Chapter 549: Dangerous Struggle (1)
Then, the masked man said in a low and slightly trembling voice: "Our boss you are looking for is hiding in the old house in the west of the city that has been abandoned for many years. But there are dangers everywhere, and there are all kinds of dangerous mechanisms and traps everywhere. If you accidentally trigger any of them, I am afraid your life will be in danger!"
At this point, he paused for a moment, then continued, "Especially at the entrance, there is an extremely hidden and deadly arrow trap. Anyone who gets a little closer will be instantly shot into a hedgehog by countless sharp arrows. In addition, there is another trap that is particularly easy to overlook. It is under the third brick to the left of the entrance. Once you step on it, the entire ground will suddenly collapse..."
Gu Tingyan, Awen and his men looked at each other with looks of astonishment on their faces after hearing what the masked man said.
Gu Tingyan coughed lightly and said in a clear voice:
"Why are you telling me this? Aren't you afraid that your boss will know? Have you ever thought about your ending?"
"Since I can tell you, I am not afraid that my boss will know. I just want to save my brother. If the boss finds out, it will be my own fate. I don't blame anyone. It's my own fault."
"Then I should thank you for informing us of these dangerous situations."
At this moment, the masked man slowly raised his head, glanced at Gu Tingyan coldly, and snorted softly from his nose: "Hmph, don't misunderstand my good intentions. The reason I told you all this is just to see if you know how to retreat when you encounter difficulties."
"but……"
The masked man thought for a while and said, "If you insist on going there, you'd better prepare strong and sturdy ropes and wide and thick wooden boards. When you are close to the entrance, remember to use the long pole to trigger the hidden mechanisms and trigger all the arrows hidden inside. After all the arrows are shot, quickly rush through this area."
"Also, regarding the traps set under the floor tiles throughout the mansion, you can use wooden boards laid flat on the ground and move forward slowly. However, you need to be aware that there is an even more terrifying thing in this mansion - incense. This incense is colorless and odorless, making it difficult to detect. If someone accidentally inhales it, they will immediately feel powerless in their limbs, like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others. So, if you are not completely sure of how to deal with these dangers, you'd better give up the idea of moving forward as soon as possible."
Gu Tingyan looked at the masked man and said firmly: "Since I have made up my mind, I will never back down easily because of a few difficulties!"
After saying that, Gu Tingyan slowly let go of the masked man. Gu Tingyan's eyes were cold as ice, staring at the other person closely, as if he could see through the mask and see into his heart.
"I hope that everything you said to me today was not a lie,"
Gu Tingyan gritted his teeth and spoke, every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, full of threats and warnings, "Otherwise, I will never let you go! No matter where you run to, I will make you pay a heavy price!"
However, at this moment, Gu Tingyan inconspicuously winked at Awen beside him. Awen understood and quickly came to the masked man like a ghost. Awen moved as fast as the wind and in the blink of an eye he firmly controlled the man, making him unable to move at all.
The masked man was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly shouted: "Gu Tingyan, what are you doing? You clearly promised me that as long as I tell you where our boss is, you will let my brother go!" His voice trembled a little due to nervousness, but he still tried to reason with Gu Tingyan.
Hearing this, Gu Tingyan's mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile. That smile made people shudder, as if it was hiding endless conspiracies and calculations.
"You should know that people in our line of work can never easily believe what anyone says."
Gu Tingyan spoke slowly, his tone frighteningly calm, "What's more, people like you have no credibility at all. So, don't be naive to think that I will really act according to the agreement."
Then, Gu Tingyan took two steps forward, approached the man controlled by Ah Wen, and continued, "Now, your brother can only stay here and wait for a while. After I meet your boss and successfully obtain the antidote, I will naturally consider whether to release him."
After saying that, Gu Tingyan sneered again. The laughter echoed in the air, making the whole scene seem even more eerie and terrifying.
