Chapter 143
Even if Lin Junruo knew nothing else, the sudden appearance of the Red Figure was enough to tell even an idiot that something was wrong.
The girl wasn’t far from them.
Lin Junruo felt her entire body go rigid.
Yellow Hair noticed the change in her mood. He reached out and patted her shoulder in silent comfort, then pointed off to the side.
That was the direction of the dormitory supervisor’s room.
At this moment, however, Lin Junruo had no concept of any of that. All she could do was follow whatever Yellow Hair told her to do.
She nodded.
Yellow Hair didn’t delay. He immediately headed toward the dormitory supervisor’s room.
Because they had taken off their shoes and weren’t walking quickly, they made no sound. Even so, Yellow Hair’s heart was in his throat the entire way.
At last, they reached the door of the dormitory supervisor’s room.
Yellow Hair let out a breath of relief. They hadn’t been discovered by that girl. But when he saw that the door to the dormitory supervisor’s room had been shut, he couldn’t help rolling his eyes.
When he’d left, this door definitely hadn’t been closed. If someone said it had swung shut by accident, Yellow Hair wouldn’t quite believe it. Comparatively speaking, he felt it was far more likely that someone had done it on purpose.
And as for who that someone was, Yellow Hair felt the answer was obvious.
It could only have been Liu Ji and the other three. And since Xu Yijie had been the last to run out, it was most likely his little trick.
Jian Fan and the others were still inside. What was Xu Yijie trying to do by shutting the door? Although Yellow Hair wasn’t officially teamed up with Jian Fan’s group, they were still part of the same overall team. He truly looked down on behavior like Xu Yijie’s.
If not for Jian Fan, they probably would have been finished back in that Red Mist.
At that thought, Yellow Hair’s mind drifted a little further.
Back then, what they had seen in the student dormitory was a cloud of red mist. And what that girl had used just now to swallow Xu Yijie was also red mist. In other words, had their first encounter with the girl actually been in the student dormitory?
Then how had she gotten from the student dormitory to the bathroom in the dormitory supervisor’s room?
Yellow Hair had no answer to that. The thought only flashed briefly through his mind.
The urgent matter at hand was to check on Jian Fan and the others as soon as possible.
Although they had been locked inside the dormitory supervisor’s room, based on Yellow Hair’s understanding of Jian Fan’s group, he didn’t think those people would go down so easily. Besides, the girl had chased out so quickly just now, which showed that Jian Fan and the others should be safe.
The door to the dormitory supervisor’s room had indeed been shut. Fortunately, however, after Jian Fan opened it earlier, he hadn’t pulled out the key. So at this moment, the key was still in the lock.
Yellow Hair took a deep breath, then stepped forward.
He carefully gripped the key and turned it with extreme caution.
The lock made a sound. It wasn’t loud, but even so, the moment Yellow Hair opened the door, he instinctively looked toward the other end of the corridor.
The Red-dressed Girl still had her back to them, and she was almost at the far end.
Yellow Hair didn’t dare waste any time.
He quickly opened the door, entered the room, then waved to Lin Junruo.
There was no need for Yellow Hair to remind her. Lin Junruo immediately followed.
Once they reached the dormitory supervisor’s room, Lin Junruo roughly understood what Yellow Hair intended to do. He had clearly come back to find Jian Fan and the others. To Lin Junruo, this was absolutely good news.
Jian Fan’s group wasn’t talking at the moment.
Noise would draw the Red-dressed Girl over. They couldn’t be sure whether anyone else had made an even louder commotion than them, so the most prudent course of action was to keep their mouths shut.
Even though no one was speaking, that did not mean they were idle.
Jian Fan and Qin Weiyi had already searched the balcony all over again. What they focused on most were the potted plants out there.
Why was there blood on the plants?
That was a question worth paying attention to.
Jian Fan was still pondering it when Qin Nan, beside him, suddenly patted him on the shoulder.
Qin Nan was currently lying flat. He was sitting facing the door, his line of sight fixed on the dorm room entrance. So the moment the door was opened from the outside, he noticed it right away. By the time he patted Jian Fan and Jian Fan turned his head, Yellow Hair had already brought Lin Junruo cautiously into the room.
Seeing that it was Yellow Hair and Lin Junruo, Qin Nan raised an eyebrow.
Qin Weiyi was also surprised for an instant, but he quickly smiled.
Yellow Hair coming over saved them some trouble. At the very least, they no longer had to rack their brains over how to get off this balcony.
Yellow Hair did not hurry over. Instead, he first closed the door, then looked at the five people on the balcony and let out a long, fierce breath of relief.
He set the shoes he was carrying to one side, then smiled and walked toward the balcony.
Jian Fan noticed that action and quickly understood: Yellow Hair had also discovered the crucial point that the Red-dressed Girl could not see.
When Yellow Hair reached the balcony door, he carefully pressed down on the handle. The door opened easily from the inside, and the five people trapped on the balcony were finally able to escape.
The first thing Jian Fan did after coming out was close the bathroom door.
The Red-dressed Girl had come out of the bathroom. After she bumped into an obstacle, she had not opened the door or done anything else. Instead, she had returned to the bathroom. After that, she had suddenly appeared outside.
So Jian Fan inferred that whatever path the Red-dressed Girl used to move was inside the bathroom.
Closing the bathroom door would add another layer of safety for them.
Qin Weiyi had not considered that at first, but the moment Jian Fan shut the door, he immediately understood.
The only thing was, they still had no idea how the Red-dressed Girl transferred from place to place.
After closing the door, Jian Fan walked over to a desk nearby.
There was a pen holder on the desk, with several pens in it. Jian Fan casually pulled one out, uncapped it, and tried scribbling on a piece of paper.
Probably because they had been left there for too long, quite a few of the pens in the holder no longer worked. Jian Fan tried three times before finally finding one that could write.
He wrote a line on the paper, then looked up at Yellow Hair.
Yellow Hair understood at once and stepped forward to take a look.
There were only four simple words written on the paper.
What happened?
When Yellow Hair looked over, Jian Fan handed him the pen, indicating for him to take it.
Yellow Hair was not surprised that Jian Fan and the others knew they could not speak. On the contrary, he felt that he had actually been smart for once-he had arrived at the same realization as the Big Shot.
Since they could not communicate by speaking, gestures alone definitely would not be enough. And now, the pen and paper came in handy.
Yellow Hair took the pen.
Jian Fan had only written four words, but when Yellow Hair started writing, it turned into a long essay. Even though he tried to keep it as brief as possible, it still took some time to write everything down.
Jian Fan and the others were in no hurry. They waited beside him and, while they were at it, swept their gazes around the room again to see if there were any other new discoveries.
They had not finished searching this dormitory supervisor’s room. There had to be clues in here that they had not yet found-clues meant to open the metal box.
