Chapter 35: Night Detective
Hearing the door next to him closed, Lu Wei's voice sounded outside again: "Su, open the door"
Opening the door, Su Man let Lu Wei in.
I saw Su Man's hair sticking to his body wet, wrapped in a bath towel and barefoot.
Lu Wei turned his head slightly: "Are you taking a bath?" β
Seeing that it didn't seem appropriate for him to do this, Su Man hurriedly turned around and picked up a piece of clothing that he had thrown on the bed when he left the space before.
Seeing Su Man put on his clothes, Lu Wei hurriedly asked, "What's wrong just now?" β
"Don't mention it, I accidentally fell asleep in the shower just now, but I woke up and found it dark, and I had a flashlight with me when I went in."
"Is there no power?"
"I thought so at first, but when I went to touch the flashlight, I actually felt a pair of cold hands, which scared me to death, so I shouted out, but when you slammed the door, I shone the flashlight again, and found nothing."
"So weird? You're not hurt, are you? β
"No, but it's really weird, I'll just say that the old man has a problem! There must be something wrong with this house as well. β
At first, Su Man suspected that there was something wrong with the old man, but he didn't see any unusual behavior from him for a long time, so he thought that he was really suspicious?
Now Su Man is sure that his instincts are right.
It's just that we don't know exactly what the problem is.
"Why don't I stay with you?"
"No, go to sleep! Don't make everyone lose their spirits, I'll squint for a while tomorrow when we leave, and you'll have to keep an eye on the road for nothing. β
"But what happens again?"
"It's okay, it's a big deal, I won't fall asleep, although I touch that hand, although it's cold, it doesn't look like a zombie, and even the skin is relatively smooth and tender like a woman's hand, I'm just vigilant."
"Oh well! If something is shouted, I will hear it. β
"An-la! Ann! β
persuaded Lu Wei away, Su Man sat on the princess bed and communicated with Xiao Ling.
"Xiao Ling, did you feel anything just now?"
"Master, although Xiao Ling feels a faint dark energy, it is definitely a creature."
"That means it's definitely not a zombie, but how did it suddenly appear and disappear?" Su Man said it to Xiao Ling, and he also said it to himself.
"Do you want to go and see it again, master?"
"To be honest, I'm a little scared, I've never experienced anything weird like this." Su Man said a little embarrassed.
"Master, there are more and more terrifying things that may happen along the way in the future, how can you survive if the master keeps retreating?"
Su Man bowed his head: Xiao Ling is right, he has hardly fought alone since the end of the world, and every time he uses the good conditions he has to deal with it, he has not really made his heart strong.
His own abilities have never been used in front of everyone, although there is a certain reason why he can't trust others, but he is indeed always hiding behind others, and the danger can almost be reduced to a negative number.
It's okay to be cautious, but if you're too cautious and don't want to get in the dark? If this really continues, how can you become a dependant of family and friends in the future?
When Su Man lowered her head and thought about it, Xiao Ling didn't bother her: the master's qualifications are very good, and even the unfulfilled wish of the previous master may be touched by this little master, but his mind really needs more tempering.
Su Man clenched his fists after thinking about it: today he is the only one, he can use all his abilities, and he must overcome his own problem of always wanting to rely on others and fear all dangers.
"Xiaoling, help me keep an eye on the movement, I'll go over and take a look."
"Good master, don't worry! Anyway, if it really doesn't work, you can go back to space. β
"Xiaoling, I've thought about it, I can't always rely on entering the space or something, this is now my own person who wants to leave and stay, but if I am with friends and family in the future, I don't have real combat experience, I don't have a strong heart, I may be used to escaping and abandon them and run away by myself, then I'm afraid I will live in self-blame for the rest of my life."
Su Man's determined tone moved Xiao Ling very much: Master, you really figured it out, but now that you are not fully mature, Xiao Ling will definitely protect you.
However, Xiao Ling didn't say these words, she also hoped that Su Man, the little master, would grow up.
After Su Man put on his clothes neatly, he turned up the power of the flashlight and went into the bathroom.
Coming to the position next to the bathtub, Su Man carefully studied the surroundings, but did not find anything strange.
Walking around the bathtub, when I stepped under an oil painting, I made a "knock knock" sound under my feet, squatted down and knocked, and sure enough, the sound made in this place was different from other places.
After touching around for a long time, there was nothing, and the oil painting also moved, but there was still no response.
Suddenly thinking that the hands were in the bathtub before, Su Man had an inspiration, walked over and shone a flashlight on the bathtub, and didn't find anything strange.
Rubbing his hand back and forth, he suddenly felt a corner near the edge of the marble that was not quite the same as the others.
The flashlight moved to the place, and found that the color was the same and looked directly with the eyes, especially in such a dim light, and I couldn't see anything at all, so I pressed down the corner of the feeling with my finger.
Huh? No response?
Su Man was very disappointed, thinking that he had found it, and pressed it a few times but there was no response, so Su Man stood up in frustration.
When I stood up, because I had just washed my hair, and now I didn't have a hair dryer and couldn't have light like in the space, so I wrapped it in a towel, and I was afraid that the towel would fall apart when I moved, so I fixed it on the edge with a pin.
At this time, when he stood up, the pin hooked the hanging light veil, Su Man turned his head and found that his head was hooked, and he heard a soft "pop" under his feet, if it wasn't for such a quiet time, he wouldn't have heard it at all.
Su Man simply untied the towel and scattered his hair, squatting down to check.
Finding that a large piece protruded from the place where he pressed before, Su Man pulled it out, and vaguely heard movement on the side of the oil painting.
Belch...... It turned out to be pulled outward.
Su Man was speechless, no wonder he didn't react for a long time.
Getting the towel off the light gauze curtain and wrapping the wet hair, Su Man took the flashlight and searched over there.
The exposed place is high for one person, but it is not a tunnel, but a staircase that extends upwards. Su Man checked it, and there were obviously footprints that had just fallen on the dust below, along the top of the staircase.
Su Man shifted the flashlight to his left hand, and with his right hand, he used his ability to find it.
Walking to the top and finding that the exit at the top was closed, Su Man shone in the corridor for a long time, and touched it again but couldn't find the switch.
Do you have to go back in vain? But I've found it all.
No, you can't waste all your efforts.
In other words, isn't this three floors up?
Su Man suddenly thought of the old man's instructions when he arranged the room before.
Didn't he say that the third floor should not come up, that it was the bedroom of the former owner's family, and he wanted to keep it for the former owner? Although it is understandable on the surface, this statement is actually a bit far-fetched.
Su Man fumbled for a while, and there was really no way to open the passage, so he decided to go up the third floor from the stairs.
Since he was going out, it would be bad if he bumped into someone else, so Su Man went back to the room where he lived and put on his camouflage suit.
Gently opened the door, because Su Man lived in the innermost part of the three-story staircase, so Su Man went out and crept directly onto the three-story staircase.
On the third floor, Su Man thought about which room he lived in, and after comparing the location, Su Man locked the two rooms.
As we approached the first room, there was a "click" of footsteps in the hallway in the distance.
Su Man turned off the flashlight and died nervously, because the doors of each room were very luxurious, and they were all wrapped with large reserved edges, so Su Man held his breath and stuck to a door.
The footsteps slowly approached, Su Man stepped back nervously, leaned against the door, the door opened silently, and Su Man shook into the room at once.
"Woohoo"
Su Man turned his head when he heard the voice, and found that he couldn't see anything, it was also a pasted window, and no light could be seen at all, but Su Man heard the voice like a human.
Gently closing the door, Su Man twisted the flashlight away from the smallest light and shone it in.
Several women who were tied up, their mouths were gagged and their eyes were also blindfolded, and only the occasional whining sound came out of their mouths.
Just about to untie one of them, he suddenly heard a knock on the door, Su Man hurriedly turned off the flashlight and hid in the corner of the shadows and squatted down next to the cabinet.
"Which one should I choose today?" A voice rang out.
Su Man's heart moved: This voice was clearly the voice of the old man.
When the women heard the old man's words, their whole bodies trembled.
The old man used the faint light of the candle to look left and right, and finally stopped at a woman: "Well, it's you." β
Placing the candlestick next to him, he began to untie the woman's rope, untying it for a while and pinching it in his hand.
Su Man saw that each of these women had tied a rope, tied it tightly by hand around their necks, and then tied it with rope locks to tie each person together in a separate place.
After being fixed in this way, no one can move with force, otherwise the rope on it will tighten their necks and suffocate to death, let alone escape.
Su Man narrowed his eyes, this old man is really ruthless, but what does he want so many women for?
Seeing that the old man was dragging the woman out, Su Man waited until the door was closed and followed, and saw the old man dragging the woman forward in the direction he had come from.
After a while, he came to a room and stopped, pushed the door in, and the moment he pushed the door open, Su Man heard a "roar" sound, and a strong smell of blood wafted into Su Man's nose.
Seeing that the door had been closed, Su Man quietly followed, I don't know if the sound insulation effect inside was too good, when the door was closed, the corridor became quiet again, and no sound could be heard at all.
However, the previous "roar" sound, Su Man is really familiar with it, is this old man ......?
ββββββββββI'm the dividing line of Qingyunββββββββββ
Xiaoxiao applied for the Qingyun List before, but he didn't expect to be on the list so soon, and he also expressed his support to everyone.
Recently, Xiaoxiao has fallen into a strange circle, and the story has more and more branches on the road, and Xiaoxiao really wants to say: Theme! I was wrong, you should run back quickly!
Of course, it's also because of the need for coherence.,But I don't know if you like it? Xiaoxiao found that Mu has been encouraged recently?
