Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 746 Dilemma
The corridor on the third floor was as dark as ink.

Only the open elevator door let in a dazzling cold light. Several flies were hovering and dancing in front of the elevator door, and the buzzing sound made people irritated and uneasy.

On the display screen of the elevator operating panel, the downward arrow kept flashing, and the button for the fourth floor was lit with a faint yellow light.

Wu Xian's knuckles turned white from pressing on the door-opening button. Whenever the elevator door wanted to close, he would press the button immediately. If he was even a little slower, sweat would break out on his forehead.

It was this naughty behavior of constantly opening the door and stopping the elevator that temporarily trapped the terrible rent collector on the fourth floor.

But this is only a stopgap measure, and the security gained in this way cannot last long.

Wu Xian is the most conspicuous person on the third floor at the moment. No matter what comes to him, he will not be able to maintain his current state.

The only thing that made Wu Xian slightly happy was.

The rent collector on the fourth floor should be as anxious as he was, and since he was so tall, the way he pressed the button must have been very funny.

It’s a pity that he was on the fourth floor and met the rent collector for too short a time. He only knew the rent collector’s appearance and great strength, but did not get any specific information about his abilities.

Bang!
Suddenly, the sound of a door opening was heard in the darkness.

Wu Xian looked nervous. He heard dense footsteps and someone was running towards him!
When the person ran out from the darkness, Wu Xiancai was surprised to find that this person was neither an evil spirit nor a resident of the building, but a black-haired girl wearing a black down jacket and sweating profusely.

It’s Du E!
Wu Xian showed a look of joy. After being in the blessed land for so long, he finally met his teammates. He could finally escape from this hell of constantly pressing buttons.

Du E was also overjoyed and sincerely asked Wu Xian for help, so they both spoke at the same time and said exactly the same sentence.

"Help me, I'm in trouble!"

The voices of the man and woman overlapped. The two were stunned for a moment, and then laughed awkwardly.

Then, the two of them talked about their experiences after entering the blessed land in the elevator.

……

Like Wu Xian, Du E just woke up and found herself in an unfamiliar room.

This room contains a statue of the 'Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady who Grants Heaven's Secrets in Dreams', and also hides a very powerful evil spirit.

However, Du E had experienced many blessed places and her strength had also transformed, so after a thrilling battle, she finally defeated the evil spirit.

Then the lights came on and the building became relatively safe.

Du E took advantage of this time to go out exploring, and as soon as she went out, she met an old lady.

The old lady had a kind look on her face, and apart from the dark circles under her eyes, she looked no different from any old lady in the real world who loved children.

So Du E walked over, trying to get some information, but she didn't expect that as soon as she walked past the old lady, someone sneaked into her room and locked the door completely...

Hearing this, Wu Xian, who had suffered the same loss, burst out laughing.

Du E rolled her eyes and didn't want to talk nonsense with Wu Xian.

"I couldn't go back to my apartment, so I had to find a shelter through the old lady. I asked her about her well-being and acted cute and coquettish. Finally, I learned from her that the door of apartment 308 was not locked and there were important things inside, so I went to 308."

"Do you believe her so easily?" Wu Xian asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Of course I wouldn't believe her. I asked her to go ahead and explore the way, thinking that even if she was lying to me, at least she cared about her own life." Du E answered as a matter of course.

Wu Xian added: "But the natives in the nightmare don't care about their own lives at all."

Du E nodded dejectedly, and her tone became quite disdainful of the old lady's words. "Yes, as soon as Lao Deng entered the living room, he was eaten alive by the evil spirit in front of me..."

"She deserved to die, but she did me a terrible disservice!"

"The light in the room was too dim, so I couldn't see the evil spirit clearly. I could only say that it looked like both a human and a spider, crawling around everywhere, moving swiftly and elusively. I had to stay at the junction of the entrance hall and the living room to barely deal with it."

"Then the lights went out, and it became even harder for me to catch sight of that thing, so I had no choice but to risk escaping into the corridor, hoping to quickly take the elevator to other floors. As a result, I ran into you..."

"The door of Room 308 can only be locked with a key or from the inside. I managed to hold the evil spirit back for a while, but it won't be long before it chases me out."

After exchanging information, the two stared at each other.

Now there are wolves in front and tigers behind, and the two are in a dilemma.

If Du E followed Wu Xian into the elevator, the elevator would not go to the second and first floors, but would go to the fourth floor where the button was pressed first, facing a rent collector whose abilities and strength were unknown and who was suspected to be the final boss of the building.

If Wu Xian follows Du E to Apartment 308, he will have to face the mysterious evil spider, and as long as Wu Xian does not press the elevator, the rent collector will soon come to the third floor.

Even if he did nothing, the evil spirit in Apartment 308 would chase him out, causing Wu Xian to be unable to concentrate on pressing the elevator button and be attacked by two evil spirits.

After thinking for a while, Wu Xian asked Du E: "Which room does the aboriginal who cheated you live in?"

……

The two discussed for a moment and began to make preparations.

Wu Xian handed two playing cards to Du E, and Du E stuffed the cards through the crack in the door into apartments 301 and 303 respectively.

Then Du E took off her down jacket, cut it into several pieces with a knife, roughly rolled them into balls, and stuffed them into different pockets.

In this way, all preparations are completed.

Du E carefully groped her way to the door of Room 308, opened it a crack, and called out to Wu Xian.

"run!"

After hearing this, Wu Xian immediately jumped out of the elevator and ran towards the end of the corridor. As soon as he ran out, the elevator door closed and the corridor on the third floor fell into darkness again.

When Wu Xian ran to the vicinity of 308, Du E spoke in time to ask Wu Xian to slow down. Then the two of them groped in the dark and entered Apartment 308 at the same time and locked the door from the inside.

After the door was locked, it was as dark inside Apartment 308 as outside, and so quiet that the two could almost hear each other's heartbeats.

Du E stood close to the door, listening nervously to the noise outside.

Wu Xianze turned his back to her, guarding against sneak attacks from the mysterious evil spirit that looked like a spider.

Ding!
Soon, the elevator stopped on the third floor, and Du E heard heavy footsteps.

The rent collector has come to the third floor!
The rent collector walked slowly around the third floor, as if trying to find the apartment door that had just been opened and closed.

Hearing the footsteps approaching, Du E didn't dare to wait any longer and pulled Wu Xian's sleeve with her hand.

In order to avoid attracting the rent collector with their noise, the two of them agreed not to speak after entering 308, but to convey information through body movements.

When Wu Xian felt his sleeve being pulled, he immediately activated the 'Hand of the Ghost' ability on the White Ghost Poker.

A pale arm with enchanting movements grew out of the playing cards that were stuffed into Apartment 303 in advance. That arm started beating rhythmically on the inside of the door of Apartment 303.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!
