And, the singing?
The previous humanoid shadow never sang, and was as serious as anything.
Now this voice is not only lively and lively, but also very happy.
"La la la~ I'm coming!"
As the sound approached, the four people in the toilet were dumbfounded, "What, what should I do?"
Jiang Shan suddenly made a silence gesture, and then motioned for four people to gather around. If the communication channel had been intercepted, their words would probably be transmitted to the shadow man on the other end.
Zhao Ying immediately took out a spare pen and paper from the pocket of her protective suit and drew a big? Number.
Jiang Shan took the marker and carefully drew two circles on it.
Um? What does it mean?
Zhang Zheng looked over expressionlessly.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Shan drew tiny little people in the two circles. A very simple and crude stick figure.
The quality of this painting puts you in kindergarten at first glance.
Jiang Shan pointed at himself and looked around at the three people opposite him, as if asking for advice.
To be honest, if there is no 200% tacit understanding, I really don’t understand what we are talking about. But the three people on the other side finally understood, and at this time the lively and happy voice was getting closer.
It's so close, it seems like you're already outside the door.
There is no time left for the four of them to think. No matter what happens, let’s just act like this!
The voice outside the door, singing songs, came slowly...
"Zizzi, is there anyone? Go to the toilet...hehehe, I'm coming in too." Even with a headset on, Jiang Shan could intuitively feel that the voice had reached the door of the women's restroom.
She squatted quietly in the cubicle, waiting for the "uninvited guests."
The voice seemed to be happier, "Come on, come on... sizzle." The old toilet door creaked as it was pushed open, and then there seemed to be a breeze. The shadow had no footsteps, and there was no way to know her. Are you approaching?
But Jiang Shan heard the door of the first cubicle next to him ring.
Wow, what a familiar scene, and it was just as expected. It's a pity that there are only three toilet cubicles in total, so there is no way to prolong the process.
So Jiang Shan decided not to wait.
The moment he saw the door in front of him being pushed inwards, Jiang Shan used all his strength to push hard in the opposite direction!
She knew that she had indeed pushed something real, because the resistance at that moment was huge.
After pushing the door open, she saw from the corner of her eye a shadow of a person that seemed to roll down to the corner of the toilet.
Jiang Shan ran away. She was not willing to fight at all, and her chosen strategy was to run. Thirty-six strategies are the best strategy.
The shadow that was rushed to the wall seemed a little "dazzled". She slowly got up and watched the flexible figure "in front of her" rushing towards the densely packed bookshelves in the library without looking back.
The three people in the men's room next door could only hear Jiang Shan's door being pushed vigorously when she left, and the heavy stomping of her feet, as if she was afraid that others would not know that she had run away.
Zhao Ying and the others counted down to ten in silence, then Zhao Ying took out a pen and paper and wrote: "Now?"
This strategy is indeed not very clever, but it is really successful.
Jiang Shan hid alone in the women's bathroom. When the shadow man came to the door, he was responsible for deliberately making a loud noise to lure it away. Then, when they were gone, the three people hiding next to him would find a way to leave.
Jiang Shan's deliberate slamming of the door and footsteps were signals, because it was impossible for the three of them to hear the shadow man's voice, but as long as Jiang Shan started running, it meant that the shadow man had taken the bait.
There is a fatal flaw in this plan, that is, how to ensure that the shadow man will accurately find the "women's toilet"?
What if it was the men's room door that was pushed open? Wasn't it all wiped out?
Several people's eyes focused on the childish pictures drawn by Jiang Shan in the notebook in Zhao Ying's hand.
Because the shadow people - are the father and the "daughter". The daughter is female.
Shadow people retain part of their "memory patterns" from when they were humans, somewhat like AI programs, and their actions are somewhat programmed.
So Jiang Shancai took a gamble. As a daughter, the thin shadow would follow the inherent patterns of human beings. For example, when going to the toilet, it must be the women's toilet.
The three people heard the deafening noise next to them and understood that everything was indeed developing as Jiang Shan said.
Several people exchanged glances: "Run!"
Gao Wenwu opened the toilet door and rushed out first, followed immediately by Zhao Ying and Zhang Zheng, who had been holding their breath and keeping silent.
Naturally, they ran in the opposite direction to Jiang Shan. Jiang Shan was now the target to buy them more time.
A few people didn't dare to make too much noise. They said they were running, but they were just leaning on their backs and tiptoes, trying their best to move forward under the cover of the bookshelf.
At the same time, the three of them held up the only surviving flashlight and shined it on Zhao Ying's notepad.
Zhao Ying unfolded a structural diagram of the library. It can be seen that the structural diagram corresponds to the current five-story building one-to-one, including the expansion areas, which have been additionally marked.
Zhao Ying made a gesture, and then hurriedly wrote "地". basement.
Gao Wenwu and Zhang Zheng walked quietly while staring at the pictures on their notebooks. Their brains were running out of energy when they were multitasking. I don't understand what Zhao Ying wants to express.
Zhao Ying anxiously tapped the structural diagram twice with the tip of her pen.
Gao Wenwu's eyes lit up, and he seemed to understand what Zhao Ying meant.
The basement mentioned by Jiang Shan.
In this structural diagram of the library, there is obviously no basement. Even for the later expansion, there is no indication of any underground construction.
Excluding the possibility that Jiang Shan heard it wrong, Zhang Zheng also heard the words basement after all.
The land management in Beijing and Hong Kong is very strict. Even the owner of the library must not dig any basement without reporting and obtaining approval.
Besides, the basement cannot be dug out in a day or two.
Then there is only one possibility.
This basement is a third space that existed before the library was built.
So it won't be there on the initial construction diagram.
"I think we should probably find this basement." Zhao Ying suddenly said in a low voice.
Gao Wenwu heard the implication and frowned, "How do you say it?"
Zhao Ying looked at the terrifying darkness around her, and her voice became softer: "If this 'basement' is not in the library's plan, it means that it is not one of the main parts of the library."
Jiang Shan said that after the restart, the library will be a completely closed space. There are no windows or any other exits.
It is an integrated "inner space". (Refer to the inner world and the outer world)
However, the basement is a third space that does not belong to the library itself. Perhaps there is a way out there.
My eyes have been a bit inflamed recently...
