Bright Throne

The night was deep, and the black van took the three of them to a dilapidated warehouse.

The two black men seemed very excited along the way. Although Qin Yi couldn't understand what they were saying, he could tell that they were hiding their nervousness.

These kidnappers didn't seem to intend to extort money, they didn't ask them about their family backgrounds, they didn't ask them for their family's contact information, they didn't even put on hoods, they just brought them into the warehouse.

Along the way, Qin Yi's expression became more and more cold, except for money, then... only life is left.

If they will die soon, there is no need to worry about whether these kidnappers will be identified in the future.

The warehouse was dilapidated, and the broken glass was covered with spider webs. Except for the three of them who had just been captured, there were already several people tied up inside. The only thing they have in common is that none of them are black, they are all foreigners, mainly white.

Qin Yi almost thought that these people were extreme terrorists against racial discrimination.

They were all tied together, the woman was sobbing in fear, the man was pale and trembling, and occasionally a young man with a strong blood type cursed loudly, and was immediately punched down by the gun-wielding man until his face was covered in blood.

The woman in the red skirt next to her screamed and knelt on the ground, bowing her head and praying for God's mercy while weeping.

Qin Yi and the other three were also pointed at by guns and tied together with them.

A hanging lamp hung on the top of the warehouse, swaying non-stop with the wind blowing outside, Qin Yi finally saw the appearance of each of them clearly, the Chinese man who came with him was squatting next to him, his whole body was dark blue The striped suit is well-made, the tie is meticulously tied, and there is a delicate pen in the jacket pocket.

The man's figure is not muscular, but he doesn't look thin either. He is very well-proportioned, but his hair is longer than that of ordinary men. Under the slanted bangs, there are a pair of extremely indifferent dark eyes. Being stared at by such eyes One glance seemed to send a shudder.

Noticing Qin Yi's line of sight, the man turned his head and looked over, his expression was nothing but haze, just like the night before the storm, calm and gloomy and terrifying.

"Do you know who they are?" The man said suddenly, his voice was low, and his lips moved very little.

Qin Yi looked away and turned to the kidnappers. At some time, a big black man walked in from outside the warehouse. He was very tall, nearly two meters tall, wearing dark camouflage, with a gun pinned to his waist. As soon as he came in, the previous gangsters immediately greeted him, as if they were headed by him.

This man brought a big black box and put it gently on the table. He moved very carefully. He stopped someone from trying to open the box and cursed several times severely.

I don't know what's in there, but it's definitely dangerous.

Qin Yi observed for a while, and found that they were quite obedient to the leader's words and deeds, and the division of labor was clear and coordinated.

He thought for a while, and said in a low voice, "It looks like a strict organization. It's not an ordinary kidnapper who just wants to get a ticket. If it's really a terrorist, it will be a big trouble..."

The man frowned, and nodded lightly: "I thought they were coming after me, but when I got here, I realized that my thinking was probably a little bit wrong."

"..." Qin Yi was speechless for a moment after hearing this, big brother, there is a limit to narcissism please!

The man continued unconsciously: "It seems that the situation here has become turbulent again recently. I was tied up on the way to the hotel just after I got off the plane. These people may come from our foreign faces here. I I have heard of terrorists in Africa attacking foreigners to demonstrate to the authorities, because the lives of black people cannot be taken seriously by the government. They should make a big move soon. The police here are notoriously incompetent. We want To be rescued, you still have to rely on yourself."

Qin Yidao: "I called my friend before I got in the car. If he answered, he should be able to detect the abnormality, but the far water can't save the near fire... Wait, what is that?"

While talking, several big black men moved in a TV and video recorder from outside, with intricate wires connected to it, and soon, the video recorder and TV screen were aimed at Qin Yi and the others.

The leader carefully opened the large box on the table, revealing a dark box inside, with a timer, wires, flat beads and... explosives tied to it.

The moment his eyes touched the explosives, Qin Yiwu's pupils suddenly constricted!

Such a large weight is probably enough to level this warehouse!

He was not the only one who noticed the explosives. The other kidnapped victims were already howling. Some were yelling, and the timid ones started crying bitterly, as if God had abandoned them.

"What are you arguing about! If you are arguing again, I will send you to see God first!" The gun-wielding man shouted angrily, and shot at the ceiling, looking extremely cruel and ferocious in the silent night.

The faces of the people turned pale from the shock of the shot, and their crying became much quieter.

Seeing that they were honest, the big man turned around and continued talking with his accomplices.

"They were planning to broadcast our death scene to the government...unfortunately, I guessed it." The man said suddenly.

Qin Yi was taken aback: "Can you understand what they said?"

"I can only hear the general idea. I have been to Africa to work several times before." The man lightly moved the shackles on his hands, "These handcuffs are thinner than normal, and they are inferior. These terrorists don't seem so professional. "

"..." Qin Yi suddenly wanted to ask this guy how he knew what the real handcuffs felt like, but considering that the two were now grasshoppers on the same rope, he swallowed back the question that might cause each other's discomfort.

"Hey," Qin Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, then calmly said, "Then if we can get their guns, can we smash them this time?"

"First of all." The man said coldly, "You want a gun."

The kidnappers seemed to have finished their discussion. The gun-wielding man carefully brought the explosives and tied them to the iron post that locked the hostages, before pressing the timer.

TV sets and video recorders have been installed, and they have captured all the innocent foreigners crying, desperate and angry on the ground.

"Listen, I'm going to start the bomb countdown at dawn, and then 15 minutes later, you will be blown to pieces with this warehouse, and you will disappear from this world! Until then, talk to the audience in front of the TV Let's spend the last days of your short lives together!"

The black leader smiled grimly, admiring the despair on their faces, and said loudly in broken English.

Then, he took out a black hood from his bag and put it on his head, and walked to the camera lens...

At that time, China, at dawn.

On the highway leading to the airport, a silver car was speeding. The man inside was holding the steering wheel with both hands, and a pair of Bluetooth headsets were plugged into his ears. He had a cold expression on his face, and there was no sign of anger from his expression. , but the clenched hands showed that the master's heart was not peaceful.

"How's the situation over there? Have you found Qin Yi?" Pei Hanrui's voice was low and depressed, and the female editor-in-chief opposite was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe.

Lan Jing took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Sorry, I haven't found it yet. We have already called the police and contacted the embassy. All available resources have been used here. The local police are only near the hotel. I found Qin Yi's mobile phone next to a convenience store, and the shop owner said that Qin Yi had indeed gone shopping, and he hadn't seen him since he left."

"...I see, I will rush over there as soon as possible, and contact me immediately if there is any progress."

"Ah, and it seems that Bai Han is also missing. We can't contact him no matter what. His flight should arrive at night, but he hasn't shown up until now. I suspect that he also..."

Pei Hanrui frowned, another bad news, missing at the same time, is there such a coincidence?

If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have promised Bai Han to take Qin Yi to that kind of place to shoot commercials!

He was thinking a little irritably. At this moment, his attention was focused on the whereabouts of the two of them, and he didn't realize where the abnormal uneasiness in his heart came from.

The time difference between East Africa and China is about 4 or 5 hours. In a blink of an eye, it is already late at night.

Qin Yi, who had been tossing around on the plane all day, encountered this before he had a good rest. At this time, under the critical situation, his nerves were even more tense, and he couldn't relax at all. He looked exhausted. And the man next to him had an ugly expression on his face.

"Hey, guys, are you ready over there?" The leader asked everyone else to put on their hoods, pointing to the computers on the table, and asked a little excitedly.

"Everything is ok."

"Very good, let's do something big! Let's see if those corrupt bastards dare to ignore the aspirations of our civilians!" The leader raised a hand and waved excitedly to the sky, then turned his head and directed The hostages laughed cruelly a few times, and the sound made people get goosebumps.

civilian?

Qin Yi and the Chinese man beside him looked at each other.There was a commotion among the hostages around. Some people tried to negotiate with the kidnappers, but they ignored them all, as if they were determined to kill them all.

"You can start recording."

When the red indicator light on the video recorder was on, the leader suddenly trembled slightly, and he didn't know whether it was nervous or excited.

He put on a hanging voice changer for himself, tried his best to control the stability of his voice, and said slowly to the camera: "Good morning, people, and the bastards of the authorities. Next, I will bring everyone a A bloody feast! Refresh yourself in your morning laziness, and repent carefully of the sins you have committed!"

"Think about what's going on around you, everything is going up in price, food, oil, and soon you won't be able to afford your children's milk powder! Every day, many people die under horrific flying wheels and are killed in the streets. to be shot, and those fat-headed fools never dare to enforce their so-called laws!"

"Think about yourselves and the people around you. We are always treated unfairly. We are doing the same job, but we can get several times the money just because of the color of our skin?!"

"Sinful maggots! You cling to civilians and suck our flesh and blood! Ignore our repeated demonstrations and protests without repentance. Now, open your eyes and look at these people behind me! They have Europeans, Americans, Orientals! Their fate will be your future!"

"At six o'clock sharp, this video will be broadcast on the TV. I will start the countdown of the explosives. You will have 15 minutes to enjoy it slowly!"

After all, he turned away from the camera and let the video recorder take a close-up of the hostages. Panic, despair, wailing and anger flashed across their faces one by one. The leader looked at them with satisfaction, and then asked the people to turn off the video.

Until now, Qin Yi, who has lived in a comfortable and peaceful living environment for 20 years, has finally experienced the horror of being there for those scenes of riots that can only appear on TV.

He caught a glimpse of the explosives hanging above his head, and heard the crying around him...

Maybe in a few hours, he will say goodbye to the world in this inexplicable place with a "boom--", while before he was still ambitious and swore to the editor-in-chief.

Ridiculous isn't it?

In the past, I always felt that the news broadcast day after day was talking nonsense every day. When you really suffered unimaginable disasters, you began to miss the ordinary life in your motherland and hometown. It was a paradise of happiness.

Compared with the great horror that life is about to end and consciousness is about to disappear, love, lovelorn, and career setbacks all of a sudden blur and fade away into a pale background are nothing.

It is precisely because there is still nostalgia for life and life that we are afraid of the coming of death.

Qin Yi is not interested in being a savior. Now, the only thing in his mind that can keep his brain calm and spinning rapidly is the will to survive. He just wants to live well.

Time passed by every minute, and the hostages gradually turned from agitated and angry to deadly and desperate. During this period, a guy who was crazy trying to break the handcuffs was shot by the impatient gangsters, and now he was dispirited and crooked on the ground. On the ground, blood has been flowing, and I am afraid that he will lose blood and die soon.

Qin Yi, on the other hand, has been waiting for the opportunity he expected.

"Are you asleep?" The man beside him frowned and bumped Qin Yi with his elbow.

"No." Qin Yi slowly opened his eyes, which were covered with bloodshot eyes due to fatigue and sleepiness, but he couldn't hide his perseverance and sharpness. The opportunity comes.

"I just heard the sound of a car starting outside." The man's voice was hoarse because he hadn't entered the water for a long time.

Qin Yi stretched out the tip of his tongue and licked his dry lips, his eyes were dark: "Have you noticed that there is no food on the table except water. After one night, they need to eat. There were five kidnappers at first, but now there are only three people left. The leader is gone."

"But the remaining three are not easy to deal with. They have guns in their hands, live ammunition, and we are unarmed and tied up." The man frowned and poured cold water on him.

"Three is really not enough, but if there are only two left, there is a chance."

The man glanced at him suspiciously, his sharp eyes urging him to explain.

"I don't know if it will work. Let's give it a try. It's already dawn. After a while, when the leader comes back and turns on the countdown to the explosives, we will have to die in a foreign land. Our only choice is to let go."

Qin Yi said in a deep voice, perhaps infected by his unusual calmness, the man was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked: "In case of failure, do you have any regrets?"

Qin Yi was taken aback for a moment. At this moment, many people's faces appeared in his mind, and the figures flashed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

He paused, his voice soft as if he was talking to himself: "It's a pity... the people I met and liked in my lifetime are all just passing by in the end..."

Qin Yi turned to look at him: "What about you?"

"...Probably, I haven't taken the most perfect work yet." When he said this, the coldness on the man's face seemed to break slightly, but it disappeared quickly.

Qin Yi didn't have the time to think too much about what he said. He had a bold idea in his heart and needed the cooperation of a man.

"what do you want me to do?"

"Just follow me. These kidnappers are stern, they have ghosts in their hearts, and they will be suspicious at the slightest sign of trouble. This is our chance."

Qin Yi suddenly let out a low exclamation, which attracted the attention of several hostages around him. His face showed mixed expressions of surprise, and he tilted his head and twisted his neck to stare out of the dilapidated window of the warehouse, as if he saw something that could save him. Their hero has arrived at the door.

The Chinese man next to him immediately understood, and followed his gaze to look out, but it was very obscure, and he lightly bumped Qin Yi as a reminder.

Noticing that their eyes met, the other hostages showed an expression of unbelievable anticipation. They also twisted their necks and peeked out secretly. Although they didn't dare to make too much noise, the signal "someone is coming to rescue" quickly passed from them. The eye movement spread to all the hostages.

Although no one has seen whether this "rescue hero" really exists outside, they will grab on to any vain hope in despair, even if they know it is self-deception.

People are always blinded by what they see, thinking that their actions and eyes are hidden and sneaky, but in fact, they think that the teacher can't see it, just like the students who hide their small talk secretly with books in class.

The kidnappers quickly noticed that something was wrong with the hostages, and they tightened their guns immediately. Although the warehouse is very hidden, who knows if someone will pass by and discover them. After such a big case, their hearts I am afraid that the fear and tension are not much better than the hostages.

The three looked at each other and decided to send one to check outside, while the remaining two were here to guard the hostages.

"Listen well, gringo, don't try to play tricks, you will be dead in a while, don't think that someone will come to save you!"

The big man with the gun glared at them viciously, held up his gun, and scanned the hostages with the muzzle for a week. Seeing them avoiding them in horror, he let out a loud laugh.

"Hey, that guy is dead!" Qin Yi suddenly yelled loudly.

Everyone around was taken aback. The big black man pointed his gun at him sharply, and took two steps forward viciously: "What are you talking about? You want to play tricks? Do you want to die too!"

"Listen, he means, the man you shot once is out of breath, and the smell of blood will attract some big guys with particularly sharp noses. I heard that in this country, there are a lot of wild carnivores Bar?"

The man beside Qin Yi immediately explained it to him in fluent English, and the muzzle of the big man turned around and aimed at his eyebrows, and the man said coldly without changing his face: "You have already fired a few times, the gun The sound is also easy to attract some..."

"Shut up!" The big man raised his eyebrows and shouted loudly, and was about to shoot him again, but was stopped by another companion.

"No, what he said makes sense. The boss will be back in a while, so don't let anything happen at this time. You go and see if that person is really dead..."

Another burly man with a hood impatiently pointed his gun at the white man who fell on the ground, and motioned him to take a look with his eyes.

Seeing the big man's footsteps getting closer and closer, Qin Yi looked calm on the surface, but in fact his heart was already in his throat. Facing the muzzle of a gun, who can really be completely calm and calm?

Qin Yi had already sat on the ground and turned into a squatting position. He lowered his head slightly, his bangs naturally drooped down, as if he was afraid of the cold barrel of the gun, and curled up to the side in fear.

His eyes were squinted, staring at the shadow on the ground, and from the corner of his eye, he locked onto the big man's feet.

Get closer, get closer, this distance is not close enough, not enough...

"Hey! Wake up for me! Don't think that if you pretend to be dead, I won't do anything to you. If you don't get up again, believe it or not, I will smash the thing under you!" Jing kept on swearing, and cautiously passed the gun in his hand to the tired man on the ground. The gun in his hand was not a pistol, the barrel was very long, and his finger was on the trigger to prevent the man from pretending to be dead at any time.

"Oh shit!"

Just when the big man was about to bend down and stretched out his hand to test his breath, Qin Yi who was next to him suddenly jumped up and slammed his legs on the big man's knee!

Qin Yi's movements, which he had accumulated for a long time, were incredibly fast. The strength in his legs was so strong, and his footing was a very fragile part of the human body. He knocked the big man down in the hostage pile on the spot!

Those hostages were not all frightened and stupid. The desperation on the verge of death caused them to burst out in a burst of mad revenge and attack, kicking and trampling at the big man desperately, greeting them to the fatal point!

This was not over yet, he stepped on the back of the kidnapper's right hand again, and slammed it left and right. The bones in his hand seemed to be crushed with severe pain. The man quickly leaned over and grabbed it with his mouth, and then delivered it to his hand.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and everyone's attention was on the dead body that no one dared to touch. This surprise made the other gangster panic suddenly. The out-of-control scene and the inner fear made him Subconsciously it was like shooting a gun.

"I killed you!"

With red eyes, he pulled the trigger towards the crowd like crazy—

"boom!!"

China, an airport on the outskirts of a certain city.

The fastest flight to Kenya will have to wait at least two hours. Pei Hanrui is sitting in the VIP lounge. The coffee on the table has been changed from cup to cup. He is sitting on the single sofa with his legs crossed. He closed his eyes lightly, and his black hair, which was originally neatly combed, was slightly loosened.

The cigarette he held between his fingers, the lingering smoke could not relieve his fatigue, the star red light was almost burning to the cigarette butt, and the falling ash burned his hand, and he was unconscious.

He still looked calm and steady, as if he had everything in his hands as always, except that he glanced at the phone from time to time, revealing a trace of abnormal anxiety in the dark.

Such emotions should not have appeared in his heart.
