Chapter 45: Blue Sonata (Red Line)
Wen Cheng had no intention of escaping, the police dragged Wen Cheng to the top of the waterfall, and the water that broke through the river embankment instantly poured into the waterfall, and the river channel below the waterfall could no longer stop the backflow of water, and the water that broke through the river again poured directly down the mountain.

Xu Tian, who ran towards the hotel, glanced down, and quickly contacted the village after finding that something was wrong.
The water from the upper reaches of the mountain is constantly flowing downhill, and at this rate, all the houses below the mountain will be submerged in less than ten minutes.
The water on the mountain is also fierce, not only flowing down the waterfall, but also in the direction of the low-lying hotels and temples of the god of blessings.
Xu Tian's ankle was already submerged by the current when he ran to the door of the hotel, and at this time, all the villagers and tourists who heard the news fled from the hotel.
Sitong, who had inconvenient legs and feet, was pushed down at the staircase by the crowd, but fortunately, Xu Tian found out in time, so he hurriedly carried Sitong on his back and fled in the direction of the top of the mountain.
The speed of the water flow is very fast, and the water is very fierce, the cable car and elevator leading to the mountain have also stopped running, the lights of the entire scenic area have been extinguished in an instant, because of the heavy water, the power system of the whole village has been paralyzed.
After the power outage, nothing could be seen, and the dark night made Xu Tian lose his direction, but fortunately, some police officers and scenic spot security guards used flashlights to direct escape routes for everyone, but the crazy villagers and tourists have completely lost control, and everyone has flocked to the only path leading to the mountain, and more than a dozen people have been pushed to the ground.
Seeing that the small bridge leading to the mountain road was about to be submerged, Xu Tian suddenly stepped on the air under his feet, and when Sitong was about to be thrown out, Xu Tian knelt on one knee in the water and supported Sitong with all his strength.
When Xu Tian stood up again, he couldn't see the small bridge, but the security guards at the edge of the mountain road pointed the flashlight at the location of the small bridge, and everyone shouted together that Xu Tian should hurry up and run over, while the water level had not completely flooded the small bridge, and it was still too late to cross the bridge.
It didn't matter so much, Xu Tian staggered and walked towards the small bridge with Sitong on his back, the fall just now made Xu Tian's ankle very painful, and the moment he touched the small bridge, Xu Tian's heart tightened even more.
The water upstream is like a surging river and sea constantly flowing downward, and it is very difficult to travel in the water, Sitong felt that something was wrong, so he jumped down Xu Tian's back, and the two supported each other and walked in the direction of the mountain road.
Xu Tian felt that his feet couldn't move anymore, and he must have injured his ankle bone just now, but he couldn't give up at this time, if he was washed away, Sitong would also suffer.
Fortunately, the water level did not submerge to the bottom of the mountain, as long as you cross this small bridge, you can go ashore safely, it is not easy to travel in the turbulent water, when you reach the center of the small bridge, Xu Tian feels that his body is washed out of the bridge by the current, Sitong holds Xu Tian's arm with one hand, and grabs the bridge with the other hand, but the two of them still can't withstand the turbulent water after all.
"Hold on!" Shang Shuai and a group of security guards pulled up a human wall, and everyone grabbed the other side of the bridge and tried their best to block the flow of water.
Teacher Jin who came to him grabbed Sitong's arm and walked to the shore, Xu Tian couldn't use his strength at all in the turbulent water, after Sitong was forcibly pulled by Teacher Jin, Xu Tian felt that his hand had taken off Sitong, and at the moment of shock, the gold-edged red line tied to Sitong's arm was washed away by the current, Xu Tian fluttered twice in the water and grabbed the red line, and the other end of the red line was dragged by Sitong.
In this way, Teacher Jin pulled Sitong, and Sitong dragged Xu Tian ashore with the red thread.
The human wall on the other side was also carefully evacuated to the shore safely, although everyone was saved, but the continuous flow of water had submerged the entire scenic area, and the water continued to pour down the mountain.
"Hurry up and get someone to close the sluice gates upstream." Xu Tian shouted.
"It's useless, that guy Wencheng must have destroyed the embankment, and he can only wait for all the water to drain." Teacher Jin said.
"That's it!" Shang Shuai looked at the endless flow of water and said. "All this water is brought from the reservoir on the other side of the mountain, and there is a channel under the waterfall that flows back to the reservoir, and if the dam of the reservoir is destroyed, I am afraid that the whole village will be flooded."
"How much water is in the reservoir?" Xu Tian asked.
"I don't know, I only know that the reservoir is 70 miles in radius, and the other end of the reservoir is connected to the river." Shang Shuai said.
"In other words, water will continue to pour into the village?"
"That's right!"
"It's not going to be easy! By the way, what about Wen Cheng? Xu Tian said.
"Flee to the mountains, rest assured, he won't escape." Teacher Jin said.
Xu Tian was still dragging the red thread in his hand, Sitong was very afraid, the scene just now had already made Sitong feel that the two of them were about to be washed away by the water, but fortunately, this red thread saved Xu Tian's life.
"Thank you...... Thank you. Sitong said to Teacher Jin.
"Now is not the time to talk about this, you hurry up the mountain and stay with the villagers, I want to go with Xu Tian to find Wen Cheng, no problem, right?" Teacher Jin said to Xu Tian.
"I'm fine, Sitong go up the mountain quickly! Remember not to leave the crowd and never go it alone. Xu Tian told Sitong.
Xu Tian re-wrapped the red thread around Sitong's arm, and Sitong looked at Xu Tian's distant back, very worried.
Because Xu Tian's foot was injured, he couldn't keep up with Teacher Jin's pace, and not long after he left, Xu Tian found Wen Cheng's traces.
"Wait, look, there's a path over here, and the footprints on the ground are still wet." Xu Tian said with his mobile phone on the ground.
"Check it out!" Teacher Jin said.
After walking for about five minutes, Xu Tian and Mr. Jin found a stone tablet on the road with the word "cemetery" written on it.
"It's a cemetery." Xu Tian said.
"Go check it out! The mountain is not big, and Wen Cheng should not be able to run far. Teacher Jin said.
After walking for about twenty minutes, the two of them had already walked into the deep mountains, and the road ahead was gone, and Xu Tian did not find that there was a cemetery here.
The flashlight function of the mobile phone was not too far away, and after walking a few steps, Xu Tian found that there was a small house in front of him, which was a house covered in trees.
However, the house does not look like it is inhabited by people, because the height is only about 1.5 meters, and it looks like a small house for worship.
"You're too slow."
Wen Cheng's voice suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Wen Cheng?" Xu Tian shouted tentatively.
"Don't worry! I'm not going to run away, I just want to show you my great work of art, the last purgatory. ”
Xu Tian had a very ominous premonition in his heart, there were still two purgatorys that had not appeared, one was the Golden Gun Purgatory and the other was the Hunger Purgatory. However, Wen Cheng just said the last purgatory, Xu Tian suddenly remembered that Li Tao was stabbed to death by a poisonous needle, which should be counted as a golden gun purgatory, so the last purgatory should be a hunger purgatory.
