Chapter 75  : There Was a Problem On the Fourth Floor

Shen Jian revealed an expression of ‘as expected’.

Although the compass was spinning randomly, Su Meng did not put it away. Instead, she continued to observe the compass.

When the participants on the same floor saw Su Meng like this, they suddenly felt relieved. In their hearts, Su Meng’s actions were ignorant. As expected, she was able to win just now because of her luck.

Su Meng was carefully observing the compass in her hand because she found that although the compass needle was spinning crazily, there was a pattern.

Every time the needle pointed to the southeast direction, it would vibrate twice before continuing to spin. From this, it could be seen that there must be something in the southeast direction of the house. According to the instructions, Su Meng carefully looked for clues.

Time passed by minute by minute. Seeing that there was no progress in the competition, the distinguished guests who were watching the competition on the spot gradually became impatient.

After some people left to take a rest, the competition finally made progress.

“Look at Miss Su. She seems to have found something!” The big screen was divided into eight sections, each showing the progress of the participants. Some people found that Su Meng had a clue.

For a moment, everyone’s eyes were on Su Meng. At this moment, Su Meng was frowning and looking somewhere. Her expression was solemn, and the atmosphere around her was a little tense.

Wei Ting had been watching Su Meng the entire time. He was the first person to notice that Su Meng had discovered something. Everyone else was just watching the show. Only he noticed Su Meng’s unnaturalness.

He frowned and watched for a while, then suddenly stood up and left.

“Brother Wei Ting, where are you going?” Wei Xue had just returned from the washroom when she saw Wei Ting leaving. She did not sit down and followed behind Wei Ting.

..

Under the guidance of the compass, Su Meng arrived at the southeast stairway of the small building. She felt that something was pulling her up, and she followed.

She did not know when Shen Jian left her, and she did not even know where the other contestants went. Su Meng was the only one in the entire stairway. As there were staircases on both sides of the building, Su Meng did not care. She thought that the others were at another place.

She walked to the second floor and then to the third floor. Finally, when she was about to reach the fourth floor, a slightly dull bell suddenly rang in her ear. Su Meng, who was about to take a step forward, suddenly stopped.

When she came back to her senses, Su Meng realized that she had already reached the fourth floor. There was an iron door at the entrance of the fourth floor. There was a chain hanging on it, but the door was not locked at the moment. She had already pushed the door open and entered.

It was strange. She remembered that she was clearly on the stairs just now. Why did she suddenly come back to her senses and arrive at the fourth floor?

There were no lights in the corridor on the fourth floor. The windows were all sealed. Not a single bit of light could enter. The entire corridor was pitch-black. Su Meng could not see clearly what was in the corridor. An inexplicable sense of unease rose in her heart.

Recalling what the host had said before the competition began, Su Meng decided to leave the fourth floor.

However, just as she was about to turn around and leave, she heard a ‘bang’ from the end of the corridor. It sounded like something had fallen to the ground. She narrowed her eyes and looked toward the source of the sound. Vaguely… there seemed to be a black shadow moving in the darkness.

Courting death was not Su Meng’s character. Since there was movement here, it would be more reliable to call people together.

Thinking of this, Su Meng turned around and ran downstairs.

“Master, I was looking for you. Why did you suddenly disappear? Where did you go just now? I didn’t expect that they would provide fruit this time. Do you want to eat some? After looking at it for so long, I’m hungry.”

When Su Meng ran to the living room on the first floor, Shen Jian, who was resting on the sofa, stood up and walked to Su Meng’s side. He pointed at the fruit and spoke excitedly to Su Meng.

Su Meng was not in the mood to care about the fruit question. She pulled his clothes and walked toward the stairs. As they walked, she said, “Let’s go. Accompany me to the fourth floor to take a look.”

Being pulled by Su Meng, Shen Jian was a little shy at first. He did not resist and followed Su Meng. However, when he heard that Su Meng wanted him to accompany her to the fourth floor, he immediately stopped. His head shook like a rattle drum. “Where are we going? The fourth floor!? I’m not going. There are no cameras on the fourth floor. Moreover, the host has already said that we can’t go to the fourth floor.”

Seeing that Shen Jian was afraid, Su Meng did not force him. She let go and said indifferently, “Alright, I’ll find someone else to cooperate with.”

After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave. She did not want to say anything nice to Shen Jian.
