Chapter XVIII: Persuasion is ineffective

Bai Ling held the dagger and slowly retreated behind Mu Cheng.

"What if there were other people down there?" Mu Cheng said coldly.

"There's no one left in this area." Lao Xu replied, "This batch of munitions happened to be delivered tonight, so in order not to hear the noise from the people in front, the well was stopped tonight...... Otherwise, the dolls are not easy to hide. ”

"But there should be more than one ammunition warehouse here." Mu Cheng said sharply, "If several, dozens, or even dozens of warehouses are ignited one after another, all the people in this mining area will die without a place to be buried!" ”

Lao Xu smiled, "Maybe." ”

"Possibly?" Mu Cheng's voice was raised a little, "Human life is so worthless in your eyes? ”

"What can I do then," Lao Xu stretched out his hand, "This is a person's luck, and we can't control it." If you don't blow up these mines, there will be countless people who will be deceived into coming to this place in the future. Do you think that the people who died here tonight are pitiful, and those who are taken to work and keep sending them to death in the future are not pitiful? Not to mention that there are still few people in the well at night......"

The third child echoed, "That is, there are accidents in the mines here every month, so it is better to go straight to the nest and never suffer in the future!" ”

Mu Cheng felt that something was faintly wrong, but he didn't know how to refute it.

"If the mine is blown up, the government can dig again, and there will be more people to recruit workers." Bai Ling said suddenly, she looked at the third child, "If you want to vent your personal anger, you can admit it clearly, don't make so many high-sounding excuses for yourself." ”

The air in the storeroom fell silent.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Anyway, the two of you are on the bar tonight, aren't you? Lao Xu asked.

Mu Cheng clenched the knife in his hand, "You guys go now, and don't think about burning the arsenal in the future, then I can act as if I didn't see anything." ”

"But you're still going to report to the police?"

"But if I go out of this mine tonight," Mu Cheng said quietly, "I'm going to report to the officialβ€”you'd better run away and don't think about turning back." ”

Lao Xu didn't laugh angrily, "Report to the official? I saved you from the government, and you still want to report to the government? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Different. Mu Cheng replied in a low voice, "As long as I am here today, you don't want to touch this treasury at all." ”

"Then I'll also mention it," Lao Xu narrowed his eyes, "Don't forget that your wanted warrants are still posted in Huizhou City, and when you go to report to the official, you are going to throw yourself into the net...... Are you willing to do this kind of thing, and are your friends willing to do it? ”

As he spoke, he looked at Bai Ling, "What about Brother Wei?" I think you look like a person who knows the times, what do you say? ”

"Me too." Bai Ling raised his short knife and pointed at the third child, "I see that you have been peaceful for a long time, and I have forgotten how this peace came about." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Tut. ”

Almost at the moment when Lao Xu sighed, he suddenly stretched out his hand to hit the candle lamp on the side, and the candle lamp fell sharply - Mu Cheng's eyes were quick, and he rushed to Lao Xu's face with a horizontal pounce.

His knife was as fast as the wind, and the candle light cracked in response, cutting in half from the middle, and then Mu Cheng made a leap and landed firmly behind Lao Xu.

Bai Ling didn't even see how he did it, but he saw that he had already grasped the burning half of the candle in his hand.

Mu Cheng blew it out with a "whoosh".

The corner where he and Lao Xu were located immediately fell into darkness.

The third child on the other end also reacted immediately - the lamp in his hand became the only fire in the warehouse at this moment, and the third child casually threw the lamp out to lure Bai Ling away, and then quickly lurked into the dark corner of the warehouse.

Bai Ling was holding the lamp in the darkness, and as soon as he turned around, he suddenly heard a muffled sound of kicking and kicking from the left front.

Then Mu Cheng carried the third child and threw it at Bai Ling's feet.

"Tie him up!" Mu Cheng said in a deep voice.

Bai Ling put down the lamp, then removed the third child's belt, pressed his hands on his back, and tied them to his ankles.

Mu Cheng on the other end had already used his arm as the axis, and quickly wrapped the lead on the ground around his left arm to find the source of the lead.

Bai Ling also quickly came over to help, but halfway through the entanglement, he suddenly realized that something was wrong-

Both ends of the lead are empty.

What's going on?

There was a slight but piercing "zi-" in the darkness, and a shadow flashed in the southwest corner, it was Lao Xu, who carried the tied third child on his shoulder, and was laughing and rushing towards the entrance of the cave.

"You're just here and waiting to die together, hahaha-uh!"

Lao Xu stumbled, he looked back, only to see that Bai Ling's short knife had flown out of his hand, and the knife was deeply sunk into his left shoulder.

And Mu Cheng's shadow has also appeared in front of him, and before Lao Xu can draw the knife himself, Mu Cheng has already held the handle of the knife first - only to hear Lao Xu's scream, and the splash of blood drew an arc on the wall.

Lao Xu lost his balance, and both he and the third fell heavily to the ground.

Mu Cheng pressed Lao Xu's whole person to the ground with his knee, and then slid the bloody short knife towards Bai Ling with his left hand.

"Stop! Where did the lead burn go! Let it stop now! Mu Cheng's voice was sharp and murderous, "Otherwise, I'll be nowβ€”"

"Then you can get out of the storeroom and have a look." Lao Xu's voice was a little weak, but he still had a little smile, "Don't delay here, the fuse is burning...... It's much faster than a human run. ”

Bai Ling quickly ran to the closed front door of the storeroom, which was locked from the outside.

"Songqing, get out of the way!"

Mu Cheng let out a loud shout, ran a few steps, and then roared and rushed towards the Kumen.

"Bang-"

The iron pivot on one side of the gate fell down, and a gap appeared at the junction between the wall and the door, and Mu Cheng quickly chased it out.

There was no light in the dark hallway, and he stopped and listened quietly to the movement around him for a while, but he could only hear the beating heart in his chest and his own breathing, but the sound of "z" never reappeared.

- until a spark suddenly flashed in front of him in the darkness.

"I saw it!" Mu Cheng rushed into the darkness.

In the warehouse, Lao Xu's right hand was pressed on his left shoulder to try to stop the bleeding, he lay on the ground and gasped, and then struggled to untie the third child on the side.

"Don't move." Bai Ling's voice came from behind him, and Lao Xu stopped.

He turned around, "...... Why, don't you catch up...... Are you not afraid of death? ”

Bai Ling held the short knife and squatted down in front of Lao Xu again.

"I have something to ask you."

……

In the deep warehouse corridor, Mu Cheng had already run dozens of steps after this lead, and this spark led Mu Cheng to continue to run deeper into this underground warehouse.

No matter how many lies Lao Xu told before, at least one thing he said was right.

The lead burns up, and it really runs much faster than a person.
