Sister Lan turned her head and stared at Zhang Ke in front of her. Her eyes, which were hidden under her bangs like curtains, seemed to be glowing with gleaming light at this moment.
"I, I want to instigate..."
What's going on? Why do you suddenly have a big tongue?
Zhang Ke didn't take it seriously and continued:
"I am... that... uh..."
No, no, what did I want to say? Why can’t I remember?
The throat began to numb, the tongue became swollen, and thoughts began to fly wildly. Even everything in the field of vision was immediately transformed into abstract lines, racing through the increasingly frantic field of vision, and finally turned into meaningless noise.
.
What's going on? What's going on? What am I doing? Where am I?
who I am--
A wave of sleepiness immediately rushed into his heart, completely knocking Zhang Keqiang's energy away. He finally closed his eyes irresistibly.
Until the moment before he lost consciousness, he was still staring closely at the woman opposite him, just like she was staring at him.
Sister Lan stood up, hugged Zhang Ke's stiff body without saying a word, and then opened a door in the corner of the room.
When—a sound that seemed familiar yet unfamiliar echoed in his ears, awakening Zhang Ke from the dark chaos.
"ah--"
He sat up suddenly, feeling a little suffocated, and couldn't help but take a big breath of fresh air around him——
Fresh? Not fresh at all. The surrounding air is a bit damp and cold, like the smell of a refrigerator that hasn't been cleaned for a long time.
But why is there no smell of blood at all?
Sorting through the thoughts and memories that quickly recovered, Zhang Ke remembered that he seemed to have been knocked down by Sister Lan. So now, shouldn't he have returned to the moment when reincarnation began?
He obviously touched a human body behind him, but unlike the previous reincarnations, there was no pungent smell of blood this time.
"No, this is not that room at all!!"
Zhang Ke rubbed his eyes, completely clearing the drowsy chaos in his head, and then suddenly realized that the surrounding was not an environment he was familiar with.
The old furniture, the green moonlight, the tragic corpses, and the sticky blood on the hands - none of this was there.
On the contrary, the area here is very small, and there are piles of old and rotten millet everywhere, making the activity space even more crowded.
The most important thing is that there is no decent light in the room, so it relies on an emergency light hanging in the corner of the wall to barely provide the minimum light.
"What kind of place is this..."
Zhang Ke stood up in confusion, and couldn't help but wonder if the reincarnation mechanism had really been deflected and the world line had changed?
Even the place where I was first resurrected was different. Is this a sign?
"Ouch... Ouch... Is there anyone there..."
At this moment, a faint moan came from his feet, proving that the body behind him was actually still alive.
Zhang Ke was startled, but immediately calmed down and realized that since this was not Xu Xiaoli's room, the person next to him was probably not her.
If you continue to reason, maybe this place is not the beginning of reincarnation after your death. I am afraid that I was just stunned by Sister Lan and imprisoned here.
After all, judging from the fact that there are no windows around and the smell of the air carries a strong smell of moisture and earth, it looks like it is in a basement.
I had misunderstood it just because of my habitual thinking. Maybe I was given some hypnotic drug by Sister Lan in the previous bowl of mung bean soup.
But why did she want to seduce him? It was so strange. I had always thought she was a good person before.
"What's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Zhang Ke knelt down and wanted to check the condition of the fellow victim next to him.
However, he saw a very familiar face.
"Zhang Ke?!"
"Han Gang???"
The two looked at each other in disbelief, and after a moment they asked in unison:
"How will you be here?"
"I was invited as a guest by Sister Lan and drank a bowl of mung bean soup. When I woke up, I found that I was locked up here. What about you?" Zhang Ke looked at the other party teasingly and said, "Didn't you take her to a Michelin restaurant?
What?"
"What I'm saying is that after arriving at the restaurant, she felt that the food was over-the-top, so she left halfway through the meal. After I sent her back, she said she wanted me to come into the room and sit for a while." Han Gang touched his still heavy head and said,
recalled:
"Then, she handed me a Coke cocktail that she made by herself. Because the alcohol concentration was very low and it was mainly a drink, I drank it without thinking too much - I remember that the Coke was very refreshing and refreshing, just like...
It’s like adding mint…”
"It seems that the methods used to bring us down were similar." Zhang Ke sighed and sat on the ground.
"Don't compare you to me. I just didn't expect this woman to actually use such a dirty trick, so I fell into her trap!" Han Gang said angrily,
"What about you? Could it be that you want to ask her to borrow money? You are so awesome. Do you want to borrow her money to repay my debt?"
"What are you thinking? I don't know her very well. She just asked me to come to her house as a guest. Who knew she would deliberately try to harm me." Zhang Ke responded unceremoniously:
"What's more, I want to ask you, what kind of rent do you owe her? Not counting her locking you in the basement, even I will be involved - no matter how you look at it, the problem is all your fault, right?
"
"Why should you blame me?" Han Gang opened his mouth to defend, but couldn't come up with any decent rebuttal, because at this time, he had similar thoughts to Zhang Ke's.
Yes, the most direct and easily thinkable reason why Sister Lan locked these two people here is because she owes her too much money?
This was a kidnapping, an attempt to blackmail his father, or to say the least, it was also a threat - at least Han Gang could only think of this possibility.
"Damn it, is it really because I'm a little late in paying the rent that I'm going to kill them all!" Han Gang was so angry that he hammered the concrete floor with his fist and said fiercely, "When I get out of here, I must ask you
Get the best lawyers and take that woman to jail!"
"However, I always feel that it is not worth it to take risks and do such illegal things just for one payment of rent." Compared to Han Gang, who was the client, Zhang Ke was more calm and analyzed:
"She is different from ordinary kidnappers. She can run away after she has done her job, and no one else knows her specific identity. As you said, once you get out, you can directly sue her for illegal imprisonment. This
It’s definitely not worth the gain, unless…”
"...She doesn't want me to go out at all." Han Gang's eyes suddenly showed a look of fear.
