Chapter 469 Pulling the Gate
At the small villa, Xia Zhizhi first closed all the windows while everyone was not paying attention, then lit a faint incense. After the other servants returned, Xia Zhizhi closed the door from the outside.
A group of people were busy all day and just wanted to sit down to rest and have something to eat. No one noticed that the doors and windows were closed at some point.
After eating and drinking, they smelled the incense made by Ah Ju. Soon, they all staggered and became drowsy as if they had drunk alcohol.
There were two people outside who were using the restroom. Xia Zhizhi knocked them unconscious with a stick and dragged them back into the house.
By the time she had finished doing all this, Ah Ju had already used her handkerchief to cover up all the security guards patrolling the ferry.
Then the two met in the villa.
Although Xia Zhizhi was busy with other things, her mental focus was always on this side.
The foreigners inside were still busy discussing win-win cooperation and didn't notice what happened.
Xia Zhizhi and Aju sealed all the doors and windows from the outside, and dug out thick ice blocks from the space, and surrounded the entire house with two circles of ice.
This thing was made when I was an educated youth in Mudanjiang. Sometimes, when I drank too much milk tea and couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, Xia Zhizhi would take Ah Ju to the riverside and chisel a lot of ice cubes to put in the air.
Her character of taking advantage of others is no different from that of a fisherman. If there are fish, she fishes; if there are no fish, she steals dogs; if there are no dogs, she picks vegetables; if there are no vegetables, she lies by the river and drinks some water. She never comes back empty-handed.
It is always better to be prepared. It is a good character. Look, it is put to use. The ice supply is sufficient. She generously built an artificial ice storage. Isn't it much better than an air conditioner?
After the arrangement was completed, Xia Zhizhi and Aju entered the interior through the attic on the top floor. Aju quickly changed her clothes and ran to the first floor, while Xia Zhizhi went to pull the gate.
There is no supernatural incident that does not involve a barrier, and if it does not involve a barrier, she will do it herself.
As soon as the power switch was pulled, the villa became dark in an instant. It was pitch black outside as well. The windows were blocked, and there was no light in the house at all. The group of people were like blind people, and they couldn't see anything at all.
The crowd was in a state of confusion for a while, and then the Governor's voice came through, and he comforted everyone: "Don't worry, it's just a trip."
After that, he called out his bodyguard's name twice in broken Chinese: "Awei! Awei!"
The security guards were all lying on the ground, and Xia Zhizhi didn't know which one was his Awei.
Ah Wei is the captain of his guard team. Although he is Chinese, he has always been loyal to his duties. When encountering such an emergency, he will definitely come to check.
After calling out twice, there was no response. The governor called out twice again after a while, but there was still no response. He then began to feel a little uneasy.
A group of foreigners who were slow to react realized that not only was there no response when they called out to Ah Wei, but it was also extremely quiet outside, as if all living people had evaporated from the world. They could even faintly hear the sound of waves lapping against the shore.
Some people who were afraid of the dark could not stand the quiet and eerie atmosphere and shouted, "Where are the candles? Who has a match? Light a candle first!"
There were matches prepared by the maid in the banquet hall, but it was dark at the moment and everyone was lost and unsure where the little things were.
This group of people are heavy smokers and heavy drinkers. It is normal for some of them to carry matches in their pockets when smoking cigarettes and cigars. What a coincidence, this group of people changed into new suits before going to the dinner, and most of them would not specially prepare matches and flashlights in their pockets.
Fortunately, there was a heavy smoker who said proudly, "Matches, I brought matches, I have some here!"
As he said this, he hurriedly touched his pocket.
Just as he took out the matches from his pocket, Ah Ju rushed over and bumped into him, knocking his matches flying out.
"Who, who bumped into me, the matches fell to the ground!" He screamed and quickly squatted on the ground to search for his matches.
It was dark, he couldn't see, and Ah Ju was not affected, so Ah Ju walked around him and took the match from behind him.
As a result of all the hustle and bustle, he didn't get the match, but his fingers were stepped on several times by the panicked crowd, causing him to scream in pain.
It was scary enough that they all looked blind, and then he screamed so miserably that the scene became chaotic again.
"Shit, what the hell is going on?" Someone with a good sense of direction cursed and ran straight towards the exit.
He reached the front door and fumbled for the copper door handle, but the deep chill from the handle made him shiver. He hurriedly pulled his hand back, feeling his scalp tingling: "The door is so cold!"
Another person who was closer to the door also groped over. When he got close to the door, he felt as if he was in an ice cellar. The cold seemed to come from the soles of his feet. He also touched the door handle, but his hand quickly retracted as if it had been pricked by a needle.
But he still mustered up his courage, quickly put his hand back, and then pushed the door hard. Of course he couldn't push it open. Not to mention that the doors and windows had been sealed for a long time, there were two thick layers of ice outside. He was not a strong man, so how could he push it open?
He screamed: "The door won't budge!"
The people next to him immediately lent a hand and pushed with him, but the paper did not move at all.
Everyone suddenly realized that the surroundings were a little bit colder.
The air conditioner had been on before, so the temperature in the hall wasn't too high to begin with. But after all this time, the cool air from outside seeped in through the gaps, and the temperature dropped a few degrees even lower.
It was summer and everyone wasn't wearing much, so goose bumps all over our bodies were frozen.
The alternating hot and cold air currents passing by everyone were even more eerie.
The people present were just richer, not braver. They were all scared and cried for their parents, howling like ghosts and wolves. I never thought that foreigners would also look for their mothers when they were scared.
It's okay for younger ones, but some people in their fifties or sixties still call their mother "Mom" and don't even know if their mother is still alive.
The door couldn't be opened. After pushing and shoving, everyone reached the window, but it still couldn't be opened.
Then everyone felt their way to the staircase leading to the second floor, which was also tightly closed. After they pushed it, it didn't budge.
There was a clanging sound for a while. The tables in the hall were overturned, the chairs fell over, the bowls and dishes were smashed all over the floor, and the food on the plates was trampled to pieces by everyone.
Xia Zhizhi sat on a window, folded her arms, and quietly watched them vent their emotions.
After extreme fear release, people will fall into a brief period of weakness.
Seeing that the group of people had almost finished their trouble, Ah Ju walked from the corner to the middle of the hall.
He first used something to draw a weird symbol on the ground, which barely resembled a formation.
Then he placed 13 candles around the room and quickly lit them all with a lighter.
He moved quickly enough that the candle seemed to light up instantly.
After the light appeared, everyone looked towards that place.
Then I saw a tall, well-proportioned woman standing in the middle of a circle of candles.
She had her back to everyone, and all they could see was her thick blond curls draped behind her and a white dress she was wearing.
