Chapter 244 I'm actually pretty lucky

Soon, the approaching footsteps stopped at the toilet door.

Someone shouted, "People inside, come out!"

Jiang Hanying and Qin Che watched as the man instantly switched to a dazed and confused state, and walked out with dragging steps.

"10:33? Why are you still in the bathroom at this hour? What were you yelling about?"

The man opened his mouth and let out a silly grin.

The person asking the question knew it was pointless to ask a fool and had no expectation of getting an answer. Seeing this, he said impatiently, "Go, go, go back to your room! Seriously, you're wasting my rest!"

The footsteps gradually faded into the distance.

Jiang Hanying walked quickly to the bathroom door. When Qin Che chased after her, he saw her shining her phone light on the wall next to her.

I leaned closer to look and saw faint bloodstains on the wall, and smelled a faint scent of fresh blood.

"Was it that person from just now?"

"Ah."

Jiang Hanying turned off the flashlight on her phone. The way this person left a trail made things easier for her; she could find out which room he was in without even looking, just by the smell of blood.

"Walk."

This time, she walked along the wall for less than five minutes before the smell of blood disappeared. Jiang Hanying stopped and reached out to touch the doorknob beside her.

It's locked, as expected.

The smell of blood wafted up from beneath my feet.

She looked down and squatted down, and saw a small strip of cloth stained with blood struggling to stick out from the gap between the door and the floor. She reached out and tugged at it.

Separated by just one door, the man loosened his grip, watched as the strip of cloth was pulled out, gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and got up to pry open the door.

Hearing the noise coming from inside the door, Jiang Hanying glanced at the strip of cloth in her hand and gestured for Qin Che to wait quietly.

After about five minutes, the door finally clicked open a crack.

Jiang Hanying pushed her way in and slipped inside.

Qin Che quickly followed.

"You are here."

"You performed very well just now!"

"Thank you for the compliment. Without further ado, the woman you're looking for should be in Section A, but I'm not sure which room she's in. This is Section B. Both Section A and Section B are key monitoring areas, with a guardhouse on each side of the corridor. They're guarded 24 hours a day, and if they hear even the slightest noise, the nearest security guard can come over to check the situation within three minutes."

"This is divided into intensive supervision and ordinary supervision?"

The man sneered, "Of course. The so-called 'intensive monitoring' is actually for people like me. I wasn't crazy when I came in, but I'm being driven crazy little by little. I'm not the only one who wanted to escape; everyone in the other rooms around here thought about it, but they all succeeded..." He paused, "Only after passing several rounds of tests and confirming that you've truly become insane can you be transferred to Zone C or Zone D. The monitoring there isn't as strict as here, and escaping would probably be relatively easier, but I can't guarantee whether I can pass several rounds of tests, and I don't want to wait any longer."

Jiang Hanying wasn't curious about how the man got in; she only asked what she cared about most: "Do you know the way to Area A?"

The man hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "More or less."

"lead the way!"

The man couldn't help but glance at Jiang Hanying again.

This girl is really direct!
However, such a direct approach is predicated on absolute self-confidence.

Perhaps, with the help of this person, he might actually succeed in escaping this time!
The man's spirits lifted, and without further ado, he said, "Come with me."

With a man leading the way this time, Jiang Hanying and Qin Che no longer had to wander around aimlessly like headless flies. After passing through several corridors and going up and down a few steps, they said, "This is Area A."

Jiang Hanying and Qin Che looked around in unison.

Well, I couldn't tell the difference between this area and Zone B they came from before.

Perhaps they passed through here when they were wandering around!
Qin Che couldn't help but complain, "This building is like a maze, there aren't even any signs."

"Actually, it's also a way to prevent people from escaping. Unless you have a very good sense of direction and memory, you have to live here for a while to figure out the pattern. The first task for those who come here to work is to memorize the map of the building. If a newcomer doesn't have someone familiar with the place to guide them, they might get lost and wander around for a whole day."

Jiang Hanying and Qin Che exchanged a silent glance. Were they talking about them?
However, if the purpose of coming in wasn't to find someone, and there was really no way to find the way out, Jiang Hanying would have a solution.

At worst, we can just do what we did when we came in: find a room with a window on the building's surface, open the window, and jump out.

Whether Qin Che would dare to jump with her was not a question she needed to consider.

There is a door every three meters on both sides of the corridor.

Numbers were also engraved on the door.

However, upon closer inspection, it is still possible to discern that not every room is occupied.

Some door handles have a smooth feel and look like they've been turned a lot.

Some of the door handles were rusty and dusty, clearly indicating they were unused.

Looking down this corridor, there are probably only six or seven rooms occupied.

But which room contains the person they're looking for is still a matter of luck!

"Then let's go with room number 3." Jiang Hanying said, walking to the door of room number 3 and pointing to the lock: "Pry it open!"

Man: "Are you sure?"

If they pry open the wrong door, and the people inside make noise, whether intentionally or unintentionally, attracting the nearby security guards, they won't have as much hiding place as they did in the toilet!
Even if he pretends to be stupid, it won't work then.

"Since there's no better way, let's try our luck."

man:"……"

Qin Che: "..."

Meeting the somewhat speechless looks from the two, Jiang Hanying said sincerely, "I think I'm pretty lucky."

The man took a deep breath and decided to go all out.

He reached out and pulled a thin metal piece from somewhere on his body; he had used this little thing to pry open the lock on his room door.

At first, he didn't know how to pick locks, but after being locked up for a long time, he was forced to develop some useful skills.

It's easier to pry it open from the outside.

This time, it only took less than three minutes for the door lock to be pried open. Jiang Hanying saw the man nod at her and pushed the door open to go inside.

The next second, he tilted his head to the left and raised his right hand to catch a plastic toothbrush cup that was thrown at him.

The man who was about to follow them in and Qin Che: "..."

So fierce!

Fortunately, they weren't the first to go in.

Otherwise, if they were caught off guard by such a sudden attack, they definitely wouldn't have been able to dodge it.

Although toothbrushes aren't heavy, they can still hurt quite a bit if they hit your face.

More importantly, it's embarrassing!
Fortunately, the woman sitting cross-legged on the bed did not make a sound. She just stared coldly at the three people who entered through her messy hair.

Solid ice rose up all around.

Jiang Hanying tossed the cup onto the table and walked towards the woman, taking out her phone as she went. Just as she reached the woman, she opened a picture of Xiao Ruyi and held the phone screen up to her. "Do you recognize this child?"

The woman slowly moved her eyes, finally fixing them on the phone screen.

His eyes suddenly lit up.

Immediately afterwards, he lunged forward to snatch the phone away.

Jiang Hanying didn't stop her; she let go of the phone, and it fell into the woman's thin hand.

Tears fell onto the screen and exploded.

Jiang Hanying watched as she held her phone to her face, tears streaming down her cheeks. After a few seconds, she took a deep breath and looked away.

"See? I told you I was lucky."
