Chapter 741: A Big Fire

The three of Zou Yiluan looked at each other in blank dismay.

"This...does this have any explanation?"

"Generally speaking, the number of steps in a house is fixed, and it is rare for different floors to have different numbers of steps. Especially this number..."

"What's wrong with this number?"

"What is twelve plus one?"

"Thirteen."

"That's right, it's the thirteenth, and the thirteenth tones are lost." Once you hear the implication, you know it's not a good thing.

"But it's not right." A tall and strong brother who was following Zou Yiluan interjected, "Many stairs in my hometown have thirteen steps, and I have never heard of people having this taboo."

"The situation you mentioned is counting the ground and the platform on the upper floor. Strictly speaking, it is level 15."

The little brother suddenly realized: "It turns out to be like this."

Zou Yiluan looked solemn, and brought the topic back: "Then this thirteenth level..."

"It is rumored that in some places, there are twelve steps during the day, but at night, they will become thirteen steps."

Zou Yiluan and the others turned their heads to look subconsciously. Just when they were talking, the west-slanting sun withdrew its last ray of sunlight and sank completely at the edge of the mountains and rivers.

As night falls, darkness envelops the earth.

Realizing this, several people shivered.

"What will happen if you step on this step?"

"You might see something you couldn't see before." Ye Wanxi said as she turned her head and glanced at the three of them: "Are you still going up? If not, I'll send you down now."

It stands to reason that there is such a strange situation here, and several of them have already reached this position, so it may not be so easy to think about it.

But fortunately, Ye Wanxi and the two of them have never stepped on the steps, so there should be some way to send them down at this time.

Although Zou Yiluan and the others were panicked, they were not happy to hear Ye Wanxi's words.

"Going down at this time, wouldn't it be a runaway? No, we will be with you."

"Yes, together, we have already arrived here, so what's the point of turning back? If other brothers know about it, why don't you laugh at us to death?"

Several people all made the same decision, and Ye Wanxi and the two couldn't persuade them anymore, so they just stuffed the Zhang Ping An Talisman casually, and then stepped on the thirteenth step.

Zou Yiluan and the others originally thought that Ye Wanxi's words were so mysterious, and it would be embarrassing if nothing happened when they stepped on it.

Who would have thought that as soon as they stepped on it, they would feel the world spinning in front of them, and when they opened their eyes again, everything in front of them turned into black and white!

Fuck! The three of them uttered foul words in their hearts almost at the same time.

Before they could react, someone came to greet them.

"You guys, why don't you come here quickly, why are you being lazy?"

Three people: "???"

As soon as Ye Wanxi and Jiang Linpu stepped into this place, they knew that it should be an illusion. As far as they could see, it was a spacious but cramped office hall.

To be precise, it should be an extremely crude cage.

A layer of dust was randomly plastered on the brick and earth wall, which looked really simple and rough.

Ye Wanxi took a general look at the environment and the structure of the house, and recognized that this place should be the empty shell building they visited before.

This hall should be on...the fourth floor?

It is said to be an office hall, but it is actually a "big room" divided into work stations by simple wooden boards.

Nearly 30 people were crowded inside and outside the hall. Except for a dozen people who were trapped in their work stations and kept making phone calls, the rest of the dozen or so people, some were guarding the stairs as if they were watching the wind, and some were watching. Sitting on a chair or sofa not far away, his shrewd eyes stared at the dozen or so people at work, revealing a bit of gloom and coldness.

Zou Yiluan and the others didn't realize what they were doing at first, until one of the female staff members was pulled by her hair by a strong man who stood up from the sofa and fell to the ground.

"Bitch! Just called them and talked nonsense? Want someone to call the police? Believe it or not, I'll kill you right now!"

"Okay, okay,

Just drag it in for a beating, and starve for a few more days, if you don't believe her, she will be disobedient. Who was not like this when he first came in, but gradually he became honest. "

When Zou Yiluan heard this, he immediately understood that this was a pyramid scheme! And judging from the number of people, it is definitely a big den!

The woman's screams followed, people in this business don't have any sympathy for women, the strong man grabbed her by the hair and pushed her into a small dark room next to the hall.

The other people in the hall either showed unbearable faces but cringed and bowed their heads in silence, or their faces were numb, and it had nothing to do with them.

No one stood up to help her, let alone pleaded for her.

The muffled sound of fists hitting the person and the woman's shrill screams soon came from inside.

Zou Yiluan and the others stiffened their fists when they heard this, but they couldn't stop this evil deed after all.

Ye Wanxi and the two guessed something from this, their eyes flickered slightly, and they continued to watch.

After such a small episode, Ye Wanxi and the others keenly sensed the subtlety of the atmosphere in the hall, which may also be the purpose of the perpetrator.

Instead of taking that woman away and dealing with it, he chose to punish her in such a close place, so that everyone would know how tragic the end would be if he wanted to escape, so as to deter them and make them cooperate obediently, so that they would not dare to have other thoughts.

The strong man who walked out of the small black room quickly left the dying woman behind. While lighting a cigarette, he chatted with other partners, bragging about how romantic he was when he was young, and then he was killed by several other people. called away.

The strong man who left quickly did not notice that the ashes from his previous cigarette fell and threw sparks. These sparks hit the ground on the data paper that had just been photocopied, and quickly burned a small round hole.

The round hole quietly expanded, and then ignited the other papers on the other side at an extremely fast speed.

The victim who was closest to the papers looked at this scene with a numb face and chose to remain silent.

The dancing flames were reflected in his eyes, adding a touch of life to that dull face.

Fire is something that I didn't notice when it was lit, but it's not so easy to control when it really burns.

By the time the guards outside realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

This building is remote and simple, and there are no so-called protective facilities.

Once the fire starts, it cannot be extinguished at all.

The people inside ran out screaming in the chaos, and the people outside were not prepared for such an accident. After reacting, they didn't think about how to put out the fire, but rushed to catch these young people who wanted to escape in the chaos.

For a moment, the sound of screaming, running, and cursing mixed together, and the building was in chaos.

And the most frightening thing was that at this time, no one thought of the woman who was confined in the small dark room and could not get out.
