Chapter 7 The Madman’s Method
Ten:05 in the morning.
Luo Xi walked out of the men's locker room on the 24th floor, and then quickly took his water glass to the water room to get water.
The water room and toilet are at the end of the corridor. There is also a rest room over there. There is a safety exit in the corridor on the east and west sides. The aluminum alloy-clad tempered glass door has an access control system. You need to swipe your card to enter. You can press the switch to unlock it when you go out.
At this moment, Luo Xi was at the west exit, looking at the corporate promotional pictures posted on the wall. On one side was the access control switch, and on the other side was the fire safety notice board, which had the floor plan of this floor. There are safety tips and rules to follow in an emergency.
Next to the warning sign is the manual alarm button.
The red square box has the operating instructions 'Press the alarm button in case of fire' written on it. The button is a black dot, protected by a small glass frame, and it says 'Crush the glass to call the fire alarm'.
He walked over and without hesitation, first hit the access control switch with the stainless steel thermos cup in his hand. The force was so strong that the switch shell shattered after two clicks. He tried to press it. After a few clicks, the access control failed to open and had lost its normal function.
Immediately afterwards, smash the glass cover and press the fire alarm button.
In an instant, a not-so-shrill alarm bell rang.
Luo Xi held his water glass and walked toward the exit of the east corridor with his hands behind his back, crossing the work area.
When the alarm bell rang, people in the work area were alerted.
Everyone has undergone firefighting training before joining the company, and learned some cases and emergency self-rescue methods, the use of fire extinguishers and how to quickly evacuate through escape channels.
Of all the contents, how to evacuate is the easiest to remember. In other words, there is no need to teach this at all. After all, escape is instinctive.
But having said that, just the sound of an alarm ring made everyone look around curiously. In fact, no one evacuated, and most people did not even leave their seats. Do whatever you want.
Didn't take it seriously at all.
Because there are very few people who have actually experienced fire, most of them do it through training, TV and the Internet.
But when thick smoke and a pungent burning smell began to emit from the men's locker room on the 24th floor, the situation changed 180 degrees.
“It’s really on fire.”
“Quick, quick, run first.”
"I'm still with the client."
"Run, you are stupid. What is more important, the client or your life?"
"Quick, emergency evacuation, everyone get up."
Looking at the messy work area, Luo Xi showed a satisfied smile.
He was standing on the east side of the safety exit, opening the door in advance, like a doorman, as if waiting for something.
The sound of alarm bells and the thick smoke coming out of the men's locker room immediately stimulated people's nerves. When they truly realized the crisis, everyone's reaction was to run away. Of course, some people went to find fire extinguishers, but those who should evacuate, You have to evacuate first.
There is an exit on the east and west sides of the place. On the west side, Luo Xi smashed the access control switch and it can no longer be opened, so people can only evacuate from the east side. Luo Xi will treat everyone who comes over. They say a word.
"It's ten o'clock, Brother Mao is down there!"
Most people looked at Luo Xi as if he were crazy, and walked faster. Some people were confused and asked Luo Xi what he meant.
"Lao Luo, what do you mean? What happened to Brother Mao?"
"If you don't run away, what are you doing here?"
"I just saw you smash the switch of the west door, Luo Xi, are you really sick?"
No matter what others say What, Luo Xidu only said one sentence.
"It's ten o'clock, Brother Mao is downstairs!"
A female colleague heard Luo Xi's words at this time. She was about to go out and immediately stopped and looked over with strange eyes.
It can be seen that she was surprised, and then fell into hesitation, whether to leave or stay.
Luo Xi looked back at her.
The female colleague’s name is ‘Zhang Yanan’. She has a very introverted personality and has a normal relationship with Luo Xi, which is to say hello politely when they meet.
The smoke began to increase in the men's locker room, and the people who were looking for fire extinguishers were cursing, because the fire extinguishers that were usually placed in the corridor were now gone.
"Luo Xi, I just saw you carrying the fire extinguisher. Where did you put it?" Two male colleagues came over and asked.
However, the response he got was still the same.
"Brother Mao? What do you mean? Damn, what are you doing?"
"Quick, go first, the smoke is getting bigger and bigger, call the fire alarm."
Two male colleagues tried to pull Luo Xi away, but Luo Xi broke away. If they pulled her again, they immediately hit her hard with the cups in their hands.
"Are you crazy?" The two people obviously noticed that Luo Xi was abnormal. At this time, Du Lei also ran over, filled with tears from the smoke and coughing non-stop.
"What are you doing here, Duchu? Come downstairs quickly. I don't know which bastard broke the west door."
Two male colleagues immediately opened Luo Xi's door I told Manager Du that it was abnormal.
"Ronald, what's wrong with you?"
"It's ten o'clock, Brother Mao is down there!"
Still this sentence.
"." Du Lei was speechless for a while. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then said seriously: "Ronald, do you know what you are doing? You are committing a crime. Is this sudden fire related to you? Does it matter? Let me ask you, what is going on? "
The smoke was already very thick at this time, and the people on the 24th floor were basically evacuated from the east door.
Only a few people were left.
Luo Xi is naturally one. The former female colleague Zhang Yanan still hasn’t left. She is acting very nervous. The entanglement and hesitation in her eyes have already spilled out of her eyes. It can be seen that she wants to run, but something seems to stop her. Very scared.
In addition, there is Du Lei and two male colleagues.
There are five people in total.
"Almost."
Luo Xi walked into the men's room next to him at this time, and then walked out with two fire extinguishers, one of which he handed to Du Lei.
Others noticed that the other person had put on a gas mask at some point.
It's a disposable, pull-over fire gas mask in a red box. This thing is actually called a 'filtering fire self-rescue respirator'.
"I've seen the pressure gauge, it's normal. Pull out the safety pin, grab the nozzle, and you're ready to spray."
Luo Xi walked into the men's locker room, and soon, something came from inside. Here comes the sound of turning on the fire extinguisher.
Du Lei frowned, hesitated, picked up a fire gas mask on the table, and walked into the men's locker room.
He saw that the point of fire was an open locker. However, at this moment, all the lockers were burned. Some were dark and severely deformed, but there were no other flammable objects here, and the open flame was about to be destroyed. After putting it out, Du Lei stepped forward to help and used three cans of fire extinguishers to put out the fire in the locker room. The room was filled with thick smoke. Luo Xi had already opened the window of the locker room.
"Did you set the fire?" Du Lei asked, staring at Luo Xi.
Luo Xi did not deny it.
At this time, he walked to the fire hydrant in the corridor and took out the polyester fire hose inside. He went to the west exit first and used the fire hose to tie the handles on both sides of the door on the inside. Dead knot.
The other four people just looked at him with different expressions.
“Hey, there’s only one fire hose, it’s not enough.”
Luo Xi muttered at this time, then went to the toilet, took the mop handle, and removed the two stool legs from the chair at the work station.
Walking to the east door, Luo Xi looked at the time.
Ten: fifteen.
"Guys, I'm going to seal this floor next. Now I'll give you a chance to leave now. But the ugly words have come to the front. If you leave, you will lose this opportunity. No matter who of you saves No matter how many times you try to memorize it, it is impossible to pass the level. No matter you are killed by someone or by Brother Mao, the memory card will eventually be cleared. Think clearly, ten seconds and nineteen."
"No. , Luo Xi, what do you mean? "What are you going to do?" A male colleague was already a little impatient.
The others all had solemn expressions and extremely complicated emotions, staring at Luo Xi, trying to figure out something.
Luo Xi ignored the question, grabbed the metal stool leg in his hand, and continued to count down: "Eight, seven, six."
"I" Zhang Yanan couldn't help but want to say something, Luo Xi interrupted her directly: "I won't answer now Any questions, stay, or leave 5.4."
"He's crazy, let's go down first." The male colleague who started talking walked out at this time, but what surprised him was that Du Neither Lei nor another male colleague moved.
"Mr. Du, you guys"
"Three"
"Two"
"One"
Luo Xi closed the door, and the male colleague came back at the last moment, with a cold and strange expression.
Using mop handles, stool legs, and some network cables to seal the door on the east side, Luo Xi clapped his hands and glanced at everyone.
"Now, no one will bother us."
