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 a very 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 supervision of those "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's not that he refused to save Chen Wenwen, it was really not that he 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 the school 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, how can I repay you with my 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 give you my life?"
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 little bit 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 she 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 scared 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. Refuse.
Lu Mingfei patted his cheeks and threw away his random thoughts, looking down at the endless staircase. The more he walked down, the more he had an illusion, as if they were not walking from the top of the tower, but from the ground to the deep darkness further down, and there was something dangerous waiting for them at the end.
If it were normal, he would not be afraid and would at most complain that the stairs were too long and hurt his knee synovium, but today's situation was different. After seeing those thrilling scenes at the press conference and reshaping his worldview, the process of going down the stairs now was like watching "Midnight Ring" and then going to the toilet in the dark. The most outrageous thing was that the light in the toilet was broken, and he wanted to open the toilet door and poop while singing Phoenix Legend loudly.
Even with the little goddess by his side, his fear could not be reduced. After all, walking at night and being afraid of ghosts can only scare yourself, but today there is really a "ghost" hiding in this tower. God knows how many monsters called "Deadpool" the organizers brought here. He even suspected that the "bad news" CK said before the contact was cut off was related to this matter. Now there is a question mark whether CK is safe or not.
The more he thought about Lu Mingfei, the more he became cowardly. He had to hold the slide when going down the stairs. In fact, Su Xiaoqiang was not much better than him, but this girl has always been strong. Lu Mingfei didn't lie down and wait for death, so she was even less likely to show her cowardice. She went down the stairs with her high heels and gritted her teeth, and had to be careful not to step on broken glass or something under her feet.
Suddenly, Su Xiaoqiang, who was walking in front, stopped and stood there motionless, without even breathing. This stop scared Lu Mingfei a lot. He thought she had encountered something in front of him, and he froze in place and dared not move, for fear of disturbing something hidden in the dark.
The corridor was terribly quiet. After the footsteps disappeared, only his own heartbeat and breathing were the most piercing. He stared at Su Xiaoqiang's back and found that he really seemed to be petrified and motionless. His heartbeat began to accelerate slowly, and adrenaline mixed with sweat continued to secrete from his armpits.
If it were a horror movie, Su Xiaoqiang should suddenly turn his head at this time, his eyes would disappear completely and become pitch black, his mouth would keep moving and make strange noises, and he would pounce on Lu Mingfei to eat him alive. But according to today's plot, Su Xiaoqiang should have met a Deadpool who was going upstairs. They were in a stalemate. Once the balance was broken, the Deadpool would pounce on Su Xiaoqiang and eat him alive first, and then eat Lu Mingfei alive. No matter what, they could not escape being eaten alive!
During this time of crazy racing of thoughts, the more Su Xiaoqiang didn't move in the dark corridor, the more miserable Lu Mingfei's expression standing behind him became. He was sure that they really encountered a ghost, otherwise it would be impossible for the girl to not say a word or make a move for such a long time!
For a moment, Lu Mingfei closed his mouth tightly and dared not say a word. He stood there like a wooden man like Su Xiaoqiang in front of him. He didn't dare to sweat for fear of falling to the ground and making a sound to alarm the things hidden in the darkness.
What should he do now? Should he break his balance and scream and turn his head to run up?
But can he run away? They have already gone down more than ten floors. If they want to go back to the corridor, let alone Deadpool, anyone with enough physical strength can catch up with Lu Mingfei who is weak in legs. Then what if he rushed up to block the knife for Su Xiaoqiang today? In this way, he can at least win the title of heroic sacrifice. Next year, on the anniversary of Su Xiaoqiang's death, Lin Nian may visit Su Xiaoqiang's grave and burn some paper money for himself. It doesn't seem to be a big loss.
No, wait.
Lu Mingfei, who was almost desperate, suddenly thought of something, and the desire to survive was surging. 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 or ask. Now it seems that in this suspected crisis, she should reveal this trump card to save her life? In this way, they don't necessarily die tonight.
Just when he had this thought, a slender white hand stretched out from behind his shoulder and gently rested on his shoulder. When he saw this hand with his weight and peripheral vision, Lu Mingfei jumped up directly like a flying monkey with a high-decibel scream that could only be heard by his whale companions. When he landed, his legs slipped and he sat on the steps with his buttocks, which made his twisted face grin.
"Why such a big reaction, brother, do you think I look like a ghost?" On the steps above Lu Mingfei, a little boy in a suit and evening gown looked down at Lu Mingfei with his right hand stretched out inexplicably, and then slowly smiled when he met his gaze, "Good evening, brother."
