Chapter 16: The Burning Man

Without much thought, I gritted my teeth and immediately climbed out of the window and stepped on the rain shade under the window, but my hands were still holding the edge of the window, and the whole person was close to the wall outside the floor.

The texture of the concrete is quite strong, and Shen Li also turned it down, and told me not to look down.

The night breeze blows, and at this time, we are completely exposed to the outer walls of residential buildings, not to mention looking down, even looking into the distance, there will be a sense of excitement of riding a roller coaster.

"Look at the air conditioner."

Shen Li's voice stabilized my heart, and I followed her finger to look, and sure enough, on the rain shelter a few meters away from us, there was an air conditioner outside, and on that air-conditioner, there was another closed window.

"That's Lao Chu's living room window."

After Shen Li finished speaking, he directly let go of the hand holding the edge of the window, stuck to the outer wall of the residential building, and moved towards the air conditioner step by step from the rain shield.

I took a deep breath, let go of my hand holding the window edge, and followed Shen Li as he moved.

If there were a drone with photographic equipment for aerial photography at this time, I'm sure what we're doing now is no less than a commercial blockbuster like "Mission Impossible".

In fact, after taking a step, it is not so difficult.

Although this rain shelter is only less than half a meter, it is for adults to walk, there is no problem at all, I am afraid, just because this is the outer wall of the seventh floor of a residential building, and if you fall down, you will definitely die or live.

In this way, in the cold wind that was not very cold, but made me feel biting, Shen Li and I moved step by step on the outer wall of the residential building, until we moved to the air conditioner under the window of Lao Chu's living room.

The moment I grabbed the iron frame of the air conditioner, I let out a long breath of cold air that I was holding in my heart.

followed the head, and looked at the window of Lao Chu's living room above the air conditioner with Shen Li.

However, just as I saw the scene in Lao Chu's living room through the window, I sucked all the cool air I had just exhaled back into my body.

Because in this old Chu living room, he was driving a guillotine......

Not bad! A solid wooden table against the wall, on the table, hangs a large gate knife with a glowing blue light!

At this time, under the knife and on the table, there was a person lying on his stomach......

The man, as if gagged by something, and his limbs were tied to the four corners of the wooden table, with only his head lying on the wooden table, lying under the blade of the big sword!

I can even imagine that if the big knife fell, the body of the person lying on the wooden table would be separated!

"It's Lao Chu......"

Shen Li spoke in a low voice, pointing above the blade of the big gate knife again.

"Jiang Wangsheng, you almost killed Lao Chu......"

I was stunned for a moment, and looked along Shen Li's finger, only to see that above the blade of the big gate knife, there was a small hole, and in the small hole, a hemp rope was worn, that is, the hemp rope kept the gate knife from falling.

And the hemp rope passed through the chandelier in the living room from the top, and the other end was tied to the ...... It's tied to the doorknob of the door of this house!

Not bad!

The other end of the hemp rope that controls the knife from falling is tied to the doorknob of the door of this house!

In other words, if I had opened the door and rushed into this house in spite of Shen Li's obstruction just now, the hemp rope would have loosened and the knife would fall, and this old Chu lying on the wooden table would have fallen to the ground!

And I'm ...... He became the executioner who activated the gate knife!

I took a deep breath, my heart was numb, and I understood why we knocked on the door and opened the door, and Lao Chu in this room would let out the urgent choking sound of "woo woo".

Because Lao Chu on this wooden table sees everything in his eyes, he knows that as long as someone enters the house, he will have to fall to the ground!

Thinking about it this way, every knock and impact we just made was a kind of mental destruction for him!

Damn it, if it wasn't Lao Chu but me lying on the wooden table, I would have been scared to pee......

"Shen Li, it's good to have you ......"

I sighed from the bottom of my heart, Shen Li patted me on the shoulder, and without saying much, he reached out to lift the window in front of us.

However, at the same time that Shen Li reached out to lift the window in front of us, I only saw through the moonlight, and Lao Chu, who was lying on the wooden table in the window, although he couldn't shout because he was closed, was staring at us with wide eyes, and his eyes were full of bottomless despair.

I instantly thought of the old hunter who killed Chen Sheng with his own shotgun, and the eyes of the old hunter at that time were filled with the same despair in Chen Sheng's eyes at this time.

Wrong!

My heart fluttered, and my mind once again came up with the words that Jiang Yunliu had said in the mountains.

"For demons, killing pleasures oneself, and once pleasure is numb to pleasure and tastes despair, it becomes the greatest pleasure......"

Wrong! Something must be wrong!

My eyes widened, and I looked along the hemp rope on the knife to the chandelier above the living room, and then I noticed that on the other side of the chandelier, on the dimly lit ceiling facing our window, there was a rope that also guided the knife......

Grass! This window is also one of the mechanisms that activate the sluice knife!

"Shen Li! Stop ......"

Before I could fully yell out, Shen Li had already lifted the window in front of us.

For a while, I only heard a "click", and then I saw that the hemp rope hanging from the blade on the big gate knife had rebounded and loosened......

Subconsciously closed his eyes, and the last moment of his gaze was still the bottomless despair in the eyes of Lao Chu lying on the wooden table.

However, just as I closed my eyes, there was a "pop" sound that exploded in front of me.

When I opened my eyes, I found that the window in front of us had been broken, and one of Shen Li's hands was stretched out towards the window, and his fingers were covered with blood.

And in the window, the loose hemp rope with the big knife has been nailed to the wooden TV wall behind the wooden table by a palm-sized shard of glass.

The hemp rope jumped again, and the slipped big knife was fixed on Lao Chu, who was lying on the wooden table, an inch above his neck.

Shen Li, of course!

She broke the window, and the blood on her hand should have been scratched by grabbing the shard of glass and throwing it at the hemp rope.

Before I could look more, Shen Li had already reached the window with his hands, ran to the wooden table in a few steps, grabbed the hemp rope nailed by the glass piece, and pulled the big knife back to the original height on the wooden table.

"Jiang Wangsheng! Also watch? Help! ”

I reacted at this time, climbed into the window and ran over, and quickly untied Lao Chu's limbs bound by hemp rope on the wooden table.

It wasn't until I untied the hemp rope of Lao Chu's limbs and pulled Lao Chu off the wooden table that I found that Lao Chu's body was abnormally hot, and the whole person was lying on his stomach, as if he had lost his strength from a high fever.

"Lao Chu!"

Shen Li loosened the hemp rope, let the knife fall smoothly on the wooden table, and stepped over.

I also quickly turned Lao Chu over and let him lie flat on my wrist, only to find that this Lao Chu had a rag stuffed in his mouth, and his eyes were half-narrowed, as if he was about to faint.

"Woooooooooo......oo Woowoo woo ......"

As if he wanted to say something, Lao Chu was stuffed with rags in his mouth, and he made an urgent choking sound again.

"What did you say?"

I was in a hurry, and directly ripped off the rag in Lao Chu's mouth.

However, it's my move, it's my damn move! It gave me my first nightmare that I will never forget.

Because, at the same time as I tore off the rag in Lao Chu's mouth, I only found that a puff of white smoke rose from Lao Chu's mouth without the rag, and then, a burning flame actually crackled out of his mouth!

Not bad!

It's in the mouth of this old Chu! There was a burst of flames!

I was stunned, but Shen Li pulled me up and retreated, and in the next moment, with a "boom", the flames in Lao Chu's mouth surged out, igniting his entire body.

If there was dry firewood, the fire devoured Lao Chu in an instant, making Lao Chu directly become a burning man.

I was completely stupid, and the old Chu, who had become a fire man, turned over, lay on the floor, and stretched out his hand towards me.

"Bed...... Fast...... Bed ......"

The three words intermittently seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and at the same time, Shen Li had already wrung a plastic bucket from the bathroom, and threw the water in the bucket towards Lao Chu, who was burned into a burning man.

However, it didn't work, although the flames on Lao Chu's body were extinguished by Shen Li, fireworks kept coming out of his mouth, obviously, Lao Chu's whole person was burning from the inside out, and his body was already a sea of fire......

didn't give up, I followed Shen Li and continued to go to the bathroom to fetch water, and pounced on Lao Chu again and again.

It wasn't until a few trips later that Lao Chu was completely out of breath, and the flame in his mouth gradually extinguished.

I took a look, and saw that Lao Chu's skin at this time had melted into a ball, and his entire cheeks were unrecognizable, like wax oil flowing after a candle was burning......

I couldn't help but turn around and retch, my heart was filled with horror, and Shen Li smashed his fist on the wooden table where the knife was placed, directly smashing the solid wooden table into a crack.

"Jiang Wangsheng, call the police!"

After Shen Li finished speaking, he walked towards the wax-like corpse of Lao Chu, and I turned my back to the window, not daring to look at Lao Chu's miserable state.

This old Chu Ke was a living person, and he was burned into a wax man under our noses......

I gasped for breath for a long time, until the panic subsided.

I took out my mobile phone to call the police, but when I put it down, I found that there was a small reflective object under the window in front of me, in the gap between the window edge and the wall.

I pulled the little object out, and I saw ...... It turned out to be a pinhole camera......
