Chapter 352: Chapter 167: Ice Goddess, Big-headed Baby_2 Qin Jing glanced at Ding Yan, then at Liang Yuan, and laughed, "Mr. Liang sure trusts this beautiful woman to take two men along?" Liang Yuan smiled, looked at Qin Jing, and said, "I trust Manager Qin taking two men even less." Qin Jing was taken aback, then burst out laughing. She was already pretty, and with her voluptuous figure, she exuded a mature woman’s charm. This laugh was truly like a peony in full bloom, captivating and enchanting. It drew Wang Qi’s frequent glances, and even the honest Shi Haizhu couldn’t help but look over. But Ding Yan’s face didn’t look good; she snorted coldly. Liang Yuan appreciated her trembling figure and then said, "Alright, everyone, let’s move out." The few of them greeted their respective teams and then began to head upstairs together. In the dark hallway, there was a musty smell, wafting through in waves. The 27th floor had a lot of bloodstains in the corridor. Qin Jing explained, "These bloodstains were left behind when ’Yang Xue’ mutated and pursued the survivors." "Back then, she even chased them out of the corridor, scaring many people into running upstairs." "Many people were exhausted and were caught by her, who then cruelly dismembered them." Liang Yuan nodded slightly, didn’t comment, and just reminded Ding Yan, "You’re the second wave going up, be very careful. If you really disturb that mutated monster Yang Xue, don’t think about fighting back, just jump straight down." "The downstairs is already flooded; jumping from this height with your constitution should not be too dangerous." Ding Yan, Gu Feng, and Shi Haizhu nodded. Qin Jing laughed, "Jumping into the flood downstairs is a good idea; I never thought of that." "Manager Qin is joking, there are also mutated creatures underwater, so if possible, it’s better not to jump." As they spoke, they were about to reach the 28th floor. "We stop here, Mr. Liang. Going any further might easily disturb Yang Xue," Wang Qi said. Liang Yuan nodded, "Alright, Manager Qin, let’s go." "Everyone hold hands, my ability needs physical contact as a medium," Wang Qi said. Qin Jing extended her hand and held Wang Qi’s right hand. Wang Qi’s face visibly flashed with excitement, seemingly thrilled to hold Qin Jing’s hand. Liang Yuan’s gaze flickered; instead of holding Wang Qi’s right hand, he held Qin Jing’s other hand. This action made Qin Jing slightly stunned; she then glanced at Liang Yuan. Liang Yuan smiled, "I think, at a critical moment, Wang Qi might drop anyone, but he wouldn’t drop Manager Qin, right?" Qin Jing looked deeply at Liang Yuan and laughed, "Mr. Liang is really cautious." "Out here, it’s better to be careful. Feifei, you go and hold Wang Qi’s hand." Liu Feifei happily walked over to Wang Qi, boldly held his hand, and smiled, "Handsome, is it alright?" Wang Qi’s smile disappeared, and he said blandly, "It’s all the same." So, Liu Feifei and Liang Yuan each held one of the others’ hands. Even as they were going upstairs, if the others tried to play tricks and leave them behind or do other small actions, Liang Yuan’s side could at least instantly control them. Just like that, the four of them held hands and went upstairs. As soon as they got upstairs, Liang Yuan and Liu Feifei’s expressions changed slightly. Both of them had strong spiritual power and sensed that this floor was indeed covered by a strange spirit force field. Liang Yuan could even feel that this spirit force field was filled with malice. He immediately became vigilant, gathering his thoughts, not allowing his spiritual power to leak out. Liu Feifei had already been reminded by Liang Yuan not to leak spiritual power in this place, or they would be targeted by the mutated monster. They could sense the monster’s spirit force field, and naturally, the monster could sense them too. So only by restraining their spiritual power and not letting it spill out could they avoid being detected. At the same time, Liang Yuan also felt a peculiar superpower enveloping him. As this superpower covered him, he felt his sense of presence diminishing. This feeling was very strange; it felt like his mind was continually shrinking and becoming smaller. He felt he was dust, sand, an ant; this thought appeared in his mind. With this perception, he felt insignificant as dust; indeed, no one could notice him, no one would focus on him. A sense of inexplicable loneliness and solitude swept over his heart. He thought to himself, looking at Wang Qi, could this be what it feels like when he uses his ability? A person without a sense of presence, is their inner world so lonely, so humble? Liu Feifei also turned to look at Wang Qi. There was a trace of pity in her eyes. But then she instinctively turned her head away, subconsciously pushing him to the back of her mind. That was because Wang Qi’s presence was so low that she was ignoring him. Qin Jing remained calm, seemingly accustomed to the feeling Wang Qi’s ability brought. None of the four spoke; they carefully watched their steps, not daring to make any big noises as they moved upstairs. They even instinctively held their breath, all in an effort to avoid drawing the attention of the mutated monster Yang Xue. "Clang clang..." Suddenly, from the direction of the 28th-floor emergency door, a sound like a bell rang out! Liang Yuan and the others instantly tensed up, their steps halting abruptly. Their hearts started pounding wildly. Right after, they heard bursts of eerie laughter from the direction of the emergency door. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂 Then it sounded like a little train chugging along. It slowly passed through the corridor.
