DAY 93 Dangerous Attempt
My brother and I moved lightly and carefully like thieves.
This layer is really empty, and there is no place to hide, which makes it extremely difficult to follow the action. Fortunately, the surrounding area was obscure because of the newspapers, and it was difficult for people from a distance to find us as long as we stood still.
The man walked around the elevator, stopped in front of the elevator, and then walked in the direction of the floor-to-ceiling window.
My brother seemed to have guessed what the other party was going to do, and suddenly grabbed my arm and whispered in my ear: "As soon as I pull you later, you will quietly walk to the front of the elevator with me, and we will hurry in as soon as the elevator opens, understand?" ”
I nodded inexplicably.
After the man had walked for a while, I felt my brother tug at my arm, so I walked gently with him in the direction of the elevator.
It's a pity that there is a place in front of me that is brighter because of the newspaper that my brother tore open. If you pass through there in a grand way, you will probably reveal your position directly.
My brother grabbed me before he got there, took me a short distance closer to the floor-to-ceiling window, and then pressed me down on the shoulder, as if motioning for me to climb over.
It's a good way to bypass the light and not get exposed, although it's a bit silly. I buried myself cooperatively, pouting my ass and crawling nimbly.
My brother crawled over and grabbed my arm again. I felt like he was nervous, and his palms were sweaty. He led me in the direction of the elevator, and we walked against the wall again.
At this moment, there was a crisp "brush" in front of the floor-to-ceiling window not far away, and a piece of newspaper was torn off, and the light cast fell behind us, almost shining on us - fortunately we walked fast.
Then came "brush" and "brush", and the man seemed to start tearing the newspaper frantically, trying to expose us to the ever-expanding range of light projections.
At this time, we finally came to the elevator door, and I heard my brother quickly count "one, two, three" in the air.
Then I pressed the elevator button.
The red circle around the button lit up, followed by a "ding" sound, and the elevator doors began to open slowly.
Almost at the same time, the frantically tearing of newspapers stopped, and the sound of a man's swift footsteps began to approach us.
My heart was beating out of my throat, and before the elevator could fully open, I quickly got into the elevator with my brother one after another, and at the same time quickly pressed the door button. I felt cold sweat on both of our palms.
Fortunately, the moment we saw a figure that was rapidly enlarging towards us, the elevator door closed.
I hurriedly pressed a random first floor.
At the same time, I found out that this was the seventh floor.
My brother and I stuck to the edge of the elevator, panting in fear.
At that moment, we clearly saw that the man wearing the strange hood was holding a sharp fruit knife in his hand.
I can't imagine what we would be like if we were one step slower or the elevator was one step slower.
I can't imagine if my brother hadn't noticed the man's movements in advance, and we would have been able to escape as safely as we are now, if we had waited for the newspaper to start being torn open before we started to escape.
Sure enough, someone is still trying to take our lives...... No, it's taking my life, right? From being in the secret passage, to the supermarket, to now, sure enough, I still have my brother involved, right?
My brother seemed to sense my thoughts, frowned and warned me, "Don't think about it. ”
I smiled bitterly.
But who is this person? The obsession is so deep. I thought I would really get rid of him thanks to that uncle.
Soon, the elevator went smoothly to the first floor. With a "ding", the elevator door opened, and the familiar interior layout of the library was outside.
Before the younger brother got out of the elevator, he didn't forget to press the second to eleventh floors, but he didn't press the seventh floor.
"Let's get out of here, it's not safe here with that madman just now." My brother pulled me and said.
"What about 'Mom and Dad'? With that kind of person, they will be in danger. I bit my lower lip and hesitated.
"They don't necessarily run into each other, and maybe that person stole Mom & Dad's iWatch and hid it here to trick us." The younger brother frowned again, "I can't let you go back on adventures anymore." ”
"No, 'Mom and Dad' must be in there, have you forgotten that note?" I shook my head and said firmly, "That must be a message they left me." Besides, you've seen that book, haven't you? That handwriting or something, and hair or something, you yourself said it was 'Mommy'! ”
"I just suspected it was her, I didn't say it was definitely her." The younger brother pursed his lips vigorously, "Anyway, I can't let you go back." I can't guarantee that we'll be able to come out safe and sound again. ”
"But!" I still want to say something unwillingly, my brother has already started to use brute force to drag me out.
I have to say that adolescent boys really have a lot of strength.
"Wait, you let me go, can't I go? I'm going to go on my own. I said helplessly, because there was a smooth marble floor under my feet, and there was not much friction at all, so before my brother pulled a few times, I had been pulled out for a long distance.
My brother looked at me suspiciously, then let me go.
In fact, I have to admit that I myself was scared enough by what just happened. But "Mom and Dad" can't just ignore it, right? I thought of a compromise and said tentatively to my brother in a negotiating tone: "Okay, I'll go with you, but we want to leave a massage that only they can understand for 'Mom and Dad' to remind them of the danger, right?" ”
The younger brother thought about it and nodded approvingly: "Well, okay." But how to stay? It's better to hurry, the elevator is going up. ”
I rubbed my chin a few times, tilted my head and said, "Do you remember one year when we were on a family road trip, because the car did not have an alarm function at that time, the door was not closed and I got on the highway, and I was almost thrown off the car in the middle of the road?" ”
"I don't remember...... Is there such a thing? Why am I not impressed at all? I was still young, wasn't I? My brother looked at me suspiciously, "What's wrong with this?" ”
"yes, you were a baby." I shook my head with some regret, and then swore again, "But if you don't remember, 'Mom and Dad' do." How dangerous it was at that time, if I wasn't careful, I might lose my life! As long as the time and place of this matter are brought up and written in a conspicuous place, they will definitely think of 'danger'! After speaking, he nodded affirmatively.
The younger brother flew over directly and rolled his eyes: "This is too far-fetched." Let me think about it. After a pause, he tilted his head and suggested hesitantly, "You say...... How about leaving a message on iWatch? ”
