Su Qingyu knocked twice, and there were also two knocks on the door of Room 302.
"Can you hear me? If you can, knock on the door."
A knock sounded.
"Are you being held here by the businessman? If so, knock once."
Another knock.
When they first came to the third floor, Su Qingyu noticed that the keys on the businessman's waist were of the same style.
And last time, the businessman came out of Room 302, crossed the corridor, and opened the door of Room 304.
So, both Room 302 and Room 304 belong to the businessman.
Su Qingyu asked through the door, "Can you speak?"
There was no response.
Unable to speak, was her mouth gagged? Or was her tongue cut off?
"Did the businessman force you to stay here? If yes, knock on the door."
The door was knocked on once.
The woman in red told Su Qingyu not to worry about the third floor, but Su Qingyu needed to collect more clues before she could find a way to leave the Infinite Corridor.
"Do you know the way out? Knock once if you know, twice if you don't."
The door was knocked on once.
This knock was a bit hesitant. After Su Qingyu asked the question, there was a pause of a few seconds on the other side of the door.
Su Qingyu painted a big cake for the person inside the door: "Protect yourself. If there is a chance, I will rescue you."
Rescue? Not likely. If no useful clues were offered, the person would be treated as a useless anomaly.
They continued down to the second floor.
The senior chorus in Room 205 was still singing loudly.
"The sky is dark, the road is dark, and a handsome brother emerges from the forest.
The handsome brother, hungry, set fire to stew a beautiful sister.
The beautiful sister, sobbing, called her rich father home.
Rich daddy, big belly, a pot of fat flowed out!
…"
The handsome brother in the lyrics reminded Su Qingyu of the handsome security guard.
And the old man in the black shroud in the last row suddenly coughed violently.
His dentures coughed out as if something was stuck in his throat, he beat his chest in pain.
The elderly people inside were in a mess.
At this time, an old lady waved to them, motioning them to come over and help.
As the old lady waved, the old men and women who were in a hurry suddenly stopped, they all stood up straight, raised their right hands at the same time, and waved to them.
Li Lin's teeth chattered: "Let's run, they are all abnormal!"
Such an escape would violate the image of mutual help, solidarity, and friendship among neighbors.
Su Qingyu shouted to the inside: "Grandpa and grandma, I'm sorry, we haven't studied medicine, and giving first aid randomly is no different from harming people.
Grandpa seems to be choking on something and needs professional treatment. It's better to call a doctor quickly."
The waving stopped at the same time, they lowered their hands and stood upright.
Su Qingyu continued: "If it's too late to call a doctor, you can also ask the security guard for help.
Security guards have received professional training and are more useful than the three of us."
Resident Rules Articles 1 and 3.
[As good neighbors living in the same building, you need to be as friendly as possible to other residents. ]
[Beware of the security guards patrolling the corridors, they always like to meddle in other people's business. ]
The group of old men and women looked at each other when they heard about the security guard, and then the old lady who waved at first walked to the door and closed the door with a "bang".
The corners of Su Qingyu's lips curled up, it seemed that her friendly suggestion as a good neighbor was rejected.
The three came to the first floor, and the security guard wearing a black mask arrived earlier than them.
The parrot in the canteen was listlessly lying in the cage, and the security guard was standing at the door of the canteen, whispering to the old lady who was knitting.
The old lady was amused by him.
Seeing Su Qingyu and the others arrive, the old lady tugged at the security guard's sleeve, gestured a few numbers with her hand, and then leaned into the security guard's ear to speak.
The security guard's eyes glowed strangely, and then he looked at Su Qingyu.
The eyes of a predator.
Just like a man-eating beast in a primeval forest, lurking in a dark corner, slowly opening its fangs.
The old lady handed three bottles of water to the handsome security guard, the security guard took the water, came over, and handed each of them a bottle.
Li Lin unscrewed the water bottle, raised his head, and took a few gulps.
He wiped his mouth: "Brother, seeing you is like seeing hope."
The handsome security guard snapped his fingers: "You're welcome, you should have told me earlier that you wanted to go out but couldn't find the way, I would have taken you out long ago."
Wen Xuecha also had a good impression of this security guard, she held the water bottle with both hands, and her long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings: "Can you leave this building with us?"
She thought, that even if he didn't take off the mask, this security guard's temperament could be compared to a star.
He was willing to take them out and give them water, he must be a kind-hearted NPC.
If he can leave the dungeon, she will take off his mask and develop a super-friendship relationship with him in the real world.
"Of course." The handsome security guard even raised his hand and wiped the dust off Wen Xuecha's cheek, "Excuse me, you have some dirt on your face."
Wen Xuecha's ears turned red instantly.
"Let's go, I've already discussed it with the owner of the canteen." The security guard was going to take them away from there.
Victory seems to be ahead.
The old lady nodded and smiled at the three of them, making a gesture of invitation.
Su Qingyu stood there motionless, she asked the security guard: "Is the phone on the fourth floor fixed?"
"It's fixed." The security guard had already walked into the canteen.
Li Lin and Wen Xuecha were about to follow the security guard.
Su Qingyu said slowly: "Li Lin, Wen Xuecha, let's go to the fourth floor to make a phone call, contact the security room, and confirm the exit with the other security guard, how about it?"
"Ah? But we can't go up directly, we have to go through it again from below." Wen Xuecha thought of the dark and lightless stairs before and resisted from the bottom of her heart.
Continue down, back to the seventh floor, then down to the fourth floor.
Too much trouble.
Li Lin had already stepped into the canteen, he twisted his neck and said, "Don't go back, I've already seen the way out.
Come here quickly, let's leave here together."
The handsome security guard also tempted: "I will walk in the front, if there is any danger, you can back off at any time.
Don't stand there, leave with your friends."
The parrot in the canteen suddenly jumped up and down in the cage: "Chirp—New stock has arrived—Chirp, chirp—"
Su Qingyu saw Li Lin's change in attitude. He had already stepped into the canteen. If the canteen was also considered as the resident's home, then Li Lin might have violated the rules by accepting the "grandma's" invitation.
Her idiot intolerance was kicking in.
Her heart was cold, she looked at Wen Xuecha who hadn't had time to enter the canteen: "What's your choice? Stay with me? Or get out of here?"
"I...I..." Wen Xuecha was in a dilemma.
