Chapter Eighteen Under Total Imprisonment
The dark staircase seemed to be a passage extending from hell. At its end, a coffee cup that was shattered to pieces appeared on the carpet. Many small pieces were already entangled with the fibers on the carpet. The dark red and white ceramics looked extremely weird.
The chandelier on the top of the room did not completely go out, but made a final struggle. The chandelier swayed violently, making a creaking sound, as if it could fall off the roof at any time.
In the flashing light, a man fell on a large oval table, and there was a overturned coffee cup on his hand, and a large piece of brown stains stained the tablecloth.
The man was lying head down, his hands hanging on both sides of his body. The stools on both sides of his seat were overturned to the ground. On the side of the stool, a woman collapsed on the ground, with her head leaning against the bottom of the sofa, and the person arched like shrimps. The short skirt might have been hooked to somewhere when he fell to the ground, and it was lifted to his waist. The gray stockings were completely exposed. There was a brown stain on the thighs of the stockings, and the white coffee cup on the thighs was very eye-catching.
The woman was wearing a pink top, with red collar and cuffs on the top, vaguely like blood. Her wrist seemed to be injured, with a large piece of blue and purple marks on it.
On the balcony of the room, there were two people upside down from the floor-to-ceiling curtains, one of which was a tall and thin young man. He lay on the carpet, holding the coffee cup with one hand, the cup was broken in half, and a crack was also cracked in the handle. Most of the person in front of the tall man's head was covered by the curtains, and his face was facing the floor-to-ceiling glass wall. The appearance reflected from the wall was very rough, which made one see that it was a man. This man looked much older than the tall and thin man, and his body was fat. A hand with a curtain exposed was fleshy.
He had no coffee cup beside him, but on the sofa not far away, there was an unbroken coffee cup, and the coffee inside had been drunk.
At the other end of the table, where the balcony was connected, a young girl of eighteen or nineteen was sitting on the carpet, with her back against the steps on the side of the room. Her head was buried low, her face could not be seen clearly, and her short hair almost covered her face, which was chaotic, and she was wearing a black T-shirt and dark blue jeans. She could not tell that she was injured, but she was as motionless as those people just now.
The clock behind the little girl made a ticking sound, and it was running very normally. The painting hanging next to the clock could only see the knight's face clearly, while the demon was completely hidden in the dark...

"Huh-it finally lights up. It seems that the wires are still usable." Xie Yunmeng's manly voice sounded, and the former lady Lucifer immediately walked to him. To be honest, most women could not resist this sound.
After blowing out the useless candle in his hand, he threw it on the table. The candle bones rolled and encountered a long-out "companion", probably left by the former wife of Lucifer just now.
Xie Yunmeng stepped to the edge of the balcony and helped Yun Yeyao up Mo Haiyou who was still sitting on the ground. Mo Haiyou's bare feet looked very miserable, wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, which was almost soaked in blood, and it seemed impossible to walk.
After a few polite words of concern to the former Mrs. Lucifer, everyone's attention focused on the abnormal situation of the house, after all, this is the top priority now.
"Xiao Meng, Xiao Zuo, what do you think is going on?" Yun Yeyao did not express his opinion directly for the first time, but became an inquirer.
Mo Hai stood up right and looked around. His gaze was on the balcony glass and said, "We sank to the bottom of the mountain. Look, the sea is no longer visible outside, it is all rocks. But what I don't understand is how the house suddenly sank and does not collapse? If the foundation is loose, according to the vibration just now, the house should have been destroyed, right? But now you see, the roof is intact and the furniture is just moving slightly. Only candlesticks, ashtrays and other small things fell to the ground. The wires can still be used."
"Yes, this is so weird. Xiao Zuo, what should we do now?" Yun Yeyao asked immediately, looking dependent, perhaps because of his fear, completely different from when he first came.
Mo Haiyou no longer accused him of calling his name wrong, but continued to analyze it for him. The other two people naturally listened to his analysis. The former wife of Lucifer's terrified expression could completely infect anyone's emotions.
"I think this house cannot collapse suddenly. There must be some mechanism here that is attached to it when building the house."
"You mean, like an elevator, what mechanism or device is installed, and then the house can sink into the mountain when needed?" Xie Yunmeng interrupted. After being with the other two people for a long time, Xie Yunmeng's analysis ability seems to have increased a lot.
Mo Haiyou agreed with him and said to the former wife of Lucifer: "Your ex-husband is the first owner of this house. You should be very clear about the structure of the house. How could he not tell you at all?"
"I don't know either. Maybe it's because we got married for too short and had bad personalities, so he didn't tell me." The former lady Lucifer said hesitantly.
"Then we can only check it ourselves. My feet cannot move now. Thank you, Officer, for your hard work, and pay attention to Xiaoyao's safety." Mo Haiyou was indeed a little discouraged, but his feet were injured at this time, making him unable to act according to his will.
Just as they were talking, the former Lady Lucifer suddenly screamed: "Ah!! My friends!! Why did I forget them all!!"
"Yes, we didn't remember it either. Go down and take a look!!" Xie Yunmeng jumped up. How could they forget so many people? Maybe it was because there was no sound in the basement.
Xie Yunmeng, who was helping Mo Haiyou, took the lead in rushing into the basement, was stopped by Mo Haiyou: "Wait first, now a murder has occurred here, and the house is in a strange state. If the murderer hides in the basement and waits for an opportunity to attack, it will be very dangerous if you rush down like this. Call the police first, and then call the people in the basement. Now the door under the stairs is not closed. It is best for them to come up by themselves. We should try our best to stay in this uppermost room and not leave."
After hurriedly agreeing to Mo Haiyou's words, Xie Yunmeng hurriedly began to look for his cell phone, but when he looked for it, he found something was wrong. All the phones were gone, and even the former Mrs. Lucifer's own cell phone could not be found. Xie Yunmeng and former Mrs. Lucifer also discovered a serious problem, and the phone line was cut.
"What should I do?!" The former lady Lucifer was so anxious that she was in a state of circling in circles. Her hands and body in her broad clothes were trembling.
Xie Yunmeng was also panicked. If this happens, it would be completely isolated from the outside world. This place is remote and tourists on the beach would not come at all. If there were no communication tools, wouldn’t they have to wait for death in this underground villa?
Yun Yeyao leaned against Mo Haiyou and looked at him with a look of help, as if saying: "Xiao Zuo, think of a solution quickly, hurry up."
It was Mo Haiyou who calmed down first, and he said to everyone: "We can't get out of our way. Officer Xie, please tell me if the people in the basement react and let the living gather together. Madam, how many days can the food and water in this villa last?"
"It can last about two to three days. If the tap water is not broken, the water will not be a problem, because there is electricity, coffee maker, induction cooker and electric kettle, which can be used normally. For food, just the ones in the kitchen and refrigerator downstairs, which should be maintained if you save a little three days."
“Is there a refrigerator upstairs?”
"No, the kitchen and bathroom are all downstairs."
"It seems we..."
"Doctor Mo," Xie Yunmeng inserted and said, "The people downstairs did not react at all. What should we do?"
"Food, water, and most of the daily necessities are downstairs. It seems that we can only move our location. Let's go! Let's go to the living room on the second floor to check the situation. The lights downstairs have not been lit yet, so don't disperse them."
"What should I do with this corpse?" Yun Yeyao asked, and his eyes looked at Yu Jin's corpse with pity.
