After climbing the steps to the fifth floor, Yu Xuanyi paused for a moment.
Not because of anything else, but because he saw what Wu Guixi said about the entrance to the rooftop - there was an iron door there, which looked heavy and didn't look like it could be opened casually.
Yu Xuanyi frowned, and was about to report the problem on the phone, but heard Wu Guixi's words becoming intermittent.
"Can you hear me clearly? I'm on the fifth floor now."
She repeated it again, but she only heard a few words like "up", "go", "almost there" coming from the other side of the phone.
Just such a small sound can appear loud and soft, mixed with the sizzling sound of electric current, and there is a lot of noise, which is obviously a bad signal.
In desperation, she had no choice but to go straight up and try again. She first pushed and pulled the door twice, and found that it really didn't move at all. Then she observed it for a moment, made some guesses and associations based on the mechanism of the door lock, and reached out to pull one of the lock bolts that looked like a switch.
There was a knocking sound in the door, and Yu Xuanyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, because she also knew that if a normal door made such a noise, it most likely meant that she had just opened it.
It's like randomly smashing a broken mechanical part. If there is a sound inside, maybe it is this simple action that resets it.
Sure enough, she did it again. When the door handle was pulled, the iron door slowly opened.
First he crossed the threshold without thinking, then Yu Xuanyi looked back, seeming to have doubts, but still walked up the stairs and let the door close.
With a bang, the iron door closed, and then Yu Xuanyi heard another soft sound that was not easy to detect.
Directly behind him.
She remained calm and walked up.
At this time, the signal on the mobile phone seemed to be completely cut off. Wu Guixi's voice disappeared from the phone, leaving only noise and the sound of electricity.
Maybe it's on the top floor of the Art Institute... The signal is really bad?
Without looking back, he walked directly to the top of the building. Yu Xuanyi took a deep breath of fresh air and looked straight at the sky.
The night sky in the city is always deserted, with scattered stars. Finding even one is a surprise.
Even on ivory tower-like university campuses, there hasn't been much improvement. Although this city is not the most polluted place in the country, the central area of the city is still polluted by the smoke from the industrial area.
But on the contrary, such a scene will make people cherish the bright lights of the stars even more. Even if it is just a small one, as long as they see it shining in the sky every day, they will feel extremely gratified.
This is what Yu Xuanyi is like.
She considers herself calm and rational, and has suppressed herself for so many years, but she can still feel that this leisurely mood is a little bit interesting.
After staring at the stars for two minutes, Yu Xuanyi turned back and walked to the edge of the locker that she had intentionally ignored before. She glanced up and down and determined that this cabinet had probably been abandoned for a long time and had not been used in recent years.
But that's right. Most of this kind of storage cabinets are located on the bottom floor. If they are located on the top floor, they are obviously disused. If you care about yourself, you will be in chaos.
She came to the stairwell where she came up before - it was the only entrance to the fifth floor and the rooftop. The iron door was closed, and the mechanism above did not work like the previous operation. It was obviously tampered with.
Although you can reach your hand from the top to the other side, the exquisite design means that the distance between contact with the normal mechanisms is only a millimeter, and you cannot easily use props to "let it go".
At the same time, Yu Xuanyi also secretly made plans and finalized the matter in her heart.
She didn't mean to blame Wu Guixi, but she couldn't help but want to laugh, and felt that she was worrying too much.
She is also more concerned. If that guy is always so easy to use in the future, and if a good person is by her side in the future, how many lives will he have to be able to be friends with her?
I'm afraid I'll get tricked if I don't do it, but also thanks to that idiot who doesn't have a long memory and can murmur what's on his mind when he meets someone who looks kind to him.
It seems that I will stay with her for a few more years.
Yu Xuanyi did not pause at all, nor did she try to open her mobile phone again.
The signal cut off just now was not because the signal was bad.
It's not like Yu Xuanyi has never heard that sound before. That change means that the signal is indeed disappearing, but it's not because it's outside the service area, but because of the presence of signal shielding equipment.
Of course, it can't be the kind of signal shielding truck that can cover an entire building casually - the kind that appears in movies. Such equipment is sometimes installed in examination rooms for various examinations. As someone who happened to be good at memorizing, it was not like Yu Xuanyi had never heard of it.
I'm afraid the person who set the trap did these things just to seal her up on the rooftop like this. The art college itself is of a special nature, and most of the doors are soundproof. Yu Xuanyi didn't see anyone guarding him along the way, which meant that the security guard on duty was probably resting in a small room on the first floor.
And if the security guards had taken a break, it was definitely not an accident that the door was unlocked, but someone deliberately set up this series of traps to lead her here.
Even using Wu Guixi’s voice and experience.
The reason why it is "Wu Guixi's voice" rather than herself is quite simple.
Even if Wu Guixi really wanted to deceive her, team up with others, or even use her professional skills to perform correctly, she would not be able to adopt this method.
Yu Xuanyi already noticed something was wrong from the moment she started going up the stairs. The stairs here are too old, covered with dust, and there are no baffles to protect them from wind and rain - you can see the sky directly after taking a few steps, and it doesn't look like they are storing important items at all.
If Wu Guixi, who knew her better, had set the trap himself, then it was absolutely impossible to design the reason like this.
Because even though Wu Guixi can only be described as short-sighted, no one knows better than her, who has lived with Yu Xuanyi for a long time, how persistent and paranoid this young girl Yu is about the details of this kind of life.
But Yu Xuanyi did it again.
Of course it's not because she particularly wants to be completely calculated, but because she is thoughtful.
She doesn't need to delve into who the person who made her stand here is, but if the purpose is just to lock her alone on the rooftop and cut off all contact, this person must at least have his own plan and have evil intentions.
Yu Xuanyi had no time to be afraid, only to think. Because this place is really not suitable for killing, but more suitable for trapping a person. You don't have to worry about being secretly murdered in such a semi-enclosed place, but at the same time, your whereabouts will be completely recorded by surveillance videos all over the campus.
Therefore, this behavior seems to have no meaning except to prove that he was in the building of the Art Institute during this period, and the person who designed all this did not do anything extra.
There are too many possibilities, and the ideas are too complicated. The only thing that is certain is that the person who set the trap took the initiative to prepare everything for her, but completely treated her as a puppet that could be controlled by others, stopping here for no apparent reason.
Thinking of this, an inexplicable rebellion once again surged into Yu Xuanyi's heart. Like anger, but more like something else.
It's like a person who always likes to dominate others, but finds that he has been completely calculated by an unknown rat.
Combined with his previous experiences, Yu Xuanyi felt even more dissatisfied.
How can it be possible for you to get what you want?
