Chapter 38: The Last Way to Live (Up)

Dong Xie quickly took Dong Ning's hand and rushed towards the staircase steps in front of him before his sister could react from her horror! His movements were like a conditioned reflex, and even before Dong Ning could see the face of the evil spirit clearly, she was pulled up by her brother and ran. Dong Xie grew up with athletics as his absolute weakness, but at this moment, he opened his pace and ran madly, quickly rushing all the way upwards, and finally rushed directly to the 5th floor! After reaching the 5th floor, his first time was to run towards the elevator! "Brother, what are you doing?" "Ning, watch the stairwell location for me! Tell me when that thing appears!" Dong Ning didn't understand what her brother was going to do, was she going back to the 4th floor? But if the evil spirit blocked the elevator door, they would be finished! It wasn't long before the elevator doors opened, and Dong Evil quickly stepped in, then pressed the button to keep the elevator from closing! At the same time, he moved half of his body out of the elevator entrance and looked at the stairwell location not far away. Just then, clear footsteps came! "Brother, let's get out of here ……" At this time, Dong Ning was scared to death, she was to ruffle her bangs every time to think carefully, once she fell into a state of panic her brain would go blank. And since childhood has been fighting with people, failing exams, often have to face a variety of crises in front of teachers and parents Dong Xie, reflex nerves may not be enough, but the clinical resilience is very strong, which also makes his thinking in the more highly dangerous time instead the more potential to burst. The level of intelligence is not really the difference between being smart and being stupid, but rather the speed of thinking out solutions to problems. Right at this moment, Dong Xie and Dong Ning simultaneously saw that the door to the stairwell was slowly pushed open by a hand! "Come!" Dong Xie quickly pulled Dong Ning into the elevator before quickly closing the doors! Immediately afterward, he quickly pressed all the floor buttons from 1 to 4! Dong Ning immediately understood, "You're aiming to make it impossible for it to know which floor we're going to?" "The apartment's restrictions on the Evil Spirit still exist, and may not have the means to sense our location. This can buy us time!" This Building 3 was small, but it didn't mean they couldn't fight the evil spirits guerrilla! Soon, the elevator reached the 1st floor, and Dong Xie immediately pulled Dong Ning and rushed into the building, then ran to the corner of the corridor and hid. But Dong Ning was still extremely uneasy; the apartment's restrictions would continue to weaken over time, and no one could deduce how things would develop. Dong Xie grabbed Dong Ning's hand and whispered, "We can't hide inside the room, if the door gets locked again, it's over!" Now Dong Xie must find the last clue to survival before the evil spirit finally catches them! Once that evil spirit searched the 1st floor, they would have to rush over to the stairwell and escape up there. However, the time this could be delayed was extremely limited. The last hour! "In the worst case scenario …… I'll try …… to go back to that room on the 4th floor once again." Dong Xie didn't want to come to this point no matter what, but right now, did he have any other way? Time moved on little by little …… In the blink of an eye, twenty minutes passed. However, there was no movement at all. The search of the evil spirits obviously could not take that long. Dong Xie gradually realized that it wasn't because of the apartment's limitations, but that this Evil Spirit was subjecting them to the despair and pain before death. As could be seen in the bloodstained records, sometimes the evil spirit carried a great deal of resentment, so it tended not to give the occupants a hard time either. Dong Xie had actually thought about a lot of issues during the two weeks he had been in the apartment. For example, what kind of relationship did the evil spirits have with the apartment? Was it a summoned object? Or is it similar to the Cthulhu mythological concept of a race of servants of the old dominators? Did the evil spirits themselves know that the apartment existed, and did they know that the apartment would weaken its limitations over time? Dong Xie glanced at Dong Ning again and said in a low voice, "Ning, we have to find a way to explore a way out. As a last resort, I'm afraid we only have to go back to the 4th floor. But if we go back to that room ……" Perhaps this was the way to life, but it was more likely to be the way to death. Until now, Dong Qi didn't know why when the evil spirit's hand reached in for not long and then immediately retracted? Following that, it took two hours of time before it laid its hands on them? Dong Ning nodded. She also knew that there was no way to get the hope of life without putting up a fight. Here, it was too far from the apartment. Their options, too limited. Dong Xie held Dong Ning's hand tightly and said, "Let's go, Ning!" They walked out from the corner of the corridor, and following that, moved a little bit towards the elevator in front of them. Dong Xie walked to the elevator and pressed the button. Waiting for the elevator to open. At the same time, he also pulled Aning and started to move away from the elevator entrance, so maybe the evil spirits would appear at the door once the elevator doors opened. The elevator door opened. There was …… no one inside. Dong Qi and Dong Ning walked into the elevator, and then, pressed the elevator button. As the elevator doors closed. He didn't hesitate to press the button for the 4th floor. Dong Xie knew that he could no longer hesitate now. I'm afraid that the only way to survive is to find it on the 4th floor, there is no other means! When they reached the 4th floor, Dong Xie and Dong Ning huddled in the corner of the elevator again. They were both afraid that as soon as they opened the elevator doors, the evil spirits would be standing guard outside! They should know that this was different from the 1st floor, once the evil spirits were really blocking the outside, then the consequences would be unimaginable! They would be trapped in a jar, waiting to die! And that's precisely because the 4th floor was locked, so the only way to get in was to use the elevator. And with the power outage in the entire 3rd floor, the elevator was the only one that could be used! The elevator door opened. The evil spirit …… did not stand outside the elevator! Dong Qi was greatly relieved …… Fortunately, fortunately! Looking at the slowly opening elevator entrance, he even first poked his head out and looked around to make sure that the evil spirits were not ambushing the side before he was relieved. But just at this time, a thought suddenly swept through his mind. Dong Xie then pulled his head back and looked at the elevator entrance in front of him. "Ah Ning." He pointed at the elevator entrance and said, "If that evil spirit blocks the elevator entrance, we're dead. Honestly, it was always assumed that locking the door to the stairwell leading to the 4th floor was to make it easier to block us outside by only taking the elevator. But that doesn't seem to be the case ……" "Maybe it's the apartment's restrictions on evil spirits?" "Maybe ……." Dong Qi imagined the picture if that evil spirit ambushed the door …… A thought vaguely flashed in his mind. Could it be that the path to life is …… So he immediately pulled Ning out! At this time, Dong Xie found that the potted plant that he had previously used to block the elevator entrance was actually still sitting next to the elevator. It had been moved out of the way when he had left the 4th floor earlier, and its position hadn't changed at all. So, Dong Xie simply put the potted plant back at the elevator entrance. Two hours later, he and Ning rejoined this floor!
