Half a broken ampoule hidden in the corner of the stairs.
El grew up in the outer city and had to endure illnesses since he was a child, so he had no idea what this thing was.
I just know that this thin glass is not something that would normally appear in a place like this.
But his keen intuition made him put the thing into his pocket. He didn't know but some people knew that Dr. Lin from the East District was famous for his erudition, so he could just let him take a look at it when the time comes.
El wanted to continue observing his surroundings, but suddenly he heard a barely audible sound coming from the door of the unit downstairs.
The quality of residents in the outer city area is generally not high, and the door downstairs will make a very harsh sound when it is closed normally.
But now it only made a slight friction sound, as if it was blown by the wind.
Apart from excluding the possibility that the person who came was a saint who was selected from a hundred thousand people in the outer city, there was only one possibility that could explain the current situation.
An explorer like El.
The new visitor slowed his pace and inched upward, El's position above him matching his movements.
The man came to the third floor, suddenly turned on a not-so-bright flashlight, and began searching for something on the ground.
El saw this scene through the gap in the stairs, and immediately understood the other party's goal, and held the ampoule in his hand tighter.
With the slight reflection on the ground, El tried to see the man's face.
Perhaps it was the excessive silence that alerted the other party, or perhaps El's heartbeat was so intense that it exposed his position.
The other party seemed to have noticed something. He stared at the ground for a few seconds and then suddenly shone the flashlight upwards.
El's head shrank inward, but his gray hair was very obvious in the dark environment, and the other party still noticed his presence.
After a second of stalemate, El ran away.
The other party also reacted quickly and began to chase El with big strides.
The stairs in the tube-shaped building are not very spacious, and there are always used cardboard boxes from some residents placed in the corners.
As El climbed the stairs, he tried to push down the illegal cardboard buildings around him, but the man below was tall and had long legs, so his measures had little effect.
He's just a child!
Al ran to the fifth floor and turned the corner toward Dr. Budd's room.
Since he had been here before, this place was quite familiar to El.
Seeing this, the man refused to give in and continued to chase after him.
The two entered Bud's house, which was cordoned off, one after the other.
