I reached out to cover my mouth, and my back was in a cold sweat, as if I was afraid that someone outside the door would hear my gasp and recognize me. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It wasn't Nie Qian who knocked on the door, this was a private lounge, she didn't have to knock if she wanted to come in, not to mention her current situation, she wouldn't let me take the risk to open the door.

What's more, Nie Qian won't come back so soon after she went out not long ago.

So who is the person knocking on the door? The police? Or is it the real owner of this lounge?

I do not know.

The knock on the door stopped abruptly after one ring, but I could clearly feel that the man was outside, he hadn't left, and was confronting me across the door.

The heart-wrenching stalemate lasted for five or six minutes, until a small note was slipped into the crack under the door.

I picked up the slip of paper, and it was machine-printed with six small prints, ten o'clock, door nine.

It's him! Almost immediately, I guessed the identity of the other party, the man who had led me here!

He's here to show the way again!

Maybe he thinks he can't get out of here without his help?

You must know that Happy Manor has morning and evening performances, and the number of visitors at night is not less than that during the day, and when night falls, the possibility of going out while the chaos is still very large!

It was only when Nie Qian came back that I realized that my idea was too naïve, and now let alone escaping from the manor, it has become difficult to even move around.

While eating the boxed lunch that Nie Qian brought me, I listened to her tell me about the situation outside.

A large number of police officers were brought in from the playground, and of course, no amount of people were enough to carry out a large-scale search, so they only set up sentry posts at the entrances and exits, and then assigned people to patrol the park to look for clues about me, so this private lounge is still safe for the time being.

Due to the large number of tourists in the playground, the police did not release any news about me, for fear of causing a riot, which would become out of control.

"Xiaoqian, what time is it?"

"Nine-twenty-five."

"Thirty-five minutes left, let's get ready, and then get out of here."

"Get out of here?" Nie Qian didn't react for a while, "Have you thought of a way to get out?" ”

I handed her the note that the mysterious person had stuffed in, and instead of being the slightest bit happy after reading it, the other party said with a confused face: "Gate Nine? But there's no Gate Nine here! ”

"What? No Gate Nine?! The cold sweat on my back oozed again, "How is that possible?" Think again! ”

Nie Qian shook her head with certainty, "There are only eight entrances and exits in Happy Manor, and I have never heard of a ninth gate." ”

Seeing that I was still skeptical, she found a playground map out of nowhere, spread it out in front of me, and said, "If you don't believe it yourself, Happy Manor does not have Gate 9. ”

Nie Qian was right, I looked at the map more than a dozen times, but I didn't find the No. 9 gate mentioned on the note.

This is...... What's going on?!

I sat back down on the couch and tried to calm myself down, "Why is he making such a joke?" ”

"Who are you talking about?"

"No, it can't be, there's no need for him to joke like that with me, whether he's friend or foe." I muttered to myself, "There must be Gate Nine, there must be one!" ”

"Can you not get into the horns, Luo Jun, there is no Gate Nine here, it's a fact!"

For my stubbornness, Nie Qian was a little unhappy.

But I didn't pay attention to it, but focused on searching the map again, I searched almost every corner of the map, but I still didn't see Gate 9, could I really have been tricked?!

I stopped talking.

Time doesn't stop there, and the opportunities left for me to make decisions are getting shorter and shorter, so it's safe to spend the night here, but what about tomorrow? If you miss this opportunity, will you be able to leave tomorrow? I'm not sure.

"Xiaoqian, what time is it?"

After a long silence, I asked the time again.

"Nine-forty-five."

"We're running out of time, we have to get to Gate Nine by ten o'clock."

Nie Qian must have thought I was crazy and looked at me in disbelief, "Luo Jun, are you okay?" You've seen the map several times, and there's no Gate Nine at all, so let's find another way, right? ”

"No, there is Gate Nine, there must be!" I insisted.

"You... You donkey! ”

Nie Qian was so angry with me that she stopped talking, twisted her head to the other side, and looked like she was left to my own devices.

In fact, my insistence is not simply stubborn and angry, but for a reason, if the mysterious man didn't really want to help me, he wouldn't have to go to great lengths to arrange all this, spend his mind on a meaningless matter, and would not entertain a person who has nothing to do with him.

So, my answer is that Happy Manor really has Gate Nine, but we haven't found it.

There are, but hard-to-find places......

Thinking of this, I changed my mind and shifted my gaze to the edge of the playground on the map, no longer paying attention to the eight marked gates, but looking for those small and inconspicuous places.

There is the number nine, but it is not necessarily the gate......

Suddenly, I was attracted by the Arabic numerals, which were so small that they were almost invisible to the naked eye, and said excitedly: "Xiaoqian, look, isn't there another 9 here?" ”

Nie Qian thought that I had really found Gate No. 9, and hurriedly turned her head over, but after a closer look, she said disappointedly: "This is just a parking lot, what is Gate No. 9?" ”

"And can you find anything else on the map about Nine?"

"Yes, look here...... Over here...... And here, aren't they all?! Nie Qian pointed out the places with nine characters on the map one by one.

This finger confirmed my guess even more, and I smiled and said to her, "Then look at it, how many places are closest to the edge of the playground and closest to the outside?" ”

"Closest to the edge......" Nie Qian's gaze fell back on the map, suddenly, her eyes lit up, and then said to me excitedly: "There is only one, it is this parking lot, is there an exit to the outside here?!" ”

"Okay, let's go, I'm afraid I'll miss the time if it's too late."

I didn't answer Nie Qian's question, but took her hand and walked out the door.

The parking lot will have a special passage for vehicles to facilitate vehicle access, although this is not a big secret, but if you only focus on the three words of Gate 9, plus you don't drive, it is easy to ignore this 9 parking lot.

For some reason, I gradually became interested in the development of things, and this note was different from the sentence that the man had prompted me earlier, with a bit of reasoning, which made me feel strange that I couldn't put it into words, and the other party's purpose was even more confusing.

But one way or another, getting out of here is the priority.

As I walked out of the house, I began to understand the man's intention in choosing ten o'clock, which was the end of the day at Happy Manor.

Right now, a large number of tourists were pouring towards a few designated exits, and Nie Qian and I were also mixed in the middle of them and walked in the direction of the parking lot.

The night was a great cover, and there was a lot of police traffic along the way, but no one noticed me, which allowed us to get to the parking lot without any problems.

As expected, as soon as I arrived, I saw the entrance and exit for vehicles, and the big number 9 on the wall of the ticket booth!

"Xiaoqian, this should be the ninth gate mentioned on the note."

I felt a thrill in my heart, maybe I really had a chance of escaping.

But soon, my excitement was wiped out by Nie Qian's question, "But the note didn't tell you what to do next." ”

I looked ahead, stunned, and at this moment, there were five or six policemen standing next to the ticket booth, checking the vehicles that were about to leave one by one.

The exit is right in front of you, but you can't let me break through the police again, right?

"Wait, maybe someone will pick us up then, and even if there's no one, we'll be able to go back to the lounge." Nie Qian comforted me softly.

It's just that she didn't notice that there were more and more police officers behind us, and if we couldn't leave here, we wouldn't have a chance to go back to the lounge.

Watching the others drive away, my mood became very irritable, the crowd that was still crowded has become sparse, and if I continue like this, I will soon be exposed and become a target of the police!

Could it be that my reasoning was wrong? Isn't that the ninth door on that note pointing to here? Or maybe you've really been tricked?! I was full of confidence just now, and I was a little shaken at the moment.

No! Impossible! I must have not found the key to open this escape door!

"Luo Jun, there are fewer and fewer people here, if it goes on like this......" Nie Qian reminded in a low voice on the side.

I tried my best to keep myself calm, my gaze quickly swept over every part of the parking lot, and walked slowly with Nie Qian, because everyone here was moving, and it would seem strange if it didn't move.

But after another five minutes, I still couldn't find any clues that could help me get out of here.

"Luo Jun, why don't we go back? When there are fewer people here, you will definitely be found by the police. Nie Qian spoke again to persuade me.

It's impossible to go back to the lounge, I sighed to myself.

Suddenly, I thought of a question, if I was really discovered by the police now, would that mysterious person just watch me be arrested?

The answer is no, of course, and if he really has that much ability, why don't I gamble again?

Nie Qian never dreamed that I would walk towards the exit of the vehicle, the place full of policemen, he grabbed my arm hard, and said while dragging me back, "Luo Jun, what are you doing?" Are you crazy? It's all cops there! ”

"I know, I'm going there." My tone was firm.

Nie Qian took my hand and suddenly let go, and then looked at me like a monster, she definitely didn't understand why I was doing this?!

It was not so much my own gamble as it was that I had come to blackmail the mysterious man, who, since he had gone to great lengths to help me escape, would not have done nothing at this time and let me fall back into the hands of the police.

I am convinced that my inference is correct!

As I got closer to the exit, my heart was beating uncontrollably, as if someone had noticed me, and several policemen were looking towards me, and I felt the urge to run away.

"Beware!"

Suddenly, Nie Qian screamed and dragged me back.

Before I could understand what was happening, a cool breeze blew in my face, and a black van stopped in front of me.

A man in his forties poked his head out of the driver's seat window and said to me, "Get in the car, I'm here to pick you up." ”

I won! My own blackmail worked!

Although it was not the voice of a mysterious man, it must have been sent by the other party.

I didn't even ask a word before I opened the car door, got inside, and then pulled Nie Qian up, and the moment I closed the door, the van started slowly.

"You ......"

I was about to ask a question when the man interrupted me, "Don't make a sound, I'll talk about it later." ”

Before we could finish speaking, the car had already come to the exit, and a policeman was walking towards us.

Suddenly, an idea popped into my head at an inopportune time, and I almost didn't jump out of the car on the spot, even though I got into the car sent by the mysterious man, but I didn't pass the police raid.

Now let alone open the door to check, even if they can see me clearly through the car window, won't I be a turtle in an urn by then?!

It stands to reason that I should be panicking now, because I will be discovered by the police in a few minutes or even tens of seconds, but when I saw the driver's calm side face, curiosity outweighed panic, and I really wanted to see what else that mysterious man could do to get him out of here in this situation?!

The policeman had already walked to the driver's window, and he showed his ID and said to the driver: "Hello, we are from the Municipal Criminal Investigation Brigade and need to check the people in your car." ”

I took a deep breath and stared at the driver to see what he would do next.

Who knew that the driver looked indifferent, stretched out his finger and pointed at me and Nie Qian, and said, "There are only the two of them in the car except me, if you want to check, hurry up." ”

Damn, isn't this just selling yourself? What kind of solution is this?

My heart trembled violently, now I have been forced into a desperate situation, there is nowhere to retreat, although I feel aggrieved in my heart, but at this time I can only endure it for the time being, and wait and see what happens!

The policeman looked at us in the direction of the driver's finger, his gaze swept over Nie Qian's face, and then looked at me carefully, with a hint of complexity in his deep eyes.

If there is a hole in the ground now, I will not hesitate to get into it, look at the other person's expression, he has recognized himself, and the rest can be imagined!

But the world is always unexpected, and the police did not come to arrest me, but turned to look at the driver and slowly spat out a few words from his mouth, "Okay, let's go." ”
