Zhou Tong Detective Series

Chapter 59 Zhou Tong Detective Series III: Paper Burner (18)
"I've been climbing for a long time, why haven't I reached the end yet?" Li Ying's hands began to feel a little sore.

"Don't complain, it should be here soon." Zhou Tong had already turned off the flashlight in order to save electricity.

"Oh..." Before Li Ying finished speaking, she stepped on Zhou Tong's head again.

But the strange thing is that Zhou Tong didn't shout this time.

"Are you okay?" Li Ying stomped on it twice more.

"If you step on it a few more times, I'll be in trouble! Come down, we're here." Zhou Tong turned on the flashlight, and found that he had finally reached the bottom, and a straight passage appeared in front of him.

With the help of the flashlight, Li Ying also saw the surrounding environment clearly, carefully climbed down the escalator, and stood behind Zhou Tong.

The passage at the bottom is actually made of metal, and the surrounding iron walls are as smooth as a mirror. With the light of the flashlight, you can even clearly see the faces of Zhou Tong and Li Ying reflected in the iron walls.

"This...couldn't this be the secret base of aliens?" Li Ying had an exaggerated expression on her face.

"You have too much imagination." Zhou Tong said while touching the head that Li Ying had just stepped on a few times.

"In short, this is a big discovery, and you have to remember that I discovered it. If I find something good later, I have the priority!" Li Ying's mind began to flash those scenes of finding treasures in the movie. , with a smile of excitement and joy on his face.

Zhou Tong was afraid that Li Ying would lose her mind, so she pinched her face with both hands and said, "Wake up, don't dream."

"You're just dreaming!" Li Ying broke free from Zhou Tong's hand, rubbed her red face, then kicked him hard, and said impatiently, "Let's go in and have a look."

Zhou Tong also wanted to find out what this place was, and before Li Ying urged him, he walked to the front and proceeded carefully along the passage.

The passage was not as long as expected, and there were no secret passages. After walking about twenty meters, an iron gate appeared in front of Zhou Tong and Li Ying.

In the middle of the gate, there is a striking carving of a monster with a dragon body and a bull head.

Li Ying pushed the iron door hard, but her strength was too weak, and the iron door only moved slightly.

"What a heavy iron gate!" Li Ying's face flushed red.

Zhou Tong didn't seem to hear Li Ying's words, but just stared blankly at the patterns on the iron gate in a daze.

"Why are you in a daze, help me push the iron door open." Li Ying patted Zhou Tong's head hard.

Only then did Zhou Tong come back to his senses, but he still didn't do anything.

"What are you doing? You've been in a trance since you came down. What's the matter?" Li Ying suddenly felt very scared. The Zhou Tong she knew before had always been a strange person with a lot of tricks. , but now it is uncharacteristically, there is an indescribable weirdness in the whole person.

Zhou Tong looked at Li Ying and found that there were tears in her eyes. Suddenly, an inexplicable feeling and warmth rose in his heart.For a moment, he seemed to forget all the anxiety and troubles in his heart, and he couldn't help but hugged Li Ying in his arms.

Li Ying was overwhelmed by Zhou Tong's sudden action, and felt her mind went blank.She instinctively wanted to break free, but she couldn't exert any strength at all. Finally, she raised her head, but Zhou Tong's fiery lips were greeted.

The soft lips and the passionate kiss seemed to have been experienced in a dream, but never thought that it would come so suddenly.

I can't think of anything, I can't see anything, I can only hold him tightly with all my strength, afraid that this is really a dream, and when I open my eyes, there will be nothing.

Suddenly there was a faint sweet taste in his mouth, and the man holding her tightly seemed to lose his strength for an instant, and his originally strong arms and warm embrace were loosened.

Li Ying opened her eyes in confusion.

Red blood, drop by drop, mouthful by mouthful, gushed out from Zhou Tong's mouth.As if a building suddenly collapsed, Zhou Tong fell to his knees on the ground with weak legs. He tried hard to stand up, but his heavy body finally lost his balance, like dewdrops rolling from the leaves, falling to the ground .

"Zhou Tong! Zhou Tong! What's wrong with you?" Li Ying hugged the fainted Zhou Tong in a panic, her face full of tears.

But Zhou Tong lay silently in Li Ying's arms, motionless.

Li Ying wanted to ask Yan Yongjie for help, but she was worried about leaving Zhou Tong behind. She hesitated, not knowing what to do, and burst into tears.

At this moment, the iron door, which was originally closed, made a harsh metal friction sound, as if an invisible hand slowly pushed the iron door open.

Behind the iron gate is a hall about half the size of a football field.In the center of the hall, there is a wooden altar, and on the top of the altar stands a cross that is as tall as two people.And at the tip of the cross, a woman in messy clothes was tied up.What is even more frightening is that there are tall firewood piled up around the cross.That scene seemed to be burning this woman alive.

Li Ying wiped away the tears in her eyes in panic, trying to see who the woman tied to the cross was, but the light was too dim, and she couldn't see the face of the tied woman clearly at such a distance.

But this was only the beginning, a white figure holding a torch floated out from behind the cross like a ghost.

Under the light of the fire this time, Li Ying finally saw clearly.

Red lips, black eyes, white face, there is no human life, because it is not human at all, but a paper man, a paper man holding a torch.

The paper figurine seemed to turn a blind eye to Li Ying and Zhou Tong, but the torch in its hand was tilted towards the tall firewood next to it, and it was about to be ignited.

Li Ying didn't know where the courage came from, she put down Zhou Tong in her arms, stood up, and shouted: "Stop!"

The slow movement of the paper figurine actually stopped following the shout.

Li Ying suddenly didn't feel scared anymore, she was even a little angry, in her opinion Zhou Tong vomited blood and fainted now, it must be the mysterious paper figurine in front of her.

"Whether you are a human or a ghost, I will reveal your true colors today!" Li Ying ran towards the paper figurine angrily after finishing speaking.

But when she just stepped through the iron gate, a person suddenly appeared from the darkness.The man quickly strangled Li Ying's neck from behind with one hand, took out a sharp knife with a cold light in the other, and stabbed it mercilessly into her back chest.

The knife was pulled out, followed by another slash, one knife, two knife, three knife... until the blood bloomed like a chrysanthemum, the murderer finally stopped and let go of his hand.

Li Ying fell into a pool of blood. She turned her head vigorously, but instead of looking for the murderer behind her, she stared at Zhou Tong who was lying not far away. She stretched out slowly towards Zhou Tong with all her strength. His own hand, but he couldn't reach it anyway.The trembling hand hanging in the air finally lost all its strength, and fell to the ground like a red maple leaf blown by the cold wind...

The murderer, who had been hiding in the darkness, slowly came out at this time, but he still couldn't see his face clearly.He walked to Zhou Tong's side, pried open Zhou Tong's mouth with bloody hands, and stuffed a brown pill the size of a thumb.

"What a powerful heart-wrenching Gu, it seems that it's time for you to restore your memory." A cold voice said.

Chapter 20 Lost Memories

The moment Zhou Tong embraced Li Ying with forgetfulness, his mind was almost blank, what's more, he didn't expect that the blood in his body would surge, and he felt as if his internal organs were overwhelmed, and finally couldn't hold on, and collapsed to the ground.

Li Ying yelled his name beside him. He could hear him, but he couldn't open his eyes or open his mouth.

When he heard Li Ying yelling and rushing out, and soon there was no sound, even though he couldn't see her, he had an ominous feeling, but there was nothing he could do.Still later, he felt his mouth being pried open and was forced to swallow a pill.

I could feel the bitter taste of the pills, but my body still had no strength, and my head gradually felt hot, followed by a burst of dizziness, and the last bit of consciousness began to disappear slowly, as if the whole person was about to sink into the bottom of the sea...Zhou Tong desperately Struggling, resisting the strong drowsiness, but maybe the pill started to work, the dizzy feeling gradually subsided, a cold feeling came, and the lost memories rolled out like a flood that broke the embankment...

Dark night, heavy rain, corpses, agarwood, grandma, Shi Da, Jindan, Wang Ke, as well as monster patterns of Wuzhai and dragon body and bull head...all those vague people and things are finally connected together.

That night, Chen Xiang knocked him out, and when he woke up, the first person he saw was also Chen Xiang.

Chen Xiang was dressed strangely, wearing a white coat and a pair of glasses, she looked like a beautiful doctor.The surrounding environment is also like a ward in a hospital, with white lights, white sheets, white tiles, and white walls.But the only difference from the hospital is that there are no windows here, and it is surrounded by a sealed space. There is only a closed door opposite him.But what surprised him was that there was a monster with the body of a dragon and the head of a bull carved on the door.

Zhou Tong wanted to rub his eyes, but he couldn't lift his hands up. Only then did he realize that his hands and feet were firmly tied to the bed.What's even more unacceptable is that, apart from wearing a pair of underwear, there is nothing covering her body.

"Chen Xiang, don't you want to play SM?" Zhou Tong looked at Chen Xiang with a blushing face and said.

Chen Xiang never dreamed that Zhou Tong would say that when she woke up, but she was stunned for a few seconds before laughing.

"You can still joke around at this moment, it's really not an easy character." Chen Xiang said while using her soft fingers to gently slide on Zhou Tong's chest and abdomen.

Zhou Tong tried his best to restrain himself, but his body showed no intention of compromising, and his underwear naturally swelled up.

"What exactly is this place?" No matter how thick-skinned Zhou Tong was, he felt embarrassed and had to ask in a serious manner.

"Wuzhai." Chen Xiang's sliding fingers stopped.

Zhou Tong searched in his mind, then shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it, why did you bring me here?"

"You saw something you shouldn't." Chen Xiang's fingers left Zhou Tong's body.

Zhou Tong immediately understood that it was definitely not a coincidence that he met Grandma and Chen Xiang, the other party obviously intended to lure him into the game.

"This is the first time I have seen such a sophisticated robot. You are definitely not a simple organization." Zhou Tong no longer evaded, and said bluntly.

"The more you know, the shorter your life will be." Chen Xiang took out a scalpel from the pocket of his white coat.

Zhou Tong looked at the gleaming knife in Chen Xiang's hand, and his heart tightened, he is not a person who is not afraid of death.But this kind of panic is only for a moment. If the other party really wants to kill him, there is no need to wait until he wakes up.

"Don't scare me, you would have killed me long ago." Zhou Tong didn't look at the scalpel again, but calmly looked into Chen Xiang's eyes and asked.

"You are really smart, no wonder you even put together the Japanese Jinling Society and the Russian Mafia." Chen Xiang couldn't help but stepped forward and touched Zhou Tong's face and said.

"It's easy to say, easy to say, can you tell me where Ai Chen has gone now?" Zhou Tong didn't feel uneasy at all, but enjoyed Chen Xiang's delicate, white and delicate hands very much.

"Don't worry, someone will tell you later." Chen Xiang put away the scalpel, and then pulled a cart, which was full of various syringes and medicines.

"It seems that you have no intention of letting me leave here alive." Although Zhou Tong didn't know what he was about to see, he knew that the more he knew, the greater the danger.

"You don't have to worry about it. The way to keep a secret is not just killing people." Chen Xiang said, picked up a syringe, and injected a light yellow potion into it, but what is frightening is that the light yellow There are many small bugs as thick as hair in the liquid, which are constantly wriggling.

"What is this thing? It's so disgusting, don't you want to inject this thing into my body?"

Although Zhou Tong tried his best to swing his body, trying to avoid the syringe in Chen Xiang's hand, but it was useless at all, Chen Xiang skillfully inserted the syringe into his vein.

"This drug will only make you weak and prevent you from making irrational actions later." After finishing speaking, Chen Xiang helped Zhou Tong unfasten the belt that held his limbs.

At this time, the door of the room was pushed open, and an old lady came in, it was Chen Xiang's grandmother.It's just that her back is much straighter now, and she doesn't have the Miao costumes. She has changed into the same white coat as Chen Xiang, and she looks much younger.

Zhou Tong was not surprised. He tried to sit up, but he didn't have any strength in his body. Now even a ten-year-old child can knock him down with a single punch.

When Chen Xiang saw Grandma, she completely lost the relaxation she had just now, she looked very nervous, and there was even a trace of fear in her eyes.

"Chen Xiang, you go out first." Grandma said in an orderly tone.

"Yes." Chen Xiang retreated towards the door respectfully.

"Also, regarding your behavior last night, the above means to suspend 'candy' for one day, which is a small warning." There was no trace of emotion in Grandma's tone.

When Chen Xiang heard the words, her whole body trembled violently, her face turned pale and she glanced back at Grandma.

But Grandma's expression was blank.

Chen Xiang didn't dare to delay any longer, she was a little out of her wits, and walked out staggeringly.

"Grandma, there is a big difference between the front and the back." Zhou Tong looked at the grandma in front of him, and said with some teasing.

Grandma looked at Zhou Tong without saying a word, her eyes seemed to want to penetrate this strange boy in front of her.

"If you look at me like that, I'll be shy." Zhou Tong moved his body unnaturally, he really didn't like being stared at by an old woman like that.

"What's your relationship with Ai Chen?" Grandma finally asked.

"We have nothing to do with each other, it's a pure friendship." Zhou Tong said with an exaggerated expression.

"Young man, if you want to get out of here alive, you'd better be honest." Grandma said in a threatening tone.

"Grandma, stop joking. If you wanted my life, I would have died a long time ago. It seems that I am still very important to you." Zhou Tong is very aware of the current situation. If they fail to achieve their goal for a day, their own life will be safe. "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Don't think that you can play tricks on you here." Grandma raised her wrist and looked at her watch. "There are 30 seconds left, and there should be a reaction."

Zhou Tong didn't know what tricks they were playing, but he was sure that nothing good would happen after 30 seconds as Grandma said.

Grandma stared at the watch on her wrist without blinking.

In a quiet room, Zhou Tong can also clearly hear the "tick" and "tick" sound of the second hand of the watch.

No more, no less, exactly 30 seconds.

Zhou Tong's mind was filled with the lingering fluttering of mosquitoes and ants. "Buzzing! Buzzing!..." From small to large, and gradually escalating into a huge roar, it felt like something was squeezing out from his blood vessels and almost split his entire body.And the sounds around her seemed to be covered with a soundproof layer, the voice of the grandmother's speech was blurred and distorted like an electronic device, and the patterns in her eyes kept shaking and distorting.The skin began to become cold, and Zhou Tong could feel himself twitching involuntarily, as if a kitten was scratching the raised goose bumps with its sharp claws, and the piercing itchiness gradually penetrated into the bones along the pores.And my own hands have no strength at all, I want to scratch but I can't touch them, I want to scratch but I can't reach them, I can only shake my body and try to use my flesh to rub against the bones to relieve the itching.

This sudden great pain caused Zhou Tong to fall to the ground, rolling around and screaming miserably.

The tragedy lasted for half an hour before it gradually subsided.
