Chapter 156 After the old house caught fire (6)
In the dark and narrow space, even breathing seemed to be a cramped thing. In this quiet environment that seemed to be fatal at any time, each other's breathing was clearly audible.
Although this behavior of hiding under the table is not consistent with his identity, there is no denying that this is a rare experience.
Eugene thought he had a good temper, and he could see clearly in the dark, so he could see that Chu Xiang was lying on the ground nervously at this time. She quietly put her head on the floor, looking through the gap between the tablecloth and the floor. He opened the gap and carefully observed the movement outside.
Her actions really looked like an animal that didn't like to be clean.
Eugene said: "Chu Xiao..."
"Shh-" Chu Xiang hurriedly raised her body and covered his mouth, signaling him to keep quiet.
Slowly, the heavy footsteps came again.
The huge figure slowly approached, and finally came to a stop at the long table. He put down the hand holding the butcher knife, and the sharp tip of the knife was stained red by blood, which condensed into blood spots and dripped on the floor.
Chu Xiang didn't dare to express her anger, and inadvertently increased her strength while covering Eugene's hand. Her body involuntarily squeezed into the table, inevitably getting closer and closer to the man's body.
In the middle of the night, a man with a knife, a huge butcher, and dripping blood. When these conditions are put together, one can imagine a bloody and terrifying story.
Chu Xiang had long heard about the dangerous public security situation abroad. It was not surprising that a bloodthirsty murderer suddenly appeared in the middle of the night. Seeing the feet outside the gap staying outside for a long time, her heart also followed. The passage of time was mentioned in the throat.
The tall man sniffed his nose. He seemed to have found the source of the strange smell. He slowly bent down and stretched out his hand to touch the tablecloth.
Chu Xiang's hands tightened.
Eugene felt that if he continued like this for a while, there would be multiple claw marks on his face. His blue eyes moved slightly and looked outside.
The tall man suddenly shuddered and retracted his hand. He held the knife, turned around and ran away with a "dong dong dong".
Even after hearing the heavy footsteps go away, Chu Xiang quietly breathed a sigh of relief and put down her hand covering Eugene, but she did not dare to relax completely, for fear that the other party would fight back.
Eugene had no sense of nervousness and asked with concern: "Miss Chu, are you okay?"
"Keep your voice down!" Chu Xiang lowered his voice and whispered: "What if the person outside hears the noise and comes back?"
Eugene seemed to be belatedly realizing that he had to lower his voice and asked, "That person outside?"
"The man with the knife." Chu Xiang found the mobile phone from his coat pocket, "While he is not around here, we have to call the police."
The phone screen lit up, and a faint light shone on her face, leaving a bit of starlight in her eyes, which seemed a bit unreal.
Eugene watched her press three numbers. After a long time, the call was connected, and the operator's lazy voice came from the other side, "Hello?"
Chu Xiang: "I want to call the police, I encountered..."
"If it is a small matter that has nothing to do with life, please solve it on your own. If it is a major matter with life, please never give up resistance. Run as long as you can, so as to bring more fun to everyone." The operator next to me burped, "Okay, that's it. I'm glad to answer your call. Goodbye."
With a beep, the phone was hung up.
It took Chu Xiang some time to react. She raised her face and said in disbelief: "Is this the attitude of the police here?"
"There are very few people here, and emergencies are also very good, so everyone is a little..." Chu Xiang: "Relaxed?"
Eugene smiled and said, "Yes, it is relaxation. Miss Chu, the word you said is very suitable."
Chu Xiang fell into silence.
Eugene said softly: "So generally speaking, if we encounter something, we will be used to solving it ourselves."
"But..." Chu Xiang tried to gesture with his hands, "The man outside is so big, we can't beat him."
Eugene also stretched out his hand and gestured, "Since he is so——big, then we have to think of other ways."
Chu Xiang glanced at him and really couldn't stand the way he imitated his own speech. However, the man still put on a smile and looked gentle and friendly. He really couldn't say too harsh words to him.
Chu Xiang and him squatted face to face. The dim light from the mobile phone placed between them fell on their faces at the same time. In the dim environment, they both felt a bit eerie.
She asked in a low voice: "Then how do we solve it?"
Eugene touched his chin, his clean blue eyes were filled with the wisdom of serious thinking. He was mature and steady, safe and reliable, and people couldn't help but trust him for no reason.
He said: "I can distract him first, and you can take this opportunity to run out and find someone for help."
But Chu Xiang said: "Why can't the two of us run out together and ask for help?"
"Because he is coming back."
As if to confirm Eugene's words, the footsteps gradually came from the distance and got closer and closer. I believe it won't be long before he comes back, and by then, he may not give up lifting the tablecloth to see. Check to see if there is anyone hiding underneath.
Eugene rarely smiled, but looked serious, "Miss Chu, that's it."
His normally smiling eyes suddenly opened without smiling, immediately making the tense atmosphere even more oppressive.
Chu Xiang looked at him and was about to get out. She subconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes, "Wait..."
Eugene asked unexpectedly: "Are you going to be the bait instead of me?"
Chu Xiang decisively let go of his hand, "It's better you go."
Eugene is a very considerate gentleman. In order not to worry Chu Xiang, he forced himself to smile, "Miss Chu, don't worry, I will be fine."
This man with blond hair and blue eyes left this dark and small space and rushed to a dangerous slaughterhouse with a calm consciousness.
And it was not long after he went out that the tall man who was approaching heard the noise and left in a different direction.
Chu Xiang took the opportunity to crawl out from under the table, and with the help of the faint moonlight, she ran out of the restaurant, but standing in the lobby, she was entangled.
Should he go upstairs and try to knock on the doors of the residents to seek their help, or should he run out of the hotel door and go to the police station to seek their protection?
There didn't seem to be many residents in this building, and she didn't have any friends here who were familiar enough to take risks. If he went outside to find the police, Eugene wouldn't be able to hold on by the time she came back, right?
