The first thing they saw was a hand holding a short wooden stick. Then, that hand pulled up the skylight and then used the wooden stick to prop it up. Then, the hand disappeared and the man's face was not seen at all.

.With a "chirping" sound of the soles of his feet scraping against the ground, the weirdo left.

"Who could it be?"

"I don't know, maybe dad will write on the wall."

The last piece of wood was finally uncovered by the captain. The previous paragraphs were all written down while listening to the incident while it was happening, but this last paragraph was not like that. It was written down through memories after the incident happened.

of--

Zhou Jian, my son, now my father can calm down and continue. The situation just now was too tense, and now the enemy has left, only the two of us are here slowly waiting to die. I will make good use of this period before my death.

During the short period of time, try to write down what happened just now in as much detail as possible.

Not long after that, the skylight was opened a little more, and this time, the evil thief Sun Hongliang finally appeared! He looked down at the two of us from above, with a vicious smile on his face. I looked at him, feeling in my heart

Full of disgust. At this time, he lowered a rope ladder from above and lowered it to my eyes. I saw a note on it: You will be given ten minutes. Only Ruiqi can climb up and be rescued.

otherwise……

"What? Rope ladder..."

The captain remembered, didn't there once be a rope ladder in old man Sean's room?

This morning, the rope ladder disappeared along with the lantern, lead pipe and wreath. So, the rope ladder will also be lowered from the skylight... Just as he was thinking about it, Yaqin suddenly said in his ear: "

Listen..." There was another "chirping" sound on the roof, which was the sound of the soles of shoes rubbing against the tiles. The two were startled and immediately raised their heads to look at the skylight. Slowly, the skylight was opened, and one person's

The face appeared in the window. When they saw it, they were shocked and couldn't believe that what they saw in front of them was real.

No one would have thought that the person in front of them would actually be Old Man Xiaon! So, everything just now, the sound of footsteps and the sound of digging soil, was all caused by this crazy old man!

Doesn't he love the captain and Yaqin deeply? Isn't he their benefactor? Since childhood, he has been protecting them and collecting photos for them. Could it be that now he wants to kill them? How could it be?

What about this? He must have gone crazy and was taken advantage of by gangsters and forced to do such a thing.

If you observe carefully, you will find that the old man Xiaon's eyes looking down from the skylight are dull. His eyes behind the yellow lenses do not contain any expression, just like the eyes of a dead fish. He did not glare at them viciously, nor did he show any emotion.

He showed no pleasure in meeting them.

"That was the rope ladder I saw in Sean's room!"

Everything was as written on the wall. There was also a note at the bottom of the rope ladder. The captain read it over and found it was word for word.

"I'll give you ten minutes. Only Yaqin can climb up and be rescued. Otherwise..."

"Hmph, today is the same as twenty years ago, only Yaqin was saved. I wonder what my father did then?"

The captain looked back at the wall again. It said -

I asked Ruiqi to climb up the rope ladder quickly, but she refused to leave me and expressed her willingness to die with me!

"My mother and I have the same choice!" Yaqin shouted loudly. When she saw the words on the wall, she became more determined. She will never abandon the captain easily, and she will be with you even if she dies.

"No, absolutely not. The most important thing now is that you escape from this prison as soon as possible!" "No, I have made up my mind and am willing to die with you!"

"No, we have to fight for a chance of survival. Hurry up and climb up!"

"I will never go up there!"

The two were arguing, and the rope ladder gradually moved upwards. Ten minutes had passed, and Yaqin had no chance to escape.

In desperation, the captain jumped and grabbed the rope ladder. He wanted to use the rope ladder to pull the enemy to the sky window and shoot him to death with a gun.

However, a flash of sword light was seen at the window, and the rope ladder was cut off, and fell to the ground together with the captain. The captain was lying on his back with the rope ladder hanging on his body. At this time, Sean's "haha" evil laughter came from above,

It was an indescribable and ferocious smile, which made people feel indescribable disgust. Maybe he was jumping and laughing so happily that even the roof shook.

"Damn madman!"

The captain drew his pistol and shot at the skylight. But Sean had already turned his head away, and the shot only shattered a piece of glass.

I heard Sean sneer again: "Hey, hey, hey, hey!"

The laughter made the captain grit his teeth in anger, but he was helpless. At this time, a "click" sound was heard from above, and the skylight was covered with a thick iron plate. Suddenly, the room was dark.

"Zhou Jian, where are you?" Yaqin shouted in fear.

"Here, here!"

The two groped each other, walked together, and hugged each other tightly.

"Scared me to death!"

"Don't be afraid, my wounded soldiers and Director Chen will all come to rescue us."

"But... no one knows this place!"

"They will find out."

The captain held a gun in one hand and hugged Yaqin tightly with the other hand. What measures should be taken to deal with what happened next? The captain was so confused that he couldn't figure out a clue.

Will the wounded soldiers, security and agents discover this place? How can we escape from here? Didn't their parents die here? This cold cell is simply hell on earth!

Yaqin trembled all over and huddled up in the captain's arms. The captain held a gun in one hand, ready for any emergency, and pressed his other hand on Yaqin's back, stroking her gently.

Encourage her not to be afraid.

"Thum, thump, thump!"

The iron plate cover was nailed shut by Sean. Now, not only was there no light, but it was also no longer breathable. If this continues, within a few hours, the room will be filled with carbon dioxide, and the two of them will die.

Suffocated to death.

"Here is a box of matches, Yaqin, come and help me strike one by one."

"do what?"

"Write your suicide note on the wall like dad did."

He picked up a pencil, attached it to the back of his father's suicide note, and wrote through gritted teeth:

Zhou Jian and Yaqin were killed by Sean here.

November 15, 1937

After he finished writing, he discovered that there was a line of words written vaguely at the back, which was the last line of his father's suicide note. When he was about to get closer to read, the match went out.

"Oops!"

"What happened?"

"There is only one line left in my father's suicide note! It was too blurry, so I didn't read it!" "Read it!"

"Okay... there are no more matches."

"Hey, there aren't any left."

"All used up?"

"Alas!" Yaqin sighed dejectedly.

"Don't worry, there might be matches falling out of the box. Let's look for them first."

In the darkness, the two groped for a long time on the ground, but all the matches they touched had been burned.
Chapter completed!
