Reincarnation Train Restart [Unlimited]
第131章 5井广场07【2更合1】
On the way out, Wu Xiajiu said to Shi Shangzuo: "I saw the computer surveillance video in front of Sun Sheng in the duty room last night."
"The monitoring should have been modified a little later. The monitoring range covers not only the Five Wells Hotel, but also the square outside, and the fountain can be seen."
"So we may be photographed by surveillance when we pass by, so let's go here."
According to memory, Wu Xiajiu took Shang Zuo away from the monitoring range.
The two went all the way to the entrance of the department store. After observing for a few seconds, after confirming that Zhao Cai was not near the first floor at this time, the two gently opened the door and walked in, going straight to the basement floor.
The time period from 7:9 pm to [-]:[-] pm was indeed safe. The basement floor was quiet and silent, only the footsteps of the two of them echoed softly.
Wu Xiajiu could still see the familiar green plants, but without wasting time, he and Shi Shangzuo went directly to the entrance from the basement floor to the second floor.
"Walk."
Facing the entrance without a gate, and the inside was pitch black, Wu Xiajiu stepped in with a flashlight.
As soon as he walked up and down the steps on the second floor, a gust of coolness rushed over his face. This feeling was similar to what Wu Xiajiu felt in the underground garage of the Five Wells Hotel.
"Be careful."
Because the second basement floor was too dark, the flashlight was shining forward again, and he didn't notice that there was a missing brick on the steps under his feet.
The waist under the palm felt soft and warm through the clothes. Shi Shangzuo didn't want to let go of his hand, and couldn't help but press it hard, wanting to see if the waist was really soft and easy to pinch.
And Wu Xiajiu, who happened to be pressed on the sensitive part, almost tilted his body and fell on Shi Shangzuo's chest.
He opened his eyes, gritted his teeth and whispered, "What are you doing?"
The voice seemed to be squeezed out of the lips, a bit angry and ashamed.
In particular, Wu Xiajiu put his free hand on the back of Shi Shangzuo's hand holding his waist, intending to inflict substantial damage, but before he could take action, that hand was taken advantage of by Shi Shangzuo hold tightly.
The warm palms touched each other, and the tips of Wu Xiajiu's ears turned red involuntarily for a moment.
He should be thankful that they are now on the second floor of the basement, the surrounding environment is pitch black, and the people next to him will not notice whether his ears are red or not.
"Let go." Wu Xiajiu said in a low voice.
Their current posture is a bit awkward.
Wu Xiajiu was in front, and Shi Shangzuo was behind. At the same time, Shi Shangzuo's left hand was wrapped around his waist, but Wu Xiajiu's left hand was covered but was immediately reversed.
There is no way to move forward in such a posture.
Shi Shangzuo chuckled suddenly, and his deep and sexy voice came from his chest, and then penetrated into Wu Xiajiu's ears. In an instant, the red color was dyed again and deepened.
No one noticed, and a little blush appeared on his cheeks, which was irresistible, like a drop of bright color dripping from a beautiful ink painting.
Afraid to continue, I really became angry from embarrassment.
Before Shi Shangzuo let go, he whispered in his ear: "Be careful where you step, do you want to walk hand in hand?"
Wu Xiajiu: "...No need."
The clasped palms finally separated, and Wu Xiajiu couldn't help moving his fingers, as if the temperature from another person was still lingering on them, making his vacant hand feel at a loss for a moment.
Fortunately, this feeling dissipated quickly, and Wu Xiajiu continued to walk to the second basement floor as usual.
After a while, they discovered that the construction of the second basement floor of the department store seemed to be different from the first basement.
Even though some parts of the second basement floor looked badly burned, full of scorched black and ashes, it was still found that the building style, materials, and degree of old and new were quite different from the first floor.
"Here, it should be the underground parking lot that was added later." Shishang said wrongly.
"It does." Wu Xiajiu nodded.
As they walked in, the light of the flashlight swept across the surroundings. There were also green plants on the second basement floor, which looked more lush than those on the first floor.
The co-existence of scorched blackness and vitality made this shady and cold basement second-floor parking lot a bit more eerie, and it didn't feel green and bright at all.
For a long time, Wu Xia suddenly remembered the location of the green plants that he saw on the second floor of the department store last night.
He scanned the surroundings with a flashlight, recalled the general direction of the location, and said, "Let's go this way."
Facts have proved that the direction Wu Xiajiu chose to look for is correct. The further you go here, the denser the distribution of green plants.
It didn't take long for the two of them to come to the more remote side of the underground parking lot. Under the bright light, the walls and ground here were covered with green vines.
When approaching, there are emerald green branches and leaves under your feet.
Wu Xiajiu stepped on the vine and approached the wall, put his hands on it and touched it.
[Congratulations to the passengers for discovering one of the five wells "the well buried underground in Xinhui Department Store" and obtaining relevant information—five well attributes (to be explored)]
Five well properties?
Wu Xiajiu couldn't help but withdraw his hand, thinking, what attribute?Is it about plants?Wood?
He turned his head and asked if Shang Zuo had received the reminder message.
Shi Shangzuo just withdrew his hand from the plants, nodded and said: "Yes, there should be a space behind these plants, you step back to the side, and I will open it."
"Yeah." Wu Xiajiu stood a little further away.
And Shi Shangzuo took out the ghost knife Fengdu, and with a few strokes, he made a gap in the densely packed vines in front of him, and illuminated it with the flashlight. Sure enough, there was another space.
The two couldn't help but glanced at each other, and stepped into the place covered by vines.
They first passed a narrow passage, which was full of plants, with branches and leaves protruding horizontally under their feet, above their heads, and beside them.
It can be seen that this place was originally made of cement, but now a lot of the cement on the wall has been topped off by plants.
Wu Xiajiu pushed aside the hanging vines and took a look, and there were scorched marks on the wall.
There's a fire here too?
With doubts, the two continued to move forward.
Finally, the passage ahead became wider and wider. They reached the end of the passage and entered a... basement with a woody and burnt smell?
The walls here are obviously aging, and the potholes are occupied by plants.
What surprised Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shangzuo was the arrangement in the basement that looked like an altar. It was placed in the center, square and made of many bluestone slabs. Stone steps can go up.
And those vines stretched to the altar in a winding way, no, it should be, the plants should grow from the altar.
Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shangzuo stepped up to the altar. The area of the altar was small, and there was a square well in the middle. The surroundings of the well could accommodate three people standing side by side.
"This is the well." Wu Xiajiu whispered.
He bent down and reached out to poke the plants covering the well, and then looked around the altar, which was also full of traces of burnt and ash.
But the well was pitch black, and the light from the flashlight seemed to be swallowed up after it shone in, and it didn't show what was in the well at all.
Recalling the clues provided by Shi Shangzuo before, Wu Xiajiu said: "Wujing Square used to be a mass grave, Taoist Jiuyun used a well to suppress it, and the bottom of the well..."
Shi Shangzuo picked up a stone from under the altar and threw it into the well - the stone disappeared, but there was no sound in the well, not a single sound could be heard.
Wu Xia thought for a long time, took out a talisman and threw it over.
But before the talisman entered the well, it spontaneously ignited above the well, and soon burned into a pile of ashes and fell down.
Two phenomena in succession could not help but make Wu Xiajiu's face solemn.
Shi Shang raised his left eyebrow, said something interesting in a low voice, picked up the ghost knife Fengdu and said to Wu Xiajiu: "Would you like to test how deep this well is?"
Wu Xiajiu probed into the well again. After looking for a long time, he always felt dizzy and palpitations, and a gloomy cold air kept coming out of it.
He withdrew his gaze, nodded, and said, "Be careful."
Shi Shangzuo held his wrist and brought Wu Xiajiu to a position behind him.
After that, the other hand held Fengdu tightly, and the blade of the knife was inserted into the well without hesitation.
In an instant, the blade lighted up, and an extremely cold and thick black air gushed out from the bottom of the well. Accompanied by the terrifying sound of ghosts howling and crying, the plants around the altar vibrated. The next inch is broken.
Seeing that the bluestone slabs that made up the altar gradually began to crack, Shi Shangzuo frowned and immediately took Feng Du back.
The city pattern on the body of the Fengdu knife was originally faintly visible when it was inserted into the well, as if a city really existed in the body of the knife, and the city was lit up with dim and gloomy lights between the towering mountains.
Moreover, the ghosts clinging to the knife also surged, and it slowly calmed down when it was retracted, and the movement in the well also became smaller, and after a while, it returned to the previous state of darkness and silence.
Shi Shang Zuo picked up Fengdu and looked at it.
Wu Xiajiu also looked over, then frowned and said in surprise: "It seems that there are more ghosts on this knife body..."
It wasn't his illusion, the ferocious ghosts clinging to the knife were really different from what he saw at first, whether it was the number or the movement of trying to struggle out of the city.
Shi Shangzuo: "Feng has the ability to absorb ghosts."
"So in this well..." Wu Xiajiu suddenly turned his head to look at the well in the middle of the altar.
"Well, it's very dangerous." Shi Shang Zuo frowned slightly and said, "It's best not to let the things in the well come out. I guess there should be a seal on the mouth of the well."
"But now there is nothing on it, maybe it was burned or someone took it away."
"Sun Sheng, Zhao Cai, and Chen Xing." Wu Xiajiu immediately remembered, "Could it be that what they are looking for is from Inoue?"
"Very likely, we..." Before Shi Shangzuo could finish his sentence, his brows and eyes sharpened, and he looked around.
Wu Xiajiu also turned around and took out the keel for defense, and shined the flashlight on the electronic watch on his wrist-the time was already past 9 o'clock before he knew it.
During the time they were patrolling, the department store changed.
First, the surroundings of the altar slowly became dark and scorching. When the soles of the shoes rubbed against each other, it seemed as if sparks were ignited, and the air began to contain ashes floating from the wall, and the temperature rose, hot and boring.
Wu Xiajiu felt an invisible heat wave coming one after another, but the green plants in this basement were not affected at all, and there was no sign of drying up or burning.
You can't stay on the altar any longer, or the soles of your feet will be burned through.
Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shang left the altar and walked quickly outside.
When passing through the more stuffy passage, Wu Xiajiu accidentally rubbed his arm against the wall, and was immediately burned. The walls on both sides of the passage seemed to have the temperature of being scorched during a fire.
He covered his arms, then speeded up, and Shi Shangzuo passed through the vine-covered exit and returned to the second basement of the department store.
"Cough cough." As soon as he came out, Wu Xiajiu coughed.
Compared with before they entered the passage, the second basement floor seemed to have changed the environment, with black lines all over the place.
And the burning flames shuttled across the walls, ceiling, and ground, rising and emitting sparks from time to time, and then burned up in the air before disappearing.
The fire pattern brushed past the black line, the black line broke, turned into ashes and floated upwards, and then fell back to the ground again.
Repeatedly, the entire space on the second basement floor became unbearable and unbearable.
"The second basement floor reproduces the scene of the department store fire at that time, let's leave here quickly." Shi Shangzuo said quickly.
"Cough, cough, let's go." Wu Xiajiu nodded.
The two ran all the way to the roof of the department store.
……
At the same time, in the underground garage of the Five Wells Hotel, just as Fang Zi came out of the dug hole, he met Chu Ba's flashlight and surprised eyes.
A hint of surprise flashed across Fang Zi's face, but it quickly disappeared.
He narrowed his eyes and smiled, pointed at Chu Ba with a finger on his lips, and let out a "shh".
Earlier, after Fang Zi, Tang Yunsi and Zhong Nan found the location of the car that Wu Xiajiu mentioned, they also found burnt marks on the wall.
However, the old car blocking the front has become a problem, but since someone deliberately drove the car here to block it, it means that the key to the car may still be on that person.
Tang Yunsi has done some research on cars and knows the car logo. If he sees the car keys, he should be able to find them out. What's more, the shape of this car is there, and it is obviously used to deliver goods .
Combined with the previous identities of Sun Sheng, Zhao Cai and others, it is not difficult to guess who this car belongs to.
After reading the car logo and writing it down, Tang Yunsi discussed with Fang Zi and Zhong Nan how to find Sun Sheng's car key.
In addition, the three of them had thought before that the hotel should have spare room cards, and these room cards were obviously held by Sun Sheng, and they did not know where they were placed.
While looking for the car keys, it is best to look for the room card.
During this period of time, the four security captains were absent, and only Sun Sheng stayed in the duty room of the hotel.
Wu Xiajiu once told Tang Yunsi, Fang Zi and Zhong Nan the location of the recorded surveillance video.
They deliberately avoided the monitoring when they came out of the room, and after discussing, Zhong Nan planned to wander around the monitoring area on purpose to attract Sun Sheng to look for him, but he didn't expect to meet Lao Cao, Li Shou, and Man Man on the way.
For some reason, the three of them clashed with Eraser and Xiangzi in the corridor, especially Lao Cao and Eraser, and they all scolded each other.
When Zhong Nan hid sideways at the corner, he poked his head around for a second, then rolled his eyes and came up with an idea.
He ran to the duty room and asked Sun Sheng to "solve" the conflict between Lao Cao and Eraser.
But Fang Zi and Tang Yunsi took the opportunity to enter the duty room, on the chair where Sun Shengchang was sitting, to be precise, they picked up the dirty old clothes hanging on the back of the chair, and found the car key in the trousers pocket .
At that time, the key card of Sun Sheng's room was also placed on the computer desk. Fang Zi rolled his eyes, picked up Sun Sheng's key card, and said that he was not in a hurry to go to the underground garage, but went to his room first.
Tang Yunsi readily agreed.
The two entered Sun Sheng's room to search, and while Sun Sheng was away, they came out quickly and put the room card back in the duty room.
And when Fang Zi and Tang Yunsi left the duty room, Sun Sheng just came back.
After that, the three of them went to the underground garage and drove the car away. The loose bricks on the wall could be easily taken down.
It was close to Tang Yunsi's patrol time, so he went up first for fear of attracting suspicion.
Zhong Nan stayed outside and waited for extra vigilance, while Fang Zi got into the dug passage—until now, when he came out of the passage, Zhong Nan, who was waiting outside, disappeared, but saw Chu Ba.
"You..." Chu Ba was about to speak, but was interrupted by Fang Zi.
Fang Zi got out of the hole neatly, the zipper on his coat was unzipped, and his arms were bulging, obviously there was something in it.
After patting the dust and dirt on his body, Fang Zi said to Chu Ba: "I'll talk about it later, help me put the bricks on first, hurry up."
Chuba: "Huh? Oh, oh...Okay."
After the two worked together to build the bricks, Fang Zi drove the car back to its original position.
"Have you seen my companion?" Fang Zi opened the door and got out of the car, put the car keys in his pocket and asked Chu Ba, "The one without glasses."
Chuba shook his head: "No, I came in because I planned to check the underground garage in advance, where you just went in..."
Before Fang Zi could speak, he suddenly saw light and footsteps coming from a little far away from the garage. He hurriedly asked Chu Ba to turn off the flashlight, and then led the people to hide behind a pillar.
After a while, Li Jian walked over quickly.
When he saw that the car was still in place, he breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered in a low voice, "Damn it, I thought..."
Li Jian walked around the car again before leaving the underground garage.
When the light of the flashlight faded away, Fang Zi and Chu Ba came out from behind the pillar, Fang Zi said, "See, there is a problem here."
Eighth day: "..."
Crap, no problem I can see you coming out of the wall?
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but glance at the bulging area on Fang Zi's chest.
Fang Zi noticed that the green eyes were beautiful even in the dark, he smiled harmlessly and said, "Do you want to know what these are?"
Chu Ba raised his head suspiciously: "You want to tell me?"
Fang Zi: "I can tell you, but what news do you want to exchange?"
Chuba hesitated, he didn't have any useful news, besides, Su Zhouhe wasn't here for a long time...
Seeing him like this, Fang Zi let out a sigh and said, "There is no exchange, why should I tell you?"
After speaking, he walked out of the underground garage.
Seeing this, Chuba followed, but remained silent all the way.
After getting out of the underground garage, Fang Zi took care to avoid people, and when he was about to go back to his room, Chu Ba said, "Actually, I found out that Lao Cao and the others seem to be targeting you."
"Especially your companion, the passenger codenamed Guanzhu."
"Oh?" Fang Zi turned his head, squinted his eyes, and then waved to Chu Ba: "Come, follow me into the house."
It seemed that Fangzi's mixed-race face seemed harmless and confusing, so Chu Ba followed him in.
Not long after, Zhong Nan also came over and knocked on Fangzi's door tentatively, wondering if anyone was inside.
He was waiting for Fang Zi to come out in the underground garage just now, but the panda brooch flashed, reminding Zhong Nan that someone might have entered the underground garage.
So Zhong Nan hesitated for a while before deciding to move forward.
He met Li Jian in front and tried to lure him away, but before he could go back to the underground garage, he was met by Lao Cao and others again.
After looking at the time, remembering the agreement before going in, he knocked on Fangzi's door first.
At this time, the door opened, and Zhong Nan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and was immediately pulled into the room by Fang Zi.
……
When it was almost 11 o'clock, Fang Zi and Tang Yunsi came to the department store and met with Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shangzuo.
However, after seeing the faces of the two, Fang Zi sized him up suspiciously, and said hesitantly, "Brother Jiu, why are you sweating so much?"
Wu Xiajiu wiped his sweat with his hands, and he said, "Those charred ghosts and black lines appeared earlier than last night."
"And the strength has increased."
It's not great news.
At least, Tang Yunsi's expression changed.
He said: "We spent a total of seven days, no, seven nights in this car."
"If the timing and strength of ghosts appear earlier and stronger each night, how do we deal with the last few nights?"
Wu Xiajiu said: "It's not just that we have to deal with it, if the danger advances, it means that every time period will change."
"Zhao Cai, Li Jian and the others will no longer be safe on patrol, and they will definitely show some abnormalities at that time."
"The most important thing is that we have to find a way to leave the Five Wells Hotel before the last night. Don't forget that the reincarnation train picks up passengers at nine o'clock sharp on the last day of the world."
So in other words, they only have the remaining time from 7:9 to [-]:[-] on the last night.
Aware of this grim situation, the atmosphere couldn't help becoming more silent.
Fang Zi said at this time: "Brother Jiu, we found some clues..."
Before they finished speaking, the first floor of the department store began to change. "Be safe" in the past. They should not stay on the first floor for a long time. The four of them turned around and ran to the rooftop tacitly.
With the experience of cooperating last night, they arrived at the rooftop safely.
However, the door that was not hit yesterday was hit violently after being closed by them at this moment, and finally resisted for a while before the impact calmed down.
Wu Xiajiu said: "Sure enough, the danger has intensified."
After waiting for a while, seeing that there was indeed no movement behind the door, Wu Xiajiu looked at Fang Zi and asked them what clues they had found.
"The monitoring should have been modified a little later. The monitoring range covers not only the Five Wells Hotel, but also the square outside, and the fountain can be seen."
"So we may be photographed by surveillance when we pass by, so let's go here."
According to memory, Wu Xiajiu took Shang Zuo away from the monitoring range.
The two went all the way to the entrance of the department store. After observing for a few seconds, after confirming that Zhao Cai was not near the first floor at this time, the two gently opened the door and walked in, going straight to the basement floor.
The time period from 7:9 pm to [-]:[-] pm was indeed safe. The basement floor was quiet and silent, only the footsteps of the two of them echoed softly.
Wu Xiajiu could still see the familiar green plants, but without wasting time, he and Shi Shangzuo went directly to the entrance from the basement floor to the second floor.
"Walk."
Facing the entrance without a gate, and the inside was pitch black, Wu Xiajiu stepped in with a flashlight.
As soon as he walked up and down the steps on the second floor, a gust of coolness rushed over his face. This feeling was similar to what Wu Xiajiu felt in the underground garage of the Five Wells Hotel.

Because the second basement floor was too dark, the flashlight was shining forward again, and he didn't notice that there was a missing brick on the steps under his feet.
The waist under the palm felt soft and warm through the clothes. Shi Shangzuo didn't want to let go of his hand, and couldn't help but press it hard, wanting to see if the waist was really soft and easy to pinch.
And Wu Xiajiu, who happened to be pressed on the sensitive part, almost tilted his body and fell on Shi Shangzuo's chest.

The warm palms touched each other, and the tips of Wu Xiajiu's ears turned red involuntarily for a moment.
He should be thankful that they are now on the second floor of the basement, the surrounding environment is pitch black, and the people next to him will not notice whether his ears are red or not.
"Let go." Wu Xiajiu said in a low voice.
Their current posture is a bit awkward.
Wu Xiajiu was in front, and Shi Shangzuo was behind. At the same time, Shi Shangzuo's left hand was wrapped around his waist, but Wu Xiajiu's left hand was covered but was immediately reversed.
There is no way to move forward in such a posture.
Shi Shangzuo chuckled suddenly, and his deep and sexy voice came from his chest, and then penetrated into Wu Xiajiu's ears. In an instant, the red color was dyed again and deepened.
No one noticed, and a little blush appeared on his cheeks, which was irresistible, like a drop of bright color dripping from a beautiful ink painting.
Afraid to continue, I really became angry from embarrassment.
Before Shi Shangzuo let go, he whispered in his ear: "Be careful where you step, do you want to walk hand in hand?"
Wu Xiajiu: "...No need."
The clasped palms finally separated, and Wu Xiajiu couldn't help moving his fingers, as if the temperature from another person was still lingering on them, making his vacant hand feel at a loss for a moment.
Fortunately, this feeling dissipated quickly, and Wu Xiajiu continued to walk to the second basement floor as usual.

Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shang left the altar and walked quickly outside.
When passing through the more stuffy passage, Wu Xiajiu accidentally rubbed his arm against the wall, and was immediately burned. The walls on both sides of the passage seemed to have the temperature of being scorched during a fire.
He covered his arms, then speeded up, and Shi Shangzuo passed through the vine-covered exit and returned to the second basement of the department store.
"Cough cough." As soon as he came out, Wu Xiajiu coughed.
Compared with before they entered the passage, the second basement floor seemed to have changed the environment, with black lines all over the place.
And the burning flames shuttled across the walls, ceiling, and ground, rising and emitting sparks from time to time, and then burned up in the air before disappearing.
The fire pattern brushed past the black line, the black line broke, turned into ashes and floated upwards, and then fell back to the ground again.
Repeatedly, the entire space on the second basement floor became unbearable and unbearable.
"The second basement floor reproduces the scene of the department store fire at that time, let's leave here quickly." Shi Shangzuo said quickly.
"Cough, cough, let's go." Wu Xiajiu nodded.
The two ran all the way to the roof of the department store.
……
At the same time, in the underground garage of the Five Wells Hotel, just as Fang Zi came out of the dug hole, he met Chu Ba's flashlight and surprised eyes.
A hint of surprise flashed across Fang Zi's face, but it quickly disappeared.
He narrowed his eyes and smiled, pointed at Chu Ba with a finger on his lips, and let out a "shh".
Earlier, after Fang Zi, Tang Yunsi and Zhong Nan found the location of the car that Wu Xiajiu mentioned, they also found burnt marks on the wall.
However, the old car blocking the front has become a problem, but since someone deliberately drove the car here to block it, it means that the key to the car may still be on that person.
Tang Yunsi has done some research on cars and knows the car logo. If he sees the car keys, he should be able to find them out. What's more, the shape of this car is there, and it is obviously used to deliver goods .
Combined with the previous identities of Sun Sheng, Zhao Cai and others, it is not difficult to guess who this car belongs to.
After reading the car logo and writing it down, Tang Yunsi discussed with Fang Zi and Zhong Nan how to find Sun Sheng's car key.
In addition, the three of them had thought before that the hotel should have spare room cards, and these room cards were obviously held by Sun Sheng, and they did not know where they were placed.
While looking for the car keys, it is best to look for the room card.
During this period of time, the four security captains were absent, and only Sun Sheng stayed in the duty room of the hotel.
Wu Xiajiu once told Tang Yunsi, Fang Zi and Zhong Nan the location of the recorded surveillance video.
They deliberately avoided the monitoring when they came out of the room, and after discussing, Zhong Nan planned to wander around the monitoring area on purpose to attract Sun Sheng to look for him, but he didn't expect to meet Lao Cao, Li Shou, and Man Man on the way.
For some reason, the three of them clashed with Eraser and Xiangzi in the corridor, especially Lao Cao and Eraser, and they all scolded each other.
When Zhong Nan hid sideways at the corner, he poked his head around for a second, then rolled his eyes and came up with an idea.
He ran to the duty room and asked Sun Sheng to "solve" the conflict between Lao Cao and Eraser.
But Fang Zi and Tang Yunsi took the opportunity to enter the duty room, on the chair where Sun Shengchang was sitting, to be precise, they picked up the dirty old clothes hanging on the back of the chair, and found the car key in the trousers pocket .
At that time, the key card of Sun Sheng's room was also placed on the computer desk. Fang Zi rolled his eyes, picked up Sun Sheng's key card, and said that he was not in a hurry to go to the underground garage, but went to his room first.
Tang Yunsi readily agreed.
The two entered Sun Sheng's room to search, and while Sun Sheng was away, they came out quickly and put the room card back in the duty room.
And when Fang Zi and Tang Yunsi left the duty room, Sun Sheng just came back.
After that, the three of them went to the underground garage and drove the car away. The loose bricks on the wall could be easily taken down.
It was close to Tang Yunsi's patrol time, so he went up first for fear of attracting suspicion.
Zhong Nan stayed outside and waited for extra vigilance, while Fang Zi got into the dug passage—until now, when he came out of the passage, Zhong Nan, who was waiting outside, disappeared, but saw Chu Ba.
"You..." Chu Ba was about to speak, but was interrupted by Fang Zi.
Fang Zi got out of the hole neatly, the zipper on his coat was unzipped, and his arms were bulging, obviously there was something in it.
After patting the dust and dirt on his body, Fang Zi said to Chu Ba: "I'll talk about it later, help me put the bricks on first, hurry up."
Chuba: "Huh? Oh, oh...Okay."
After the two worked together to build the bricks, Fang Zi drove the car back to its original position.
"Have you seen my companion?" Fang Zi opened the door and got out of the car, put the car keys in his pocket and asked Chu Ba, "The one without glasses."
Chuba shook his head: "No, I came in because I planned to check the underground garage in advance, where you just went in..."
Before Fang Zi could speak, he suddenly saw light and footsteps coming from a little far away from the garage. He hurriedly asked Chu Ba to turn off the flashlight, and then led the people to hide behind a pillar.
After a while, Li Jian walked over quickly.
When he saw that the car was still in place, he breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered in a low voice, "Damn it, I thought..."
Li Jian walked around the car again before leaving the underground garage.
When the light of the flashlight faded away, Fang Zi and Chu Ba came out from behind the pillar, Fang Zi said, "See, there is a problem here."
Eighth day: "..."
Crap, no problem I can see you coming out of the wall?
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but glance at the bulging area on Fang Zi's chest.
Fang Zi noticed that the green eyes were beautiful even in the dark, he smiled harmlessly and said, "Do you want to know what these are?"
Chu Ba raised his head suspiciously: "You want to tell me?"
Fang Zi: "I can tell you, but what news do you want to exchange?"
Chuba hesitated, he didn't have any useful news, besides, Su Zhouhe wasn't here for a long time...
Seeing him like this, Fang Zi let out a sigh and said, "There is no exchange, why should I tell you?"
After speaking, he walked out of the underground garage.
Seeing this, Chuba followed, but remained silent all the way.
After getting out of the underground garage, Fang Zi took care to avoid people, and when he was about to go back to his room, Chu Ba said, "Actually, I found out that Lao Cao and the others seem to be targeting you."
"Especially your companion, the passenger codenamed Guanzhu."
"Oh?" Fang Zi turned his head, squinted his eyes, and then waved to Chu Ba: "Come, follow me into the house."
It seemed that Fangzi's mixed-race face seemed harmless and confusing, so Chu Ba followed him in.
Not long after, Zhong Nan also came over and knocked on Fangzi's door tentatively, wondering if anyone was inside.
He was waiting for Fang Zi to come out in the underground garage just now, but the panda brooch flashed, reminding Zhong Nan that someone might have entered the underground garage.
So Zhong Nan hesitated for a while before deciding to move forward.
He met Li Jian in front and tried to lure him away, but before he could go back to the underground garage, he was met by Lao Cao and others again.
After looking at the time, remembering the agreement before going in, he knocked on Fangzi's door first.
At this time, the door opened, and Zhong Nan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and was immediately pulled into the room by Fang Zi.
……
When it was almost 11 o'clock, Fang Zi and Tang Yunsi came to the department store and met with Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shangzuo.
However, after seeing the faces of the two, Fang Zi sized him up suspiciously, and said hesitantly, "Brother Jiu, why are you sweating so much?"
Wu Xiajiu wiped his sweat with his hands, and he said, "Those charred ghosts and black lines appeared earlier than last night."
"And the strength has increased."
It's not great news.
At least, Tang Yunsi's expression changed.
He said: "We spent a total of seven days, no, seven nights in this car."
"If the timing and strength of ghosts appear earlier and stronger each night, how do we deal with the last few nights?"
Wu Xiajiu said: "It's not just that we have to deal with it, if the danger advances, it means that every time period will change."
"Zhao Cai, Li Jian and the others will no longer be safe on patrol, and they will definitely show some abnormalities at that time."
"The most important thing is that we have to find a way to leave the Five Wells Hotel before the last night. Don't forget that the reincarnation train picks up passengers at nine o'clock sharp on the last day of the world."
So in other words, they only have the remaining time from 7:9 to [-]:[-] on the last night.
Aware of this grim situation, the atmosphere couldn't help becoming more silent.
Fang Zi said at this time: "Brother Jiu, we found some clues..."
Before they finished speaking, the first floor of the department store began to change. "Be safe" in the past. They should not stay on the first floor for a long time. The four of them turned around and ran to the rooftop tacitly.
With the experience of cooperating last night, they arrived at the rooftop safely.
However, the door that was not hit yesterday was hit violently after being closed by them at this moment, and finally resisted for a while before the impact calmed down.
Wu Xiajiu said: "Sure enough, the danger has intensified."
After waiting for a while, seeing that there was indeed no movement behind the door, Wu Xiajiu looked at Fang Zi and asked them what clues they had found.
