In the darkness, there was no phone, and the pointer on the watch did not have the design of Ye Guang. Xu Yi did not know how long he had spent in the pipe, but he could still see a little bit of light. He was finally about to reach the exit of the long passageway.
"Hello."
When Xu Yi stuck his head out from the passage, a voice suddenly sounded beside his ear.
"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah ~", he did not expect that someone would be waiting for him at the cleaner's exit. Xu Yi's hands that were holding onto the edge of the door relaxed due to fright, and his body slid down the pipe.
Bang. The falling Xu Yi's head hit the iron wall of the passage ruthlessly, but this time, he cleverly used his feet to support the wall of the cleaner's passage. His body formed a "big" shape in the passage, causing him to stop sliding down.
Discovered? What should he do? Xu Yi's mind suddenly went blank, he had no plans for his next move. They were going to catch him soon! Right now, this was the only thought left in Xu Yi's mind.
But no one came to arrest him. Just like that, Xu Yi was stuck in the passage, quietly waiting for something from above.
Time passed second by second, and not a single sound could be heard from the passageway. Was that "hey" just now an illusion? Xu Yi could not help but become suspicious. He had been in the dark passage for too long, and he had expended too much energy. In addition to his physical fatigue, exhaustion, and mental stress, it was also reasonable for him to have hallucinations.
"I must be hallucinating," Xu Yi said to himself in his heart. "If someone discovers me, there's no reason for them to not come and capture me."
He could not continue to be suspicious. The longer he stayed here, the faster he had to think of a way to find his sister's corpse and return back to where he came from. It was just the first third of the plan, but sneaking into the building had already wasted all of his energy. As for how he was going to find his sister's corpse, he didn't even have a clue now, and the final part of the plan was to return home, so there was no need to talk about it anymore.
He could only take things one step at a time. Xu Yi, who was a university student with not much experience in society, only had this little advantage. When danger arrived, he could always respond to it with the attitude of someone who was at ease in the face of danger. At most, he would just get caught. He was already the loneliest person in the world without his sister. A person with nothing to lose would not be afraid of wearing shoes. Xu Yi snickered at himself.
What else is there to linger for? Suddenly, the cold and handsome face of Bai Lu appeared in Xu Yi's mind. What are you thinking about! Xu Yi shook his head in the passage, and started to climb up again. Bai Lu was not someone that he could pursue, Xu Yi knew this very well. Perhaps the "you can look from afar and not be insulted" ice-cold beauty that the boys often said was the kind of person like Bai Lu? However, Xu Yi suddenly felt that the ice beauty's evaluation of Bai Lu was not very fair. Although it seemed difficult to get close to her, in reality, Bai Lu was still a very courteous person. From some small details, Xu Yi could tell that she was very considerate towards her friends.
Enough! Xu Yi wished that he could slap himself in the face. Why was he still thinking about such things at such a critical moment? Right now, it was most likely impossible for him to leave this place. Even if he escaped, since he dared to come to the Special Faculty to steal the corpse, his future days would not be easy. Thinking about it this way, the distance between him and Bai Lu became even further. Sure enough, beauties have to be compatible with heroes. Only someone like my Big Brother Zhou can be compatible with a beauty like Bai Lu.
Xu Yi suddenly felt that he had more strength now. His hands moved faster as he quickly climbed to the exit of the tunnel.
Sure enough, there was no one. Xu Yi carefully stuck out half of his head from the tunnel. In front of him was what seemed to be a storage room, and there was a path that could not be described as wide enough to connect the cleaner's entrance and a door marked with a safe exit. On both sides were blue coloured iron frame s, and on the shelves were metal products that Xu Yi could not identify.
Xu Yi withdrew his head back and listened for a while. After confirming that there were no unusual sounds coming from outside, he stuck his head out once again and crawled out from the cleaner's passage.
"Phew –" Xu Yi let out a long sigh of relief as he lifted his hand and looked at his watch. It was now 8: 34, and those who came earlier had probably started work already. Damn it, Xu Yi sat on the ground in a dejected manner, I'm really useless.
If he was the one who died, Xu Yi would have guessed that his big sister wouldn't let his little brother's body end up like this. Unfortunately, his strong and genuine big sister had died, and his useless little brother was still living on in the world. If you can't even protect your sister's body, Xu Yi, you are truly useless.
Xu Yi was paralyzed on the ground, he covered his face with his palm. Now that he was at the top of the building, it was likely that the employees of the building had already begun working under his feet. If he wanted to find his sister, he would have to wait here until night.
Hunger, fatigue, fatigue — all of these things attacked his body, making his thoughts negative, and also making his mind tired.
Once he had a good night's sleep, he would slowly think about what he should do in the evening. Xu Yi covered his eyes with his arm.
"Hello."
"What the f * ck!" In the midst of his shock, Xu Yi's body fiercely bounced up from the ground like a spring. Like a fly, he ran forward a few steps before realizing something was wrong, and then turned around and ran in the direction of the cleaner's path. Just as his head was reaching the tunnel, his entire body was about to follow suit.
Xu Yi suddenly heard a "gege" sound of laughter. It was the sound of a little girl's laughter.
He raised his head and looked up at the ceiling above his head. A little loli that only looked to be eleven or twelve years old floated above his head. His body was still covered in a faint blue light.
"Oh my god, it's a ghost." Xu Yi's mouth was agape and his legs were weak. If it was a human, he could still escape. However, if his opponent was a ghost, then there was no need to talk about it.
In Xu Yi's mind, he suddenly recalled the various legends that he had discovered while he was searching for the "Special Faculty". Some say that the technology here far surpasses that of this era, while others say that the people here are cultivators who specifically deal with ghosts and monsters. Xu Yi was naturally inclined to believe the former, but looking at it now, it was very likely that the truth was the latter.
The little loli floating in the air slowly descended towards Xu Yi.
