Case File Compendium

The horizontal line is constantly rising.

Although this room has a lot of space, there is still a period of time to break through.But the door lock was broken and the signal was blocked. They couldn't open the door or call for help.

He Yu and Xie Qing tried all the methods, and when they found that they really had no way to save themselves, the atmosphere in the shooting cabin became very solemn.

The water has already reached the ankles, the water is cold in winter, and the chill of death is like a slippery snake spitting out a letter, gliding up along the ankles, icy cold.

He Yu suddenly took a shovel from the corner and struck it on the alloy door.

Xie Qingcheng: "...Don't bother, this kind of door can't be opened with a hard pry."

He Yu didn't say a word. After he punched a few obvious scratches on the door, he threw the shovel away, took out his phone, switched to the stopwatch interface, and started counting.

The floating light of the mobile phone reflected his face, and he said softly: "I didn't want to pry open the door, I was just calculating how much time we still have to breathe oxygen."

"..."

"Two hours." He Yu finally put down the stopwatch, looked back at Xie Qingcheng, "We still have two hours."

This is the answer to this death arithmetic problem.If there is no accident, after two hours, the entire closed cabin will be filled with flood water.

Xie Qingcheng didn't speak, subconsciously touched the cigarette from his pocket.

The cigarette case is empty.

He remembered that He Yu had already taken the last cigarette outside just now.

"...Damn it, why are you smoking my cigarette." Xie Qingcheng squeezed the cigarette case irritably, and threw it aside.

"What time is it, and you still say whether you smoke or not."

Xie Qingcheng looked up at He Yu, still irritated: "Then why the hell are you following me all the time when you have nothing to do?"

"..."

The more you talk, the more annoying you get: "...I'm telling you, He Yu, if you hadn't followed, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened. You really asked for it."

He Yu: "If I didn't follow, you might be dead by now."

"..." Xie Qingcheng said coldly, "It's clean. I'm the only one who will die like that."

He Yu's heart tightened inexplicably: "Xie Qingcheng, are you...do you think it's not worth it for me?"

Xie Qingcheng replied bluntly with a sullen face: "I think it's so clear that no one owes anyone. No one will take my last cigarette away."

"..." He Yu's face was bright, and he waded into the water and approached him, "Do you know what it means to die?"

"I'm a doctor. You think I don't know what it means to die?"

He Yu said: "Really? But I think you are a lunatic."

The sound of water in the cabin continued.

Xie Qingcheng looked away from He Yu.

Instead of arguing with He Yu, he took out his mobile phone and swiped open the screen—but the miracle did not happen, the signal source was still zero, and the alarm call failed to penetrate the barrier.

What He Yu didn't expect was that after the phone call failed, Xie Qingcheng found a jellyfish video from the photo album and clicked on it to watch.

"..." For a moment, he didn't know whether he should think that Xie Qingcheng's black sense of humor was too strong, or this person's calmness was too terrifying.

He stared at Xie Qingcheng's drooping eyelashes: "You still have this mood... We can't get out for two hours, you don't need to look at the jellyfish, we can become jellyfish ourselves."

Xie Qingcheng said: "Then what can we do now?"

He Yu choked.

There really isn't anything they can do.

Except waiting to be discovered.

He Yu leaned against the iron gate next to Xie Qingcheng, and stood shoulder to shoulder with him, looking at the floating jellyfish.

"Do you think this is a follow-up to the Radio and TV Tower incident?"

"Not necessarily, most likely not."

The water elf is gently swaying, coupled with the ethereal music box sound in the mobile phone, it has the ability to comfort people's hearts.

"If it's them, then you and I don't have to wait until now, most of them are already dead."

After the broadcasting tower incident, He Yu and Xie Qingcheng had already been exposed to that mysterious organization.But for such a long time, the other party has never made a move.This shows that the price to be paid for killing the two of them is greater than the benefit. The criminal group is not a single abnormal killer. People, the group knows very well that if you take this kind of person carelessly, you will be splashed with blood, and the gain outweighs the loss.

What's more, the fact that Xie Qingcheng and He Yu were trapped this time was entirely due to a coincidence - Xie Qingcheng wanted to come to the studio, and He Yu wanted to follow Xie Qingcheng himself, and they could have left outside just now.

The murderer wanted to kill them, probably just because they saw the scene where Mr. Hu was killed, just like the missing deputy editor and executive, they had to do it.

After a video of the water elf was played, Xie Qingcheng switched to another video.

At this time, He Yu suddenly said: "Xie Qingcheng, I have been following you, in fact, because I still want to know the answers to those things."

"Answers to what."

"You know."

Xie Qing remained silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "Can you give me a cigarette?"

"...you know I didn't—"

Xie Qingcheng's peach blossom eyes were very quiet: "You know that I can't."

The two of them stopped talking again, and the cabin fell into silence again.

In this silence, they didn't talk about Hu Yi, deputy editor or executive.He Yu and Xie Qingcheng are consistent in this aspect, they don't stand idly by people's dangers, but they don't waste time on fear and meaningless speculation.

Reasoning makes sense only if there is life out.

If you die...

Xie Qingcheng's choice was to watch the jellyfish video and wait calmly.

He Yu thought, what about himself?

Even at this moment, He Yu still feels that his life is not up to the mark, and the sense of desperation is still far away.

But he couldn't help thinking—

What if this is the last two hours?

what he wants to do.

What is he going to do?

He Yu thought for a while, but those broken and flashing images made him feel absurd and a little pathetic, so he threw away those thoughts.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The horizontal line has reached the chest.

The water pressure made my heart a little suffocated, and the height of the waterline was no longer suitable for looking at my phone.

The floatable objects accumulated in the cabin were all floating on the water at this time. He Yu found two plastic boxes and gave one to Xie Qingcheng, asking him to put his mobile phone inside.

"Although it is said to be waterproof, it is best not to trust the words of these businessmen."

Xie Qingcheng didn't say much, his face was too pale in the sparkling water, and the color of his lips was much lighter than usual.

He is afraid of the cold.

Not only is he afraid of the cold, such a claustrophobic space and the rising water level are also stimulating his brain.

He closed his eyes, the black eyelashes hanging like curtains.

The water level was a little higher again.

Now He Yu and Xie Qingcheng had to swim on the water, because the water level had already exceeded two meters.

Xie Qingcheng looked up at the ceiling which was closer.

He has been keeping hope because he feels that there may be a breakthrough at the zenith.

The walls here are smooth, and there is no point of leverage. The only way to see the structure of the ceiling is by the buoyancy when the water level rises to a sufficient height.Most of the ceilings of this kind of studio have hollow boards, and they will not be completely covered with bricks and tiles. As long as they find that hollow place, they may be able to go out.

Before that, Xie Qingcheng didn't want to consume too much energy, let alone lose his composure.

Time passed little by little, the water level was still moving up, getting higher and higher, and the distance between them and the ceiling was getting closer...

He Yu was lying on his back on the water, and he had to say that he was the best companion in this situation. A normal person would cry to death if he was not frightened when encountering such a thing, but He Yu was different.

He regards death as a car passing by on the street, and will try to avoid colliding with it, but he will not be afraid of the car itself.

"Xie Qingcheng, I know what you're thinking, you think we can get out through Zenith."

"..."

Because the water storage capacity is too large, the opening of the water pipe has been flooded, and the water is poured directly into the pool, so there is no such noisy rushing sound.

The surroundings became quieter, as if they were in a space that did not belong to the world, in the depths of the sea.

"But what if you can't find the clipboard?"

"..."

"What if the last road is also a dead end."

"..."

He Yu picked up his mobile phone from the plastic box floating beside him, and the countdown timer he had set was displayed on it.

"Then we have less than an hour left."

"And then die."

"Did you ever think that we would die together so unexpectedly. Die here."

"I know you're not afraid, but do you have any regrets?"

Xie Qingcheng closed his eyes and said softly, "Don't talk so much."

"If I die, I won't be able to speak in the future."

"...Don't think too much about it."

But He Yu suddenly said: "Xie Qingcheng, are you cold now?"

"..."

"I can hear the trembling in your voice. In fact, I'm also quite cold. Fortunately, it's two hours. If it's four hours, according to the current weather, we don't have to drown, we just freeze to death. Hypothermia .”

After all, young men and mature men are different. In the face of the threat of death, young men talk more than mature men.

Xie Qingcheng thought, He Yu is still too young after all, seeing the robes of the god of death, it is already very good to be able to maintain such a state.But he thought again, He Yu really had a bad luck, he asked for trouble, he had to pester himself, and came to this kind of ghost place.

As a result, one closed two.

"You can go out." Xie Qingcheng said, "There is a pipe opening on the edge of the roof, and now you can see the fracture of the ceiling, which is very thin. ... You don't have to be too nervous."

He Yu smiled: "I'm not nervous."

"..."

"I just feel sorry. Xie Qingcheng, I'm really sorry. I want to talk to others about a lot of things, and I want to know a lot of things. If I really can't get out—"

"We must go out."

"...Why are you so sure?"

"Because it's not time to give up yet. If you're not going to give up, there's no point in hesitating."

After hearing what he said, He Yu sighed softly after a while.

"You know? I'm not hesitating, I just want to plan for the worst - if I really want to be drowned here, at least I want to live a little more clearly before I die."

"What about you?"

"Even if you die, won't you tell me the truth?"

"If everyone is cold, what is the truth?"

He Yu quietly looked at the ceiling reflecting the sparkling water, such a dangerous scene, but the light was very beautiful: "But someone once said that the truth is never meaningless."

"The truth can make the difference between regret and relief in a grave."

"..."

"If you don't want to speak, I have a lot to say."

Xie Qingcheng: "You have plenty of energy."

He Yu smiled: "Ah, you know best if I have enough energy."

"..."

He really convinced him, at this point, he can still speak a few incoherent yellow accents.

After He Yu finished laughing, he lay on his back on the sparkling water, his eyes dim, and he said, "Xie Qingcheng, I haven't had a good chat with you before."

"Do you know why I hate you so much? I've never hated a person so much."

"I know, because you think I lied to you."

"no."

The surroundings were too quiet and cold, and the breath exhaled by the two of them became dense mist in the air.

"No." He Yu murmured, said it again, and then said, "...Because I have never believed in a person like I believe in you."

He had never said such blunt things before.

But now he said it.

"You don't know how much the truth you told me before gave me the courage to live."

"..."

"But you took that courage out of me again."

"..."

"I'm cold, Xie Qingcheng."

"..."

"I don't know why you want to deceive me like this, why you can pretend so much."

The water was so icy it went to the bone marrow.

He Yu was quiet for a while, and then said: "Actually, I accidentally poured the first glass of wine in the Kongye Club that day."

"I didn't mean to treat you like this from the beginning. But—" He slammed, turned over in the water, changed from floating to treading water, and only one head was exposed.

Xie Qingcheng was still on the water, He Yu swam forward a little, and his chest touched the top of Xie Qingcheng's head.

He Yu lowered his eyes, water was still dripping down his face, and the crystal water beads followed the contours of his cheeks and landed on Xie Qingcheng's forehead.He just looked down at Xie Qingcheng's closed eyes.

He was very resentful, at this time, Xie Qingcheng could still be so cold, he wouldn't even open his eyes to look at him.

Because of this, He Yu started to play tricks on him, suddenly lowered his head, and kissed Xie Qingcheng's cold lips.

One of them was lying on the water and the other was standing in the water. When he bowed his head and kissed him, Xie Qingcheng suddenly opened his eyes.

"you--"

"I have nothing to regret. I don't like men, I have never liked men, but you make me very satisfied." He Yu looked at him, his warm breath brushing against Xie Qingcheng's cold skin, "Although I also Don't know why."

"..."

"If we can get out this time, I'm going to have a room with you and do nothing but sleep with you all day. I'm desperate to pry the truth out of your mouth, but from you Prying out other voices that I like to hear, I still have great hope. I want to spend a day and a night with you. Go to bed with you. I want it every day. Unless you go out without your mobile phone, I will always have a way to find you."

Xie Qingcheng never thought that he would be so unreliable, and he straightened up from the water, from lying on his back to standing on the water, facing He Yu.

"Is there something wrong with you?"

"Probably, a new disease, I don't know what it is." He Yu approached him in the water, the dim light perched on his eyelashes, and the water light gathered and separated around them, "Go out and treat me well .Lie under me and heal me..."

Xie Qingcheng couldn't take it anymore, so he just pushed his head into the water.

"You can die here."

After being pressed for a while, He Yu floated up with water droplets again——Xie Qingcheng just scolded him, but after all, he was measured and didn't use much force.

After He Yu came up, he was like a mermaid coming out of the water, stained with crystal drops of water, he hugged Xie Qingcheng, pressed his wet lips to it again, and sucked the coolness at different angles, until he was so cold trembling lips.This kiss seemed to be different from the previous ones. It suppressed some kind of emotion that both parties didn't quite understand. The kiss was warm and lingering, as if to dispel the bone-chilling chill around and win hope.

"elder brother……"

In the accident of not being sure whether the god of death will come, He Yu finally whispered a few words to Xie Qingcheng——

With resentment, unwillingness, loss, and loss.

But more, it was an emotion that hadn't appeared for a long time, similar to grievance.

"Do you know, those words are just a few understatement lies to you."

"But for me, that's been my whole anchor for the last ten years."
