Chapter 267: Return to Area A

Sister Yue'er finally recovered from the moment of life and death just now, and Lu Yuan and I also took her and walked out of the house together.

Lei Tianlong separated us and Xiaoxue in two different areas through this spiral staircase in front of him, and I guess this was also a plan they had agreed on in advance.

In Silo mode, once the members are separated, it is tantamount to giving the other a chance to make a move. What's more, the people in Area A didn't know the identity of Lei Tianlong's "killer", after all, from the beginning of the game, he led everyone present slowly as a leader.

If that dangerous man is allowed to run wild, God knows how many more people will die as a result.

Since he was able to find a way to spin the staircase, he trapped us in Area B. Then we can use the same method to turn back to the stairs and go back to Zone A. I vaguely remember that Lei Tianlong was fiddling with a certain wall near the staircase, and the entire staircase suddenly rotated, so it seemed that the mystery was on it!

It's just that the wall near the corridor is surprisingly large, and there is almost no big difference, and there are no marks left on the wall. The three of us searched all the way and didn't find anything wrong. Moreover, looking at the entire Western-style pavilion, if you just grope along the wall one by one, God knows that you will find the Year of the Monkey.

After looking for a while, Lu Yuan took the lead in complaining: "No, that kid has some kind of remote control device." Something like that, when you press it, you can rotate the stairs。。。。。。 ”

At the moment, I can't judge what the situation is, so I can only pray that it is better not to be like Lu Yuan said. If that's the case, unless Lei Tianlong and another "killer" take the initiative to rotate the staircase, we will all have to be trapped here for the rest of our lives.

At this moment, Long Zaitian's deep voice suddenly came from near the third floor: "Come and take a look, there seems to be something wrong here?" ”

Wrong? I didn't think much about it, so I ran straight up the third floor along the stairway, and when I stepped on the last step, I found that the dragon was half-kneeling on the ground, staring intently at the wall in front of him, and after a few minutes, he didn't even blink an eyelid.

"What's wrong?"

"Look here!"

Following his fingers, he saw that the wall he was staring at was covered with dark red wallpaper, the same kind of wallpaper that was covered in the hallway, and there was no difference.

But if you look closely, you feel that something is wrong.

Near the wallpaper, which was about a meter above the ground, three thin finger prints appeared. The imprint has a reddish husk that blends almost into the color of the wallpaper. If you don't look closely, you can't see the difference.

I was also really convinced that the dragon was in the sky, and such a subtle difference was actually captured by him.

The guy looked at the finger prints in front of him again, and muttered unconsciously: "It's weird, why did the red finger prints appear when they didn't exist before, and they happen to be here?" It doesn't look like paint or pigment, how did you get it? ”

Red finger prints? I took a closer look, and suddenly my whole body shook, and then my heart began to beat wildly.

"Shao Fei was seriously injured and fell into a coma, do you remember?"

Long Zaitian glanced at me, and then left a sentence leisurely: "You said it yourself, the breathing difficulties caused by acute mercury poisoning, as well as the failure of various organs, I don't know if the unlucky ghost is dead now, in this environment, maybe death is the best relief for him。。。。。。 ”

By the way, acute mercury poisoning! He was the only one in the entire sample hall who showed this symptom, which meant that someone must have deliberately targeted him with some kind of method. Either mercury was dripped into the food he ate, or a large amount of mercury vapor was injected into the room where he was resting.

If I'm not mistaken, Shao Fei's room should be on these three floors。。。。。。

"So, after analyzing so much, what exactly do you want to express?"

It can be seen that Long Zaitian seems to hate my reasoning and analysis process. Or to put it another way, he simply hated me as a person, and if it weren't for me, he probably wouldn't be in the situation he is in today.

Actually, what I want to express is very simple, nothing more than a simple chemical equation. Mercury and oxygen are heated to produce a new substance, oxidized mercury.

Mercury was originally silvery-white, but when it was converted to mercury oxide, it was just reddish!

If I'm not mistaken, Shao Fei's room is on the third floor.

There is no such coincidence in the world, I speculate that the murderer must have done some tricks and feet in Shao Fei's room, which caused his subsequent acute mercury poisoning, and after doing this, he quickly came to the vicinity of the third floor of the staircase, and rotated the staircase by pressing the mechanism on the wall, so that we inadvertently resisted another area.

Because the time interval left for him was so short, he had to go up the stairs before anyone could go upstairs so as not to arouse our suspicions. Because of this, the murderer was busy looking for the mechanism on the wall before he could get rid of the mercury on his fingers.

On the inside of the entire wall, there should be a large number of metal devices, and after continuous rotation, the metal devices will generate a lot of heat, which will induce mercury to turn into mercury oxide, leaving these three finger prints on the wall.

In other words, the mystery of Lei Tianlong's ability to rotate the staircase many times lies in this!

I stretched out my hand and followed the three red finger prints, placing my index finger, middle finger, and ring finger on each of them.

When one or two fingers were put on alone, the wall did not change in the slightest, but when all three fingers were put on, the originally hard wall began to gradually soften, like jelly, and slowly collapsed towards the rear.

What a clever design, and I'm guessing there's some kind of special sensor behind the wall, which only touches when all three areas are gravity-pulled. In other words, without these three finger prints, the probability of opening the mechanism by such blindness alone is almost zero.

As the walls continued to dent, I could vaguely feel the spiral staircase in front of me faintly turning.

I hurriedly pulled Lu Yuan and Sister Yue'er and rushed into the spiral staircase together. Only in this way will the stairs bring us back to Area A, and we will finally have a chance to settle old accounts with Lei Tianlong.

After another whirlwind, the exit of the corridor changed 180 degrees again, and the original position of the wall became the entrance to the room again, through the mechanism on the wall, this time, we were back in Area A.

It took less than an hour before and after, and I came back here, presumably, this was what Lei Tianlong expected, and he probably didn't expect that we would be able to save Sister Yue'er from another "killer" by mistake.

Although there were many twists and turns in the middle, he finally got the lead, and after that, he had to control Lei Tianlong before the next victim appeared. There is one less "killer", and it should not be so easy for them to act after that.

"Go to the third floor first, Lei Tianlong should go there!" As soon as the words fell, Lu Yuan immediately made a decision and led all of us to the exit on the third floor.

Sister Yue'er's previous situation made me very concerned. What's going on on the third floor? Why is there a woman's horrible laughter? Lin Xiaoxue: Are they okay now?

The stairs of more than a dozen steps were extremely long at the moment, and when we finally rushed into the corridor, a strong smell of blood greeted us.

On the edge of the three-story corridor in Area A of the Western-style Pavilion, there were the bodies of two people, one was a middle-aged man who had humiliated me in every possible way, and the other was also a member of the invitation list.

Both of them stared wide-eyed and lay on the ground, blood spraying everywhere, staining the dark red carpet and wallpaper even more prominently.

The two guys each had a terrible wound on their necks, almost pulling the entire neck apart, and the other cut the artery with a single knife, which was enough to show their amazing arm strength. I guess they didn't even have time to react after their throats were cut, and they just died.

The blood on the ground was still hot, and judging by the stiffness of the corpses, it should not have been long since the two were killed.

"Was it that bastard of Lei Tianlong?" Sister Yue'er leaned over in panic and checked the death status of the two, and in an instant, a deep sense of fear appeared in her eyes.

Earlier, if Lu Yuan and I had been moving a little slower, then she would have turned into a cold corpse like the two people in front of her.

"I don't know if he did it, anyway, join Xiaoxue and them as soon as possible, right?" Turning his head, he looked at Sister Yue'er: "Do you remember the specific situation of the three-story building at that time, where did Lin Jie and Xiaoxue go?" ”

Sister Yue'er glanced at me, as if she was trying very hard to recall the specific situation at that time, but after a while, she shook her head helplessly: "I'm sorry, because it happened suddenly, I really can't remember." ”

"Look, there's still a situation here!" Lu Yuan screamed angrily, so I hurriedly stood up and rushed to him. When I arrived, I found that Lu Yuan was standing outside Shao Fei's room 308.

The door to Room 308 was open, and the floor was littered with bloody footprints. As Sister Yue'er said, it was indeed very chaotic at that time, so that everyone had no time to take care of themselves.

On the bed in the room, Shao Fei lay quietly on it, looking straight at the ceiling, and his pupils could not contract.

We had worked hard for so long, but he still died here, and in the end, even the eyelids couldn't close smoothly.

As a result, there are only 10 survivors left in the Western-style museum. And the balance of this game has been completely tilted in favor of the other side.
