Chapter 24: It Was You

Almost at the same time, we rushed towards the iron gate, and before we could touch it, we suddenly saw a black human head sticking out of the iron gate.

The man opened his mouth and said, "What's wrong?" ”

I looked at it and it turned out to be Li Jiang, and then I looked at this iron gate and instantly understood.

The previous scene was not a bizarre disappearance at all, but an illusion caused by the perspective and lighting.

It turned out that the iron gate had been staggered by a gap beforehand, and this gap was small enough to allow only one person to pass through, and in the dim light, from where we stood, the gate seemed to be in a state of complete closure.

And Li Jiang may be familiar with this place, so he flashed directly through the gap, and finally created the illusion that we mistakenly thought that he had disappeared.

After Liang Zi scolded secretly, he ordered Xiao Song and Lao Hei to wait outside the door, saying that if there was any situation, he would act at the opportunity, and after explaining, he pulled me in through the gap.

After a little look at it by the light of the flashlight, I found that the difference between the space here and the outside is quite large, the most obvious is that there are some potholes on the ground, and the diameter of the hole is about one meter, which is not very regular.

I walked to the edge of one of the potholes, shone a flashlight into it, and saw that the inside of the potholes was full of water, and the water in some of the potholes was overflowing.

The water in these pits is drained into a smaller groove through the drain.

Looking along the drain, there are all such potholes, although the flashlight is not far away, but from the tail light can be faintly seen, more potholes are lined up all the way to the depths, reaching into the interior of this bomb shelter.

"One hundred and twenty seconds left!" Liang Zi yelled at Li Jiang again.

"Can you please stop counting down, just ahead, count from here, thirteenth, people in the pit." Li Jiang pointed forward with both hands and said very calmly.

I couldn't figure out why Li Jiang instilled in us the concept of a countdown, and in his opinion, this countdown seemed to be very accurate.

First of all, I thought that a time bomb had been set up, but on second thought, it would be too difficult to get such a time bomb, and it was not very likely.

Subsequently, I thought that Li Jiang was secretly changing the concept for us, and it was very likely that it was just so that we could set off overnight. At this point, it is estimated that Liang Zi is the same as I think, and although Liang Zi is emphasizing the time vigorously, I can hear it from his tone, he doesn't seem to care about this countdown, but is to remind Li Jiang at all times.

And now, seeing the structure of these potholes, coupled with the words that Li Jiang said at this moment, I instantly understood. Li Jiang's countdown is that he uses a certain method to trap people in the pit, and then directs the flow of water into the pit, and by measuring the flow rate of the water, he can calculate when the entire pit can be filled with water, and when the pit is filled with water, it is when the person in the pit is drowned.

Therefore, the time that Li Jiang finally calculated was 6:30 a.m. today!

As the concept flashed through my mind, Liang Zi and I almost sprinted towards the thirteenth pothole.

However, when we rushed to the pothole, we found that it was different from the others, and it was covered by a large iron fence.

Looking down through the fence, you can see that the water in the crater is almost full, only about ten centimeters above the ground, and on the water, you can clearly see some long hair floating on it.

My mind went blank at the sight of the hair, my legs had softened completely, and the only thought in my mind was to remove the damn iron fence right away!

I grabbed the iron fence with both hands and pulled it up with all my might, but the thing didn't know how it was fixed, and it didn't move. After the defeat, I didn't stop, screaming again and pulling up with all my might, and in the process, my tears flowed down my cheeks like beads of broken thread.

I previously thought that there was a 90% chance that Li He was not here, because I felt that the connection between Li Jiang, a murderous demon, and Li He's mysterious disappearance was too low, like two gears far apart, which could not touch and affect each other.

However, according to the current situation, Li Jiang and Li He's bizarre disappearance are very inevitably related!

Suddenly, I remembered a detail I had missed, which was the dead Sister Juan.

I vaguely remember that Sister Juan once told me one thing before her death, that is, there used to be a couple of young couples living upstairs in my house, and then the man went crazy and the woman died.

Could it be that the way he added me as a friend through WeChat was searched by people nearby? He's the one who lives upstairs from me all the time? Is that the crazy man that?

Moreover, Sister Juan once told me that I would find a master to help me find Li He.

Could it be that this master is Li Jiang?

No, it's not a problem, but it should be sure and certain, Liu Jiang is the resident upstairs!

At this time, two gears that were far apart came to my mind again, this time with a transmission belt over them, and after a "click" sound, they began to rotate at the same time......

"Clickβ€”β€”!"

A sharp metal crash rang in my ears, and it pulled my consciousness back into reality.

I saw that the whole face of the beam next to me was suffocated, the green tendons on his forehead were bulging, and his hands were tightly grasping the steel bars on both sides of the iron fence, and he was trying his best to lift it into his arms.

At the same time, there was a "bang-" sound, and I saw that the iron fence was finally lifted by the beam and thrown aside.

At this point, I didn't even think about it, and immediately jumped into the hole.

In an instant, the icy water flooded the top of my head, and I didn't have time to think about how deep I sank, but I subconsciously hugged my hands in front of me, just wanting to hug Li He's body.

However, I held an empty space, and there was still water around me.

I stayed in the water for a moment, quickly surfaced, breathed a sigh, and stabbed down again.

This time, I dived all the way to the bottom of the pit and groped around the bottom, still touching nothing but the hard rocks.

How so? Li He is not here?

I didn't give up, and I took this breath and touched all the corners of the pit again, but still didn't touch anything.

In an instant, another thought crossed my mind.

It's a trap!
