Before the line of dialogue disappeared, Zhang Tie had already staggered over and ran over...

Handsome and stalwart, I was almost killed like a pig tonight. If you can't kill me, now it's my turn to kill you. Zhang Tie is feeling cruel in his heart.

Although the body is still very weak, running is no longer a problem. Zhang Tie did not stop for a moment. As soon as the person appeared at Castle of Black Iron, he immediately ran towards his glove box in three steps and then two...

Inside the glove box were two self-defense weapons that Tang De gave him last time at the grocery store - "Powerful Rat Poison" and that sinister dagger. In addition to the poisonous needle, the dagger's blade was also tempered with snake venom, which was equally lethal.

Zhang Tie decided to take a risk.

After running to the glove box, Zhang Tie was already panting slightly and his hands and feet were a little weak. He quickly took out the bottle of "Powerful Rat Poison" and the dagger from the glove box. Zhang Tie squatted down and took two deep breaths. It took him longer than before, almost ten seconds, to lock the arch in his mind again.

--Get out!

The next moment, Zhang Tie appeared in the room, squatting on the bed.

After using it for so many days, Zhang Tie discovered a rule for entering and exiting Castle of Black Iron. Wherever you go in, you will be where you are when you come out, without missing a beat.

There was still some noise outside, and it seemed that the inspection would not be completed soon. Zhang Tie took a few deep breaths, and then got out of the bed with the smallest and lightest movements, letting his feet fall to the ground, then bending down and taking a tiptoe step. Walking quickly to the pile of food, he first carefully and quickly looked at the positions of the cups and plates on the table, then took out the "Powerful Rat Poison" in his hand, opened the wine bottle on the table lightly and quickly, and put down half the bottle of rat poison in one fell swoop. After going in, the remaining half Powerful Rat Poison and Zhang Tie were all put into the bowl of soup on the table. He gently shook the bottle, stirred the soup, and restored everything on the table to its original state without leaving a trace. Finally, Zhang Tie returned to the bed again, lay down gently on the bed, put the bottle of rat poison back into his pocket, took out the dagger, held it with one hand, and pressed the dagger under himself in the same sleeping position...

Tang De said that the amount of medicine in the bottle was enough to poison twenty elephants. Zhang Tie did not believe that Hark and Sneider were stronger than twenty elephants.

Nervous, so nervous...

I closed my eyes again, Zhang Tie felt my heart beating like a drum, and my whole body was so nervous that I breathed through my nose. Zhang Tie kept saying the same sentence to myself - I am calm and relaxed!

I am calm and relaxed!

I am calm and relaxed!

In this constant repetition, Zhang Tie slowly calmed down. This is a psychological hint taught in school, and it is very useful sometimes.

Zhang Tie is waiting for Hark and Sneider to come back...

Hark and Sneider stood coldly outside the house where they lived for almost three minutes before they saw the owner of the hotel and several police officers coming over. After confirming their names on the hotel guest registration book and asking a few simple and stupid questions, the inspection was completed, Hark and Sneider looked at each other and immediately saw through the idea behind this inspection. The so-called inspection was just that the security officers of Black Flame City wanted to catch a few unlucky people who did not return to their accommodation after the curfew so that they could report to the superiors. No one expected that a few fat-minded security officers could find out anything. It was better than nothing!

When the two returned to the room, Zhang Tie had just laid down on the bed for less than a minute. Everything in the room was normal. The two were at the door just now and had not left the room. Naturally, no one came in. The food was still hot, so the two continued to eat.

Hark drank some wine first, and Sneider just ate a little soup...

Zhang Tie, who was lying on the bed, watched every move of the two people with the corner of his eye. When Huck drank a large glass of wine, Zhang Tie's hand holding the dagger tightened. He didn't even dare to stare at the remaining Sneijder with the corner of his eye, because for some people, they can feel being stared at.

Zhang Tie was very nervous. He was afraid that when Hark took the effect of the medicine, Sneider still did not open his mouth to eat something poisonous, which would be really miserable. However, after just a few seconds, after seeing Sneider drink a large spoonful of soup, Zhang Tie was completely relieved, and the hand holding the dagger began to tighten more and more...

Just one minute after Hark drank the wine...

"I seem to feel a little uncomfortable..." Hark, who just finished saying this, his face turned dark instantly, he tilted, and fell backwards from the chair.

"Hark..." Sneider exclaimed, and then immediately felt something was wrong with him, and at the same time felt movement on the bed behind him.

When Hark fell backwards, Zhang Tie had fully opened his eyes, and at the same time slightly adjusted his sleeping position to make it easier to stab with the hand holding the dagger.

Zhang Tie's voice was very soft, but it was still felt by Sneider. Sneider suddenly turned his head and met Zhang Tie's fully opened eyes. At this moment, he saw Zhang Tie wake up. Sneider was even more surprised when he saw Hark fall. However, out of instinctive reaction, he immediately rushed towards Zhang Tie. The dagger in his hand was like a poisonous snake spitting a message, and he slashed towards Zhang Tie's neck...

Zhang Tie, who was well prepared, only had time to make one move, which was to roll from the bed to the ground, and then narrowly avoided Sneider's first blow...

When Sneider's dagger tried to pierce Zhang Tie who was lying on the ground, his expression changed, his movements stagnated slightly, and then he wanted to throw the dagger at Zhang Tie, but with just this one move, the final result was doomed - Powerful Rat Poison, which made many people angry, and even the government wanted to control it, was not in vain.

Within a distance of less than one meter, Zhang Tie, who was lying on the ground, pressed the mechanism of the dagger in his hand, and two poisonous needles were instantly shot into Sneider's lower abdomen and thighs. The tempered and powerful snake venom on the poisonous needles instantly made Sneider was paralyzed and couldn't move. The hand he was about to raise was instantly frozen. Then Zhang Tie jumped up from the ground and stabbed Sneider's heart from his chest with a fierce knife.

Sneider, who finally fell to the ground, did not die immediately. Instead, he looked at Zhang Tie with his eyes wide open, and the corners of his mouth moved, "Why... why..."

Sneider had too much to think about. He couldn't figure out why a young man who had just been examined and was in a state of hemorrhagic shock recovered in the blink of an eye. What he couldn't figure out even more was where the things on Zhang Tie's body, the dagger and the poison, came from. After catching this young man, At that time, he had obviously searched the young man's body inch by inch. Not to mention a dagger and a bottle of poison, not even a fingernail could escape his search and his eyes. He couldn't figure out why these things appeared on Zhang Tie. Why, why on earth was this...

Sneider died with full of doubts and unwillingness. His eyes were still wide open until he died.

Kneeling on the ground and panting for a long time, Zhang Tie finally recovered a little from the dizziness caused by anemia that made his eyes black. That Little Tree is not omnipotent. Until now, his physical strength and blood have not fully recovered. Now Zhang Tie feels that his whole body is a little weak, and he can't exert any strength. Angry, that blow just now made him try his best. After the blow, Zhang Tie felt sweat on his forehead and his body was slightly exhausted, just like running a 10,000-meter long distance on the school playground. The past few minutes were the most dangerous minutes he had ever experienced in his life. In such a flash of lightning, the fate of the three people in the room was completely reversed.

Zhang Tie survived, while Hark and Sneider completely turned into two corpses.

Zhang Tie half-knelt on the ground and adjusted his breathing. At the same time, his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to deal with the aftermath. Zhang Tie knew that he had really gone too far this time. If he was not careful, he might be shattered to pieces. So how to deal with the aftermath, Zhang Tie had to think carefully and not leave any flaws.

When Zhang Tie was thinking about this problem, the scene in the room was very strange. Two black-faced corpses were possing on the left and right of Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie was half-kneeling on the ground like a sculpture, motionless and quiet for a long time. In the hotel, the noise caused by the inspection by the security officers had not completely dissipated at this moment, and there were still some faint voices coming from outside the door.

Three minutes later, Zhang Tie, who had recovered a little, stood up from the ground. He first checked Hark's body and found that Hark was indeed dead. Then he gave up the idea of finishing the attack, and dragged Hark's body over, and Sneider's were put together, and then he searched all the places in the room where things could be hidden. He also found two bags of luggage belonging to Hark and Sneider. Then Zhang Tie, with two bags of luggage hanging on his body, leaned down and hugged Sneider's body. After a few seconds, he disappeared into the room.

A minute later, Zhang Tie appeared again. This time, he took a waterproof cloak that he found from the two people's luggage, packed everything on the table, including all the tableware, and bundled it into He then hung a small bundle on his hand, then walked to Hark's body, squatted down, and struggled to hold Hark's body of more than 100 kilograms in his arms, and then disappeared again after more than ten seconds.

This time he disappeared for a little longer, until more than ten minutes later, Zhang Tie stumbled and appeared in the room with a pale face...

Zhang Tie appeared in the room and had already changed his clothes from head to toe. Because Sneider's figure was not much different from his, he put Sneider's clothes in his luggage. A piece of clothing was put on, and a cold-proof cloak with a hood commonly used by Prospector people was covered outside the clothing. After doing all this, Zhang Tie carefully inspected the room from the inside out.

--Flush away the blood in the bathroom toilet. Some of your own blood scattered on the floor and the blood Zhang Tie on Sneider's body were carefully wiped clean with the bathroom towel.

--Hold up the chair that fell to the ground and straighten it.

--Make the bed.

--Make sure none of your belongings are left in the room.

One check was not enough, so Zhang Tie checked again. Sometimes, Zhang Tie himself felt that he was a little nervous. Finally, during the second check, Zhang Tie picked up a few black hairs that he had fallen off the bed.

When leaving the house, Zhang Tie put away the cleaning towel stained with his own blood, and looked at it one last time - the house was simply cleaner than the hotel. All Prospector Inn paid in advance After paying for the hotel, when two people were about to pay the bill, they saw that there was no one in the room. The people in the hotel would only think that Sneider and Hark had left at some point, and would not think of anything else.

Nodding secretly, Zhang Tie wore Sneider's clothes, pulled up the hood of his cloak, covered his head and face, lowered his head slightly, and left the hotel quickly. If he didn't identify carefully, the people in the hotel would only mistake the person who left as Sneider. This was the last clue that Sneider left in this world...

Zhang Tie When leaving the hotel, he quickly glanced at the wall clock in the hotel - 11:52, 8 minutes before the final curfew...

The Sheriff had just left, and everyone was not surprised that guests like Zhang Tie slipped out of the hotel on the Sheriff's tail - every Prospector was a bold guy.

Zhang Tie, who slipped out of the hotel, walked for a while in the unlit alleys and alleys. When he was about 200 meters away from the hotel, he found a dark corner where there was no one, and he took his cloak and Sneider in two handfuls. took off his clothes and threw them into the trash can on the roadside - tomorrow morning, when a homeless person and beggar from Black Flame City digs through this trash can, he will get a small surprise.

After throwing away these clothes, Zhang Tie wrapped the towel stained with his own blood and Sneider's blood that he brought out of the hotel with a piece of Stone and threw it into a smelly sewer on the roadside. All evidence was eliminated, and Zhang Tie was completely relieved.

After doing all this, Zhang Tie avoided the avenues and streets with lots of lights and sneaked back to his home. At the same time, he was thinking about how to deal with his mother's interrogation when he got home. This was the first time that Zhang Tie had gone home after twelve o'clock in his life.

"Stop!" A low and sharp voice came, and Zhang Tie, who was quietly walking around the corner of the street, was startled. Then, the light of several lanterns shone on Zhang Tie's face. A group of patrolling Black Flame City soldiers dared to come out after the curfew. Zhang Tie was caught in the act, and Zhang Tie's eyes were suddenly stabbed to the point where he could not open his eyes. Hearing the clicking sound of the safety of the crossbow-like mechanism being opened in the darkness around him, Zhang Tie quickly raised his hands, not daring to move at all.

"What are you doing?" A man in his twenties, with the rank of squad leader and his right hand on the hilt of a sword on his waist, walked over with a cold face, a little wary. He waited until he saw that Zhang Tie was fifteen or sixteen years old and was not carrying a weapon. Coupled with his pale face, his expression relaxed a little.

"I... go home!" Zhang Tie stuttered in reply. In just a short while, Zhang Tie found himself surrounded by ten soldiers. Several of these soldiers held crossbows in their hands, which made him afraid to move rashly. Hark and Sneider had already passed this level. If they fell here, they would be really stupid.

"Go home, what are you doing so late?" the young team leader continued to ask.

"Today... we went out to play today and forgot the time?"

"Where do you live?"

Zhang Tie gave his home address...

"Are you still in school?"

"Well, tomorrow is the last day!"

"In your area, I think the school I studied was Ninth Middle School!"

"I'm at Seventh Boys' Middle School!"

"Oh, by the way, it's Seventh Boys' Middle School. Is Teacher Fiore, who teaches biology, okay?"

"The biology teacher in the school is Teacher Daina, and the teacher Fiore teaches law class!"

After hearing Zhang Tie's last answer, the squad leader showed a smile on his face and raised his hand. The soldiers around him immediately put away their weapons, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

"Boss, is this little guy your junior fellow student?" a soldier asked.

Zhang Tie looked at the team leader Black Flame City Guard in front of him with some surprise. He did not expect that this person also graduated from Seventh Middle School and was his senior.

"My name is Joey, and I graduated Seventh Middle School. Junior, it's curfew now, why don't you go home so late?" The tone of the team leader named Joey suddenly became gentle.

"This... I went out to play tonight, and that... I was so involved in playing... I forgot about the time!"

Looking at Zhang Tie's bloodless face, the way he walked, and his hesitant tone, senior Joey seemed to understand it all at once, and the people around him also understood it, and then everyone laughed. In the past two days, they had met several students like Zhang Tie who were caught after curfew.

"Junior, Survival Trial, you know what it's like to be a woman for the first time, so you should pay attention to moderation!" Captain Joey kindly persuaded, "In this way, we are on the way anyway, so just follow us and we will see you off for a while, so that you will not be arrested again when you meet the patrolmen later!"

Unexpectedly, the senior named Joey turned out to be an enthusiastic person. Zhang Tie followed the patrol team until they reached an intersection less than 200 meters away from home before separating from these people.

Looking at the lights that were still on at home at this time, Zhang Tie felt a little uneasy for some reason. Normally, his parents would have gone to bed by this time. Needless to say, today, they must be waiting for him. When Zhang Tie returned home, he saw his father. My mother was still sitting, waiting for her to come back. She had an angry look on her face, while my father looked downcast, as if he had been scolded by his mother. When they heard the sound of opening the door and saw Zhang Tie coming back, both of them looked relieved.

Mom was the first to rush over and looked around Zhang Tie carefully. When she saw Zhang Tie looking pale and recovering from a serious illness, she felt distressed and funny at the same time. She stabbed Zhang Tie in the head with her fingers several times. In the end, she didn't say anything. She glared at the two father and son, snorted, and turned around and went upstairs.

Then my father came over, looked at Zhang Tie's face carefully, and stabbed him on the head a few times with his fingers, "You brat, you don't know how to take it easy. If you don't come back so late, your mother will torture you to extract a confession." I have already confessed that your mother and I have completely wiped out all my private money this time, and it was all your fault!" After Dad finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to go upstairs, but after taking a few steps, he couldn't help but turn around and asked in a gossipy way, "How many times?"

This question made Zhang Tie so confused that he almost said, "Your son, I haven't circumcised him yet!"

Seeing that Zhang Tie remained silent, Zhang Tie's father probably felt that the question he just asked violated his dignity as a father, so he pretended to be serious and coughed twice, and followed his mother upstairs.

Seeing that his father was about to disappear at the entrance of the building, Zhang Tie suddenly felt his heart throbbing for some reason, so Zhang Tie said, "Dad!"

"Yeah!" Dad turned around and his ears suddenly stood up in a gossipy tone.

"I love you!"

"You brat, don't try to get money from me again. I can't stand your father's torture..." Zhang Tie His father was so frightened by Zhang Tie's words that he ran away. Finally, he thought of something and turned around, "Your mother is still heating up the rice for you in the pot!"

Standing blankly in the simple but warm living room at home, looking at everything in this home, and thinking about the scene of being stepped on and bleeding an hour ago and everything that he experienced later, Zhang Tie felt like he was a human being again. Especially when he heard his father's last words, Zhang Tie couldn't stop crying...
