Chapter 17 Midnight Clock
By the way, it's water. Whether it's the Lijiang Mausoleum or Luoyang and the Atlantis Palace on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, it's all related to water!
Beckham suddenly realised that all his thoughts opened in an instant with the broken glass.
At the beginning, Beckham speculated that there was an underground river in the Lijiang Mausoleum that could flow into Luoyang, and the exit was under the Luoyang Underground Palace. In this way, there is only a reason to explain, that is, the source of this underground river is in the Atlantic Ocean.
But this is only Beckham's speculation, and the highest true rate is about 70% or 80%, so he has to go to Luoyang underground palace.
"What should we do now? We are surrounded. The number of people here is far beyond our expectations." Liu Xin suddenly said, then threw back the curtain twisted into a rope, leaned his neck against the wall and looked out of the window.
Yang Yu also looked anxious. He also took out the pistol given to him by Liu Xin and put his back against the door and waited for the people outside to hit him head-on at any time.
"Wait, we can't go out now. It's better to break through the front, but this is more dangerous. Let me think about it first. Brother Liu, what can you do?" Beckham grabbed her hair and her brain started to run fast.
"Did any of you have a closer look at the layout of this villa when you came in?" Liu Xin asked.
"No, my attention was thinking at that time and I didn't look at it." Beckham shook his head helplessly.
"We are not familiar with the pattern here. You just detected the situation outside. This is not easy to do. The risk factor is too high if you are not prepared to rush out." Liu Xin looked out of the window again, and there were already people wearing silver masks below.
"I doubt where so many people came from. It seems that we didn't see so much when we came in." Beckham lit his chin with his hand.
"I've seen the layout here!" Yang Qian finally opened his mouth.
"Is there any place outside where we can use it as a bunker? We need a buffer to get rid of them for the time being. Liu Xin asked.
There have been noisy footsteps outside, and the other party is getting closer and closer.
"You can't escape. I have long known that you won't be easily captured, so people have been arranged below. You can't fly now. Don't make unnecessary struggles." The slightly hoarse voice of the man in the golden mask came from outside the door.
"I think about it." Yang Yu stopped for about five or six seconds, closed his eyes and recalled, and said, "There seems to be another box outside. The terrain there is more favorable, and there are not many people. Their focus is to surround the outside, and then the people inside chase us. There should be a beautiful defensive force upstairs."
"Okay, that's it. I'll open the door, and you two will quickly shoot and suppress it. I'll find a way!" Xiaobei gritted his teeth, looked at Liu Xin and Yang Yu both nodded, and suddenly opened the door.
There are more than a dozen people wearing silver masks with knives and sticks in their hands, and only two armed attendants. And the man stood in the middle, and the golden mask was particularly prominent.
The others stood side by side and stood respectfully in front of him, making a way for him.
The gunshot sounded instantly, and Beckham rushed out, and immediately three or four people came up to hold him. Sure enough, as he expected, the other party still did not shoot in this situation.
It seems that he is determined to catch himself alive.
However, to Beckham's surprise, the man had always had a strange smile on the corners of his mouth, quietly staring at himself and others, motionless.
Aren't he afraid of hijacking him? It's so abnormal to stand there without fear.
Xiaobei did not dare to act rashly. This look like a cat looking at the mouse and struggling made him very uncomfortable. He felt that his movements were insignificant waves in the eyes of the other party and could not attract the attention of the other party at all.
But he can't be afraid now, because he knows that he has to control his mentality in the face of dangerous situations. If even the last line of defense is broken, it is to expose the back to the other party without any power to counter it.
He saw that there was a box on the third floor, as Yang Yu said, and there was no one on the third floor. This was a good opportunity!
"Quick! Railing! Jump straight down!" Xiaobei saw that there were no less than ten people on the stairs and wanted to squeeze up. He kept wandering below. Suddenly, he saw a fulcrum on the opposite side of the railing that could jump to the upper floor and hurriedly shouted.
That is, between the lightning and flint, Yang Yu and Liu Xin kicked away the person who pressed on Beckham one by one, and then kicked off the wooden stair railing and jumped up to the third floor.
The pressure on Beckham eased, broke free from the person who was pressing on her, grabbed the big chandelier above the hall and swinged over.
"Hist--" Xiaobei took a cold breath and turned his head to look. His arm was cut open by a knife. Blood kept oozing out, and sweat overflowed his forehead again.
Suddenly, he saw the man looking up and looking at the big clock on the wall.
Why does he want to see the watch? What time are you waiting for?
and others?
All this seems unlikely, but it is the most likely. The other party's expression was too unnatural and looked extremely stiff, which was different from when I first saw him.
The current time is 10: 56 at night. What on earth does he want to do?
"Xiao Bei, don't be stunned! Come here quickly!" Liu Xin pushed Beckham and woke Beckham from his doubts.
Yang Wei has been able to break the lock with one shot and kicked open the door of the box.
At this time, someone had caught up with him, but he was shot down by Liu Xin's magical shooting method one after another.
After entering the room, the world suddenly calmed down, and only three people's violent heartbeats echoed in their ears.
Beckham took a look out again with the door frame. The man was still standing in the position just now, but now he no longer looks at Beckham, but stares at the huge clock.
A pair of deep eyes emitted an intriguing light from behind the mask.
"Boom!" The door was kicked open, the sound of gunfire covered all the sound, and the sudden tongue of fire kept spitting out from the tip of the gun. The people below were unprepared and fell down one after another as if cutting wheat. The silver masks were stained with scarlet blood and looked somewhat deformed and ferocious.
"I just like to hold parties. How lively it is!" With a wild laughter, two figures, one tall and short, fat and thin, broke in from the main door, smashing the whole long table in their hands.
The two are very skillful in working together, and the time to change ammunition can always ensure that the other person is still covering. The man wearing a golden mask suddenly smiled.
"Crow! Camel!" Liu Xin didn't know when he stood beside Beckham, but his face was already full of surprises.
"Yo, cat, haven't you hung up yet?" The slightly fat man with a big bald head grinned.
"Camel, it seems that we have come early. It's really boring." The man in a black windbreaker next to him wiped the tip of the eagle's nose with his hand, smiled coldly, and then looked up at the second floor. Is this the guy? Humph, that's really good. In the face of all the powerful power, those little conspiracies are just children's games.
Xiao Bei was shocked.
Isn't that what the man said when he was talking to the man just now? How could they hear it? Do you mean?
"Cat, you are really careless. You don't even know that someone put a bug." The man called the camel laughed even more arrogantly.
Sure enough, Liu Xin checked his whole body and finally found a small button-like thing in his coat pocket.
"Ye Laosan!" Liu Xin's teeth rang and creaked, but he threw the things in his hand back into his pocket. But this time I'll let him owe it first and settle accounts with him after I solve it here.
It can be seen that he is surprised now. I don't know when Ye Laosan threw the eavesdropper into his pocket. Although he did not contact them, he was still monitoring Beckham and other people's every move, and then called these two people to suddenly appear in this way.
This has solved the urgent needs of Xiaobei and others.
lax, the crowd below suddenly retreated and retreated to various rooms in an instant, disappearing without a trace. Even the people around the man with the golden mask retreated, leaving only two attendants with guns.
The camel still hung its harmless smiling face, slowly walked up the rotating stairs with the crow, and put a gun on the other party's forehead.
"So you still have reinforcements." The man laughed and seemed to care about the barrel of the gun on his head.
Because half of the stairs were destroyed by Liu Xin and could not go down, Xiaobei and others had to jump down from above.
"If there were no reinforcements, you wouldn't have been so troublesome, would you?" Beckham came to him and stared at him.
"Oh, no, no, it's all the same result." The man smiled, raised his hand, stretched out a finger and gently pushed the camel's muzzle aside.
The dialogue between the two and the man's movements are amazing.
"What are they talking about?" The crow turned his head and looked at Liu Xin.
"I don't know." Liu Xin is also confused at this moment.
"Don't ask me, I don't know." The camel shrugged helplessly, but although the muzzle of the gun was not on the other party's forehead, it still pointed to the other party tightly. While laughing, there was no offset goal, which was cautious and terrible.
Is this person desperate? Looking at his calm push of the muzzle, it seems that his head is not his. He doesn't care if there is a gunshot, and his head will become no different from the broken watermelon.
Or Xiaobei's head is funny? Why does it feel like admitting defeat? All this came too suddenly and strangely.
The two looked up at the big wall clock at the same time.
"Ding Dong!" The hour hand pointed to twelve o'clock, and unconsciously it was midnight.
A strong wind suddenly hung outside.
"Are you waiting for now? But I still have to fight hard." Beckham said faintly, then turned around and pulled the chandelier and jumped back to the third floor. Just then, the camel found that the golden mask he was staring at suddenly disappeared!
The slightly hoarse voice seemed to emerge from all directions in an instant and surrounded them.
"The feast of death has just begun..."
