"Xiao Lin?!"
After entering the corridor, Wang Xiaoming's face turned pale. He looked around him, as if he still couldn't believe that he had run into the faculty and staff dormitory building.
"It's too dangerous for you to guard the door alone. My search for the key has nothing to do with you, so how can I let you bear the danger alone?" Chen Ge looked as if he was doing this for your own good. He held Wang Xiaoming's arm tightly and refused to let go no matter how the other party shook it.
"I……"
"Keep your voice down, the door in front seems not to be closed tightly." Chen Ge leaned against the wall and walked to the middle of the corridor. He found that the door of a room was ajar. The light in the room was still on, and a faint white light could be vaguely seen.
Wang Xiaoming was also afraid that the noise he made would attract the attention of the people in the house, so he stopped resisting and let Chen Ge drag him to stop beside the door.
"What are you going to do?" Wang Xiaoming felt like his scalp was about to explode when he saw Chen Ge lying by the door and peeking. This guy in front of him seemed to have no idea what fear was, and was constantly taking him to the brink of danger.
"Shh, the light is on in the room. I seem to see a shadow on the wall. There is someone in the room." Chen Ge waved at Wang Xiaoming, and the two of them tiptoed past the door.
Being dragged by Chen Ge, Wang Xiaoming no longer resisted, as if he had accepted his fate.
The repair room was at the end of the corridor, and it took the two of them a long time to find it.
"Is the door locked?"
Chen Ge tried to move the door handle, but couldn't open it.
"Be gentle! Don't use so much force!" Wang Xiaoming shrank his neck, looking nervous.
"The door is locked. Do you know who has the key?" Bad news came one after another, and Chen Ge was trying to remedy the situation.
"It should be the repairman. The key is that the repairman has already left work!" Wang Xiaoming gently pulled Chen Ge's sleeve: "Why don't we leave here first and go to the cafeteria. I'll treat you to delicious food. I guarantee you'll want to eat more after you eat."
"Don't talk. Let me be quiet for a while." Chen Ge's eyes swept across the corridor and the rooms. "When people hear unusual noises, their brains need to think for about one or two seconds before reacting. It also takes a few seconds for them to get to the corridor from their respective positions. That means if I break down the door, I have to complete the three steps of breaking the door, collecting tools, and fleeing the scene within half a minute. The time is too tight."
"Xiao Lin? What did you just say? Smashing the door?"
"This building has only one entrance and one staircase, and the staircase happens to be at the exit. Even if I successfully find the tools, there is no place to hide." Chen Ge rationally gave up the idea of breaking down the door: "The repair room is on the first floor. I already know the location of this room. It is safer to enter through the window than to break in."
Chen Ge felt uneasy without any protection, and he actually had another idea.
The nails in dormitory 413 nailed the figures to the wall. Chen Ge was ready to make a deal with the figures. He would pull out all the nails on the wall to help the figures escape, and the figures would need to promise him one thing.
Ideally, this would benefit both parties, but in practice it is very difficult to implement. Every step needs to be done with caution, and one must also be on guard against the possibility of someone abandoning the donkey after it has served its purpose.
Chen Ge actually didn't want to do this, but unfortunately he didn't have many choices now. The world behind the door didn't give him any chance to survive. He was trying his best to create opportunities for himself.
There was a sudden sharp pain in my lower abdomen, as if I had been stung by a bee.
Chen Ge opened his clothes and a short nail fell to the ground.
"The wound is deeper this time, but why isn't there any bleeding?" If a normal person was pierced by a nail like this, they would definitely bleed if they squeezed the wound with their hands, but no matter what Chen Ge did, the blood wouldn't come out.
The sound of the nail hitting the ground was not loud, but the corridor was so quiet that both Chen Ge and Wang Xiaoming heard it clearly.
"What are you doing?" Wang Xiaoming was startled.
"It's okay." Chen Ge picked up the nail. When he lowered his head, the lights at the entrance of the building suddenly came on, and someone entered the faculty and staff dormitory building with a flashlight!
"We've been discovered!" Wang Xiaoming covered his mouth and pressed his body against the wall: "It was the sound of the nails that attracted him here!"
"This corridor is 20 to 30 meters long. Do you think he can hear the sound of the nails hitting the ground?" Chen Ge remained rational and calm. "That person just happened to appear. Believe me!"
"So what do we do now? He looks like he's coming over here!"
"Stand against the wall. He is holding a flashlight and his eyes are not used to the darkness. As long as the two of us hide in the shadows and are not illuminated by the flashlight, we will not be discovered." Chen Ge was also taking a gamble. Normal people would use flashlights to illuminate the road in front of them and would not illuminate the distance for no reason.
"What if we are illuminated by the flashlight?" Wang Xiaoming took a deep breath, his eyes full of fear.
"I repeat, he is holding a flashlight, and our eyes are not used to the darkness. If he shines his light on us, the first thing we should do is rush over to grab the flashlight, and then escape through the exit."
"What's your solution?"
"Shut up, stand in the corner and don't move. Be prepared to snatch." Chen Ge narrowed his eyes and covered his face with his backpack.
In the dark corridor, the light swayed from side to side and slowly approached. Chen Ge and Wang Xiaoming both held their breath.
After a few unbearable seconds, the light stopped at a room at the entrance of the corridor.
The door was pushed open and the light quickly disappeared.
"He entered that room!" Wang Xiaoming's voice was trembling with excitement after escaping from a desperate situation.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go!" Chen Ge felt that things were not that simple: "The other party's sudden appearance was definitely not attracted by the sound of nails falling. Is it just a coincidence? No, did I overlook something very important?"
Walking quickly forward, Chen Ge recalled everything that happened after he entered the world behind the door.
"The first time I encountered life-threatening situations was in Dormitory 413. Given Wang Xiaoming's fear of teachers and dormitory administrators, if he encountered them in the dark, something bad would definitely happen."
Chen Ge summarized his two experiences, and his brows gradually frowned: "It seems that whenever I stay in a certain place for too long, bad things will happen."
He couldn't be sure of his guess, he only knew that the situation was not optimistic. The difficulty of this school had exceeded the nightmare-level task on the black phone.
"I'm too passive. What can I do to gain some initiative? The black phone won't issue missions that will lead to certain death. So where is the glimmer of hope for this mission?"
Chen Ge was racking his brains to think, when the door of a room not far from him in the corridor suddenly opened again!
"The light just disappeared at the door of this room! Is that guy waiting for me?"
With no way to escape, Chen Ge and Wang Xiaoming ran to the middle of the corridor.
