He had just died, and blood was still flowing out.
Huai Shi squatted down and stared at the body in front of him in confusion. He pulled out a stick from the trash and fiddled with it. The arm was broken, there was a knife wound on the back, a punctured lung, and a fatal wound on the throat.
It was a clean cut, almost split in half.
Very quickly, Huai Shi put down the stick and the door plank in her hands and covered the corpse again. She turned around and looked at the ventilation window behind her. After taking a few steps forward, she turned around and estimated that the distance was about right. Then, she sprinted forward with all her might. She jumped up and stepped on the wall to move up 30 centimeters.
He just reached the pipe on the wall.
However, when he lowered his head to look, he found that his footprints overlapped with another faint footprint. When he raised his head and propped himself up, he saw the fingerprints in the dust by the window.
Someone had gone in.
And their physiques were similar to his, and they were both Sublimators who had undergone secondary development. Otherwise, they might have been the champion of a national competition in the fast jump, or even won an indoor climbing award.
There was no sound in the warehouse.
There was no extra sound.
Huai Shi quietly landed and looked around, only to see piles of boxes and wires on the ground. The wires extended to the front and disappeared into the wall. Huai Shi only saw a huge iron door, and a cold wind was blowing out from behind the iron door.
He sensed it deeply, and it was indeed a cold wind. This crappy thing was a cold storage.
After mustering up his courage, he went in and took a look around. In the end, he only saw a mountain of pork. The only thing he found was probably two corpses that had not yet frozen solid.
They had obviously been thrown in at random.
The wound was exactly the same as the one on the security guard outside, and it was equally ruthless and fatal.
Huai Shi reached out, pulled out the sacrificial knife, and looked around carefully. After a long battle of wits and courage with the air, he had to admit regretfully that he was about to freeze into a retard.
Also, the murderer might have left long ago.
He walked out of the cold storage and couldn't help but sneeze. The sneeze echoed in the warehouse for a long time, but it didn't attract anyone's attention.
From the looks of it, other than the corpses, it was just an ordinary factory. However, at this moment, the ashes in his hand were rapidly appearing. In just a few minutes, he had already accumulated almost half of his bag.
The concentration of Origin Substances floating in the air was shockingly high.
Pain and despair radiated from him at all times, almost turning the entire warehouse into a haunted house. Most people wouldn't be able to stand it after staying here for more than a few minutes. Only an idiot like Huai Shi would go around looking for plastic bags to collect the ashes.
In any case, the shattered Origin Substance had been scattered from this place.
There must be a source.
After repeated calculations and experiments, Huai Shi finally found where it came from.
In fact, there was no need to deliberately calculate. Everyone could clearly see such a large crack in the wall. The secret space that was originally hidden behind the wall was not sealed.
The verification of the iris and fingerprint did not work.
In any case, with such a large dead person's arm stuck on the slide rail, the freezer on the floor couldn't be pushed over, right?
With such a large entrance right in front of his eyes, it took him a long time to find it by relying on the concentration of the ashes. Huai Shi once again gained a new understanding of his investigative abilities … …
Behind the door was a dark space.
Stepping over the corpses on the ground and continuing forward, he could see a staircase that extended downwards into the darkness.
In the silence, he silently crept forward. He vaguely saw a shadow with its back facing him. He immediately pulled out his handgun nervously and carefully approached.
But just as his handgun was pressed against the back of the person's head, the person fell forward like a piece of rotten wood, crashing to the ground.
He had already lost his life.
Bang!
The sacrificial knife and the dagger that came from the darkness behind him collided, creating a sharp sound. Someone had taken advantage of Huai Shi's distraction to hide in the darkness and try to stab him in the back. However, they didn't expect that Huai Shi had a bug-like premonition of death.
In the instant of the collision, Huai Shi turned around, stomped the ground, and rushed forward. In the almost lightless darkness, he charged toward the person.
The so-called blind fight also required skill. No, it would be more appropriate to say that it was a cold weapon fight in the dark. A person's joints, the way they held their weapons, and even their moves were limited. If one was familiar with this, the moment the weapons collided, one could even guess the opponent's position, the posture, and even the posture of the weapon.
Although it seemed thrilling, in the final analysis, it was a cruel game of deduction that was as good as drawing cards.
However, some people had already turned the process into instinct.
In the darkness, the two collided. At the same time, Zhang Heng raised his elbow to block the other's hand that was holding the gun. Then, the dagger and the sacrificial knife collided again.
In the ink-like darkness, there were constantly sparks flying in the air without any pattern.
It was a sign of the coldness of the collision of the blades.
The two tacitly did not choose to shoot. Instead, they tried to kill each other as silently as possible. In just a few seconds of fighting, the weapons had collided several times. In the end, the two sides found each other's location in the darkness at the same time. They turned around, took a step forward, and slashed with all their strength.
The sacrificial knife and the dagger collided again.
A spark burst out from the friction between the two metals, illuminating the two people close to each other and the masks on their faces.
One of them was wearing a Peppa Pig mask.
The other was wearing a Ma Baoli mask.
In an instant, there was a dead silence.
The original murderous intent disappeared and was replaced by an indescribable awkwardness.
"…"
In the silence, Ma Baoli was the first to break the silence. She coughed twice and said, "What a coincidence."
"Yes." Huai Shi nodded. "What a coincidence."
The atmosphere fell into awkwardness again.
"…"
In the endless staring contest, the person on the other side asked again, "How should I address you?"
"A real man never changes his name —"
Huai Shi replied proudly, "Just call me 'Little Peppa Pig from Huaihai Road'. What about you?"
"Nice to meet you." The person on the other side introduced herself. "Little Peppa Pig from Hutai Road."
Thus, the atmosphere became awkward again.
They could not fight anymore.
Although he had never heard of Little Peppa Pig from Hutai Road, why did he feel like he had seen her somewhere before?
Huai Shi was silent for a long time. Then, he asked, "Have you eaten?"
"Yes." Little Peppa Pig nodded.
"Are you taking a walk?"
"Yes …"
Another two sentences of meaningless conversation. Perhaps it was because she knew that the other party's background was similar to hers, or perhaps it was because she did not want to waste any more time, Little Peppa Pig took the initiative to make a suggestion.
"Then, shall we walk?"
"Yes, let's walk."
Huai Shi took a step back.
The two of them slowly put away their swords and separated themselves. They leaned against the wall and maintained the greatest vigilance. At the same time, they gestured for the other party to go first. It would be better to expose the vital parts of their backs.
Then, they realized that the other party was not stupid and was too easy to fool.
They could only advance together.
Inexplicably … when Huai Shi came to his senses, he realized that he seemed to have gained another teammate.
On the short flight of stairs, the two of them exchanged some meaningless pleasantries. Then, they racked their brains to find out where the person who copied their character came from.
Finally, the two of them stopped at the end of the stairs.
There were two forks in the road. One went up and seemed to lead to somewhere else, while the other went down and led deeper underground.
Little Peppa Pig looked around. Finally, her gaze fell on Huai Shi.
"Up? Down? "
Her meaning was self-evident. Since it was difficult to trust each other, it was better to split up.
But should it be up or down?
Huai Shi scratched his head and thought for a long time. Then, he said, "Man walks to higher places, and water flows to lower places."
'So, it's up, then?'
Little Peppa Pig waved her hand and walked down the path. However, she did not expect Huai Shi to follow behind her. She was stunned. "Didn't you say that man walks to higher places?"
"So, sometimes, you might as well make a cup of Happy Otaku."
Huai Shi replied sincerely. What he said seemed to be very philosophical.
What a joke. His investigation ability was so weak that it took him more than ten minutes to find an open hidden door. If he walked alone, he might not even know if the important items floated past him.
Interstellar players were too sad.
It was better to find someone to come with them. After all, they were all thieves. Huai Shi did not want any stolen goods. He could even help. It was reasonable to just want to share information, right?
Of course, he would never admit that this place was too dark and gloomy. He was a little scared …
"Are you sure?" Little Peppa Pig looked at him deeply. "Forget it. As long as you don't get in the way, I'll pick first."
"You can have them all."
Huai Shi waved his hand. He had no interest in the stolen goods or the property of the Purified People. He was only here to find someone. It would be a pleasant surprise if he could find out why these guys were hiding in the warehouse of his previous home.
Just as they were moving forward, the two of them stopped abruptly.
There was someone in front.
Or rather, they finally saw a place that looked like a concierge.
Behind the window, they could see a small room. There was a pot of stew on the stove and a song and dance was playing on the TV. The middle-aged man guarding the place was sitting on a chair with his back facing the window. He was watching TV and eating snacks attentively. He did not even look at the surveillance screen in the corner.
Little Peppa Pig pressed Little Peppa Pig back when she pulled out the knife.
"Don't be so rough."
Huai Shi sighed. "Let me do it, let me do it …"
He put on his hood again, picked up the security guard's baton and flashlight, walked over and knocked on the window. He was about to resume his old business of gospel singing when he saw the pot on the stove. There was a human head slowly rising and falling in the pot of stew. There were also a few arms and legs stewed until they were soft and tender …
The security guard in the concierge turned around. Huai Shi opened his mouth several times but did not know what to say.
In the end, he sighed.
He pulled out the sacrificial knife.
Some things, it was better to be rough.
