Chapter 898 The Third State
Unlike everyone else's opinion, Luo Binhan did not put the key to turning the situation around to get a weapon at the opportunity.Before the doorbell rang, he stared at Yu Xiaorong and Hannah at the entrance, while thinking about how to contact Momolo.

That might not be particularly difficult, because the guy Yu Xiaorong called Rhodes was a monster with special abilities.Unless someone tried to do a webcast to expose his monster identity to the world, he was obviously not afraid of individual policemen or neighbors showing up to help.And based on his ego, later on Luo Binhan can ask to use a computer or mobile phone to type, because he really hasn't written anything serious by hand for a long time.This request is likely to be accepted by Rhodes, but at the same time, the other party will definitely keep a close eye on him, and will watch him type every word on the screen with his own eyes.

He had to find a way to divert Rhode's attention for a while, half a minute would probably be enough.His thoughts went back and forth on this key issue, so when Luo De and Yu Xiaorong first turned to look at the door, he hadn't reacted yet.The overflowing melody on the record prevented him from hearing the whispers in the hallway, but Lot clearly gave the two girls orders.Reluctantly, they retreated toward the living room.Hannah returned to Malcolm's side, while Yu Xiaorong shuffled and retreated to Luo Binhan's hand, putting the unfinished water on the coffee table.Until then, the doorbell rang for the second time without haste.

Luo Binhan quickly turned his head and glanced at his bedroom.His phone was still charging inside.He considered whether he should take this unexpected opportunity to sneak in, and hurriedly sent Momolo a message.But he didn't move in the end.After all, the rooms are not close, and his right foot is still injured, which is a bit too risky, which is one of them.As for the other point, the rhythm of the doorbell was so familiar that Luo Binhan could guess who was outside the door.This made things more difficult, he thought, but perhaps several insiders could help.

He twisted his neck slightly, and looked at the entrance over Yu Xiaorong's arm.Rhode obviously didn't think that there would be visitors coming at this point, so he showed a trace of suspicion.He put the knife he snatched from Yu Xiaorong behind his back, and slowly approached the main entrance.That sinister and vicious tone made Luo Binhan immediately nervous, worried that he would give the visitor a hard time as soon as he opened the door.The doorbell rang a third time.Lot pressed the handle slowly, and flung the door open.

Everyone craned their necks to look out.Robin Han heard Malcolm even hesitantly shout "Be careful" in his Chinese with an awkward accent.It was a risky move (Rot had a knife, after all), but it wasn't really helpful, because the orchestra in the living room was building to a crescendo, making everyone's ears ache.With such a noisy background music, people standing outside the door couldn't hear what was said in the living room at all.

It's also troubling that the people sitting in the living room can't hear what's going on in the hallway.They could only see about half a week of rain, wearing a long black thin coat that was more suitable for spring, holding a computer bag and a long-handled umbrella, quietly looking at Lot in front of the door.Luo De must have said something to him, so Zhou Yu walked in generously.His eyes swept across the people in the living room. Luo Binhan didn't know how others would react, but he himself did his best beyond words.The look in his eyes, his expression, every little bit of his body language warned his best friend how bad the situation was at the moment.

Zhou Yu met his eyes with an unfathomable expression.He looked at the bloodstains all over Luo Binhan's body, and the wound on his right ankle that was deliberately exposed.He frowned slightly, and finally nodded calmly, putting the computer bag in his hand on the shoe cabinet.

"The police said you were in a car accident." He went straight to Robin Han, and Rhodes grinned secretly behind his back, "Is the injury serious?"

Luo Binhan almost lost his breath.Fortunately, Yu Xiaorong didn't have any friendship with Zhou Yu, so she immediately said sharply, "Watch your back!"

Zhou Yu turned around naturally.But that was too late.Lot closed the door with a smile on his face, buckled the inner lock, and then took out the damn long bread knife from behind his back.He rocked it gently, stepping closer to the living room to the beat of an opera stage.The trumpet in the brass horn jumped three short notes in a row, dubbing his silent and triumphant laughter.

"Another new guest." He raised his voice, speaking in English, "Welcome to the family gathering, please sit down."

Zhou Yu stared at the knife without asking a word.As a person who just found out that he had stumbled into the Longtan and Tiger's Lair by mistake, his performance can also be called calm.This is not very unexpected to Luo Binhan, because he knows exactly what kind of physique he has when he was young. This is exactly the kind of thing Zhou Yu is used to encountering: he happens to pass by the murders and ghost stories all over the world.But things may be different today.If he couldn't think of a way to save the day today, Zhou Yu might have to join in.Luo Binhan had no choice but to use this to encourage himself to cheer up and think about ways more actively.

"Is it robbery?" Zhou Yu asked.

It was hard to tell whom he was actually asking.But Lot takes the floor with a victorious gesture: "No, I promise not. I guess you're a friend of the family, and I'm here tonight to find an answer. There's no conflict between us. Take a seat Come, sir, please. Sit down, and wait obediently. Because I don't want to spend too much time on pleasantries."

Maybe Zhou Yu and Luo De coincided with each other on the issue of avoiding awkward greetings.He glanced at the shining knife again, then turned his head and scanned the sofa, from Yu Xiaorong to her mother.Robin Han estimated that he had some very natural and obvious problems in his head: there are now a total of six threatened people in this room, four of them are adults, and only one is injured.The only criminal who broke into the house was armed with a dangerous but not lethal bread knife.Luo Binhan couldn't help but glanced at the long black umbrella in Zhou Yu's hand.It must not be in Zhou Yu's luggage, it must have just been bought from the city today, or borrowed from someone.Strange to say, though, he didn't remember it raining today.

The umbrella has a rather thick wooden handle, and it's much longer than a bread knife, which seems to be quite suitable for wielding it to strike enemies.Under the current situation, Luo Binhan could not help imagining that Zhou Yu would push the umbrella forward and stab Luo De to the wall.However, the reality is not always satisfactory. Zhou Yu has never participated in any boys' fight since elementary school. His physical fitness is indeed good, but his fighting ability is difficult to be optimistic.Moreover, Yu Xiaorong and him are probably the only ones in this room who know best that the most terrible thing about Luo De is not a serrated fruit knife.

He wanted to open his mouth to call Zhou Yu to stop, and think of a way to stop him from doing stupid things.Fortunately, this time, the two of them finally had a tacit understanding.Zhou Yu didn't do anything with the umbrella, he just leaned it against the wall and walked towards the people on the sofa.He passed by Yu Xiaorong, whose eyes were firmly attached to him.Luo Binhan also hoped that she would not ponder any dangerous ideas.

This set has two single-seater corner sofas and still has enough space to accommodate one person.Zhou Yu could sit next to Yu Qingshu, or across from Luo Binhan.However, he did not do this, but moved the soft stool that had been left unused in the corner next to Luo Binhan.He looked suspiciously at the small triangular plate of cookies on the stool.

Robin Han remembered.That's the dessert part they purposely left over from dinner. "It's for you." He had no choice but to explain, "In case you come back early in the morning, there is a cushion."

At this moment, it seems a bit inappropriate to explain the problem of supper to others.But Zhou Yu seemed to be determined to sit in this position. He steadily moved the biscuit tray to the tea table, then sat on the soft stool, and bent over to check Luo Binhan's ankle.During this process, no one raised any objections.Luo Binhan couldn't help but glanced at Rhodes.Have you ever seen it?He said secretly in his heart.Zhou Yu's calmness is also well-known in school.

Rhodes' expression was hard to fathom.He looked at Zhou Yu carefully, and seemed to have some unnecessary suspicions, maybe thinking that there was some kind of conspiracy.Although Luo Binhan was happy to make this person a little bit evil, he didn't want to involve Zhou Yu, a quiet and harmless ordinary person.He had no choice but to pull Zhou Yu up with restraint as much as possible, and told the other party that his foot was only slightly injured.

"Although the bleeding has stopped, it's better to disinfect it again." Zhou Yu said.

Luo Binhan shrugged and pushed his mouth towards Rhodes. "My feet are just a trivial matter," he told Zhou Yu and their current situation. "This guy who broke in is the trouble, even more trouble than the cousin who lived in your house before."

Zhou Yu looked at him quietly.Of course, the two of them are very clear about Zhou Yu's three-generation single-pass family tree, and there is no cousin who is close enough for Luo Binhan to know, but anyone who has taken care of Jing Huang will understand what "trouble" is like , or to put it bluntly, what is its nature.He wanted Zhou Yu to know what type of danger they were facing.

Zhou Yu must have understood this trip.He turned to look at Lot, who was also looking at him.The climax of the dance music came, and the violins and horns were chasing the beat crazily, tearing at each other so passionately that people could not wait to kick their feet along.In this melody that is cheerful to the point of madness, his gentle and introverted good friend holds half a biscuit and looks at each other quietly with the most sinister devil in the world.Luo Binhan couldn't help thinking about what he did in his previous life to witness such a scene.The military cymbals hit his eardrums one after another, and the pipe horn began to pull the tune to the apex, followed by bangs and bangs in his head.Zhou Yu held out a hand—don't do anything stupid!He shouted in his heart, and then - the music stopped abruptly.

The stylus begins to spin in an inner circle at the end of the piece.Zhou Yu slowly reached out and took a piece of biscuit from the plate.He stopped looking at Rhodes, but concentrated on eating the rest of the dinner.The room was very quiet, the chewing was very slight, but it just couldn't be pretended not to be heard.

"...still eating?" Luo Binhan couldn't help but say.

"The work meeting has been held for too long." Zhou Yu said, "Stomach pain."

If it were another occasion, Luo Binhan might say that he was a bad reward for drinking too much coffee.But no one knows whether they can survive the night, maybe Zhou Yu never had another drink.This makes Luo Binhan can't help but wonder what is more important, is it overwork and stomach pain after working overtime?Or just a super-powerful psycho killer?

He tentatively asked, "I have stomach medicine in my bag...how about going to get some for you?"

When he said this, he looked at Lot, thinking in his heart whether he could win this opportunity.If Rhodes allowed him to enter the room alone, he would have the opportunity to contact Momolo with his mobile phone.He can pretend to search for stomach medicine in his bag, and send Momolo a distress message during this time, or don't send a message at all, he only needs to send a voice request and then mute the phone——

"No," said Lot, "I don't think so."

He folded his hands on his chest and looked at Zhou Yu steadfastly. He still looked suspicious and sinister, but he had already made up his mind.Luo Binhan was a little worried that he had some kind of misunderstanding of Zhou Yu, and took the strange characteristics caused by nature as the result of ability.But soon Lot lowered his hands, and under the bright light, his ugly face somehow repaired a little.It was no longer Gerd Schilling, nor was it the old monster that Robinhan saw through at first, but a face between the two.

"I want you to stay here in peace," he said softly. "Let's get on with business."

He walked to the record player in the corner, put the stylus back on the outer ring of the record, and played the overture of heaven and hell again from the beginning, and then ordered Yu Xiaorong to go back to the entrance.During the whole process, Luo Binhan found that something was wrong with his older sister.She should have taken the opportunity to send a message to him or something, but instead she stood beside him stiffly, staring at Zhou Yu all the time.

Luo Binhan coughed and kicked her lightly with his intact left foot. "It's your turn to tell the story," he reminded, "The devil in the glass?"

He thought this incident was enough to make Yu Xiaorong look at him with admiration.Yes, he had already guessed at her little hint, though that was many years ago.He can even remember every bedtime story of Yu Xiaorong, which can be regarded as a great achievement on the "Good Brother Quantitative Index Report".It's a pity that Yu Xiaorong didn't appreciate it, she just glanced at him strangely, and walked towards the entrance in a slow manner.She must have been absent-minded, and even bumped her shoulder against the wall as she turned the corner.

Luo Binhan shook his head, controlling himself not to pay too much attention to the movement over there.Rhodes will not touch her for the time being.Now it's up to him (and Momolo, who fell from the sky) to save the family.Taking advantage of the opportunity of Luo De and Yu Xiaorong talking, he lowered his head, pretended to pay attention to the pain of his right foot, and asked Zhou Yu quietly: "Is your stomach pain better?"

Zhou Yu nodded imperceptibly.His brows were furrowed, but he couldn't see much pain other than that.So Luo Binhan continued to ask: "Do you have your mobile phone with you?"

"In the bag."

Robin Han almost sighed.He glanced at the computer bag on the shoe cabinet, thinking how in the world would someone put their mobile phone in the bag instead of the pocket.Doesn't Zhou Yu usually look at his mobile phone when he is in the car or on the road?When everyone is concentrating on bowing their heads in the coffee shop, who wouldn't think such a guy who is alone in a daze is suspicious?At that time, Luo De would not be more like a perverted murderer than Zhou Yu.He had to put the target back on his phone again.It seemed that he had only two options: Either find a way to sneak into the bedroom alone, or insist that he was a handwriting illiterate, and then find a way to call for help under Lot's eyes.

These two things are quite difficult to accomplish, but with Zhou Yu's cooperation, it might be much easier.His eyes flicked to the left and right for a while, and gradually he had an idea in his mind.

"I need you to draw that person's attention away." He tried not to move his lips and said to Zhou Yu, "Look at my signal later, and pretend that you have a stomach attack."
