Chapter 138: In Deeper Darkness (5)
The reason why Qiao Liang suddenly shouted at that time was completely subconscious. He didn't think about the possible consequences of his shouting, he was just thinking that if this thief really jumped over the wall and broke into the building to steal something, he, a helpless student, would not be able to deal with it anyway, but fortunately he was not staying here by himself now, and fortunately the other one was still a professionally trained policeman, so he immediately shouted to attract Wang Yao's attention in the dormitory room next door.
However, the next development of things was greatly beyond Qiao Liang's expectations. When he stared out the window and shouted the first sentence, before he could open his mouth and shout a second time, he was horrified to find that the black shadow on the willow branch in the heavy rain seemed to be frightened, and his body suddenly stopped. However, because the branch was not too thick to support the balance of the man's body, and because the rain was too slippery, I saw his body shake violently in the air and suddenly fall downward.
Between the lightning and flint, a thought flashed in Qiao Liang's heart: "It's happened!" This guy... It's over! ”
You must know that the branches of the willow tree are not biased and are just hanging above the abyss! If that thief just fell like that......
When Qiao Liang thought of this, he only felt a buzz in his brain, and his mouth was still in a wide open posture, but he couldn't say a word in horror. While he was in a daze, the figure on the branch unsurprisingly leaned back and fell......
At the same time, the wooden door of the bathroom was slammed open and slammed against the wall, and the huge noise, accompanied by the shouts of Wang Yao, who was attracted by Qiao Liang's shouting, came to Qiao Liang's side from far and near:
"Hey! What happened!! What thieves!! Where is it!!! ”
Wang Yao's eyes widened, nervously looking around at the situation. At this time, Qiao Liang, who was standing in front of the window, was startled, and finally came back to his senses, turned his face distorted, raised his hand with a crying voice, and pointed outside:
"In, in, in, there! That person, that person wants!! ”
Wang Yao immediately looked in the direction of Qiao Liang's finger, and when he saw the scene outside the window, the whole person was almost about to explode:
In the darkness of the night and the pouring rain, on the branch of the thick willow tree standing beside the bottomless abyss, there was a pitch-black figure holding the branch tightly with both hands, and his body hung weakly above the entrance of the cave!!
At this time, Wang Yao couldn't care about the identity of this person who suddenly appeared, he only thought of one thing, that is, he must not let this person fall! He immediately rushed to the window and shouted at the figure:
"Hey!! You hold on a little longer, and don't let go!! I'm going to save you right away!! ”
After speaking, he ignored Qiao Liang, who was at a loss next to him, and rushed out with a brisk step. When he went around the path as fast as he could, he saw the man hanging from the branch at a glance. I saw that the man's expression was extremely painful, and when he saw Wang Yao coming, he only rolled his eyes slightly, and he wanted to ask for help but was afraid that he would be relieved and fall into the hole. Although this person couldn't say a word, Wang Yao immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, that is: this person has been seriously physically exhausted, coupled with the rain and slippery hands, he is about to fall!!
Oh my God, we have to get him out of here!!
Wang Yao shouted to reassure the man not to worry, and looked around in a panic. When he saw the box of goods parked at the intersection, he had an idea, and ran over to open the door of the carriage, and when he had just pulled out a plank from inside, he suddenly heard a terrible scream behind him with a slowly decreasing echo, and he immediately turned around to look, but sat down on the ground with his feet limp.
Finished.
Too late.
Wang Yao looked gloomily at the willow branch that was almost about to break, and the figure that had hung there before had disappeared.
Wang Yao knew that that person had already fallen into the abyss. The scream with an echo just now was the scream that this person instinctively made when he fell.
Just when Wang Yao was sitting on the ground in frustration and drenched in the rain, Qiao Liang walked out of the door of the dormitory building with an umbrella probe. He saw Wang Yao next to the box from afar, walked forward quickly and said cautiously: "Uncle policeman, that ...... Just now, ...... that person? ”
"Didn't you already hear it all?" Wang Yao didn't look up at Qiao Liang, the rain pasted his neat medium-long hair on his forehead without any image, he just stared at the black hole not far away and muttered blankly:
"I didn't have time to save that man. He...... Fell. ”
Qiao Liang's heart sank, and he couldn't help biting his lip. It's not that he didn't hear the miserable scream, but he only asked Wang Yao with the last trace of hope. As a result, of course, it was not as it should have been. And the direct consequence of this was that he had a very heavy sense of guilt in his young mind. He never imagined that his shout would become a talisman for the person who fell into the hole. Although I don't know what that person did, even if it was a thief, let him fall into the abyss and die...... Too cruel, right?
Thinking of this, Qiao Liang's breathing couldn't help but become short. He felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he felt that he was a murderer, if he hadn't screamed just now, wouldn't that person have fallen to his death because he was frightened? No, this is not the result he wants, he Qiao Liang wants to be a hero, not a murderer!
Qiao Liang's brain was like a yarn, and on the one hand, the sudden feeling of guilt made him breathless, and on the other hand, he felt an extreme fear come to his heart, he was thinking:
"What if, after the person who fell into the cave dies unjustly, he becomes a ghost and comes up to find the enemy? Will he know that I killed him by shouting and haunted me? Oh my God, he didn't see my face before he died! No, no, no, he must have seen it! I was standing in such a bright light just now, how could he not see me!! God, what should I do!! ”
Qiao Liang panicked again. His eyes seemed to vaguely appear in front of his eyes all kinds of movie scenes of revenge of ghosts that he had seen a long time ago, imagining the bloody and terrifying face of the person who fell into the hole, he couldn't help but weaken his legs, and almost collapsed to the ground.
And while Qiao Liang was thinking nonsense, Wang Yao, who was sitting on the ground, remained silent.
He stared blankly at the black hole not far away, with a strange and inexplicable expression, no one knew what was going on in his heart. Of course, Qiao Liang was worrying about his own problems, and he didn't notice that Wang Yao seemed to be slowly becoming wrong.
