Chapter 25: Tiger’s Den and Tiger’s Son
As a matter of fact, there was another very important reason why Dong Xie did not approve of staying on the 1st floor.
At this point, the four of them decided to go upstairs first, and by this time, they were getting closer to room 104!
This was the reason why Dong Xie was unwilling to stay on this floor!
Just as they were about to walk to room 104, suddenly …… inside room 104, there was the sound of …… twisting a door handle!
All four of them changed color in unison, and immediately after, the door opened!
They didn't even react!
The door opened, but there was no silhouette inside the door!
Dong Xie immediately subconsciously blocked in front of Dong Ning, and Ge Qi was about to take a step to escape, but he realized that none of the other three had fled.
"Let's go in ……!"
Dong Ning uttered these words aloud! And Dong Qi and Zhao Long actually didn't even retort.
"Keep guessing," Zhao Long stared at the door with a deadly stare, "The situation is obvious now, without entering the tiger's den, how can we get the tiger's son!"
Yes, without entering the tiger's den, how do you get the tiger's son! Everyone understood the reasoning, but no one was willing to take the huge risk of losing their lives.
Someone must guard the door. One person to guard it, then it must be scared.
Guessing decides who guards the door and who goes in. Fair enough.
If you die, you can only blame your own bad luck. At this point, everyone clearly understood one thing, they never got the real "tiger"!
Ge Qi looked at the other three gradually determined eyes, immediately said: "Can not rotate? I went in just now, now ……."
However, how could Dong Xie adopt Ge Qi's argument, in which case Ning would have to go in! He immediately denied, "Can the dangers of 104 and the 3rd floor room be the same?"
Ge Qi was really speechless, was Dong Qi really not afraid of death? If he went in 104, who knew if he had the life to come back alive?
"Let's put it this way." Dong Xie added, "If Ah Ning loses the guess, then I'll take the initiative to accompany her in! This is fine with you, right?"
The moment these words came out, Zhao Long and Ge Qi were both dumbfounded.
Zhao Long couldn't help but take a closer look at Dong Xie, although he had seen that Dong Xie was a sister controller, he didn't expect it to come to this. In the real world, let alone involving life and death, just involving property was enough to turn siblings against each other! And Dong Xie said this with a firm and unhesitating voice!
"No way, brother! I ……"
But Dong Xie quickly raised his fist, not giving Dong Ning time to think. If she didn't come out, she was automatically losing, and then no matter what the outcome of this round of guessing was, Dong Xie would accompany her in!
Helpless, Dong Ning could only come out.
In the first round of guessing, Dong Xie scissors, Zhao Long and Ge Qi are cloth, and Dong Ning is stone. No winners or losers.
"Again!"
This time, he quickly continued out, not giving Dong Ning time!
"Rock, scissors, cloth!"
This time, Dong Xie rock, Zhao Long, Ge Qi and Dong Ning all scissor!
Thus, the winner continued to decide a victor amongst the remaining three!
At this point, Zhao Long and Ge Qi both understood that as long as the victor wasn't Dong Ning, none of them would have to go in! They were both aware that the terrifying old crone was most likely still inside! If so, it might be the difference between life and death!
This was definitely the most important guess of their lives!
Dong Ning had phased out rock-paper-scissors, would it be cloth this time? Or maybe rock? Zhao Long and Ge Qi were both in a heavenly battle, but the time to think was too short!
"Rock Paper Scissors!"
This time …… everyone almost held their breath.
Dong Ning played …… scissors!
"Me!"
"This?"
Zhao Long, Ge Qi both played cloth!
They all felt the same that Dong Ning might not play scissors as he did just now, and that regardless of whether they played cloth or stone, playing cloth would at least result in a tie!
"Alright. It's over." Dong Ning was also analyzing a bet from a psychological perspective, and was not ten percent sure, but it was good that the bet was won.
"No, no, no, no!" Ge Qi was almost red-eyed and wanted to play tricks, but with all eyes on him, he couldn't find an excuse even if he objected.
"It's just! It's also my bad luck!"
Zhao Long sighed, he wasn't going to deny it, and pulled Ge Qi, straight into the room!
Dong Xie and Dong Ning, on the other hand, were responsible for guarding the door the duo were both straddling the doorway, stopping the door from being blocked at any time.
Candles have almost burned out, Ge Qi and took out two spare, with a lighter to relight.
In fact, the interior is no longer out of reach, after all, there is moonlight outside the window, even without candles can roughly see some outlines clearly.
Ge Qi at this time constantly inwardly remorse did not come out of the stone, almost sticking his body and Zhao Long together, using the candlelight to shine around, exploring this room.
The living room here was still quite large, and in front of the candle flame light was a wall-mounted LCD TV. And with the candle flame light shining to one side again ……
Zhao Long and Ge Qi, suddenly saw a black and white remains photo! Above the posthumous photo, it is that old lady!
Ge Qi inhaled a breath of cold air, almost did not hold the candle. Although he had known that the old lady was dead, he was still terrified by this scene.
The current Ge Qi really wanted to escape regardless of the bullshit rules of guessing, but he was being held by Zhao Long and couldn't break free. What's more, Dong Xie blocked the doorway, he didn't realize that Dong Xie almost never won in a fight, after all, Dong Xie's height looked about the same as Mo Yuan who was 5'9", so I'm afraid it's impossible for himself to escape!
"Zhao Long why do you need to put out cloth ah, if one of us puts out a stone and one of us puts out a cloth, wouldn't we win?"
Zhao Long really resented Ge Qi's chatter, it was no wonder that this kind of person could only deliver takeaways. Things had come to this point, what else could be done? It was better to be remorseful than to think about making things right! If clues to a way of life could be found, wouldn't that be a blessing in disguise?
"You shut up! Take a close look at that black and white posthumous photo, is there going to be any clues?"
Zhao Long grabbed Ge Qi's hand and walked towards the black and white posthumous photo. He had already gotten ruthless, if something unnameable really appeared, he would push Ge Qi straight through!
Just as they were gradually approaching the black and white posthumous photo, the photo that was hanging on the cabinet in front of them set in a wooden frame, abruptly fell to the ground, emitting a crisp ringing sound of glass shattering!
This moment scared Ge Qi so much that his heart felt like it stopped beating for a split second! At the same time, he felt a warm liquid trickle down his pants and into his sneakers.
"She …… she must be here! Let's go, Zhao Long, let's go, I beg you! I don't want to die! Zhao Long!"
He was almost crying at this point. It was just a delivery in the first place, sending himself to hell! Why didn't he just stay in his hometown in the first place, he had to run to K City to work!
"Meow……"
After Zhao Long heard this sound, he immediately shone a light at his feet!
He suddenly saw that the black cat he saw when he entered the neighborhood before was standing at his feet!
And at this moment, the black cat's body was almost covered in blood!
