Long night dreams

Chapter 17 Two Can Only Live One (2)
"What are you going to do? You're about to release Lianzi. Guo Haoran couldn't hold back the anger in his heart and roared loudly. But the mysterious murderer in the camera was unmoved and continued to smile eeriely. His lips Tilted to one side, out of breath laughing.

Finally, he stopped laughing, and stood solemnly in front of the camera again, staring straight at the camera with red eyes.

Although the murderer was not in front of Guo Haoran, through the TV monitor, Guo Haoran seemed to see the murderer standing in front of him, those red eyes almost penetrated his internal organs, and read all his thoughts wear one.Guo Haoran couldn't help feeling cold all over his body, shivered uncontrollably, and shivered all over.

The mysterious murderer wearing a clown mask stared at the camera for at least 30 seconds. This 30 seconds made Guo Haoran feel very long. Time seemed to freeze, and the earth seemed to stop rotating.He didn't know what the murderer was going to do, he didn't know what kind of torture Lianzi would accept to face death.

After the mysterious murderer stopped being silent, he opened his mouth to face the camera, and said unhurriedly and word by word: "Guo Haoran, you are smarter than I imagined, and you are worthy of being a writer of suspense novels. However, I like playing with smart people, and I picked the right opponent from the start. I like excitement, and I like playing exciting games with smart people."
His voice was obviously processed by an electronic component that converts the sound. It was an extremely gloomy voice. The male and female voices were mixed together, and it was impossible to tell who he was.

He continued: "Eight people have died now, Writer Guo Da, you also know that I only need nine corpses. It is useless to have too many corpses, and it may even destroy my plan. So - I will kill another person That's enough. Guess, am I going to kill you or Lianzi?"
The murderer wearing a clown mask continued to laugh sinisterly again, this laughter made Guo Haoran feel horrified, he felt every hair on his back stand on end, and the cold feeling radiated from the vest to the Scattered all over the body.

The murderer stopped grinning, and turned the camera with his hand so that the camera could be aimed at him more accurately.He continued: "That's right, I have to kill another person. It's either you or Lianzi. Who I want to kill is not for me to decide. For the first time, I will give you the right to make the decision. Only one of the two can live , Guo Haoran, you and Lian Zi decide each other's life and death, let's have a fight between you, if you kill Lian Zi, then I will let you live. If you are killed by Lian Zi, then Lian Zi Zi will leave here alive. Haha, the most exciting game has just begun, and I am looking forward to seeing a wonderful scene. Guo Haoran, have you decided? Of course, you must first find the dark room I am in now , found here, you can kill Lianzi smoothly."
After saying these words, he paused and said the last sentence: "OK, the show has begun."
After he finished speaking, he unplugged the camera, and in the management room, the TV monitor in front of Guo Haoran immediately fell into a blind spot of white snowflakes.

Two can only live one, what a vicious strategy.

Guo Haoran didn't know what he should do, he wasn't sure if he really wanted to kill Lianzi in exchange for a possible way out.

However, as the murderer wearing the clown mask said, the most important thing for Guo Haoran now is to find the monitoring room.Only when you find Lianzi, can you have the opportunity to do the next step.

Guo Haoran walked out of the management room and came to the lobby on the first floor.

The hall was in a mess, and he saw that Wang Yang's charred body had been cut off with a left arm.Guo Haoran's thoughts fell to the lowest point, and he remembered that in the dark room in the stairwell, Ye Mei was also brutally murdered.He didn't know which part of Ye Mei was taken away by the cruel murderer.

He thought, if he died too, which part of his body would the murderer take?
Where is the surveillance dark room used by the murderer?

There is no doubt that the room must be in this abandoned villa.But where is it?Guo Haoran really felt a headache.

Suddenly, he remembered a sentence that Lian Zi once said, which was said when discussing the secret room in the dark room in the stairwell.It is possible that the hidden dark room is not parallel to the corridor, but lower or higher than the corridor.In other words, the secret room may be a basement or an attic.The room where the refrigerator was found just now is a typical basement.So the monitoring room used by the mysterious murderer, could it be a hidden attic?

Guo Haoran went up to the second floor alone, and there was a faint smell of blood in the corridor.

He remembered that he found a wooden box containing a crystal ball and a pyramid in the attic of Su Xin's room.Judging from the floor height, it was the only room with an attic.It looks like the other rooms won't have lofts anymore, so where would the hidden loft be?

Guo Haoran walked into Su Xin's room, racking his brains to think.Suddenly, a thunder exploded outside the window, and lightning flashed across the window. Guo Haoran's shadow appeared on the glass in the window, which shocked him greatly.

At this moment, Guo Haoran's heart suddenly moved, he seemed to have remembered something.

At the beginning, when I went to the hotel, I saw the bodies of Su Xin and Roger, which proved to be fake.Later, Guo Haoran and the others always suspected that Li Shoulian was the murderer, but it turned out that that was also wrong.Later, the power outage they encountered, the dark room, and the secret passage they saw were all proved to be conspiracy set up by the murderer.This shows that the murderer has been using cover-ups all along, and the murderer knows the abandoned villa well, maybe he is the former owner of the villa.Then, the murderer is very likely to continue to use blindness.

Guo Haoran raised his head and looked at the small wooden ladder leading to the attic - since there is an attic in this room, there might be another attic above the attic.This is the real blindfold.Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Guo Haoran's mouth.

Guo Haoran went up the wooden ladder to the attic of Su Xin's room.The attic was very dark and low, he hooked his waist and tapped on the ceiling of the attic with his hands.

Sure enough, near the corner of the wall, the echo he knocked there was hollow and dilapidated - there is an attic above here!

Guo Haoran groped to a slightly sunken place, then grabbed it and pulled it hard. With a "bang", a big hole suddenly appeared on top of his head, and a beam of light penetrated from above the hole. In the beam of light, there were countless dust dancing like flying elves.From another attic above, there was also a vague voice of "hesitating and fumbling", and Guo Haoran immediately recognized that it was Lianzi's voice.

Guo Haoran couldn't help the excitement in his heart, he grabbed the floor of the attic above, pushed hard, and made an extremely beautiful pull-up.In an instant, he was already standing on the attic on the upper floor.

Guo Haoran saw Lianzi, who was curled up in a corner of the attic and shivering.As soon as she saw Guo Haoran walking up, she immediately trembled more violently.Guo Haoran couldn't help laughing, he knew that Lianzi must have thought he was here to kill her, because the murderer had clearly stated that only one of two could live.As long as Guo Haoran kills Lianzi, the murderer will let him live.For life, everyone has their own desire. If you want to continue to live, you must kill another person. Although such a proposition is very cruel, how many people can give up their lives and let others live? Someone rescued?No wonder Lianzi was afraid, when she saw Guo Haoran, it was like seeing a bull's head and a horse face who came to take her life.

Guo Haoran approached Lianzi, and first gave her a reassurance.He said: "Lianzi, I won't kill you! I will save you, and then fight to the death with that murderer." He tore off the strip of cloth from Lianzi's mouth as he spoke.

After the cloth strip was torn from Lianzi's mouth, she took a breath of fresh air, and immediately said to Guo Haoran: "I'm sorry, I always thought you were the real murderer, I'm sorry, I made a mistake."
Guo Haoran smiled and said: "It's okay, as long as you are okay." He bent down and went to untie the rope tied behind Lianzi.He was still whispering something in Lianzi's ear, but the voice was so low that even Lianzi had a hard time hearing it.

Suddenly, Guo Haoran asked Lianzi: "Huh? Why isn't your rope tied?" His question was full of doubts and surprises, and even a little bit of anger.

However, Guo Haoran couldn't ask another sentence anymore, because at this moment, he suddenly felt a chill in his chest, followed by a sharp pain.He looked down and saw a Tibetan dagger stuck straight into his chest, and the other end of the dagger was being held in Lianzi's hand.

"Why? Why are you doing this?" Guo Haoran asked, moaning in pain.

"I'm sorry, have you forgotten what the murderer said? Two can only live one. As long as I kill you, he will let me go. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I still want to live..." Lian Zi replied that her voice became trembling because of fear and guilt.

Lian Zi continued to explain: "After he finished talking in front of the camera, he untied me and gave me this Tibetan dagger. Guo Haoran, do you know? You will never be able to defeat that terrible devil! As long as he is willing , he could have killed us all long ago. It's because he knew we couldn't beat him that he made the game so long, just to make us suffer a little more. We had no chance, so I just put the last Give him the opportunity, I hope he can keep his promise and let me go after seeing me kill you."
Guo Haoran still wanted to say something, but the great pain made him no longer have the extra strength to speak out.The organs of his face were contorted, and he closed his eyes in despair.

In the chaotic darkness, Guo Haoran felt himself getting colder and colder.He was panting hard, but he didn't feel like he was taking in any fresh air.He wanted to open his eyes, but his eyelids were as heavy as if they were tied with an iron ball.

In the void, he seemed to see a man in black walking slowly towards him through the colorful ring in the distance, wearing a cloak and carrying a sickle—oh, that must be the legendary god of death.

It's time for death to take me away.Guo Haoran smiled miserably, everything was fixed in the attic above the attic.

He remembered that sentence again:

"Two can only live as one.

Lianzi held the Tibetan dagger and sat on the ground trembling all over. The blood on the dagger dripped on her body, making her look extraordinarily bright red.She didn't know if the murderer would keep his promise, and she didn't know if she was killing Guo Hao and would really get a way out.

The only thing she knew was that there were still cameras and bugs in this room, and the murderer could continue to monitor them.And now, the murderer will come here immediately after seeing her kill Guo Hao.The murderer not only wants to confirm Guo Haoran's death, but more importantly, he also wants to take away a certain part of Guo Haoran's body.

But, will he let himself go?Lian Zi murmured and cried:
"As you said, two can only live one, please, please let me continue to live. Please..."
At this time, the floor of the attic creaked, and a crack opened.At the same time, a hand came up from below and rested on the floor.
