Chapter 20 48h (3)
The huge shadow above the head suddenly disappeared as the mechanical sound disappeared, as if it was just a vague nightmare before waking up.
But the smell of smoke had not yet dissipated and there was no sound of running in the corridor.
Gu Qiufeng quickly got up from the bed. He could still smell the strange fragrance faintly at the tip of his nose, which made his limbs feel a little weak and his consciousness a little scattered.
He gently unwound the bandages on his hands and used his fingernails to dig into the scarred wounds on his hands. As the worm-like burned pink flesh was uncovered, the pain with the blood attracted Gu Qiufeng's attention.
He calmed his breath and slowly moved from the bed to the door.
Gu Qiufeng gently turned the door handle with two fingers, his back pressed tightly against the door, and a little blood seeping from the scar on the palm of his hand smeared onto the door handle.
one two three……
The air was so quiet that it seemed as if the molecules were no longer active, and this quietness brought with it a sense of panic and uncertainty.
It was as if he had entered a pure white space. Gu Qiufeng didn't know what he would face after opening the door.
He recited the numbers quietly, and his palms were slightly sweaty.
"gentlemen."
Suddenly, Feng He's voice came out.
Gu Qiufeng's hand trembled, and the wound was pressed against the stainless steel door handle. The smell of rust melted into his flesh, making him groan.
Feng He reached out and supported Gu Qiufeng: "Sir, are you injured?!"
Seeing the familiar face, Gu Qiufeng felt that the stone that had been hanging in his heart had finally fallen a little.
However, he did not completely relax, but asked Feng He: "Do you feel it?"
Feng He said, "It's so quiet, and there's a thick smell of smoke from a fire."
Seeing that his feelings were consistent with his own, Gu Qiufeng nodded slightly, discarding the possibility that he was hallucinating, and asked instead: "Why did you come now? Is there something wrong?"
Speaking of this, Feng He's face looked a little unhappy. He said, "Sorry, sir, there is a monster in the dressing mirror in my room. It is very difficult to deal with. Later, I heard someone shouting 'fire'..."
"Then the monster disappeared, right?" Gu Qiufeng said, "It happened to me too. Don't cry yet, I'm not hurt. I scratched my hand myself."
Feng He sniffed hard with red eyes: "I won't let the gentleman be in danger next time!"
Gu Qiufeng: “…”
Is Fenghe’s work attitude a bit too positive?
He patted Feng He's head. The question of how to educate a child could wait until the dungeon was released. Right now, there were more important things to do: "Let's go and see Shao Qiu Shui's room."
"I heard the announcement of her death."
Before entering the dungeon, Shen Yubo told him that he could go and read the review and summary of previous posts on this type of cyclic dungeon.
As the name suggests, a loop copy will trap players in a time or space. It does not have a main line like a role-playing copy, nor does it have various death conditions like a survival copy. There is only one way to pass a loop copy from beginning to end - find the limiting node of the loop, break the node, and jump out of the loop.
Obviously, Shao Qiu Shui's death will cause the copy to recycle, and she, the NPC, is the node that Gu Qiufeng and Feng He need to find a way to break this time.
So here comes the question -
Feng He was knocking on Shao Qiu Shui's closed door as instructed by Gu Qiu Feng.
While wrapping the bandage, Gu Qiufeng was concentrating on observing the movements in Shao Qiu Shui's bedroom.
Are they starting to cycle now?
Gu Qiufeng was unsure. This blank and silent environment would suppress one's rationality to the extreme. Some irritable emotions arose involuntarily, making him unable to help but tighten the bandage wrapped around his hands and tie a knot with his teeth.
Time is the most pressing thing now, and the way to judge whether they have truly entered a cycle is to directly see whether Shao Qiu Shui is dead.
The moment Gu Qiufeng's teeth loosened the bandage, Feng He kicked the door open.
A scarlet flame appeared from the crack in the door, and Gu Qiufeng subconsciously dodged to the side.
Feng He reacted very quickly. The moment he kicked the door open, he immediately jumped away and pushed Gu Qiufeng with his arm. The two of them rolled to the side together.
Gu Qiufeng was protected by Feng He's body. From his field of vision, he could see the crazy flames bursting out like a flood the moment Feng He kicked open the door.
He quickly stood up with Feng He and said quickly, "Run."
Thick black smoke swept over along with the raging fire, like a monster chasing after the two men.
Gu Qiufeng looked towards Shao Qiu Shui's bedroom.
The place was shrouded in thick smoke, a mixture of black and red, like the depths of some fictional hell.
A blackened mummy that was burned all over was swaying in the fire. It did not chase after Gu Qiufeng and Feng He, but just stood in the middle of the bedroom, moving its hands and feet strangely.
Is that Shao Qiu Shui?
Some thoughts flashed through Gu Qiufeng's mind quickly, but before he had time to think about it carefully, he was picked up by Feng He in the next second.
Feng He took him and jumped down from the window sill, landing steadily on the ground.
Gu Qiufeng was slightly distracted. The feeling of weightlessness after jumping from a tall building was beyond the perception limit of a normal human being like him. However, he was soon brought back to his senses by a strong smell of blood.
When he saw Feng He sweating profusely, Gu Qiufeng suddenly realized that although Feng He, as the incarnation of a ghost, would not really die, he was still using a human body that would be injured and in pain, because the boy's legs were directly broken after jumping from a high building.
"You..." Gu Qiufeng paused, then said, "You go to the cards and take a rest first."
Without waiting for Feng He to react, he used his skill to put Feng He into the card.
Yucheng University has once again become quiet and deserted.
Gu Qiufeng stood downstairs and looked up at the apartment building. He found that in addition to their apartment, there were several other windows that were clearly emitting black smoke.
It should be a player who is in the same situation as me.
Gu Qiufeng turned around and guessed where Shen Yubo should be waiting for him.
The most important thing right now is to exchange information in advance.
A white cat suddenly jumped past him.
Gu Qiufeng's expression turned stern.
It is not normal for fresh life to suddenly appear in this empty campus.
For example, Shao Qiu Shui, and this white cat that appeared out of nowhere.
Gu Qiufeng immediately decided to follow and see.
The white cat ran neither fast nor slow, and Gu Qiufeng could just keep up. For a moment, he had the illusion that the white cat was deliberately leading the way.
No, maybe not an illusion.
After all, there was something really wrong with this cat.
Its fur was smooth and white as if there was not a trace of dust on it. Occasionally, it would look back at Gu Qiufeng, as if to confirm whether he was following it well.
Gu Qiufeng: “…”
Gu Qiufeng followed suit, slowing down his pace without making a sound.
The white cat looked back again and found that the man in the black suit was gone.
Its beautiful eyes were filled with confusion, and it even meowed to try to call Gu Qiufeng out.
No one.
The white cat paced slowly, trying to see where the human was lost.
As a result, it had just taken two steps back when the skin on the back of its neck was pinched by the evil big hand.
The white cat's fur stood on end and it meowed miserably in fear.
Then it was pulled by the scruff of the neck and met Gu Qiufeng's gaze.
Gu Qiufeng looked at the exquisite and beautiful ragdoll cat in his hand, which was only slightly larger than his palm, and sneered: "Which player's prop or skill are you?"
The ragdoll cat meowed softly and blinked its innocent big glazed eyes in an attempt to get away with it.
Gu Qiufeng: “.”
If he wasn't unable to use his skills on this cat, he might really be blinded by its cuteness.
When the Ragdoll Cat realized that his first attempt at cuteness was not enough, he immediately and decisively launched a second attack.
It was held by the scruff of the neck and stretched its head to rub against Gu Qiufeng's hand.
Gu Qiufeng's face darkened after he succeeded: "..."
He took a breath.
Hold on, mysophobia is not as important as the copy!
The man and the cat just stared at each other in a stalemate until a familiar voice was heard.
Gu Qiufeng turned around in surprise, only to find that the white cat led him to the dance studio where he first met Shao Qiu Shui.
Thick smoke was faintly visible from the apartment building in the distance, but Shao Qiu Shui was still practicing dancing intact!
Behind the transparent glass of the dance studio, Shao Qiu Shui was stretching her graceful shoulders and neck.
Then she seemed to hear some sound. She raised her eyes. Gu Qiufeng didn't care how many bacteria were on the cat's body. She quickly held the cat and found a nearby tree to hide her body.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Shao Qiu Shui's voice could be heard faintly.
Gu Qiufeng frowned and wanted to get closer to listen.
There was a sudden pain in my fingertips.
The little guy in his arms took advantage of Gu Qiufeng's inattention and bit Gu Qiufeng's bandaged finger. While Gu Qiufeng was in pain and trying to relieve himself, he ran away.
Gu Qiufeng wanted to chase after her, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar skirt.
"Hey, why is Mr. Gu here?"
Gu Qiufeng looked at the person who came and found that it was Shen Yubo. Behind her was a girl with bangs and an oval face.
"Oh," Shen Yubo walked a few steps towards Gu Qiufeng and saw the scene in Gu Qiufeng's window. He said, "Is that the student who is responsible for one-on-one with you?"
Gu Qiufeng originally thought that Shen Yubo was so calm that she had not had time to enter the apartment, so she happened to not encounter the fire. But for some reason, a strange feeling emerged in his heart.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yubo gradually realized that something was wrong with Gu Qiufeng's face. She looked around and said, "Where's Feng He? I saw him with you at the school gate just now."
Gu Qiufeng asked, "Miss Shen, what time is it now?"
Shen Yubo was stunned for a moment, then said: "When we entered the dungeon, the terminal time was eight o'clock in the morning. It should be less than nine o'clock now. After all, we just entered the dungeon not long ago."
Gu Qiufeng took a deep breath.
He finally knew what was wrong.
Apart from anything else, after finding Shao Qiu Shui, they walked around the campus together, then returned to the apartment, and had just escaped from the fire. It was impossible that this series of events had happened in just an hour.
Shen Yubo asked blankly: "Did you find something?"
"I think," Gu Qiufeng said solemnly, "I have come back to the cycle."
Perhaps from the moment he heard the system announce the NPC's death, Gu Qiufeng had already started the cycle.
Shen Yubo found an excuse to get rid of the NPC around him, then frowned and looked at Gu Qiufeng: "You mean, you have already looped?"
"Yes." Gu Qiufeng briefly explained his situation to her, and then said, "Did you see the white cat just now? It was a very cute ragdoll cat. It was the one that led me away from the burning apartment building."
"White cat?" Shen Yubo asked in surprise, "I haven't seen one before. I'll keep an eye out for you next time."
Gu Qiufeng thanked him. It was still unknown whether the white cat was a player or some other existence, but for some reason, Gu Qiufeng felt that it was unlikely to be a product of the game.
Could it be that there are players in this dungeon who want to kill him, and there are other players helping him?
Only by finding the white cat again can Gu Qiufeng figure out the other party's intentions.
"If everyone's cycle nodes are different," Shen Yubo murmured, "this timeline is really messy."
In the past, players would rewind time together in loop copies. Now, if a single player rewinds, much of the information cannot be exchanged and verified due to the time difference.
Gu Qiufeng took a quick look and said, "At least it is certain that my timeline priority is currently higher than yours, which means that you had not yet encountered any trouble when I encountered it."
"You've already cycled through it once, so hurry up and find more clues to avoid death." Shen Yubo said neatly, "In that case, you don't have to worry too much about me. Focus on your own timeline and clear it as soon as possible."
When Gu Qiufeng was talking to Shen Yubo just now, he paid some attention to Shao Qiu Shui in the dance studio.
The sound of the girl arguing with her mother came here intermittently through the cracks in the glass of the dance studio.
Gu Qiufeng saw a watch in the dance studio.
When the clock hands pointed to nine o'clock, Shao Qiu Shui's mother just left.
Gu Qiufeng estimated that he and Feng He were harassed at the door by a player who had accepted his bounty order, which wasted time. Then he spent a lot of effort looking for the person with the number tag. Therefore, when they found Shao Qiu Shui in the previous timeline, it was much later than nine o'clock, and thus missed the scene where Shao Qiu Shui quarreled with his mother.
After the loop started, he escaped from the burning apartment. Although he hadn't figured out the situation yet, with the guidance of the white cat, he arrived at Shao Qiu Shui's dance studio unimpeded, which just made up for the missing information in his previous timeline.
The player behind the white cat probably has a higher timeline priority than him and Shen Yubo.
Gu Qiufeng calmed down. What he had to do now was to find out the real cause of Shao Qiu Shui's death. If he needed to break out of the loop, first of all, the NPC Shao Qiu Shui must not die.
He summoned Feng He from the card. Feng He's foot injury had healed by itself. Gu Qiufeng took him to meet Shao Qiu Shui in the dance studio again.
"Hello, Mr. Shao."
The moment the girl turned her head to look at him, Gu Qiufeng spoke first.
Shao Qiushui was surprised and asked, "Do you know me?"
Gu Qiufeng smiled and said, "I have heard about it. After all, he is the one who is responsible for receiving our classmates."
He took the initiative to seize the right to speak this time. Gu Qiufeng, whose main job is an agent, was naturally good at talking. In a short while, he made Shao Qiu Shui, a little girl who had never left the ivory tower, very happy and got a lot of information out of her.
For example, there was a fire at Yucheng University half a year ago.
Because this was his second time to visit the campus, Gu Qiufeng needed to ensure that the time difference with Shao Qiu Shui's death node in the previous timeline was not too great, so he did not skip this process, but instead used it to quietly sort out the route and various landmark buildings in his mind.
Next time he must catch the free-moving white cat.
Following the process of the previous timeline, Gu Qiufeng arrived at the apartment building. After taking a look, he found that the traces of the fire had disappeared. It seemed that the apartment building where they escaped from the fire was actually located in a buffer zone between the two timelines.
What would happen if you didn't escape?
When Gu Qiufeng was assuming this possibility, he and Shao Qiushui were taking the elevator to the apartment arranged by the school. A gentle voice interrupted his thoughts: "Student Gu, do you have time later?"
"Huh?" Gu Qiufeng was stunned for a moment. In his memory, Shao Qiu Shui in the previous timeline did not have any unnecessary conversation with him in the elevator.
Shao Qiu Shui said: "Our apartment building is not equipped with a washing machine. Although we can install one ourselves, we just applied for it. I want to wash clothes, but..."
She said, embarrassedly: "My dormitory is not here. I heard some bad rumors about the public washing machine in this apartment building. I am a little hesitant to go there."
As Shao Qiushui spoke, a frustrated look appeared on her face: "I'm sorry, I'm such a grown-up girl, but I'm still afraid of these rumors. Isn't it a bit embarrassing?"
"Everyone is afraid of something. It's not surprising that Shao is afraid of something." Gu Qiufeng said, "Then after Feng He and I pick a room, we will go with you."
Shao Qiu Shui then breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."
In the previous timeline, Gu Qiufeng and Shao Qiu Shui were both following the main process in a businesslike manner. There was no unnecessary conversation between the two. From Shao Qiu Shui's words and actions, it can be seen that she is not the type who is willing to trouble others.
But this time, Gu Qiufeng deliberately talked a lot with Shao Qiu Shui at the beginning, winning Shao Qiu Shui's basic goodwill towards him, so Shao Qiu Shui tentatively wanted to seek help from this seemingly enthusiastic exchange student.
Gu Qiufeng suddenly thought of something.
If Shao Qiu Shui had mustered up the courage to go to the public washing machine where there were said to be dirty things after he and Feng He entered the house, would he have met with danger there?
The elevator suddenly stopped when it reached the second floor. Shen Yubo and the NPC who was in charge of leading her also walked in. When they met Gu Qiufeng's gaze, they were both surprised.
Shen Yubo quietly pointed a finger at Gu Qiufeng, indicating that her timeline had not changed at all, and then she politely said to Shao Qiushui who was standing next to the elevator button: "I'll go to the sixth floor, thank you."
Gu Qiufeng lived on the ninth floor, and the two of them lived neither close nor far away.
Shao Qiushui's eyes moved between Gu Qiufeng and Shen Yubo: "Student Gu, do you know each other?"
Shen Yubo said: "We took a bus when we came here."
Gu Qiufeng asked Shen Yubo, "Do you want to go wash clothes together later?"
Shen Yubo understood that this was Gu Qiufeng's intention to invite her to go with him. She pretended to be puzzled: "We just got here, do we have any clothes to wash?"
Gu Qiufeng said, "Then consider it as you accompanying us. Classmate Shao said there are some scary rumors about the washing machine, let's go together to build up our courage."
The two people exchanged clues.
The female classmate next to Shen Yubo asked curiously: "Are you all going?"
Shen Yubo smiled and said to her, "If Ah Xiu is afraid, you don't have to go."
Gu Qiufeng was a little surprised when he heard this.
Although Shen Yubo is a nice person, she usually speaks and acts in a sharp and aggressive manner. It may be due to the reality of her job. She rarely speaks to others in such a soft tone.
At least Gu Qiufeng has never seen it.
Moreover, in just a few hours, he and Shao Qiu Shui could only barely communicate with each other, but Shen Yubo and the NPC already acted very familiar with each other.
"What time do you plan to go?" Shen Yubo asked.
I don’t know if it’s because this copy is designed related to time, but there are clocks hanging in both the bedroom of the apartment and the dance studio where I first met Shao Qiu Shui.
Gu Qiufeng thought about the time since he last entered the bedroom and heard the announcement of "Shao Qiushui's death", and said, "Come downstairs to find me at two o'clock in the afternoon."
"Okay." Shen Yubo agreed immediately.
"By the way, what are you doing on the second floor?" Gu Qiufeng asked.
Shen Yubo uttered "Ah" and subconsciously looked at the girl named Ah Xiu behind him: "Some private matters."
Gu Qiufeng understood and stopped asking questions.
The elevator stopped again on the fourth floor, and the young man with peach blossom eyes who was familiar to Gu Qiufeng also came in.
When the other party saw so many people in the elevator, he paused for a moment.
He unplugged his headphones, walked over to Gu Qiufeng and stopped, whispering, "Which floor are you on?"
Because the death of an NPC will cause time to go back, Gu Qiufeng and Shen Yubo apparently made a unanimous decision after exchanging this key information - to keep the NPC under their own noses as much as possible.
But the young man was obviously alone.
As the young man spoke, he pulled the mask down to his chin, revealing a fair and beautiful face that looked very youthful.
Gu Qiufeng noticed a little red on his lips.
He also whispered, "I'm on the ninth floor."
The young man said "Oh" and said calmly, "We live across the street."
There are only two apartments on one floor.
Gu Qiufeng didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.
So he couldn't help but ask a few more questions: "Where are the classmates who brought you?"
The young man replied, "He left me behind and went to the library."
Gu Qiufeng: “.”
There is actually a scroll king in this kind of horror copy!
Seeing that the young man didn't seem to care about the other person's life or death, Gu Qiufeng hesitated, wondering whether he should ask him to pay more attention to the NPC's life safety.
The young man seemed to know what he was going to say. He looked up at him and said, "I want to go see the washing machine. The classmate who took me there," he paused, "said there are some interesting rumors about the washing machine. Do you want to come with us?"
Gu Qiufeng: "Sure, we were going to go too."
Shen Yubo didn't say anything, obviously having no objection to having one more person.
The elevator reached the sixth floor, and Shen Yubo and Ah Xiu went out first.
Gu Qiufeng suddenly held the young man's shoulders and whispered, "I think I saw a bug on your body. I'll help you get rid of it."
The young man had no doubts and thanked him softly.
The elevator quickly reached the ninth floor and they went to their respective apartments.
The moment he closed the door, Gu Qiufeng lowered his eyes and glanced at his palm. On the bandage that was already covered with dust, there lay a strand of pure white cat hair.
＊
This time, Gu Qiufeng directly asked to sleep in the same room with Feng He in front of Shao Qiu Shui.
"You also know that Feng He is relatively young." Gu Qiufeng said, "His parents asked me to take care of him."
Shao Qiu Shui understood.
Gu Qiufeng compared the combat power of the two ghosts in his room and Fenghe's room, and decisively chose the one with the mirror ghost.
It just so happens that his skills have not been used yet, so it might as well be possible to use Mirror Ghost as the first card.
The last time Gu Qiufeng saw the monster on the wall in the room, he was forced into a passive coma, but Feng He was also fighting with the mirror ghost at this time, so his coma may not have been long, and the fire broke out. At the same time, Shao Qiu Shui was in danger and died.
Gu Qiufeng deduced from Feng He's statement that the fire occurred around 2:30 p.m.
That's why he planned to accompany Shao Qiu Shui to the laundry room thirty minutes in advance to confirm whether the laundry room was the real place of Shao Qiu Shui's death.
The mummy they saw in the fire looked very similar to Shao Qiu Shui in shape and movement.
But this time, after Gu Qiufeng and Feng He entered the room together, the mirror ghost did not come out again.
Gu Qiufeng: “…”
Ah, lost skills!
So he could only sit on the edge of the bed dejectedly, watching the clock on the wall tick by bit, while letting Feng He broadcast live in front of the camera on his behalf to earn tips.
[It’s so funny. Although Feng He is very cute, the look in Boss Gu’s eyes is so resentful]
[It seems that Boss Gu’s live broadcast room is very popular. Now, has Boss Gu turned off the SC broadcast sound?]
[The above post is because someone edited the live broadcast of the last instance and posted it on the forum. It is Feng He’s personal post. Many people came to see who this first boss out of the instance is.]
[But I miss Mengwu bro so much. Now he is not number one anymore. Tears in my eyes]
[What did Boss Gu take out!!! It was a wooden cub!!!]
Feng He happened to turn his head. After seeing the wooden figure in Gu Qiufeng's hand, he seemed to recall some bad memories. His expression froze and he asked awkwardly, "Did Mr. Gu bring this little guy out of the dungeon as well?"
"Yes. Although it was a dead object mapped with my soul in the dungeon, it seems to have self-awareness after leaving the dungeon." Gu Qiufeng teased the wooden man, "I didn't have time to tell you. When I first entered the dungeon, I was not sure how dangerous it was. The little guy was so weak that I couldn't lift him. I was afraid that he would get hurt."
Feng He said "Oh" sourly.
Gu Qiufeng glanced at him and said, "It was urgent before, and I didn't have time to teach you a lesson. Who gave you the order to hold me and jump off the building?"
Feng He felt guilty and whispered, "I have the ability to heal myself, but Mr. Gu doesn't. If the fire catches up with him, Mr. Gu will get hurt."
"You do have the ability to heal yourself." Gu Qiufeng's face darkened, "But you will also feel pain and get hurt. Feng He, I rescued you from the dungeon. Do you remember what I promised you?"
Feng He lowered his eyes, like a cat that had done something wrong and was scolded by its owner, but he still answered Gu Qiufeng's question seriously: "Mr. Gu said he would be my agent and make many people like me."
Gu Qiufeng said: "Yes, an agent will not let his artists get hurt. This is my job responsibility."
"Is that so?" Feng He asked doubtfully. He had lived in that poor dungeon village all his life and had no idea what the current entertainment industry was like. He enviously asked, "Then Mr. Gu's former artists should be very happy, right?"
Gu Qiufeng thought of Xie Xin and sneered, "He is just an ungrateful wolf."
As the two were talking, Shao Qiushui knocked on the door gently: "Student Gu, Student Feng, it's time for us to go."
So Gu Qiufeng didn't say anything more. He put the wooden man back into the card, stood up, and said to Feng He: "Let's go. The premise of protecting me is that you can ensure that you don't get hurt."
Feng He actually wanted to ask more. Mr. Gu always behaved like a nonchalant and slightly rebellious mature adult in front of him. This was the first time he showed an expression...that Feng He had never seen before.
There was indifference, sarcasm, and a hint of sadness that perhaps even Mr. Gu himself was not aware of.
But now was no longer a good time to continue the conversation, so Feng He could only suppress his curiosity.
He couldn't help but wonder, what kind of heartless person could make such a good man like Mr. Gu become like this?
*
Shao Qiu Shui took out a laundry basket, which contained her daily clothes for the past two days.
The girl took a shower, and now the ends of her hair were still a little wet. Seeing Gu Qiufeng and Feng He coming out, she still looked a little uneasy: "I'm sorry, I just washed some clothes, and I still need you to accompany me."
Gu Qiufeng smiled soothingly: "Just treat it as an adventure."
What's more, if Shao Qiu Shui died, the copy would have to be repeated again, and there would be no fun at all.
When I went out, the flax-gray young man was squatting next to the elevator at the door, pulling the leaves of the potted plants next to him.
When Gu Qiufeng walked over, he saw a pile of leaves scattered around his feet.
Sensing a shadow approaching, the "culprit" who destroyed the potted plants raised his head and said before Gu Qiufeng could speak: "Yu Chiang."
Gu Qiufeng said helplessly: "I just want to pull you up."
Yu Chi'ang looked up at him, without wearing a mask, a trace of persistence flashed across his delicate face.
Gu Qiufeng had no choice but to stretch out a hand and said, "Okay, I'll remember your name. Then, classmate Xiao Yu, do you want to get up?"
Only then did Yu Chiang silently take his hand and use the force to stand up.
After standing up, Yu Chiang asked, "Xiao Yu? Which Yu?"
Seeing that he had no expression on his face but was extremely serious, Gu Qiufeng said mischievously, "Small fish that cats love to eat."
Yu Chi'ang shook his head and gestured, "Don't make a mistake in remembering the Yu in Concubine Yu."
The elevator door opened at this moment. After Yu Chiang finished speaking, he turned and walked into the elevator.
Gu Qiufeng retracted his smile in a second, and while Yu Chiang didn't turn around, he quickly took out a tissue and wiped his hands.
He did not forget that Yu Chiang was touching a potted plant that might have been sprayed with a lot of pesticides and had insects.
Gu Qiufeng was a little confused about Yu Chiang's thoughts.
The cat hair found on Yu Chi'ang made Gu Qiufeng suspect that the biting white cat was Yu Chi'ang's prop or skill, but he just deliberately used homophony to test the young man, but Yu Chi'ang seemed indifferent.
Could it be that the white cat accidentally dropped its fur on Yu Chiang?
Feng He and Shao Qiu Shui both entered the elevator, so Gu Qiufeng collected his thoughts and followed them in.
When they reached the sixth floor, Shen Yubo and Ah Xiu walked in together.
It seemed that there was something in Ah Xiu's arms.
Gu Qiufeng looked carefully and found that it was Ben Ma Yuan.
Gu Qiufeng: “.”
I feel like this Ah Xiu might have some common topics with Feng Xinshu from the previous copy.
"The washing machine is on the twelfth floor, the top floor."
Shao Qiu Shui reminded Yu Chiang, who was pressing the button next to him, to press the twelfth floor.
The scarlet numbers on the display screen above the elevator buttons were jumping rapidly, and the dizzy feeling of weightlessness slightly disturbed people and gave them the illusion of a disordered heartbeat. With a gust of cold air, the elevator door opened on the dark twelfth floor.
"Strange..." Shao Qiushui stamped her feet and found that the voice-activated lights were not on. The corridors on both sides were so dark that it seemed like a giant beast was waiting for an opportunity to strike. She shrank back into the elevator, "I remember that the school did not issue a power outage notice."
It was clearly the hottest time of the afternoon, but because the corridor had no windows at all, it seemed dark.
The dark corridor seemed to have a mouth wide open, ready to swallow them all.
Shao Qiushui felt an unprecedented panic. She looked at Gu Qiufeng for help: "Why don't we go back..."
Yu Chiang said calmly: "There's no going back."
"What?" Shao Qiushui glanced at the elevator display and felt as if a bucket of cold water had poured down on him. "Why is it the eighteenth floor?"
She said in horror: "This apartment building is only twelve stories high."
No one spoke.
Shao Qiu Shui's voice fell faintly, and caused a tiny sound in the empty corridor, like tiny needles densely stimulating the nerve endings of everyone in the elevator.
Yu Chiang pressed every button, but the elevator didn't move at all and the door didn't even close.
The scarlet number "18" cast a gloomy light on everyone's face.
Gu Qiufeng suddenly asked: "What time is it?"
Yu Chiang had a watch on his wrist. He glanced at it and said, "Two o'clock nine."
"Let's go and do the laundry." Gu Qiufeng patted Shao Qiushui's shoulder, "Since we're here."
Shao Qiushui was at a loss, holding the laundry basket tightly. After hearing what Gu Qiufeng said, she said in disbelief, "If there is a power outage, how can the washing machine still have power?"
Gu Qiufeng said: "What if?"
"After all, we still don't know if this is really the twelfth floor."
He spoke lightly, as if he was joking, but it made Ah Xiu and Shao Qiu Shui from Yucheng University look even paler.
No one lives on the twelfth floor, and two apartment rooms have been converted into areas for vending machines and public washing machines.
Shao Qiu Shui followed the direction he remembered and used the door card to open the apartment door on the right.
With a creak—
Shao Qiu Shui pushed the door open tremblingly.
A cold wind suddenly blew towards everyone's faces.
The first thing that catches your eye is the red curtains fluttering in the wind in front of the window opposite the door.
More than a dozen washing machines are neatly laid out in the room.
Although most of the light was blocked by the curtains, it was obvious that it was still daytime outside and the room was bright, not as dark and terrifying as the corridor.
Shao Qiu Shui breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Qiufeng walked around her and went to the washing machine closest to the door.
He was wearing a black suit and opened the door of the washing machine as naturally as if he was reviewing documents in the company.
There seemed to be a sudden strong airflow outside, and a buzzing vibration sounded suddenly. The scarlet curtains were blown by the wind the moment Gu Qiufeng opened the roller door, as if a ball of fire had suddenly started.
"Ah!" Shao Qiu Shui screamed in fright, and the laundry basket was almost thrown down. Fortunately, Shen Yubo next to him caught the things in time.
Yu Chiang walked a few steps to the window and closed it. The curtains, like a raging fire, suddenly became weak and lost their original arrogance.
The wind outside the window sounded like the howling of a ghost.
However, there was an even more abrupt sound echoing in the room.
Buzz buzz buzz.
"It's a washing machine." said Gu Qiufeng.
Ah Xiu whispered, "Maybe someone's clothes haven't been washed yet. Because I'm usually short on time, I usually put the clothes in the washing machine and set the timer, then go downstairs and pick up the clothes when the time is up."
The walls of this apartment were broken down to form one room. Because the windows were closed and the heavy curtains were drawn, the light in the room suddenly dimmed. The blood-red color of the reflective curtains could be faintly seen on the dim interior floor.
Shao Qiushui breathed a sigh of relief, and she said nervously, "Then let's put the clothes in the washing machine and go out?"
Yu Chiang looked at the washing machine in the center of the room.
"That's it," he said firmly.
Gu Qiufeng counted them and said, "No matter how you count, it's the seventh one."
As everyone discovered this, the sound of the running washing machine suddenly became louder and the body of the washing machine began to vibrate violently.
Ah Xiu was so scared that she hid behind Shen Yubo. She wanted to make a joke to ease the overly tense atmosphere, but she found that Shen Yubo's face was more solemn than she had ever seen before.
It seemed like that was not a sign of normal operation of the washing machine, but as if something would really break through the body of the machine.
The noise of the washing machine is getting louder and louder, making people worry that it will burn out the circuit in the next second.
Just as everyone was staring intently at the washing machine that seemed like it was about to explode, the sound of glass breaking suddenly came from behind Yu Chiang.
The window suddenly exploded.
The wind carried the glass fragments towards Yu Chi'ang, as if in revenge for his act of shutting it out.
Yu Chiang suddenly turned around and rolled to Gu Qiufeng's side. At the same time, he reached out and pulled down the broken curtain to prevent it from covering Gu Qiufeng with the broken glass.
The fiery red curtains fell to the ground, and the floor suddenly looked like a huge pool of blood.
The wind suddenly blew in, and the crying and shouting drowned out the noise of the washing machine.
The shaking washing machine also slowly stopped at this moment.
The drum door slowly opened with a "beep" sound, as if something inside was eager to come out.
Shao Qiu Shui took just one look and couldn't hold back any longer before vomiting.
A pair of legs that had been soaked white were squeezed out and kept shaking outside the washing machine.
It can be vaguely seen that the fabric covering the thighs is the JK skirt style commonly worn by girls.
The wind was still rushing into the room.
Then the swollen and white legs began to sway in the strong wind.
It's like a girl sitting in a drum and swinging on a swing.
Gu Qiufeng suddenly felt something cold and sharp pressed against the back of his neck.
"Don't move." Someone said in his ear.
