Chapter 740 A Great Fire

  Zou Yiluan and the three people looked at each other with a blank face.

   "This...is there anything to say?"

  "Generally speaking, the number of steps in a house is fixed. It is rare that there are different numbers of steps on different floors. Especially this number..."

   "What's wrong with this number?"

  "How much is twelve plus one."

"Thirteen."

   "Yes, it is thirteen, and the thirteen sounds are separated." When you hear the meaning, you know that it is not a good thing.

   "But it's not right." Interrupted with a tall young brother behind Zou Yiluan, "Many of the stairs in my hometown are thirteen steps, and I haven't heard people have this taboo."

   "The situation you are talking about is to include the ground and the upper floors of the platform, strictly speaking, it is fifteenth."

  The little brother suddenly realized: "It turns out to be like this."

  Zou Yiluan looked solemn and brought the topic back: "Then this thirteenth level is..."

  "It is rumored that in some places during the day, it is considered as twelve steps, but at night, it will become thirteen steps."

  Zou Yiluan and others subconsciously turned their heads and looked at them. Just when they were talking, the sun slanting west converged its last bit of sunlight and sank completely on the edge of the mountains and rivers.

  Night falls, and darkness also envelopes the earth.

  Aware of this, the few shivered in their lives.

   "If you step on this step, what will happen?"

   "You may see something that you couldn't see before." Ye Wanxi said, turning her head and glanced at the three of them: "Are you going to go up? If you don't, I will send you down now."

   Logically speaking, there is such a strange situation here. All of them have already reached this position. I am afraid it will not be easy to think about it.

  But fortunately, neither Ye Wanxi nor the two have stepped up the steps, so there should be some way to send them down at this time.

  Zou Yiluan and others were panicked, but they were unhappy when they heard Ye Wanxi's words.

   "Go down at this time, don't you escape? No, we will be with you."

   "Yes, together, it's already here, how can there be any reason to look back? Known by other brothers, why don't you laugh at us?"

  All of them made the same decision. Ye Wanxi and the other two were not good at persuading them. They only stuffed Zhang Ping'an talisman with one hand, and then stepped onto the thirteenth step.

  Zou Yiluan and others originally thought that Ye Wanxi was so mysterious, and if nothing happened, it would be embarrassing.

  Who would have thought that as soon as they stepped on it, they felt that the sky was spinning in front of them, and when they opened their eyes, they turned out to be black and white!

  Fuck! The three of them exploded in their hearts almost at the same time.

  Before they could respond, someone came to greet them.

  "You guys, don’t come here, why are you lazy?"

  Three people: "???"

  As soon as Ye Wanxi and Jiang Lin stepped into this place, they knew that this should be an illusion. As far as they could look, it was a large but cramped office hall.

   To be precise, it should be an extremely crude prison.

  The bricks and dirt walls are randomly smeared with layers of dust, which looks really simple and rough.

  Ye Wanxi glanced roughly at the environment and the structure of the house, and recognized that this place should be the empty shell building they visited before.

  This hall should be on... the fourth floor?

   Said to be an office lobby, but in fact it is a "big room" with simple wooden boards dividing each work station.

Nearly 30 people were crowded in and out of the entire hall. Except for a dozen people who were trapped in the workplace who kept calling, some of the remaining ten people were guarding the stairs and seemed to be watching the wind. Sitting on a chair or sofa not far away, with shrewd eyes staring at a dozen or so people at work, it was faintly revealing a bit of shame and coldness.

  Zou Yiluan and others did not realize what they were doing at first, until one of the female staff members was pulled to the ground by a burly man who got up from the sofa and pulled her hair.

   "Bitch! What did you just call and talk to them? Want to call the police? Believe it or not, I will kill you now!"

   "It's alright, just drag it in and have a meal. If you are hungry for a few days, she won't be obedient if you don't believe it. When she first came in, she slowly became honest."

  Zou Yiluan heard this and immediately understood that this turned out to be an MLM den! And judging from the number of people, it is definitely a big den!

  The woman's screams sounded, and there was no pity for her in this business. The strong man directly grabbed her by the hair and pushed her into a narrow black room on the edge of the hall.

  The other people in the hall may be unbearable but cringe and bow their heads. They are silent, or their faces are numb, and it is none of their own.

  No one stood up to help her, and no one stood up to intercede for her.

  The muffled sound of fists hitting people and women's screams soon came out from inside.

  Zou Yiluan and the others sounded hard, but after all, they could not stop this evil deed.

  Ye Wanxi and two of them guessed something from this, their eyes flickered, and they continued to watch.

  After such a small episode, Ye Wanxi and others keenly felt the subtle atmosphere in the hall, which may also be the purpose of the abuser.

  Instead of taking the woman away for treatment, she chose to punish her in such a close place, so that everyone knows how tragic the fate of wanting to escape is, so as to frighten them, let them cooperate obediently, and dare not give birth to other thoughts.

The brawny man who came out of the small black room quickly left the dying woman behind, lit a cigarette while chatting with other partners, boasting of how romantic he was when he was young, and was subsequently caught by a few others. Call away.

  The brawny man who left quickly did not notice that the ashes he had smoked before fell and threw sparks with them. These sparks hit the ground on the just-photographed information paper, and soon a small round hole was burned out.

  This round hole quietly expanded, and then ignited the other paper on the other side at an extremely fast speed.

  A victim closest to these papers watched this scene, with a numb face and chose to be silent.

  The beating flame reflected in his eyes, adding a bit of anger to that wooden face.

  Fire, I didn’t notice it when I lighted it up, and it’s not so easy to control when it really burns up.

   By the time the people guarding outside discovered something was wrong, it was too late.

  This building is remote and simple, and there are no so-called protective facilities.

  Once the fire started to burn, it could not be extinguished at all.

  The people inside screamed and ran out, and the people guarding outside were not prepared for such an accident. After reacting, they did not think about how to put out the fire, but hurried to catch these young people who wanted to run away.

  For a time, screams, running sounds, and curses mixed together, and the building was in chaos.

  The most terrifying thing is that at this time, no one ever thought of the dying woman locked in the small black room.
