Gentle Sleep Instructor
Chapter 860 Happy Valentine's Day!
In this kind of environment, her mind was in chaos, and everything that happened gave her a feeling of unreality. She wasn't even sure if the light just now was her hallucination.
However, Jiang Cheng seemed to understand something. He clenched his name tag and said, "It seems this name tag is an important prop in the mission. I think Yuan Xiaotian's corpse came back to life because the name tag was taken away."
Hearing that the strange things happening to the corpse were related to the name tag, Lin Muwan subconsciously became nervous, her eyes looking at her chest with some fear.
On the left side of that soft area, there was also a name tag, belonging to her.
Each of them had a corresponding name tag. Although there was no name on it, there were corresponding numbers, and each one was unique.
However, Captain Xia had analyzed before that there might be some other information on the name tag, but they couldn't see it for the time being.
Jiang Cheng noticed Lin Muwan's gaze and explained, "The name tag itself is not a problem. On the contrary, if we lose our name tag, we will be in big trouble."
"It..." Jiang Cheng stared at Yuan Xiaotian's name tag in his hand, then glanced at his own, his tone not very certain, "It's more like a symbolic meaning, for example, symbolizing our existence, a certain kind of existence, can you understand?"
From her expression, it could be seen that Lin Muwan didn't understand. She was a very honest girl.
Jiang Cheng didn't plan to explain too much to her, after all, he couldn't explain it clearly himself.
More of it was just a vague feeling.
Compared to this, what made him more uncomfortable was that he always had a strange, unexplainable thought in his heart. He seemed to have overlooked a very important clue.
He had overlooked it from the beginning, and the strange thing was, no matter how he recalled, it seemed there was always a barrier-like thing, preventing him from delving further.
His head was a little sore. Jiang Cheng put away Yuan Xiaotian's name tag, and stretched out two fingers, gently rubbing the position of his temples.
He had always had migraine headaches, which would flare up when he overused his brain, or tried hard to think about or recall something.
"Mr. Jiang." Lin Muwan wrote in her notebook, "Are you okay?"
Raising his head to meet a pair of concerned eyes, Jiang Cheng calmed his mind and forced a reassuring smile on her face. "I'm fine." He glanced around and said softly, "Let's go, we need to leave this place."
Out of caution, Jiang Cheng chose to change direction and head towards the other side of the safety exit along the corridor.
It was relatively quiet around, even if they lightened their footsteps, their footsteps were still obvious. Perhaps there was a part of psychological effect, and it even felt like it echoed far away in the dim corridor.
Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened this time. It was only when passing near the elevator that Jiang Cheng stopped.
Looking at the elevator, his pupils couldn't help but shrink. The elevator was running, and a red number 9 was displayed on it.
Soon, it changed to 8.
The elevator was descending. Jiang Cheng had just grabbed Lin Muwan's arm when the number changed to 7.
It was their current floor!
Lin Muwan's face was pale. Her first reaction was the same as Jiang Cheng's. Something was coming down from upstairs, coming for them!
But what was surprising was that the elevator didn't stop on the 7th floor, but continued down. Jiang Cheng, who had originally planned to run away, also stopped.
Until the elevator stopped, showing that it was stopped on the first floor.
Jiang Cheng's eyes became strange. According to his understanding, the killer demon, or the controlled Yuan Xiaotian, didn't seem like the type to take the elevator directly to the 1st floor.
"It's..." Jiang Cheng's face changed, and he exclaimed in his heart, "The person in the elevator is Lin Muyun!"
As soon as this guess appeared, Jiang Cheng felt that the possibility was very high.
Choosing to take the elevator in this situation seemed like a stupid choice, but considering Lin Muyun's current situation, Jiang Cheng felt that this was precisely his clever and decisive point.
He had witnessed Xia Qiang's tragic death, and had a deeper understanding of the terror and weirdness of the killer demon.
He understood that even someone of Xia Qiang's level would die when facing the killer demon, let alone himself.
It was impossible for him to walk to the 1st floor of the building and leave here alive just by relying on himself.
The deep corridor, the dark safety exit, and the surrounding closed doors were all fraught with dangers.
So he chose the fastest way.
Take the elevator.
"It's not that thing, it's my brother!" Lin Muwan also realized, and a line of words quickly appeared in her notebook.
The lines revealed deep concern.
Lin Muyun's actions would definitely attract the killer demon and Yuan Xiaotian's attention, and even lead them down, which was temporarily a good thing for Jiang Cheng and the two of them.
Jiang Cheng led Lin Muwan, and the two quickly came to the other side of the safety exit.
After a simple investigation, the two quickly went downstairs.
Not sure if the killer demon had temporarily let them go, even the fog in the safety exit was much thinner.
At the corner between the 7th and 6th floors, Jiang Cheng stopped. This side of the wall was empty.
There were no windows.
And the two sides of the building were roughly the same, so... the window they saw before was indeed fake!
Seeing this scene, Lin Muwan's breathing became rapid.
Jiang Cheng started moving again, urging Lin Muwan to say, "Let's go, don't stop."
Carefully all the way, they finally arrived on the first floor. In front of them was the safety door on the first floor. As long as they opened it and walked out, the outside was the lobby.
Things were smoother than expected, but Jiang Cheng didn't feel any joy in his heart. He could predict that the last short distance of dozens of meters was the difficulty of hell.
He carefully pulled the safety door, only opening a little bit of a crack, and he was relieved when he heard that it didn't make much noise.
He squatted down slightly, leaned behind the door, and looked out through the crack.
Soon, a softness pressed against his back.
Jiang Cheng knew that Lin Muwan was worried about her brother, so he had to squat down and make room for Lin Muwan above.
Lin Muwan couldn't wait to put her little face up and looked out the door with a nervous face.
She and Jiang Cheng were one up and one down, and Lin Muwan's chin was almost resting on top of Jiang Cheng's head. At first glance, it was actually a bit cute.
The lobby was relatively dim, but it was much clearer than upstairs. Light came in through the transparent glass curtain wall.
Holding their breath, the two's gazes swept over the lobby inch by inch. Almost at the same time, the two's eyes suddenly fixed on a spot.
There was a row of tables placed against the wall, and nearby were several large bookshelves used for decoration. Most of the shelves were filled with books.
And under one of the tables in that row, someone was squatting.
