Chapter 20 Red Brick Factory (19) - Skill Shortcomings
Ning Shu's words left Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi speechless.
The places Ning Shu mentioned were all quite challenging, ranging from impossibly high ceilings to unfathomably deep pools fraught with hidden dangers.
These two places don't look like "doors" at all. Aren't they looking for an exit? How did this turn into Alice in Wonderland?
If Ning Shu knew what they were thinking, she probably wouldn't be able to bring herself to tell them what they might face here.
Wu Yi: "Ning Shu, the problem with the pool is whether you can swim or not, but how can you reach that glass?"
Ning Shu: "Isn't Cheng Chuan able to 'fly'? Let him smash the glass and then take the two of us out."
Cheng Chuan: "...If we still had any abilities left, we wouldn't have been caught and hung upside down on a meat grinder."
Ning Shu: !
"So much time has passed, and your abilities still haven't recovered?" That doesn't make sense.
After receiving Cheng Chuan's affirmative answer, she... became withdrawn.
Seriously? Do I really have to perform a distorted limb and facial deformity in front of them?
"...I'll take care of that."
Ning Shu said weakly, "Forget it, I have to rub the poop anyway, what's the big deal about showing them my twisted limbs?"
Wu Yi: "Actually, I think we should ignore the glass for now and go down into the pool to take a look."
"don't want!"
"Wait."
This strange tacit understanding left Ning Shu puzzled as she looked at Cheng Chuan.
She refused because she knew what was down there, so why did Cheng Chuan do that?
She remembered that Cheng Chuan could swim, and since she, being only half-baked, hadn't fallen in, it shouldn't be a big problem for Cheng Chuan.
So what are his concerns?
Cheng Chuan: "I think the pool is more dangerous than the glass. Let's see what we find on the other side of the glass first."
He couldn't very well tell them that he had a phobia of places like this because his ex-girlfriend broke up with him by the pool, could he? Didn't he have any pride?
"I think he's right."
Ning Shu agreed with Cheng Chuan's statement; she really didn't want to go into that corpse pool again unless absolutely necessary.
Wu Yi felt that the choices these two made were somewhat puzzling. Why not take the easy path instead of challenging the difficult one? He didn't understand, but he expressed his comprehension.
"Ahem, well, I'll go upstairs and take a look first."
When there is danger, Ning Shu feels that it doesn't matter what happens, after all, her life is more important. When there is no danger, she still wants to try her best to maintain a ladylike image.
Unfortunately, fate didn't give her the chance.
Wu Yi: "Holy crap!"
Cheng Chuan: "..."
They watched as Ning Shu climbed up the pillar like a gecko, and when he reached the ceiling, he hung upside down on it effortlessly, walking as if on flat ground.
Ning Shu felt incredibly sad when she saw them looking up at her from the ground as if she were a monkey.
Her current perspective is like looking down from a high place; I'd guess her head is probably turned 180 degrees from her body. I wonder if this scared them.
"Did I scare you? There might be something wrong with my head."
Ning Shu couldn't help but say, "You'll get used to it."
Wu Yi asked, puzzled, "I just think you're really good, but what's wrong with your head? Are you feeling unwell?"
Now it was Ning Shu's turn to be puzzled: "Isn't my head scary like this? I don't feel uncomfortable at all."
Cheng Chuan: "What's wrong with your head? You look perfectly normal to us."
Normal? Ning Shu was puzzled. Right, she could touch it with her hand. Anyway, she wasn't going to fall. Why would she be so silly? So she raised one hand to touch her head.
Huh? It's a perfectly normal arrangement, hahaha, she couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
It turns out that the problem with her perspective wasn't the position of her head, but rather that her line of sight could adjust automatically.
When she looks down, it's the same perspective as someone standing on a high place looking down.
When she was hanging upside down from the ceiling and looking towards the ceiling, it was the same perspective she had when crawling on the floor and looking at the floor.
This is absolutely amazing!
Suddenly filled with confidence, Ning Shu quickly climbed to the top of the glass roof, lay down on it, and looked out. The sunlight was dazzling.
I didn't see anything but blue sky and white clouds. Well, normal people and cars can't fly in the sky, can they?
She raised her fist and smashed it against the glass. With a "bang," the glass shook, but didn't shatter.
The worst thing is when the air suddenly goes quiet~
The background music suddenly popped into the minds of the three of them.
Awkward, extremely awkward.
Ning Shu was frustrated. Wasn't this the right place?
Cheng Chuan: "If there are sharp objects like high heels, can we smash them?"
Ning Shu was speechless. "Brother, do I look like someone who would wear high heels?"
I usually wear the same tracksuit everywhere, and when I go to work, I wear a shirt and flat shoes at most, which is already the greatest respect I can show to my job.
Should we really go and look in that pool?
Wu Yi: "Didn't you see hooks hanging on that conveyor belt that was hanging upside down just now? If we could take those hooks off, their pointed ends would be more useful than the pointed ends of high heels, right?"
These words were like a wake-up call; yes, that hook can indeed be used.
Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi returned to the space they had just been in. They spent a long time rummaging around on the conveyor belt, only to find that they couldn't remove the hook.
Later, Cheng Chuan found the same hook in the pile of debris on the ground. It was rusty, but still usable.
Ning Shu took the rusty hook, aimed the pointed end at a corner of the glass, and smashed it down hard.
With a crisp sound, the glass shattered.
The three were overjoyed. Ning Shu first checked the exit and found no danger.
Use your clothes to protect your fists, and widen the area of the shattered glass opening to the width of a person's shoulder; that should be enough to get out.
Ning Shu looked down: "I can get out of this width, but what about you? Can you climb up?"
Wu Yi felt a lump in his throat: "What are you talking about? Don't you know what's going on between us? Why don't you come down and carry us up?"
Ning Shu: "..."
Do you think I'm Iron Man?
Although Ning Shu thought it was unlikely, she felt it was worth a try.
If she were capable of carrying a 1.9-meter-tall boy, wouldn't she be invincible?
She first clung to the wall like a gecko, and then let Wu Yi, who had made the suggestion, go first.
Ning Shu's height is roughly 1.6 meters, and when covered by Wu Yi's 1.9-meter height, Cheng Chuan couldn't see Ning Shu at all.
The key point is that Wu Yi's hands were wrapped around Ning Shu's neck, and just as his legs left the ground and he tried to put them on Ning Shu's waist, Ning Shu couldn't support his weight, and the two of them fell off the wall to the ground.
Attempt failed.
She realized that her ability to "fly over walls" was limited to herself and could not be taken outside; she remembered that.
Ning Shu was light in weight and his martial arts skills weren't hurt, but he was still heartbroken because it meant he might not be able to get out. The tough guy shed tears.
Seeing that the other two people didn't pay any attention to his reaction, he was even more upset. Of course, who would care about the third wheel's thoughts?
Cheng Chuan looked at the two of them with an expression that said, "I knew this would happen," and reached out to help Ning Shu up.
