Chapter 8, Liu Lei's Memories

As he just entered the elevator, he was still joking with Zou Qianqian. However, when the elevator reached the fifth floor, he abruptly stifled the joke he had been telling, for he saw a woman standing at the elevator door—a woman dressed in a white dress and wearing red high heels.

Where are you going

Liu Lei did not want to seek out Zou Qianqian, but when he planned to return to his original world alone, he was alarmed to discover that he had never taken the elevator game seriously, and thus he could not remember the way back.

Not good! Mo Shoucheng is in danger!

It is evident that the person outside knows he is hiding here, but... that person is not Mo Shouchen

The chilling sensation on his back made Liu Lei afraid to look up. He scrambled to escape, but just as his upper body crawled out of the elevator, he felt a tight grip on his ankle; his foot had been caught.

Zou Qianqian in his arms was trembling uncontrollably, and Liu Lei was too frightened to open his eyes. He began to regret agreeing to play this game with Zou Qianqian, but it was too late to say anything now; they had no way to turn back.

During his first intimate encounter with Zou Qianqian, Liu Lei should have felt happy; however, the events that followed left him unable to feel any joy whatsoever.

He leaped out of the elevator like an excited frog, then ran down the corridor without looking back; as for whether that woman had followed him out of the elevator, he did not dare to turn around and check

After the woman entered the elevator, he pressed the button for the first floor. Logically, the elevator should have been descending at that moment, but he felt it rising instead. This left him with no last shred of hope; it seemed that the "elevator game" was indeed real, and they had opened a passage to another world

Liu Lei let out a long sigh of relief; it was at this moment that he noticed he was barefoot on his right foot. It turned out that during the struggle earlier, he had exerted too much force and had thrown off his shoe and sock, which allowed him to break free from the woman's grasp

The sound of footsteps grew closer; first, the door of the first compartment was pushed open, followed closely by the second one

The hoarse voice behind him tore at Liu Lei's heart like a meat grinder, and he felt as if his very soul was about to escape. He desperately clawed at the elevator door, trying to struggle free and escape, but the woman's hand was like the shackles on a death row inmate, binding him tightly.

It turns out that the WeChat message he sent to Mo Shoucheng before was also received by the "Mo Shoucheng" in this world, which means that he himself had summoned this monster.

Because this is an alternate world, he remained cautious and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked Mo Shoucheng in WeChat if he was calling for him. Upon receiving a negative response, he felt a deep sense of fear

Although it is not unusual for a woman to ride the elevator alone at midnight, the thought of the terrifying warnings about the "Woman on the Fifth Floor" made Liu Lei quickly turn his body away. Zou Qianqian, on the other hand, directly wrapped her arms around him, burying her face deeply in his chest.

... ...

The standoff lasted a full half minute, and the elevator doors began to close automatically. Just when Liu Lei thought he was doomed, he suddenly felt a loosening at his feet, and to his surprise, his foot broke free from the woman's grasp.

Due to the suddenness of the situation, Liu Lei lost his footing and stumbled, falling to the ground. What was even more alarming was that his back collided with the woman's leg, causing him to be so frightened that he nearly suffocated from the shock.

Soon, he heard another person enter the restroom, and the two individuals outside began to converse. He immediately recognized that one of them was Mo Shoucheng, while he speculated that the other must be his counterpart from another world

While I was flipping through my phone, a new message suddenly popped up on WeChat. Upon opening it, I saw a drooling emoji, and the sender was "Liu Lei"

Upon hearing this, Mo Shoucheng couldn't help but exclaim that Liu Lei's method of escaping the elevator was quite similar to his own. It seemed that the woman in the elevator wasn't particularly clever; otherwise, how could she allow her prey to escape in the same manner twice

The elevator quickly ascended to the 10th floor. Liu Lei was contemplating how to protect Zou Qianqian as they exited the elevator, but unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, Zou Qianqian pushed him aside and ran out like a startled bird.

He took out the stun baton from his pocket; this stun baton belonged to Zou Qianqian, but it was temporarily placed with him because it could not fit in her pocket

The door panel of the partition is very thin; even if locked from the inside, it cannot prevent outsiders. Therefore, Liu Lei resolutely decided to take the initiative and catch the opponent off guard.

Uncertain how much time had passed, Liu Lei was startled awake by the sound of the door being pushed open. He opened his eyes and found that the otherworldly "Mo Shouchen" had not yet awakened. Fortunately, this fellow had braced himself against the door when he collapsed, preventing the people outside from pushing it open.

After the people outside left, Liu Lei found a room card and a mobile phone on Mo Shoucheng in the other world. It was only after he saw the content in the WeChat on the phone that he understood why he had been located

Through the conversation between the two individuals, Liu Lei learned that Mo Shouchen was temporarily safe. Therefore, he planned not to act rashly for the time being, intending to wait until the other person fell asleep before finding a way to meet up with Mo Shouchen

At this moment, the footsteps outside had stopped at the door. Liu Lei gripped the electric baton tightly. When the person outside pushed the door, he unlocked it and pulled the door open. A creature that looked almost identical to Mo Shoucheng appeared before his eyes

There was no other option; he could only temporarily hide in the last stall of the men's restroom, hoping to use his phone to search for a way to return to his original world. However, his phone was unable to connect to the internet here. After trying for a long time, in despair, he randomly sent a WeChat message to Mo Shoucheng, not expecting to actually receive a reply.

Liu Lei gritted his teeth and pressed the button of the electric baton despite the excruciating pain. Finally, the monster was stunned by the electric shock, but he himself lost consciousness due to the intense pain

Having survived the ordeal, Liu Lei did not feel the slightest bit of joy. Firstly, because this place, hetushu.com, is another world, and his current situation is still far from safe; secondly, he could never have imagined that Zou Qianqian, in her bid to save herself, would actually push him towards that woman, which was truly disheartening.

When Zou Qianqian suggested playing the elevator game, Liu Lei specifically looked it up online. Although the descriptions in the posts were somewhat terrifying, he thought it was just Zou Qianqian wanting to test her courage and did not take the game too seriously.

He clung to Mo Shoucheng for help as if he had grasped a lifeline, but just after a few words, he heard Mo Shoucheng calling for him from outside the restroom

Liu Lei only stopped at the door of the public restroom at the end of the corridor, leaning against the wall and gasping for breath. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced back, and the entire corridor was empty; it seemed that the woman from the elevator had not followed him out.

According to the previous inference, the expression of "Liu Lei" in the other world can only be sent to two individuals: one is the owner of this mobile phone, namely Mo Shoucheng from the other world, and the other...

Although he was filled with immense terror, Liu Lei still acted decisively, thrusting the electric baton directly against the monster's neck. However, the ferocity of this creature exceeded his imagination; even while being electrocuted, it managed to leap forward and bite down on his shoulder
