Chapter 348: Flames
"What is that?" Lu Yan was helped up by Liang Chen, moved her neck, and pointed to Liang Chen's sleeve and asked.
Liang Chen raised his hand and looked at it, and suddenly got goosebumps.
The little origami mantis was lying on his cuff at this time.
He clearly remembered that after hearing Lu Yan's scream, he threw away the origami mantis, because there was likely to be a battle next, holding the origami mantis in his hand, one was inconvenient, and the other was that it might be crumpled and thrown in the stairwell of the seventh unit, so he didn't have to worry about being blown away by the wind, and he could pick it up and continue his research after a while.
But why does the discarded origami sit on his sleeve? If it is a plastic product, it makes sense, it has no weight, and there is static electricity, which can be adsorbed on many substances, and the paper is relatively heavy, and there is no static electricity, and this kind of folded paper is not much different from crumpled into a ball, and it is impossible to absorb it at all.
Liang Chen pinched the waist of the origami mantis again and took the mantis off, this time he paid special attention, and sure enough, it was still that special feeling, like pinching a real mantis.
Seeing Liang Chen so cautious, Lu Yan realized that the white praying mantis was unusual, she could clearly see that it was origami, but she couldn't see anything special.
Lao Pan didn't know that Liang Chen threw away the origami mantis, and when he saw him standing in place in a daze and not leaving, he urged: "What are you doing with that thing, hurry up, that guy will be in trouble if he comes up with someone." ”
"Well, don't worry, we came up, probably just to find this thing. Liang Chen said in a deep voice, took out the phone, and prepared to call the mysterious woman.
"Wait, she could be an enemy. Lu Yan raised her hand to stop Liang Chen and told him what had just happened.
The man said the words "finally here", probably guessing that they would come to the roof to search, or maybe knowing that they were coming, the woman probably deliberately led them into the trap.
Liang Chen shook his head and said: "For those people, we are just some insignificant small characters, there is no need to spend all these troubles, they have already killed so many policemen, they will not care about our lives, if you really want to deal with us, you have already been killed just now." ”
Lu Yan thought about it and nodded, she had to admit that this was the truth.
Liang Chen dialed the phone, waited for a while, and said, "I found an origami mantis, it looks a little weird, do you know what's going on?"
"Immediately find a way to throw it away, get rid of it, and don't get too close to it. The woman's voice rang on the phone, speaking very quickly, Liang Chen almost couldn't hear clearly, but he heard the other party's eagerness.
He hurriedly threw the origami mantis out, but at that moment, something really strange happened.
As soon as the origami mantis broke away from Liang Chen's hand, it moved, it spread its wings, and flew back with a "whew", flying towards Liang Chen's cuffs.
Liang Chen was startled and retracted his hand like an electric shock, but it was still a little slower, and the origami mantis stopped firmly on his cuffs, hanging there motionless, and became like an origami again.
The strange sight startled all three of them: praying mantis can fly, although their ability to fly is far weaker than that of flies, dragonflies and other insects, and origami also has movement and flight, usually using rubber bands as power devices.
However, flying with wings is very complex aerodynamics, and to make a five-centimeter-long origami mantis flapp its wings and fly back, the flight path is so beautiful, even with the most advanced technology at present, it is difficult to do, this origami mantis is probably not something that exists in reality.
"I can't get rid of it. Liang Chen didn't panic, the origami mantis stopped on his sleeve, and he didn't plan to attack him, it just stopped quietly, not knowing what it was waiting for.
"It must be shaken off, that is the ability of an orphan, it will turn into a lot of flames, if you don't shake it off, you will be burned to death, and don't attack the origami, be careful when touching it, otherwise you may also be burned to death. After the woman finished speaking, she did not forget to emphasise, "Joel is almost here, I must tell him about the situation there, he may be able to help you, but when he comes to you, the other party will most likely activate his ability to kill you and him together." ”
"I know, I'll figure it out. Liang Chen hung up the phone after speaking.
He plucked the origami mantis again, threw it harder, and the situation was still the same, the mantis spread its wings and flew back, extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye it was on his sleeve.
"That'...... What is it?" Lao Pan raised his gun and aimed at Liang Chen's sleeve, and the ghost thing was actually lying on his back before.
"Put down the gun, you attack it, it will fight back. Liang Chen said in a calm tone.
"Then I'll go first, you guys...... You guys...... Don't come along. Old Pan stepped back, he was still on the top of the stairs, and he could exit the door of the stairwell directly.
It's best to go, Liang Chen thought like this, and he didn't have time to care about Lao Pan's affairs, so he asked Lu Yan, "Do you have a line?"
"Wait. Lu Yan unbuttoned her police uniform, pulled out the inside of her clothes, bit off a stitch with her teeth, and soon pulled out a black thread, but the thread broke when it reached more than 20 centimeters.
"Go up first. Liang Chen took the thread, tied a slipknot, put it through the tail of the origami mantis, put it on its hind legs, gently pulled the slipknot tight, and tied a dead knot, the action was as careful as defusing a bomb.
The praying mantis has a big belly, and it won't come out of the back when the thread is tight.
Liang Chen tied the other end of the line to the railing under the handrail of the stairs, looked up at Lu Yan, then took off the origami mantis, straightened his arms, retreated to the farthest place, and then gently put the mantis down, turned around and ran.
The origami mantis immediately flew towards Liang Chen, was pulled by the thread, and the thread was stretched very tightly, Liang Chen just rushed to the top of the stairs, and before he could go out, he heard a "bang" sound behind him, and the air instantly became hot, burning the scalp on the back of his head.
Lu Yan had already turned around and ran outside when Liang Chen rushed up the stairs, and as soon as he went out, Liang Chen also pounced outside, and then a large number of flames poured out.
Liang Chen continued to crawl forward, the flames were about to devour him like a giant beast, but in the end he still couldn't reach it, and after a few seconds, he retracted into the door of the unit, leaving only a heat wave.
Lu Yan and Liang Chen were both frightened, such a small praying mantis could actually light so many flames, if it was indoors, encountering such an attack, even if it was not burned by open flames, the air could burn people to death.
The two glanced at each other, bypassed the eight-unit stairwell, and continued to walk forward, but stopped before they reached the door of the nine-unit stairwell.
A group of cute-looking origami rabbits jumped out of the stairwell door of Unit 9, their bodies round and their movements were the same as those of rabbits, bouncing and looking white.
