Chapter 286 The Stage of Evil - Hong Ke's Last Struggle
Calloused hands groped with the wooden floor, Hong Ke always felt that there was a familiar smell here, completely different from the hotel apartment, but the hotel room was indeed covered with wooden floors, which made Hong Ke still have a trace of luck in the place he was in.
As if the bed was close to the bathroom, Hong Ke relied on his senses to identify the location in the darkness, groping his way to the imaginary location of the bed in the hotel apartment.
He couldn't stand up, because standing up would make him even more confused.
A little more, maybe a little more, and you can touch the bed. Continuing to comfort himself, Hong Ke moved forward inch by inch, he didn't dare to move too much, because he was afraid that Hong Huijian would set him a trap.
His elbows rubbed against the floor alternately, and he was able to prop up his still somewhat limp body, and it was impossible for Hong Ke to pay attention to the situation under the floor.
Just when he was unprepared, Hong Ke's right hand suddenly sank down, and the so-called floor made a clicking sound, and it actually tilted.
This scared Hong Ke a lot, thinking that he was going to fall off the floor, he let out an exclamation, but he didn't expect the floor to just tilt a little, and when Hong Ke stepped back a little bit, it immediately returned to its original state.
‘!! With surprise, Hong Ke suddenly sounded the alarm bell in his heart, although he was not sure of anything, but the mere thought of the name of the house made his body tremble violently.
'How can the floor be tilted?' Could it be ......'
Hong Ke didn't dare to think any further, he began to crawl around the floor in circles according to his experience, which was also a special kind of proof, Hong Ke wanted to prove that his guess was wrong.
However, climbing down in circles, two laps and three laps, Hong Ke brought himself not surprises, but fear.
He was already sure where it was—above the ceiling of the secret room on the second floor of the Roquehouse.
The reason why he is so sure that he doesn't even need to turn on the lights to verify it is because Hong Ke is too familiar with this place, even more familiar than his own previous home. Countless times, he secretly took money and drugs here without telling his accomplices. Just because he knew there was a most hidden entrance and exit.
If this is the case, I still have a chance to live, but I'm glad I didn't tell that kid the last secret!" I don't know if that kid is still in this house, I'll have to find that trapboard quickly. ’
Thinking of this, Hong Ke stopped going around in circles, he trembled with his hands and began to grope carefully on the top of the secret room little by little, he had no way to use the light, because the switch of the light was below. Now Hong Ke can only rely on his own memory to find the only key to open the escape route.
His hands trembled violently, and he could see how scared and anxious Hong Ke was in his heart, Hong Huijian could appear in a corner of the darkness at any time, secretly approaching him, so he had to be quick to escape.
——
In fact, Hong Ke didn't have to worry at all, because Hong Huijian would not come today, he had already left L Mountain in the middle of the night on April 27, returned to his rental house, and went to prepare for the killing of the hotel manager.
Leaving his father alone in the Luoquewu, isn't Hong Huijian afraid that Hong Ke will escape?
No, Hong Ke is destined to not be able to escape, because Hong Huijian has already laid death traps to catch 'prey' in the places around the Luoque House where Hong Ke may be detached, waiting for Hong Ke to drill down by himself.
Killing his father with his own hands is still a bit of a problem for Hong Huijian, and using the trap can at least make the 'conscience' buried deep in his heart a little better.
In fact, the so-called 'conscience' Hong Huijian no longer knows what it is, he just doesn't want to think about and face his mother's death so far, and killing his father makes him have to recall that period of the past, so Hong Huijian chose to escape, he would rather take the risk of missing than see his father die.
Cold, rain-soaked trap props waited quietly outside, and Hong Ke was now slowly approaching his irresistible miserable end......
——
Finally, with trembling hands, he found the only small piece of special wood on the top of the chamber, which could be taken down, and there was a small switch underneath it that controlled the switch of the lights in the walls of the chamber below.
Carefully snapping the small plank off with his fingernails, Hong Ke tried not to touch the protruding switch that connected the plank.
His fingers touched the wires while pulling out the plank, Hong Ke fumbled to pull out all the plugs of the wires, and then crawled over with the plank in the other direction.
Confirm the position of the main beam and keel under the roof of the chamber by hand, and Hong can use them to identify whether he is climbing in the wrong direction.
The experience of the past is still good for now, Hong Ke is glad that he has not forgotten the things he remembered in the past because of old age, and he climbed and counted the keels until his head reached a wooden wall.
That's right, that's the location, there's nothing wrong with that, the ceiling on the other side doesn't reach the wall at all. And then...... Move three inches to the left, and by the way, here it is, the edges are all the same as before. ’
After finding the position, Hong Ke's fingers moved back and forth along the edge of the thought in his heart, and there was a small groove here in his memory, which could insert the wooden board in his hand halfway, and then it would be easy to do.
Due to the blockage of dust and dirt, Hong Ke didn't touch the place he imagined for a long time, cold sweat had already oozed from his head, and he was so anxious in his heart. As the horror intensified, his senses began to conditionally fire any small sounds around him, thinking it was Buhe approaching him.
Suddenly, his heart began to feel uncomfortable, and Hong Ke endured the side effects of all this, just wanting to live, and his fingers became more and more impatient.
"He didn't come, he didn't come, he didn't come...... kept comforting himself, Hong Ke had no patience to grope anymore, he simply put the thin wooden board in his hand along the floor and inserted it hard and again, hoping to insert it in the right place unintentionally.
There was a louder and louder crash on the roof of the chamber, as if a trapped beast was hitting the wall.
Finally, a miracle happened, the wooden board was actually slammed into the groove by Hong Ke, and in an instant, Hong Ke felt a burst of surprise.
'Quick, quick!' ’
With a hard wrist, Hong Ke began to press the end of the plank that was not fully inserted into the floor, as if he was going to pry up the entire ceiling with this small square plank.
In fact, Hong Ke did want to pry up the ceiling, but not the whole piece, but the top of a square compartment located in the northeast corner of the roof of the secret room. This is Exit 11 of the secret room, which Fuwa can't find anyway.
Priing it open is equivalent to prying open the door of life for Hong Ke. But why pry up that roof with a block as small as a regular parquet floor? If we described it before, the top plate should be more than fifty times the small wooden board in Hong Ke's hand now.
It is because most of the ceiling in the secret room on the second floor of the Luoque House is made of ordinary wooden boards, but the panel in Hong Ke's hand is made of iron sandalwood, which is harder than steel. It is in fact the 'key' to Exit 11
The top panel there is hidden behind the wall of the first form of the chamber underneath, and you can't open it by any means, only by inserting the appropriate 'key' into the secret groove and priing it hard.
When Luo Yifan and Jiang Xinglong found the switch on the roof of the secret room, they used him to turn off the set of reflected lights in the transparent wall, they couldn't have imagined that the small wooden board connected to the switch was actually a 'key' for escape, so as evidence, Hong Huijian certainly couldn't think of it, which is the fundamental reason why Hong Huijian couldn't find Exit 11.
