Chapter 0230 Lao Ke, are you the mastermind behind this?
Hearing that there were a large number of ambushes on the first and second floors, Luo Chu suddenly felt his scalp numb.
No wonder the road was unimpeded. Ganqing deliberately created this illusion of ease and arranged a deadly ambush on the two lowest floors.
In other words, Jiang Yue's previous guess was completely correct. Ever since they entered this building, they had no intention of letting them out.
Luo Chu, in turn, wrote on Jiang Yue's palm: "How to break it?"
"To capture the thief, capture the king first."
Jiang Yue patted the back of Luo Chu's hand, indicating not to talk for the time being. He lit the fire again and lit Luo Chu's remaining torch.
"Luo Chu, Mr. Ke is missing. There are only a few torches left, so we should use them sparingly. It seems that we have to stay up until dawn tomorrow at least to have any hope."
"Are these few torches enough?" Luo Chu knew that Jiang Yue spoke deliberately, and there must be a reason for it, so he followed his tone and said.
"So use it sparingly and put it out when not in use."
"It's not an option to wander around like this, Xiao Jiang, we have to find a way. If the child comes back on Friday, he should be here by now!"
Jiang Yue sighed: "I hope he doesn't come back tonight!"
The two of them talked at a normal speaking speed and volume, and they didn't sound artificial or fake.
Jiang Yue was actually worried that the young man would come back at this point, but he really had no choice at the moment. It was obviously unrealistic to go to the first floor to intercept him.
With the ambush on the first floor, the pile could kill both of them.
Let alone Luo Chu, even if Jiang Yue were to go it alone and have nothing to worry about, he didn't dare to say that he would definitely be able to get out.
The two walked out of the apartment and returned to the corridor.
Luo Chu asked again: "What should we do now? Find a safe place to hide?"
"Safe? This whole building is under the surveillance of the other party. It's really hard to say where it is absolutely safe. However, Mr. Ke and the old director disappeared strangely. Maybe you can consider looking for them first?"
Looking for Mr. Ke?
Luo Chu was a little surprised. Based on Jiang Yue's attitude towards Mr. Ke, he obviously didn't care much about the other person's life or death. At this time, he proposed to go to Mr. Ke, but it was obviously just lip service.
However, Luo Chu understood the idea and nodded: "Lao Ke came with us after all. It really makes no sense not to look for him."
Mr. Ke disappeared on the 18th floor.
To find him, you have to start from the 18th floor.
Just as Luo Chu guessed, there was no problem going upstairs. Except for the power outage, it seemed that the building had really returned to normal.
The ghosts have also gone dormant? The evil spirits have also left? The bad guys have also fallen asleep?
However, Luo Chu felt increasingly unsure.
This kind of calmness was weird. The calmer it was, the more uneasy Luo Chu felt.
Occasionally harassed or made trouble? Luo Chu thought it was more normal.
In the blink of an eye, they reached the 18th floor, and Jiang Yue and Luo Chu arrived at Apartment No. 1811 again.
Is the lock on the security door broken? Is there no need to close the door? Simply leave it open and maintain a consistent view of the inside and outside.
The remaining torch in Luo Chu's hand was about to burn to the end. Seeing that the fire was getting dimmer, he was considering whether to replace it with a new one.
At this moment? There was a bang outside the corridor? It seemed like something fell heavily.
Almost at the same time, there was an exclamation.
The voice sounded like it was Mr. Ke.
"Oh, what a fool! You're going to kill me!"
Sure enough, it was Mr. Ke's voice, grunting, as if he had fallen somewhere.
Luo Chu looked at Jiang Yue in surprise.
Jiang Yue nodded lightly as if he had expected it.
This made Luo Chu feel incredible. He said he was looking for Mr. Ke? Jiang Yue actually came directly to Apartment 1811 and waited? Did he expect Mr. Ke to show up at this time?
Or is this all just a coincidence?
But Luo Chu didn't ask.
The silence speaks.
While Luo Chu was thinking, Jiang Yue had already stood up from the sofa and rushed out of the room to the corridor.
"Lao Ke?"
When Mr. Ke heard Jiang Yue's voice, he was immediately overjoyed: "It's me? It's me! Haven't you left yet? Great, damn, I'm already dead this time!"
"Are you still yelling? Do you think you can't die quickly enough?" Jiang Yue scolded.
At this time, Mr. Ke had already gotten up from the ground with a groan and kept rubbing his butt. Obviously, the bang just now was indeed him falling.
It looks like he fell from the ceiling?
The approximate location turned out to be the area where he disappeared previously.
Luo Chu held up the torch in surprise, looked up and down, and couldn't help but ask: "Old Ke, didn't you fall from the ceiling?"
Mr. Ke said depressedly: "Do you believe it or not? It's really a ghost. I'm hanging from the ceiling. I keep seeing you walking around here. Why don't you save me?"
Luo Chu said in surprise: "Impossible! We heard your screams for help before, but the sounds were getting farther and farther away and were not here at all."
"What the hell? I've been at the top the whole time and haven't moved! And I can always see you, as you go up and down the stairs. By the way, I've seen people come and heard gunshots. You're okay.
Bar?"
Jiang Yue said, "Okay, don't be too busy talking about this now. This is all a cover-up used by your opponent. What you hear and see may not be true. Just be fine."
"I don't mean it's okay..." Mr. Ke couldn't help rubbing his butt and limping.
"It's good that I'm not dead."
Jiang Yue rolled his eyes and said.
Mr. Ke was depressed and said awkwardly: "Have you found a way out?"
"The only way out is this corridor, but we always felt that there was something wrong with this ghost building, so we didn't go down to the ground floor. We can think with our toes that the other party will definitely not let us leave easily."
Mr. Ke muttered: "So this is still your guess. If you don't go down, how do you know you can't leave? You will know after you try it!"
"If you want to try, go ahead and try. Let's continue to divide the troops into two groups. You go down and try, and we'll look for it again?" Jiang Yue looked at Mr. Ke with a half-smile but not a smile.
Mr. Ke shrank his head and asked him to act alone, even if he was beaten to death.
"Forget it, we have come all the way, and we still have to go all the way. It is impossible to fight alone!"
The fear of death was said so clearly that Luo Chu was secretly amused.
"Lao Ke, where is your torch?"
Mr. Ke touched his back and found nothing.
"Damn it, gone!"
After Mr. Ke got the idea, he cursed and suddenly thought of something. He lowered his voice and said, "By the way, I remembered something. I was hanging from the ceiling just now, and I seemed to see Old Dong passing by this floor."
"you sure?"
"I shouldn't be mistaken. It's Lao Dong. This grandson was all pretending before. I saw that he moved freely and his hands and feet were light. He didn't look like the coward before. I dare say that this kid must be the same as the one behind the scenes.
The black hand is related. It is very likely that he is the mastermind behind it!"
Jiang Yue and Luo Chu looked at each other in surprise.
Old Dong?
He looked so sick and could die at any time if a gust of wind blew over him. Could he be the mastermind behind this?
"It's unfounded, and I even said you might be the mastermind behind it! Lao Ke, who knows if this is your plan?" Jiang Yue suddenly asked coldly.
"Me?" Mr. Ke's expression changed, "I'm a victim too, am I planning it? I came with you, okay?"
"Just because you come with us, doesn't it mean you can't make plans?"
"How? I didn't know it beforehand? Did I know that you were coming to my company to find me? Did you know that you were going to find clues about the old director from me?"
"These can be accidental, and it does not affect the inference that you are the mastermind behind the scenes. Do you think we didn't ask you to come with us at first, but you took the initiative to take us to find the old director, right? You took us several times
Finally, when it was getting late, we were brought to the Yinyuan Apartment. After we came up for the first time, we had already gone downstairs. If you said you saw the old Dong appearing by the window, was that you?"
Jiang Yue said this casually, which made Luo Chu's heart skip a beat.
Such an analysis does make some sense.
Thinking about it now, except for the two of them taking the initiative to approach Mr. Ke, everything that happened later seemed to have been initiated by Mr. Ke.
Isn’t this guy really the mastermind behind the scenes?
This shows how crazy you are pretending to be, and how stupid you are when you sell it!
Ke summed up and stammered: "Luo Chu, you don't believe his nonsense, do you? If I were a gangster, why on earth would I have suffered so much? Why would I still come to find you?"
"There is a trick, and it's the bitter meat trick." Jiang Yue said calmly.
"Look, along the way, you've been acting crazy time and time again, and the other side has had countless opportunities to kill you. Why have you been so peaceful until now? And you can still join us?"
Mr. Ke quipped: "Didn't you say that I was a pig teammate before? Maybe the other party is counting on me, a pig teammate, to hold you back?"
"So you're really not the mastermind?"
"No, how the hell could I be! I swear on the name of my wife, children, and children, if I am the mastermind behind this, our whole family will die. Is this okay?"
Mr. Ke was probably in a hurry, so he even made use of his oaths and oaths. Moreover, he also did so in the name of the whole family, which made Jiang Yue feel a little embarrassed to say anything.
"Forget it, Xiao Jiang, now is not the time to be suspicious. I think it's really unlikely that Lao Ke is the mastermind behind this." Luo Chu tried to smooth things over.
Jiang Yue had no expression on his face and nodded.
"Let's go."
Mr. Ke snorted as if he was angry: "You guys can't even notice if someone takes me away while I'm walking. This time, I'm either going to go in front or I'm going to go behind."
"Then you go to the front." Jiang Yue said calmly.
Mr. Ke was stunned and immediately wanted to regret it. But under Jiang Yue's sharp gaze, he still shut up and said angrily: "Just walk in front, what am I afraid of?"
"Give me the torch!"
Go ahead and grab a torch of course.
Luo Chu handed the torch to Mr. Ke.
"Where to go?" Mr. Ke asked loudly, as if to embolden himself.
"Go take a look at the top floor."
"Going to the top floor?" Mr. Ke paused in his steps and looked a little weird.
"What? You stand high on the top floor and can see far. Maybe you can find a way to leave?"
"What can be done from the top floor? Is it possible to jump from the 30th floor?"
Jiang Yue smiled, he could really jump from the 30th floor. But this place is so weird, whether he can be allowed to jump is a question.
"Are you scared?" Jiang Yue asked with a smile.
"Afraid! But I'm overthinking it. Anyway, the most you can do is die. Just die. If you dare to go, what can't I dare to do?"
It seemed that Mr. Ke was indeed angry with Jiang Yue.
"It's normal for people who have died not to be afraid of death." Jiang Yue suddenly said inexplicably.
Mr. Ke's body trembled slightly: "What did you say?"
"Didn't I make it clear enough? People who have died, why should they be afraid of death? Have you ever seen dead people afraid of death?"
"Boy, what exactly do you want to say?"
"Mr. Ke, why do I think you look nervous?" Jiang Yue asked.
"You're so nervous. You're blaming Sang and Huai. Don't think I don't know you're targeting me."
"It seems that you are not stupid. Until you clear the suspicion, I still insist that you are the mastermind behind this. So, this is a reasonable doubt. Don't beep with me unless you show actual actions to prove it.
"
"Okay, I will prove it to you!"
Mr. Ke said and walked upstairs angrily.
Luo Chu looked a little stupid.
He was really a little confused at the moment. He didn't know whether Jiang Yue really suspected Mr. Ke, or was he deliberately creating the illusion of internal strife to confuse the ghosts who might be lurking in the dark?
Every time I go up a floor, I still follow the old rules and search the corridors.
After a while, we arrived at the 30th floor.
Mr. Ke took the lead and was about to patrol the corridor according to the old rules, but Jiang Yue said: "No need to go around, it's right here."
Jiang Yue stopped at the door of an apartment.
"Mr. Ke, what do you want to say about this apartment?"
Mr. Ke's expression suddenly changed and he hissed: "Are you really sick? What are you doing against me?"
"You just came out of this place, don't you want to say a few words? The wounds on your body are still bleeding, right? Look, the blood has seeped to the ground."
Mr. Ke looked down subconsciously, but there was no blood anywhere?
He immediately realized that Jiang Yue had tricked him.
With a roar, the torch hit Jiang Yue's face.
Jiang Yue caught it and kicked Mr. Ke in the chest. Mr. Ke flew backwards.
But the next moment, Mr. Ke's body jumped up like a spring, approaching step by step. His face, which was still flushed, turned blue and black in a second, as if it was dyed.
Terrible and terrifying.
Strange black lines appeared on the cheeks of the green-black haired figure, which continued to expand and break.
And the clothes on his body were inflating like an inflated balloon.
This strange change made Deluo Chu's expression change drastically.
puff!
All the clothes on Mr. Ke's body exploded, and he was completely naked. His whole body seemed to have been catalyzed, and he had grown to at least two meters tall.
The muscles all over his body are bulging and the lines are scary, making him look like a devilish muscular man.
However, the outer layer of the muscles was actually covered with centipede-like wounds, and there were signs of stitches on them.
It looks like countless pieces of body tissue have been sewn together with needles and threads to form such a weird muscular man!
"Luo Chu, take it easy!"
As Jiang Yue spoke, his body flew up and punched the opponent's temple with his left hand.
The mutated version of "Mr. Ke" looked up to the sky and roared like a tiger. He waved his thick arms like mechanical arms and punched out directly towards the oncoming Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue seemed to have expected it, his body suddenly slipped like a loach, passed under his armpits, and wrapped his legs around Mr. Ke's waist.
The torch in his right hand was inserted into Mr. Ke's open mouth with great precision.
This poke actually hit the throat directly, causing a real deep throat.
