Chapter 56: Closed
Ding Qi saw this formation, reached out and grabbed the two of us and entered the small door, turned his back and locked the door in an instant.
He smiled wryly and shook his head at us and said, "This group of people is so terrible, I can't parry it, and I can't deal with it." β
Listening to the banging of the door outside, I frowned, if this continues, the family of the deceased will not be comforted, and the matter will get bigger and bigger. At this time, I suddenly remembered one thing, "The front and back doors are blocked, does that mean we can't get out?" β
Ding Qi nodded: "That's right." We'd better stay here until tomorrow when my boss comes over, or when the crowd outside disperses. β
Looking at the posture of the group of people outside, if a person comes out of the company building, it is estimated that they will be tied up instantly, after all, in their eyes, we and Peng are together. But if we don't get out, we will be imprisoned in this building by them in disguise.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a chill. This business is really disgusting, and now not only has the matter not been resolved, but it has caused a lot of trouble for himself.
Ma Ming seemed to know what I was thinking, he patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Haha, tomorrow I will find Peng Zheng to ask for a surprise fee, it's not okay if it's less." β
The hall on the first floor was no longer able to live, and the three of us went back to pack our things. The group of people outside saw us through the glass, slammed the door, and shouted for our boss to come out.
Ding Qi couldn't stand it anymore, he went over and yelled that the boss would only come back tomorrow after a business trip, so he closed all the curtains, separating the sight of the group of people outside, and the people outside slowly quieted down after scolding a few words.
Taking advantage of the gap to move things upstairs, I quietly asked Ma Ming: "Brother Ma, why don't we do this?" Peng Zheng doesn't know what else he did besides the incident outside, if he turns around and puts the two of us in, it'll be over......"
Ma Ming sighed and said that it was too late to get out now.
I was puzzled and asked him why.
Ma Ming said: "Those who do our business, as long as they take the order, under the condition of not threatening their own lives, they have to try their best to solve it for the gold owner, and come to the end of this cause and effect, otherwise it will be a long life, and now that you are working under me, you must also pay attention to this aspect." β
As he was talking, we had reached the second floor, Ma Ming threw the things in his hand to the wall, turned around and looked me in the eyes, and continued: "Let's put aside the professional ethics first, do you think Peng Zheng will allow us to go now?" Even if we don't say goodbye, with Peng Zheng's means and power, wouldn't it be easy to find out the two of us, do we still want to mix here? And Ma Wen, there is a great possibility that we are being targeted at the moment, and here in Peng Zheng, that person may still be jealous. β
Listening to Ma Ming's words, my heart suddenly sank, especially Ma Wen's matter, which has always been a big stone on my heart.
I was packing up my things and secretly thinking about whether I could ask Peng Zheng to help find that person if I helped Peng Zheng solve the problem this time, and we had some clues about that person later.
I was thinking about it when I suddenly heard Ma Ming ask me to put my sleeping bag in Peng Zheng's office on the second floor.
"Last time, Ma Wen said that she felt a terrifying existence inside, and we will sleep there tonight." Ma Ming explained to me.
Ding Qi also turned his head when he asked, but Ma Ming asked him to sleep in the hall and guard, in case something happened in the office, he would have a response outside.
When everything was cleaned up, it was completely dark. The three of us went to the power distribution room to check the electrical circuits of the office building and confirm that the circuits were normal. I also put the flashlight next to the sleeping bag in case of a sudden power outage.
We casually ate some snacks we bought at the supermarket yesterday and drank a glass of milk prepared by Ding Qi in advance, and then planned to go to sleep. Before going to bed, I put the bottle containing Ma Wen next to my pillow and let Ma Wen out. Let her go to the hall outside to keep an eye on Ding Qi to see if Ding Qi has any unusual behavior that night.
I went to the window and looked downstairs, the crowd had dispersed, and there were still two or three people waiting, looking at their backs, I recognized one of them as the one holding the whiteboard today, that is, the fiancΓ© of the female employee.
I sighed, closed the curtains, and prepared to sleep, life is not easy, everyone has their own difficulties.
For some reason, my eyelids were so heavy today that I fell asleep as soon as I was next to the pillow.
At night, I felt a little cold in the haze, so I reached out and grabbed it, but I didn't catch the quilt, and it was cold in my hand. I muttered a few words, rolled over, but I felt difficult to breathe, and then choked on a few mouthfuls of water, and I sat up violently and coughed violently.
After such a fuss, I woke up completely, but my head hurt a little. At this time, I found that I was sitting in the water, and the water was only very shallow, and my hand could not reach through my wrist.
It's just that it doesn't seem to be water, but a sticky liquid, and there is a fishy smell in the air.
I stood up and found myself in a pool about five meters in diameter, the liquid in which the liquid was just below the soles of my feet, and a transparent shroud above my head that allowed me to see through the moonlight.
I saw a black mass two meters away from me, like a person.
I was uncertain and shouted, "Ma Ming, is that you?" β
The figure flickered, then fell silent again.
I cautiously walked over and found that it was indeed Ma Ming. I hurriedly patted him on the face to wake him up.
But at this moment, suddenly water dripped from the top of my head, and it fell all over my body like rain.
Unsure if anything would happen, I dragged Ma Ming's arm and tried to take him to a corner.
As soon as he dragged him two steps, the horse moved, he coughed twice, and then grabbed my wrist violently, he was extremely powerful, and I was in pain like iron tongs, and a strong force carried me down, I stumbled a little, and almost fell to the ground,
"Ma Ming!"
Hearing me call him, Ma Ming let go of his grip on me, and he said embarrassedly: "I thought someone was going to treat me badly." β
Suddenly, he cursed in a low voice and touched the water: "What is this, why is it slimy?" And what's falling from the top of your head, why does it smell so bad, where are we? β
Ma Ming woke up, and I relaxed, after all, this big guy is well-informed and can take me out.
I replied, "I don't know, we were here just when I woke up, and I called you for a while, but you didn't wake up, so I wanted to take you to the corner first." β
Ma Ming stood up from the ground, he was halfway up, and suddenly said, "That's not right! β
I hurriedly asked him what was wrong, and he said there was no water in the pool.
I rolled my eyes, isn't that nonsense. "I'm not stupid, of course I know it's not water."
Ma Ming grabbed another handful from the water, looked carefully at the moonlight, looked down and sniffed it again, and said, "This is blood." β
I was startled, and suddenly felt a little scared, such a big pool, although it is only a shallow layer, how many people's blood must be this! The thought of me lying here just now, covered in blood from who I don't know, and how many corpses there might be around, made me feel sick to my stomach, and even felt that the smell in the air was even more unbearable.
Ma Ming said to me again: "Don't panic, this is not human blood. β
"Big brother, can you finish talking in one breath, don't pant so much, it will scare people to death." I grumbled.
"It's supposed to be chicken blood, and it's been diluted with water, and you see there's some chicken feathers here."
Ma Ming stretched out his hand in front of me, and sure enough, there was a chicken feather, which looked black in the moonlight.
I asked, "So what is this man trying to do by putting us in this place?" β
Ma Ming shook his head and said he didn't know, he suddenly thought of something, and turned his head to look at me: "What about Ma Wen?" β
I patted my head and forgot about Ma Wen, I shouted twice into the open area, without the slightest response, Ma Wen is not here.
It stands to reason that Ma Wen is by my side, and if there is any situation, I should wake me up, but I haven't seen her until now, will something happen to me?
I hurriedly grabbed Ma Ming and said to him, "We have to get out of here quickly." β
Ma Ming and I lifted our trouser legs and walked towards the pool. After only two steps, I "banged" into something, and I felt that my nose bleeded out.
Ma Ming was a step behind me, and he stopped in time to ask me what was wrong.
I covered my nose and said sullenly, "It hurts Lao Tzu, there is something in front of here, like a wall." β
Ma Ming stretched out his hand, groped for two steps, and sure enough, he touched a wall. He clasped it with his index finger, looked closer, and then said, "This is not a wall, this is a piece of glass, it's too dark here, we can't see normal." β
Glass? I looked up at the transparent roof, which was almost three meters high, and secretly smacked my tongue in my heart, this person who brought us here is really a big deal.
"Look at the glass over there." Ma Ming pointed to the open space next to my right hand, and he reached out and touched it in the opposite direction.
We each fumbled to one side and ended up bumping into each other again.
Ma Ming said in a deep voice: "This is a circle, a closed circle. β
I was a little dumbfounded: "Then how do we get out, I also touched the top just now, it's all glass." β
Ma Ming thought for a while, suddenly squatted down, and said to me, "You come up, stand on my back, and see if there is anything closed on it." β
So I stepped on Ma Ming's shoulder, and he lifted me up and walked slowly along the circular glass wall.
After walking a circle, my heart sank: "The top is also closed." β
