Tussaud's abandoned castle, in a room on the second floor.

On the desktop, the flashlight lit up a pillar of light, which pierced the darkness and brightened the originally dark room, but the closed door still limited the light to this small space.

In the room, at the wooden table, there were two people sitting facing each other, a young man with a delicate face and a Sven man wearing gold wire glasses.

Holding the golden wire glasses on the bridge of his nose, Zhao Ping said to He Fei opposite him in a tentative tone while his face was solemn: "What do you mean...... This castle has 3 floors? ”

He Fei nodded noncommittally at first, but then shook his head, and then replied: "What you said is neither right nor right, strictly speaking, the ground building of this ancient castle is indeed only 3 floors, but you have to count the basement...... That should be 4 floors. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Ping directly asked with a puzzled expression this time: "4th floor? You said that there were a few oil paintings, but isn't there nothing in the fourth oil painting? ”

In fact, it is not unreasonable for Zhao Ping to say this, the meaning of the words is clear and clear, He Fei still shook his head and replied after hearing it: "No, I am sure that it is the 4th layer, although all this is just my personal speculation, but I will never be targeted for no reason, if you know the details, I can tell you my reasoning and analysis." ”

Zhao Ping didn't speak, and nodded.

Seeing the curiosity on the man in glasses, He Fei said: "I don't know if you still remember the video you watched in the No. 1 carriage, in which there is a picture of a human slaughterhouse, and the most impressive thing in that picture is that in addition to the corpses everywhere, it is a bad environment, the environment is very dark, although the other floors of the castle are also very dark, but anyway, it is still brighter than the slaughterhouse, and have you ever thought that there are so many corpses in the slaughterhouse, if the slaughterhouse is located on the ground floor, The smell of blood and decay from these corpses must have spread to all parts of the castle. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and looked at the thoughtful man with glasses, He Fei continued: "Therefore, I dare to conclude that since we all knew from the video preview that there is indeed a dark slaughterhouse in the castle, then the location of the slaughterhouse will only be in the basement, after all, only the basement in a closed state can isolate the smell of blood and rancidity, since this is the case, so the meaning of the fourth oil painting is full of darkness can naturally be explained, I will give a simple example, if this castle is in the daytime, During the day, without using any light-emitting tools, what floor is there that is still invisible even during the day? ”

Not to mention, after He Fei finished this personal analysis, Zhao Ping felt that it seemed to be really as analyzed by the other party, perhaps this is the most reasonable explanation at present.

After hearing this, the man with glasses couldn't help but nodded, but ......

"Ahh

As soon as He Fei's voice fell, suddenly, a terrible scream came from afar, and it instantly resounded around and spread all over the floor.

As expected, hearing the screams, He Fei and Zhao Ping suddenly trembled in their hearts, first glanced at each other, and soon Zhao Ping took the lead in a expressionless whisper: "It's Liu Zhengkun's voice." ”

He Fei frowned, but he didn't speak, he was thinking...... Pondering whether this second-layer marrow was what he had speculated, because it was related to whether he and Zhao Ping could continue to stay here.

The scene was silent for a while, and under the gaze of the man with glasses, it took several minutes for He Fei to come back from his contemplation, but who would have thought that he didn't wait for him to open his mouth......

Boom...... Boom...... Boom......

Through the door, a series of extremely regular knocking sounds came from outside the door, straight into the ears of He Fei and Zhao Ping.

The sound, quite rhythmic, from far to near, seems to be getting closer and closer to this place!!

Sure enough, hearing this familiar voice, Zhao Ping, who had had a terrible experience on the 2nd floor, suddenly changed his complexion! Suddenly got up, didn't want to raise his feet and run towards the door, yes, the man with glasses was not scared, and instinctively wanted to run......

"Wait a minute!"

Unexpectedly, just as the man with glasses ran to the door, He Fei on the other side also hurriedly got up, but he did not hesitate to say anything to stop him.

Seeing Zhao Ping's puzzled and nervous gaze at him, He Fei didn't talk nonsense, and said directly to the man with glasses: "Do you remember the axe on the first floor not long ago?" Do you remember how fast the axe beetle was? The speed of the scorpion in the corridor sounds like it is slow, but have you ever thought about the speed of the scorpion once it finds a living person? And the room we're in is in the middle of this hallway, if you go out right now and happen to be seen by the stingers......"

Although He Fei did not finish the latter words, Zhao Ping, who is also a smart person, instantly understood the meaning of the other party's words, and it was only after listening to He Fei that he suddenly recalled the axe mantis on the first floor before, indeed, the axe mantis moved very slowly when no living person was found, after all, he and He Fei had confirmed on the first floor that the axe mantis was not fast when no living person was found, but, as He Fei said, he Zhao Ping had also seen with his own eyes how fast the axe mantis were once they locked on a living person and began to pursue! It's terrifying, it's so fast that it's far beyond humans!

Of course, with Zhao Ping's intelligence, he could actually think of it easily, but the sudden panic and fear made him confused on the spot when he heard the movement outside the door...... You can imagine what will happen to you at that time.

The examples are separate, but the reason is the same, thinking about this, Zhao Ping retracted the hand that had been placed on the doorknob and was about to push the door out, yes, he didn't dare to take risks, no one dared to be sure that he would not be discovered by the mantis when he went out.

Knock, knock, knock......

Getting back to the point, let's not talk about how the two people who are currently trapped in the room and dare not go out feel, but as time goes by, the strange knocking sound outside the door has not stopped from beginning to end, not only has it not stopped, but it is even clearer than before.

Other words...... The moth is approaching! I'm heading down the hallway, and I'm even about to reach the room where the two of them are! There is no way for them to escape!!

In the room, the sound became clearer and clearer, and Zhao Ping's face became more and more pale, because he knew very well that once he was blocked in the room, it was basically a dead end, which was why he would rather keep walking around in the empty hall on the first floor than come to the second floor to hide, which was what he was most worried about.

It's a pity that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes, he and He Fei were chased to the 2nd floor by the axe mantis, and at this moment, the two of them were both blocked in the room by another mantis on the 2nd floor.

"Can't escape......"

Listening to the sound outside the door getting closer and closer, Zhao Ping was almost desperate, and in despair, the man with glasses said the above sentence with a pale face, and as soon as the words fell, He Fei on the side said in a calm tone: "Since you can't escape, then hide!" ”

Zhao Ping nodded silently, judging from the current situation, since there was no way to escape, he could only hide in advance before the two of them were discovered by the mantis in the corridor.

Time was short, just after He Fei said a few words to hide, Zhao Ping also hurriedly picked up the cat's eye flashlight that had been placed on the table before and quickly illuminated the surroundings, it seemed that he wanted to find a place to hide, but unfortunately the room was so big, it was basically difficult to hide, seeing that there was nowhere to hide, the man with glasses panicked, and turned his eyes behind him at a critical moment, and finally locked directly under the wooden bed in the corner.

There is no doubt that Zhao Ping's intentions are very simple, and the only place where people can be hidden at present is under the bed.

Then, the man with glasses panicked and leaned over and made a gesture to get under the bed, but just as he tried to crawl to the bottom of the bed, a hand stretched out from behind his back grabbed him without hesitation and grabbed the man's arm.

And the one who grabbed the arm and stopped him from moving...... Naturally, there is only He Fei who stays with him.

Seeing that the hiding was blocked, and seeing that the other party was still standing in place for a long time without moving, Zhao Ping suddenly turned his head to look at He Fei, for a while his eyes not only carried a look of incomprehension but also mixed with a trace of anger, obviously, he didn't understand why the other party wanted to stop him from hiding, but He Fei was not afraid of Zhao Ping's gaze, so he looked at Zhao Ping and said a sentence to him, a sentence that was enough to surprise the man with glasses: "Unless you want to die, I advise you not to hide under the bed!" ”

Knock, knock, knock!

At the same time, the knock on the door became louder.

Mantis, it's almost here, and the mantis is about to arrive outside the room where the two of them are!

At this moment, no matter how incomprehensible and annoyed Zhao Ping was, He Fei's words with a serious warning really pulled the man with glasses back to reality in a panic, yes, Zhao Ping is not an impulsive person, he has always been very rational, and even sometimes he can be rational enough to make people feel cold-blooded, the words are right, but no matter how rational people are, they are still human beings, and people are afraid of death, especially when facing fear or imminent death, they will still panic, first forcing themselves to regain their composure, and then the glasses man whispered to He Fei: "What you just said, What do you mean? ”

He Fei shook his head and didn't answer immediately, but under Zhao Ping's slightly puzzled gaze, he quickly moved a stool, first put the stool under the cabinet about one person high on the right side of the room, and then climbed to the top of the cabinet while stepping on the stool!

"This, what are you?"

Knock, knock, knock!

Before Zhao Ping, who had a stunned expression, reacted, when he heard the knock outside the corridor again, on the cabinet, He Fei had an anxious face and greeted him: "I don't have time to explain, come up!" Come up! ”

Looking up at He Fei who was squatting at the top of the cabinet, and seeing that the other party was constantly urging him, Zhao Ping's face began to twitch, yes...... He didn't understand the other party's intentions and hid in the cabinet? It's all too obvious! Hiding in such an obvious place is afraid that the mantis will not be able to see you?

At this moment, as his face twitched more and more violently, the man with glasses fell into a tangle until he ......

"Trust me!"

Until the young man's voice came again, Zhao Ping looked at He Fei's eyes, and for a while, the two looked at each other like this, and no one spoke.

In the end, Zhao Ping moved, gritted his teeth and climbed straight up to the cabinet.

(Dead or alive, I, Zhao Ping, will believe you once!) ）
