Chapter 31: Split and Trust: White Act I

Grabbing the little green thing tightly in his palm, the man didn't have time to confirm what it was, so he turned and left the room he had just entered, and came outside. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

His eyes quickly scanned between the trees and flowers in front of the room, and although it was close to evening, it was not too dark, and the man quickly locked on to his distant target and hurried away.

Approaching, the man trampled and brushed away the various colors of the moon flowers around him, ignoring the fact that his shirt and pants were scratched by the thorns of the moon flowers, and stepped in front of his locked position in a few steps.

Because it grows in the natural environment, and the climate is warm in winter and cool in summer, all kinds of flowers here grow very tall. Especially for the moon flower, the tallest flower branch is as tall as a man's height.

Still clutching what he had just gotten in his right hand, the man brushed aside the dark green slender flower branches in front of him with both hands, and carefully examined the ground below that was hidden.

Sure enough, there was no flower branches on the ground, which was a little larger than the manhole cover, and the soil looked very loose, and most of the grass on it was crooked, and some of the roots were exposed, as if someone had temporarily piled it up.

Stepping on the branches of the moon that surrounded him with his leather shoes to make room, and then squatting down, his hands and feet to pick up the loose dirt and grass on the clearing, the man saw a rusty metal cover appear in front of him.

Probably because of the flowers, the soil here is particularly deep, and the soil picked up by the man has piled up small slopes around it, and from time to time the soil slides back to the middle.

Finally, he finally saw the full view of the metal cover, and the man paused to take a few breaths before spreading out the palm of his right hand and carefully observing the contents of his palm.

There are two things in the palm of a man's hand, one of which is extremely delicate and delicate; The other was rough and covered with rust.

Seeing these two things, a smile instantly appeared on the man's face. He understood at once why the people in the room had given him these two things and said something like that.

Without wasting any time, the man raced against time to act, and soon disappeared among the flowers.

―――

The air underneath the ground was humid and muggy, and the man walked cautiously through the deep and dark underground passages, calling a name softly and repeatedly, and from time to time he looked back and forth, left and right, alert to the movements around him.

Soon after, the man pushed open two decaying wooden doors and entered a large space.

Because of the darkness, it was difficult for him to see his surroundings clearly, so he could only fumble and search.

The two things in his hand had been used, and were now lying in the man's pocket. The man thought, 'What's next?' Hopefully everything will go well. '

Walking back and forth in the spacious space, the man's tense nerves did not relax for a moment, his eyes wide open and trying to see if there was any danger around him, and his mouth still called the same name repeatedly.

The floor here seemed to have just been knocked over something, and the floor was all sticky and damp, and the man stepped on it many times in a row, and felt that the soles of his shoes were all covered with paste, and it was very uncomfortable to walk.

After shouting for a while, the man realized that there was no response in this space at all, so he had to give up looking here and continue to move deeper underground.

Because it was so dark, the man couldn't see where the door was at all, so he could only grope his way along the wall inch by inch.

When he touched a certain place, the hand suddenly lost its support point, and an empty opening appeared on the side of the wall.

Not daring to jump in immediately, the man's body was pressed against the wall on one side, trying to listen to the movement in the passage.

The tension grew in his mind, and he felt as if his heartbeat and breathing were louder than all the sounds around him, making it impossible for him to hear what he should have heard.

This invisibly aggravated the man's anxiety and restlessness, and he desperately held his breath, but the sound of his heart beating was like thunder, making him feel that the situation was even worse.

'I can't stay like this anymore,' the man warned himself, 'I'm going to go in anyway and try it for--... Forget it, die or die! '

Determined, the man gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, leaving the place where he was invisible, turning the corner of the wall and walking deeper into the passage.

I don't know if it was the man's luck, or if God didn't want to frighten him anymore, but this time he walked for a short time and saw the light.

Although there was still a long way to go from the end of the passage, the light from there could already make the man vaguely see his surroundings.

His eyes scanned the surroundings haphazardly, not only to make sure there was any danger, but also to find the person he had promised to find.

It is still completely unknown where the murderer is hiding, so the man still does not dare to make too much noise.

Raising his hands to his mouth, the man called softly again and again, fearing that the person might not be able to hear him because he was hiding or injured, so he deliberately stretched the tail note very long.

His eyes swept over the ground inadvertently, and the man suddenly noticed a long, dried trail of blood stretching in a straight line to the end of the passage ahead.

The blood trail was wide, and it looked like it had been left by a seriously injured man crawling the road.

The man's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and without thinking much about it, the man immediately spread his legs and ran along the blood.

At the end of the passage is a long, almost perpendicular wooden staircase to the ground, which is narrow but large enough for one person to climb upward.

Above the stairs is a square exit, and the light shines through the exit.

But the blood did not extend to the top of the stairs, but to the front of the stairs a little bit gone, and on the bottom of the stairs, the man could see several mutilated bloody handprints on them.

It seems that the injured person did not have the strength to move forward after climbing here, and it is possible that the person died here because of his injuries or was chased and killed by the murderer who came after climbing here, and then the murderer took the body somewhere else.

Or...... Although the injured man was too badly injured to walk, he was not dead, and because he could not climb the stairs, he wiped off the rest of the blood and found a hidden place to hide.

For a man's heart, his strong hope is the second outcome, but the world is unpredictable, and he can only do his best.

Looking up, the man felt that in his current environment, unless there was a new secret compartment or secret passage in the wall, there would be no way to hide people on either side.

The only thing that could hide people was a small corner of the wall behind the stairs, where the light from the top was not visible at all because of the obstruction of the wall.

From the angle from which the man was now standing, the fold seemed deep and dark, as if something was hidden in it, and as if there was nothing.

Courageous, the man slowly walked around the stairs in the direction of the corner, praying in his heart that everything would go well.

As the distance got closer, the man's heart began to beat wildly, and his breathing began to become heavy.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of the wooden door opening and closing behind him, and then the footsteps of a man striding towards the man's location.

'What to do?' What to do?! '

The man panicked for a moment, but he immediately reacted: now he can only gamble.

The man no longer hesitated, and immediately threw himself into the corner and hid his body in the darkness.

Thankfully, the shadow was big enough for the man to hide perfectly.

Upon entering, the man's body immediately touched a soft object, as if a person was leaning there.

The man's head approached the man's side, and he heard faint breathing and moaning.

Sensing someone else approaching, the person in the corner moved slightly, wanting to scream but not screaming, as if he had no strength to shout anymore.

Because the two of them couldn't see each other's faces clearly, and the footsteps in the passage were getting closer and closer.

So the man had to reach out and hug the person who had been hiding in the corner of the wall, and gently 'shhh' the man's ear, signaling him not to make a sound.

Feeling a slight tapping of his head leaning on his shoulder socket, the man was a little relieved and focused his attention on the footsteps outside.

Luckily, the people outside didn't notice their presence, and walked straight up the stairs after walking over.

Then, he stopped in the middle of the stairs and began to talk to the two people above.

The whole conversation was very brief, and it seemed that before the end of the conversation, the person standing on the stairs left in a hurry, and the footsteps of the departure seemed very flustered.

The man couldn't hear all the words of the people above, but the man on the ladder heard all the words clearly, and he always felt that there was something strange in the words, but he couldn't think of a reason for a while.

After the people on the stairs had walked away, the man slowly moved out of the corner and picked up the people who had been inside.

When both of them moved to a bright place, the man looked at it, and realized how serious the situation was.

Almost at the same time, the man jerked up the man in his arms and rushed towards the stairs, preparing to climb the stairs to call for help.

But because he was in too much of a hurry, the man did not stand firm and stumbled, and one of his leather shoes broke away from his foot and was thrown aside, and his knee hit the ground, and he was hit painfully.

Unable to care less, the man stood up and kicked off his other leather shoe, and ran up the stairs with his socks on.

Fortunately, the person in his arms was very petite and did not cause too much burden, and the man was able to climb the ladder smoothly.

Just as he was about to get close to the exit, suddenly—

He heard a few words of conversation passed down from above, and in an instant the man's eyes widened in surprise, and he stopped as if he understood something, and the hand holding the person in his arms began to tremble slightly.

"I listen to you, as long as I can save my sister and them, you can do whatever I want."

"So, what am I going to do?"

"Bait!"

……

Combined with the conversation he had just heard, the man's eyes became very dark and sharp, and he felt that he was really lucky to be able to drop his leather shoes just now.

Without hesitation, turning his body, the man put his steps to the lightest and walked down the stairs again step by step.

Walking past the last plank, the man stopped, and by the light coming from above, the man looked at the face of the man in his arms.

What a similar face! The man thought to himself.

In a very soft voice, he said to the person in his arms: "I'm sorry, I can't hand you over to him, but I will definitely do my best to save you." Don't worry, as long as he's okay, I will never give up on you! ”

The person in his arms seemed to have entered a semi-comatose state, and he did not hear what the man was saying clearly at all, but only let out a faint moan of pain.

Glancing at the exit again, the man made up his mind, squatted down on the spot, and did some emergency treatment on the injured part of the person in his arms as much as he could think of.

Then he picked up the drowsy man and secretly left there, and soon disappeared into the darkness again......
