Chapter 15: Escape and Horror
Li Yiheng was very puzzled, he was just going to get into the water, but he was relieved to think that Eric said that this situation might be a water monster. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info is very likely to dare to go into the water when the water monster is coming.,You may think he's more powerful.γ
"Hello, may I ask, do you know where Eric is now?" asked Li Yiheng, stopping one of the guards at the end of the line.
The guards obviously also heard about Li Yiheng, and looked at Li Yiheng with admiration, "The young master originally led people to patrol, but later went to find the city lord after hearing about your entry into the water." β
"That's right. Then if you go from here, how do you go?" Li Yiheng has never been here, and he doesn't know how to walk from here to the city lord's house.
The guards looked back and forth, and pointed to a tall building not far away, "You see that building, right? You go to that building, then turn left, and turn right at the third intersection to see the young master's apartment, the city lord's apartment is in front of the young master's apartment." β
Li Yiheng looked in the direction pointed by the guard, and roughly went through the route that the guard said, as long as he could find Eric's apartment, "Thank you." β
"You're welcome. The guard smiled shyly and trotted after his teammates.
In the city lord's study, the city lord sat on a wicker chair, next to Eric, the atmosphere was not very relaxed, but Eric still had a hint of joy on his face.
"City Lord. There was a knock at the door.
The city lord sat back at his desk, "Come in." β
The door opened, and a young guard walked in, "City Lord, you look for me." β
The city lord looked the guards up and down and nodded, "You saw the Gajs jump into the pool?"
"Yes, City Lord. Speaking of seeing Li Yiheng jump into the pool with his own eyes, the guards were honored, "I saw not only me at that time, many people saw it." β
"Fatherβ" Eric stepped forward to speak, but was interrupted by the city lord. The city lord nodded slightly at the guards, "Okay, you can go out." β
"Yes, City Lord. The guards turned and left. Seeing the door close again, Eric walked to the city lord's desk, "Father, you see that I am not lying, Li Yiheng did not run away, he is a very worthy friend." β
"Now, he didn't run away, but who knows if he didn't run away, or if he couldn't escape?" The city lord's attitude softened a little, but he was still unwilling to let go of his prejudices.
Eric was very happy when he heard the change in the city lord's voice, and decided to continue to talk to the city lord, "Father, you don't know, Li Yiheng is really a very kind person. Last night Li Yiheng and I went to the priest's apartment and found him using secret methods to maim those children, and then he and I were caught by the priest's plastic net and trapped in a dark secret room, do you know how we escaped?"
The city lord listened very carefully when he heard his son talk about last night's experience.
Eric picked up the city lord's water cup and poured him a glass of water, then sat on the chair opposite the city lord, and told the city lord how he and Li Yiheng escaped from the priest's apartment.
It turned out that in the morning, after Li Yiheng knew that Leci was the priest's person, he knew that the time difference in front of him was lost to the priest, and if he couldn't grasp it later, it would really be completely over. So the two of them looked for another way out in that dark secret room.
But after looking around, I didn't find any other way out on all sides. And the back of the wall is solid, even if you want to dig a hole to get out, it's impossible. In the end, I had to find out if there was a way out below, and the way out below was actually very dangerous, and if one accidentally fell, the consequences were not very predictable.
I didn't expect that there was really a way out below, but I didn't know where it led or what it looked like.
Li Yiheng opened the blade of the umbrella and tried to scratch on the ground. It was pitch black, he couldn't see what the material was, and he wasn't sure if his blade could be cut.
The main reason is that he doesn't know where the following may lead and whether there will be unexpected dangers, so Li Yiheng didn't dare to scratch too hard, if the umbrella blade could be cut at once, then the two of them would fall together, and it would be impossible to even rescue each other at that time.
Li Yiheng tried to scratch lightly, and he really opened a gap. Eric felt the scratches and found that the ground was supposed to be glue. Whatever it is, it's good to be able to cut it open.
Li Yiheng said that now he knew where the way out was, and asked Eric to do it together, although he cut the glue, but he felt that the glue layer would not be thin, otherwise how could he hold two people on it.
Eric carried a flint and steel with him, but because he didn't have anything to burn and didn't need it, he didn't use it to light it. Now that he had to run out, he took off one of his clothes, lit it with flint, and observed the rubber wire on the ground by the bright light, which was extremely tough and had a very strong load-bearing capacity, so it was not too thick.
Li Yiheng listened to Eric's words, inserted the blade into the gap, and sure enough, it felt like it had penetrated without much force. After thinking about it, Li Yiheng drew a circle with a diameter of about one meter in the gap.
Letting Eric take two steps back, Li Yiheng swung down the circle that had been drawn, and the round rubber wire that originally matched the surrounding rubber wire was cut into several unequal pieces. With Li Yiheng's action of withdrawing his hand, there was a loud noise, and a hole appeared on the ground, and a bright light shone in from the hole.
Eric wanted to go inside to see what was under the cave, but was stopped by Li Yiheng, who was just in the place where he could see the bottom of the hole.
Below, there's a melting pot of hot wax that's tumbling. The piece of rubber that had fallen fell into the furnace, and the wax was silent for a moment, and soon tumbled again. When it rolls up, there's nothing.
The diameter of the furnace is about two meters, and the location of the hole is exactly the center of the furnace, where Eric and Li Yiheng are located, about ten meters from the furnace.
Li Yiheng looked at the furnace below, thinking about how to get down. There was nothing to use around, and if they jumped from here and couldn't land outside the furnace, the two of them would be buried in the furnace like the children, with no bones left.
Looking at the wax rolling under his feet, Li Yiheng gritted his teeth and decided to take a risk.
Li Yi lay horizontally at the entrance of the cave, using the umbrella blade to draw a point of borrowing strength where he could reach, as long as he could leave the current place, he would be able to swing out of the range of the furnace.
Just as Li Yi was lying at the entrance of the cave, there was a sudden sound from above, and then the roof of the secret room was opened. A burst of bright light came down, and Eric was very uncomfortable, squinting and taking a step back, who knew that it was this step that quit the matter.
Eric was already next to the hole, so he stepped on the air and fell straight down. Li Yiheng, who was drawing the hole, saw that Eric had fallen, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he reached out to catch Eric, but because he didn't have a good focus point at this time, the moment he grabbed Eric, he was taken and fell from the hole.
Li Yiheng just grabbed Eric's belt, and when he fell, he used his arm to hold Eric in front of him, and fell down with him, seeing that he would fall into the furnace if he fell like this. In the flash of light, Li Yiheng used the umbrella blade to prop up the place he was drawing before, and pushed Eric hard, hoping to push Eric out this time.
The reaction force of pushing Eric sent Li Yi straight into the furnace. Seeing that he was about to fall into the wax, Li Yiheng opened the umbrella shield in his hand and opened it to the maximum, hoping to protect himself from being burned by the wax.
Eric was pushed out by Li Yiheng, and just turned around, his feet staring at the furnace wall, and the hem of Li Yiheng's clothes hung on his buttons. Eric kicked the trend, grabbed the hem of Li Yiheng's clothes with both hands and pulled it hard, pulling Li Yiheng out.
The two of them rolled on the ground for a long time before they stopped. Out of the confines of the furnace, both of them only scratched a little when they landed, and did not suffer any serious injuries.
The priest may have really thought that his plan would not fail, and he took a large part of the contents of the basement, but the way out of the basement has not changed, except that the exit seems to be blocked. With a wave of the umbrella blade, a big hole was cut in the back wall of the old wardrobe, and the two of them left the sacrificial apartment smoothly.
Later, Eric returned to his apartment and ordered someone to take Retz, and learned from Retz about some of the priest's other arrangements, and the man who captured the priest ruined the priest's plan.
After listening to Eric's story, the city lord was silent for a while, and then said, "It seems that I am wrong to blame him." β
Indeed, who else would think of sacrificing themselves to save others in that situation?
Everyone has the instinct to survive, and if Li Yiheng doesn't save Eric, it's understandable, after all, it was really a chance at that time, and the slightest mistake would take his life. But Li Yiheng didn't, and at the last moment, he even preferred to fall into the wax himself in order to save Eric. Maybe he didn't do it willingly, but at least he did.
"Knock knockβ"
There was a knock on the door, and the city lord came back to his senses, took a sip of water from his cup, took a deep breath and said, "Come in." β
Outside the door, it was the housekeeper, "City Lord, Li Yiheng is here, saying that he wants to see the young master." β
"Father, then I'll go first. Eric stood up, Li Yiheng came to find him, there must be something, he had to go and see.
"Let him in. The lord looked at Eric and smiled, "He gave his life to save my son, I should always express my gratitude." β
After a while, Li Yiheng was brought in by the housekeeper. The city lord personally poured water for Li Yiheng, "Come on, come on, sit down, don't be polite." β
Li Yiheng looked at the city lord in surprise, and asked Eric on the side with his eyes: What's wrong with your father?
