Feng Shui

Kapitel 25

I stood up: "Leave immediately!"

Wang Zhiyi also stood up, but he looked at Bai Su.

Bai Su immediately said in a deep voice, "I'll go too!"

Part 11: The Strange Experiences Continue

Wang Zhiyi shook his head: "I'm sorry, I was just about to say that I can only take Mr. Wei with me."

Bai Su winked at me again. I was too confident; I figured Wang Zhiyi had probably imprisoned Xiao Guo somewhere...

Of course, it might be dangerous for me to go with him alone, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. I'd rather risk it.

This is risky.

So I went up to Bai Su and said, "It's alright, I really need to see Xiao Guo!"

Bai Su lowered her voice: "I have a feeling that nothing has ever been more bizarre than this!"

As Bai Su spoke to me in a low voice, Wang Zhiyi walked away, admiring the paintings on the wall. I guessed he...

He wouldn't be in the mood to appreciate art in this situation; he simply didn't want to listen to our conversation and was deliberately avoiding it.

Bai Su's statement cannot be simply attributed to her intuition, because the matter itself was extremely bizarre.

I asked, "You mean I'm in danger?"

Bai Su grasped my hand, smiling bitterly, "I can't say for sure either, but where is Xiao Guo? His disappearance..."

It's shrouded in mystery; now you must go see him.

She paused here, and I couldn't help but waver a little. Indeed, where was Xiao Guo?

Guo is a person with a high ability to cope with difficult environments, but he has been missing for so many days without any news.

That means he couldn't defeat the force that caused his disappearance.

Wang Zhiyi said he would take me to see Xiao Guo. Of course, I might suffer the same fate as Xiao Guo, so...

Is it possible to break free from the shackles of this power and escape? This is a question that truly needs serious consideration.

I paused for a moment before saying, "This whole thing was started by Xiao Guo, and I don't think I should give up the chance to see him."

Chance!"

Bai Su frowned, then suddenly exclaimed, "Mr. Wang, why can't you take me with you?"

Wang Zhiyi turned around, spread his hands, and showed an extremely helpless expression, saying, "In fact, I just..."

Even with the directions given, I myself cannot go there!

Bai Su immediately asked, "What exactly is that place?"

Wang Zhiyi's answer was simply infuriating; he actually said, "I don't know, I don't know either!"

And I did get angry: "What does this mean, are you kidding me?"

Wang Zhiyi shook his head and said, "No, you can see Mr. Guo, and perhaps you can also see Mr. Luo."

I've experienced quite a few strange and unusual things, but now, looking at Wang Zhiyi, I'm momentarily speechless.

Rather, it's better to say something.

The helpless expression on Wang Zhiyi's face deepened, culminating in a long sigh: "To be honest..."

"Once you get there, there's no guarantee you'll come back!"

He invited us here, paused, and to our utter astonishment, continued, "This is also why..."

The reason why only Mr. Wei was allowed to go.

I was already surprised, and my mind was now in complete turmoil. What did Wang Zhiyi mean by saying that?

If he harbored malicious intent, and his phrase "going to that place" had another malicious meaning, then why would he bother to report it?

Tell me?

Judging from his expression, his frank statements were all true, but what exactly did they mean?

Woolen cloth?

This is utterly baffling!

For a moment, the three of us remained silent; the room was very quiet. After a long while, Bai Su spoke first.

She remained calm and composed, her voice even as she said to me, "Since there's such a strange place, even if it means risking..."

"The danger of returning is something you should experience firsthand!"

Bai Su's words struck a chord with me. I am a person with an extremely strong sense of curiosity, and Wang Zhiyi's words...

He spoke so mysteriously, and even though he couldn't guarantee I'd come back, the more mysteriously he spoke, the more I wanted to go!

I had already made up my mind to go, so I said, "Please wait for me for a few minutes, I'll go with you."

Wang Zhiyi looked slightly surprised. I gestured to Bai Su, and we went upstairs together.

Once upstairs, in the study, I took a small walkie-talkie, tossed it in my hand a few times, and then put it in...

He put it in his pocket, and then said, "You understand? I'll contact you anytime!"

Bai Su nodded, and I immediately went downstairs, patting Wang Zhiyi on the shoulder: "Okay, let's go!"

Bai Su followed me down. Wang Zhiyi and I arrived at the door, turned around and waved to her, and she waved back.

Bai Suzhen was truly a remarkable woman. Perhaps at that moment, her anxiety was indescribable, but at least outwardly...

On the surface, she appeared extremely calm, but very few women in the world could remain so calm when their husbands went to a mysterious place where they might never return.

Even in the face of danger, he remained calm.

Wang Zhiyi and I went out together, and he said, "Shall we use my car?"

I already brought a walkie-talkie, so I can talk to Bai Su freely within a ten-mile range. And I estimate...

Since the plan wouldn't extend beyond the city limits, I immediately replied, "No objections."

We all got into his car, driven by Wang Zhiyi. He didn't say a word the whole way. Soon, the car...

Having already started down a sloping road, I couldn't help but feel puzzled.

I know this sloping road very well; it's the one that leads to that building! That day, Xiao Guo brought me to see this building.

When I first came to the building, and on several other occasions since then, I always passed through this road!

Why did Wang Zhiyi bring me here? Could it be that Xiao Guo and Luo Ding are still in this building?

Before my doubts could be resolved, the car had already stopped in front of the building.

After stopping the car, Wang Zhiyi said, "Please get out!"

As he spoke, he got out of the car, and I followed him into the lobby of the building.

I haven't been here since Chen Mao, the former manager of this building, mysteriously died on the rooftop. At this time, or...

This was likely psychological; as soon as I entered the quiet lobby of the building, I felt an eerie, oppressive atmosphere.

I couldn't help but ask, "Why did you bring me here? Is Xiao Guo in this building?"

Wang Zhiyi's reply was even more baffling: "Perhaps!"

I raised my voice: "What do you mean?"

At that time, I was already on guard against the possibility of a shark or one of his henchmen suddenly rushing out from the stairwell, but...

Judging from the level of silence, it was clear that there were only Wang Zhiyi and me in the entire building.

Wang Zhiyi said, "You'll understand soon enough. Now, you can set off alone!"

I stared at him and asked, "Which way do we go?"

Wang Zhiyi walked up to the elevator, pressed the button, and the elevator doors opened: "Go this way!"

I was suddenly struck by a realization, and in that instant, I felt that I had grasped something.

The statement that all the strange things happened in this building is a bit too general. The more accurate statement should be...

All the strange things happened in the elevator of this building. First it was Luo Ding, then Xiao Guo, and now…

I!

I looked at the open elevator doors, hesitated for a moment, and didn't immediately step into the elevator.

Wang Zhiyi looked at me and gave a wry smile: "Actually, I don't insist that you go, but if you don't go yourself..."

"In that case, my explanation will never satisfy you, and you will never understand the truth of the matter."

I was still standing at the elevator door, pondering what he really meant by saying that.

Wang Zhiyi added, "If you don't want to go, then forget it. But please, never interfere in my affairs again!"

I gave a cold laugh. I knew he was trying to pressure me with his words. I said, "Who said I'm not going?"

As I spoke, I stepped into the elevator. Like any ordinary escalator, once someone stepped inside, the elevator...

The door closed automatically, and as it did, Wang Zhiyi called out urgently from outside, "Please remember the details of that place!"

I hope you can come back!

Just before the elevator doors closed completely, I noticed that he looked very anxious.

I immediately felt the elevator rising.

However, when I looked up at the control panel on the elevator, all the lights were off, and I had no idea where I had gone.

Which floor?

I immediately remembered what Luo Ding had said about his experience in that elevator, and my palms started to sweat.

This wasn't my first time riding this elevator, and for the first minute or so, the situation was completely the same as the previous times.

The only odd thing was that the row of small lights were completely off.

However, two minutes later, the situation changed!

The elevator was clearly still going up, but in terms of time, it should have already reached the top floor!

However, the elevator kept going up, ever going higher!
