Chapter 42: The Trick

The door still didn't respond.

Luo Gu Yu was not in a hurry, just stood quietly in place.

Xie Chen stared at the door intently, not daring to slack off in the slightest, afraid that he would miss something in the blink of an eye.

But his eyes were sour, and he didn't see any movement in the door.

This made Xie Chen rub his eyes.

But there was still no sound at the door of the room, and Luo Guyu was also standing quietly in front of him, his face buried a little low.

Xie Chen gently put his hand into his pocket, and after glancing at Luo Guyu and the woman beside him, he took out the pocket watch.

But Luogu also made a move at this time.

He opened the door in front of him and pushed out a crack in the door.

Just as she was about to turn back, Xie Chen immediately pressed the pocket watch.

Time also stood still in this moment.

Luo Guyu had just turned half of his face, and he was so stiff that he couldn't move.

Xie Chen let go of the woman beside her, she was also so stiff, and she didn't fall to the ground.

In a state of pause in time, the pocket watch can freeze everything in space.

There is not much ink on the dust.

The pocket watch has only been used three times, and I have already used both times for time pause.

The maximum number of time pauses per day is only once.

As soon as these thirty seconds have passed, there is only one time left to use the pocket watch, and there is no way to use the ability to pause time today.

Xie Chen trotted to the door and pushed open the door of the curator's room.

I want to see for myself, this curator's office is so mysterious, what the hell is in here.

As the door of the curator's room opened, darkness fell into front of his eyes.

Xie Chen reached out and touched the wall in the curator's room, and easily found the switch of the light.

For.

With the button of the wall pressed.

The originally dark curator's room was brightly lit.

There are six or seven light tubes, all connected to the same switch.

Under the dazzling lights, Xie Chen, who had adapted to the warm light environment of the aisle in front of him, his pupils shrank, and he was so sour that he couldn't open his eyes.

As the eyes gradually adjusted, although the surroundings were too bright, they could still see the real appearance of the scene.

At first glance, there is nothing strange about this director's room, except that there are several bookcases in front of it, and there must be a dozen or so cabinets in total.

In addition, there are very normal desks and chairs, plus potted plants that add greenery, and the rest is nothing worth noting.

At a glance, there was nothing that could make him feel strange, which made Xie Chen sense a trace of abnormality.

And at the back of the desk, there is a hanging photo.

In this director's room, the strong light flashed on the glass of the photo hanging, and Xie Chen had no way to see what was in the picture frame.

The time limit for the time pause is also coming soon.

After all, thirty seconds is just the blink of an eye.

Xie Chen did not mess up, and began to return in place in an orderly manner.

After turning off all the lights, he closed the door of the room again, and returned to the woman's side.

"Twenty-eight, twenty-nine......"

"Thirty."

Xie Chen silently recited the end countdown of the time pause in his heart, until the last second, and the surrounding scene began to slowly recover.

There are traces of the passage of time again.

For some reason, the woman on the side seemed to shake her body.

It's just that it quickly stopped, and Xie Chen himself couldn't confirm whether there was really this movement just now.

After opening the door, Luo Guyu also turned his head to look at Xie Chen.

"Help the woman here."

Luo Gu said coldly.

Seeing that she had regained this attitude, Xie Chen didn't say anything, but obediently helped the woman to the door.

After gradually approaching the door, Xie Chen slowly slowed down.

Luo Guyu stretched out her hand to take the woman, although she looked very reluctant, she still emphasized letting Xie Chen step back by herself.

These requirements were naturally complied with.

I saw Luo Guyu slowly leaning the woman's back against the door, and then pushed in as the door opened.

Plop.

A voice rang out in the room.

It's just that Luo Guyu didn't push the door open and entered, but closed the door of the curator's room casually.

"Let's go!"

"Don't delay here."

Xie Chen looked at the door of the curator's room, but Luo Guyu turned around and patted himself lightly on the shoulder.

"Oh."

Xie Chen replied in a flat tone, which did not make Luo Guyu feel that his emotions had caused any waves.

After leaving the door, he returned to the front of the hallway.

After Xie Chen came out, Luo Guyu closed the door again, and locked it slowly with the key.

Xie Chen frowned, and asked symbolically: "Just locked her up like this?" ”

Hearing Xie Chen's question, Luo Guyu didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

Seeing that he couldn't get a decent answer, Xie Chen put on the doubts he should have, but in fact, he was just doing it for this woman.

After all, if she did these things for her, if she didn't put on the attitude that a normal person should have, it would seem that she was abnormal.

"You don't care so much."

"Let's go back to rest with a break, and when the injuries on my body are almost healed, I will continue to go back to work."

"We don't have enough people in the swimming pool, although I didn't take the things that Luo Xi reported to me, but you really can't always think about being lazy."

Luo Guyu smiled softly, but this time Xie Chen didn't eat him.

In his own eyes, Luo Gu Yu is a sweet-looking demon who may kill himself at any time.

This kind of gentle speech is added to the harmless appearance of humans and animals, and it is difficult for people to label her as a villain.

Xie Chen could only nod slightly, as if she had answered herself, and passed the question perfunctorily without saying a word.

Although he had this attitude, Luo Guyu did not emphasize anything, but walked down the first floor of the swimming pool.

Xie Chen turned his head to look at the locked door, his face full of solemnity.

It's not that I don't have a chance.

You must know that although the door on the outside is locked, the door on the inside is not locked.

This also means that if you can silently open the door outside, you can go deep into the curator's room and ask the woman what happened in this swimming pool.

But these prerequisites are that you have to prepare things in advance, and you need to pick a section of the two sisters, even including Jiang Wanqiao, no one will notice their time period.

That's how you can be safe.

Otherwise, it will really become the target of public criticism.

Xie Chen slowly walked back to his room, not that he didn't want to act now, nor did he want to go downstairs to explore the source of other problems.

After all, Luo Guyu was still busy downstairs, and he didn't know when she would come up.

My instincts told me that the woman was becoming more and more dangerous as time went on.

If you can avoid it as much as possible, then don't go head-to-head.

This kind of simple truth in books can actually be used everywhere.

If it weren't for the fact that he used his pocket watch too few times, he would have done evil in this strange world a long time ago, so why do you need to be so aggrieved?

"Alas, it's the most important thing to be able to save your life."

"Avoid its edge, and bear with it."

After returning to the room, Xie Chen slowly closed the door, leaned against the door and couldn't help but sigh.

When I came back just now, I also glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and the time had come to five o'clock.

In less than half an hour, the swimming pool will be closed.

When the time comes, you have to check everything again to make sure that there are no guests in the swimming pool.

Thinking of this, Xie Chen still felt a little palpitating, after all, when he was screening yesterday, he first found a problem in the sauna.

Today, for various reasons, I really can't take the time to check inside, and I don't know who is spending in it.

Xie Chen sighed, and there was an extra worry on his face.

But at this moment, goosebumps suddenly appeared on his body.

When I thought about it, I realized the seriousness of the matter.

The swimming pool closes in less than half an hour, but the crazy woman from earlier is still in the director's room.

The rules of the swimming pool staff can clearly stipulate that such suspicious guests must stay in the swimming pool director's room for half an hour.

If this half hour had passed, wouldn't the swimming pool have already closed for business?

The same two rules contradict each other.

Xie Chen really couldn't think of how to solve it.

If the woman hadn't hinted at leaving the swimming pool, what would have happened in the swimming pool?

Or are you pushing yourself to the truth of the matter?

Xie Chen still shook his head violently, feeling that this matter was impossible at all.

I had just returned to my room, and I was running out of time for myself.

Xie Chen began to rummage back and forth in the room, but the only approximate place was the table and the bed where he slept, so how could he borrow any tools?

"It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice!"

Xie Chen put one hand on his face and covered the anxiety on his face.

How could you go to Luogu to get the keys yourself? That's just an act of looking for death.

At the end of the day, you have to do it yourself.

It's just that I don't have the tools to take advantage of at the moment, and it's difficult to do it myself.

"No matter."

Xie Chen gently opened the door and began to check on the second floor.

Fortunately, the emperor lives up to his wishes.

Among the potted plants in front of the large balcony on the second floor, a pot of carnations that had been hung on the railing had been taken down by the dust.

The sides of the pot are tied with wire and gently hung from the barbs of the railing.

Xie Chen pulled down so hard, and used his strength to bend and straighten the wire on the round hole of the flower pot.

The two wires were just taken down.

Xie Chen exhaled.

I still learned the ability to unlock the lock from my grandfather, but in fact, I am not proficient in it, so it depends on whether it can come in handy today.
