"Self-help".
Jiang Chi quickly analyzed, "The things here are no different from those in the exhibition hall. People outside can't see us, and we can't get out either. This tells us that this is an alternate dimension."
"An alternate dimension?" Zhou Junjie was full of questions. "You don't believe in ghosts, how do you know so much?"
Jiang Chi looked at him as if he were an idiot. "You underestimate science. In science, an alternate dimension is defined as a four-dimensional space that exists independently of the real world..."
"Stop, stop, stop." Zhou Junjie had a headache. "Don't talk about technical stuff, I'm a terrible student, I don't understand. Just tell me how to do it?"
Jiang Chi took out a large jar from his bag, inside which was a silvery-white object that looked quite pretty and sparkled.
Zhou Junjie's eyes widened. "Is this a secret weapon?"
Jiang Chi uttered a single word, "Sodium."
"What do you mean 'that' and 'this'? I'm asking you, what kind of weapon is this?" Zhou Junjie stared blankly at the jar.
Jiang Chi didn't want to explain such a simple question.
Xia Xiangjun spoke up weakly, "Senior Zhou, this is a sodium block. We learned about it in chemistry class. It contains hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron... sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, and phosphorus."
"Sodium is an active metal that reacts violently with water to produce sodium hydroxide, releasing a large amount of heat that causes the water to vaporize rapidly and explode."
Xia Xiangjun suddenly understood, "Senior Jiang wants to use the explosion created by the sodium block and water to repel the monster."
Jiang Chi nodded slightly; at least there was a smart person among them.
He explained, "An explosion may not necessarily repel the monster, but the sound of an explosion is very loud, and people outside might notice this place."
The best solution is to hurt the monster if possible, but otherwise, just wait for someone to come to your rescue.
Jiang Chi believed that with his elder brother's intelligence, he would definitely be able to discover the anomaly here.
Zhou Junjie was forced to attend a chemistry class, and after three minutes, he finally understood it.
Sodium plus water equals an explosion.
This thing is so dangerous, where did Jiang Chi get it?
On second thought, it makes perfect sense for chemistry students to carry sodium blocks with them.
Zhou Junjie raised the crucial question, "Where is the water?"
Jiang Chi laughed angrily, "Won't you get water by taking a piss?"
"That makes sense, good idea." Zhou Junjie rubbed his stomach. "I was just about to pee, is one pee enough? If not, two?"
Xia Xiangjun covered her face in embarrassment; Senior Zhou was as simple-minded as ever.
Jiang Chi rolled his eyes. Their thought processes were completely different; it was really hard to communicate.
If he didn't need Zhou Junjie's help, he wouldn't have even glanced at this fool.
Jiang Chi took a deep breath. "I've observed the layout of the area. There's a toilet about 50 meters to the left after you go out from here."
Zhou Junjie was bewildered. "In movies, toilets are where the most supernatural events happen. You want to die even faster? What are you going to the toilet for?"
Xia Xiangjun tugged at his sleeve, "There's water in the toilet..."
"Oh, right, right, right!" Zhou Junjie slapped his forehead. "You're planning to blow up the toilet!!"
Jiang Chi remained calm. "This is all I have right now. The sodium block explodes instantly when thrown into the toilet. The loud noise will reverberate throughout the entire space, and people outside will notice the strangeness here."
"If we can catch the monster, it would be better to get out of here."
Zhou Junjie's lips twitched. "Blowing up the toilet, good idea."
No wonder he's known as the infamous troublemaker; what normal person would think of blowing up a toilet?
Xia Xiangjun had a question: "What if the monster catches us before we even get to the toilet?"
Jiang Chi calmly replied, "I've thought about this. The monster isn't fast. We can easily slip in right under its nose and throw the sodium block into the toilet."
Xia Xiangjun mumbled, "It means you go and distract the monster, and we'll throw the sodium blocks at the right moment."
Jiang Chi smiled, "That's right."
Zhou Junjie swallowed hard. "No, I'm really going!"
He was utterly impressed; this guy was truly awesome!
The prayer beads are broken, yet you still dare to face the monster? You're truly fearless!
A deep gaze fell on the yellow talisman in his hand. Zhou Junjie gripped the talisman tightly. "This is my lifeline. I won't give it to you."
Jiang Chi looked away. "What's the use of this? How many attacks can it withstand?"
Zhou Junjie shook his head, "I don't know..."
Jiang Chi frowned. "For now, consider it as withstanding one attack. One is enough."
Thump thump thump, thump thump thump!
A familiar knocking sounded, and Zhou Junjie trembled. "It's here again!!"
Seeing his cowardly behavior, Jiang Chi handed the sodium block to Xia Xiangjun, saying, "I'll go distract the monster. See you in the restroom."
Xia Xiangjun was extremely nervous, "Senior Jiang..."
Jiang Chi stared at the constantly shaking door. "Hurry up! If the monster traps us in this room, we're doomed!"
He kicked the door open, the knocking stopped abruptly, and the surroundings were completely silent, with darkness hanging over him like drops of ink.
"They're gone."
Jiang Chi went out first.
Thump thump thump—!
The knocking sounded again; something was chasing him.
Xia Xiangjun suppressed her fear and said, "Senior Zhou, hurry, let's hurry."
Jiang Chi sacrificed himself for others, and the monsters were all lured away by him. As a man, one cannot be a coward.
Zhou Junjie grabbed Xia Xiangjun with one hand and raised the yellow talisman with the other, saying, "Let's go, let's go, don't be afraid."
He strode forward, and Xia Xiangjun weakly said, "Senior Zhou, this way is wrong."
Zhou Junjie: "..."
The two successfully turned the corner, and the toilet was just twenty meters ahead.
Almost there, almost there.
Thump thump thump!!
A hoarse, unpleasant voice sounded from behind, "Don't go, don't leave..."
"Holy crap!!" Zhou Junjie grabbed Xia Xiangjun and ran forward desperately. "What happened to Jiang Chi? He's been killed!!"
He insisted on showing off, and now he's doomed; he's headed straight for the underworld.
Someone pushed him from behind, and Zhou Junjie turned around and exclaimed, "Jiang Chi! Holy crap, big brother, you're still alive!"
"You all need to leave quickly." Jiang Chi stood in the middle, showing no fear on his face.
Zhou Junjie took off running.
As soon as he moved, the monster moved too, its hoarse voice now tinged with anxiety.
"Don't go! You're not allowed to leave!!"
The monster bypassed Jiang Chi and caught up with Zhou Junjie and Xia Xiangjun, shouting, "Don't go! Don't leave!!"
Jiang Chi was stunned for a moment, not expecting this situation.
Why did the monster ignore him and chase after the other two?
