Dr. Deng's Clue
"You," Xu Huo said, pointing at Tong Jian. "Go outside and try."
"He's not a Ticket Player. Once the Dungeon closes, he won't be able to get out either," Kong Cheng said.
"Seeing is Believing." Xu Huo didn't believe him at all and insisted Tong Jian do as he said.
Tong Jian looked at Kong Cheng. After Kong Cheng nodded, he walked toward the entrance. Just like the Ticket Players, he was stopped by an invisible barrier. Striking the nearby glass and walls was no use either.
"Are you satisfied?" Tong Jian asked, turning around.
Xu Huo then motioned for the Kong siblings to clear the way to the elevator. He kept Dr. Deng at knifepoint and headed for it.
As they walked, Dr. Deng sweated and said, "Be careful. Don't cut me..."
"Shut up!" Xu Huo yanked him along and dragged him into the elevator. Then he said to the Kong siblings, "Stay here. If I see the elevator moving, you know what'll happen."
He gestured for Gan Qing and Chu Yuan to follow.
The four of them took the elevator back to Underground Level 1. As soon as they arrived, Xu Huo released Dr. Deng and had Chu Yuan and Gan Qing move tables and chairs to block the elevator doors, keeping the elevator on that floor.
The elevator alarm rang for thirty seconds before falling silent. Chu Yuan looked puzzled. "Why come down here? Wouldn't it be better to stay upstairs and let them come down? There's also a timed-bomb Ghost Shadow in the Laboratory."
"Are you planning to fight them for the Potion?" Gan Qing guessed.
"Instead of wasting time on that, we should look for Wu Xiaonan and Qiu Xiangdong," Xu Huo said. "See if they're still alive."
The two didn't understand.
