The situation at the scene was chaotic. Lin Qianyi, who had always remained calm in front of me, was now overwhelmed by our current predicament, and her emotions were obviously out of control.
While I was secretly blaming myself for not discovering Lin Qianyi's emotional problems earlier, I waved my hand desperately towards her, fearing that she would pull the trigger in a moment of excitement.
"Sister Lin, put down the gun first..."
Just when Lin Qianyi's attention was attracted to me, Feng Chunlin unexpectedly raised the lamp from the table next to him and planned to throw it at Lin Qianyi's head.
However, Lin Qianyi's reaction was equally quick. When Feng Chun had just raised the lamp, she had already pointed the gun at him. Seeing that another accident was about to happen, I finally couldn't bear it anymore and took out the pistol hidden on my body.
, aimed at Lin Qianyi.
Seeing the gun in my hand, Feng Chun and Chen Meiyang were stunned for a moment, while Lin Qianyi said with disbelief: "Four-nine! Don't point the gun at me!"
I said: "I'm sorry, Sister Lin, but please understand..."
"What do you want me to understand?" Lin Qianyi frowned in disbelief. Her expression was full of anger and shock. She suddenly turned the gun and pointed it at me and said: "Sijiu, put the gun down for me!"
"Sister Lin! It's you who should let go!" I almost shouted, while constantly begging her with my eyes.
"Sijiu!" Lin Qianyi also shouted, "It's me, Sijiu! Don't you even believe me? When Officer Hu and others doubted you, I was the only one on your side!"
Do you think I might be some kind of shape-shifting Gu insect?!"
I frowned sadly and whispered: "Sister Lin, have you forgotten what you said to me last night?"
Trust belongs to trust, but the necessary vigilance must never be lost...
This sentence was taught to me by Lin Qianyi herself when she and I entered the camp to search for Li Shengli's body last night.
After I repeated what Lin Qianyi told me in front of everyone, I pulled the bolt of the gun in my hand to prove that I was really ready to shoot.
Gun preparation.
Lin Qianyi in front of me probably sensed my seriousness at this time. She smiled bitterly twice and said: "Okay, Sijiu, you are right..."
After saying that, Lin Qianyi slowly lowered the muzzle of the gun, and finally handed the gun in my hand.
…
This is the end of a farce, because we currently have no means to effectively identify deformed Gu insects (During this period, I thought about using my own ability to identify the truth, but I abused the precious opportunity to use my ability after Jiang Lili's incident)
(so far, I have not recovered to a state where I can use my abilities again). Regarding the results of Lin Qianyi's treatment, we discussed and decided to imprison Lin Qianyi in the archaeological base before the rescuers arrived.
in a warehouse where cultural relics are stored.
Because that warehouse is dedicated to storing cultural relics excavated from the ruins, it has the strictest security measures in the entire base: a large iron door three centimeters thick. The iron door can only be opened with a special key from the outside. The house
There are no windows inside, and there is only one vent that can barely let rats in and out. Therefore, as long as the door is locked, Lin Qianyi will not be able to leave there unless someone helps.
Three people escorted Lin Qianyi to the warehouse. Feng Chun asked me to watch her first, while I and Chen Meiyang went nearby to find the key to the warehouse.
While they were leaving, I whispered in Lin Qianyi's ear: "Sister Lin, just have a good rest here. I will bring you food and water regularly."
After hearing my words, Lin Qianyi, who had been silent all this time, turned around. It must be said that the emotion in her eyes at this moment was full of disappointment and helplessness.
I didn't dare to look directly into her eyes, so I could only lower my head and look at my toes.
But at this moment, Lin Qianyi suddenly called me: "Four-nine!"
I raised my head and said, "Sister Lin, is there anything else you can do?"
Lin Qianyi looked at me and whispered: "Sijiu, have you ever thought about what I would do if the deformed Gu worm attacks me when you lock me in this warehouse?"
"This..." I was a little speechless for a moment. Indeed, being locked in this warehouse that can only be opened from the outside means that once Lin Qianyi encounters danger, she will almost have no way to retreat. And because this warehouse is far away from us
The resting place is far away now, so even if there is any movement here, it is difficult for us to notice it immediately.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a bit in a dilemma.
At this time, Feng Chun's voice suddenly sounded from a room next door: "Found it!"
Seeing that they had found the key and were about to come out, I suddenly had an idea in my heart. So, I secretly put the dagger I had just picked up into Lin Qianyi's hand.
Lin Qianyi took the dagger in surprise and said, "Sijiu, what are you..."
I saw that Feng Chun and the others hadn't come out yet, so I took the time to say: "Sister Lin, you have hidden this thing, just use it for self-defense. Locking you up was a decision made by the three of us after discussion. I can't refute it.
But I decided to trust you once. No matter what, I will definitely trust you!"
"Four-nine..." Lin Qianyi looked at me and wanted to speak, but at this time, my eyes had noticed the figures of Feng Chun and Feng Chun, so I gave her a gentle push and signaled her to hide the dagger quickly.
By the time Feng Chun and the others came over, Lin Qianyi had already stuffed the dagger into her clothes.
Feng Chun and the other two didn't even notice our little move just now. They walked over directly, opened the door of the warehouse, and pushed Lin Qianyi in.
Bang!
The door of the warehouse slowly closed in front of my eyes. After Feng Chun locked the door, he said to me: "Comrade Lin, because of your relationship with Miss Lin, I discussed this key with Xiao Chen and decided that I should give it first."
Come and keep it, do you have any objection?"
They were asking for my opinion, but obviously, even if I refused, they wouldn't be able to hand over the key to me, so I naturally didn't waste any words and just nodded in agreement.
After locking up Lin Qianyi, the three of them returned to the camp in silence. When they were about to go back to their houses to sleep, Chen Meiyang suddenly stopped me.
"Comrade Lin...are the guns of Miss Lin and Officer Hu on you?"
I opened my clothes and showed them a total of four guns, including those held by Officer Mu and myself, and then asked Chen Meiyang what happened.
"This..." Chen Meiyang glanced at Feng Chun, then turned to me and said: "Comrade Lin, what I want to say is that you are the only one among the three of us who has a gun in your hand. If you are also a shape-shifting Gu insect,
If so, wouldn’t we all be doomed? Isn’t it?”
I glanced at Feng Chun and found that when Chen Meiyang made such a suggestion, he also nodded frequently. Although he didn't speak, he had an expression of approval on his face.
I thought about it, took a deep breath, then took out all four guns and said, "Okay, what you said makes sense."
Immediately afterwards, I unloaded the bullets from the four guns and handed them all to Feng Chun. Then I separated two more guns and gave them to Chen Meiyang, and then said: "Now the bullets are in Mr. Feng's hand.
Here, there are four guns in the hands of Miss Chen and me. Without bullets, these guns are no threat at all. Are you satisfied with this?"
"Comrade Lin, we just want to eliminate some hidden dangers..."
"Okay, no need to explain, I also know your reasons."
After doing this, I felt that all the energy in my body had been exhausted, and then I stopped talking and went straight back to my room to sleep.
I was just lying in bed, but I couldn't sleep. I regretted it so much. I regretted that during Jiang Lili's incident, I had to show off my ability and abuse it. As a result, I couldn't use my ability at such a critical time today. I don't either.
I don't know if I made the wrong choice today, and I don't know if Lin Qianyi is really a shape-shifting Gu insect, or whether the dagger I left for her will become a hidden danger to other people's lives in the future.
However, to my surprise, after what happened that day, two whole days passed quickly in the blink of an eye.
In the past two days, our bad luck seemed to have finally ended, and the long-awaited good news appeared one after another.
The first good news came on the first day after Lin Qianyi was imprisoned in the warehouse. On this day, when we were having lunch, the satellite phone that had been silent for a long time suddenly rang. I took it out and
Look, I realized that someone was calling me through the radio function of the phone!
