Chapter 1386-1394 [Busy Anonymous]
Underground passage, near the exit.
Jiang Xia heard the noise and turned around to glance behind him, just in time to see Matsuda Jinpei and Kiri Tengu floating back and making an OK gesture to him.
Jiang Xia continued to chase forward with confidence.
Just now, the sound of the explosion reached here. The moment he turned around to look behind him, the footsteps of Pu Siqinglan in front of him suddenly disappeared.
Some people might ignore this subtle change because of the sudden explosion behind them, but for the psychic who could borrow the ghosts' night vision, the grenade placed on the wall by the Scooper was not a sudden situation.
Jiang Xia looked forward again, oriented towards the nearest corner, and sensed the murderous aura that was stationary on the other side of the corner.
The ghosts were also hiding in the corner and pointed in that direction, indicating that there was an ambush.
Jiang Xia nodded slightly and hid a lot of puppet clay in his clothes as a protection - the bulge on his body might not look good at normal times, but now he was in an underground passage, it was pitch black all around, and the only light source was in his hands, so it was not a big problem.
Even if he was exposed, the worst that could happen was that he would finish the mission early and hand Pu Siqinglan over.
Well prepared, Jiang Xia bravely rushed around the corner like a good detective chasing a criminal.
Suddenly, a shadow fell from above, and a person suddenly pounced on his back, using Jiang Xia's momentum to push him down. Pu Siqinglan pressed his knees firmly against Jiang Xia's shoulders, suppressing his movements, and forcefully injected a tube of unknown medicine into his arm.
She pushed with her thumb, and all the potion flowed into the puppet clay.
Jiang Xia secretly turned his head and took a look.
When he was knocked down just now, he dropped the flashlight into the corner. The bright beam of light was directed to the other side, but was mostly blocked by the rubble. The light in the passage was still dim, and the puppet clay was padded in his clothes, so Pu Siqinglan didn't seem to notice it.
Jiang Xia: "..." But what on earth was it that she called in? This was related to how I should react next...why not ask?
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia imitated Vermouth and snorted elegantly and calmly: "Haven't you learned your lesson yet? Poison has no effect on me."
Pu Siqinglan originally had no intention of talking to him.
But at this moment, hearing the hidden sarcasm in the words, she couldn't help but sneer: "Do you think I will fall into the same trap twice? - This is just a tube of anesthetic that is enough to knock down an elephant. The real thing that can send you to hell is still behind."
Jiang Xia: “…” So it’s the anesthetic. Then he will sleep first.
He struggled a bit.
Then, under Pu Siqinglan's intense gaze and desperate suppression, he closed his eyes unwillingly.
Shi Kaobing held his shoulders tightly, feeling the resistance from below him gradually weaken, and finally stop.
She breathed a sigh of relief silently - just as she had thought before, although this terrible detective was difficult to kill, it seemed that it would take some time for him to recover from his dead state to his normal state. Just like last night when he was knocked down by potassium cyanide on the boat, it took him half an hour to reappear in front of everyone.
In this case, other drugs should also be effective on Jiangxia, but the dosage must be large.
Time waits for no one. After successfully carrying out the sneak attack, Scott pulled out the syringe and threw it aside.
Then she carried the captured detective, ran away quickly, and soon left the secret passage.
Pu Siqinglan followed the entrance of the secret passage and went back to the room on the first floor of the castle. She slapped the entrance of the mechanism and closed the door to the secret passage tightly. When she did all this, she didn't even wear gloves, because in her plan, this place would soon cease to exist.
…
Just now, when Pu Siqinglan was visiting the castle with the old deacon, he discovered that there was an independent generator here.
She found an oil barrel from the warehouse and poured it on the ground, from the inside of the first floor all the way to the front door, focusing on the office where the entrance to the underground secret passage was located. She felt relieved - once this place burned down, those people underground who had mocked her and Rasputin would never be able to get out again.
When she arrived at the door, she took Jiang Xia with her.
Although I really want to throw the detective into the fire that is about to start and burn him into ashes, unfortunately, it takes a long time to burn a person into ashes.
When he was climbing the mountain just now, Pu Siqinglan found that there was a fire station at the foot of the mountain. If the castle caught fire, it would be discovered there quickly. No matter whether the fire could be put out or not, people would be sent up from below.
There is only one winding mountain road, and if she continues to stay here, she will risk being discovered.
But if she just left like this... She was really worried that Jiang Xia would crawl out of a ball of fire right after she left. After all, "Jiang Xia's weakness is fire" was just a guess she had made that had not been tested.
Pu Siqinglan: "..." Once, twice, but not three times - she had already failed twice before, she would never fail a third time! This time she wanted to deal with this person personally, to see the whole process of his death, and never give him a chance to revive again.
…
He laboriously carried the person with one hand and poured oil with the other.
By the time she reached the door, Pu Siqinglan's forehead was already covered with sweat.
She had originally wanted to enjoy the spectacular sight of the burning castle and the screams of those people underground when they found themselves trapped to death, but now she was too tired to enjoy the mood.
In the end, she just hurriedly lit the incendiary material and threw it down at the door, then dragged Jiang Xia into the art dealer's sports car, got in the car and left. She had just stolen the art dealer's car keys in the dark.
The moment the vehicle drove onto the winding mountain road, a muffled bang was heard from the castle.
Pu Siqinglan vaguely heard the noise, but she had no time to look back. She guessed that something was burned down, ignored it, and stepped on the accelerator to leave quickly.
…
One minute ago, in the castle.
As Pu Siqinglan poured oil on the ground, Miss Spider's puppet took shape silently in the corner of the roof.
An elegant woman in a white kimono and a conical hat, shaking a few spider legs from her back, quietly hid in a gap that Pu Siqinglan couldn't see.
Then, under the command of the professional ghost warrior Jinpei Matsuda, she began to laboriously dismantle the ceiling in the corridor, prying it loose in many places.
When Pu Siqinglan and Jiang Xia started driving, Miss Spider hid behind the window and looked out.
After making sure the two had left, she raised the spider legs behind her and poked hard into the corner.
With a "crackling" sound, spider-web-like cracks spread along the ceiling. The ceiling, which was more than ten meters long, collapsed with a rumble and fell down, hitting the flames that had just spread, suppressing the fire that had just risen, leaving only the fire in the stone foyer still burning slowly.
