There were four of them in the group, and at the moment, each was holding a cell phone and had a flashlight on.

One of the girls held a key in her hand, apparently for the door she was from opening, while the other three were urging her to continue to the next.

“I have to rest for a while, otherwise it will be easy to fail.” The girl with the key said.

The others were anxious: “We’ve been trying for so many days, and finally entered the first floor. If we don’t hurry up and get up there, the patrolling security guards will come in and we’ll be kicked out again.”

“Yes, this hotel is only three floors in total, only two more doors and we’ll reach brother. He’s a few doors away!”

“Think about it guys, everyone has wasted so much time, a whole three days but failed to save brother, if we succeeded in bringing him out …… we are his saviors, we are heroes!”

The more they talked, the more excited the three girls were, and they looked at the person with the key eagerly.

The person with the key was also excited, but she hesitated for a moment and finally shook her head: “Wait for just a little while, I have to take a break.”

The three girls unconsciously pouted their lips in irritation. “Okay, then how long will you rest.”

“Well, I’ll let you know.” The girl with the keys said, “Everyone is tired after walking so far, let’s first sit down.”

She picked up the phone and shone the torchlight around. She saw a sofa on the side and immediately led the other three to go over and sit down.

Coincidentally, the sofa was located opposite Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia’s hideout.

Although the two were not discovered, the distance was so close that they might discover Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia at any moment.

The four girls sat down on the sofa, while the girl holding the key closed her eyes to rest, the other three were full of energy. They excitedly chatted about the bright future after rescuing Ke Chengxuan.

They kept their voices low while chatting, but because the whole blockade area was dead silent, even the smallest sound seemed very loud, so the voices of the three kept echoing on the first floor.

Ji Mingxia took this opportunity to turn his head to look at Yu Ning and whispered, “What do we do? Should we go up first?”

“There’s something strange.” Yu Ning said.

Ji Mingxia looked at him in confusion.

Yu Ning was just about to explain when the three girls stopped chatting and turned to their companion.

“It’s so cold here, and it’s uncomfortable, haven’t you rested yet?”

“Let's quickly save brother and go home early.”

“Yes, we came in cotton clothes but I’m so cold just from sitting here. Brother did not prepare thick clothes so I wonder how he is now ……”

The girl holding the key opened her eyes and looked at her companions helplessly, “I need a little more time.”

“Then how long will it take, give a precise time.” One of them said impatiently.

The girl with the key looked at her companions and whispered, “I think an hour ……”

“An hour?! One hour is enough for us to go in and come back out!”

“This is annoying, if I had known I would have to wait so long, I would have brought some food.”

“It’s been too long, right? Liu Lin, what’s wrong with you, are you deliberately playing with us?”

The three girls couldn’t help but complain.

“If you can’t, just forget it.”

“Why don’t you let me try? I’m sure I’ll last longer than you.” The other girl said, reaching out her hand toward Liu Lin.

Liu Lin, who was holding the key, took one look at her gesture and her face changed on the spot. She hid the key behind her back and shook her head, “No, the key is mine, it only listens to me, don’t even think about it.”

At her words, the atmosphere of the scene immediately underwent a subtle change.

The three girls were silent for a few seconds, and one of them finally snickered, “Liu Lin, no one wants to rob your things, our heart only has brother, it is you dragging your feet and delaying our time, otherwise, who would be willing to join you?”

Liu Lin turned her head and did not speak. After a moment, she took the initiative to get up and said, “Let’s go.”

“Have you rested enough?” One of the girls asked.

“Yeah.” Liu Lin said, walking back to the fire escape door.

Inside the hotel lobby were three doors and two elevator accesses.

Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia entered from the hotel’s main entrance, while Liu Lin and her group came in through the exit door at the back.

At this moment, only the elevators and the door to the fire escape had not been used.

There was no doubt that the elevator was not available, and Liu Lin directly bypassed the elevator and walked to the location of the fire escape door.

It was said that the rescuers fought for days on the first floor but were unable to find access to the second floor, so Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia were also very curious as to why. 

Unfortunately, they had not yet got time to check when they met these fans.

Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia looked at each other, and the two quietly moved out of the corner and stood in a place where they could see what was happening at the fire escape door.

It was clear that the fire escape door was locked, but Liu Lin stood in front of the door, and murmured in a low voice as she inserted the key.

The whole area was quiet, and the three girls did not speak, so although Liu Lin’s murmurs were low, they still echoed in the first floor hall.

“I want to go to the second floor, I want to go to the second floor and see Ke Chengxuan, take us to the second floor …… go to the second floor ……” the more Liu Lin spoke, the more hoarse her voice became, as if there was an invisible force being pulled out of her body.

In the next instant, there was a “click”, and the locked door to the fire escape was opened.

Ji Mingxia immediately widened his eyes: “That key in her hand is …… a mysterious item?!”

Ji Mingxia met these girls a few days ago, and they were all ordinary people, none of them held mysterious items.

It's only been a few days but one of them not only has it, but could even skillfully manipulate it?!

When did mysterious items become so readily available?

Was he wrong before, or did they have a strange encounter in the past few days?

The girls saw the door finally being opened and immediately pushed it open with impatience.

Inside the hotel was dark, and you wouldn’t even see your fingers unless you turned on a flashlight.

But surprisingly, there was a faint red light flooding out of the open fire escape door.

The ray of red light shone out in the darkness, illuminated the faces of the four female fans, and made their faces blood red.

Immediately after, a heavy fishy smell wafted out from the inside.

A sense of foreboding immediately rose in Ji Mingxia’s heart.

As the name implied, the door to the fire escape was used when an accident occurred. Residents could use it when it was inconvenient to take the elevator.

The light signs are always green, so this red light was not in line with common sense.

“Brother Chengxuan, is brother Ke Chengxuan there?” A girl asked in a whisper, “Is anyone there, we came to save you.” Beyond the door was dead silent, but at the girl’s voice, there was a sudden faint rustle.

It was as if something was moving on the ground. The sound was not loud, but it was very dense, and it came out in fragments.

The girls looked at each other and were a little curious. One of them could not help but open the door a little wider, and then peeked in.

On seeing the scene beyond the door, the girl was immediately stunned and had a strange look as she muttered: “What is this place, is it the hotel?”

Ji Mingxia also could not help but take a look.

His senses were stronger than ordinary people, so his vision was also much better. Although he was standing in a corner and the angle is not good, he could still see beyond the door. Inside was a window, blackboard, tables and chairs.

Blackboard? Tables and chairs?

Was it possible for these things to appear in the fire escape of the hotel?

Not to mention the fire escape, they wouldn’t even appear in a hotel, but rather in a school!

Ji Mingxia was still in confusion when a black shadow quickly flashed by and rushed from beyond the door.

Ji Mingxia exclaimed in alarm: “Be careful!”

Although he reacted quickly, and immediately warned the girls, it was too late.

When they heard Ji Mingxia’s voice, their first reaction was to look in his direction, missing the best time to dodge.

In the next instant, the girls closest to the door were grabbed by a black shadow, and they disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The other two girls were stunned for a moment and couldn’t help but scream.

Just when the black shadow was about to strike at the other two, a red light flashed, turning into a sharp blade that cut the black shadow in two!

A roar came from inside the door, and several drops of liquid splashed out from the black shadow’s fracture and fell to the ground, corroding it with a hissing sound.

After being injured, the black shadow immediately abandoned the two girls and disappeared from the door in a flash.

The red light of the blade hovered in the air for a while, and after confirming that it was safe, it flew back to Yu Ning’s hand.

The remaining three girls hurriedly fled from the position near the door, and their eyes followed the direction of the ring, landing on Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia in disbelief.

“It’s you guys.” Liu Lin stared at Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia and immediately recognized them.

The other three girls were in shock, and after seeing that Liu Lin recognized the people, they hurriedly asked, “Who are they?”

“The guys who rode in the car with us that day.” Liu Lin whispered.

Ji Mingxia also recognized Liu Lin. She was the girl holding a camera and chatted with him that day.

At that time, she looked no different from the other girls who were immersed in the love for their idol.

But in just a few days, Liu Lin seems to have completely changed her personality and was out of place in the group.

The other two girls had just come back from the gates of hell and were in shock. It was only after hearing Liu Lin’s words and looking at Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia that they recognized them.

“You guys …… why are you here?” One of the girls said, “Was it you guys who saved us?”

The other girl’s eyes rested on Yu Ning’s face, “Are you …… Yu Ning?”

When Yu Ning’s name was called out, the rest of the girls couldn’t help but glance at Yu Ning in surprise, not expecting to meet him in such a situation.

If it was in the past, even half an hour ago, their brains might still have some thoughts.

But after the attack from the black shadow earlier, the remaining three girls no longer had the heart to think about those irrelevant idle matters.

“What was that just now, was it a man, or a beast?”

“Xiao Qi was taken, what do we do……”

The two girls were at a loss. They were both worried and frightened and could not help but shiver.

Compared to them, Liu Lin was much calmer, but her face was very pale.

The three stood together, not daring to make any movement, and Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning finally walked over.

Ji Mingxia stared at the door vigilantly, in case there was another sneak attack from the black shadow.

Behind this door was not a corridor, nor a hotel room, but an empty classroom.

The blackboard, podium, desks and chairs and other items, everything was in the layout of a classroom. Ji Mingxia even felt that it was familiar and he suspected it was a classroom from the school in the next building.

The fire escape door connected to a school classroom, was this a space overlap, or a special ability of that key?

At this moment, it was quiet and there was no living thing, whether it was the black shadow or the captured girls, all had disappeared.

At the same time, Yu Ning also walked to the door and lowered his head to look at the ground.

When the black shadow tried to make a second grab, Yu Ning had used the blood red ring to intercept it. Aside from the splash of liquid from the black shadow, a small limb had also fallen to the ground.

It was a flesh-like thing with a smooth surface and light colored flesh covered with a translucent mucus.  Although the part had been chopped off from the body, it was still twitching and wriggling slightly.

At first glance, it did not look like something a human body would have.
