Shen Jian had originally planned to wait for Su Meng to say something nice to him, then he would pretend to be reluctant to go with her to give her face.
He did not expect Su Meng to leave just like that when she heard that he was not going!
If it was anyone else, he would definitely not bother with them, but Su Meng was different. Just from looking at his face, Su Meng could accurately tell his experience. This ability was an expert. He wanted to cling on to her.
“Hey, Master, wait!”
Shen Jian called out to Su Meng and ran in front of her. He said helplessly, “You’re leaving just like that?”
“Didn’t you say you didn’t want to go?” Su Meng crossed her arms in front of her chest, her expression indifferent.
“I thought you would say a few good words to me.”
“I don’t like to force people. Since you don’t want to go, I’ll ask someone else.”
Shen Jian thought that Su Meng was angry and kept observing her expression. However, he realized that she had been indifferent from the beginning to the end. It really didn’t matter.
He gritted his teeth as if he was cheering himself on. “I’ll go then. Anyway, this is a competition ground. There might not be any danger.”
After the two of them made their decision, they walked to the fourth floor together.
The fourth floor was still the same as when Su Meng left. The iron gate was open and it was pitch black inside. Only a small part of the door was lit up. The corridor was very quiet. It was so quiet that one could hear their heartbeat.
Su Meng walked to the door and pressed the switch on the wall, but the light was not on. It must be broken.
“It’s so dark here. I can’t see anything. Master, what are you looking for here? Didn’t the host say that we can’t come to the fourth floor? I’m sure the thing isn’t on the fourth floor. Also, when I came here before, it was also a rule that we couldn’t go to the fourth floor.”
Although Shen Jian was a 1.8-meter-tall boy, he was surprisingly timid. Ever since he came up, he had been following behind Su Meng, whispering and shivering.
Su Meng looked at Shen Jian helplessly. Then, she took out her phone and turned on the flashlight. “If there’s no light, there’s a phone.”
“Oh, right, right.” Shen Jian also took out his phone and followed behind Su Meng, acting as a lighting tool.
With the flashlight’s illumination, Su Meng could now see the fourth floor clearly. She also understood why the organizers did not allow the contestants to come here.
This must be the first crime scene. The entire corridor, whether it was the walls, the floor, or the door of the room, was covered in blood. Now, it had turned red and black.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air. It was probably because they were too nervous just now that they did not notice it.
There were many photo frames hanging on the wall. Almost all of them were photos of a family of four. The people in the photos were smiling brightly. One could see how happy they were in the past.
The sound of heavy objects falling on the ground that Su Meng heard just now was from a photo frame hanging on the wall.
Su Meng moved closer and carefully observed the photos on the wall. Soon, she found a clue. In each photo, the little girl was holding a small doll.
The doll was very beautiful. It looked lifelike, like a real child. The two eyes in particular even reflected the blurry figure of the photographer in front of her.
After looking through all the photos on the wall, Su Meng walked to the photo frame hanging on the ground. This photo frame was upside down. If one wanted to see the content on it, they had to turn it over.
Su Meng lifted her hand and flipped it over. She saw the group photo on it.
This group photo was different from the others on the wall. There was no difference in the person. The difference was the doll that the little girl was holding.
In this photo, the left eye of the doll was covered by hair, leaving only the right eye.
As she was looking at the photo, the sound of a door opening came from behind. Su Meng looked over when she heard the sound. She saw Shen Jian open a door and was about to enter.
“Why are you so bold all of a sudden? You even dare to enter the room by yourself?” It was rare for Su Meng to crack a joke.
She originally thought that Shen Jian would boast proudly, but she did not expect him to act as if he did not hear her. He did not have any reaction and just walked straight in.
“Shen Jian?” Su Meng looked at him and called out again.
However, she still did not receive a response.
Sensing that something was wrong, Su Meng got up and quickly walked behind Shen Jian. She raised her hand and patted his shoulder.
“Shen Jian, wake up!”
As she moved, the bell on her wrist rang. Shen Jian’s body stopped for a moment before he immediately said something extremely indecent, “D*mn it!”
