Chapter 30: The Threefold Mystery of the Devil—Epilogue: Never Admit Defeat

The crying in the basement became weaker and weaker, and Luo Yifan's heart was sinking inch by inch. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He knew that Liang Yongxin was right, on his own, even if he was killed, he would not be able to open the sturdy grid wooden door in front of him.

However, Luo Yifan could not afford to accept the second blow no matter what, and this kind of pain was enough for one time.

Both hands grasped the thick cylindrical wooden strips on the wooden fence gate, and the pain of the wound in the palm of the hand was not as painful as one-ten-thousandth of the heart.

Luo Yifan never resented those little gray brain cells in his brain so much as he did now, he hated how they were so few, so clumsy, that he couldn't think of how to break through this space at all, and there was no way to save the person who came back from the dead.

At this moment, he heard Liang Yongxin's words: "That... What is that?! ”

As if finding a glimmer of hope, Luo Yifan turned his head suddenly...

From the direction that Liang Yongxin pointed, Luo Yifan once again saw Fei Guna's head stained with gray blood, at this time, the corpse was slowly undergoing qualitative changes due to the gradual extension of the time of death, and the face looking up was even more weird and terrifying.

The corpse's eyeballs seemed to have a layer of gray-white mucous membranes attached, and from Luo Yifan's point of view, the eyeballs were almost all retracted into the upper eyelids, and the terrifying lips were still grinning, and the corners of the mouth were upturned, with a mocking smile.

Rows of sharp stakes at the bottom of the wooden fence gate above had plunged deep into the base of his neck, cutting it almost entirely, blood staining the floor around him.

However, the current situation made Luo Yifan have no way or mood to carefully analyze and observe the terrifying corpse in front of him.

He anxiously asked Liang Yongxin, "What do you see?" ”

"There... Fee... Feigu's mouth... There seems to be something, green... The trembling fingers of the green ...... did not let go, and Liang Yongxin stammered.

"What?!"

Luo Yifan rushed forward with an arrow step, squatted down, didn't care about the blood, reached out and pinched the dead man's half-open mouth, and looked inside.

Sure enough, something small, barely the same color as the sticky gray blood around it, came into view. (Luo Yifan has congenital Dalton's disease, also known as red-green color blindness, see Chapter 19.) )

No wonder I didn't notice it, but what is it?

Because it was mixed with the things in his mouth, Luo Yifan couldn't tell what it was, so he simply reached out and pulled the thing mixed with blood and saliva out of Fei Gu's cold and stiff lips.

Maybe because of impatience, the force was a little too much, and he instantly felt that the wound on his hand was pierced by something hard and slender, and Luo Yifan "hissed" in pain.

Relax the strength in your hands and raise the little thing in front of you to take a closer look.

“!!”

Instantly understood what kind of horror and panic appeared on Luo Yifan's face, and before he had time to stand up straight, Luo Yifan turned his head and threw himself directly into a certain door in the corridor, almost crawling.

―――

The tall and straight black shadow was struggling to pry something, and the shadow in the trees in the distance behind him showed a few black heads, they whispered, kept talking to each other, and watched the black shadow's actions from time to time, as if they were very anxious.

Finally, the black shadow finally found the right place, only to see him lean forward, pull and pull with both hands, and immediately let out a very soft "click" sound somewhere.

Watching the black shadow quickly disappear somewhere in the house, several black heads behind him disappeared into the dense bushes...

After entering the room and standing firmly, the dark shadow was surprised to find that his position was actually in front of a door that had just been there, this door was still open, the only difference was that the door frame was now closed by a solid wooden door with a cross-grid grid.

Just before the black shadow could react, there was a "bang", and a human body suddenly appeared outside the wooden door of the grid, and the whole body was lying on the wooden door, and his face was magnified to an incredible extent in front of the black shadow.

Before he could see it, a bloodied hand reached across the grid between the wooden strips, and the shadow fell backwards in fright, until the leg slumped to the edge of the bed.

"Hurry up—quick! Please!! ”

"Remember the Seasonal Flowers! - I said it! ――The Seasonal Flowers!! ”

"It has to be quick! You go and save -- I will protect -- let him be safe! Please!! ”

An impatient, flustered but familiar voice came to the black shadow, making the black shadow instantly recognize the person outside the door.

Without the slightest hesitation, the black shadow took the blood-stained thing and gave the person outside the wooden door a determined look.

Then he quickly disappeared where he came, and rushed away with someone's full trust, and at the same time with a promise he had received......

―――

At this time, in the closed corridor on the first floor, everything seems so quiet.

The two men, who had not eaten since last night, sat on the floor with their backs to the wall, silent.

There was no crying in the direction of the basement, and Luo Yifan seemed much calmer.

I don't know why, anyway, I can't see the anxiety just now in Luo Yifan's eyes, and there is no despair, only a heavy worry is left in his eyes.

Liang Yongxin sat next to him, his head slid to his chest, his shoulders wrapped around the crook of his arms.

The two people trapped in the secret room couldn't do anything at the moment, so they weren't in the mood to say a word, just sat still.

Liang Yongxin was no longer even afraid of the corpse lying not far to the left of the two.

I don't know how long it took, but it was getting dark, and finally, the sound of someone climbing the wooden staircase was heard again, in the direction of the basement.

As if on stimulants, Luo Yifan and Liang Yongxin couldn't wait to get up from the ground, rushed to the door of the storage room at the bottom of the corridor together, and looked inside.

Because the sky was getting darker, the entrance to the basement was even darker than before, and the four eyes stared at it in a daze, full of expectation.

Slowly, they faintly saw a trace of black hair, as if a person was standing on the stairs of the basement, that person had his head down, his whole body hidden in the darkness, and it was impossible to tell who it was.

"Luo Yifan, does it feel good to be trapped here? Hehe......"

The moment he heard the voice, Luo Yifan shivered, and he immediately recognized it, it was the voice that was talking to him and Jiang Xinglong in the secret room of the 'Wall Clone Technique'. (For the phantom clone chamber on the wall, see Chapters 17 to 19.)

Luo Yifan's muscles in his whole body tensed in an instant, he took Liang Yongxin behind him, and took a few steps back vigilantly, as if there would be some danger suddenly emerging from the basement.

Without waiting for an answer, the voice came again in a deliberately pitched voice, but this time it was audible with a bit of hatred:

"What a qualified flower protector! The little sheep behind you must be very happy......"

"What did you say?" Luo Yifan didn't understand what he meant.

"Little sheep, do you remember me? Remember that kiss at that time? The voice coming from the underground was not aimed at Luo Yifan this time, but at Liang Yongxin behind him. (The kiss mentioned by the man in the dark here has appeared somewhere in the previous article, please look for it yourself, it is a very important paragraph)

This sentence seemed to remind Liang Yongxin of something, his eyes began to widen, and he recalled something in his memory.

"You're... No, you can't be-, he went with his mother to a foreign country, who are you? What kind of kiss are you talking about? ”

Liang Yongxin hugged Luo Yifan's back tightly and replied, but Luo Yifan was still vigilantly looking at the door of the storage room, full of vigilance.

"I'm so glad you still cared about my whereabouts, but you know what? Why did I kiss you back then? ”

"Isn't that a joke of the moment?" Liang Yongxin asked rhetorically.

He had guessed who was hiding underground, but there was no way to match that person with any of the people who had come to the house this time.

"Hehe, a joke of the moment? I don't know how much courage it took to dare to kiss you, you actually think it was a joke of the moment?! I haven't forgotten you for so many years! "There was more hatred in the voices of the underground, and there was some hysteria.

"Hehehe... Want to know who I've become? Want to know how many more people I killed? You let that big handsome guy guess! If you guess right, I'll let you go, how about it? Hmph, hum, hahahaha......ha

"Is it just because I rejected you back then, are you going to kill so many people?!" Liang Yongxin couldn't help yelling at the people underground.

But in exchange for only suppressed perverted laughter.

Listening to the conversation between the two of them, Luo Yifan began to have a trace of inexplicable doubts, and there seemed to be something wrong in the tone of the underground people.

Linked to the conjecture and evidence he got when he just entered the secret passage on the second floor, Luo Yifan guessed the true face of the murderer, and he felt as if he was gradually getting closer to something, maybe it was the answer, maybe it was another puzzle, and now Luo Yifan is not clear.

However, the most critical issue is the safety of those two people, and now they must not be frightened, and they must find a way to speak out.

"Except for the two of us, didn't you kill everyone else? Do you still need to guess? Didn't you kill four people in the basement just now? We can hear it well here. Moreover, wasn't Jiang Xinglong also killed by you in the bedroom? Heh, now it's our turn, right?! ”

Luo Yifan is an actor, and his acting skills are difficult for him, so he deliberately changed his tone to decadence and hysteria, as if he and Liang Yongxin were desperate, and gestured behind him to signal Liang Yongxin not to speak.

As for saying that the two people who entered the basement were four people, and said that he saw Jiang Xinglong die in the bedroom with his own eyes, it was to disrupt the judgment of the murderer, to test whether the people in the basement had escaped safely, and to test whether the murderer had accomplices.

Sure enough, hearing his words, the murderer seemed to be sluggish, and did not speak again for more than ten seconds......

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried downward footsteps in the direction of the basement, and the murderer was in a hurry to confirm something, and soon the footsteps disappeared into the darkness.

After a little more time, Luo Yifan made sure that the murderer had left before turning around to face Liang Yongxin.

"Why did you just say that? It's possible that my sister isn't dead yet, didn't you tell the murderer that she was in the basement?! Liang Yongxin looked at Luo Yifan with no understanding at all, with anger in his eyes.

"You listen to me," Luo Yifan explained while motioning for him to lower his voice, "I just said this to make sure that my sister is not dead, not only my sister, but also other missing people may still be alive." ”

"Really?" Liang Yongxin's eyes flashed instantly, and he asked, "How do you know?" ”

Pulling Liang Yongxin to a corner and sitting down, Luo Yifan leaned into his ear and said, "Think about it, why did the murderer leave in such a hurry as soon as he heard what I said just now?" ”

"Why?"

"I think there's only one possibility, and that's that the murderer didn't kill the people I'm talking about, and he didn't know that they were dead. That's why he was so anxious to go to his accomplices to confirm. ”

"Maybe the person before was indeed killed by this murderer, and all the secret rooms were also set up by him. But to complete such a huge murder plan, I estimate that the murderer will definitely not be able to do it alone, and he may have one or several accomplices to help him complete it. Of course, what I'm saying can only be guessed right now, but I think it's definitely a possibility. ”

"If I guessed it, if the people I just mentioned were really not killed by this murderer, and he didn't plan to kill these people, or if these people were killed in advance even though they were on his kill list."

"Then, what I say will make the murderer think that one or more of his accomplices have betrayed him and have done something unplanned without him, which is what is called 'hitchhiking murder' in mystery novels. How do you think the killer would have reacted? ”

Liang Yongxin was silent for a while, and said softly, "He will rush to his accomplices to confirm." ”

"By the way, he doesn't immediately go to find out if those people are dead, but he immediately goes to his accomplices to make sure they have betrayed him. The murderer may have full confidence in his plan, but no murderer will have full confidence in his accomplices. ”

Although the big stone in Luo Yifan's heart is still hanging very high, since things have taken a turn and the hope in his heart has been rekindled, and now that there may be foreign aid, what reason does he Luo Yifan have not to cheer up!

"Yongxin, I want to ask again, can you trust me completely?"

Liang Yongxin nodded without hesitation and expressed his thoughts.

"Okay" Luo Yifan stretched out his hands and grabbed Liang Yongxin's shoulders: "Yongxin, next you have to listen to me 100% and do as I say, although this will take a lot of risks, but only this one way can find a breakthrough, as long as one of us breaks through smoothly, everyone's chances of survival will be greatly increased." ”

"Yongxin, you don't have to worry, I won't let you die," he took Liang Yongxin into his arms, and Luo Yifan assured him with firm words: "I will do my best to protect your safety." So you have to listen to me completely, and you must not act on your own, you know? ”

Luo Yifan's eyes were shining with an unprecedented light at the moment, and this light was even a little frightening.

"Yifan, I listen to you, as long as I can save my sister and them, you can do whatever you ask me to do." Liang Yongxin raised his head from Luo Yifan's arms, and the flickering in his eyes was completely different clarity and clarity.

"So, Yifan, what am I going to do?"

"Bait!"
