Chapter 126 - Two Monk s (1)
I knew that this steel wire was man-made, at that time I didn't think about it too much, I just thought that it had other uses, it just coincidentally coincidentally was wrapped around my leg, so I pulled hard, but unexpectedly, Li Ruoxi suddenly shouted from behind me: "Be careful of the mechanism!"
At that instant, I saw a black figure flying over. I instinctively lowered my head and that black figure brushed past my head.
Then I turned my head and saw a rope over the eaves of the room. On one end of the rope was a large black stone, and on the other end was attached to the wall with this wire. As I pulled the wire up with all my strength, I triggered this mechanism, and if I had been even a little bit late, the stone would have been intimately in contact with my face.
Since there is a mechanism here, it means that there is someone here. I wonder, why is there a mechanism in this burnt room?
Could it be that there was something more to this empty room?
Since there's already a mechanism, then there might be a second and a third. We immediately moved forward carefully, almost step by step, until we found several mechanisms, which kept on appearing. Some of them were spiders that fell from the ceiling, some of them were poisonous thorns that were hidden under the floor, a total of three or four of them!
It's a good thing that we were prepared. Every time before the mechanism appeared, we would move a step ahead of it and safely avoid it.
At the beginning, our attention was completely focused on the mechanism. After a while, I noticed that there were footsteps coming from upstairs, getting closer and closer. I quickly shouted to the people upstairs, "People, get the f * ck down!"
I knew that it was impossible for the other party to behave so obediently, but it was still considered a sign of strength. After all, the enemy was in the dark while we were in the light.
Just as I was about to bluff, Li Ruoxi took big steps and ran straight up the stairs!
At the same time, I heard the footsteps upstairs start to pick up faster. It was obvious that the people upstairs were preparing to escape. Perhaps the other party had already calculated everything and discovered that none of the traps could trap us.
At that moment, I am surrounded by the Girl. If the enemy was a big and burly guy, he would have already come down to fight with me, but when my lineup was seen, the enemy actually started to run ahead of us, could it be that the enemy is not as strong as us?
Of course, I'm not trying to extinguish my ambitions and build up the prestige of others. I just feel that it doesn't make sense. Furthermore, the other party's footsteps seem lighter, or perhaps I can't be too old.
Since waiting downstairs is useless, why not run up and see? The few of us followed Li Ruoxi's footsteps and directly went up to the second floor. As soon as we went upstairs, I saw a person.
When we arrived at the second floor, the Windows s were in front of me. There was a boy who was not even 1.6 meters tall, wearing an orange Clothes, and had a peaked cap on her head. From the background, she should be around ten years old, and the boy was lying beside the Windows, doing her best to jump out of the window.
I am afraid that the mechanism downstairs was designed by this boy. Li Ruoxi, one step faster than me, quickly ran to the window ledge and hugged the boy. She pressed the boy down hard and caught him on the spot.
After we walked over, we realised that the boy was dishonest as well, biting and beating him up, but Li Ruoxi was also energetic, he just kept hold of the boy and didn't let him go. Only then did the rest of us go, I hurriedly closed the Windows and pushed the boy into one of the rooms and asked: "What are you doing, what the hell are you doing, putting so many traps in this room to kill people!"
After I said this, I noticed that the boy was staring at me with eyes that didn't match his age at all. There was even a hint of hatred in his eyes.
I understood that if you weren't someone who had gone through a lot of tribulations, you wouldn't look at me like that, and before I had the impulse, I thought it was the best way to talk about it.
If I meet a child of this age, I would usually take out some toy or other to coax him. Obviously, this kind of toy was useless against the boy in front of me, so I directly found a set of stool s and sat in front of the boy, and went straight to the point: "We are outsiders. Firstly, we have no enmity with you, and secondly, I am a Detective.
