Chapter 37: The Escape (2)
Suddenly there was a loud alarm outside, and there were a few more "thuds" in the hallway where something was broken. Soon, the sound of a group of people's feet passed by the door, chasing the movement.
Liu Mengwei opened the door, the camera in the corridor on the third floor had just been destroyed by Wen Qiao, and now the person chasing had been attracted to other places by him, and it was the time for her to start acting.
There was no time to hesitate, she came to the elevator as fast as she could, swiped the elevator smoothly with the work card, and pressed the elevator button desperately until the elevator door closed unhurriedly.
Staying in this small space for dozens of seconds is like a year, her body is about to be overdrawn, and she is struggling to support it with her still strong mental strength.
"Ding-" The elevator rang, the metal door slowly opened, her heart rose to her throat, and she was ready to be re-grabbed and thrown into the cage as soon as she opened the door.
The doors were all open, and there was no one waiting outside the door to capture her. Not only no, this floor is surprisingly quiet, it looks like there is no one, could it be that everyone is dispatched to the third floor to catch Wen Qiao?
There's no time to think about it so much now, it's the right thing to get out first.
The layout of the second floor is very different from the third floor. It seems to be a circular structure, with a huge circular pool in the center, and the water in it has a dreamlike turquoise color, clear and transparent, but it is impossible to see the end at a glance, as if someone has put the deep sea in this small world.
She didn't have time to find out what these things were for, she had to go to room 8 first.
Room 1, further on is number 2, further on, number 3, continue on, number 5.
Hey, how did you skip number 4? No matter, but the door number of the next room turned out to be No. 8, and I skipped No. 6 and No. 7, what kind of strange numbering method is this?
She twisted the doorknob, and the room was still empty, except for a few computers glowing blue in the darkness. Liu Mengwei rushed to the back row, just about to look for the USB flash drive that Wen Qiao said.
At this moment, the computer screen in front of her changed - a simple and eerie pixel pattern of a smiley face appeared on the screen, winked mischievously at her, and then cracked her mouth and laughed.
"Hahaha."
"Hee-hee-hee-hee."
"Hehehehehehe."
This is...... Alice's voice.
Liu Meng took a step back slightly.
"You idiot, do you think you can escape from my palm? It's all over my eyes, and I've been staring at you. Its mouth opened and closed, and Alice's voice came out of the computer stereo.
There was another sound of footsteps outside the door, it turned out that they had already known their actions, and they were waiting here for her to throw herself into the net!
Damn it! Have you tried so hard to hold on until now or have you lost? No way! I'm going to the pantry, and even if there's little hope, I'll have to do it to know. Until you actually do it, even if the probability is small, it is an unknown.
But before she could take the first step, Liu Mengwei was stunned again - she should have understood when she first came to this second-layer space.
The layout of the room corridor here is a circle, where is there any end? What is the "end of the corridor" that Wen Qiao said?
He lied to me? No, it won't, what reason does he have for it? Unless he and Alice were in the same group, and he clearly didn't know much about his secrets, he wouldn't always be easing in, intentionally or not.
Could it be that the two of them really colluded, and Alice deliberately asked Wen Qiao to humiliate herself? No, it doesn't make sense, even if the two have known each other for less than a month since that night, would Alice bring someone she just met to such a secret place? What's more, the other party is still a policeman.
Since none of these speculations are valid, there is only one other possibility: this is a logical loophole, a logic loophole that has been deliberately set here to remind me. Liu Meng's pupils dilated, a little incredulous.
She is the only successful dreamer in 6N Lab for decades, allowing her to create illusory dreams in the real world as well as reality in illusory dreams.
At the end of the day, humans are slaves to the brain and nervous system. We have all had very real dreams, and the joys, sorrows, and sorrows in the dreams can even be more passionate, deep, wanton, and unforgettable than in reality. Even if something that happens in real life can quickly become a memory, it will remain in a corner of the brain, and in the end, what is the difference between it and a dream?
Just break the wall between reality and illusion. What can't be done, what can't be done, is no longer a problem. The shackles of reality will be removed layer by layer in the dream.
However, the dreamer himself will not fall into this kind of dream, nor can he design a dream for himself, just as the authorities are fascinated and the bystanders are clear. If the dreamer himself cannot distinguish between dream and reality, it is extremely easy to lose control, fall into a cycle of inextricability, and never get out. Unless......
That man said that when people face a real threat of death, they can often burst out with unprecedented potential, but the price is too great - the return to the light is fleeting.
And now, she seems to be in a dream she has created. "The end of the circular corridor" is the key she hid for herself in her dreams. She was standing on a spiraling staircase, but it was layered on top of each other, never ending, and even if her life ran out, she couldn't reach the end.
That means she's in the kind of situation that the guy said — a real death threat, a near-death state, and she's going to die.
"Wake up! Wake up! ”
"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up from your dream! ”
Liu Meng opened her eyes slightly, she was still sitting on the bed in that cell, all around her snow-white, she had actually never been able to take a step since Alice left this room.
There was a noise at the door, and someone was standing in the doorway trying to open the door and come in. In the next second, a tall man in a white coat, black-rimmed glasses and a blue mask appeared at the door with a tray.
He stretched out his slender fingers and took out the small white bone china dish from the tray and handed it to her.
It was a chocolate cake with an enticing aroma.
Liu Meng's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at the man in front of him incredulously, as if he had seen his face through the mask.
What just happened was not a dream she had created, but ...... Predicted future!
The man saw that she didn't answer for a long time, just staring at himself with a pair of copper bell-like eyes, and wanted to put the saucer in his hand on the coffee table. But before he could make the next move, Liu Mengwei grabbed his wrist.
Her hands were as cold as a piece of ice, touching the man's warm skin, like a long-lost ray of sunshine shining in the long polar night: "Take me away." ”
His body stiffened.
"Take me away, I'm running out of time." Liu Meng's voice was mournful.
"You can't get the USB flash drive back and save me at the same time, you can only choose one."
The small saucer in his hand rang, and the fork of the cake on top almost fell, and he finally spoke, in the same calm and calm tone as ever: "How could you ......?"
Liu Mengwei pulled the hand he was wearing with the watch, and there was indeed a countdown on it, and now it showed that there were still 6 minutes and 55 seconds.
"You want to destroy the power system here, but once we get out of this room, they'll know there's an intruder here. They'll find the bombs you've planted and seal all the entrances and exits! ”
"You ......"
"I only have this one chance...... Before they found out...... Liu Mengwei's breath became weaker and weaker: "You take me...... From here...... Patio ......"
He finally stopped hesitating, threw down what he was holding, grabbed her wrist with his backhand, held her waist, and lifted her up.
She was like a weak and boneless light cloud, her hands and feet were weak, her body trembled involuntarily, and she could not stand, let alone walk.
The situation changed in an instant, the plan he had made was no longer in place, and he had to make a decision in a very short time.
Now that it's been discovered, it's time to create as much chaos as possible.
He took out a small cylindrical object out of nowhere, lit it and threw it outside, and the corridor was instantly filled with white smoke, and he couldn't see the direction clearly, which naturally covered all the surveillance cameras.
Under the cover of white smoke, Wen Qiao turned around and picked Liu Mengwei on his back and snatched the door.
Although there was a lot of fog in front of him and he couldn't see, Wen Qiao's steps were light, he didn't stop for a moment, and his body was nimble like a clouded leopard walking through the dark night forest. He looked like he had already figured out the layout of the place, and in less than a minute he found the security room at the end of the hallway.
This is an emergency entrance, so it is natural to place it in the place with the highest security level.
The smoke in the corridor just now had already lured a few security personnel out, but they were naturally not stupid enough to go out with all their staff and leave no one to guard at home.
And now in the security room, it turned out to be a muscular, tall, mighty, heavily armed white man, looking at that figure, it was simply stronger than the two of them combined.
Although Wen Qiao is confident that he can defeat him, this will have to happen a series of grappling, not to mention the waste of time, and it is possible that he will wait for the support of his companions, in which case it will be troublesome, so he must find a way to win by surprise and defeat the enemy with one move.
He put Liu Mengwei down, and was about to tell her a few words, but when he saw that she had a movement in her hand first, he turned over his sleeve with difficulty, and it turned out that there was a hidden bag with three silver needles in it.
"Pierce the eyebrows, don't pierce the eyeballs, the neurotoxin on it can paralyze the optic nerve in both eyes for a period of time at the same time, enough for us to escape."
Wen Qiao didn't expect her to have this hand, but now is not the time to discuss the details, so he directly pulled out all the three silver needles on her sleeve, pinched them on her fingertips, and then squatted down slightly to carry her back.
Liu Mengwei exclaimed: "How can you fight him with me behind my back......"
But before the words fell, Wen Qiao opened the door at lightning speed, and before the white man could stand up, the silver needle in his other hand had already popped out of his fingertips and shot accurately to the center of his eyebrows.
Liu Mengwei was dumbfounded, but in the end, she said the second half of the sentence unhurriedly: "What if...... What should I do if it hurts me? ”
Wen Qiao didn't look at the big man who was groping in the air, walked to the fire door in three steps and two steps, and took Liu Mengwei to dodge in.
