Chapter 19: Exploring Downwards
"Just now, before …… Feng Yu was like that, was there anything particularly unusual?"
The remaining four occupants, at this time, reentered the room. The table has been placed on several candles, the candle's fire is much brighter than the previous separate lighter, but everyone is awake to realize what is the real horror.
"No …… I don't think there is anything particularly unusual ……"
"Feng Yu has not done anything that we have not done, alone only he has done?" Zhao Long was still very undying, he always hoped to find a clue that triggered a dead end, or better than the current situation, where the occupants were just randomly selected, and they were possessed by evil spirits, and fell into Feng Yu's fate.
They were completely unaware at this point that Feng Yu, who had arrived on the 4th floor right under their feet, was meeting death with no self-awareness at all?
"I have also thought about this question, but at least the behavior that can obviously be considered to constitute a dead end, I think it is …… no."
Dong Ning once again pushed aside the bangs in front of her forehead and pressed her right hand against the part of the bangs, revealing her bare forehead. This also meant that she was turning on her brain cells at this moment to think of a countermeasure. However, her hand couldn't stop trembling, and several times, she re-let her bangs fall apart.
Feng Yu's death completely shattered all their extravagant hopes. At the same time, it also completely proved one thing, the 4th floor was indeed a dead end.
Ge Qi looked around at this moment and said, "This, this way, find a rope and tie me up! In that case, I won't be able to go to the 4th floor."
Dong Ning, however, shook his head and said, "Just now, Feng Yu could be said to have gone outside without a sound, I think I'm afraid that tying you up won't work."
Dong Xie also nodded, then said, "Why don't we guard the elevator entrance! As long as that's the case, no one will be able to go down through the elevator to see. As long as we guard the elevator entrance ……"
However, as he spoke later, his own voice began to become much smaller.
He felt that …… was only not that simple.
"This, this is a good idea!" But at this moment, where did Ge Qi, who had already been silenced, care about this much, as he uncharacteristically said to Dong Qi, "Just, just do it!"
Saying this, he looked at Zhao Long and added, "In this way, all four of us gather at the elevator entrance …… There's only one elevator in this Building 3, guard it there, and then, if anyone is struck by evil, stop the other person from taking the elevator… …"
"Sorry to throw cold water on you at a time like this," at this time, Dong Ning put her hand down from her forehead and said, "In that case, why didn't you go and stop Feng Yu just now?"
As soon as these words came out, a deathly silence fell over the room.
Ge Qi was instantly dumbfounded, and just as he was about to say something, Dong Ning continued to add, "Do you think that after you acted like you were possessed by an evil spirit, who among us would be willing to risk our lives to stop you from taking the elevator? Me? My brother? Or Zhao Long?"
Dong Ning added in her heart when she said this, asking her to risk her life to save Ge Qi, that was absolutely impossible, she was not an idol theater Virgin Mary Sue, the only person she was willing to fight to the death to save was her brother.
"If, if stop me then ……" Ge Qi but held back half a day, also can not say what can be promised to the other side. Money? The most important thing inside the apartment is all money!
On the contrary,…… Dong Xie and Dong Ning, both are willing to fight to the death to protect each other. Therefore, once Feng Yu's kind of situation occurred, they were both willing to block each other from going to the elevator. This point became the biggest advantage of this pair of siblings.
Dong Xie looked at Ge Qi's expression that was like a pig's liver color, sighed, and said, ''I think …… that trying to block it with manpower, I'm afraid it's not something that can be done easily. Obviously, whether to go to the 4th floor or not, I'm afraid it's only not something we can easily decide."
"Then what do you mean?" Ge Qi's eyes scanned over the Dong Qi siblings in front of him, saying, "Do we just have to wait for death?"
Dong Xie could tell that Ge Qi was becoming more and more irritable. Originally, Ning had also warned Dong Qi to be careful of the unstable emotions of the occupants themselves, but it was only because the behavior of these piggy teammates had caused her to be too disdainful, along with a series of fears that had also caused Ning to lose her usual mind, that she had said the kind of things that had clearly irritated Ge Qi just now. It was well said in Wandering Earth that it was impossible for human beings to remain rational forever, not to mention that although Ah Ning was much more precocious than her peers, she was still just a female college student in the end.
Dong Xie felt that he had to appease Ge Qi now. If Ge Qi really felt that he had no hope of survival, no one knew if he would become self-destructive and do something irrational. Compared to the sister who has not yet left the ivory tower A gel, Dong Xie's social experience is slightly more than her, and is very clear about one thing …… people, sometimes much more frightening than the evil spirits. Therefore, now he must give the other party hope, so as not to let him do something irrational.
"Listen to me …… I suggest that it is better to go downstairs to investigate. We …… might be able to find clues to survival down there. Feng Yu just died …… well, I think he should be dead by now …… All in all, this time interval will also become a relatively safe period of time. We can utilize this time to check out the clues of the living path. I don't feel at all that by guarding the elevator entrance, we'll be able to survive this Bloodletter mission."
In fact, from a rational standpoint, no one denied that Dong Xie's words made sense. But as said before, it was difficult to make humans remain rational all the time. People were always more willing to believe in things that were favorable to them and dismiss speculations that were unfavorable to them. Absolute rationality was a cruel thing, and this was something that Dong Xie, who had lost his mother as a child and his father at the age of sixteen, could not be clearer.
Zhao Long finally stopped hesitating as well. He couldn't deny that Dong Xie's words did make sense. Whether there was hope down there or not he didn't know, but the problem was that by continuing to stay here, sooner or later, what had happened to Feng Yu would happen to them as well. Can it be solved by guarding the elevator entrance? To be honest, it was probably quite possible that they would directly appear in the elevator once the candles were extinguished at that time.
"Okay …… let's …… go!"
Zhao Long stood up straight, no longer hesitating.
"Ah Ning, you ……" Dong Qi looked at his sister, and before he could open his mouth, Dong Ning replied, "Wherever you go, brother, I'll go!"
Three against one, there was no point in Ge Qi objecting. It was impossible for him to stay on this floor alone, right?
So, they decided on this and went to explore downstairs. The elevator …… of course did not dare to sit, but only from the stairs down!
