Chapter 15: The Edge of Doom (15) The Cannibalistic Wall
Mo Chen calmly analyzed, if someone or something terrible took the professor away, then Professor Wen would at least have a chance to make a brief sound, even if it was not a call for help.
Mo Chen picked up the torch on the ground, it was the one that Professor Wen held before, the torch was flat on the stairs in front of the iron door, the flame was still not extinguished, and occasionally crackled twice.
Torches lay flat......
Mo Chen suddenly thought that this torch should have been placed there by Professor Wen himself.
Otherwise, no matter how unexpected the situation happened to Professor Wen, in a hurry, the torch fell to the ground, either rolled down a few stairs, or fell crookedly to the side, in short, it would not be so smooth.
Mo Chen continued to think about it, and being able to get Professor Wen to put the torch aside would mean at least two things.
First, even without the light of a fire, Professor Wen could still see a place or something.
Second, Professor Wen must use his hands to do what he wants. This can be a big area, whether it's moving something or where you're climbing.
Thinking of this, Mo Chen stuck his two torches and the professor's two torches on the fence of the iron gate respectively, and freed his hands.
The two torches immediately resembled two bright lights, illuminating the inside and outside of the iron gate, and the firelight flickered.
When Mo Chen's gaze inadvertently swept over the boiler inside the iron door, he saw a figure in a trance and moved slightly.
"Who?" Mo Chen immediately snorted, he was sure that behind the boiler, there must be a person hiding, because at that moment just now, the firelight just happened to cast the long shadow of that person on the opposite wall.
The man didn't answer, but because of Mo Chen's shouting, he shrank back, and his shadow disappeared.
The so-called unknown is the most terrifying, Mo Chen took out the pliers that he had just found from downstairs from his waist defensively.
The pincers opened to hold the U-shaped part of the lock, and Mo Chen shouted inside, "Who is there?" Come out! Rest assured, I have no ill intentions. ”
Mo Chen promised the people hiding inside, but there was a drum in his heart, and the people who would deliberately hide themselves were not necessarily out of fear or fear, and there was another kind of person who would also hide in the dark, that is...... A villain with a malicious heart.
Mo Chen expressed his friendship to the other party, and also wanted to see what kind of person was hiding there.
After waiting for a while, the people inside still did not answer, let alone show up.
Mo Chen didn't want to continue wasting time, so he said to the people inside, "Okay! Since you don't want to come out, then I'll go look for you. ”
As he spoke, Mo Chen pinched the two tails of the pliers hard, and with a sharp effort, the lock snapped and broke in response.
Mo Chen threw the lock on the ground, but the pliers were still in his hand, as a weapon for self-defense in front of him.
With a creak, the iron door was opened by Mo Chen, and he shouted inside again, asking the other party to come out.
This time, before Mo Chen's words fell, he heard the sound of laughter coming from the inside of the boiler.
It seemed that this time the man seemed to be hesitating whether he should come out or not.
Just when Mo Chen's patience was finally exhausted, there were two rustling footsteps, and a weak figure slowly moved out from behind the boiler.
Mo Chen couldn't help but be stunned, he had several predictions in his mind, the appearance of the other party, and his "way of appearance".
never thought that the person who hid turned out to be a child.
The boy is not very old, only eight or nine years old, and has a ball head, which makes the whole person look naughty.
The appearance of this child made Mo Chen's heart suddenly soften, the city has become the miserable state it is now, and in terms of survival ability, the child is even more difficult.
Mo Chen leaned down, beckoned to the boy, and said softly, "Come, come here." ”
The boy stared timidly, his little hands pinched the corners of his clothes and rubbed them back and forth uneasily, but he stood still and did not move.
Mo Chen was a little unbearable, he cautiously approached the boy, for fear that the movement would be too big and would scare the boy.
Fortunately, the boy didn't move, just stared at him stunned, Mo Chen squatted in front of the boy, tentatively stretched out his hand, wrapped around the boy's waist, and the boy did not refuse.
"You're here alone?" Mo Chen asked.
The boy said weakly, "Mommy." ”
"What about your mother?" Mo Chen asked, looked left and right, and regretted asking a little in his heart.
A child will show up in the hospital, of course with a family member, and the child will appear healthy. Generally speaking, adults rarely take their children with them when they go to the hospital to see a doctor, on the one hand, they have no time to take care of them, and on the other hand, the hospital is not a clean place after all, and the children will not be brought if they can not go.
Thinking about it this way, Mo Chen guessed that the child's mother was likely to work in this hospital.
Just like many of us when we were young, we would occasionally be taken to work by our parents because there was no one to take care of them.
If it was really as Mo Chen thought, the child's mother was working here, then now his mother is likely to have suffered misfortune.
The boy shook his head, not knowing where his mother had gone, Mo Chen sighed, and asked again, "Why are you hiding here?" Is it playing hide and seek? ”
Fear suddenly rose into the boy's eyes, and he closed his mouth tightly and stopped talking.
What is the boy afraid of? Mo Chen suddenly thought that perhaps, this kid had unfortunately witnessed the sudden lesion of the Blood Demon infected.
Mo Chen gently stroked the boy's forehead and said softly, "Then are you willing to stay with your uncle for a while?" Uncle helps you find your mother. ”
The boy's eyes flashed wide, and he looked Mo Chen up and down, as if he was hesitating whether to go with this stranger.
After a long time, the boy nodded, and Mo Chen took his little hand and walked out of the iron gate.
After taking two steps, the boy was about to descend the stairs when he suddenly stared at the wall of the stairs and stopped.
Mo Chen asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”
The boy swooped around to Mo Chen's other side, as if he was afraid of the wall, he pointed weakly at the wall, and said, "That wall will eat people." ”
Cannibalism? Mo Chen chuckled in his heart, he didn't know why, the boy's words suddenly made him feel that this wall had something to do with Professor Wen's disappearance.
"Baby, have you seen anything?" Mo Chen asked softly, but he was very anxious in his heart, hoping that the boy would quickly tell what he knew.
The boy timidly said, "A grandfather, swallowed by it." After that, the boy buried his face in Mo Chen's waist, and even a glance at the wall would make him so frightened that he couldn't do it.
Grandfather? That must be talking about Professor Wen. Swallow it? Mo Chen thought, could it be that Professor Wen had just discovered the mechanism on this wall? So accidentally fell or fell into the wall?
Mo Chen gently touched the boy's head and whispered to the man, "Be good!" Don't be afraid, there's an uncle. You just stand behind your uncle and wait a while, and I'll be right away. Okay?! ”
