The road ahead was thorny and bumpy, but there was no turning back.

Anxiously waiting, but to no avail. The wheel of fate was spinning, and I leaned against the wall at the top of the staircase, not speaking.

Everyone waits for this hope to come, but sometimes it always comes too slowly.

"Why don't you speak." Cui Li waited impatiently.

"What can you talk about, can you unlock the mechanism in front of you?" Zhao Yuyu retorted.

After Cui Li was returned by Zhao Yuding, he stopped talking.

And so we went back to the silence we had before, and I looked at my watch at 12:15. Time doesn't slow down because of my anxiety.

"Do you think we've been discovered? They're just playing a trick on us. Cui Li continued.

"I don't think so. If they had already discovered us, why would they use any puzzle to trap us and just come and kill us one by one, wouldn't it be more time-saving and effort-saving? I said. I looked at some of the things in front of me, and these would never have been designed by the person who kidnapped Li Ruina. And the person who can design these puzzles must not be simple, except for Mr. Ouyang Yu, I really can't think of a second suitable person. However, this should be unlikely, Mr. Ouyang Yu and Mr. Jack are good friends, and he will never help the opponent of the company to design the security system. But if it weren't for Mr. Ouyang Yu, who would it be?

One puzzle after another came rushing to our faces, so we didn't have time to think, and the most important thing now was to solve the mechanism in front of us first.

"That's weird, if it's not the person who kidnapped Li Ruina, who would it be? Who would be bored enough to design these traps to trap us? Zhao Haoyu asked.

"I don't know, I'm afraid it's not that simple, let's care about the mechanism in front of us first." I turned everyone's attention back to the mechanism.

"Cheng Yin, you said that this organ is fine, but as soon as you say this agency, I have a headache." Cui Li said helplessly.

Cui Li is right, we have an automatic rifle in front of us, and just one bullet can kill us, no matter who we are, it will be a headache.

"So we're just going to wait? I don't know if there's a way to unlock the mechanism in that book. Zhao Yuyu looked at us and asked.

Lin Yun looked at the "Don Quixote" seriously, and did not say a word, all her attention was now on the "Don Quixote", and our conversation did not seem to affect her in the slightest.

"That's right!! How did I forget this!! At this time, Cui Li put down the backpack in his hand and carefully searched for something. I saw him keep rummaging through his backpack, and finally took out a bundle of rope from the inside of the backpack.

"This is a rope for mountain climbing, right?" Zhao Haoyu asked.

"I knew I would encounter some difficulties, so I brought my family's mountaineering equipment with me, but I didn't expect to be able to use it now." Cui Li said proudly. It seems that this is the best way for him to suddenly think of it.

The rope is sturdy and there is an iron hook on top of it that can be used to grasp the rocks.

"Cui Li, what do you want?" I picked up his rope and looked at it.

This rope looks like it's custom-made and has a lot more tension than some other ropes, so you can throw it far even if you throw it lightly.

"It's easy, just use my rope to lasso that automatic rifle and we'll be able to get out of here with ease." Cui Li said confidently.

"Just you?" Zhao Yuyu obviously didn't believe that Cui Li could do it.

"Don't underestimate me, just wait for my good news." Cui Li stood at the top of the stairs and turned the rope in his hand. It's like a picture from a western movie.

Cui Li aimed for a long time, and finally threw it hard, heading towards the automatic rifle. However, because the distance was not well controlled, the rope did not touch the automatic rifle.

Cui Li retracted the rope forcefully, then adjusted his position, and then carefully observed the automatic rifle, turned the rope, and threw it out again, but this time the force used was too great, and the rope quickly crossed the automatic rifle and fell behind it.

……

In this way, Cui Li tried many times alone, but either he didn't touch it, or he was still far away, and only once he barely touched the automatic rifle, but the iron hook didn't catch the position, and he still returned in vain.

"Hahaha, Cui Li, this is the good news you said, I think it's useless for you to practice for a few years, right?" Zhao Yuyu laughed.

Cui Li embarrassedly withdrew the rope in his hand and threw it on the ground.

"What rope, it must be of bad quality, so I didn't hit it."

Zhao Yuyu walked over, picked up the rope on the ground and said: "The material of this rope is good, but it's a pity that some people don't know how to use it, and it's really funny that the quality of the rope is not good here." ”

Cui Li looked at Zhao Yuyu, who was laughing at him, unconvinced, and said, "You are amazing, you come, don't just pretend to be on the side." ”

"I'll come, I'll come, you see!" Zhao Yuyu came to the staircase with the bundle of ropes.

But instead of being like Cui Li, she stretched out her arm, visually checked the distance between the automatic rifle and herself, and then weighed the weight of the rope with her hand.

"Sure enough, I like to pretend, hurry up if you want to throw it, don't waste time here, I don't think you can throw it away?" Cui Li said mockingly.

However, Zhao Yuyu ignored Cui Li's words, but carefully confirmed the situation in front of him.

"Cui Li, don't speak, you will affect Zhao Miyu like this." I stopped.

"What, I think it's her..."Cui Li just wanted to say something, but was stopped by my eyes.

Zhao Yuyu confirmed the specific information many times, and looked very serious.

June 2, 2022 at 12:21 p.m

After all the information was confirmed, Zhao Yuyu suddenly took a few steps back, then ran a few steps forward, threw it hard, and the rope drew an arc in the air. Heading towards the automatic rifle.

Our eyes are all on the rope, and it's up to us whether our chance will arise this time. Cui Li's eyes were wide open, how much he hoped that Zhao Haoyu could succeed this time, but at the same time, he didn't want her to succeed at once. At this time, he must have been very conflicted. Just as we were staring at the rope, there was only one person who didn't even raise his head, still looking at the book in his hand seriously, and that person was Lin Yun.
