Chapter 289 You are very smart
Although the passage was not as narrow as the morgue, it was not very large either.
The group could only squat and move forward in the passage.
After walking for a long time, Zhou Ze, who was at the front, finally stopped.
His voice sounded a little trembling, and he turned his head to look behind him.
When Shen Yao came into the passage, he didn't know where he got the flashlight from, and now the light was shining on Zhou Ze.
The walls of the passage were covered with mud, and Zhou Ze looked particularly disheveled now.
He raised his hand to block the glaring light and moved to the side.
“There is no road ahead.”
As he finished speaking, Shen Yao raised his wrist and shone the flashlight upwards.
A manhole cover.
"You try pushing it." He raised his hand to wipe his nose and looked towards Zhou Ze.
He was at the back now, and the passage was so narrow that it was unlikely for him to squeeze through.
Zhou nodded and raised his hand to try to overturn the manhole cover.
Perhaps because it had not been opened for a long time, the manhole cover seemed very sturdy and Zhou Ze tried hard to push it open for a long time but failed.
Behind Zhou Ze was Shen Lan. Seeing that he couldn't open it for a while, she couldn't help but raise her hand to help.
After the two of them pushed together for a while, the manhole cover finally loosened.
As the manhole cover slowly moved to the side, I finally saw the outside world.
A little dim light shone on the manhole cover.
Leaning my head upwards and looking, it seemed to be a narrow alley. There was no light in the alley, and that little light came from the street next door.
Zhou Ze climbed out first, followed by Shen Lan, and then Zhou Youyou...
After everyone climbed out of the passage, Gu Chaoxi looked around.
Not far away, flames shot up into the sky, and there seemed to be voices of people shouting in the silent night.
She frowned: "That's a nursing home."
Pei Yan raised his hand and gently placed it on her lower back, then moved closer to her.
"Well, maybe we should think about what we should do tonight."
Normally, they should not be able to leave the scope of the sanatorium, but now it seems that their plane is more than just a small place in the sanatorium.
"Go back and have a look."
She wanted to know whether Jing Li in the story was dead or not.
"it is good."
Several people walked through the alley in the direction of the fire.
Not every alley here has street lights, only occasionally.
Fortunately, the flashlight in Shen Yao's hand was quite strong, so he could lead a few people walking safely on the road.
They walked around the sanatorium for about ten minutes and arrived at the main entrance.
No one came to put out the fire, the street in front of the sanatorium was empty, and even the shops across the street were closed.
The world seemed to have quieted down and watched the closing of the sanatorium, and no one cared about its existence.
Gu Chaoxi looked inside the gate and saw that the tall locust tree was now full of flames.
Scattered branches fell from the trees with crackling sounds.
Qin Wei raised his hands in front of his eyes to block some of the firelight.
"They should have all been buried in the sea of fire."
Some people were silent.
Gu Chaoxi just stared inside and didn't say anything.
After a while, a red figure was seen staggering out from inside.
However, the man stopped when he walked into the yard, and instead looked up at the locust tree, as if he was reminiscing about something.
"Isn't that Jing Li?"
Zhou Youyou covered his mouth and pointed inside in disbelief.
It was indeed Jing Li. She was now wearing that red dress and there seemed to be scratches on her body. No one knew what she had done.
The fire in the tree was so fierce that it seemed to be roasting her.
The firelight reflected on her face, and she seemed completely unaware of how dangerous it was to be standing under a burning tree.
There were also branches breaking off from the tree. Jing Li lowered her head and smiled bitterly, then raised her hand and gently placed it against the trunk.
She leaned forward, pressed her cheek against it, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye.
Perhaps, her life was wrong from the very beginning.
The tree trunk slowly broke and fell straight down from above, blocking the view of people outside.
In the flames, not a single detail of the sanatorium could be seen.
Thinking of this, Gu Chaoxi turned around without saying a word and kicked the door of the shop without any hesitation.
"Bang!"
The huge noise made people tremble all over.
She kicked again, successfully kicked the door open, and walked straight inside.
After Qiang Shang found the switch, he turned on the light.
Looking around, in addition to the goods they can see during the day, there are counters inside.
There is a staircase through a small door on the side.
Pei Yan followed and asked: "Want to go up and take a look?"
Although he felt that there would be nothing to gain, since the situation had already become like this, it was understandable to go and take a look.
The two walked up the stairs and found the second floor was empty.
Not just empty in the literal sense.
If the shops on the first floor are relatively well constructed, the entire second floor is no different from the Maopei House.
There was a simple bed on the ground in the middle, with a few pieces of paper and pens scattered around the bed.
It seems that there were people here not long ago.
Pei Yan walked towards the bed, squatted down and picked up the paper on the ground.
There is something written on it.
"You are very smart to find me."
"But I'm not bad. I came here before you found me."
"I guess you will come here tonight, but I will have left by the time you arrive."
"Although I admire your abilities very much, please do not attempt to challenge the other world."
"It's not as simple as you think."
"Maybe we'll meet again next time. I'm looking forward to your performance."
After reading it, Pei Yan couldn't help but sneer.
Gu Chaoxi glanced at it casually, but didn't take it seriously.
"Speaking of which, his situation is similar to ours, so why does he have such a sense of superiority?"
Between the lines, this observer seems to be very proud and satisfied with the inner world, and even has a sense of satisfaction after spying on them.
However, Gu Chaoxi will let him know in the future how ridiculous what he is doing now is.
The two took the things left by the observer and brought them downstairs.
Qin Wei and Shen Yao looked at it and both smiled.
Laughing in anger.
The two of them had been in the other world for quite some time, and now seeing this kind of content, they just wanted to find this person and beat him up.
"Don't be angry yet, there will definitely be opportunities in the future."
Gu Chaoxi lowered his eyes coldly. "The other world, right? Sooner or later, I will overthrow you."
When the day comes when she finds out the truth about the other world, she will never let this ghost thing go.
She lost her brother and now he dares to play tricks on her like this. She has a bad temper.
