Chapter 55

Hongbai saw a snow-white arm stretched out from the gap under the sofa out of the corner of his eye. He was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while. Seeing that they didn't say anything, the middle-aged woman turned around and left, closing the door with a bang.

Hongbai rushed over and shouted, "Hey! Explain yourself!"

Huang Bai also knocked on the door and shouted to the middle-aged woman outside: "What do you mean by walk out? How do you mean walk out? Where are you going?"

The middle-aged woman's voice came vaguely from outside the door, and she replied, "Go out through this corridor, if you can still get out."

After she said this, even the footsteps outside faded away, as if the middle-aged woman would never come back to see them again.

Everyone looked at each other, and they all felt that this matter was a bit difficult to handle.

Huang Bai walked back to the sofa in a daze and sat down. He suddenly shuddered, as if he was hit by something hard. He stood up, lowered his head to check the situation in confusion, touched the sofa cushion, and suddenly lifted up the thing. He seemed to have not expected that this thing could be lifted up so easily. He was stunned for a moment, and then he saw a corpse curled up underneath.

The corpse, with its eyes open, was stiff and straight, and then bent like a mosquito coil. It looked extremely miserable. There were bloodstains on the body, and the clothes were tattered, as if it had been bitten by something. It was not known whether it was a rat, but Huang Bai could not help but think of the existence of rats in this cafeteria.

Hongbai came over to see that the body was lying face up with eyes open. He was shocked and looked at Huangbai in surprise: "You have become braver? That's amazing. Maybe it will be helpful later."

Huang Bai whispered, "Originally, I wouldn't be a drag here."

If he could go home, he wouldn't be here.

That's another matter.

Hong Bai didn't discuss this with him. She looked carefully at the corpse in the sofa and found that the corpse took up all the space under the sofa cushion. There was no excess part. She couldn't help but frown. At the same time, she smelled a foul odor. The odor almost made her vomit. She quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from vomiting.

At this time, Hongbai saw the corpse giving her a subtle and terrifying smile and blinking its eyes.

Hongbai almost screamed, but she staggered back half a step, realizing that this was not going to work. She took a deep breath, trying to adjust her emotions and physical condition, but was caught off guard by the stench of the corpse again and fell backwards. She had to continue covering her mouth and nose, frowning, squinting her eyes, and stepping back. She gulped, but fortunately she didn't vomit.

However, she had never eaten the food here before, so even if she vomited, she would probably just vomit out the water she had just drunk.

Water is a colorless and transparent liquid. It is normal before you drink it. After you drink it and then spit it out, it just smells a little bit. It’s nothing. It’s better than a pile of garbage.

She murmured, "Those people are so abominable. I wonder when they will die?"

Huang Bai and Lan Bai both stared at her. Zhong Ren asked, "What did you just say?"

Hongbai came to his senses and found that everyone was looking at him. He smiled awkwardly and said, "What? Is there something wrong?"

Jongin said, "Don't you remember what you just said?"

Hongbai thought for a moment and said, "No."

She frowned in confusion and asked, "Did I say something I shouldn't have said?"

Hongbai smiled and tried to dodge the topic: "Even if I said it, you don't have to look at me like that. We are already having a hard time here, so why not try to escape as soon as possible."

Huang Bai heard this and nodded in agreement: "Yes, we should find a way to leave here as soon as possible."

Lan Bai asked: "Then how do we leave?"

Huang Bai sighed.

Zhong Ren said, "Didn't the middle-aged woman tell us a solution before?"

Huang Bai whispered, "But can we really trust her? She seems to hate us and wants to kill us. How can we believe her? I feel like if we believe her, we'll all be doomed soon."

Jongin asked, "If we stay here, won't we be doomed?"

Lan Bai said: "I'm afraid it won't be that good."

Jongin nodded.

The loudspeaker in the room next to me suddenly sounded: "Warning, warning, please leave the room within five minutes. After five minutes, the room will be completely closed and locked. Poison gas warning, poison gas warning!"

Everyone was suddenly startled, looked around, then looked at the loudspeaker, became a little nervous, and involuntarily huddled together to form a circle.

Jongin was on the edge, with Blue and White in the center, Red and White and Yellow and White on either side of him. They wanted to grab his hands and arms on the left and right to ensure their own safety, but they were not yet insane or mentally ill, so they did not do that. They knew that if they really grabbed Blue and White tightly, if something really happened, they would all die together.

They are not that stupid.

But I am still very scared, and fear cannot be relieved by getting close to people.

Hongbai glanced at Jongin in panic, and originally wanted to remind him to stay closer so that he wouldn't be left alone and get lost when he ran away. However, when she saw Jongin's face full of smiling eyes and short red octopus tentacles, she shuddered violently and could no longer bear it, and screamed: "Ahhhh - what is this? What are you? What on earth are you!"

Everyone was startled by her and looked at her and asked, "What's wrong? What happened? Are you okay?"

Hongbai hid behind the sofa trembling, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. In a very awkward and difficult posture, gritting his teeth, with red eyes and red face, with an indescribable look of righteous indignation, he shouted emotionally: "I saw it! I saw it clearly! Jongin, Jongin, his face is weird, full of eyes, he is not a human at all, he is different from us!"

She murmured, "Maybe from the beginning he was a fake to trick us, team up with us, go to the cafeteria with us, get trapped with us, talk to us, give us clues and advice, so as to gain our trust. We must not believe him! Absolutely not! If we want to survive, if we want to leave here..."

Hongbai's voice was not loud, but the room was not big either. Huang Bai was feeling nervous at the moment, and when he heard Hong speaking in an unstable and incoherent manner about the words he cared about, he could not help but stay away from Zhong Ren. He felt like he was about to explode too, so he endured it with red eyes and gritted teeth.

Hongbai didn't know about Huangbai's situation. He came out of his own thoughts, looked up at Lanbai and asked, "Don't you feel something is wrong? He is the one who found the clues every time. If he hadn't said he wanted to come in, we wouldn't be here at all. If he hadn't been standing at the door, we wouldn't have thought he was a visitor. He wasn't in the same group as us. He couldn't be a visitor! We can't trust him."

Lan Bai glanced at Jongin, but didn't notice any changes on his face, nor did she notice anything wrong with Jongin's words or behavior. After listening to Hong Bai's words, she sighed helplessly and said, "But, did you forget? You found a gun, and I found other papers with words on them. He wasn't the only one who found things, we all found them.

Although he found a lot of things, didn't he give them to us when we asked him for them? He was willing to share the information he found and to hand over the things he found to us for safekeeping. Doesn't this prove that he had no bad intentions? "

Hongbai nodded doubtfully, then quickly shook his head: "I don't know! No, it's definitely not like that..."

She frowned, suddenly feeling uncertain about her guess. She tried to look at Jongin's face and found that he had returned to normal. She hesitated, suspecting that she was hallucinating, but she had yelled so loudly before, and now she stood up and wanted to pretend nothing happened, which seemed a bit too tempting.

Kohaku lowered his head, trying to hide his emotions and expression.

Lan Bai had already noticed that she was wavering, and he gently coaxed her: "Stand up first. There's no one there, so it's probably not safe. We don't know what will happen to the body in the sofa. We need to leave this room as soon as possible. Don't be afraid—"

Hongbai subconsciously retorted: "I'm not afraid!"

Everyone was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Lan Bai said: "Yes, you are not afraid."

Jongin nodded in agreement, "Neither do we. Please get up."

After hearing Jongin's words, Hongbai felt as if she had been pardoned. She breathed a sigh of relief and stood up slowly. Suddenly, she was a head taller than before. It seemed that hiding behind the sofa before was really embarrassing for her.

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere became a little more relaxed, but the gas crisis had not yet occurred, and no one dared to let their guard down for fear of dying along the way.

Hongbai wanted to atone for his crime, so he volunteered to rush to the door and tried to open it. It felt like the door was locked from the outside, so he pulled it twice, but it didn't open. Hongbai tried to use the lock, and it made a few clicking sounds, but it didn't open. Hongbai got a little angry, and kicked the door, causing it to shake. Everyone heard the sound of the iron chain outside the door being moved.

Their faces changed suddenly.

Lan Bai hurried over and looked out through the crack of the open door. They found that the door was locked with an iron chain. No wonder they couldn't open it for a while.

Huang Bai was so angry that he cursed: "Damn old woman! If it weren't for her, how could we have ended up like this? What hatred do we have with her that makes her hate us so much and torture us like this? And she even locked us in the gas chamber and locked us with this thing?"
