The Way To Escape the Scum - Chapter 4
This old house is located on the fourth floor, with two bedrooms and one living room, about 80 square meters. In the bedroom on the left lived Ayu and another woman, both seniors with seniority. The two-person room was usually locked during the day; the bedroom on the right lived in the backbone of Ajie and the elderly, with bunk beds in the eight-person room. There’s still room for some of your own clothes. As for the remaining seven or eight little guys, they could only curl up and squeeze in the living room on the floor.
Sorry? Of course it was uncomfortable, and it could even be said to be an unbearable harsh environment for ordinary people. But day after day of spiritual hypnosis, I was taught that “Heaven will hand down great responsibilities to people, and they must first suffer their will and work their muscles and bones.” .
Ling Yun is still in the newcomer surveillance period, but because he has already subscribed and performed well, Ayu asked Ajie to take him to the bedroom on the right to sleep. This arrangement naturally also facilitated Ling Xiao, who carried out the plan alone at night.
The door is locked during the day to prevent people from fishing in troubled waters, and it is not locked at night. I am afraid that Ayu knows that the fire protection facilities and escape facilities here are completely inadequate. In case of a fire, the lock in this bedroom will become a reminder.
Ling Xiao skillfully put her ear to the door, listening carefully through the thin wooden board.
There were two even breathing sounds from inside. She kept this position for a long time and didn’t move until it was completely confirmed that the two were asleep, and then she blocked the door with her body and pushed hard with one hand. The hand gently turns the door handle.
“Crack-“
Ling Xiao hurriedly turned sideways, slid in through the narrow gap, and closed the door with her back to prevent anyone walking around in the living room and discovering that it was abnormal.
The bedroom is not big, at most seven or eight square meters, and there is a bunk shelf in the innermost, A Yu and another person are sleeping soundly. The table is directly opposite the door, and there are some books, toiletries, scattered sundries, etc. on it, in a mess.
Of course, compared to the living room, the environment here is at least a place for people. It can be seen that no matter where and how bad the conditions are, the gap between classes always exists.
The thin curtains let through a little moonlight, and Ling Xiao used this light to see the two small drawers under the table. Reached out and tried to pull, but sure enough it was locked.
The system suddenly thought: “If you change into tights, do you look like the black classmate in Conan?”
Ling Xiao: “You can shut up.”
This kind of lock is a rod lock that comes with the table, and there are only two lock springs in it. In fact, the confidentiality is not high. Most families use it to keep some documents or a diary in the children’s room. Inexperienced ordinary people can use various tools to open it for a long time, while professional thieves only need about twenty seconds with iron pieces.
Probably Ayu and the others didn’t expect that there would be a newcomer who would rashly come here in the middle of the night to steal things.
Ling Xiao smoothed two soft steel wires from the steel ball in the kitchen at noon. She twisted a thread into the keyhole, put her ears close, listened to the sound of the groove inside, and adjusted the subtle position.
Three seconds later, she withdrew her hand.
System: “Started?”
Ling Xiao: “It’s over.”
System: “Yo, it went so well, it seems that our first mission will be over tonight!”
As soon as these words came out, Ling Xiao smelled a familiar and dangerous flag.
Before the battlefield in the last world, the system also said the same, and then the big cow in the same team suddenly said to her inexplicably “after this battle, go back to your hometown and marry a wife”, and then…
Ling Xiao: Crowmouth, please be a little self-aware!
She held her breath and gently opened the drawer.
Small space came into view, I saw a dozen ID cards on the left, and the newcomer’s mobile phone on the right.
Yi Shui’er’s smart phones look exactly the same, one, two, three, four, five.
Ling Xiao:…
What’s going on! It seems that the consciousness of those people in the living room has not yet fully trusted the organization!
I thought it was her cell phone alone, oh, and Lingyun, who was new tonight, who would have thought of this, and it would take so much effort.
Being a thief in the middle of the night means every minute counts. Ling Xiao didn’t bother to look for the ID card, and quickly opened the lock screen interface of all five mobile phones.
“Oops, which is the correct phone? I really don’t have any data on this,” the system added a joke to itself, “Even if there is, it can’t be provided to you in violation of regulations, how can this be? Do it.”
Ling Xiao didn’t even bother to give it to him, so he tried fingerprint unlocking one by one.
System: …Yes.
I’m sorry, I wanted to have a gorgeous reasoning, but the age of technology is so convenient, and there is no room for hydrology.
Ling Xiao found her phone as quickly as possible, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Thanks for the accurate GPS positioning, the map clearly shows that this is Building 2, Sunshine Community, X District, Haicheng, very detailed.
Anyway, it is estimated that there are problems with the entire floor or even the building, as long as you know these things, it is enough to notify the police to quickly come and wipe out the rest.
It is naturally impossible to make a phone call, but the government has long since popularized the SMS alarm platform, so that in this special case, the victim can have the opportunity to call for help silently.
There is only one chance. Ling Xiao opened the text message interface, entered the number, and started editing, including important information such as location and number of people. The content will attract great attention from the police.
When this text message is sent, she will put the phone back in place, go back to the broken floor in the living room, pretend that nothing happened, and quietly wait for the police to arrive to end it all—
However, she did not notice that behind her, the dilapidated door was slightly loose, and turned inward a little, leaving a gap of about one centimeter.
One centimeter, in a closed space, is likely to be the distance between life and death.
Boom, boom, boom.
Heavy footsteps sounded like thunder.
The footsteps sounded from far to near, passing through the living room, the sound became clearer and clearer, as if they were coming here.
“Shit! Someone’s here!” shouted the system.
Ling Xiao didn’t mess around, but turned off the screen, held the phone tightly, and held his breath to confirm the direction of the person coming.
Boom, boom, boom, it’s getting closer.
It is true that he is not rushing to the toilet, but is walking towards this bedroom step by step.
Her eyes fell on the crack of the door that she did not know when she loosened.
Found.
There is no escape, and there is no hiding place in this small bedroom. The voice was close to his ears, and a hand slowly stretched out from the door.
Here they come.
“Are you sure you want to delete this post?”
Ling Xiao made a decisive decision, quickly opened the mobile phone interface, swiped his finger a few times, looked at the unedited message, and calmly chose “Yes”.
“Squeaky—”
At the same time, the door was opened.
Fight eyes.
The pale light of the screen hit Ling Xiao’s face, and those eyes, which were normal in the daytime, seemed to emit a faint green light. It was clearly a captured prey, but it was lurking in the dark like a wolf, quietly waiting for the moment of counter-kill to come.
Ling Yun couldn’t help shivering.
He had messy red hair, rubbed his eyes, and looked at this “little” girl, who he had a good impression of, and a good face, confused and puzzled.
Strange, isn’t she sleeping in the living room?
“Why are you here?!”
Applejack stepped out from behind him and turned on the light switch. In an instant, the bedroom was as bright as day, and there was nowhere to hide all the movements.
Seeing the uninvited guest leaning against the table and holding the mobile phone, he seemed to realize something suddenly, strode forward, grabbed the mobile phone fiercely, and shouted sharply:
“Ling Xiao, what are you doing?!”
Who?
Ling Yun’s drowsiness disappeared instantly.
He reacted for a few seconds, then stunned, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and pointed to the little girl who looked indifferent.
“Brother Jie, what do you call her?”
“Ling, Ling Xiao??”
“…Sister?!”
————
Sunshine Community is a worker community built in the 1900s. It adopts an old-fashioned corridor structure. It is short and narrow, humid and hot, and there is almost no air circulation. One family is next to another, and only a dim yellow light bulb illuminates the winding passage. Many people’s houses are covered with red, green and green water and electricity notices, showing that they have been uninhabited for a long time. The rest of the door was closed, and no one walked around in the empty passage, but there seemed to be two strong men on duty at the connection of the passage.
An ant nest-like, great location.
Ling Xiao only looked up at the surrounding environment, and was forcibly pulled into a low room next door, and fell into it.
Newcomers who are disobedient will be locked up in the “study room” for rotational education.
The so-called “study room” is actually a storage room of three or four square meters. The mottled white walls, the pitted concrete floor, and no windows are sealed. Under the high temperature of 30 degrees, it is as oppressive as a steamer. There are no tables or chairs, and the people who are locked in are curled up alone in the dark to “reflect”. From time to time, someone goes in for one-on-one brainwashing.
Ayu was still wearing suspender pajamas. She stood side by side with Ajie, looking down at Ling Xiao condescendingly, her tone was cold and full of oppression.
“In the middle of the night, what are you trying to do in my room to steal a mobile phone?”
Ajie squeezed his hands tightly, and his joints made a “squeaky” sound. It seemed that whether Ling Xiao said “yes” or “no”, he couldn’t wait to step forward to inflict violence.
“Tell me!”
The system will popularize science in the mind in a timely manner.
“In this mission world, MLM is divided into the southern faction and the northern faction. The northern faction is used to control violence by means of detention, beating, etc., while the southern faction is good at using the Huairou policy to control the mind. Very Obviously, the organization we have fallen into should be a centrist that precedes rituals and then soldiers…”
Ling Xiao: It’s the same as the martial arts sect of Jianghu, aren’t they all criminal scum?
She didn’t show any expression of repentance and fear. Instead, she looked like she was aggrieved, and asked blankly, “Sister Ayu, what did I do wrong?”
Ayu sneered: “Playing stupid with me? I can’t see that you are quite scheming. Why, you want to call the police? Ajie, show her the phone! If you are not honest, give me death. beat!”
Ajie took out Ling Xiao’s mobile phone from her pocket, grabbed her right hand, and forced the fingerprint to unlock. He first swiped the call records, and the last call was with Brother Cheng. After a pause, he opened WeChat to check again, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
No trace of contact with outsiders at all.
Ayu frowned, thinking more comprehensively: “What about the text message? Isn’t there something wrong with the police?”
“No logging and background not open.”
Is it possible that the record has been deleted after the alarm has been successfully completed?
However, this 18-year-old girl would never have such courage and experience!
did nothing!”
“Besides, why should I call the police? Tomorrow I will borrow money from Brother Cheng to purchase, and I will become a multi-millionaire!”
“Woooooo, people just guessed that the phone was in the bedroom, and wanted to secretly take it out to log in to the game. I haven’t done today’s task yet.”
Ling Xiao cried so hard, and the system heard the hair all over her body: “It’s almost done, don’t act too much.”
Ajie checked it carefully again, and the latest interface on the backstage was really a girly dress-up game.
Ayu keenly found the problem and asked, “How did you open the drawer?”
Ling Xiao was more puzzled than she was: “How did you open it? It was originally opened, and there was no lock at all.”
Ajay scratched his head. Having said that, it seems that I forgot to lock it when I put it back on my phone during the day. After all, I am not that careful.
In the final analysis, it seems that the newcomer is ignorant and a false alarm.
“It doesn’t seem to be lying. What should I do, it’s so late, do I have to notify the Disciplinary Officer?”
He finally calmed down and yawned, wanting to end the farce early and go back to sleep.
Ayu shook her head.
She is an experienced person, and this explanation has not completely dispelled her doubts.
Is Ling Xiao really just a child who wants to play with his mobile phone in the middle of the night? Did Applejack really forget to lock the drawer during the day?
She doesn’t quite believe it.
However, the position of team leader has been vacant for a long time. Only the last one, the last one. If Ling Xiao can successfully borrow money for subscription tomorrow morning—
She is the new team leader.
Yes, this little guy has value for himself.
The desire for promotion finally prevailed, Ayu hesitated for a moment, then slowly said:
“Ling Xiao, you are a smart boy.”
The corners of her mouth grinned a little, her attitude became gentle, and it was especially scary in the dim light.
“Are you freaked out just now? It’s not that Ayu doesn’t believe you, but we behave like this. I won’t report the matter tonight to the Disciplinary Director, otherwise you will suffer. “
“However, until tomorrow morning, you can stay here obediently. Everyone will take turns to teach you what to do and what not to do.”
Of course, if you fail to borrow money, if you really dare to lie and betray, then…
In the past, it was not without the dead.
Sugar and whip, care and deterrence, domesticated loyalty and madness.
Ling Xiao chicken nodded as if pecking at rice, wiped away her tears, and showed a timid smile.
“I will learn from you.”
Ayu nodded in satisfaction.
The door was locked from the outside, the only light was off, and the prison-like room was plunged into total darkness.
The turbulent night has returned to peace.
The heat wave has nowhere to dissipate, Ling Xiao sticks to the cold wall, absorbing the only trace of coolness. She tried her best to breathe the cramped air, closed her eyes slowly, and maintained her strength.
No way back?
How can a real hunter not leave behind for himself?
Closed study room, brainwashing in turn… Rather, it is exactly what she wants.
The corners of her mouth showed a faint smile.
“PlanB, on.”
