Chapter 89 A Simple Mousetrap
Anyway, Tom didn't think he had any talent for destroying houses.
Zhang Da had no choice but to change the question : "Then can we design a super strong and complex large mousetrap in this house?"
When Tom heard this, he immediately became excited. He leaned over the table, picked up a pen, and quickly drew a dozen complicated drawings. Every line was carefully measured by Tom with a ruler, and was very accurate.
A few minutes later, Tom picked up the blueprint and nodded with satisfaction, then picked up the hammer and saw and started working.
Wooden boards, ropes, buckets, scissors... It seemed that all the materials within Tom's sight could be used. Even if he couldn't find something suitable in the house, he could just feel around behind him and come up with a substitute.
Five minutes later, Tom had almost filled the room with all kinds of things. In some places, the walls were dismantled and sawed into suitable wooden boards.
Although he said he would not demolish the house, the inside of the house had actually been riddled with holes.
In order not to interfere with Tom's arrangements, Zhang Daye and his companions had already retreated to the corner with the "outsiders".
Finally, Tom drew a red cross on the empty space in the middle of the room, declaring the trap complete.
"Boss, Altria, do you think this Teacher Tom made is really a mousetrap?" Rui Mengmeng kept a shocked expression throughout, even though no one could see it.
Altria said calmly, "If he thinks so, then that's it."
Zhang Da also nodded: "That's right, let's move these guys over there anyway."
The store's owner, clerks, customers who came to buy slaves, and several people who were pirates before becoming slaves were all gathered at the place where Tom drew a red cross.
Those who can buy slaves here so naturally are no different from human traffickers, so it is better to deal with them together.
"Then the question is, how do we get out?" Zhang Da also took a look and found that the front door and the back were blocked by Tom's mechanism. There was no way to go out.
In the end, the four of them had to open a hole in the corner of the wall before they could get out.
After walking a distance, the four stood next to a tree, letting the shadow of the tree hide their shadows. Zhang Da also asked in a low voice: "How do we trigger this trap?"
Tom gestured, but because he was invisible no one could see him, so he wrote on the ground with his finger, "Wait two more minutes."
Two minutes later, the sound of an alarm clock rang out. It was an old-fashioned alarm clock with a pendulum. The pendulum swung rapidly from side to side, striking the bell above and at the same time driving a thin iron rod.
The other end of the iron rod was connected to a saw. As the iron rod moved back and forth, the saw cut through a piece of wood. One end of the wood fell down and hit the handle of a pair of standing scissors.
The scissors snapped shut, cutting a line. A hammer suspended by a thin line fell down and hit a lever, prying a billiard ball out of the tray at the other end of the lever.
The black No. 8 billiard ball drew a beautiful parabola and fell onto a high platform built by Tom with wooden boards, and hit a small wooden board, or should I say domino.
After the dominoes turned many corners and formed a beautiful cat's head pattern, the last one fell into the bucket below.
Just this little bit of weight destroyed the balance of the seesaw on which the bucket was resting, and as one end of the seesaw fell, the bucket tipped over.
The water in the bucket was poured precisely into another bucket suspended by a line. As the weight increased, the line connected to the bucket pulled a very complicated pulley system.
Finally, the thin wire at the end of the pulley broke, and a huge iron ingot hanging from the roof beam fell down mercilessly.
"100T" is written on the iron ingot, and underneath are the scums piled on the red cross.
Bang!
The scene was not bloody. A group of people were smashed into paper men at the same time and embedded deeply into the ground along with iron ingots.
Since the trap designed by Tom is a mousetrap, not a murder trap, it is not fatal.
If they had the same physique as Tom and Jerry, they would be able to recover quickly, but if not, I don't know what would happen.
As the large iron ingot fell to the ground, the whole house shook, and then, perhaps by coincidence, cracks began to appear on the wall at the place where Zhang Daye and his team had opened a hole.
The walls of the house, from which Tom had removed the boards, began to crack, and finally the entire roof collapsed, raising clouds of smoke and dust.
The sudden change scared the pedestrians on the road. As they often encounter emergencies, they instinctively took a big step away from danger.
Some people had already drawn their weapons and were staring vigilantly at the ruins and the people on the other side of the ruins who also had their weapons drawn.
"They must have been responsible for the collapse of the house! They wanted to murder us!" The two sides exchanged glances and realized that they were members of a rival gang.
The two rival families, whose vision was originally blocked by the house, began to confront each other quietly.
Not long after, the gang that was covering this store also got the news and rushed over.
Except for Tom himself, no one was surprised that his trap made such a big noise. After all, the trap was so grand and powerful that no one would believe it.
Zhang Da also found the position of Tom's head and patted it gently: "You said you wouldn't destroy the house."
Tom shook his head vigorously. Impossible, I didn’t demolish the house, I really just made a mousetrap!
"Okay, let's retreat. There might be a big fight here." Zhang Da also calculated the time and it was almost time to go back and open the shop.
What happened here did not spread until the evening, and Zhang Da also heard people talking about it when he opened the shop in the evening.
Basically, two gangs of dozens of people started a war, and then a third party intervened strongly, and as a result, the two small gangs that started the war first were all killed.
It is said that swords, spears and guns were used together and the fighting was very fierce.
However, no one mentioned the store that was suspected to have been demolished by two small gangs. Perhaps it was because it was not worth mentioning compared to the gang war.
Regarding this kind of thing, Zhang Da could only say that a bunch of villains had died, which was cause for celebration.
I don't know who the final winner is. It sounds like they are protecting that store. I wonder if we can find their lair and kill their boss.
…
At this time, the person Zhang Da wanted to kill was listening to his subordinates' reports through the Den Den Mushi.
"I'm very sorry that we lost a store today." As the person in charge who stayed in Shampoodi, he was a little worried about being punished.
"What's the reason?" The voice on the other end was flat.
"It seems that it was destroyed due to a fight between two small gangs. However, since all the slaves and store employees are missing, it is possible that someone came to rescue the slaves. Since all our other stores are safe and sound, it is unlikely that this action was specifically targeted at us."
They were unable to find the store manager and the clerk. Although there was a suspicious large iron ingot embedded in the ground in the middle of the ruins, more than a dozen people were unable to lift it out, so they did not believe that someone had used this thing to destroy the evidence.
"Then you guys can handle it yourselves. It's just a store. I don't have the energy to take care of these trivial matters right now ."
"yes!"
After the call was hung up, someone next to him asked, "Is there something wrong in Shampoo Land? Don't you need to send someone over to deal with it?"
“It doesn’t matter. Getting involved in that field is just a stepping stone to the dark world. That kind of business will be abandoned by the times sooner or later.
The most important thing now is our next plan, let’s give those people a surprise, furfufufufu…”
