Chapter 436

Third floor of the administrative building.

The corridor was pitch black without any light.

Looking around, there were only two offices with closed doors in front of me. The words on the iron plate were blurred in the darkness, but in the faint light, the two lines of text could still be seen clearly.

On the left is the principal's office. The final destination of their trip.

On the right is the Vice President's Office. This place has nothing to do with the main line of the copy or the real purpose of their entry into this copy.

Yes, compared with the principal's office, it should be less dangerous.

But everyone knows that this seemingly conservative security option is the trap. If they are deceived by its surface harmlessness, they may end up killing them all.

Wen Jianyan could not see this, but for some reason, he still made such a suggestion.

"..." Hugo stood there, staring at the young man in front of him, with rare doubts and hesitation in his eyes.

Wen Jianyan looked back at him. His whiteness was scary, but his eyes were sharp and the thorns made people shocked.

"Have you decided?"

Under too much pressure, Acropolis' voice was already a little distorted.

He stared at the stairwell where nothing was behind him, his face turned pale and his forehead was wet. As a psychic, his powerful perception made him tremble all over, as if he could see that there was a terrifying existence in the darkness moving up the steps step by step, and the distance between him and them was quickly shortened.

"Or it would be too late!!"

He screamed involuntarily.

——Time is tight, and it is time to make a decision.

Hugo frowned.

For him, this was not a very easy decision.

Although Wen Jianyan was always the core of the team before this, he also made the entire team safe again and again.

But even so, they cannot ignore the impact of san value on a person's mind. After all, in the nightmare, even the most top-notch brain will fall into madness.

What's more, the situation they are facing now is so critical.

However, after a brief struggle, Hugo finally made a decision.

"Okay, right."

He decided to believe Wen Jianyan.

After all, he hasn't made a mistake so far, hasn't he?

Almost without hesitation, everyone immediately began to act.

They ran to the vice principal's office on the right as quickly as possible.

The sound of rushing footsteps echoed in the corridor.

Behind them, the invisible cold air seemed to be approaching, and they could almost hear the sound of uniform and stiff footsteps, and every second was a torment of life and death.

"The door is not locked!"

Acropolis held the door handle and pressed down, shouting in surprise, "Quick!"

Almost without time to think, the four of them gritted their teeth and rushed into the open door.

Su Cheng, who fell to the end, pushed the door tightly.

As soon as the door was closed, it was thumped, almost causing Su Cheng to fall back. The cold breath spread along the crack of the door, and everyone told them: the danger was outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, another sound.

"Bang!"

The sound was deafening, and the door shaft made an overwhelming creaking sound, as if it was about to fall apart in the next second.

"Get back!" Hugo sternly said.

Su Cheng let go of his hand and retreated suddenly. Taking advantage of this space, Hugo stepped forward and poured all the grayish-white ash left in his bag down, and piled a thick barrier behind the door.

This time, he was not stingy.

The ashes of the cigarettes were almost piled up from the spire, leaving no gaps, and blocking the entire crack in the door.

When the ashes were connected into a line, the sound outside the door finally calmed down.

The corridor is silent again.

The sound of the door crashing disappeared.

“…”

In the dark vice-principal's office, no one spoke for a moment, and they could only hear the rapid gasps with lingering fears. Everyone knew how close they were to death in just a few seconds.

“…Is it gone?”

Su Cheng looked at the closed door and asked while panting quickly.

"No." Acropolis answered quickly.

His eyes were still locked tightly on the closed door panel, and his bad face did not relieve at all. Instead, it seemed worse than before. "It's still outside."

The Acropolis' voice was very low, but it was heard in the ears of everyone, but it made people's hair stand up inexplicably.

In the dark corridor, the "door guard" without human form stood outside the closed door, waiting quietly and motionlessly.

Just like before when they were in the second floor student union office.

However, this time, no red light could isolate their breath, so even if the outside was quiet, the Acropolis could clearly feel the terrifying threat from outside the door.

It does not disappear, nor does it leave.

Just waiting.

Several people looked at each other and exchanged a solemn look.

Previously, this is one of the important reasons why they did not consider entering the vice principal's office: they were not sure whether the doorman would leave after entering the office.

Once it blocks the door, it will be difficult to leave the vice principal's office and enter the principal's office.

At this moment, Hugo slowly spoke, as if he had hit everyone's already sinking heart:

"And, this door may not last long."

He raised his chin:

"look."

The others followed his lower eyes.

In front of the closed door, there was a thick ashes of gray-white cigarettes, and everything seemed to be unchanged. However, if you look closely, you will find that on the side close to the door, the side of the pile of ashes began to slowly turn black, as if it was burned.

At first there was only one narrow edge, but under their gaze, the black edge began to erode and spread to the grayish-white interior.

Obviously, some kind of invisible confrontation is happening, and as time goes by, this door will sooner or later become unstoppable.

Several people turned their heads and looked behind them at the same time.

Wen Jianyan leaned against the wall with his strength off his head, his sweaty black hair stuck to his pale cheeks, and he was breathing with difficulty, as if he was exhausted to the extreme.

"So," Acropolis looked at Wen Jianyan and finally asked the doubt that had not yet been expressed, "Why did you insist on coming to the vice principal's office just now?"

Is it because I sensed that there is a fatal crisis that will surely die in the principal's office? Or is there any more special reason?

"I'm not sure yet."

Wen Jianyan raised his eyes and said calmly.

“…?!”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

They thought that Wen Jianyan must have some particularly important reason for making such a decision, but the situation was in a crisis at that time and there was no way to explain it carefully. They never thought that the other party would give such an answer.

Not sure yet???

What's the meaning?

Wen Jianyan did not look at the other people's stunned expressions, but raised his hand to support the wall beside him and stood up staggeringly.

"Where is the light? Can you help turn it on?"

Hugo paused, raised his hand to grop on the wall for a while, and soon, there was a slight "click" sound, and the dark white light illuminated, illuminating the entire vice principal's office.

The size of the vice principal's office is not large, probably only a quarter of the size of the office downstairs.

The furnishings here are very simple and look no different from the real world.

Mahogany tables and chairs were placed at the end of the room, and there were two pots of withered potted plants in the room. The walls on both sides were bookshelves, and each shelf was filled with unknown books.

Wen Jianyan nodded and thanked him, then quickly walked inward, searching the entire office for any evidence that could be regarded as clues.

He did not lie.

After all, except for the prompts given by Bai Xue before entering the dungeon, he really has no special reason to stand firm.
