Book of Darkness

(3-b, head of household: Qiu Xuefang and her husband) "Crack!" The light is on!

After Zhang Kunyue opened his eyes, he cursed habitually, and found himself in a strange and crowded secret room. Although the hour hand of the watch pointed to 12 o'clock, because the windows were tightly blocked by wooden boards, before the lights turned on, Like being in the dark night.There were seven or eight people around, who seemed to be awakened by the sudden light.Suddenly the room became noisy: "Where is this?" "Why am I here?" "Who are you?"

At this moment, a voice came from nowhere in the room, overwhelming everyone's shouts.The voice was obviously specially processed, and the gender and age could not be heard: "Hello, everyone. You are of different ages, genders, and occupations, and you don't know each other. The reason why I brought you together is to study the wonderful Human nature. Now that you are awake, go your own way. I am among you, from now on, try to identify me, if you do not find me in an hour, one of you will die , if there is no answer after the second hour, another one will die, and so on, until all of you are dead. From now on, please cherish the time."

The hour hand stopped at twelve o'clock at noon, that is, one second later, almost everyone began to look at others with hostile eyes, and some even screamed: "Don't come near me!"

"Everyone! Be quiet, be quiet!" Zhang Kunyue stood up and shouted: "This is a fucking prank! What he said is unbelievable, who knows if he is really among us?"

A tall and courageous man asked coldly: "How can we trust you? Who knows if you are 'that person'?"

Zhang Kunyue frowned and retorted: "You really don't know what's good..."

At this time, a middle-aged woman wearing pink-rimmed glasses stood up and said, "Whether 'he' is hiding among us or not, it is always right to be calm. How about this, I suggest, everyone introduce themselves, Get to know each other, and then we'll find a way to leave..."

This proposal was approved by all.The middle-aged woman continued: "In this case, I'll come first. I'm a reporter from Yanzhou Daily and a professional writer. My real name is Qiu Xuefang, and my pen name is Qiu Yan. If you don't believe me, you can search online after you get out. one time."

Before Qiu Yan finished speaking, another young woman hurriedly said: "You are Qiu Yan? I have read your book, it is really well written! I can testify for you." She was very happy, not pretending , Then, she added: "My name is Nie Xiulan, I am 26 years old, and I teach mathematics in Class [-], Grade [-], Yanzhou No. [-] Middle School."

The youngest boy among the nine people suddenly interjected and asked, "My name is Cen Kai, and I'm from No. [-] Middle School. I know your Class [-] students very well. We played basketball together. Can you tell me the names of the boys from Class [-]?"

Nie Xiulan thought for a while and said, "The ones who impressed me the most are Jiao Lei and Huang Peng..."

Cen Kai nodded: "It seems that you are not lying."

Qiu Yan seemed to realize something suddenly: "Wait a minute! We seem to have nothing to do with each other, but there seems to be a subtle connection!"

Zhang Kunyue wiped off his cold sweat: "Maybe it's just a coincidence. We don't know each other, even if we passed each other on the street, we may not remember it."

The tall man saw the eyes of the people around him focus on him, so he said, "My name is Gu Yuanfang, and I'm a taxi driver."

Zhang Kunyue just wanted to introduce himself, but was preempted by a fat man: "My name is Su Le, I'm in real estate, do you know Beidou Villa? That's mine." After finishing speaking, he raised his head proudly .

Cen Kai was stunned, and then said angrily: "It's you? Our family lives in Beidou Mountain Villa. You are really wicked. The house often has power outages, water leaks, elevators are always broken, the walls are not strong, and the sales are still good." It’s so expensive, we’ve reported the situation many times, but your company doesn’t even care about it, it’s really black-hearted!”

Another skinny man dressed as a migrant worker also stood up suddenly. He had been silent all this time, but now he shouted angrily in a strong local accent: "So you are the boss! You owe us the project money and you still hide yourself I'll see you. I didn't expect you to be caught here today. God has eyes, and evil will be rewarded with evil!"

Su Le's face that was full of vigor immediately turned dark, knowing that he was wrong, he bowed his head and remained silent.

The migrant worker then said: "My name is Dai Fuqiang, a villager in Dayu Village, Wanping County. I came to Yanzhou city to build a house for this turtle son for three years, and I didn't get a penny!"

There are three people left.A middle-aged man with a fair complexion and a dignified appearance adjusted his glasses and said, "My humble Lu Ming, a doctor at Wanghai Hospital."

"What do you have to prove your identity?"

Lu Ming was stunned: "You can choose your own medical questions, I'm afraid you may not understand what I said."

Everyone saw that he was confident and confident, so they didn't ask any more questions.They turned their attention to the last person.The man wasn't fat, but his belly was extraordinarily big, almost surpassing Su Le. He stammered, "My name is Sui Kaiguo, and I'm... an urban management officer."

Zhang Kunyue pointed to his stomach and said without hesitation: "Needless to say, he is another corrupt official."

Sui Jianguo glared at him, and asked contemptuously, "What about you? What do you do? Judging by your attire, you are just a low-quality hooligan, an unemployed gangster! Maybe you are a reeducation through labor camp!"

Zhang Kunyue didn't think so, shook his head and said, "My name is Zhang Kunyue, and I'm a good person."

Cen Kai was taken aback, and said, "I know your name. There are a few bad students in our school who always use your name to collect protection money, beat anyone who doesn't pay, and say that you are their backer, squatting Haozi, killing people without blinking an eye or something..."

Everyone looked down on him at first, but Cen Kai's last sentence of "killing people without blinking an eye" made everyone's hearts cool down to below zero again, and they all looked at him suspiciously.

Zhang Kunyue looked embarrassed: "What do you think I am doing? I was bragging, I just wanted to make some money to spend. I have never been in prison, let alone killed anyone! How dare I kill someone? If I am so capable, Still need to go to school to blackmail students?"

Qiu Yan ignored Zhang Kunyue, and she seemed to be the leader of the nine people: "Okay, let's introduce ourselves. Now we have to monitor each other and cooperate with each other to escape together."

Zhang Kunyue is a single-celled animal, and the body moves before the mind. He felt that the room was too dark, so without thinking, he took out the switchblade he carried with him to pry open the wooden board, and kicked the window glass behind the wooden board to pieces.Qiu Yan wanted to stop him, but it was too late.After the curtains were opened, there were many high-rise buildings outside the window, and the busiest downtown below.Everyone was stunned. They thought they were imprisoned in a secret room in the wilderness, but outside was a city they were all too familiar with. The driver Gu Yuanfang recognized the scenery outside the window at a glance and shouted: "This is Yulin Street!"

Everyone gathered to the window to look out, and sure enough, they were in the famous Wanghai Hospital on Yulin Street, and this room was a storage room for old things.Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Lu Ming explained embarrassingly: "I have only been assigned here for a year, and I am not very familiar with the new working environment. Besides, our hospital has seven or eight floors, and I am on the second floor." , it’s impossible to have been to every room, I’ve never been here, so it’s not surprising that I can’t recognize it.”

How did they get here?Led by Qiu Yan, everyone walked out of the room cautiously. For safety reasons, instead of taking the elevator, they walked up seven or eight flights of stairs to the door.

The door was facing the street, and they saw the bustling scene of tens of thousands of people crowding shoulder to shoulder again. Although it was only a day, they felt like a lifetime away and missed it very much.The familiar environment in front of them made them feel that the strange sound they heard in the room just now was either an illusion or a farce. They were not isolated from the world, they were still free!
