Zhao Kai was stunned for a moment, looked at Ding Yan, and after thinking about it, he spoke directly.
"Sister Yang Mei said she remembers there is a child on the fifteenth floor who likes roller skating. His family should have knee and wrist guards. She told me to pay more attention, and if I find them, to give them to her. She’s willing to trade for them."
Ding Yan was momentarily surprised, then looked thoughtfully at Liang Yuan in front before saying no more.
Zhao Kai scratched his head, feeling somewhat puzzled.
He felt that Sister Ding seemed overly concerned with Sister Yang Mei.
The group quickly descended the stairs, soon approaching the fifteenth floor.
Suddenly, Ding Yan stopped and said, "Wait for me."
Without waiting for the others to react, she walked to the fifteenth floor, gently gripping the door lock.
Immediately, her Mutant Ability was activated, a slight gleam flashing on her hand, and she forcefully pushed the door handle.
The door handle instantly twisted, and the lock inside was completely ruined.
She gave a light pull, and the door swung open.
There was no one living on the fifteenth floor.
Actually, with a creature like Wang Yanmei on the fourteenth floor, who would dare live above her?
The room was in disarray, but most of the belongings were still there.
It seemed the owner of this place had left in a hurry.
Zhao Kai followed inside, and Ding Yan said, "You gather supplies."
At the entrance, she indeed found a set of knee, wrist, and elbow guards.
Ding Yan’s face immediately lit up with a smile as she casually picked up the gear and walked outside to where Liang Yuan was waiting, handing them over, "Here, put them on."
Liang Yuan was taken aback, somewhat surprised, "For me?"
Ding Yan nodded, her gaze somewhat drifting.
Liang Yuan smiled without politeness and quickly put the gear on, asking simultaneously, "How did you know this house had these?"
Ding Yan didn’t respond, saying, "Why do you care so much? Put them on. When the fight starts later, I’ll be the main force."
Liang Yuan couldn’t help but laugh, "I know you’ve awakened your Mutated Ability, but you don’t need to do this. Both Brother Cai and I are strong men, do we need you to protect us?"
Cai Zhi also laughed, "Exactly, Ding Yan, don’t belittle us."
Instantly, Ding Yan snorted, "I’m alone; even if I die, no one would care. You two have people who think of you. If something happens, wouldn’t some people be heartbroken?"
Cai Zhi was momentarily surprised, then understood, feeling there was a hint of jealousy.
He turned to look at Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan seemed not to understand, saying, "Did you forget your parents are still waiting for you in Huamei Garden? How come no one thinks of you?"
Ding Yan instantly paused, giving him a glare.
Unexpectedly, Cai Zhi burst into laughter.
Ding Yan immediately glared at him, and he shut up, saying seriously, "We’re almost at the fourteenth floor. Be careful."
Seeing him talk seriously, Ding Yan also got ready.
Everyone had already experienced Wang Yanmei’s horror.
Even if they exerted utmost caution, it wouldn’t be too much.
The three remained silent, letting Zhao Kai close the fifteenth-floor door before descending slowly.
The bloodstains were still there, but the corpses were nowhere to be seen.
The fourteenth-floor door was wide open, with a stench wafting from inside.
From within, faint singing of a woman could be heard.
The surreal, fluctuating song made the dim corridor even more unnerving.
The three exchanged glances, feeling something was odd.
They slowly moved closer to the entrance, cautiously peeking inside.
Suddenly, a face appeared in front of them, and a playful voice echoed from inside.
"Xiaochang, Xiaochang, your friends have come to play."
