36, Chapter 36(2/2)
"That's it." She said, "So I am on the twentieth floor and you are below. Now you know."
"Thank you." An Zhe said, "But you still have to be careful not to come to such a dangerous place."
"I won't jump." She said, "I come every week, don't you come too?"
She looked at An Zhe again: "I wanted to see the sky, so I came here. Why did you come?"
An Zhe: "I can't find the way back."
"I know the way," she said, "I have a secret passage."
An Zhe thought for a while: "I don't have anything to wear either."
"I also know where the laundry room is," she said.
Anzhe asked her: "Then can you tell me?"
She did not answer directly, but asked: "Are you a student from the lower class?"
An Zhe: "I am a teacher."
"Promise me one thing," she said to An Zhe, her eyes seemed to be clearer, "promise me one thing, I will find you clothes and then take you out through the secret passage."
An Zhe asked: "What's the matter?"
"You find a boy named Sinan on the 6th floor and tell him that I was given a tracer and can no longer go out to play with him." She said, "This time next week, you come here again and tell me what he said.
What."
An Zhe fell silent.
The girl looked at him and asked, "Can't you do it?"
"I..." An Zhe looked at her and she blinked, now she looked like a normal child.
Finally, An Zhe said: "I might not be able to do it."
She said: "If you can find him, he is on the sixth floor."
An Zhe said nothing.
But she seemed a little anxious, pushed open the terrace door, and said, "I'll get you some clothes."
Before Anzhe could stop her, her white skirt disappeared through the door.
If the Sinan she is talking about is the Sinan that An Zhe knows, then he is no longer in the Garden of Eden, but in the lighthouse. But An Zhe doesn't know what will happen to her if he really tells her the news. He knows that human emotions will
bring pain.
So until the girl went out and came back again, pulling him through the dark, deserted, empty corridor, and finally stopped at a small, half-open door in the clutter, he didn't think of a word to say.
"If you can get in, you can go down to the first floor." She pointed to the doorway.
The door was ajar. Technically speaking, it was no longer tightly shut due to age and was loosened. But the chain-like rusty metal bolt was still hanging on the door.
It is embedded in the wall, so that it can only open to a very small extent, only enough for a child to get in sideways.
An Zhe said: "I'll try."
He walked to the door and leaned slightly.
It is impossible for an adult to pass through here, but he is still a mushroom after all. Under the cover of his clothes, his body briefly changed to the state of mycelium. After losing the restrictions of human bones, he easily entered behind the door.
"Your body is so soft," the girl said.
"I also have one thing," An Zhe said: "Can you not tell others that I have been here?"
The girl said: "If you come here again next week -"
Her voice stopped suddenly.
"Lily?" a female voice said.
"You're here again." The voice was slightly reproachful.
An Zhe ducked aside, and he heard Lily say: "I'm sorry, madam."
"I found you this time," the woman called "Madam" said softly, "If it were them, you would be locked up again."
Lily said: "I won't do it anymore."
Then there were footsteps, and they seemed to be walking out. An Zhe looked over there through the gap, and saw Lily being held by a lady in a snow-white dress, and her figure gradually walked away in the dim corridor.
Lily didn't finish her words, but he knew what she wanted to say. He seemed to have reached an agreement with Lily. He would come here again next week to tell her Simon's reply.
He was worried and looked around - it was dark all around, and the smell of moisture was coming from the floor. He could vaguely see that the walls were mottled and peeling off, covered with gray-green mold spots, and the ground was covered with gray-white powdery debris - this was a small place.
Steep stairwell. And, obviously, it hadn't been used in who knows how many years.
An Zhe found the handrail of the stairs and walked down it little by little. There were no windows and it was darker than night. This place was not much better than a pipe.
There are 20 stairs on each floor. An Zhe counted the floors as he walked. When he went down to the 6th floor, the small door of the stairwell had a gap about the same size as the 20th floor. He went out from it.
And arrived at the utility room on the 6th floor.
The bright light shone on him. The clothes Lily gave him were the standard clothing of Eden personnel, a snow-white shirt - no different from his previous dress. He walked out and looked at the time on the wall clock in the corridor. It was seven o'clock.
, if he went to work at the training base from Eden - he would already be late.
So An Zhe went downstairs and walked towards the door faster. The bright red slogan "Human interests above all else" in the hall was particularly eye-catching on the white walls. Staff in white uniforms walked on the bright floor, and children's voices could be heard in the distance.
The sound, everything was different from the inside of the deep and twisting pipe, and he felt like he was alive again.
The glass door of the hall opened and someone bumped into him.
An Zhe: "..."
Lu Feng.
Behind Lu Feng is Seran.
He saw Lu Feng's eyes narrowed, and he felt some dangerous aura from this action.
Sure enough, Lu Feng said in a deep voice: "Why are you here?"
Facing this person, An Zhe's hyphae were about to explode.
He shouldn't be in Eden right now, he should be at the training base with Colin.
"I..." He looked up at Lu Feng.
And those cold green eyes stared at him, and the meaning seemed to be: You can start making up.
An Zhe said: "...I took the wrong step."
He really went wrong and got completely lost underground in the entire city. If he hadn't happened to come to the Garden of Eden, or hadn't found the terrace in time, he might have continued to be trapped in that place, lost his identity as a human being, and would never be able to come out again.
.
and……
And Lu Feng, this bad guy, has nothing to do with him from now on.
He lowered his eyes slightly. For some reason, he felt that the colonel was no longer as hateful as before.
Then Seran said gently: "It's time to go to work at the training base today. Didn't you realize that the location has been changed?"
An Zhe said nothing. The sun rose from behind the artificial magnetic pole in the distance, and the golden rays of light shone on the silver buttons of Lu Feng's uniform.
His voice was a little hoarse: "And we're going to be late."
Lu Feng didn't speak, but he didn't open his mouth to make things difficult for him. An Zhe felt that based on Lu Feng's understanding of his IQ, Seran's reason was convincing enough. An Zhe moved to the side, trying to bypass Lu Feng.
Get out of here.
Lu Feng's voice suddenly came from beside him: "I'll see you off."
Lu Feng's car drove very steadily and fast, at least twice as fast as the shuttle bus. When it stopped at the entrance of the training base, the time on the display screen in the car had just reached 7:25 a.m., which was far from the required time to go to work.
There are still five minutes left, so you are not late.
But when he got off Lu Feng's car, An Zhe felt that the people who also came to work at the training base all glanced at him.
Anyway, it was not the first time that he had been spotted. An Zhe came to the card swiping machine at the door, and people came over one after another, swiped their ID cards to open the gate, and entered.
Anzhe paused - he discovered something.
There were footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw Lu Feng standing very close behind him, raising his eyebrows and looking at him.
An Zhe: "...I forgot to bring my card too."
Then Lu Feng heard a soft "tsk" sound.
Two slender fingers clasped the blue ID card and placed it on the sensor. With a beep, the gate opened.
It was Lu Feng who used his ID card to open the gate for him.
At the same time, the colonel's voice sounded in his ears with a hint of disgust.
"Too stupid."
