After Han Tiexin and Xiao Fengling climbed to the third floor, they could still hear the obviously drunken laughter coming from the room, and they were secretly wondering, is this the top floor that Liu Xu talked about?Han Tiexin was beginning to reassess the credibility of what the prostitute said, when Xiao Fengling suddenly pulled him aside and whispered, "There are guards over there!"

Han Tiexin looked in the direction of Xiao Fengling's finger, and sure enough, there was a very narrow staircase in a hidden place at a corner. Under the stairs, there were two burly men standing on both sides, observing the surrounding movement vigilantly.

"There must be ghosts on the stairs." Han Tiexin said softly, "I've never heard of a brothel sending someone to guard the stairs."

Xiao Fengling nodded and said: "Let's not startle the snake, let's see if there are other ways to go up."

Han Tiexin said: "Since they have arranged guards at this stairway, even if there are other ways to go up, there must be people guarding them. I'm afraid we won't be able to go up Minglu."

"You mean we have a secret way?" Xiao Fengling looked around, thinking of a way to sneak upstairs without being discovered.

Han Tiexin took Xiao Fengling's hand and said, "Come with me, I have a solution."

Before Xiao Fengling had time to ask him what solution he thought of, he broke into a room led by his hand.In the room, a man and a woman were entangled on the bed. They saw two strange men barging in. The woman just wanted to yell, but Han Tiexin rushed over and knocked her unconscious on the bed. The man's face was red. Before the light faded, Han Tiexin knocked him out with a knife in his hand.

Xiao Fengling asked: "Tie Xin, what do you want?"

Han Tiexin pointed to the window and replied: "Since we have found the suspected location, we don't have to stay in this building all the time. We can go outside if we can't go inside."

Opening the window, Han Tiexin gave a hand to the outer wall, but felt that the place where he started was extremely slippery, and he couldn't hold it up at all.

"It seems that these people have already taken precautions." Han Tiexin said, "There is no need to paint any materials on the outer wall. Not only is there no trace of splicing, but it is also slippery, and there is no way to borrow strength."

Xiao Fengling stepped forward to touch it, and said: "Sure enough, it feels like a layer of oil has been coated on the wall. It seems that they have taken precautions. But at the height of one floor, even if you don't use your strength, you can jump on it. No problem."

After Xiao Fengling finished speaking, she kicked her legs and flew out of the window like a light swift. When Han Tiexin saw it, she hurriedly jumped out too.The two pulled out the eaves and turned over onto the roof, Han Tiexin said sullenly, "I don't even know if it's safe, why did you jump out first?!"

Xiao Fengling said with a smile: "If you don't come out to explore the way, you will never know whether it is safe or not."

"Then I should be the one to scout the way!" Seeing Xiao Fengling's indifferent expression, Han Tiexin became even more angry, "In case there is any danger outside..."

"Oh~ my wife~" Xiao Fengling had an unknown smile on his face, hooked Han Tiexin's chin and said, "I'm not your little brother who needs your protection in everything, if I'm afraid of danger, I will It would be impossible to survive till now. Our top priority right now is to find the 'Underworld' and the captured Lord Ling."

Han Tiexin shook his head helplessly, carefully lifted off a tile on the roof, and found that the top floor where the so-called old bustard lived was actually heavily guarded.Especially in a corner room, there were four or five guards at the door.

"Someone must be locked up there." Han Tiexin pointed to the corner room, and whispered to Xiao Fengling, "Come on, let's go over and take a look."

The two walked over the rubble from the roof, estimated the location of the room, and when they lifted the tiles, they found that the bottom was firmly fastened by strips of wood.And through the gap between the logs, they saw a person was blindfolded and had a headache, and his hands were tied behind his back to a chair. Because the distance was too far, the person was sitting again. Xiao Fengling and Han Tiexin couldn't judge the person who was tied up from his figure. Whether the person in question was Ling Yun, and the person's head was covered by a black cloth, so they couldn't see the person's appearance, but seeing his head hanging down weakly, with blood stains on his wrist, he seemed to be a dead person.

"Damn it!" Xiao Fengling cursed softly, "It's still a step late!"

"Don't worry, that person may not necessarily be Master Ling, so don't mess up your position first." Han Tiexin comforted, "In any case, let's find a way to get in first."

Just at this moment, the door of the room was pushed open, and a person came in carrying an iron bucket. Only then did Xiao and Han notice that there was a man lying on the ground not far from the hidden person. Iron bucket, there is a bracket on the top of the iron bucket, and a funnel is placed on the bracket, and water in the funnel is dripping drop by drop into the iron bucket below, making a slight and regular sound.And what that person was doing at this time was pouring the water in the iron bucket in his hand into the funnel that was about to drain.

"Tie Xin, what is he going to do?" Xiao Fengling asked strangely.

Han Tiexin also shook his head in confusion and said, "I don't know either. Could it be that the water is poisonous?"

At this time, another person came in, pointed to the tied person, and asked the person holding the bucket, "Are you still alive?"

"Soon." The man said while pouring water, "Since this method will never be easy to use. In half a day, he will definitely run to see the King of Hades by himself."

The person who came said: "The message from above is that this man is not dead yet, you go and give him something to eat in a while."

The man carrying the bucket asked, "Does the above mean to let him go?"

"No." The visitor shook his head and said, "Yes... play with him for a few more days."

"Okay, I understand. It's cat and mouse."

"Hehe, you're a smart kid."

Hearing this, Han Tiexin and Xiao Fengling glanced at each other, secretly wondering what kind of enmity it was that caused the "above" person they said to torture a person like this.
