Chapter 169: The Elephant's Chains

Qian Mingwen and I agreed on a plan, he was the bait, this plan was so dangerous that he lost everything if he was not careful.

After we were sure, we came back the way we came, gently brushed away the camouflage, and I looked down to see that the building was silent. I took a deep breath: "Old Qian, I'll go to the first floor to ambush first, and the rest is up to you." ”

Qian Mingwen took off the urn he was carrying behind him and gave it to me: "Brother, if I can't go back, you can take this urn and go back, and use it for your wife as soon as possible." ”

We shook hands, a bit of a wind and a cold water.

I cautiously climbed down the edge, holding the iron bar with both hands, and my whole body slowly hung in the air, and I jumped and landed on the platform.

I was so sore that I could barely endure it for a while, and I limped up and went down the stairs silently, in a deathly silence all around, and God knows where Little Red Riding Hood was hiding.

As soon as I walked to the second floor, I heard the sound of Qian Mingwen laughing "haha" from the fourth floor, and my heart sank, this was Lao Qian's deliberate voice to attract Little Red Riding Hood to take the bait.

I quickened my pace and came to the first floor, followed the corridor to the toilet door at the end, and looked around, there was an empty room opposite the toilet, it was very dark inside, I got into it, hid in the corner, and waited quietly for them.

Time passed minute by minute, no footsteps could be heard outside, I didn't know where Lao Qian and Little Red Riding Hood were, where they had progressed, I could only wait here.

I was extremely anxious, my gums were itching, my breathing was getting shorter and shorter, and the waiting was really uncomfortable.

Where the hell have they gone, and why haven't they come yet? The longer I wait, the more negative thoughts I have in my head, and the worst is that Qian Mingwen lets Little Red Riding Hood kill it, and the game is over, even so, I can get out.

Thinking about it this way, my mood slowly calmed down, in this life-and-death gamble, for now, I should be the safe one.

Just thinking about it, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps, I lay in the dark door and looked out, in front of me was indeed Qian Mingwen, he was running for his life, and the person behind was Little Red Riding Hood, the bright pointed hat was extremely conspicuous, and he was chasing a few steps away, holding a bright long knife in his hand.

Qian Mingwen came to the toilet door, pushed the door in, and soon Little Red Riding Hood chased after him, he stood outside the toilet door panting, a little hesitant, not daring to go in.

Little Red Riding Hood wandered extremely much, the toilet was his most painful memory, and Qian Mingwen was the last goal of his cultivation, and it could be seen that Little Red Riding Hood was struggling to the extreme.

While he was hesitating, I slowly came out of the room, aimed at his back, and slammed into the air: "Fuck you, go in!" ”

Little Red Riding Hood was completely unaware that someone was behind him and had been kicked into the toilet.

He screamed, and I dared to follow him into the bathroom, where Little Red Riding Hood was holding her head and shouting. Qian Mingwen dodged sideways, and the two of us stood at the door of the toilet, looking at the painful Little Red Riding Hood.

Little Red Riding Hood held his head, his facial features were distorted, even if he was in pain like this, he still had no expression, and the whole person seemed to be wearing an extremely distorted human skin mask, which made me feel cold.

I trembled and said to Qian Mingwen, "How can his face be like this? ”

Qian Mingwen wiped the sweat from his head: "This is the result of extreme depression. No matter how painful he is, he doesn't want to reflect his true emotions on his face, and he doesn't want anyone to see it, which is a sign of extreme insecurity. He doesn't trust anyone. ”

I looked at him: "Just like you." ”

The corners of Qian Mingwen's mouth twitched: "Maybe, maybe we are the same kind of people." ”

Little Red Riding Hood suddenly stood up, knife in hand, and was about to come at us. I was shocked and swept the toilet around to see if there was anything to do. Qian Mingwen was also a little scared, he took a step back, and at this critical juncture, he suddenly made a move that surprised me extremely - he pulled out his trouser belt.

He said to Little Red Riding Hood, "Nephew, I am your uncle Jianguo, come, let me tie you up." ”

Little Red Riding Hood stared at him blankly, and I couldn't figure out what he was going to do. Little Red Riding Hood held a knife, trembling all over, and Qian Mingwen held the belt of his trousers and stared at him tightly.

In the toilet, none of us spoke, but the atmosphere was tense to the point of needle-to-needle, and the air was deadly silent.

Qian Mingwen took a deep breath, and the first one to move, he threw the belt on the ground and said coldly: "Tie yourself up, don't let me do it." ”

Little Red Riding Hood trembled so badly that he suddenly lowered his head, threw the knife on the ground, then knelt down, very obediently tied his hands with a belt, and slowly walked into a toilet room.

I glanced at Qian Mingwen, and at this moment of life and death, Little Red Riding Hood made his own choice, and he gave up resistance.

If he came over with a knife, Qian Mingwen and I wouldn't be able to run away at all, and we would definitely die, but he chose to give up resistance. I heard a similar story about the fire that burned down the circus, and the next day when everyone came to check on it, they found that an elephant had been burned to death. In fact, the elephant can not die at all, as long as he breaks free from the chains the thickness of his little finger, he can escape the fire and go outside. But it was this little chain that tied it. Some people say that an elephant weighs a thousand pounds, and its small chains are thinner than its little fingers, and it can escape as soon as it lifts its feet. An old man came out and explained that he was the keeper of the elephant, and he told everyone that the elephant was chained by this chain when he was a baby elephant, and that it had struggled at that time, but at that time its strength was still small, and its feet were worn out and it hurt. After a long time, it did not dare to resist, until it grew bigger and bigger, and its strength was infinite, but the painful memory of the hour was rooted in its subconscious, and it did not know how to resist at all, even if it was burned by fire, it could not break free from this chain.

The toilet was violated by his own uncle, which became the most difficult psychological difficulty for Little Red Riding Hood to overcome in her life. His guts and courage could have slaughtered four people, but he couldn't break free from a chain thinner than a little finger.

Qian Mingwen squeezed out a few words from his throat: "Stockholm syndrome." ”

We walked to the entrance of the single room and looked inside, and it was squatting, filthy everywhere, used toilet paper was all over the floor, and flies were buzzing.

The other rooms are clean, but this place is dirty and smelly, and this place is Little Red Riding Hood's psychological world. This dirty single room may be some kind of metaphor, or it may be a reproduction of the original scene at that time.

Little Red Riding Hood was lying on the dirty wall, his face turned sideways, and he could see that his eyes were full of tears of humiliation, but they did not fall, they kept spinning.

I handed the knife I picked up to Qian Mingwen: "Old Qian, kill him, the game is over, everything is over." Little Red Riding Hood is dead and will not threaten you again. ”

Qian Mingwen took the knife and looked at Little Red Riding Hood, he remained motionless for a long time, and raised his head to look at me: "Brother." ”

The first time I saw Qian Mingwen crying.

"Brother, if you don't come, I really can't do it. After all, he's my brother! Qian Mingwen handed me back the knife.

I can't carry this pot, and shook my head: "Old Qian, this is the only chance, either you kill him, and we will be a hundred, or we will have to kill you when the time comes." It's up to you to weigh what is more important, and no one is making that decision for you. ”

Qian Mingwen gritted his teeth, clenched the long knife, and took a step forward, he shook his head painfully: "I can't do it." ”

He picked up the knife, put it on Little Red Riding Hood's neck, and said tremblingly, "Brother, let it go, let it go to get a new life." If you can't let go of the evil ghosts that you have been reincarnated for many lifetimes and become something, it will still be painful. Put it down......"

Little Red Riding Hood looked back at him, smiled, and vanished into thin air.

It was just me and Qian Mingwen in the toilet.

We were stunned, and suddenly there was a fog in front of me, my mind was dizzy, everything was gone, and the whole feeling could not be described, as if I wanted to wake up without waking up.

I opened my eyes suddenly, and found that I was lying in an abandoned brick house, and for a minute after I opened my eyes, I thought I was in the toilet, and only after the environment in front of me was restored did I confirm that it was not, it was a strange room.

I quickly got up and saw that the room was small and empty, and on the ground in the middle of the room, there were a bunch of saucers and plates, in which were some fragments of chicken, duck and fish, and an incense burner, with long incense sticks in it, and a few candles or something, as if someone had sacrificed here. The room was extremely dim, and at first glance it was a bit chilling.

I saw Qian Mingwen who was unconscious next to me and patted him in the face. There was a broken dish next to Lao Qian, and there was a large piece of blood stained in the saucer, and there was blood on the ground.

It took a long time for Qian Mingwen to open his eyes, he rolled over and got up, was stunned for a while, and immediately reacted: "Are we back?" ”

I nodded and told him it should be.

We helped each other out of the house, outside was the dusky sky, the grass grew warblers flying, the yellow leaves fell to the ground, the autumn breeze was blowing, but the air was very fresh, and it was completely different from the ghost realm just now.

"We're back, we're back." I say.

It's a barren place, and in the middle of nowhere, there are a few tattered brick bungalows here, and you can't see where they are.

Qian Mingwen and I went back to the house, looking at the offerings and sacrificial items on the ground, Qian Mingwen said, "We should have been caught by Little Red Riding Hood, and now he has run away." ”
