Chapter 257: Escape

His consciousness gradually blurred, and the black vines seemed to have the ability to torture people's spirits, making Tang Juyi almost faint directly.

In this painful state, he can still see the elevator door through the dense vines, and the "death" that always envelops him.

It is difficult for Tang Juyi to describe this strange "death" concretely, because it is between matter and concept, and it is an existence that should not be seen.

But Tang Juyi still saw it, and clearly realized that it was "death", because of the cold and helpless atmosphere, as well as the heavy contemplation like the deep sea, Tang Juyi once experienced it once - the blessing of the head of the garden.

At this time, his body couldn't move, his spirit was fragile to a limit, Tang Juyi couldn't even perceive the existence of his body, and he couldn't determine whether what he saw in front of him was real.

The "death" was originally entrenched around Tang Juyi, like a fierce beast observing its prey, constantly testing the state of the prey at hand, and sniffing its breath repeatedly.

However, it has never touched Tang Juyi in the true sense, as if it cannot cross a certain line.

There was a long silence, and coldness and rancid stench were the only elements inside this elevator.

The elevator door has not opened for a long time, and the hell scene behind the door has not been revealed in front of Tang Juyi, as if waiting for something.

Finally, the waitress's voice sounded a little unwillingly:

"Understood."

"Coming to the East Lake Diagnosis and Treatment Center, 7th floor."

This sentence was like a heavenly sound, directly pulling Tang Juyi back from the edge of broken will and seeing the dawn again.

The black vines on their bodies receded as if they had come, peeling away from the flesh and blood of Tang Juyi and Chiju Wood, no longer devouring their vitality.

And the darkness that was about to completely engulf the elevator slowly dissipated, and the bright lights began to bloom again. The corroded and decayed scenery was restored as if time had gone back in time, and it was restored to its previous normal appearance. The screaming human faces, and the bloody handprints that covered the walls, were gone.

In the entire elevator, only Tang Juyi and Qianchengmu remained, as well as the waitress in the yellow dress.

Yes, the waitress has somehow reverted to her human form, not the plastic mannequin doll anymore. Just like when Tang Juyi and the others entered the elevator, they stood elegantly in front of the button.

She looked down at Tang Juyi, who was still lying on the ground, and the look on her face was full of regret, as if she saw the food at the banquet slipping away in front of her.

Bite~

A crisp prompt sounded, and the number "7" appeared on the floor display at the top of the elevator. On the button next to it, which has long been dimmed, the position of "7" is indeed highlighted, and there is no difference from the normal elevator floor.

"The 7th floor of the East Lake Diagnosis and Treatment Center has arrived, does anyone want to go down?"

The waitress did not continue to look at Tang Juyi, but faced the row of buttons again, fulfilling her duties as a waiter. Although there were only two people in the elevator, and this floor was the destination that Tang Juyi requested, she still asked such a sentence.

Tang Juyi finally took a breath, although he didn't want to speak at all, he still made a voice with difficulty:

"Yes...... We're going down...... Troublesome...... Keep the door open all the time......"

If you don't say this, with Tang Juyi and Qiantangimu's physical state at this time, they won't be able to leave the elevator area even if they move for half a day. If the waitress comes to play tricks again, plays a logical loophole, forcibly thinks that "if you don't respond, you won't get off the elevator by default", and then drag the two of them into hell for a day trip, then it will be the end of the calf.

Hearing Tang Juyi's words, the waitress sighed, and the disappointment was extremely obvious:

"Understood."

Even though she looked reluctant, she dutifully pressed the elevator door button, did not let the elevator door close, and waited for Tang Juyi and Qiantangmu to leave the elevator.

"Whew...... Brother Orange...... Can you ...... It's a bit heavy......"

Tang Juyi struggled to get up, moving his body on the ground in a dog-crawling posture, and on the other hand, he was dragging Chiju Mu's feet, trying to pull him out of the elevator.

Because his physical strength at this time was too weak, Tang Juyi had a bit of a hard time even leaving the elevator by himself, let alone taking a thousand orange trees, and the two of them had to pause for a while when they moved, which could be said to be slower than a snail.

During this process, the waitress still kept pressing the elevator button, and as Tang Juyi requested, she did not close the elevator door.

"To you...... Move......"

Almost squeezing out of between his teeth, Tang Juyi grabbed Qiantangyu's clothes with all his might, and then fell backwards, and then the force of the fall dragged Qiantangi.

"What the are you...... willpower is weak like this...... Excuse me...... What about being an agent? ”

While scolding Qiantangmu, Tang Juyi's movements in his hands did not stop for a moment.

After confirming that it was safe to do so, he was not willing to give up on Chichimangi. Not to mention how much help Chichibana can bring in the next process, just the past that Chichizuki knows about "Datian Liran" is already the reason why Tang Juyi must save him.

"Walk you!"

In the last moment, Tang Juyi roared and pulled Qiantangyu out of the elevator, and finally left that terrifying space completely.

Since the waitress had clearly said that this floor was the "7th floor of the East Lake Diagnosis and Treatment Center", Tang Juyi did not consider the possibility that "this floor is an illusion".

In the original "different level" story, the male protagonist finally came to an empty shopping mall floor, although the scene layout is exactly the same as the shopping mall before he enters the elevator, but there is no living person in it, only himself, which also happens to meet the requirements of "one person quietly".

And at the end of that story, the waitress also said "I have arrived where I am alone", proving that this waitress does not lie on the floor.

Therefore, after hearing the clear floor description, Tang Juyi was also completely relieved.

As Chizuki's body left the elevator completely, the gentle and elegant waitress also stared at the two with her deep eyes, and pressed the button to close the door.

Tang Juyi, who was panting, also raised his head, looked at him fearlessly, and also said nothing.

As the elevator door slowly closed, the meeting of the two eyes was interrupted, and in the whole process of looking at each other, although there was no verbal communication, it was enough to encompass a lot.

The elevator resumed its operation again, and the muffled sound of mechanical operation came from behind the metal door, and it could be heard that the elevator was indeed far away from the two of them, heading towards an unknown place below, and I don't know if it was returning to the creepy "eighteen underground floors".

Outside, the floor display does not show the floor where the elevator is located, but converges into a short sentence:

"Welcome to the next time."
