Chapter 22: The Trap
The owner of the villa turned to look at He Xizheng, which made He Xizheng feel a chill down his spine.
He stared at He Xizheng for a while, and then the corner of his eyes suddenly drifted to a corner behind He Xizheng, and his gaze became cold and said, "Useless thing!" ”
With that, he stood up and waved to He Xizheng, who hurriedly stepped forward. The owner of the villa whispered to He Xizheng: "How much value do you think you have?" ”
He Xizheng broke out in a cold sweat, his face became as ugly as a pig's liver, his body suddenly softened, he crawled at the feet of the owner of the villa, and said tremblingly: "I, I will definitely make meritorious contributions to my crimes, and I will definitely do things well." ”
The owner of the villa looked at him coldly and pleaded, and the corners of his eyes did not move: "Do you want to make meritorious service to the crime?" ”
With that, he turned around and looked out the window at the endless night sky.
Just then, his phone rang, and he glanced down, but didn't pick it up.
The phone kept ringing, but the owner of the villa never meant to answer, and even He Xizheng felt strange. After a long time, the corner of the villa's mouth suddenly turned up, handed the phone to He Xizheng, and said: "You are waiting for me in this room, and in ten minutes, if the phone rings again, you will pick it up, understand?" ”
He Xizheng hurriedly took the phone with both hands, and nodded his head as if he had been ordered to understand.
The owner of the villa glanced at He Xizheng meaningfully, then turned around and twitched a certain book on a shelf, and the bookshelf opened in response, and it turned out to be a trapdoor.
The owner of the villa walked in under He Xizheng's surprised gaze.
The bookshelf was soon closed again, and He Xizheng couldn't see the owner of the villa, so he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had turned around in the ghost gate, and despite the bitter cold of winter, the sweat had wet the back of his clothes.
The phone rang endlessly, He Xizheng stood up, looked at the mobile phone, and was confused, not knowing what medicine the villa owner was selling in the gourd.
He looked at his watch, and when ten minutes finally passed, He Xizheng swiped the phone screen and picked up the phone.
"Hehe, are you finally willing to answer the phone?" A very calm male voice came from the phone, "Trust me, you can't run away." ”
He Xizheng didn't know what to say, and after thinking for a long time, he stammered and said, "You, who are you?" ”
The person on the phone seemed to be a little surprised by He Xizheng's answer, and said, "Who am I?" I'm your ghost! ”
With that, he had already hung up.
On the other end, Kong Xianglin and Pan Yun respectively received a notice from the antenna that the location of the phone had been accurately located, and it was in Villa No. 7.
The two groups hurried to Villa No. 7. When he arrived at the place, Kong Xianglin couldn't help frowning, this No. 7 villa was the villa He Xizheng entered, he remembered the scene that the evil eye saw, and couldn't help but secretly regret it, he shouldn't have let the evil eye keep staring at He Xizheng, but should have entered the bookshelf trap with the owner of the villa, the owner of the villa is afraid that there is a big problem, if he lets him run, it will be a big loss.
It was not too late to make amends, Kong Xianglin immediately issued an order to the evil eye that was monitoring He Xizheng, asking it to follow through the subtle cracks in the trapdoor and track down the owner of the villa, while he and Pan Yun and others stepped forward to knock on the door.
He couldn't help but sigh secretly, is this time going to be in the air again? Having said that, a dead horse is regarded as a live horse doctor, since it is here, how can a few people have to go in and check it, otherwise how can they be willing? Kong Xianglin could only secretly hope that there was no other way for the owner of the villa to enter the trapdoor to leave here.
The door opened, and the middle-aged servant who opened the door, this person was in his fifties, but he looked a little sluggish, and when he saw the stranger, he didn't even ask, and he led several people to the villa's master's study, so that several people inevitably looked at each other, and they all saw a trace of surprise in the eyes of their teammates.
They followed the servant to the study, and the servant opened the door and let them in.
He Xizheng was still standing there staring at the phone in a daze, waiting for the next call to come in, the door opened, he looked up and saw that Kong Xianglin's appearance surprised him.
"Dalin!" He Xizheng's tone was obviously incredulous, "How did you find here?" Are you stalking me? ”
Kong Xianglin smiled coldly: "I don't have that much interest in you yet." ”
After that, he ignored He Xizheng, walked straight to the trapdoor, and pulled the book that the owner of the villa had pulled.
At this moment, Pan Yun's nose suddenly moved, and then exclaimed: "Xianglin, don't move!" ”
But his call was still a step late, and Kong Xianglin had already pulled the book out.
The trapdoor opened, but he was greeted by a series of explosions inside the trapdoor, followed by a huge fire dragon, breaking out of the door with a "whew".
Kong Xianglin was defenseless, and was hit by the fire dragon and flew backwards, and the hair on his body was burned by the fire dragon, so he was not a wolf.
Pan Yun and the others hurriedly rushed forward and pulled Kong Xianglin up.
Pan Yun shouted: "There is an ambush, retreat quickly!" ”
Unfortunately, they realized that it was too late, and they only heard the sound of explosions in all corners of the study, and the flames had ignited the pre-planted explosives in the study.
"Go through the window!" Zou Yunzhong looked around and found that a glass window was large enough to accommodate people, so he rushed over first, smashed the glass and jumped out of the window.
Pan Yun and Hao Yu set up Kong Xianglin one by one, and hurriedly followed Zou Yunzhong, jumping out of the breach he had knocked open.
Over there, He Xizheng was almost stunned by this sudden change, and when he saw a few people jumping out of the window, he hurriedly shouted: "Wait for me!" He jumped out with it.
The villa was on fire, and several people jumped out easily, and they all had palpitations, and they were lucky: fortunately, the power of the explosives was not great, otherwise several people were afraid that they would not be killed on the spot! But before they could rejoice, they heard the rumbling sound under their feet, and there was a dense and low explosion from the ground.
Kong Xianglin, who was chasing after the owner of the villa, said: "Run, that person has detonated all the underground." ”
Only then did he realize that the tunnel was full of explosives, and when he pulled the book, he ignited the fuse, and all the explosives were ignited one by one, and its power could be smaller?
Several people hurriedly stumbled and supported each other and ran into the distance, and He Xizheng also hurriedly chased after him, using both hands and feet, only hating his father and mother for having two legs, and wanted to escape from the danger before the fire spread.
The rumbling sound from the ground finally caused the ground to collapse, and a raging fire erupted from the cracks.
"Run!" Pan Yun shouted at Kong Xianglin.
Kong Xianglin's evil eye was also damaged by the violent explosion, and he couldn't continue to follow him, so he had no choice but to run away with the help of Pan Yun and Hao Yu.
The new round of explosion was bitter for He Xizheng, before he could escape from that area, the ground began to collapse, he almost ran desperately step by step, but he still did not escape the speed of the explosion, and was swallowed up by the raging sea of cannibalistic fire.
"Help me!" He Xizheng shouted desperately.
The few people who had just escaped looked back and couldn't help but feel palpitations.
Kong Xianglin looked at He Xizheng in distress and wanted to save him, but he couldn't catch it.
He couldn't help but think of the cloud puppet, and he didn't know if he could summon it and use it again after just a few hours.
He hurriedly thought and appeared in the space of seals.
Brother Zhao walked over and asked, "Do you want to save him?" ”
Kong Xianglin said: "Your old man is really a roundworm in my stomach, but I don't know how the cooldown time of the cloud puppet is calculated, can it be used again every time it is past twelve o'clock in the middle of the night?" ”
Because the previous battle between Liu Nian and Liu Nian in the pharmaceutical factory took place in the first half of the night, and now more than three hours have passed, and it has already passed midnight, and it is the second half of the night. According to Kong Xianglin's conjecture, the cloud puppet should be able to be used again.
Brother Zhao said: "I read the puppet of "Jiangshan Jue" at the time, the description of the daily use time limit is not clear, according to my understanding of the Ming Dynasty refiners, the magic weapon they refined, the time limit for the use of spiritual weapons is very different from the definition of people now. If my guess is correct, the limit is not what you might think, which is recalculated every midnight, but every quarter of an hour, a little bit of available time is restored, and when the time used accumulates to a quarter of an hour, that is, five minutes, it reaches a full state, and cannot be added up again. ”
Kong Xianglin's eyes lit up and said: "That means that you can actually use it many times a day, but the total time can't exceed five minutes, right?" Besides, you've been able to summon cloud golems now, right? ”
Brother Zhao nodded and said, "It's just that the use time has shrunk significantly, and it is estimated that it won't even be used for a minute, and it will dissipate." ”
Kong Xianglin thought of the dead He Xijun and said firmly: "It won't take a minute, as long as there are a few seconds, it is estimated that He Xizheng can be rescued." ”
Brother Zhao groaned: "Well, it should be so. I don't think you noticed that in fact, the puppets you can use now are not one cloud golem, but three types of water golems corresponding to the power of water, fire golems of fire power, and cloud golems of the combined force of water and fire. ”
Kong Xianglin was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood: "I see, I understand, then it is better to use a water puppet to save people in the fire." Let's do it now, he'll be done too late. ”
So Kong Xianglin retreated from the seal space without delay, and according to the method used by the puppet in "Jiangshan Jue", he summoned the water puppet constructed by the power of water travel, and poured Brother Zhao's primordial spirit into it.
The primordial spirit entered the body, and the water puppet immediately came to life and rushed towards the raging sea of fire.
He Xizheng's screams were still endless, and Brother Zhao's water puppet followed his screams and looked for him, and it didn't take long to find him. I saw that he was now stuck in a turned up plot, unable to pull his feet, and was ignited by the fire spewing from the ground, and his clothes were ignited, and he was screaming miserably.
Brother Zhao hurriedly rushed forward, and with all the strength of the water puppet, he moved away the clod of dirt that was holding his calf and pulled He Xizheng out.
He Xizheng couldn't care about Brother Zhao's weird form at this time, seeing that someone came to help, he naturally hugged him like a life-saving straw, he only felt a cool body carry him up, and the fire on his body was not extinguished, but he fainted.
Brother Zhao walked like a fly, carried him out of the sea of fire, threw him on the grass, and dissipated the body of the water puppet on his own, disappearing between heaven and earth.
Pan Yun and the others watched Kong Xianglin summon the water puppet out to save people, and then dissipated on their own, and they all looked at him with some surprise, especially his old friend Pan Yun, whose eyes changed greatly when they saw Kong Xianglin.
