end of ten days.
Chapter 1 Empty House
An old tungsten lamp hung dimly in the center of the room by black wires.
The quiet atmosphere is like ink dripping into clear water, spreading in the room.
There is a large round table in the center of the room, which looks mottled. In the center of the table stands a small clock with very complicated patterns, which is ticking at the moment.
And around the table, sat ten people in different clothes. Their clothes looked a bit worn out, and their faces were stained with a lot of dust.
Some of them were lying on the table, some were sitting on the chairs, and they were all asleep.
Beside these ten people stood quietly a man wearing a goat's head mask and a black suit.
His eyes pierced through the worn goat's head mask, staring at ten people with interest.
The clock on the table rang, and the minute and hour hands pointed to "twelve" at the same time.
From far away outside the room, a low bell sounded.
At the same time, the ten men and women sitting around the round table slowly woke up.
After they gradually woke up, they first looked around in confusion, and then looked at each other suspiciously.
It seemed that no one remembered why they were here.
"Good morning, nine." Goat's head spoke first, "It's a pleasure to meet you here. You have been sleeping in front of me for twelve hours."
The man's attire in front of him was really weird, and everyone was startled under the dim light.
His mask seemed to be made of a real goat's head, and many of the hairs had turned yellow and black and were knotted together.
The eyes of the goat mask are hollowed out, exposing his sly eyes.
His gestures not only exude the unique smell of goats, but also have a faint smell of decay.
A man with tattooed arms was stunned for a few seconds before he finally realized the unreasonableness of the matter. He hesitated and asked the goat's head, "Who... are you?"
"I believe you all have this question, so I'll introduce it to the nine of you." The goat head waved his hands happily, and it seemed that he had already prepared the answer.
A young man named Qi Xia sat at the farthest place from the goat's head. He quickly surveyed the situation in the house, and after a while, his expression became serious.
Strange, how strange this room is.
There are no doors here, just walls on all sides.
In other words, the perimeter, roof, and floor of the room are all closed, but there is a table in the center of the room.
That being the case, how did they get here?
Could it be that the people were sent here first, and then the wall was built?
Qi Xia looked around again, whether it's the floor, walls or ceiling, there are all horizontal and vertical lines, these lines divide the wall and the ground into many large squares.
Another point that Qi Xia cares about is the "nine" that the goat head said.
No matter how many people were sitting around the round table, there were ten people, including Goat Tou himself, there were eleven people in the room.
What does "nine" mean?
He reached out and touched his pocket, and as expected, the phone had already been taken away.
"There is no need to introduce us." A cold woman said to the goat head, "I advise you to stop your behavior as soon as possible. I suspect that you have detained us for more than 24 hours, which constitutes the crime of "illegal detention". Now you Every word spoken will be recorded and will form a testimony against you. "
While talking, she rubbed the dust on her arms in distaste, as if she hated being dirty more than being imprisoned.
The words of the cold woman really made everyone sober up. No matter who the other party is, daring to kidnap ten people alone is a violation of the bottom line of the law.
"Wait..." A middle-aged man in a white coat interrupted everyone's train of thought, he looked at the cold woman slowly, and asked, "We all just woke up, how do you know we are imprisoned?" "24 hours"? "
His tone is steady and forceful, but it hits the nail on the head.
The cold woman unhurriedly pointed to the clock on the table, and replied: "The clock here points to twelve o'clock, but I have the habit of going to bed late. The last time I looked at the clock at home, it was already twelve o'clock. Explain that we were imprisoned for at least twelve hours."
After she finished speaking, she pointed to the surrounding walls and continued: "You should have discovered that there is no door in this room, which means that this person has spent a lot of effort to let us enter this room. He said that we have I fell asleep for twelve hours, and now the clock points to twelve o'clock again, which means that it has turned at least twice, so I suspect "more than 24 hours", is there a problem? "
After hearing this answer, the white coat gave the woman a cold look, still suspicious.
After all, in this environment, this woman is too calm.
Faced with this kind of kidnapping, would a normal person calmly say what she said?
At this time, a muscular young man in a black T-shirt asked, "Goat's head, why are there ten people here, but you said there were nine?"
The goat's head was silent, and did not answer immediately.
"Shovel, I don't care how many people are here..." The man with the flower arm cursed, and tried to stand up on the table, but found that his legs were weak and he couldn't use his strength, so he could only continue to point at the goat's head Said, "Fanchang, I advise you to be sensible, you may not know how serious the consequences of messing with me are, and I will really kill you."
As soon as this remark came out, the expressions of the men present gradually became serious. At this time, there is really a need for a leader. If they can subdue this goat head together, then the situation is still under control.
But everyone found that their legs had been injected with something, and they couldn't use their strength at all.
So they could only threaten the goat's head with words, yelling and cursing loudly.
Qi Xia didn't speak, stretched out his hand to stroke his chin slightly, he stared at the clock on the table, thoughtful.
Things don't seem to be as simple as imagined.
He knew that what the goat head said was "nine participants". If there were ten people here, it could only prove that one of them was not a participant.
Who is he?
There are five men and five women sitting in this room. Is one of them the "kidnapper"?
Goat's head stopped talking, and slowly came to Qi Xia's side, standing behind a young man.
Everyone followed his gaze, only to realize that the young man in front of him was different from everyone present. Although his face was also dirty, there was a happy smile on his face.
The goat's head slowly raised his palm and placed it on the back of the young man's head.
The young man's smile became more and more strange. He looked at everyone excitedly, and it seemed that he had known something for a long time.
There was only a muffled sound, and the sheep-headed man slammed the young man's head on the table.
The pinkish-white stuff spread horizontally across the table in an instant like a splash of paint, and blood spots gradually appeared next to everyone's faces.
The young man's head was smashed to pieces on the table.
Outside the room, a distant bell rang again.
Qi Xia was very close to the deceased, he felt an unknown object stuck to his face, it was warm and sticky.
He asked himself that his psychological quality was strong enough, but he didn't expect to tremble at this moment.
The girl sitting on the right side of the deceased froze for three seconds and finally contorted her face and screamed.
This scream tore through everyone's psychological defenses.
Can smash the hardest human skull on the table with your hands, is that goat head still a "human"?
Why can his thin body burst out with such a powerful force?
The goat head said slowly: "The reason why we have prepared ten people is because we need to use one of them to quiet you down."
The quiet atmosphere is like ink dripping into clear water, spreading in the room.
There is a large round table in the center of the room, which looks mottled. In the center of the table stands a small clock with very complicated patterns, which is ticking at the moment.
