If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

Chapter 557 The situation on the other side (34)

The Pearl Tower alone has hundreds of floors. As the tallest building on the Bund in the coastal city, its stairs almost look like the Tower of Babylon depicted in mythology, or the Kalin Tower in "Dragon Ball". If you want to climb it, It would take several days to climb the tower day and night. Although the Pearl Tower is not so exaggerated, in reality it can be regarded as a level where just looking at the depth of the corridor can make people weak in the legs.

At this time, Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang were walking down the long spiral staircase. The black corridor was like a double helix made of bases. Looking up and down, it was dark. Occasionally, they passed by two white emergency lights to illuminate it. The two of them looked confused.

Neither of them spoke. Only Lu Mingfei's footsteps sounded in the corridor. Su Xiaoqiang took off her high heels to walk easier, and the sound made by her bare feet on the ground was slightly quieter. All she could think about was the corridor outside the rooftop hall just now. The scene I saw in the movie, the rows of lost innocents, the helpless girl in the lead.

Chen Wenwen. There was no doubt that it was Chen Wenwen. Neither Lu Mingfei nor Su Xiaoqiang could admit their mistake. The girl CK had not found now appeared in front of them, but in an extremely bad form.

The two of them couldn't save Chen Wenwen. This was a fact. The "waiters" guarding the left and right sides of the team just gave them a sense of oppression that made them completely speechless. They stood frozen in cold sweat and watched the team leave them. After entering the hall and locking the door, they couldn't even go back. They could only stand in the corridor for a while before they ended up in the current situation.

"Is it really okay for us to be like this?" Lu Mingfei wanted to ask, but he couldn't ask. He had no position and was not qualified to ask.

If not, what can they do? Should they rush back to the lobby without being able to contact the only security guard, CK? And then, under the surveillance of the group of "waiters", bring the two of them in together? They had long sensed that something was wrong with this press conference, and no one knew what would happen if they stayed any longer.

Due to emotions and reasons, it was the most rational and correct choice for him and Su Xiaoqiang to leave. It wasn't him who refused to save Chen Wenwen, it was really not him who refused to save her! He turned to look at Su Xiaoqiang aside, only to find that Su Xiaoqiang was also looking at him. He seemed to have guessed the ideological struggle in his mind, and his expression was a bit complicated and bitter.

"Just now, you saw what she looked like." Su Xiaoqiang said.

Although the pair of eyes were thin, they already had light golden eyes.

Lu Mingfei's heart throbbed hard, as if he had been pinched hard by a hand. It hurt. His legs going down the stairs were a little soft, and his right hand couldn't help but touch the handrail to support his body.

"It's not hopeless." Su Xiaoqiang lowered his head and glanced at the abyss-like corridor outside the handrail and said, "The communication above was cut off. It should be because the organizer has turned on the signal jammer. It's our monthly exam, first model, and second model. The equipment used in schools at that time was not new at all. We might be able to restore the signal and contact CK by walking a little further down."

"Will she be asked to rescue Wenwen again then?" Lu Mingfei said.

"Is it you who called us Wenwen?" Su Xiaoqiang said. This fierce blow made the boy a little embarrassed. Looking at his appearance, the little goddess shook her head and said, "It's not too late to call after we are saved. With the grace of saving life, , Literary girl should be able to repay you with her life."

What a great person to repay with his own life!

Is this really popular among girls nowadays? Did you and Lin Nian have any chance of repaying the favor with your own body? Maybe you have secretly repaid the favor after such a long time. Lu Mingfei's original thoughts of guilt and sadness were suddenly taken astray. Su Xiaoqiang glanced at him and said, "Don't think wrongly. Repaying someone with one's own body also depends on the situation. I haven't seen that in ancient times, being saved by a scholar meant giving one's body to him, but being saved by a butcher meant being like a cow and a horse? What do you think tonight? Will Chen Wenwen be a cow or a horse for you in the future, or will she pledge her body to you?"

Lu Mingfei wanted to say that the two were essentially the same. After all, the role of oxen and horses was to plow the land and gallop, but this was too boring and he could have done it for nothing with Lin Nian. He was really a bit confused in front of the little goddess. Unable to speak.

"Find CK first. It's not that we have given up on Chen Wenwen, but we really can't save her now. If we foolishly followed her in, we might have been trapped ourselves. We were lucky to have escaped early. Now we can find a way to find a solution after meeting CK. , at least now we can be sure that Chen Wenwen is not dead. As long as the person is not dead, there is a chance to save her. Even if she saves a fool, she can still fill the house, right?" Su Xiaoqiang said.

Lu Mingfei wondered if this line was a little too inappropriate. "Little Goddess, you are not usually such a casual person," but when he turned to look at the other party, he found that the other party was also staring at him, with some worry in his eyes. Only then did he understand that Su Xiaoqiang was not awakening to some passive aura like him, which became whiter and whiter the more nervous he became, but was trying to comfort him in some suitable way, fearing that he would blame himself too much and collapse.

When ordinary girls encounter this kind of situation, they would probably have lost their minds and become so frightened that they could not walk without screaming. But Su Xiaoqiang actually still has the thought to care about her companions. I didn’t expect that the little goddess who is usually so proud that her tail would be raised would actually still do it. With such a caring and considerate side, it’s no wonder that Lin Nian was so fascinated by her that even a girl from North High School refused to confess her love to him. There was such a kindhearted and kind-hearted rich woman who wanted to trade for him. Say no.

Lu Mingfei patted his cheek and threw away all his other thoughts and looked down at the endless stairs. The further he went down, the more he would have the illusion that they were not walking from the top of the tower, but from the ground. Starting from the ground, they began to walk deeper and deeper into the deep darkness. There was something dangerous hidden at the end, waiting for them to approach.

Normally, he wouldn't be afraid of complaining that the stairs were too long and hurting his knee synovial membrane. But today's situation is different. After seeing those thrilling scenes at the press conference that reshaped his outlook on life, the process of going down the stairs now feels like After watching "The Ring", I went to the bathroom in the dark. The most outrageous thing was that the light in the bathroom was broken. I wanted to open the bathroom door and defecate while singing Phoenix Legend loudly.

Even if there is a little goddess by his side, it can't reduce his fear. After all, walking at night and being afraid of ghosts can only scare yourself, but there are really "ghosts" hiding in this tower today. Who knows how many ghosts the organizers have brought with them? A monster named "Deadpool" came over, and he even suspected that the "bad news" CK said before cutting off contact was related to this incident. Now there is a question mark about CK's safety.

The more he thought about Lu Mingfei, the more cowardly he became. He had to hold on to the slide when going down the stairs. In fact, Su Xiaoqiang was not much better than him, but this girl had always been stronger. Lu Mingfei didn't even lie down to die, so she was even less able. Perhaps showing timidity, I gritted my teeth as I walked down the stairs with my high heels, and I had to be careful not to step on broken glass or anything like that.

Suddenly, Su Xiaoqiang, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and then stood motionless, without even taking a breath. This stop scared Lu Mingfei, thinking she had bumped into something in front. He froze in place and dared not move, fearing that he would be disturbed by something unknown hidden in the darkness.

The silence in the corridor was terrifying. After the footsteps disappeared, the only sound was his own heartbeat and breathing. He stared at Su Xiaoqiang's back in front and found that the other person seemed to be petrified and motionless. His heartbeat was also fast. It slowly began to speed up, and adrenaline mixed with sweat was continuously secreted from the armpits.

If it were in a horror movie, Su Xiaoqiang would suddenly turn around at this time, the whites of his eyes would disappear and become pitch black, his mouth would keep moving and make weird sounds, and he would pounce on Lu Mingfei and eat him alive, but according to today's plot, it should be Su Xiaoqiang. I met a Deadpool who was going upstairs. They were in a stalemate. Once the balance was broken, the Deadpool would pounce on him and eat Su Xiaoqiang alive first, and then eat Lu Mingfei alive. No matter what, he couldn't escape. Skinned alive!

During this period of crazy thoughts, the more Su Xiaoqiang remained motionless in the dark corridor, the sadder the expression of Lu Mingfei standing behind him became. He was sure that they had really hit a ghost, otherwise it would not have been possible for this girl to take such a long time. Not a word said, not a movement made!

For a moment, Lu Mingfei closed his mouth tightly and did not dare to say a word. Like Su Xiaoqiang in front of him, he was frozen in place like a wooden man. He did not dare to sweat for fear of falling to the ground and making a sound that would disturb the things hidden in the darkness.

What should I do now? Should I just break the balance and turn around and run upward with a scream?

But can he run away? They have already gone down more than ten floors. If they want to get back to the corridor, let alone Deadpool, anyone with enough physical strength can catch up with Lu Mingfei, who has weak legs. What about the man who rushed forward to block Su Xiaoqiang's knife today? In this way, he could still gain a reputation for heroic sacrifice. On his death anniversary next year, Lin Nian might pay a visit to Su Xiaoqiang's grave for his own sake, and he would be able to burn some paper money for himself. It wouldn't be a huge loss at all.

No, wait.

Lu Mingfei, who was almost desperate, suddenly thought of something, and the desire to survive came out vigorously. If he remembered correctly, Su Xiaoqiang should have a special skill called "Shelter". He always thought that this was Su Xiaoqiang's trump card, but he didn't say it. I didn’t even ask, now it seems that in this suspected crisis moment, should she reveal her trump card to save her life? It seems that they may not die tonight.

Just when he had this idea, a slender white hand stretched out from behind his shoulder and gently placed it on his shoulder. When the weight and peripheral vision caught sight of this hand, Lu Mingfei jumped up like a monkey who lit a fuse with a scream that was loud enough for his fellow whales to hear. When he landed, his legs slipped and he sat down on the steps, causing him to twist. His face was grinning.

"Why such a big reaction? Brother, do you think I look like a ghost?" On the upper step behind Lu Mingfei, a little boy in a suit and evening dress stretched out his right hand and looked down at Lu Mingfei and said inexplicably. Only when he caught the other person's gaze did he slowly reveal a smile, "Good evening, brother."
