Chapter 553: The Magical Creatures of the Laboratory
"Be careful!"
The two men in black, one tall and one short, searched the entire laboratory bit by bit.
Above them, Xu Rui and the glowing eyes looked at each other, motionless, and the two sides confronted each other like this, not knowing how long it would last.
It is obviously not human eyes that can reflect the ghost light in the dark, at least not ordinary humans, it may be some kind of monster, or like Li Hongchang in a cage, he has been turned into an unconscious killing machine.
No matter what kind of thing it is, it will be very troublesome to deal with in the current situation, because if he can't kill the monster in the first place, it will inevitably alarm the two men in black below, and his plan to sneak in secretly this time will be ruined.
The two black-clothed men slowly walked directly below Xu Rui and began to search for the platform where he had just stayed, and at this moment, those eyes narrowed slightly, as if they were curling up, ready to pounce on Xu Rui.
Xu Rui's heart jumped, and countless ways to deal with it flashed in his mind, but he had too little information about those eyes, and no matter how he calculated, it was full of loopholes.
If you really can't do it, you can only be the first to start, desperately alarm the people in black below to take the initiative to kill the monster in seconds, and then turn around to deal with the people in black, as long as they go out to report the news, there should still be half a chance of winning!
Xu Rui thought as he clenched the broken blade in his hand.
At this moment, the glowing eyes finally moved, like a poisonous snake staring at its prey, slowly poking out of the darkness.
Xu Rui finally saw its appearance clearly, and immediately opened his mouth wide.
It wasn't a monster, it wasn't a poisonous snake, it was an ordinary black cat squatting on a high torture rack!
The black cat seemed to blame Xu Rui for breaking into its territory, glanced at him with disdain, and yawned widely.
"Shh
Xu Rui's heart that he had just put down suddenly rose again, and he hurriedly put his index finger on his lips and whispered to the black cat not to make any movement, because once there was the slightest movement, let the two men in black raise their heads and look at the ceiling, Xu Rui would reveal their positions.
Seeing Xu Rui's nervous look, the corners of the black cat's mouth grinned slightly.
Xu Rui was stunned for a moment, because for some reason, he actually felt that the cat sneered at him, as if mockery, as if disdain, and maybe some disdain.
He felt a sense of absurdity in his heart, rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked at the black cat again, but the smile had long since disappeared, and he couldn't tell whether it was a hallucination or really never appeared.
"Am I mistaken?"
Xu Rui was a little ridiculous in his heart, and the black cat suddenly glanced at him, there seemed to be a sneer in his eyes, and then raised his body and went down.
"No!"
Xu Rui slapped his head, and then he heard a "bang", and the black cat landed right on top of a pile of torture instruments, making the loudest noise.
"Over there!"
The tall man in black suddenly exclaimed, and rushed towards the location where the sound was coming from, while the short man in black carefully guarded the field of vision behind him to avoid the sound of voices.
"Meow ......"
The tall man in black was carrying a knife, and as soon as he rushed to the corner, he heard a lazy cat meow, and then saw a black cat stretching his waist and slowly and leisurely walking out of the scattered torture instruments.
"How can there be cats?"
The tall man in black was surprised when he saw that it was a cat, asked to himself, and then stepped forward to catch the cat and find out what happened.
"Wait!"
But before he could actually move, he was stopped by the short man in black.
"Huh?"
The tall man in black looked at him suspiciously.
The short man in black said, "You don't know it?" ”
"It? You say this cat? ”
The tall man in black asked.
The short man in black nodded, looking like a man of course.
"Should I know it?"
The tall man in black was a little confused.
The short man in black said, "It's an adult's pet." ”
"Huh?"
The tall man in black stared at the swaggering black cat with wide eyes.
The short man in black smiled, put away his long knife, and instantly lifted his guard.
"What are you doing? The intruder is still there, and now you don't want to kill yourself? ”
The tall man in black asked, puzzled.
The short man in black smiled: "There is no trace of the lock being picked, and there is no sign of being passive around, maybe I was negligent before and forgot to lock it." ”
The tall man in black frowned: "Are you sure?" There are at least hundreds of these eighteen horse bandits who have amazing lock-picking skills, and there are countless snitches who fly on the wall! ”
The short man in black pointed at the black cat and said: "I'm sure, because it's there, this is not an ordinary black cat, it's very psychic, but whenever a stranger appears nearby, it will inevitably blow up, you see it's so leisurely now, there will definitely be no intruder." ”
"That's it?"
The tall man in black will be skeptical, look at the short man in black, and look at the black cat.
The black cat suddenly rolled its eyes at him, as if to say, "You fool." ”
The tall man in black was stunned for a moment, only to see that the black cat seemed to disdain to be with him, and had already tilted his head, took a proud step, and walked towards the test room with his little buttocks, and wiped his paws on the floor before going out, as if he didn't want to take the dirty things out.
"This ...... It looks down on me?! ”
The tall man in black pointed at the black cat as if complaining, and said to the short man in black in astonishment.
The short man in black smiled bitterly: "Look, this cat is as magical as the Demon God, now you believe me, right?" ”
The tall man in black frowned, as if he was about to say something, but the short man in black shook his head and pushed him out: "Let's go, I promise that there is no one here, I am responsible for something happening, and there is still waiting for us over there." ”
"No, I'm still not at ease!"
"Let's go, what is this place? Who said come in? ”
The two of them walked out of the laboratory half-pushing, half-on-the-spot, carefully locking them, and the footsteps gradually faded away.
Xu Rui breathed a sigh of relief and fell from the ceiling silently.
"This beast is really psychic!"
Xu Rui sighed in his heart, for some reason, this black cat seems to be able to transmit its thoughts into the minds of humans, and it is extremely clear, as if someone is whispering in his ear, which is really shocking.
Just thinking about it, Xu Rui suddenly noticed that there was a small string of plum blossom-shaped footprints under his feet, which was very conspicuous on the floor of the spotless laboratory.
I think there should be too much dust on the torture rack, and the black cat will only step on such a series of footprints after it falls to the ground after being stained with dust......
Xu Rui smiled dumbly, but his smile was slightly condensed before it could fully bloom.
Because the moment he turned his head, the angle of his gaze changed slightly, and it was this change of angle that the shape of the series of footprints on the ground changed from scattered to an arrow-like pattern.
Xu Rui frowned, and hurriedly turned his head to look back at the string of footprints several times, and found that the pattern of the arrow could only be seen where he fell from the ceiling, and he couldn't help but be surprised and surprised.
Is it a coincidence?
Xu Rui didn't believe that this arrow could be deliberately left by the black cat, and tried to convince himself that it was a coincidence, but he suddenly remembered something.
His eyes have been genetically modified to see most of the details within a few meters of his surroundings, even in the dark.
The laboratory was brightly lit at the moment, and the black cat was only five or six meters away from him before, and even if he really hid in the shadows, there was no reason why he could only see a pair of eyes.
Xu Rui raised his head suddenly, and saw that although the corner where Fang Cai's black cat was staying was indeed a shadow, it was only darker than other places, and the details were in full view, which was completely different from Fang Cai's feeling.
"That cat is quirky!"
Xu Rui's heart froze, and then he looked carefully at the arrow composed of footprints on the floor, only to see that the arrow actually pointed to a dusty box in the corner.
He slowly walked to the box, only to see that there was also a lock on the box, the difference was that this lock was not an ordinary copper lock, but a mechanism similar to a Luban lock.
Xu Rui was very familiar with this thing, and gently pulled out one of the inconspicuous iron skewers, and the whole lock suddenly fell apart like a building block, turning into pieces of pieces.
As the copper lock disintegrated, with a "click", the lid of the box popped open, and there was nothing inside, only a dark hole, which was actually a secret passage that led to nowhere.
Xu Rui was stunned, did the cat want me to enter from here?
This matter is full of weirdness, maybe it will be some kind of conspiracy......
Xu Rui couldn't help but hesitate, but after thinking about it, he had come, if he didn't enter the secret passage, how long would he go to wander alone?
Don't mention that this door could be discovered at any time, and the rebels outside might come in at any time, wouldn't they have to go home empty-handed?
Also, that black cat is really curious......
Xu Rui frowned and groaned for a moment, gritted his teeth and got into the box, and found that there was a narrow passage more than one person high in front of him that stretched in the darkness, as if there was no end.
After getting used to the situation, he cautiously walked down the secret passage, keeping an eye out for possible mechanisms.
"Da Da Da ......"
The footsteps gradually moved away, and after a while, I don't know if Xu Rui, who was in the secret passage, triggered some mechanism again, and the lid of the box at the entrance of the secret passage suddenly closed automatically.
The black cat, who had obviously left the laboratory, appeared here again at some point, and with a slight curl of his tail, he picked up the fragments of the pile of copper locks on the ground to the corner.
Without the pile of debris, there was no sign that the box had ever been opened.
The black cat looked at the box, and the corners of his mouth grinned slightly, as if he was smiling.
