The Midnight Owl - Chapter 182
Time 12:10, **** number 9.
“Lin Lin, let me go out,” Kuang Jinxin once again explained to the little girl next to him, but there was one more sentence than the previous time, “You must not go to the utility room, there is danger.”
According to the original development, Lin Lin should advise him to go to the utility room, but when he said this, the little girl said nothing more, but only responded: “Oh, good.”
Kang Jinxin took Chi Yingxue to the stairwell. Along the way, Chi Yingxue was still reluctant to revenge. Kang Jinxin was really right about him: “What kind of revenge, it is not a person, how to know what to bite and what not to bite.”
Chi Yingxue looked awkward: “How do you speak for a snake?”
Kuang Jinxin glanced at him: “There are people who want to fight a snake with a shovel.”
Chi Yingxue: “…”
Kuang Jinxin: “Besides, that is a silver ring snake, especially poisonous, we can’t deal with it.”
Chi Yingxue: “You just took a cardboard box and buckled it.”
Kuang Jinxin: “It wants to bite you, how can I think so much.”
Chi Yingxue: “Little Four Gold.”
Kuang Jinxin: “Huh?”
Chi Yingxue: “Give me your mobile phone number, WeChat account and ID card number.”
As soon as the two entered the stairwell, they chatted here in a hurry.
Kuang Jinxin thought that he had listened, and asked again: “What?”
The stairwell is very quiet, with normal echoes.
“Mobile phone number, WeChat ID, ID card number, give me.” Chi Yingxue said a word, the voice was soft and cool, like summer sand ice, “we make a friend.”
Kuang Xin looked at him a little bit precautionaryly: “Is an ID number needed to make friends?”
“No friends, you use it.” Chi Yingxue blinked and took it for granted.
Kuang Jinxin found that he not only couldn’t keep up with the other party’s thinking, sometimes even the other party’s meaning was clouded. This person, like him, trapped in the strange circle of time, is neither in a hurry nor in a panic. His focus is always on some very delicate things. But it wasn’t against you deliberately, or playing with you, but … self.
He finally came up with a suitable word, yes, “self”. When people talk and do things, they will consider the environment, events, and the relationship between people and combine them to make appropriate behaviors. But this person does not, he will be helpless and envious with his mood.
“Brother,” Kuang Jinxin knows that the other party likes to call him like this, usually starting with this, the success rate of the communication is very optimistic, “Can we first find the fire to come over and deal with the snake, and then think about how to end the time backflow, wait for everything On track, add WeChat? “
Chi Yingxue: “There are also phone numbers and ID numbers.”
Kuang Jinxin: “Well, it’s all for you.”
Chi Yingxue does not like to wait, but occasionally, an exception can be made.
When Kang Jinxin made a fire alarm call, a business card was jammed in his hand. The phone was connected. He also saw the words on the business card-XX Brand Design Studio, Art Director, Chi Yingxue.
In the five minutes after arriving late this time, I found not only the shovel, but also the business card.
Time has gone back and insisted on having his name. Kang Jinxin didn’t know how to say that he was good, but when he thought about it, he thought it was pretty cute.
After making a fire alarm call, he finally felt a little more at ease and returned his thoughts back in time: “Why are we both?”
Chi Yingxue raised her eyebrows and was curious.
Choosing them, is there any connection between him and Xiao Sijin … Chi Yingxue quite likes this speculation.
“What do the countdown numbers mean? At‘ 0 ’, time will never run back again?” Kang Jinxin did n’t really want him to give the answer, but wanted to discuss the two together and brainstorm.
Chi Yingxue finally said: “Not necessarily, it may be‘ 0 ’, our two will be dead, really dead.”
“Then before‘ 0 ’, lived at 4:44 pm, can it end all this?” Kuang Jinxin always felt that the words on the cheat sheet were the most crucial clue to this matter.
Chi Yingxue just wanted to speak again, but upstairs came the sound of several people’s footsteps, a little messy.
He remembered the previous “accident” and immediately pulled Kuang Jinxin over to protect him.
Several security guards brought a man down, and the man’s face was fierce, and his eyes fell on Chi Yingxue.
Chi Yingxue is totally uninterested in this person who has already dealt with. The force value is scum, and the face value is more scum. He is interested in the leaflet in the hand of the security guard next to him-that dog head is quite charming.
The murderer came as scheduled, and Chi Yingxue made a precise shot. With the exclamation of the security guard, he closed his leg and naturally took the leaflet from the security guard.
He looked at the “dog head” and appreciated it very seriously.
Kuang Jinxin stretched his head out from behind his back, looking at the text. At the next moment, he couldn’t help but grabbed Chi Yingxue’s clothes.
Chi Yingxue frowned, only to see the contents of the leaflet, and immediately asked the security guard: “Where did the leaflet come from?”
The security guard had just re-subdued the murderers. He was afraid of this “one foot on the ground” building staff, and immediately answered truthfully: “There are three lunatics in the building. If it is too much today, there are not enough people. I got it! “
“Too many things?” Suddenly being touched by the sixth sense, Kang Jinxin asked.
“Yeah,” the security guard complained, apparently being tossed. “There is a man on the top of the building who wants to jump off the building, and a man with a knife downstairs looks for his rival. A man with a fierce look, full of depression, angered this person. “Grow your mother, don’t think you are carrying your mouth hard, what do you want to sneak into when an outsider sneaks in? You don’t hold your **** … “
The security guard screwed people and scolded downstairs.
Kuang Jinxin asked: “Brother, do you think these things have anything to do with going back in time?”
“Not sure,” Chi Yingxue rarely thought about, “Go to the tenth floor first.”
Kuang Jinxin: “Well.”
Let’s leave it alone for a while. Some people know the scarlet numbers and the owl head, this must be investigated.
The security guards and the murderer who had just come down a floor seemed to fight again, listening to the sound, not too fierce. After all, there were many security guards and it was not difficult to control the situation. But the two did not want to “cross the battlefield”, so as not to cause more trouble, and turned back to the corridor and took the elevator instead.
Unexpectedly, the elevator just got down to the 13th floor and stopped suddenly. Either someone pressed the elevator outside, or stopped without warning, and may not even be the 13th floor.
The lights in the elevator flickered and went out. There is also a key board, only the button for emergency contact, and a red light.
“… Power outage?” Kuang Jinxin touched his phone nervously, lit up the flashlight, and found Chi Yingxue standing stupefied, his face dazed, like he was lost.
Kuang Jinxin’s heart tightened, and somehow it made him more nervous than being trapped in the elevator. He almost didn’t want to think about it, so he hugged the person and coaxed the child to pat the other person’s back: “It’s okay, it’s okay, just a moment.”
Chi Yingxue recovered, inexplicably. He was just surprised by the power outage, and he was sure that he did not have any mood swings. He did n’t understand where Jin Xin saw that he needed “comfort”.
but……
Being gently patted like this is quite comfortable.
Chi Yingxue raised his hand around the person, gently rubbed the other person’s hair, and suddenly hoped that time would not go forward or back, and stopped here, just like the elevator, stopped all the time.
Unfortunately, as soon as I closed my eyes, I hadn’t had time to continue to enjoy it. A huge “bang” came from the top of my head, and the elevator car shook violently.
It seemed that something heavy fell into the elevator shaft and hit the top of the car. The two of them raised their heads subconsciously and closed the car completely, where they could see the outside.
Yu Yin quickly dissipated, but their hearts were raised in the quieter and quieter air.
“Xiao Sijin, take this picture.” Chi Yingxue raised his arm.
Kuang Jinxin hit the light immediately.
Chi Yingxue rummaged through the stationery box and finally ordered a [[anti] perspective wall>.
About seven or eight seconds later, under the gaze of Chi Yingxue, the car plate above the head gradually became transparent.
The more transparent, Kang Jinxin’s breathing became tighter, and in the end, his throat was too tight to breathe.
A **** girl was lying on the top of the car, her body twisted into a weird angle, her eyes were unwillingly open, and blood slowly poured out from her mouth and from her broken limbs, staining the name tag on her chest .
Lin Lin.
Kuang Jinxin couldn’t help but red his eyes, and he couldn’t believe the girl who smiled sweetly at herself not long ago.
Chi Yingxue narrowed her eyes slightly and caught the light above the elevator shaft through the crevices of the body.
There is only one possibility of light—the elevator doors are open.
17th floor? 18th floor? Chi Yingxue judges the position of the open elevator door by the position where the light penetrates, and the girl is likely to fall from the floor …
Do not.
Chi Yingxue’s eyes suddenly sharpened—a man was leaning out of the light and looking down.
It was too far away, and the light was not enough. He could not see the person’s appearance, but felt that the other party was not panicking. If you find an accident or find out, the person will instinctively have a lot of small movements, but the person’s probe comes out, and he will fix his gaze without even shaking his head.
The other party was watching. The person he pushed was dead.
The blood completely stained the top of the car with a “blood cover”, and suddenly the sound of a door smashed outside: “Is anyone inside–“
Kang Jinxin did not dare to respond, and Chi Yingxue was also silent.
“The elevator is faulty. I came from the building property for repairs. Now I have to pry the door. If there is someone inside, hide behind, don’t worry, it will soon–“
As Chi Yingxue’s gaze shifted, the elevator doors slowly became transparent.
Outside the door, a master in a gray coat is using tools to open the elevator doors, and the vicissitudes of his face are all worried and anxious.
Kuang Jinxin’s dangling heart finally let go.
The door opened quickly, and the master saw someone in it, with a look of consternation on his face: “Someone, how come I didn’t speak for so long.” Complaining, complaining, still pulled the two out.
Kuang Jingang just wanted to say Master Xie, Chi Yingxue suddenly pulled him behind, and asked lightly, “Master, why don’t you wear tooling?”
The gray coat froze for a moment, smiled, and suddenly pulled out a switchblade from his pocket. With one press, the blade popped out, stabbing from bottom to top toward Chi Yingxue. The whole action was done in one go, terribly skilled.
Chi Yingxue flashed by, and pushed Jin Xin away, grabbing the opponent’s arm with his backhand.
Unexpectedly, the other person turned around and broke free with skill.
Chi Yingxue frowned, this man was not easy to deal with.
Kuang Jinxin got up from the ground, and he already wanted to understand. Chi Yingxue could n’t even talk about “doubt”. If the other party really did n’t want to cause trouble, he would have to at least take a few words. To kill them, no matter if they see through his disguise!
“What are you doing–” A security guard ran sweating, “I’m letting people stop–“
Kuang Jinxin immediately greeted him: “He is going to kill us! Also, someone is in the elevator shaft …”
Before he finished, Kuang Jinxin lost his consciousness in the sound of electric shock.
Chi Yingxue found that the security guard took out the switchblade, but it was too late, and he was so distracted that he just gave the gray coat a chance to pierce his chest with a knife. He was in a trance in the pain.
…
Time 12:00, the number 8 outside the window.
This time, Chi Yingxue only took fifty seconds to catch Kuang Jinxin. Without a word, he took the person to the 10th floor.
Kuang Jinxin has the same idea-no matter who is in the know to ask something, he is going to make this series of “accidents” crazy.
“Don’t leave the beauty salon, don’t leave, don’t leave when you look for it!” Before leaving, he told Lin Lin almost thousands of people.
Lin Lin was confused, and watched him leave.
The two ran to the stairwell in one breath-they could not trust the elevator in a short time-did not stop, continued to run downstairs, but ran, and heard that someone upstairs was also running, and Anxious than the two of them, the footsteps were particularly heavy, “Kick Li Tala” heard people’s nerves inexplicably tense.
Chi Yingxue and Kuang Jinxin speeded up, and at the same time took their steps lightly, and finally ran to the 10th floor, quickly leaving the elevator.
I thought it would be completely staggered from the “unknown person” behind him, but unexpectedly the two of them just entered the corridor with their front feet, and the person’s hind feet also followed.
The two of them turned back immediately, and the whole body was alert. The man also saw them and hurriedly braked quickly.
“Did you see the leaflet coming ?!” The man opened his mouth first, his voice trembling, not malicious, but rather excited.
Chi Yingxue and Kuang Jinxin looked at each other and raised their arms in unison, highlighting the icon. The difference was that one was lifted diagonally, freehand, and the other was obediently raised, like answering questions in class.
Qian Ai was really surprised this time. Unexpectedly, Wu Sheng’s move was really effective, and it worked quickly. He immediately raised his arm and showed the owl: “Classmates, we are classmates!”
Kuang Jinxin: “… ah?”
Qian Ai stepped forward and drew close to each other with enthusiasm: “Wu Sheng said, we are now in a test room and taking the same test.”
Kuang Jinxin feels goodwill and enthusiasm for this person, and unconsciously took some precautions: “Who is Wu Sheng?”
“People like us, uh …” Qian Ai hesitated, still a little bit fragile, and honestly made up a condition, “not IQ, just like us.”
“And Xu Wang,” he continued, “also taking this exam.”
Kuang Jinxin heard a little chaos: “You always say exams, what exactly do you take?”
“Just test this,” Qian Ai opened the cheat sheet, and highlighted the sentence, “This is our test.”
Kuang Jinxin suddenly realized that at this moment, it was understood.
“How many people are there?” Chi Yingxue asked suddenly.
“Five,” Qian Ai told the truth. “You add me, and the two of them. So far we are five, and there are others.”
“Five …” Chi Yingxue pointed to his arm, “Are all owl patterns?”
Qian Ai nodded: “Yes.”
Chi Yingxue raised her eyebrows and wondered seriously: “Why do you draw a dog head on the flyer?”
“…” Such a torture of the soul, Qian Ai felt that he and the painter Wu himself could not answer, Xu Xu came.
