Volume 2 Eyes of the Deep Chapter 5 Meet the Second Uncle Again
Maybe it was a little salty at noon, and I felt that I was thirsty, so I got out of the car and bought a bottle of water at the gate of Ocean University, drank a few sips and put it in my pocket.
I walked to the school building, and the students were still coming in and out of the door of the school building. There is a guardhouse at the entrance to this building, and the guardhouse is opposite the staircase that leads to the basement. The university's academic buildings are basically free to come and go, both on and off campus. But if I go alone to the basement, which is rarely visited, I will inevitably attract the attention of the doorman.
I walked into the door of the building and looked at the uncle in the guardhouse. I saw that he was leaning on a chair, holding a radio in his hand, with a pair of headphones in his ears, and he was listening to something with his eyes closed and shaking his head.
I thought to myself, God help me. I pretended to be casual and walked to the staircase to the basement, and when I saw that the doorman was intoxicated, I quickly turned and went down the stairs.
After walking into the basement, I looked at the time, and it was already nine fifty-nine, which was just right. I was thinking about it when a bell rang, which should be the signal that the school building was closed. From the top of the staircase, I heard a lot of students walking out of the building talking and laughing on the upper floor. Soon the entire school building fell completely silent.
I touched the small flashlight in my pocket, which I had just bought, and although it wasn't very bright, it should be enough. Looking back at the deepest part of the basement, I made up my mind and walked straight in. As I got closer and closer to the basement, the eerie feeling of oppression returned, but the more I felt that there was something wrong there, and the more I couldn't wait to find out.
Since I came back from Qilian Mountain, I feel that I have changed, I used to be a little cautious, not interested in many things, and advocate safety first. If this had happened before, I would have turned around without hesitation. But now, I feel that I am much more inquisitive and bolder, and the most gratifying thing for me is that I feel that I have matured a lot, especially in emergency situations. After all, I am the one who once escaped death in an extremely strange place like the ancient tomb of Qilian Mountain.
Soon I came to the door of the laboratory, reached out and took out the key that had just been matched, slowly inserted it into the keyhole, and with a slight turn, I heard a click, and the door lock opened. But my heart suddenly moved, I remember that when I was leaving during the day, Fang Shaoqi seemed to lock the door twice, but I opened it all at once, could it be that someone came again in the afternoon, or did I remember wrong?
I was thinking about it, when I suddenly heard footsteps on the stairs in the distance, and I was startled, and without thinking much about it, I pushed open the door and walked in, and quietly closed the door. Because the teaching building was empty at this time, and the surrounding environment was extremely quiet, I was afraid that the sound of the door would alarm the people who came down, so I could only use my body to press against the door.
My heart has risen to my throat, and if the person who comes down pushes the door, he will immediately notice it. I heard the footsteps getting closer, and my heart was beating faster. The footsteps didn't stop until they reached the doorway, and I felt the man standing right behind me, with only one door between the two of us. I could almost hear my own heartbeat clearly, and I subconsciously covered it with my hands, for fear that the heartbeat would alarm the people outside.
Suddenly, a flashlight shot in through the small window on the door, and I subconsciously shrank back. Fortunately, the flashlight flickered and moved away, and then the footsteps also left. I listened to the footsteps getting farther and farther away, and at last a hoarse voice shouted, "Is there anyone else!" There's no locking the door! Then there was a click, and I felt the lights go out the door. It turned out that the doorman was checking the building, and I breathed a long sigh of relief.
When the lights in the hallway went out, the entire basement was plunged into darkness. I stood up and listened carefully to the movement outside until the footsteps disappeared down the stairs. I turned on the little flashlight and glanced at it, and it was still the same as when we came during the day. I looked at the instruments that were set aside, and then at the bottles and cans that were on the bench. Eventually, my eyes fell on a test bench.
Although the whole laboratory was covered with dust, all the equipment and laboratory tables were neatly arranged, except for one laboratory bench that was placed alone. This situation is a little abrupt to say, but it is impossible to say how strange it is.
I walked over, held up my flashlight, and immediately noticed that there seemed to be some numbers written on the table. I reached out and wiped it, it was too long and it wasn't easy to wipe it clean. I suddenly remembered the bottle of water in my pocket, so I unscrewed the cap and poured some water on the table, wiped it with my hand, and now I was finally able to see it clearly, only to see that it was written: 1225112306. What does that mean? I couldn't figure it out, so I took out my phone and took a few photos. The phone's flash flashed several times in succession, and in this rapid flash, I seemed to see some marks in the corner of the lab bench out of the corner of my eye.
I turned the flashlight slowly and looked at it, and I was surprised to find that there was a footprint on the side of the test bench. I was stunned when I saw it, but I didn't find this footprint when we got it during the day. Look at the footprints of the traces are still very new, should have been printed later, thinking of this my heart was violently shocked, is it someone in front of me has come, I suddenly thought of the door when I just opened the door, about the door lock questions.
If that's the case, then it's likely that this person is still in this room, and the thought of this makes my scalp tingle.
Based on the location of this footprint, and the route I took to get in, I suddenly thought of a spot I had overlooked, and the only possible place for this person to hide, and that was on top of the display case behind me. The thought of this made all the hairs on my body explode.
My current position is facing away from the display cases, which means that the person is now above my head. I felt like my heart was jumping out of my throat. I slowly straightened up, and then suddenly ran towards the door, but at the same time, I heard a sudden movement on the top of the display case behind me. I cursed in my heart: MD, I guessed right!
I subconsciously looked back and saw that a black shadow had pounced on me, and I was pushed to the ground at once. I took advantage of his unstable body and threw him off, but as soon as I stood up, my body was hit hard, and I threw myself on the experimental table, and the bottle of water was knocked to the ground by me, and the flashlight in my hand also flew out. I heard the wind behind me rise again, I suddenly turned around and struck an elbow, only to hear a bang, which hit the person in the face, this time the force was not light, the person directly staggered, and almost fell to the ground. But this person is also very skilled, and after receiving this heavy blow, he pounced on him without pause.
Then the light of the flashlight on the ground, I could vaguely see the general outline of the man, and I threw a punch in the face of the man who pounced on me. I thought I would succeed this time, but who knows, this time it was a failure. I looked down and saw that this person had already rolled over under me, and I secretly screamed that it was not good, but I was thrown on the back and put on the ground, and the man pounced on me and choked my neck.
I said in my heart that this is the end, if it doesn't work, I'll call for help, even if I am arrested by the police, it is better than being strangled to death. I tried my best to break the man's hand, I opened my mouth, and was about to shout for help, but with the flashlight that was still shaking on the ground, I saw the man's face, and I blurted out, "Second uncle!" Stop it! It's me! As soon as the words fell, I felt the hand on my neck relax, I! Sure enough, it's this old man!
I rolled over and curled up on the ground and coughed violently.
The second uncle reached out and picked up the flashlight, took a picture of my face, and froze at the moment, "Zhuo Ran!" Is that you? Why are you here, boy? ”
I was pinched by my second uncle, "I'll go!" Murder of my own nephew! ”
The second uncle hurriedly stepped forward, helped me rub my back, and smoothed my breath, "How did I think it was you?" How did you end up here? ”
I sat up all at once, "You're still asking me?" What else do I want to ask you? Why are you here? ”
The second uncle stammered, "I, uh... I'll do something personal! ”
"Private?" I immediately revealed the second uncle's old bottom, "Is it because of Huangshan?" ”
As soon as I finished speaking, in the dim flashlight, I saw my second uncle's eyes widen and look at me in disbelief. "You... How do you know about Huangshan? ”
I glanced at him, "I heard Uncle Kong say it in Linxia, and you were there at the time!" ”
"It's not!" The second uncle waved his hand, "I'm asking you, how did you find here?" ”
I pointed to my head, "That's it!" ”
"That..."The second uncle wanted to ask me something, but I waved his hand and interrupted, "Don't keep asking me when I arrive, I will also ask you, what are you doing here?" ”
The second uncle was silent for a moment, "This matter is a long story, this is not the place to talk, let's go out and talk about it." ”
"Good!" I want to see how the second uncle explains to me after I go out.
The second uncle shone his surroundings with a flashlight, "Hey, eldest nephew, have you found anything?" ”
I shook my head, "No, what about you?" ”
The second uncle sighed, "Don't mention it, I just came in, and you came, I haven't had time to see it yet." ”
I also turned on my flashlight and took a photo around, "I've been here once during the day, and I haven't noticed anything, but I think there's definitely something wrong here." ”
The second uncle looked at me in some surprise, "You've been here during the day?" How did you get in here? ”
I looked at him a little smugly, "I naturally have my own way." ”
The second uncle smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect that you kid has no ability to do business, but you are quite talented in doing this kind of thing." As he spoke, the second uncle rubbed his chin, "You kid is really ruthless!" ”
I opened my mouth to refute, when suddenly I saw the one on the ground, the water bottle that I had just touched and dropped during the fight.
By this time, the water in the water bottle had already spilled all over the floor, and I was surprised to find that the water had quickly flowed into a gap under the test table.
I hurriedly pointed it out to the second uncle, who looked at it and said, "It seems that this is empty underneath!" ”
