10 The First Resurrection of the Sphinx (Part II)
I'm just making a reasonable assumption about the situation at the time, and in some horror environments, hearing can be more intimidating than sight, which is the same reason that some people subconsciously turn off the sound of the TV while watching a horror movie. Xi Liang is a martial arts man, he will not be frightened by strange things that happen by chance, there must have been strange things involving him at that time, and I can even boldly predict that it is his life that is threatened by some kind of scare, which will make him so frightened.
"Tenth brother, you have already told those things, didn't the eldest brother say that everything you had at that time was an illusion and auditory hallucination, at least there were no weird sounds recorded in the camera, right?" Mingyue showed a trace of impatience.
"What's the sound? can you repeat it to me again?" I kept an eye on the movement in the corridor, lest any more killers from the Yue Qing Gang appear.
Xi Liang nodded: "Listen, the sound comes from the sky, of course, it may also come from inside the statue, there are a total of fifteen syllables-" He dragged out his voice and slowly recited a sentence containing fifteen syllables, not so much a speech as a song with a slow rhythm.
I took this sentence to heart, and I felt that there was an endless sadness in those syllables.
"It's an elegy for the dead, at least to the same rhythm as the funeral songs that often sound in the cemetery above us. I knew I was going to die because I had touched some ominous secret, and death started on videotape. ”
Xiliang seemed to regain his composure, straightened up and asked Mingyue for instructions: "Miss, let's continue walking, shall we?"
I frowned and thought for a few seconds, and suddenly said something that even I couldn't believe: "Xiliang, that video was secretly hidden by you, right?"
Xi Liang's face, which had just regained his composure, suddenly turned red: "What? Do you suspect that I am also a traitor? Like Gu Han?"
I shook my head calmly: "I didn't say you were a mole, just the video." When you hear that voice from the heavens, do you naturally feel some kind of feeling in your heart, that everyone who touches the video will die, and you will be the first, isn't it?"
Mingyue has completely become an outsider, look at me, and then look at Xiliang, unable to interject.
We were walking in the middle of a road, about a hundred paces in front of and behind, so I wasn't worried that Xiliang would suddenly escape. In this kind of unobstructed environment, no matter how fast his light skills are, he can't get rid of my throwing knife blow.
"You're spurting blood, I don't know, I don't know!" he began to get agitated, and this kind of lustful performance proved that my speculation was completely correct.
I reached out to him: "Give me the video, that thing is useless to you, but I want to use it to get Leng Xin back." I just count 'one, two, three', and you only have about five seconds to think about it. ”
A person in a state of extreme panic can do anything, so while pressuring him, I am also ready to guard against his surprise attack at any time.
"I—" He swayed, shrank backwards, escaped from between my fingers, and sprang forward without touching his feet. The oil lamp was blown out by the strong wind he stirred up, and Mingyue and I immediately fell into a darkness, while Xiliang ran forward like a moth rushing towards the light.
The knife had already bounced between my fingers, but Mingyue pounced on me and grabbed my wrists at the same time: "Mr. Chen, don't do it, Brother Ten is not a traitor, he is not!"
She used her body to block the path of my pursuit, and within two seconds, Xiliang disappeared at the end of the corridor, and once again deliberately fanned out an oil lamp.
"Arrest him, but don't kill him, please Mr. Chen. Her brow furrowed, her face full of puzzled bewilderment.
"I don't want to kill anyone, as long as—" I've explained many times, not wanting to repeat it anymore, dragging Mingyue's hand to chase forward. After the corner, it was another crossroads, and we could no longer see the shadow of Xiliang. With his light skills, he will be able to escape from the graveyard in a matter of minutes, out of the control of the undead guardians.
"Mr. Chen, when we go to the ground, as long as we send out a distress signal, we will mobilize the brothers in charge of security to stop him. Mingyue reacted quickly, but I denied it in a word.
"Take me to the safe, Xiliang had a chance to steal the videotape, but he didn't have a chance to take it away or destroy it, so he hid it near the safe. "Since there are monitoring facilities everywhere in the corridors of the cemetery, if Xi Liang wants to do something secret, it will definitely be difficult, so he can only be careful everywhere.
"Go to the right, turn left at the end and you'll get the last straight passage to the warehouse. Mingyue shouted hurriedly and took the lead in running forward.
I caught up with her, grabbed her slender waist, and pushed my light skills to the limit, rushing forward quickly. Her body was very light, like a bird with white feathers, and like a handful of white fragrant flowers, although it was in the dark underground corridor, it still exuded a moving fragrance.
Crises come suddenly, and of course, only people like me who have fought a lot of battles can feel it. Normally, when a crisis is approaching within 500 meters, I will clearly judge the other side's weaponry, level, and even which country's military training has been received.
"In the other party's hand, there is also a small knife, very strange, it is the 'Abraham' tactical knife commonly used by the US task force, every time it cuts the throat of the enemy, it is ruthless and silent, and it will never miss. To be sure, the other party's killing methods are quite clever, and the slain almost didn't have time to make a defense or dodge action, and he was already stabbed to death—who? Who would the other party be?"
I no longer hesitated, quickly let go of Mingyue, and pressed her shoulder: "Bow down, don't make a sound, don't run around until I come back." ”
The front was too dangerous, and I wasn't sure if I would be able to protect her, so I just left her where she was. From the eldest brother to the tenth brother, everyone takes Mingyue's safety very seriously, which shows that she is an extraordinary character. If it weren't for helping me lead the way, she wouldn't have been threatened with death, so I had to follow the morality of the rivers and lakes, accompany her to come and go, and block all the dangers that might hurt her.
"You have to be careful—" She crouched down obediently, leaning against the stone wall.
I chased after him, turning twice in a row, and a heavy silver iron door appeared at the end of the corridor.
The door was ajar, and there were more than a dozen big men on the left and right outside the door, all carrying long and short guns in their hands, as if they were facing a great enemy. If Xiliang was in that door and out of everyone's sight, I think that would be the beginning of the killing. It's a pity that he is actually not smart enough, in fact, killers like to leave their prey alone, so that they can be killed one by one without worrying about startling the snake.
"Stop, who's who?" the men raised their guns and pointed them at me in unison.
"Miss Mingyue's friend, who came with Brother Ten. I raised my hands and kept my feet up, and when the other man relaxed a little, I immediately stepped forward and passed through the gap between their standings. In the chaos, they didn't dare to shoot casually for fear of injuring their own people, so they could only watch me rush through the gate.
The thickness of that door is no less than that of the main doors of the vaults of major banks, which shows the importance of this warehouse. Behind the door was also a circular stone room, with ten safes placed back to back in the middle, and at this moment, Xiliang was squatting in front of the one farthest away from me.
His right hand gripped the doorknob, stiff and motionless.
I cautiously looked around the situation in the stone room, and after making sure that there was no third person at the scene, I called him in a low voice: "Xiliang, Mr. Xiliang?"
Behind me, more than a dozen guns approached, but these people were quite clever, and they all saw that Xi Liang's posture was a little strange, and everyone was silent.
I slowly approached Xiliang, and a strong bloody breath immediately filled my nose, but when I looked from the side, I only saw a blood mark hanging from the corner of his mouth, and there was no obvious wound on his body. He had a serene smile on his face and his eyes slightly narrowed, as if he had felt indescribable pleasure in the moment before he died.
The young man who looked like a small leader jumped in, recklessly pulled Xi Liang's arm, and shouted, "Brother Ten, are you okay?"
In an instant, Xiliang's head shook, rolled forward, rolled down on the top of the half-human-high safe, and stood upright. The blood in the corpse's neck splattered in all directions, like a fountain that suddenly opened, and sprinkled the little leader's whole body and face, so frightened that he quickly retreated, and sat down on the ground with a poof, and screamed "oops, oops" in his mouth.
Xiliang was the only person who could provide details of the robbery scene after the video disappeared, but now that he is dead, he only left me with the inexplicable news that "the Sphinx statue is about to be resurrected".
