Jian Zhizhen and Qin Yubai listened intently to the sounds outside.
A muffled "thud" was heard.
Then came the gentle cry of pain from the beautiful lady.
It is clear that they have begun to use force against the beautiful lady.
Ms. Mei's voice trembled as she tried to communicate with them: "We will definitely meet your demands this time. You can write down your requests, and our Court of Justice will definitely hold a meeting to discuss them..."
Then her words were interrupted by a loud slap.
Upon hearing this, Jian Zhizhen and Qin Yubai exchanged a glance, both showing expressions of worry.
This time, it seems unlikely that Ms. Mei will be able to escape safely as she said.
The group kidnapped the victim twice, but their demands were not met, so they were clearly desperate and resorting to other means.
Ms. Meihao is currently communicating with them, but this only serves to delay the inevitable.
“It seems we still have to save ourselves…” Jian Zhizhen approached Qin Yubai and whispered a few words. Then, the bracelet hidden on his arm slipped down, revealing a curved blade inside.
I wore this bracelet the whole time on the second day of the mission.
Now it's finally come in handy.
She turned on the switch on the bracelet, and the blade popped out. After sharpening it for a while, the tape on her wrist broke off.
After her hands were freed, she quickly cut the tape off her ankles and then went over to untie Qin Yubai as well.
Qin Yubai walked to the bathroom window and looked down.
Judging from the distance, it's on the eighth floor, and jumping out of the window to escape would be extremely dangerous.
Jian Zhizhen looked around the bathroom, and finally his gaze fell on the "lighting control panel" on the wall.
She thought for a moment, then turned back and whispered to Qin Yubai, "Bai Bai, where's my bag?"
Both she and Qin Yubai were carrying bags today. Her bag contained her toolbox, while Qin Yubai's bag contained more than ten bottles of purified water that he had bought this morning.
Qin Yubai thought for a moment and said, "I just saw the kidnapper bring it up and casually put it next to the gate."
Jian Zhizhen could only nod: "It seems I'll have to get it after I go outside."
Losing the toolbox is a bit more troublesome, but it's not like there's no way to solve the problem.
She found a pair of laundry gloves in the bathroom, put them on, took the hair clip off her head, and pried open the control panel.
Qin Yubai immediately saw what she was doing: "You want to electrocute them?"
Jian Zhizhen nodded: "Ms. Meihao is wearing rubber shoes. They don't conduct electricity. We can stand in the bathtub later; it's dry there, so it'll be fine."
As Jian Zhizhen spoke, he hesitated... "This heater has a very high voltage. What if it electrocutes them..."
Qin Yubai calmly reassured him, "It's alright. Crimes like murder, robbery, rape, and kidnapping are crimes for which we have unlimited self-defense rights even in our own timeline, and we can legally fight back. The laws here are even stricter, so we can protect ourselves."
Zhenxiang Whitening Agent is the most socially responsible company. Seeing this with alarm, they've all come forward to educate the public and prevent children from learning these harmful practices:
[Chemistry or Mars: Generally, 36V is enough to electrocute someone... However, there's no need to be overly alarmed, as modern electrical appliances are very safe and convert 220V AC to a very small amount of DC (assuming they are not broken or worn out).]
If you step into puddles and suddenly feel a stinging or numbness in your legs, immediately hop on one foot out of the puddle and onto dry ground to escape.
[Xiao An: I saw a movie where a plugged-in hairdryer fell into the bathtub, and the male lead not only didn't get electrocuted, but he also gained superpowers.]
[Bing Sa: Hahaha, a foreign movie, right? There's a reason there are fewer foreigners. We Chinese people value our lives, so we make sure to educate everyone about safety. A hair dryer falling into the bathtub due to an electrical leak would definitely kill you. Zhenzhen wore rubber gloves, but I'm still a little scared.]
[Zhen Xiaohui: We kids wouldn't imitate what Sister Zhenzhen and Brother Baibai did! We just treat it like watching a hero movie!]
[Little Hey Meow: Speaking of popular science, I also have to mention that the right of unlimited self-defense applies to crimes that are "in progress." Even if you kill someone in self-defense, it's not illegal. For example, if you are being raped, it's not illegal to kill the perpetrator in order to save yourself. However, if it has already happened and you kill someone afterward, then it's illegal.]
Jian Zhizhen had already started disassembling the control panel, and Qin Yubai immediately began to cooperate with her.
He walked to the sink, unscrewed the water pipe under the sink, then took down the shower hose, attached one end to the sink, and stuffed the other end through the door crack.
After Jian Zhizhen opened the control panel, he took out the wires behind it.
Then Jian Zhizhen turned on the power, and Qin Yu drank plain water. After they finished, they quickly ran to a dry place to hide.
A moment later, a man outside exclaimed in surprise, "Why is there so much water? Where is it leaking?"
But the sounds of slapping and Ms. Mei's calm and composed communication continued.
It seems that most of those people didn't take the leak seriously.
Then, a male voice suddenly exclaimed, "My legs are so numb! Ahhh, there's something in the water—"
He fell silent before he could finish speaking; it was unclear whether his muscles were paralyzed and he couldn't speak, or whether he was electrocuted.
Then came a series of chaotic footsteps, shouts, cries for parents, and the sound of a door opening as someone fled...
After a few seconds, all the sounds stopped.
The roaring sound of the air conditioner's outdoor unit has also stopped.
Jian Zhizhen looked at Qin Yubai: "The power is out."
Qin Yubai nodded.
Their circuits are quite safe; they automatically trip the circuit breaker once they detect an abnormal current condition.
