Chapter 16: Advancing and Retreating Together

Dong Xie only felt his brain go blank at this moment, and immediately afterward, he quickly raised his head. At this moment, his first reaction was to immediately grab Dong Ning's hand and subsequently pull her away from that hole! Seeing this reaction of Dong Evil, Zhao Long hurriedly got down to the ground to look at that hole! "Brother …… you, what did you just see?" Dong Ning immediately pulled Dong Xie and asked, "Are you …… you alright?" Dong Ning looked at Dong Evil's terrified eyes, and his heart tightened. "Nothing …… there either?" Zhao Long raised his head and looked at Dong Qi in puzzlement, asking, "What …… did you see?" "Eye …… eyes!" Dong Xie almost pressed his body against the wall at this point and said, "I just saw an eye!" After hearing these words, everyone's face changed dramatically, and then subconsciously began to move away from the hole in the floor. Every single person was trembling, just afraid that something would come out of that hole in the next moment! "Are you …… sure?" Feng Yu's eyes widened as he looked at Dong Qi in front of him, "You didn't see it wrong, did you?" "I saw it clearly …… it was just an eye!" Hearing Dong Qi in front of him say so, everyone began to panic. "I …… We should not first, first leave this?" Ge Qi at this time and took a lighter to shine on the hole in front of him, but he did not dare to come up to see. After all, he didn't know what would happen next? Zhao Long was also quite hesitant, this seemed to be an avenue where he could get clues to the way of life, but, he did feel fearful as well. But then, Zhao Long thought that his cell phone still didn't work, and he was completely cut off from Mo Yuan. In such a situation, the path of exploring the path to life had also become full of thorns. To be honest, for Zhao Long at this moment, his inner confidence in his ability to survive was already severely low. Therefore, he had to grasp every seemingly tiny clue to find the way to life. "I'll take another look ……" Zhao Long clenched his teeth and stiffly squatted down, aiming his eyes at the mouth of the cave. Ge Qi saw him like this and had to continue to illuminate him. Only, what Zhao Long could see …… was still only pitch black. Dong Xie looked at this scene, and his heart was also tight. But at that time, he did see …… That eye, peering at this floor! Dong Ning raised his hand and pushed the bangs in front of her forehead away. Dong Xie knew that every time Ning made this action, it meant　　that her heart was beginning to fall into a state of heightened unease. "Brother, at least, sure of one thing ……" Dong Ning still put her hand on the sea of bangs that were set aside, this action of hers means that it is running the brain cells at high speed in thinking, in the past Dong Xie but whenever he saw her doing this action, it was usually before the exams a large number of hitting the sea of questions The time will appear frequently. "Determined what?" Dong Xie asked curiously. "The 4th floor is indeed a danger zone, not a 'path to life'. Frankly speaking, at worst, I was planning to verify this possibility. After all, the one who uttered these words is ……" Dong Xie immediately understood Dong Ning's meaning; she had actually generated the inference of "whether or not the 4th floor was instead the way to life." "It doesn't make much sense, does it?" Feng Yu said nonchalantly, "I thought you had some high opinion." Dong Xie coldly looked at Feng Yu and said, "That's better than some people openly paddling." Feng Yu was suddenly speechless, unexpectedly unable to refute Dong Xie's words. No matter what, he was also someone who wanted to keep his face, and hearing this, there was no way he could say anything else. "First …… leave this?" Ge Qi scowled at this moment, "We …… have pretty much explored this place anyway, right?" Ge Qi was not wanting to continue staying in this place for a second. "Get out ……Yeah, get out …… "Feng Yu also began to speak incoherently, "Let's go first… …" Dong Xie looked at Dong Ning with a bitter smile, he was chagrined that it was actually rare for him to be on the same side as Feng Yu, Ge Qi. …… Inside the silent hallway. At this moment, it wasn't really a great exaggeration to say that a pin dropped on the ground could be heard. Almost everyone, including Dong Xie, was next to the wall, slowly moving forward. After basically circling around the fifth floor, they retraced their steps back to the door of the room they had rented. Zhao Long was about to go open the door, but Dong Ning said, "Wait …… Ge Qi, give me the lighter." Ge Qi froze, then handed her the lighter. After all, the lighter couldn't burn for a long time, and had previously been extinguished at intervals and relit after a while. Even so, the lighter had become very hot. Therefore, Dong Xie helped Dong Ning receive the lighter and said, "I'll take the picture for you, Ning, what do you want to see?" Dong Ning pointed to the bottom of the door in front of him and said, "I put a band-aid …… under the door, and if anything ever goes in there, that band-aid will be ripped off." Dong Xie froze. Since he was a student, he had experienced very terrible school bullying because the fighting item was just too weak, and it was especially intensified when he entered high school after the death of his parents, because no matter how badly he was bullied, no parent would ever come to school to stand up for him. Of course, if he was beaten up badly, the other guy wasn't much better; he couldn't win the fight, but he could still leave the other guy hanging, even though he was beaten by the teacher for eighty strokes each every time. Over time, even though he had long since gotten away from the schoolyard, Ning had always made it a habit to carry a band-aid on his person. Every time Dong Xie had to make sure that the person who beat him up had also been beaten up by himself (of course, there was an element of exaggeration), he believed that Ah Ning absolutely dared to rush to school and fight with the other party. "In the end, a girl is just meticulous." Zhao Long also revealed a look of approval, even Feng Yu Ge Qi, who was previously unfazed by Dong Ning, began to have some admiration. Confirming that the band-aid was properly affixed allowed Dong Ning to breathe a sigh of relief as well. Dong Xie, on the other hand, looked towards his sister, revealing a look of admiration mixed with doting. He swore in his heart that no matter how dangerous a situation he encountered, he would protect Ning properly! "Alright, let's ……" Just at this time, the door leading to the stairwell suddenly opened automatically with a creak! In this silent place, this really made one's scalp feel numb. Watching this scene, everyone almost held their breath. Feng Yu and Ge Qi subconsciously began to back away, while Dong Xie did just the opposite, instead advancing a step and blocking in front of Dong Ning while clenching his fists. "Maybe it's …… wind?" "Looking over there …… there doesn't seem to be anything in the ……" "Hush …… don't talk! Quiet!" And just then, Dong Ning was the one who stepped forward and stood side by side with Dong Qi! No matter what peril she faced, she was determined, to advance and retreat together with her brother!
