Thinking of this, Armstrong felt a lingering fear.

However, he still could not help but ask, “maybe he just happened to be resting halfway through his workout?”

After this question was raised, the others looked at Li Zhuo.

Li Zhuo’s gaze was still calm. “It’s the same if he really just happened to be resting halfway through his workout. It would be the same for the second situation.”

“Do you think he won’t hear my footsteps when he’s resting quietly?”

“…” Armstrong did not say anything this time.

Although it was Li Zhuo’s footsteps that exposed everyone’s whereabouts, he did not have any reason to blame Li Zhuo.

After all, if it was not for Li Zhuo, he might have directly pushed open the door of the gym. He did not dare to be sure what he would encounter at that time.

At this moment, Li Zhuo looked at Alan. “Alan, come with me to a place. I need your help.”

With that said, he took the initiative to walk out of the room.

Armstrong was silent for a moment when he heard this. He had already placed his hand in the pocket of his prison uniform, waiting for Alan to ask him for money at any time.

However, what surprised him was that this did not happen.

Alan stood up with a smile and followed Li Zhuo’s footsteps out of the entertainment room. Seeing this scene, Armstrong was slightly stunned.

“Alan actually did not ask for money? What’s going on?”

Alsop looked at Armstrong as if he was looking at a fool and sighed. “Didn’t you notice that this time, when Li Zhuo walked, there was no sound of footsteps at all?”

“He just followed us for a while and he actually learned the skill… I’m afraid there’s no one else in the world who has this kind of learning ability.”

Having said that, Alsop smiled slightly and took out a diet drink from the refrigerator in the recreation room.

She was very clear that Alan was already interested in Li Zhuo.

As for how she knew this… She and Alan had the same feeling.

She was also looking forward to what kind of surprise Li Zhuo’s next move would bring to everyone.

…

Outside the corridor, Allen followed Li Zhuo step by step without any change in expression.

If it was not for the intertwined lights at the top of the corridor that continuously stretched their figures from front to back, perhaps no one would have been able to hear that there was someone walking in the corridor.

“Were you deliberately hiding just now?” Alan suddenly asked.

“Hiding what?”

“The skill of moving silently,” Alan asked directly.

This direct question was like a switch, making Alan spit out a lot of words.

“You said before that you were just an ordinary student, but now you know this special skill. I’m afraid it’s a bit contradictory, right?”

Alan’s words sounded like a question, but in reality, there was no malice in them. His tone was also casual, just like a normal conversation between friends.

Li Zhuo did not seem to panic at Alan’s analysis. As he continued to walk forward, he said in the calmest and most natural tone, “This is what I learned just now.”

“Just now? When?” There was a hint of surprise in Allen’s eyes.

“When we turned back from the gym.”

Hearing Li Zhuo’s words, Alan remembered.

When they went to the gym, Li Zhuo was walking in front, but when they turned back, Li Zhuo was walking behind.

From there to the recreation room… It took about three minutes.

Three minutes was enough for a person to master this skill?

The surprise in Alan’s eyes changed into confusion. One had to know that he had spent two months learning this skill.

Even so, the ‘teacher’ who taught him this skill once said that he learned it very quickly. For a normal person to completely master this ability to the point where they would not make a single mistake, it might take two years.

At that time, Allen still had a trace of pride. However, now, the pride in Allen’s heart had completely disappeared.

This youth in front of him learned faster than him. The prerequisite was that he did not lie.

Just as Alan was thinking about this, Li Zhuo’s footsteps stopped. He pointed to a door beside him. “Open it.”

Allen was slightly stunned, and he could not help but frown. “Do you know what the consequences are?”

“I know, there are no consequences.” Li Zhuo’s tone was still calm.

However, this time, Alan did not immediately carry out the order of this ‘team leader’.

He continued. “You should know what room this is, right?”

“I know, Putnam’s Room.”

“You still want to open it even if you know? If he finds out that someone opened his room, don’t you know the consequences?”

“I said, there won’t be any consequences.”

Li Zhuo’s tone was as calm as the surface of an empty swimming pool, without any ripples.

Alan hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he took out an iron wire from his sleeve and walked to Putnam’s door. He muttered, “if anything happens, I will immediately betray you.”

“Don’t worry, nothing will happen.” There was even a hint of a smile in Li Zhuo’s tone. This was a sign of confidence.

In just three seconds, the door lock was unlocked, and Alan stepped aside from the door. The meaning of this action was obvious. He did not intend to enter the room.

After all, why would a thief want to anger a killer?

Picking the lock was not a particularly difficult task. An ordinary thief could take a little more time to open it, so Alan could be cleared of the crime of picking the lock. He did not have to worry about Putnam’s revenge.

If something really happened, he could just push all the blame onto Li Zhuo.

However, just as Alan was waiting for Li Zhuo to make a move, Li Zhuo stood outside the door and did not make a move.

Alan looked at the youth in front of him curiously, as if he wanted to see through the other party’s thoughts. Unfortunately, he did not have the ability of Alsop.

After all, he was not a swindler, he was just a thief. Even the world’s top thieves could not do this.

After waiting for about ten seconds, Li Zhuo finally stepped into the room.

“Come in, It’s okay.”

Alan curled his lips and asked, “How can you be sure that it’s okay? What if Putnam finds out?”

Although he said so, his body still obediently moved from the door to the position of the door, so that it was more convenient to observe Li Zhuo’s movements.

Li Zhuo glanced at the layout of the room and explained, “I looked at the door just now. The floor of the room was wiped clean and there was no dust left.”

“I can see that Putnam likes to be clean, but this way, we won’t leave any footprints.”

Hearing Li Zhuo’s words, Alan was slightly stunned.

Li Zhuo had not turned on the lights in the room just now.

Just by relying on the lights in the corridor, could he confirm whether there was dust in the room?

What exactly were this kid’s brain and eyes made of?
