Zhang Meng glanced at the ghost girl with her eyes tightly closed, then turned around and patted Professor Rong, who looked distraught. "Don't be sad. You've done your best in this matter. The mother and son will understand you."
Professor Rong sighed again and said with his head down, "I hope so. I just feel really sorry for the mother and son."
Soon, all ten people gathered in the lobby on the first floor.
Looking at this hellhole, some of the weaker ones were frightened and started shouting crazily, "What should we do now? How can we get back to reality? I don't want to stay in this hellhole anymore. I want to go back. I don't want to stay here any longer."
Zhang Meng looked at Gu Mingtai. She was even more anxious because she was afraid that these people would hear her. So she whispered beside him, "Gu Mingtai, do you know how to get back?"
Gu Mingtai shook his head, "I don't know, Master must have forgotten to tell us how to go!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly ignited everyone's hope of returning home, "I think I know how to leave this place."
When the young couple heard the voice, they looked at the owner of the voice at the same time. It turned out to be Professor Rong, whom they had finally found.
When the other nine people heard what he said, they all walked towards him and asked.
Professor Rong glanced at Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai as he spoke. "The female ghost I met before told me how to leave here. It seems we need to go to the rooftop. There is a door there. As long as we open it, we can leave here and return to reality."
Upon hearing this, the nine people immediately looked towards Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai, and simultaneously asked them, "Comrade Gu, Comrade Zhang, let's quickly go up to the top floor and find that door so we can go back."
Ever since meeting Professor Rong, the suspicion left by this person has never disappeared from Zhang Meng's heart.
"Professor Rong, is what you said true? You didn't lie to us, did you?" Zhang Meng squinted her eyes and stared at the expression on his face.
Professor Rong looked directly at Zhang Meng's gaze with a frank expression, "I can guarantee that this is true. I, Old Rong, have lived for most of my life and never tell a lie."
At this moment, some colleagues who had worked with Professor Rong also stood up and said to Zhang Meng, "Comrade Zhang, Professor Rong is the best person in our institute. No one in our institute has ever said that Professor Rong is a bad person, so you don't have to worry about what Professor Rong says."
"Yes, we all believe what Professor Rong said."
For a moment, the remaining nine people spoke well of Professor Rong.
Zhang Meng looked at the man beside her without saying a word.
Gu Mingtai, who had pursed his lips after reading their expressions, finally spoke up. "Since there's a door upstairs that we can go back to, let's go up and take a look."
When the other nine people heard this, they were immediately overjoyed.
In order to return to reality as soon as possible, the ten people didn't want to stay here for even a moment, and quickly went up to the roof together.
Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai, who stayed behind, glanced at the crowd walking up one after another. One of their faces was expressionless, while the other had a worried look.
"Aren't you suspicious of Professor Rong? Since he wants to go to the top floor so much, I guess there must be something he wants there." The couple whispered.
"Gu Mingtai, I don't think Professor Rong is a good person. We must be extra careful with him when we get up there."
Zhang Meng, who was walking behind, secretly pulled Gu Mingtai's clothes to remind him.
Gu Mingtai glanced at Professor Rong, who was surrounded by nine people, with a dark look in his eyes. The corner of his mouth raised slightly, and he turned around and patted Zhang Meng's shoulder gently, "I know, don't worry, no matter who wants to do evil, they can't escape your husband's sharp eyes."
Soon, a group of people went up to the roof.
Everyone searched around here and finally found a door.
However, the door was clearly not locked, but even if the nine of them worked together, they couldn't open it at all.
"It's strange, how can this door be opened? Even with so many of us, we can't open it. Could it be that this is not a door?" someone shouted angrily while hitting the door.
Professor Rong came up at this time and shouted, "All of you move aside and let me take a good look at this door. Maybe an old man like me can find a way to open it."
When the nine people near the door heard his words, hope suddenly grew in their hearts, and they quickly made way for Professor Rong to walk to the door.
Professor Rong walked around the door in a formal manner, then suddenly stopped and shouted to the nine people behind him with a look of surprise, "Come here and take a look! There's a picture on the wall. Is it related to this door?"
When the nine people heard his words, they all ran over.
Zhang Meng, who had been standing behind them, rolled her eyes and gently pulled the man standing motionless beside her, "Gu Mingtai, let's go over and see what that picture means."
Gu Mingtai glanced ahead and nodded slightly.
When Zhang Meng saw his action, she immediately pulled his hand and squeezed in between the ten people.
Before the couple could even look at it, they heard Professor Rong, who was standing in front of the mural, explaining the meaning of the mural to the nine people.
"Based on my years of experience studying all kinds of strange people and things, this painting really is telling us how to open this door."
"Professor Rong, you're still the best. Tell us how to open this door quickly. I don't want to stay in this hellhole any longer. I want to return to reality."
