Not a single light on the second floor was on, and the corridor fell into a dark and gloomy trance. Only the windows that were widely spaced cast bursts of faint light that flickered into the corridor.
.The fire beating outside distorted the skylight and turned it red, dyeing the corridor into an uncertain light and dark state, making it swaying.
The two of them held their breath, stepped lightly, and walked up the steps step by step.
In the room where Mayor Aoye knocked Yu Yuan out with a blow, the door panel has now been restored to its original state, and it is as quiet as if the fight had never happened. Lin Sanjiu swept in along the crack in the door.
She glanced at it, but was shocked: on the wall behind the office desk, there was a huge mural of Montenegro, which actually took up the entire wall; at first glance, she almost thought that the Montenegro had been moved again.
Location.
Apart from the Black Mountain mural, the office looks ordinary and empty.
Mayor Aoye is obviously not here.
Lin Sanjiu glanced at Yu Yuan, and both of them frowned. They both cast their gazes deep into the corridor and glanced at the office doors in the distance.
Yu Yuan silently made a "find" sign. She nodded and pressed the rifle tightly. The gun body was still hot and she had not calmed down from the crazy venting just now.
He stretched out the muzzle of his gun and gently pushed open the next door. The door shaft was well maintained and slid open quietly, revealing a small room covered with carpets and only furnished with a couch and tea.
The two looked around carefully and realized that it was connected to the large office just now by an inner door, and seemed to form a suite together.
After searching one by one, when they came to the penultimate door at the end of the corridor, they suddenly stopped at the same time.
A very slight "click-click" sound, which is almost imperceptible unless you listen closely, came intermittently from behind the door.
It didn't sound like it was coming from a human being, but more like the sound of a window being blown by the wind when it was not closed properly. Lin Sanjiu motioned to Yu Yuan to keep an eye on her at the door, and then stepped away, silently.
Sliding into the room.
This office is very narrow and has no windows. The tall filing cabinets are placed in rows on the ceiling, blocking most of the light cast by the fluorescent lamps; in the dim room, there are countless dust and the gentle "click" floating in the room.
"Click" sound.
She followed the source of the sound, walked closer step by step, and slowly walked around a desk in the corner. Compared with Mayor Aoye's desk, this place was actually more like a cage with boards around it; she
Gently raising the rifle, his eyes and the muzzle fell on the group of people under the table.
It was indeed a "group" of people - it was hard for her to imagine how such a fat person could huddle into such a narrow space under the table, and even hold the table under the table so airtight; that "ta-da" lightness
The sound sounded clearer now, coming from his uncontrollable teeth. Lin Sanjiu raised the muzzle of his gun and whispered to him: "Come out!"
A gleam of light flashed in the darkness under the table. It turned out that the corners of the man's eyes were wet, and he was so frightened that he cried.
When he was shivering and squeezing out from under the table, Yu Yuan poked his head in and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"
"There's someone here," Lin Sanjiu stared at the fat man - he was like a sausage squeezed out from a piece of meat, slowly expanding outside the table. She glanced at him and felt something in her heart.
Guess: "Are you a staff member here?"
"Yes, yes..."
It is also the face of a standard Peanuts Town citizen: the facial features seem to be about to be submerged in a sea of flesh.
"Where's Oye?"
"Zhen, the mayor... is gone..." The wet eyes rolled around, and when they touched Yu Yuan who was standing at the door with one missing arm, he immediately shrank back, and his face turned pale again.
"I don't know where he went..."
He looked like he wanted to beg for mercy, but he didn't dare to beg for mercy. His face was covered with sweat; when he was pinned by the muzzle of the gun, he couldn't help but burp.
"When was the last time you saw him?" Lin Sanjiu asked in a low voice. This town hall only has two floors, and Mayor Aoye is nowhere to be seen at this time. Maybe it's because he has already left.
.
"Today, this morning, after everyone finished their walk." The fat man replied, looking at the muzzle of the gun and Yu Yuan. His lips moved one after another, as if he was controlling vomiting. "I...you guys are like this
……I……"
Yu Yuan suddenly walked in a few steps and looked straight at him. Lin Sanjiu also noticed something was wrong at this time, took a few steps back warily, and frowned: "What did you eat?"
The fat man didn't speak, but still pursed his thin lips tightly and kept swallowing saliva. Sweat continued to seep out from his body, layer after layer, quickly soaking through his clothes, almost like a human-shaped shower head
Same.
Yu Yuan's eyebrows twitched and he suddenly shouted: "Get out quickly!"
"The mayor... let me eat..."
The fat man rolled up the whites of his eyes little by little and watched as the two men rushed towards the door. A face like a sea of flesh became twisted. When the fear disappeared in an instant, it was filled with hatred so thick that he almost jumped out.
"You guys -" he opened his mouth and his voice was sharp and harsh. Lin Sanjiu didn't hear clearly what he said next, because when she and Yu Yuan rushed out of the door and threw themselves into the corridor, the room behind them suddenly exploded.
There was a dazzling fire.
With a "boom", the air wave threw the two of them against the opposite wall; countless broken door panels, broken bricks, and the aftermath of the explosion hit the two of them one after another, hitting their internal organs directly.
Roiling, vision darkened - Lin Sanjiu couldn't see or hear anything for a moment, and even his thoughts were blank. Only a soul was left, as if he was about to struggle out of the crushed and broken body.
Even though they reacted quickly, they were hit hard by the explosive that the fat man had eaten.
When Lin Sanjiu finally felt the pain again, she hurriedly turned over and reached out to grab Yu Yuan. Even in most dreams where the pain was not obvious, she could still feel the pain that felt like the muscles and bones in her body were about to break;
Just as she pushed aside a piece of broken bricks, someone grabbed her hand.
"I, I'm here..." Yu Yuan gasped from under half of the broken wall, half of his head and face were soaked in blood. But it seemed that at least his life was not in danger.
"What's going on..." Lin Sanjiu opened her mouth and felt the dust filling her nostrils and mouth. She retched a few times and asked, "He ate a time bomb?"
"It seems so."
She was stunned for a few seconds and understood.
If Mayor Aoye just placed the bomb in a certain corner, it would be difficult to set the time for the bomb to detonate, and it would also be difficult to ensure that the two of them would be right in front of the bomb when it explodes.
But if one person is used as a bait to attract them to take the initiative, the accuracy of the explosion will be different - the two of them must find the whereabouts of Mayor Aoye, and they will not let anyone go in vain.
Opportunity to ask questions.
"Are you okay?" Lin Sanjiu pressed her forehead hard, trying to stop the dizziness in her head. She was really surprised that the two of them could survive such a close explosion.
"You can't die," Yu Yuan supported himself with his remaining arms and climbed up shakily. "After all, we are still evolutionaries."
Although they lost the ability to evolve in their dreams, the consciousness of "being evolvers" saved their lives - if they encountered such an explosion in reality outside the dream, they would never be injured or killed; therefore
When they suffered injuries in their dreams that they believed would "not allow them to die," they naturally retained their lives.
Lin Sanjiu endured the pain in her chest, put her hand under the broken bricks, and fumbled for her rifle. As soon as her fingertips touched something cold, she heard a faint, hoarse voice speak.
"Don't move."
The two of them froze for a moment, and after several seconds, they slowly turned their heads.
The last room in the corridor was half affected by the explosion, and suddenly a big hole was missing. Standing behind the broken wall at this time was Mayor Aoye.
He pulled out a pair of white cylinders from the air and put them on his fists. He grinned his plump lips like a woman, but there was no smile: "I think you are determined to have sex with me."
Did you do the right thing?"
In the ruins of the half-broken corridor, no one answered him.
After a while, Lin Sanjiu broke the silence in a low voice.
"So you've been hiding in the last office? Is it that simple?"
"Simple?" Mayor Aoye exhaled from his nose and narrowed his pointed eyes. "It may seem simple, but I know that my plan will definitely succeed. When you enter this building, I
Just know...you will start from the first room in the corridor and search them one by one."
The dream script was fair. It allowed Lin Sanjiu to know the daily arrangements of the town police, and also allowed Mayor Aoye to guess their steps of action.
"I don't care what your plot line is," a layer of anger appeared on his round face, and an incomprehensible light flashed under his eyelids: "But you don't want to affect my town."
Lin Sanjiu immediately raised an eyebrow: "What?"
"I mean," Aoye shook his head and blinked hard: "Don't try to affect my plot line."
"What can you do?" Yu Yuan sat in the ruins and asked coldly: "Kill us?"
"It would be nice if it was that simple. Unfortunately, I can't kill you two... After all, I still need your dreams." Mayor Aoye slowly laughed, "However, I have a way to make you obedient.
"
He aimed two white cylinders at the two of them.
"You've seen this once, so you should be very familiar with it. I just need to remove all your limbs from their roots, and you can't do anything..." He couldn't control his laughter, and his cheeks trembled:
"At that time, this town will move towards its ultimate form, and I will complete my mission..."
