Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Last Way to Life (I)
Dong Xie quickly took Dong Ning's hand, and before his sister could react from the shock, he rushed towards the stairs in front of him!
His movements were like a conditioned reflex, and even Dong Ning was pulled up by his brother and ran away before he could see the face of the evil spirit clearly.
Dong Xie has been an absolute weakness in track and field since he was a child, but at this time, he took a step and ran wildly, quickly rushed all the way up, and finally rushed directly to the 5th floor! After arriving on the 5th floor, he immediately ran towards the elevator!
"Brother, what are you going to do?"
"Ah Ning, help me look at the location of the stairwell! Tell me when that thing comes along! ”
Dong Ning didn't understand what her brother was going to do, did she want to go back to the 4th floor? But if the evil spirit is blocked at the elevator door, they are finished!
Not long after, the elevator door opened, Dong Xie quickly walked in, and then pressed the button to keep the elevator from closing! At the same time, he moved half of his body out of the elevator and looked at the stairwell not far away. At this moment, clear footsteps came!
"Brother, let's go......"
At this time, Dong Ning was so frightened that she had no master, she had to open her bangs every time and think about it carefully, once she fell into a state of panic, her brain would be blank. And Dong Xie, who has been fighting with people since he was a child, failing exams, and often facing various crises in front of his teachers and parents, may not have enough reflex nerves, but he has a strong on-the-spot adaptability, which also makes his thinking more potential when he is in high danger.
The level of IQ is not the difference between being smart and stupid, but the speed of thinking about how to solve a problem.
At this moment, Dong Xie and Dong Ning saw at the same time that the door of the stairwell was slowly pushed open by one hand!
"Come!"
Dong Xie quickly pulled Dong Ning into the elevator, and then quickly closed the elevator door! Then, quickly press all the floor buttons from 1 to 4!
Dong Ning immediately understood: "Your purpose is to make it impossible to know which floor we are going to?"
"The apartment is still limited to evil spirits, and there may be no way to sense where we are. This can buy us time! ”
Although this No. 3 building is small, it doesn't mean that they can't fight guerrilla warfare with evil spirits!
Soon, when the elevator reached the 1st floor, Dong Xie immediately pulled Dong Ning into the corridor, and then ran to the corner of the corridor and hid.
But Dong Ning is still extremely uneasy, the restrictions of the apartment will continue to weaken over time, and no one can predict how the situation will develop.
Dong Xie grabbed Dong Ning's hand and said in a low voice: "We can't hide in the room, in case the door is locked again, it's over!" ”
Now Dong Xie must find the last clue to survive before the evil spirits finally catch them!
Once the evil spirit is found on the first floor, they must rush to the stairwell and escape. However, there is a very limited amount of time that can be delayed.
Last hour!
"Worst-case scenario...... I'll give it a try...... Go back to the room on the 4th floor. "Dong Xie doesn't want to come this far anyway, but is there any other way for him to do it right now?
Time ticked by...... In the blink of an eye, twenty minutes passed. However, there was no movement at all.
The search for evil spirits obviously won't take that long.
Dong Xie gradually realized that it was not because of the limitations of the apartment, but because the evil spirit was making them suffer the despair and pain before they died. It can be seen in the blood records that sometimes, evil spirits carry great resentment, so they often do not give the residents a good time.
Dong Xie actually thought about a lot of questions in the two weeks he entered the apartment. For example, what is the relationship between evil spirits and apartments? Is that a summon? Or is it similar to the slave race of the Old Dominators in the Cthulhu Mythos? Does the evil spirits themselves know that the apartment exists, and does it know that the apartment will weaken its limits over time?
Dong Xie glanced at Dong Ning again and said in a low voice: "Ah Ning, we have to find a way to find a way to survive." As a last resort, we'll probably have to go back to the 4th floor. But if you go back to that room......"
Maybe it's a way to live, but it's more likely to be a dead end.
Until now, Dong Xie didn't know why the evil spirit's hand stretched out and retracted it immediately after a long time? And then it took two hours to attack them?
Dong Ning nodded.
She also knows that if she doesn't fight, she can't get hope of life. Here, too far from the apartment. Their options are too limited.
Dong Xie clenched Dong Ning's hand and said, "Let's go, Ah Ning!" ”
They walked around the corner of the hallway, and then, little by little, moved towards the elevator in front of them.
Dong Xie walked to the elevator and pressed the button. Wait for the elevator to open. At the same time, he also pulled Ah Ning and began to move away from the elevator entrance, maybe as soon as the elevator door opened, the evil spirit would appear at the door.
The elevator doors open.
Inside...... Not a single one.
Dong Xie and Dong Ning walked into the elevator, and then pressed the elevator button.
With the elevator doors closed. Without hesitation, he pressed the button on the 4th floor.
Dong Xie knew that he couldn't hesitate now. I'm afraid that the only way to survive can be found on the 4th floor, and there is no other way!
On the 4th floor, Dong Xie and Dong Ning curled up in the corner of the elevator again. They are all afraid that as soon as they open the elevator door, the evil spirits will be waiting outside! You know, this is different from the time on the first floor, once the evil spirit is really blocked outside, then the consequences are unimaginable! They are equivalent to turtles in an urn, only waiting for death!
And this is precisely because the 4th floor is locked, so you can only enter by elevator. And the entire building 3 is out of power, but only the elevator can be used!
The elevator doors opened.
Evil Spirit...... Didn't stand outside the elevator!
Dong Xie breathed a sigh of relief...... It's okay, it's okay!
Looking at the slowly opening elevator, he even poked his head out and looked left and right first, making sure that the evil spirit was not ambushed next to him.
But at this moment, a thought suddenly crossed his mind.
Then Dong Xie retracted his head and looked at the elevator in front of him.
"Ah Ning." He pointed to the elevator entrance and said, "If that evil spirit is blocking the elevator door, we will die." To be honest, I always thought that locking the door from the stairwell to the 4th floor was just so that we could only take the elevator so that we could block us outside. But it doesn't seem to be the case......"
"Maybe it's the apartment's restriction on evil spirits?"
"Perhaps...... bar. ”
Dong Xie imagined if the evil spirit was ambushed at the door...... A thought crossed my mind.
Could it be that the way to life is ......
So he immediately pulled Ah Ning out with him!
At this time, Dong Xie found that the potted plant that was used to block the elevator entrance was still placed next to the elevator. This was removed when he left the 4th floor before, and the position did not change at all.
So, Dong Xie simply put the potted plant back at the elevator entrance.
Two hours later, he and Ah Ning were back on this floor!
