The channel is that L-shaped.

After landing, Dean took two steps forward and found an iron gate with a railing.

Just as he was about to get closer.

Suddenly.

A creepy shiver made Dean's whole body bounce goosebumps.

His figure froze on the spot.

Death warning?

The passage in front of you, which is probably only a few meters away, can threaten your life?

Several possibilities flashed through Dean's mind, and finally settled on the explosive trap.

Except for this conjecture.

Dean, who has a reflex almost twice as many as ordinary people, can't figure out what can threaten himself with a gun in this ordinary town.

Dim underpasses.

Dean's eyes changed slightly, and the child's hole spread, taking in the faint light, and at the same time, the vision captured by the eye also had an illusion of pulling in that was almost impossible for ordinary people.

This feeling is like a sudden shift in vision to mid-night vision, semi-magnification mode.

In this magical inhuman state, the thin transparent lines that are difficult to see with the naked eye even in a normal environment are clearly and visibly presented in Dean's eyes, completely losing their concealment.

These thin lines divide the passage, which was not very wide, into a curved and safe route of about 20 centimeters, not much wider than a foot.

You can also see the dented footprints on it.

The murderer should follow this safe route, take his prey, and enter the world behind the iron gate.

This is a very dangerous practice.

It seems that at the very beginning of the buried trap.

The murderer doesn't care about these traps, whether he will hurt himself by mistake.

At all costs.

Judging from this alone, the other party is indeed a madman!

..

"Forget it, I'll leave it to those heroic detectives like Louise to deal with it."

Dean though set the course of action.

But for the rest of the journey, I don't know what kind of danger lurks.

This naturally narrow underground area greatly limits his ability and options for dealing with unexpected situations.

Dean, who cherishes his life, retreats.

He is not a man who likes to sacrifice himself.

Not to mention that it's just Joss's fiancée, it may be inside.

Even if Joss is caught, Dean is unlikely to risk his life and take the lead in rescuing him.

Just as he was about to quit and leave it to Louise and them to take over.

On the iron gate, an inconspicuous sign suddenly caught Dean's attention.

"What is this?"

Dean Tong hole miniature.

Hesitantly.

He first informed Louise of the situation through the intercom, telling Louise to figure out the original topography of the opera house as soon as possible and not to try to enter the passage, and then bent down slightly, cautiously, and followed the safety line to the iron gate.

This iron gate is a little different from the ordinary iron gate.

Densely packed with thumb-thick steel bars form the main body of the iron door, and the ends of all the steel bars are buried near the door lock where the normal door is located, forming a 'door lock' similar to a honeycomb nest, but the keyhole cannot be seen.

If there are victims, it is difficult to escape, and it is estimated that they can only follow the gaps in those steel bars and watch the light that penetrates the passage outside, but they can't open the iron door at all.

Because of this iron door, you can't see the keyhole at all.

On the top of the honeycomb twisted revolving door lock, those converging steel lines combine to form a special triangular eye symbol.

Dean had seen this symbol in other places before!

"Lucifer!"

Is there a base of Lucifer's Game Organization hidden underneath this almost deserted town?

Easy-going.

Dean shook his head.

It can't be a base.

If it's a base.

Then the murderer is unlikely to come up with a very iconic and high-profile serial murder to attract the attention of the outside world.

In addition, the location where the iron gate connects to the wall has obvious traces of cement pouring, which should have been installed in recent years, and is incompatible with the decay around it.

After Dean is sure that there are no other traps around.

He crouched down and groped around the iron door, and finally found the side of the cement wall on the left, which was obviously much more delicate than the others.

It's a difference caused by multiple frictions.

He tapped the tip of his finger lightly on it, and finally found that there was a thin crack around the concrete surface.

Dean followed the inconspicuous gap and gently buttoned it with his fingernail.

The next moment.

The concrete wall, a small square square, popped outward.

And the steel bars that had originally gathered together also made a subtle sound, and all of them retracted into the ground, showing the passage to the unknown ahead in front of Dean.

"I'm afraid this place wasn't built by a single person!"

Dean was sure of this and didn't look any further.

He reached out and pressed the button on the wall again, closing the iron door, then backing outward, back to the ground.

He stepped forward just to determine the symbol on the iron gate, not really wanting to venture in.

..

ground, see Dean come out again.

Louise, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately greeted her, with a worried face on her face: "Agent Dean, what's going on below?" ”

"An L-shaped passage, at the end of the passage, is a strangely shaped door, and in the passage, I saw some thin lines reflecting light through the flashlight, and suspected that there were trigger explosives buried in it, so I exited first."

】

Hearing the explosives, Louise took a light breath.

Underground passages, explosives.

These two words are combined, and normal people know what the result will be once triggered.

A sad look appeared on her face: "I received a call from the director today, saying that the identity of that Ruos is a little unusual, and we should do our best to rescue his fiancée, it seems that we can only apply for the support of the bomb disposal team." ”

Louise's voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for the officers around her to hear.

I heard someone from the bomb disposal team intervene.

The surrounding police officers breathed a sigh of relief.

Dead friends do not die poor.

Inspector Louise is a man who can handle it!

Dean ignored Louise's thoughts: "Have you received any news about the situation of this building?" ”

There are still some old people living in this town.

In addition, now is the information age, and a lot of information can be found on the Internet, so the feedback efficiency of the message is not comparable to before.

Louise nodded:

"The colleague who went to ask the townspeople hasn't come back yet.

But at the police station, colleagues found on the Internet that this opera house was a welfare building built by a wealthy man who privately paid for it in order to satisfy his wife's desire to perform, and that rich man was the suspect's father.

Source: A website that recommends a quiet town around Las Vegas.

The story of this town is written on it.

This includes the opera house in ruins. ”

"No more detailed information?"

Dean frowned.

What he wanted was a topographical map of the opera house.

Louise shook her head: "This place has been abandoned for many years, and we may be able to find the information left behind from the town's administrative center, but it will take time." ”

Between words.

A white police officer, panting and running from a distance:

"Inspector Louise, I asked the old man who lives here, the opera house, which originally had two floors above and one floor below, but was destroyed by a fire more than twenty years ago.

A few years ago, someone came here to try to restore the opera house.

Anyway, the group worked hard for almost a year, and in the end they didn't do anything but blast the unsafe opera house and make it what it is now. ”

Hear that a few years ago, someone operated here.

Dean was even more reluctant to take any more chances.

...

Louise called for backup.

Waiting.

Dean receives a call from Joss.

On the phone, Joss was not in a good mood: "Dean, how is the situation now?" ”

Dean sighed heavily:

"Ruoss, it's troublesome, the murderer may be hiding in an underground space now, and the passage leading to the underground space is also planted with explosives.

We don't know anything about what follows.

This has caused a lot of distress and threat to our rescue. ”

Joss was silent for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and his tone rose: "Dean, you mean that the murderer and Gaia may be underground, but there are explosives in the passage, so you don't know how to rescue them?" ”

"Yes, if it's just to kill the murderer, we can slowly wait outside, wait for the murderer to come out of it himself, or even we can directly detonate the explosives and bury the murderer.

But we want to rescue your fiancée.

She doesn't know what the situation is now.

The explosives in the passage, once not handled well, will cause the collapse and subsidence of the underground space.

That's where we get stuck. ”

"Can that be like this...", Joston, paused, and continued: "Use the excavator to dig up the underground space directly from above, so that you can directly open the top of the space below without going through the passage. ”

Ahh

Hearing Joss's 'wonderful idea', Dean subconsciously wanted to deny it.

If it's a construction team from Huaguo, maybe you can give it a try.

On the American side.. Hehe.

So, Dean could only say, "Theoretically.."

He was about to say that time efficiency was a problem.

Joss had already hung up the phone excitedly.

Soon...

Dean knows what banknote power is!

...

Now.

Ground floor.

The handsome man, stroking the gauze around his neck, looked expressionless with a frightened face, and the whole person was fixed to Gaia on the eucalyptus.

It's a small room like a butcher's workshop.

On the rusty steel eucalyptus board, Gaia is like a pig waiting to be slaughtered, with her limbs immobilized, and she can only feel helpless and hopeless in the cold.

Crash~

The chains collide, making a crisp and numbing sound.

Gaia looked at the expressionless man in fear, and pretended to be calm: "My boyfriend is a big man, let me go, otherwise he will definitely not let you go!" ”

"Big shots?"

The man grinned, "No wonder they found out so quickly. ”

Hear this.

Gaia, who was already desperate, resurfaced with hope for life in her eyes.

This madman!

After she escaped in front, she found that the room at the end of the passage was now like a butcher's workshop, and there was no way out at all!

This means:

I'm afraid she won't be able to get out at all!

But now it's different.

Gaia believes that as long as her fiancé Ruos knows his location, then even if he digs 100 meters into the ground, he will save himself!

The key now is to stabilize the madman in front of you!

Gaia mustered up what little courage she had left: "I'm sorry, I'm a little impulsive in front of me, as long as you don't hurt me, I'm willing to cooperate with all your needs!" ”

The man just smiled, turned away, and walked towards the corner of the room.

The corner is a rectangular object obscured by canvas.

Gaia tilted her head, trying to see what fate was ahead of her.

The canvas is torn open.

Seeing what was underneath clearly, Gaia couldn't help but shed tears from the corners of her eyes.

Lunatic!

This man is a madman!

Help me!

Joss, come and save me, I'm so scared!

Underneath the canvas was a black, shriveled corpse in a wheelchair!

The handsome man, looking at the corpse in front of him, showed a tenderness in his eyes that was more affectionate than he had been to Gaia.

He squatted down, gently stroked the face of the dried corpse, leaned up, kissed the lips above, and whispered: "Mother, I found a woman who looks like you, I will bring her to you immediately..."

Crunch~

Accompanied by the rusty grinding sound of the roulette wheel.

The man pushed the wheelchair and walked to the eucalyptus.

The courage that Gaia had just mustered was completely gone.

She cried bitterly, "Madman, what the hell are you going to do! ”

The man chose the appropriate tools from the tools hanging next to him and placed them next to Ruosi one by one, and said gently: "Don't cry, don't be afraid, I'll inject you with anesthetics later, you won't feel pain!" ”

"Leave me alone!"

"Let me go, I'll give you a lot of money, whatever you want, I'll give it to you!"

This kind of torture of waiting for death made this girl who had not been deeply involved in the world, and the hope of rekindling it was shattered again, and the already restless heart almost collapsed.

Even though Gaia knew that it was useless, under the instinctive desire to survive, he still began to struggle frantically.

This action angered the handsome man!

He angrily grabbed Gaia's neck, pressed the whole person on top of her, and said viciously: "Stinky bitch, I told you not to move, otherwise I will make you feel the pain of being skinned and eviscerated alive!" ”

Don't wait for Gaia to react.

He shook his head nervously again, and said to himself, "No, pain will cause muscles to tighten and destroy the perfection of the skin, so that the mother will not be able to recover to her most beautiful time..."

Gaia was almost scared to pee.

She finally understands the purpose of the man!

This madman actually wants to peel off his own skin, remove his internal organs, and get all the dried corpses in a wheelchair!

Lunatic!

Help, my God!

But today, God seems to rest.

After a long period of preparation, a needle hit Gaia's neck, causing her to lose consciousness completely.

...

"What perfect skin, hair..."

After the handsome man anesthetized Gaia, he meticulously put on his gloves and chose the right skinning knife.

At this moment, he was grateful to the mysterious organization that had transformed this underground hunting ground in the first place.

From the organization's website, he learned a lot of things that he hadn't been exposed to before, including some criminal methods.

As a price.

He was also arranged by that mysterious organization to be the caretaker of this unopened underground hunting ground.

Pity.

Because of certain selfish desires.

The man was not prepared to let this place, with his mother's good memories, become a place for others to do whatever they wanted.

He will leave with his 'resurrected' mother.

Just as he fell into the memories.

Overhead, there was a sudden sound of vibration.
