Shang Qianyu bit the flashlight and tried to stop the tremor in his voice: "We, we are trapped in the dormitory management office?"
Why do I feel that this so-called dormitory room is so limited in its function? I can only hide in it for 10 minutes, and if I am blocked by someone outside, I don’t even have room to escape!
What's the point of delaying death by ten minutes...
"Wait a little longer." Zhang Wei glanced at the clock. "Wait until the last five seconds. I will open the door immediately and we will run to our respective dormitories. After we go in, lock the door first."
"If you get caught, just think of it as a cover-up..."
Shang Qianyu's face was pale, and he bit the flashlight harder, his voice was a little confused: "Didn't we have a full team of four at the beginning? Why did it become like this?"
When entering the dormitory building, Feng Luo disappeared.
During such a short period of time in the dormitory management office, Geng Fangyi also had an accident.
Now even the two people who were still holding together might have to escape separately!
An intact team was shattered into pieces within half an hour?
Sizzle…sizzle…
Just as the two were counting down nervously, a burst of electric sound suddenly came from their walkie-talkies!
Is this, the other group calling them?
Anyway, both of them are traitors and members of the same group, so there is basically no possibility of backstabbing. Shang Qianyu directly picked up the headset and pressed the answer button.
"This is Group 4! Repeat, this is Group 4!"
"Currently, our team has lost 2 members, 1 is missing, and the other is confirmed to be trapped in the infirmary. If other teams have any discoveries, please lend a hand! We will reward you!"
"We are currently doing errands and have obtained a key piece of information - the secret room has more than just the 3rd floor! It also has a hidden 4th floor!"
"The 4th floor is extremely dangerous. There is no safe area, but it contains key items and clues that allow us to enter the next stage of the chamber."
"There are two known ways to enter the 4th floor. One is to trigger some unknown danger in the secret room and enter the 4th floor at the cost of losing a life."
"Second, go to the 4th floor via the elevator."
"Elevators are extremely dangerous, but we haven't found a way to use them safely. We only know that elevators cannot be used more than once, so we must be careful!"
"Over, please ask Team 1 to pass the information to other teams!"
As the message was played, the lights in the room became redder and redder, and the words "10 minutes" on the whiteboard even began to seep red blood.
This was a warning to the two that they didn't have much time left to stay in the dormitory.
However, these few sentences from Team 4 gave a lot of information! First, they confirmed that there was a huge danger inside the elevator.
Secondly, the elevator cannot be used multiple times, otherwise it will cause danger.
"Ah, has Sister Feng Luo already lost her life?" Shang Qianyu couldn't help but glance at the clock and asked, "How can we save her?"
Simply erasing the name might not be enough to rescue Feng Luo.
Now that Geng Fangyi's whereabouts are unknown, we must find a way to rescue Feng Luo first.
Zhang Wei took a deep breath and said, "If you want to use the elevator, the faculty and staff ID card is definitely a necessary condition, but I don't think it's the only condition. There must be other unknown dangers in the elevator."
"To know what dangers are inside the elevator, we may need to find the map fragments and look at the back of the fragments to find out."
Shang Qianyu didn't dare to take her eyes off the clock for even a second. She asked again, "They said the 4th floor is very dangerous, but there is very important information... What should we do?"
"All of us are at the end of our strength now. There is no need to covet this opportunity. If we don't replenish our status, it will be easy for the whole team to be wiped out. Now we should find a way to rescue Feng Luo first, and then find Geng Fangyi."
As the two talked, time passed by every second.
Shang Qianyu's nervousness also reached its peak: "Time...time is almost up!"
"Open the door! Run towards your dormitory!"
Click! The moment the door was opened, the red light in the dormitory management room turned white again.
There was nothing outside the door.
There were no ghosts lurking around, and nothing else was seen.
If there hadn't been a turned-off flashlight on the ground, the two of them almost suspected that Geng Fangyi had never been to this place.
The two people who almost escaped were stunned for a moment. They never expected the situation outside to be like this.
"No, no one?"
"Then why was Geng Fangyi arrested?"
Zhang Wei didn't dare to stay near the dormitory management office for too long. He first walked into a dormitory, checked for safety, locked the door, and then sat down and carefully reviewed what had just happened.
"At what point was Geng Fangyi captured?"
Shang Qianyu tried to calm himself down: "It seems like, it seems like... when the light in the dormitory management office turned red?"
At that time, the light in the dormitory management office turned red, and Geng Fangyi screamed almost at the same time.
"That should be it!" Zhang Wei nodded. "Although this dormitory room can guarantee the safety of two people, the side effect is that it will kill the other people who were still in the corridor at the time!"
Shang Qianyu took out a torch and a walkie-talkie from his schoolbag, still feeling scared about what happened just now: "I said... there shouldn't be a plot like this where people are trapped in a safe house."
"This secret room is really full of traps... But the mechanism is reasonable. Otherwise, if a bunch of people line up at the door of the dormitory management room and take turns to use it, wouldn't it be like a bug?" Zhang Wei nodded, "I now even suspect that the dormitory management room itself may not be that safe. If it is used too many times, problems will arise..."
With the malicious intent of the production team, how could there be a safe zone where people can rest assured? Shang Qianyu rubbed his sore calves and said, "I'll summarize the information just now and send it to other groups."
Now at least we can be sure that the dormitory is relatively safe when the door is locked.
There will certainly be dangers and accidents, but they won’t be too big or too many. Even if the program crew is abnormal, they can’t really let the guests stay up all the time! After sharing the news with other groups, Zhang Wei rubbed his head and asked, “How do you think we should save Feng Luo?”
Shang Qianyu thought for a moment and said, "Shall we take the elevator to the fourth floor to find her?"
"We only have one faculty ID card now. We are not sure whether the person with the faculty ID card can take other people to the elevator, but I think it is highly unlikely." Zhang Wei shook his head. "I even suspect that the elevator has a maximum passenger limit. It's easy for us to go up to the fourth floor together, but when we go down together, an accident may happen and we will all die together."
"If all four members of the team were in danger, we might really be in danger of being eliminated."
Shang Qianyu made a bitter face: "Then how are we going to save Sister Feng Luo?"
"Just now in the dormitory management office, we have crossed out Feng Luo's name from Room 404. Now she has at least escaped part of the crisis. The only thing left is a chance to escape."
Shang Qianyu seemed to understand Zhang Wei's idea: "You mean, we should help Sister Feng Luo create this opportunity to escape?"
"That's right... I have an idea now. Come, let's move this small table together! Take the torch and faculty ID card with you and go to the elevator."
Shang Qianyu didn’t know what Zhang Wei was thinking, but he still walked forward quickly and acted according to Zhang Wei’s instructions.
Soon, the two of them came to the elevator door with these things.
Shang Qianyu looked around fearfully and asked in a low voice: "What are you going to do?"
Zhang Wei pressed the elevator call button. Ten seconds later, the elevator made a "ding" sound, and the automatic double doors slowly opened after a slight pause.
Several light bulbs inside the elevator were broken, and the only one that was still working was flickering, which was very scary.
"Press the elevator button and don't let the door close." As Zhang Wei said this, he dragged the small table into the elevator and let it lean diagonally against the door.
Then he pressed the ignition button on the prop torch, tied his faculty ID card to the torch, and pressed the number "4" in the elevator.
After doing all this, Zhang Wei carefully walked out of the elevator and used his hand to hold the torch at the top of the ramp to prevent it from rolling to the outside.
"No need to press it, let the elevator door close."
Shang Qianyu did as he was told, and a few seconds later, the elevator door began to close slowly.
At the moment when the elevator door was about to close, Zhang Wei pulled his hand out from inside the elevator, and the torch, which lost its support, immediately rolled down.
But before he could fall out of the elevator car, the door closed.
Zhang Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This way, when the elevator reaches the fourth floor and the door opens, the torch will roll out. There will be the sound of the elevator door opening, the light source, and the ID card. As long as Feng Luo can see it, he will know what to do..."
The flashlight in Feng Luo's hand must be out of battery now. A torch that can burn for 2 hours can not only show her the direction, but also help her calm down a little.
As long as she got the faculty ID card, she could enter the elevator safely and get out of the fourth floor! The elevator had never been used by anyone, and Feng Luo was the only user. As long as she had the ID card, she could avoid triggering the crisis mechanism to a large extent.
There was only one thing Feng Luo needed to do - to go over and check when the elevator made an arrival sound.
Shang Qianyu held the remaining power of the flashlight, stared at the elevator door, and sighed: "I hope it works."
Soon, the scene fell silent again.
The two have done everything they can, and now they can only pray that Feng Luo will not let them down.
“…”
After more than ten minutes of long agony, the two suddenly heard a slight friction sound from the elevator's mechanical operation.
Shang Qianyu's spirits were lifted: "Did you hear that? The elevator is working! Sister Feng Luo is coming!"
Zhang Wei looked very nervous. He took two steps back and made a gesture as if he was ready to run for his life at any time: "Don't be too happy too soon. Maybe it's not Feng Luo who came out of the elevator! If the situation is not right, we should immediately flee to the dormitory and lock the door!"
"Not really..." Shang Qianyu said subconsciously, and the elevator door suddenly made a "ding" sound! Here we come!
The two people waiting at the elevator entrance were already nervous!
The elevator door slowly opened.
What came into view was an unnameable creature with disheveled hair, a human head hanging from its mouth, and a bloody bed board on its back.
“Ahhh——” Shang Qianyu screamed, turned around and ran away.
What Zhang Wei said was actually right. A monster actually came down from the elevator!
I just don't know how poor Sister Feng Luo is doing now...
After all, they had delivered milk tea together, so Shang Qianyu still felt a little emotional when thinking about Feng Luo's current situation.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind the two people who were fleeing for their lives, with a hint of exasperation: "Wait! You two don't run, I'm Feng Luo!"
ah?!
Shang Qianyu paused, turned his head in surprise, and looked at the figure who was staggering out of the elevator.
"Feng, Sister Feng Luo?"
After confirming that the person coming out of the elevator was not a monster, the two walked up carefully.
Judging from the tear marks on her eyes and cheeks, she had obviously cried...
The bloody bed board behind him was obviously pulled down by brute force - at this time Feng Luo's hands were not able to move freely!
As for the head in her mouth...it had been thrown aside at this time.
Now Feng Luo exudes the feeling of a ferocious madwoman.
Is this... is this still the intellectual and elegant beauty star? !
Shang Qianyu and Zhang Wei looked at each other. When they thought that this scene would be recorded in its entirety and played outside, they suddenly felt so funny that they wanted to laugh.
It turns out that the big sister who couldn't even open a bottle cap could escape from a dangerous secret room with her hands tied and the bed on her back.
"What are you still looking at?" Feng Luo was almost crying with anger, "Come over and give me a hand!"
The two men hurried over, and while helping Feng Luo untie her, they asked, "Sister Feng Luo, what happened to you?"
Feng Luo sat on the ground and said angrily: "What else could I encounter? When I went up, I saw the fourth floor and thought of hiding in a dormitory, but... the result was..."
"Then I was tied up in the dormitory. There was an unknown creature wandering outside. About half an hour ago, it suddenly disappeared. I guess you guys did something down there..."
"Then I saw the torches you sent over... I was tied up at the time, so I could only use brute force to pull down the bed board and carry it down on my back. Otherwise, why do you think it took me so long?"
"When I entered the elevator, I was caught by the monster within two seconds..."
Shang Qianyu took a curious look at the head that had fallen to the side and asked, "Sister Feng Luo, what is this head?"
"It must be an important prop!" Feng Luo, who was finally able to move freely after being untied, felt like he was having a heart attack. "Otherwise, why would I try so hard to bite it off with my mouth!"
