Chapter 30: Back to the 3rd floor
Zhao Long raised his wrist to look at his watch again.
"It's less than two hours since the Blood Word mission started, we still have time! Moreover, Ge Qi just died, which means that we'll have an interval of time. We, it's not particularly urgent yet!"
Earlier, Zhao Long had been worried, fearing that he would be the next victim. Fortunately, the person who was suffering now was Ge Qi! And once Ge Qi died, for Zhao Long, he would be able to have an extra interval of survival!
Zhao Long what he was thinking at the moment was that Ge Qi was probably just like Feng Yu right now, completely losing himself and walking to the 4th floor as if he was possessed by an evil spirit. And then only regained consciousness when he was on the verge of death. And from the time Feng Yu entered the 4th floor to his final death, the interval was extremely short!
Dong Xie was actually just as scared in his heart, but, to solve the problem now, not going to the 4th floor was obviously unrealistic. It was just that Zhao Long's words did have a few points of truth to them as well.
"However, the police cannot be utilized! In that case, what's the difference between what we're doing and Ge Qi?" Dong Xie still resisted this approach.
"Even so ……"
For a while, the three people's opinions diverged greatly. Ge Qi's death had given Zhao Long the idea that he would still be alive for some time to come, and this idea made him unwilling to take the risk right away. After all, there were still more than three hours until the end of the Bloodletter Quest. This, to him, was quite favorable. Moreover, Zhao Long realized that deep down in his heart, he actually wanted the police to come over.
"Listen, when Ge Qi called the police, he clearly indicated that there might be a killing incident, so the chances of the police that come out with guns will be high. Although firing a gun can't kill an evil spirit, as long as the gunshot is heard, even if you stay on other floors, you can hear it and can tell if the police are still alive or not. Then, we can also ……"
"You shut up!" Speaking here, Dong Xie revealed an uncontrollable rage, "How can we do this?"
The siblings, Dong Xie and Dong Ning, resolutely rejected this idea of his without even the slightest bit of hesitation. When Zhao Long saw the siblings take such a stance, he actually admired the siblings' three views in his heart, but admiration was admiration, but he himself couldn't be that high-minded.
But just at this time, they suddenly heard a voice from not far away.
"Building 3 …… alarm is here."
Hearing this voice, they all froze at once!
"Quickly hide!"
The three immediately ran to the corner of the building on one side and hid.
"The police are here ……" This time, Dong Qi also realized that everything could not be stopped, and it was impossible for them to go out and explain the situation to the police now. And they can't go out and explain the situation to the police now. In reality, the police are not as incompetent and easy to fool as they are in the movies, and if they are not careful, they will be treated as suspects.
Then, they heard footsteps.
"The hallway here is so dark ah ……"
"Luckily this place isn't too far from the police station."
The police station was actually nearby?
Dong Xie was also completely unaware of this, and when he checked the map, he completely missed it. No wonder the police came so quickly.
Zhao Long, on the other hand, asked in disbelief, "Strange …… how come I didn't hear the police car horn?"
Dong Xie then replied, "The police don't always sound like a police movie when they go out to the police, isn't it the same as letting the criminals escape if they do that every time? For example, when encountering a red light, or traffic jam will be so."
"So that's how it is ……"
The reason why Dong Xie knew this was also because after he had familiarized himself with the traffic police captain in the beginning, he had asked him quite a few specific questions about the police, and only then did he realize that there were actually really a lot of fallacies in ordinary people's understanding of the police.
At this moment, they were all very nervous, not daring to stick their heads out to look around. After all, this wasn't like inside a movie, where the protagonist peeks his head out from the corner to peek in and no one will ever see, even if the building was dark, they didn't dare to bet on it.
They then heard the sound of the elevator doors opening. The two policemen entered the elevator, and then the elevator doors closed.
"Whew……"
The three of them looked at each other in dismay, now, the police had come, so, what should they do?
Dong Xie handed over all the photos to Zhao Long and Dong Ning, then took out a key from within his pocket.
"Let's …… go to the 3rd floor first. I think it's likely that the police will be fine as well, they're not the occupants after all, and isn't this Bloodletter mission to exclude other unrelated people?"
"Let's hope so." Dong Ning clenched his hand as he said this, "Damn Ge Qi! I wish him eighteen layers of hell!"
Afterwards, Dong Qi, Dong Ning and Zhao Long walked out from the corner and slowly came to the elevator entrance. At this time, the police had already gone to the 4th floor. Dong Xie held the key and said, "Let's hurry to the 3rd floor!"
"Then ……"
"With a little luck we can pick up those two cops! I don't want them to die!"
"Well, I also hope that they survive," Zhao Long also nodded, "so that we can get first-hand information from them."
The three of them then rushed towards the stairwell, then rushed towards the 3rd floor as fast as they could! Ge Qi's death had given them a period of time for a safe interval. Therefore, they ran very fast, relatively not worried about encountering "those things" again.
After running to the 3rd floor, they quickly arrived in front of the room, and Dong Qi quickly took out the key and opened the door.
"Quickly, go in first!"
This time, there wasn't as much preoccupation as the first time they went in, and thanks to the short safety period brought about by Ge Qi's death.
Only after running to the living room did they start to catch their breath. At this point …… those two cops, they should be up there.402 It's just something Ge Qi made up, but then again, there are rooms here, some of them have door numbers above the doors, and some of them don't have any at all. The two cops likely wouldn't be able to find it at all.
All three of them practically looked up at the ceiling above their heads.
"I hope the apartment doesn't kill them." Dong Ning's eyes revealed a look of earnestness at this time, she really didn't want the bloodletter mission to involve innocent people dying.
At this time, upstairs, there was still no movement.
Once Ge Qi died, the lighter was also gone. The entire living room, was filled with darkness and depression. The three people were almost all physically close together.
Five minutes passed, ten minutes passed …… twenty minutes passed ……
Zhao Long walked to the window of the living room and looked at the watch on his wrist with the help of the moonlight outside.
"It's already almost two o'clock in the morning …… There's still nothing moving up there. Not right ah, when Feng Yu died, the screams here heard clearly."
If the police encountered "those things" and chose to shoot, then the sound of gunfire must also be heard here. But there was no sound at all.
So, the three of them went back to the kitchen, and Dong Qi opened the door a small crack and looked out into the hallway. At the other end of the corridor was where the elevator was.
"Still no movement."
This time, they all panicked.
What exactly was happening on the 4th floor right now?
