Shen Shizhen

Chapter 132 The Pendulum

The house is very clean, it can almost be said that it is elegantly arranged.

Rows and rows of wooden shelves and metal frames were displayed in front of the two of them. Ai Fan didn't know exactly what those things were placed on, but he could guess what they were used for.

There was a cold light on those hard or sharp instruments, and the icy appearance made the soles of the feet chill. The empty space behind was used to place Carter together with the wall.

Carter was hung on the wall by them just as Ji Chuan imagined.

If you just look at people, you still don’t think there is anything, and there is no such thing as Ivan’s worst plan. The clothes on Carter’s body are neat and clean, and they can even be ironed, but there is a big hole on the ground directly under his feet. Dark red blots on the beach.

Perhaps because they were too nervous just now, neither of the two of them noticed the peculiar smell in the house, but it will be clear at a glance when the light is turned on and combined with the dark red.

Ji Chuan almost subconsciously re-examined the various tools in front of the two of them. He couldn't name any of them, but he could imagine how painful these things would be when used on people.

If it is Kirk himself who is hanging on it now, maybe he will silently sigh in his heart how amazing these people's ability to collect SM props is.

Ivan walked up to Carter in three steps and two steps. He hesitated for a moment when he stepped on the dried blood. After all, Carter's clothes were only tidy. If it wasn't for Carter being hung here , Ai Fan didn't even feel that the blood had anything to do with him.

Carter's hands and feet were fixed to the shackles on the wall, spread out in large characters. Ivan wanted to reach out and put him down, but just as he touched his wrist, Carter made a smacking sound.

Although it was only a very weak moan, Ai Fan stopped his movements cautiously, and said in shock: "What's wrong? Did I touch your wound?"

Carter hung his head weakly from the beginning to the end, and the words that popped out of his chapped lips became shriveled one by one: "Continue..."

Ivan was a little afraid to make a move. Carter was wearing a white shirt, his wrists and cuffs were well buttoned, and nothing could be seen from the exposed parts. He said worriedly: "You must tell me where you have a wound."

Carter's pale face pulled out a default mouth corner.

Ai Fan first tried to touch Carter's wrist, and then continued to move when he saw that he didn't make any more noise, but his eyes were heavy and his steps were full of gloom.

Carter didn't make a sound until Ivan opened the shackles on his hands and feet with a wire. During this period, Ivan observed Carter's face countless times. Except for frowning and sweating from the tip of his nose, Carter didn't make any sound.

Just when Ai Fan was about to help the person to stand on the ground, Carter threw himself on Ai Fan's body as soon as his legs softened. Ai Fan thought that he, like Ji Chuan, had not been on the ground for a long time and couldn't get used to it.

But Ji Chuan saw something was wrong before he took a few steps to the door with someone on his back.

Ever since Ai Fan went forward to get the person down, he sat on the corner of the table by the door and watched. Now he was far away, and he could see the problem with a few glances. Ji Chuan was so frightened that he quickly called Ai Fan to stop. : "Evan! Carter's feet are wrong!"

It's not like that.

Carter wasn't dragged by Ivan for these few steps. He had the strength to cooperate with Ivan's legs, but every time he took a step, the soles of his feet fell on the ground, and he suddenly collapsed as if he lost his strength.

Ai Fan, who had been restless in his heart, stopped immediately when Ji Chuan called out. In fact, the second time he touched Carter's wrist, he knew what he had suffered in the past few days. Those scattered pictures came from It flashed before his eyes.

He knew why Carter made a noise just because he touched his wrist, and also understood why Carter didn't answer his questioning. After all, if he told the truth, he might not have to do anything at all.

Carter didn't have a piece of good skin on his body except his face and the parts exposed outside his clothes, but Ivan didn't expect that they wouldn't even spare their feet.

When I helped Carter remove the shackles on his feet, I only saw his clean insteps, but never thought about what the bottoms of his feet looked like.

As soon as Ji Chuan reminded Ai Fan at this moment, he saw that the group of people in the vision took a few curved-nose pliers that looked like carving knives from these metal frames...

Ivan subconsciously wanted to put the person on the ground to see the wound on the sole of his foot, but he stopped when he started. Now it's the same wherever Carter is asked to focus. The dense wounds on Carter's body in the illusion made him unable to start.

Seeing Carter's powerless head resting on his shoulders, Ai Fan quickly calculated the next step in his heart. The outside was full of people, and both Ji Chuan and Carter had lost their ability to move. Even with Millie...

In other words, Ai Fan can only take one person away at most, and they can't leave like this at all.

But both Ji Chuan and Carter knew that Ivan would not give up on anyone, so they didn't take the initiative to say anything, and the situation became deadlocked for a while.

So far, Ai Fan has already seen that Ji Chuan is not lying down for a long time and cannot move.

Except for his five sense organs, Ji Chuan has no sense of other parts of his body. His whole body is limp and he can't move.

Time passed by like this.

Evan couldn't put him down either, he could only hold Carter while touching him as little as possible.

The longer the time dragged on, the worse it would be for the three of them. Ji Chuan's disappearance could be discovered at any time. If he hadn't gone out by that time, he would not be far away from being found.

The three of them were well aware of this, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Hide in this door can only be temporary, stay here and be found sooner or later.

The room was very quiet, and nothing could be heard except Carter's heavy breathing because of the wound being touched by Ivan.

"I..." Ai Fan had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by the sound of footsteps approaching outside the door.

The hearts of the three jumped.

Ai Fan quickly turned around to find a place to hide in this room, but he made a judgment with just one glance.

Ignoring Carter's wounds, Ivan took Carter to the other side of the door and stood against the wall in a few steps. He didn't forget to raise his hand to press the switch on the side of his face, and the room fell into darkness again.

The three people inside the door just heard the sound of footsteps and stopped right at the door. Ji Chuan was leaning on the other side of the door, and the electronic lock input device of the room was behind a wall separating him.

Ji Chuan felt that he even heard the faint sound of the person pressing on the input device, and his heart rose to his throat.

Even though Evan, who was supporting Carter on the other side, was ready to knock people unconscious when the door opened, he couldn't stop his heart from trembling when he heard the sound of password verification passed.

Ai Fan was not in a hurry when the door opened at the sound, the room was very dark, and the light switch was next to his face, that person would definitely reach out to turn on the light, and then...

But to the surprise of the three, the man came in and didn't move until the door was closed. He just stood there in a daze for a while before remembering to look for the light switch.

Compared with humans, the three of them are obviously better able to adapt to the dark environment, especially Carter.

The close distance made the three of them hold their breath, and even Carter leaned on Ivan's body with his head held high.

Seeing that the coming person was about to touch the switch next to Ivan's face with his hands along the door, Carter stopped him suddenly and Ivan was about to pinch the person's hand: "Lester!"

Ai Fan stopped his hand almost subconsciously.

He is a psychic, not a god, and he didn't dare to be completely sure who it was before seeing was believing, but the movements of his hands almost stopped involuntarily when he heard Carter's voice.

As soon as the voice fell, the switch was touched by the man, and the light turned on.

Ivan and Carter faced the man face to face, but when the light came on, the three people in the room stiffened their spines.

Ai Fan felt that he should continue to knock the man unconscious before he could react, but he relaxed after seeing the face clearly, feeling relaxed for no reason.

The three people in the room could see clearly that the unshaven man in a white coat and black-framed glasses in front of him was by no means the Lester that Carter was talking about.

But after a few seconds of confrontation, Carter spoke again. He said Lester's name again, and he was very sure. He heard it in Ji Chuan's ears, but he couldn't help but feel that he was just comforting himself.

Ai Fan's nerves were almost broken by the two people, one on the left and one on the right, his eyes were full of surprise, he stared at the person, waiting for his next move.

After realizing the current situation, the man took off his glasses and smiled helplessly: "It's really... I lost to you."

Although this sentence really didn't seem like what Lester would say, the three of them recognized it as soon as he opened his mouth, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Carter hooked his mouth frivolously after hearing Lester's words, and stared at him without saying a word. His lost eyes regained a gleam of light, and his small face was still gray. Te was angry and distressed.

Ivan put the person on his shoulders on Lester, and was surprised by Lester's arrival. It seemed that his face was the result of tinkering and easy work: "How did you get in?"

Lester had heard about Carter's injury from Millie before he came, and he was very careful when he took over: "You have been out of contact for almost a week, do you think we can sit still?"

Hearing this, the three of them were all taken aback, Ji Chuan whispered softly: "So it's been... a week..."

The three of them have been living day and night for the past few days, completely unaware of how many cycles of ups and downs outside.

Just as Ai Fan wanted to put Ji Chuan on the ground back on his back, he was stopped by Leicester: "You can take Ji out after I take Carter out in 10 minutes."

Ji Chuan endured for so long and finally found a chance to ask the question he wanted to ask the most: "What's going on with Millie, and what role is she playing now?"

After a lot of hard thinking, Ai Fan finally found a precise word: "Infernal Affairs."
