Chapter 25: Real-life version of attacking the enemy's strategy
In the room, the couple Fan Yong and Song Yan were facing a formidable enemy. They held lethal weapons in front of them without concealing their presence.
A sharp knife and a kitchen knife.
At the same time, they showed an attitude of being ready to attack at any time and showed strong hostility.
After Luo Xi entered the room, he just glanced at the two people, ignored them, and walked straight towards the bedroom.
"stop!"
Song Yan stopped Luo Xi with a sharp knife in hand.
She now looked like this, with her eyes glaring, her teeth bared, and her facial features ferocious, revealing a ferocity that was not in line with her gender, like a female devil who killed people without blinking an eye.
"If I were you, I would choose to wait and see instead of standing out so impulsively. Get out of the way, Liu Mao is a cleaner. Fortunately, you didn't kill him, otherwise your family of four would be dead now." Luo Xi said expressionlessly, but did not stop, looking completely fearless.
Song Yan was obviously frightened.
Regardless of whether it was a bluff or not, the attitude and momentum displayed by Luo Xi at this moment completely suppressed her.
Moreover, Liu Mao is a cleaner?
How can this be?
At this moment, Luo Xi had already walked quickly into the dim bedroom.
It was as if he knew where Liu Mao was hiding. He simply opened the closet and pulled Liu Mao out.
"Knife!"
Luo Xi raised his hand, and Wu Rui behind him immediately stepped forward and handed over the knife in her hand. She stared at the couple vigilantly, her heart beating like a drum.
This is so exciting, they actually just came in like this?
During this process, Luo Xi displayed an extremely strong self-confidence and momentum, without showing the slightest timidity or hesitation. However, Wu Rui was also very curious. Luo Xi knew the names and contact numbers of the host and hostess of this household, which could be explained as information obtained through the owners' group.
But how could he be sure that Liu Mao was not dead, and was hidden in the bedroom closet?
Moreover, isn't he afraid that the couple will fight to the death with them?
If a fight really breaks out, two against two, it's hard to say who will win or lose. The biggest possibility is that both sides will suffer losses.
What Wu Rui was worried about did not happen. Although the couple exchanged glances in private and held their weapons tightly in their hands, looking like they would attack at any time, they did not really rush over. It was obvious that they were intimidated by Luo Xi's momentum and words.
The rope tied up Liu Mao had been cut by Luo Xi, and the tape and towel on his mouth were also quickly torn off by Luo Xi.
"Fortunately!"
Luo Xi checked and found that Liu Mao was not seriously injured. Moreover, he had just woken up. When he saw Luo Xi, he widened his eyes with disbelief.
"Brother Mao, don't say anything yet." Luo Xi whispered in the other person's ear, and the latter nodded in shock.
"Help him walk." Luo Xi held a knife and a cigarette in his mouth this time, and stood up to face the nervous couple blocking the door: "You have two choices. One is to get out of the way and let us take Liu Mao away, and then you can find a way to pass the scene yourself; the other is to take action and then be killed by me. Oh, by the way, there is one thing that does not belong to you."
Luo Xi patted Wu Rui and walked out. The latter immediately supported Liu Mao and followed the former. The couple at the door subconsciously made way.
Walking to the trash can in the corner of the living room, Luo Xi took out Liu Mao's mobile phone.
"You don't mind if I take this, do you?" Luo Xi smiled at them.
Now both Fan Yong and Song Yan are confused.
Ever since I suddenly received a call from this person, everything seemed to be getting weird.
Especially Song Yan, she was full of doubts. First of all, how did the other party know her mobile phone number and her name? They had obviously never met before. Compared with this, the other party came directly to the door and asked them to open it, which did not seem so shocking.
Moreover, the other party actually knew that he had hidden Liu Mao in the closet in the bedroom, and said that Liu Mao was a cleaner.
Of course, Song Yan didn't believe this.
But there will definitely be fear, because it is better to be safe than sorry.
What if it is?
Song Yan works as a counter salesperson and prides herself on having a unique vision and a sharp eye.
The person in front of me has a kind of domineering and confidence that no one else has. It is not pretended, but a habit formed over a long period of time. Of course, the most important thing is that the other person seems to know everything, as if I am a transparent person in front of him.
"He not only knew that Liu Mao was in the closet, but he also knew that I had thrown the phone into the trash can."
"Wait a minute, he seemed to have said that we should find a way to pass the scene by ourselves. I understand. They are the Memory Collectors from outside. In other words, the people in this place can escape, so people from outside can also come in. Yes, yes, this must be the case. They are veterans and must know a lot of things." Song Yan finally reacted at this time.
This thought brought a glimmer of hope to her already desperate heart.
In fact, when she found out that Liu Mao was calling her in the morning and mentioned the key words "recollector of memories" and "day of imprisonment", she concluded that Liu Mao was an outsider who collected memories, because in the cycle they had experienced before, there was no such character as Liu Mao.
The other person went to work before the scene started.
But there must be a reason for any accident.
But at that time, Song Yan did not dare to explore it, or rather, she judged that instead of taking risks, it would be better to kill Liu Mao, so that she would be 100% sure to get a memory card.
But this is a different time. Now other senior people from Liu Mao's side have arrived, and they are very strong, so strong that if she chooses to confront them head-on, the final result may not even be a fight to the death.
When anyone makes a judgment, they consider 'cost-benefit'.
It boils down to one sentence: what should we do to maximize our own interests?
Previously, Song Yan believed that killing Liu Mao in exchange for the memory card was the most advantageous and practical option. However, now, the cost and price of killing have risen sharply, and even the consequences are beyond their ability to bear. Therefore, they can only change their minds, which is limited by the specific situation they are facing.
Then, you can choose not to take action and live in peace.
But if you don't take action, it may seem like there is no loss, but you will actually miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
A chance to escape.
If this possibility was very small before, almost non-existent, then now, the appearance of these "veterans" and their words and deeds have revealed that the scene can be cleared and escaped.
It's like a delicious bait. In front of a person who is almost desperate and about to starve to death, a delicious and tempting cake suddenly appears. Even if he knows that the cake in front of him may be poisonous, he will still eat it.
In times of despair, people always look on the bright side.
They would think, maybe, there is no poison in the cake
"Wait, wait a minute!" Seeing the man who had already walked to the gate, Song Yan hurriedly called him to stop. Seeing him frown, she immediately said, "Don't get me wrong, we are not going to take action. We just want to ask, are you experienced? Do you know how to escape from this place?"
"Song Yan, what are you going to do?" Luo Xi did not answer the question, but asked back.
"Cooperate, let's cooperate and escape together."
Hearing this, Luo Xi laughed: "You are not qualified to cooperate with me, because we can go out by ourselves, why do we need to add a few more burdens for no reason? Besides, you beat my cleaner like this, and I haven't even come to settle the score with you yet."
"No, wait, you have to help us, I apologize, I'm sorry, I don't know Liu Mao. Anyway, you can ask me to do anything, I can give you money. I am willing to pay any price as long as you take us out of this hellhole, please, please!" Song Yan stared with his eyes wide open and his mouth open, like a fish thrown on the shore and about to suffocate.
No, she was more like a wolf that had fallen into a trap.
She wants you to save her, but she still shows her fangs. If you don't save her, she would rather die with both hands.
Next to her, her husband Fan Yong didn't say anything, but one could see anxiety in his eyes.
He is a man who is not good at speaking and obeys his wife's orders.
Luo Xi didn't say anything, he seemed to be thinking about it.
Behind him, Wu Rui felt incredible. From the moment Luo Xi started making the phone call until now, the series of operations was simply mind-boggling.
She never expected that the couple would be defeated so quickly. Wu Rui once thought that they would experience a brutal fight, and if they were unlucky, she would even die here.
but no.
Luo Xi relied on her nearly perfect acting skills to "fool" the couple with just a few words.
Of course, Wu Rui knew that this could not be described simply as "acting", it was a tactic, and good tactics must be supported by overall strategic thinking.
"I can take you out, but what can you give in return?" Luo Xi smiled at this time.
