Chapter 68 The Third Legend, Elevator Failure

After finishing the fruit feast, Bai Jie injected two drops of mutated venom into the little snake on a whim.

But the little guy was so happy.

The reason for this is because Bai Huahua is the first non-human creature to receive mutant venom, and Bai Jie wants to see what changes will happen to her.

However, after completing the venom grant, apart from the increase in vitality, there seems to be nothing special - neither the ability to inherit the spider nor the physical signs similar to the spider appear.

Bai Jie could only attribute the above situation to Bai Huahua's special physique.

Afterwards, Bai Jie did not keep the little snake overnight, but drove the satisfied little snake back to the water pool.

Bai Huahua was surprisingly obedient this time, humming and walking away crookedly.

It was still night, and Bai Jie, who had slept too much, was not sleepy, so he simply went down the mountain and walked to the campus.

...

"Thank you, uncle. I have been discharged from the hospital and returned to school. No abnormalities were found."

"Well, it's okay, uncle, I will take care of myself." Xia Qimeng said to the other end of the phone.

"On the other hand, those terrible movements last night...what happened?"

The girl's black pearl-like eyes turned around.

"What? Keep it a secret again? Oh, uncle, can you tell me?"

If his classmates saw Xia Qimeng's tone, they would definitely think they had seen a ghost.

That lady monitor, who has always been quiet and elegant, can actually act coquettishly?

"Secret Bureau intervenes?"

Xia Qimeng suddenly covered her mouth and lowered her voice.

"Can the Secret Guard Bureau... be able to handle these mysterious incidents?" After a moment, Xia Qimeng calmed down and asked calmly.

On the other end of the phone was her uncle, Director Xia, Xia Xiyang, the head of the Criminal Investigation Department.

Xia Xiyang covered his mouth with his hands and lowered his voice: "The people in the Secret Bureau are, at best, 'new humans', and at worst, arrogant 'freaks'."

"But there is no doubt that there is nothing they can't handle. If there is, they will increase personnel investment or firepower coverage..."

"New humans?"

Xia Qimeng asked suspiciously, "Could it be that they..."

"That's right."

Xia Xiyang affirmed: "Most of them have undergone highly intelligent mechanized transformations and have also undergone gene editing, so they have abilities that ordinary people can't imagine."

"I think Yong'an City will be peaceful soon. Just stay in school and be a 'home girl' and stop wandering around and causing trouble for me!"

"Okay, okay."

Xia Qimeng looked helpless, "I'm going back to the dormitory to wash up and sleep."

After a few polite greetings, Xia Qimeng hung up the phone and walked straight towards the girls' dormitory building.

It is now half past eleven in the evening, and there are very few students seen on the campus roads, frightened by the recent turmoil.

Walking downstairs, Xia Qimeng suddenly found that there was no one in the dormitory's small room on duty, and most of the lights in the lobby on the first floor were broken, making it look dark and scary.

Rubbing her arms with both hands, Xia Qimeng felt a little cold for no reason.

"It's really autumn, so I have to prepare some clothes."

She walked into the elevator alone and pressed the 7th floor button.

The elevator moved up, but at this moment, it suddenly stopped on the 6th floor.

Xia Qimeng thought someone was coming in,

But when the elevator door opened...I didn't see anyone.

Only the faintly flickering lights in the corridor alternate between light and dark.

Xia Qimeng thought that the person who wanted to take the elevator was going back, so she wanted to close the door.

But,

The elevator seemed to be malfunctioning. The elevator door did not respond and remained open.

She felt a slight chill in her heart, and her fingers kept pressing the door button.

The light on the door-closing button also came on and off, but the door wouldn't close.

"Um?"

Xia Qimeng gave a suspicious sound, then leaned out half of her body to look at the corridor on the side of the door...

No one, empty.

The door to each girls' dormitory was locked, and the same was true on the other side, with only dim lights flickering.

Maintaining this posture, Xia Qimeng felt that her upper body was a little stiff, so she had to retract her body and stand in the elevator in a daze.

The air seemed to be getting colder.

She suddenly remembered a rumor she had seen on a campus forum before.

When riding alone or with few people in the elevator, it will stop on the floor before the target floor for 10 seconds, and the automatic door will not close.

What’s even scarier is that sometimes strange cats meow at the end of the corridor...

Then, the third campus legend of Starcom University appeared in her mind.

It is said that in the girls' dormitory building, every night, people will come out of the dormitory and go through the trash cans in the corridor, looking for garbage to eat.

But every time someone went to look for the girl who ate garbage, nothing was found.

Combined with the recent strange events in school, Xia Qimeng's body became even colder.

"Otherwise, I'd better take the corridor..."

Xia Qimeng thought, it was only one level away anyway.

This decision eased her tension slightly.

So she walked to the corridor, and the familiar smell of girls' perfume in the air gave her a sense of security.

Because at least it was a human smell, not the smell of mutated humans like before.

"call......"

But after taking just two steps and before reaching the stairs, she suddenly stopped because her brain was giving her the feeling that something was wrong.

But she didn't know what was wrong.

Except for some darkness at the end and two rows of closed dormitory doors.

She wanted to control the muscles under her feet to lift up and take steps, but she couldn't do it no matter how hard she tried.

This is instinct or subconsciousness.

Stopping her from moving forward.

However, there was clearly nothing in front of her eyes?

"Huhu..."

Xia Qimeng heard her nervous breathing.

At this moment, Xia Qimeng hoped that one of the rows of dormitories would open the door, and a little girl would come out and tell her with a generous smile:

"It's the light bulb here that's broken. Don't be afraid, our senior sister is here."

Then, take her to the stairs.

But this "savior" has not appeared for a long time.

She was just stuck in place, in a dilemma.

Could it be that there was something that she couldn't see with her naked eyes that really existed in front of her?

"That's all, let's go try and see if the elevator works... It's probably a malfunction, maybe it's back to normal."

Thinking like this, Xia Qimeng gave up her plan to go to the stairs and successfully returned to the elevator.

Inexplicably, in the malfunctioning elevator,

She actually felt like she was back in her comfort zone, with her tense emotions and muscles relaxing.

So, like a demon, she began to press the elevator door button non-stop...

"Monitor Xia...what's wrong with her?"

"Her face is so pale and her eyes are red. I have never seen her look so pitiful..."

Bai Jie saw Xia Qimeng's behavior completely and felt puzzled.

In the past, the squad leader was a quiet beauty who was confident, elegant, and exuded an intellectual temperament. I didn't expect that she would be so frightened by a malfunctioning elevator and a dark corridor.

In fact, Xia Qimeng's intuition was right.

There is indeed something at the end of the corridor - it is a giant spider that has become invisible and is hanging from the ceiling of the corridor.
