Chapter Seventy-Three: Self-defeating
I pricked up my ears and listened to the footsteps outside, which were noisy, and after a pause at the toilet door, they divided into some people to continue chasing after them, and the other part went into the toilet.
But listening to the footsteps far away from us, probably the men's toilet first, I tapped the wooden plank of the cubicle with my fingers, and told Dongfang if we should quietly go out behind them now.
Dongfang didn't respond, probably disagreeing with my idea, but after missing this opportunity, everything is unknown.
Waiting, I heard the sound of the men's bathroom, it was supposed that they were checking the cubicles one by one, mixed with a few insults.
But after all, they are all men, and if they see it, they will see it, if they come to the women's bathroom!?
Thinking like this, I heard those footsteps coming out of the men's toilet one after another, but they didn't disappear, as if I was hesitating to go into the women's toilet to find it?
I prayed in my heart that they would not come in, but it backfired, and they finally came in, but when I knocked on the first compartment, I heard a woman's scream, but this sound seemed to be a brief beginning, and it seemed to make them free to open the rest of the cubicles one by one.
It mingled with the voices of the women, and the thud of them as they kicked open the wooden door, and it was getting closer and closer to us.
I don't know exactly how many people they came in, but when I looked through the door of the cubicle, I suddenly noticed that there was another person next to me.
It was supposed to be a woman, she was wearing a pair of red high heels, but strangely ignored the sounds outside, and didn't react at all.
Soon, I saw a few feet coming from a distance under the door, and when they stopped next to me, with a bang, the woman sat up suddenly, scolded a pervert, and then the wooden door was closed again.
But in front of the woman's compartment, the men stopped and stopped looking. I saw their footsteps stop in front of the woman's cubicle from the bottom of the door, and I didn't know what had just happened, because I hadn't heard anything but the woman's voice, and I didn't know what was so special about this woman to them.
"I think we'd better not look for it, this is already the third slap, or you will kick the door next time!" A young man said this, as if he had been kicking the door just now.
The other person was also a little hesitant, "Then why don't we go find someone else first, or stay here, if he is really here, he may not come out for the rest of his life!" ”
"Good!" A few people agreed, and then began to walk out the door one after another, but just as I was rejoicing, my phone suddenly rang.
At this time, I didn't expect the phone to ring suddenly, and when I hurriedly touched the phone, I also found that those people had stopped and were about to leave.
But at this time, the woman's voice suddenly came from next to me, "Don't play with your mobile phone in the toilet, you have to listen, be careful of falling in!" ”
With that, she got up and left, and with the sound of the wooden door being shut, I heard the woman say to the men outside, "The man you are looking for is inside!" ”
I was confused by the woman's words, but just as I was about to get up, when I came out of the cubicle, I accidentally skimmed the ground, and I don't know when there was an extra paper bag.
The paper bag appeared under the wooden board in the compartment between me and the woman, and she had left it for me.
But who is this person, do I know her? Why did she know I was here and leave something for me?
With that in mind, I picked up the paper bag and stuffed it into my pocket.
But before they could kick open the door of my compartment, the door to the east was pushed open, and he leaped and rushed through it.
Seeing this, I didn't want to sit still, so I slammed open the door, looked at a person next to me, grabbed him, and pulled back.
But at this moment, I felt a cold in my back, and in an instant, the pores of my whole body were shrinking, and then an electric current rushed along my neck and changed my whole body, making my body light and unconscious.
Someone must have been electrifying me with a stun gun or something behind me just now, but before I fell unconscious, I didn't try to turn back like Dongfang did to see who was plotting against me behind me.
I subconsciously put my hand in my pocket, the paper bag, I don't know what it contains, if it is searched by those people, I don't want to know what it is.
I didn't know what it was going to be, like I didn't know the last time I called, the person who answered the phone was there, but he seemed to be able to see my every move.
I thought the woman was related to the person on the other end of the phone, to the person who looked the same as me, but then I dismissed the idea.
As I thought about it, I was in the dark, with a mask over my head, and from the moment I woke up, I was remembering everything before, the woman, the phone, and even thinking for a moment that the damn ringing was coming from the woman.
But why did she harm me? No, maybe she didn't want to hurt me, but for some reason she had to come here?
The contents of that paper bag may be the answer, but more than that, I want to find my phone and see what the hell it was at the time, and make this deadly call to me at this time.
But now, not to mention trying to find the paper bag, I don't even know where the phone is, my body is fixed in the dark, and I can't see anything in front of me.
I couldn't get used to the darkness, and I called Dongfang by name and hoped that he would still be with me, but no one answered.
I waited for a long time, which reminded me of the murderer I met when I was in Yunnan, but unlike the last time, I didn't scold, maybe I didn't feel that mood, and I didn't feel that necessary.
If these people's purpose is to get the file, it's not that I'm begging them to let me go, it's that they're begging me to hand it over.
Only I know what is recorded in the blank file, so they can only gain from asking me.
Thinking about it this way, I don't have anything to worry about, but the wait is long, and I don't know what happened to Dongfang now.
He didn't know anything about the file, but they didn't know, so what if they asked him first, would he do something out of the ordinary if he didn't say it?
I don't know how long I've been waiting, and I don't have any idea of time, except that when someone took off my mask, I saw three men in black sitting in front of me.
Illuminated by the sudden light around me, I squinted my eyes and let myself get used to the light, before I could see the three of them and the place I was.
I was tied to a chair with a table in front of me, and a plastic bag was placed on each table, as if they had just put it on.
This kind of small room is a bit like an interrogation room in a police station, and after the three of them were seated in front of me, a man with a mustache was the first to speak.
"What we ask, what you answer, and after answering, you and your friends can go."
I smiled coldly, "It depends on what you ask, if you ask me what I want to eat for dinner, I can tell you, if you ask me for my bank card password, it depends on the situation." ”
"Don't worry, we have always been very patient with you, but this patience is not without limits, it will not hurt you, it is under the condition that you cooperate with us!"
"Is this a threat to me? Then you may have found the wrong person, I have nothing worth threatening, my family is not in Beijing, and my friends around me don't have much friendship, if you ask too much, I have nothing to say! ”
"No, you don't understand at all!" The man suddenly approached me and said, "You know something dangerous, and if you tell us it, it might reduce your danger!" ”
The threat didn't work, this kind of scare, and it was a baseless scare, made me scoff even more, but the other party didn't rush to ask.
"You received that file a few days ago, and only you have seen it, but do you know that your actions led to the murder of a person?"
"I don't know what you're talking about?"
"Don't you know?" The man glanced back at the man next to him, who pulled out a newspaper from a drawer on the desk, which prominently reported an unnatural death.
"The deceased is the one who sent you the file, this file is very important to him, I have intersected with him for a period of time before, I want to ask him to give me the file, for this we will promise him any conditions, and also reminded him of the danger of this file, but he is also like you now, he can't see the complexity of things!"
"What do you mean, people are dead, and things are not just as you say!"
"I know you won't believe it, because his death has nothing to do with me, and I don't have any responsibility, but now it's up to you, and it's reasonable that you're not trading with me as a file carrier, but as the file holder."
"Deal!" I looked disdainful, "We don't seem to have talked about trading yet!" ”
"Don't be in a hurry to deny it, if you really don't believe what I say, then I can provide you with effective evidence to prove that this person's death is directly related to you and that file."
"Have you found the cause of this man's death?"
"It's just a clue, but I don't want to get involved because what I want is not a result, but a method."
As he spoke, the man pushed the two plastic bags in front of him, "These were originally your things, and I probably shouldn't have traded them for it, but now it's different, I have to find this method from you." ”
"What way?!"
"The method of contact with those archives, and the communication with that person in the archives, a kind of prophetic method of communication."
"Hahaha! I think you're thinking too much, and if you want my job, you should find my boss first! ”
"No, it's not these. I mean this file is a way of communication, he chose you very deliberately, and it is definitely not an accident to accept this file, and as far as I know, this is only the first file, and there will be many more, and he will continue to ask you questions, make one-sided communication with you, until the file is cracked, you can find a way to communicate with him. ”
"How do you know that?" I don't seem to understand, but I can probably understand that the file was specially given to me in order to lead me to some "event".
If so, does the file I have received indicate that this man's purpose is for me to capture the mutated monster???
