"Xiao Lin?"
After entering the corridor, Wang Xiaoming's face blanched. He looked around him like he still could not believe that he had already arrived at the staff dormitory.
"It's too dangerous for you to guard the door alone. I'm here to look for the key, and it has nothing to do with you. How can I let you face the danger alone?" Chen Ge acted like he was doing this for his own good. He gripped Wang Xiaoming's arm tightly, and no matter how hard the man tried to shake him, he would not let go.
"I …"
"Shush, the door in front doesn't seem to be closed properly." Chen Ge leaned against the wall. When he reached the middle of the corridor, he noticed that the door to one of the rooms was ajar. The lights in the room were still on, and a faint white light could be seen.
Wang Xiaoming was afraid that he would attract the attention of the people inside the room, so he stopped resisting and allowed Chen Ge to pull him to the side of the door.
"What are you doing?" Wang Xiaoming saw Chen Ge leaning against the door to look at them, and he felt like his scalp was going to explode. The man before him did not seem to know the meaning of fear, and he kept leading him on the edge of danger.
"Shush, the lights in the room are on. I think I can see a shadow on the wall. There's someone in the room." Chen Ge waved at Wang Xiaoming, and the two of them tiptoed past the door.
Being pulled by Chen Ge, Wang Xiaoming stopped resisting like he had accepted his fate.
The maintenance room was at the end of the corridor, and the two of them searched for a long time before they found it.
"The door is locked?"
Chen Ge tried to move the doorknob, but the door refused to budge.
"Be gentler! Don't use so much force! "Wang Xiaoming shrunk his neck, and his expression was nervous.
"The door is locked. Do you know who has the key?" The bad news came one after another, and Chen Ge was trying to come up with a solution.
"It should be with the repairman, but the repairman has already left work!" Wang Xiaoming pulled on Chen Ge's sleeve lightly. "How about we leave this place first? Come, let's go to the cafeteria. I'll treat you to something good. I guarantee you'll want to eat more in the future."
"Don't talk. Let me be quiet for a while." Chen Ge's eyes scanned the corridors and the rooms. "When a person hears a strange noise, their brain needs to think for one to two seconds before they can react, and it will take several seconds for them to reach the corridor from their respective positions. In other words, if I break down the door, I will need to break down the door, collect the tools, and escape the scene within half a minute. Time is too tight."
"Xiao Lin? What did you just say? Smash the door? "
This building only has one entrance and one staircase, and the location of the staircase is coincidentally at the exit. Even if I manage to find the tools, there is no place for me to hide. Chen Ge very rationally gave up on the idea of breaking down the door. "The maintenance room is on the first floor. I already know the location of this room. Compared to breaking down the door, it's safer to enter through the window."
Without anything to defend himself with, Chen Ge felt uneasy. In fact, he had another idea.
The nails in Room 413 had pinned the shadow to the wall. Chen Ge planned to make a deal with the shadow. He would pull out all the nails from the wall to help the shadow escape, and in return, the shadow had to promise him one thing.
Ideally, this would be beneficial to both parties, but in reality, it was very difficult. He had to be careful with every step, and he had to be careful of the shadow.
Actually, Chen Ge did not want to do that, but unfortunately, he did not have much of a choice. This world behind the door did not give him a chance to survive, and he was trying his best to create a chance for himself.
Suddenly, a sharp pain came from his lower abdomen like he had been stung by a bee.
Chen Ge pulled back his shirt, and a short nail fell to the ground.
"This time, the wound is deeper, but why isn't it bleeding?" If a normal person was stabbed by a nail like that, they would definitely bleed with their bare hands, but no matter how hard Chen Ge tried, the wound would not bleed.
The sound of the nail falling was not loud, but the corridor was so quiet that both Chen Ge and Wang Xiaoming heard it loud and clear.
"What are you doing?" Wang Xiaoming was spooked.
"It's nothing." Chen Ge picked up the nail. When he lowered his head, the entrance of the building suddenly lit up. Someone had entered the staff dormitory with a flashlight!
"We've been discovered!" Wang Xiaoming clamped his hand over his mouth, and his body leaned against the wall. "It was the sound of the nail that attracted him here!"
"This corridor is about thirty meters long. Do you think he can hear the sound of the nail falling on the ground?" Chen Ge still maintained his rationality. He was very calm. "That person just happened to appear. Trust me!"
"Then, what do we do now? He looks like he's coming! "
"Stand close to the wall. He's holding the flashlight, and his eyes are not used to the dark. As long as we hide in the shadows and don't get hit by the flashlight, we won't be discovered." Chen Ge was also taking a gamble. A normal person would aim their flashlight at the road in front of them; they would not aim it far away for no reason.
"What if we get hit by the flashlight?" Wang Xiaoming sucked in a cold breath, and his eyes were filled with fear.
"I repeat, he's holding the flashlight, and his eyes are not used to the dark. If we get hit by the flashlight, the first thing we need to do is rush over to snatch the flashlight away and then escape through the exit."
"What kind of solution is that?"
"Shut up. Stand at the corner and don't move. Be prepared to snatch it." Chen Ge narrowed his eyes and used the backpack to block his face.
In the dark corridor, the light swayed left and right. It slowly approached, and both Chen Ge and Wang Xiaoming held their breaths.
After a few painful seconds, the light stopped at one of the rooms at the entrance of the corridor.
The door was pushed open, and the light soon disappeared.
"He's entered the room!" Wang Xiaoming's voice was shaking with excitement.
"Stop wasting time, let's go!" Chen Ge had a feeling that things were not that simple. The person's sudden appearance was definitely not due to the sound of the nail falling. Could this be a coincidence? Wait, did I overlook something very important? "
Moving forward, Chen Ge thought back to everything that had happened since he entered the door.
The first time I was in danger was in Room 413. With Wang Xiaoming's fear of the dormitory manager and the teacher, running into them in the middle of the night will definitely lead to something bad.
Chen Ge summarized his two encounters, and his brows slowly creased. It appears like whenever I stay at a certain place for too long, something bad will happen.
He could not confirm his speculation, but he knew that the situation was not looking good. The difficulty of this school had already surpassed the nightmare mission given by the black phone.
I've been too passive. What should I do to gain the upper hand? The black phone will not give me a mission that will only lead me to certain death, so where is the chance of survival for this mission?
Chen Ge was trying his best to think when the door that was not far from him suddenly opened again!
"The light disappeared at the door of this room! Is the person waiting for me?
With nowhere to run, Chen Ge and Wang Xiaoming happened to be in the middle of the corridor.
