Chapter 900 The Legend of the Dark River 232
They watched as the elevator reached the eighteenth floor, and Mu Yumo arrived safely.
"I'm leaving. Be careful."
"Okay, we should be fine." Bai Hehuai thought that since they hadn't had any problems even though they were almost on the twentieth floor, maybe they were just lucky this time.
Mu Xuewei, on the other hand, wouldn't be completely at ease until she arrived at her destination.
Li Chu remained silent, thinking that the elevator should open when they reached the 22nd floor.
Sure enough, when the elevator reached the 22nd floor, the doors opened automatically.
A girl in a skirt was standing outside; it was Qiu Yingying.
Qiu Yingying stepped into the elevator and smiled at the group of people.
Apart from Li Chu, who was familiar with her personality, Bai Hehuai and Mu Xuewei were both somewhat wary.
"You're all residents upstairs, right? My dog is missing. It's a golden retriever. Have you seen it?"
No one answered directly, afraid of giving the wrong answer.
One of their rules is that if someone asks you a question in the elevator, you can't not answer, but you also can't give a random answer.
They could tell from each other's expressions that the three of them were the same.
Moreover, now the elevator stops moving after the doors are closed and remains stuck on the 22nd floor.
If they don't answer correctly, something might happen here, and they might not be able to get out of this elevator.
Besides, the space inside the elevator is so small that you can't run away even if you want to, and it's also difficult to resist.
Li Chu wasn't worried, but she could see that both of them looked confused and nervous.
Bai Hehuai and Mu Xuewei were indeed unsure of themselves; they really didn't know how to answer a question that offered no hints whatsoever.
I'm not sure if I can just answer that I didn't see it.
But it doesn't feel that simple.
Suddenly, they heard Li Chu's voice transmission in their ears, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Have you thought it through? You go first." Qiu Yingying smiled and turned to Bai Hehuai next to her.
She seemed easy to talk to; if it weren't for this potentially disastrous question, it would have been easy to let one's guard down.
Bai Hehuai forced a smile: "About how old is the dog? Does it have any memorable features? Could you tell us more about it?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yingying didn't say anything, but just smiled at her.
Then, he looked at Mu Xuewei: "And you?"
Bai Hehuai had just breathed a sigh of relief when he raised the question again, wondering how Mu Xuewei would respond.
Mu Xuewei had already thought of her answer while the two were talking: "Um, I rarely go out, I'm sorry."
She looked shy, and after speaking, she lowered her head and stopped talking.
I was an introverted person in school, I didn't like going out or playing with people, and I'm still the same now.
They didn't say whether they saw it or not, nor did they directly answer the question.
Li Chu reminded the two not to answer in the same way as Qiu Yingying.
That's probably okay, right?
Qiu Yingying's smile faded a little. She glanced at her again, but finally looked away.
Looking again at Li Chu, who was furthest away from him and sitting opposite him, his attitude was no longer very good: "It's your turn."
Two out of the three people hadn't broken the rules, which made her a little unhappy, as she hadn't had an extra meal yet today.
Bai Hehuai and Mu Xuewei also sensed that the atmosphere was very tense.
They all looked at Li Chu with some concern.
She reminded them, unsure if she had thought of a suitable answer.
Li Chu, however, remained unaffected: "Qiu Yingying, didn't you not own a dog?"
"You know me?" Qiu Yingying's eyes deepened, and she seemed a little excited.
The lights overhead started flashing, and the elevator began to sway slightly.
Despite all this, Li Chu remained unfazed.
“I heard from the property management that you live in 2202 and share an apartment with two other people. I’ve never heard that you have a dog.”
Hearing the property management's name, along with his own accurate information, he understood.
The excitement in Qiu Yingying's eyes faded, and her tone became calm and indifferent.
"I forgot, it was my neighbor's dog, they just gave it away a few days ago. Do you know what the dog's name was?"
After saying that, she asked Li Chu directly, "What do you think?"
This is deliberately making things difficult. Who knows what the name of a dog they've never even seen before is?
Li Chu naturally knew that she was embarrassed by her answer just now.
But she knows the plot, so she can't be wrong.
The property management said, you...
"Wait, you speak." Upon hearing the word "property management," Qiu Yingying quickly turned to Bai Hehuai.
So, they found her weakness; it turns out it's the property management.
Li Chu gave the two of them a wink.
Bai Hehuai understood immediately: "I'll listen to the property management too..."
"Stop talking. What about you? Have you heard the property management say anything?" Qiu Yingying persisted, staring intently at Mu Xuewei.
Mu Xuewei smiled slightly: "I rarely encounter property management."
Qiu Yingying's eyes lit up, and she was about to ask more questions.
Then I heard her say, "However, there's been discussion in the group about who has pets, and the property management is also there..."
"Alright, no need to answer anymore."
Qiu Yingying's face darkened a little. The next moment, the elevator dinged, the door opened, and she stepped out.
The three watched her leave, and Bai Hehuai quickly pressed the close button.
Seeing the doors close and the elevator continue its ascent, she finally spoke, "That was really scary, and a little..."
She wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare say it out loud.
The lights stabilized and stopped flickering like before.
Mu Xuewei looked at Li Chu: "When you said that at the beginning... I felt there was danger."
She was genuinely worried for her, given her direct and bold statement.
Aren't you afraid they'll change their attitude if you directly refute their strange statements?
What they didn't know was that Li Chu had always spoken to the strange creature in this way.
Because I know the plot and the correct answer, I am not afraid of being wrong and can boldly refute them.
After changing to a different world, Mu Xuewei was able to control the poison in her body at will, and the people and things she encountered were all quite good.
She also really liked the new world, except that the world with rules was a bit dangerous.
Therefore, Li Chu, who was kind to them all, was already considered a friend and companion by everyone.
It's understandable that they're worried about her.
"It's alright. I guess the first question was about not being able to lie, and the later questions were just personal grudges."
Li Chu also transmitted these words telepathically.
They couldn't discuss it too directly.
"Then how did you... know those things?"
These words weren't spoken aloud, but everyone understood what they meant.
Mu Xuewei and Bai Hehuai were both puzzled.
Could it really be what the property management told you?
Li Chu could tell what they were thinking just by looking at their expressions, so she didn't explain. She just nodded and let them think that way.
"It seems we still need to pay more attention to details in our daily lives," Bai Hehuai said thoughtfully to Mu Xuewei.
Soon, we arrived at the twenty-fifth floor.
Li Chu said goodbye to the two of them. They had already encountered something strange, but there were only a few floors left, so they should be fine.
Just a few steps out of the elevator, I saw Su Changhe leaning against his own door.
"wait for me?"
"Yes, your things are still here with me." He picked up a few bags from the ground and gestured for her to open the door.
