C159 If You Walk too Many Roads at Night You Won't be Afraid Anymore
Jian Qin only felt that her feet were empty. Before she could react, Fu Jingshen held her with one hand and quickly took two steps back.
Jian Qin barely managed to stand up and heard a strong heartbeat beside her ear.
"There are stairs."
Chen Ye shouted from the side.
Jian Qin did not have time to thank him and quickly looked in the direction of Chen Ye. Sure enough, she saw a long flight of stairs leading to the underground on the solid ground.
"Here?"
Jian Qin's eyes flashed with surprise and her voice was very soft.
When Fu Jingshen heard her, he looked at her doubtfully. "What did you say?"
Jian Qin's long eyelashes drooped and she shook her head, "No."
She took the flashlight and shone it into the darkness.
Although it was dark inside the building, there was still moonlight. It was not to the extent that there was no light at all.
The other end of the staircase was completely dark, and one couldn't see the bottom at first glance.
"This place is quite dangerous." Jian Qin looked at the bottomless stairs and looked at Fu Jingshen.
"Are you afraid?"
Fu Jingshen asked her softly.
He would do his best to protect her, but if she was afraid, he would not force her.
Jian Qin let out a breath and was silent for a moment. She shook her head, "I am not afraid if you are here."
Fu Jingshen smiled faintly.
"Master Shen, we have found the location. Why don't we wait until tomorrow? If there is any danger inside, I am afraid it will be very troublesome."
Chen Ye said hastily.
He was afraid, but he was more worried about Fu Jingshen's safety.
Who knew what would happen down there?
"Wait outside first. Jian Qin and I will go down."
After Fu Jingshen said that, he took the flashlight and went down the stairs. Jian Qin followed behind him.
Chen Ye saw that she dared to go, so he gritted his teeth and finally pulled out his heel to go up.
The stairs were very long and one could hear the echoes quietly. The walls on both sides of the stairs were very dry and there was no moisture at all. There was even a faint smell of disinfectant in the air.
Chen Ye felt a chill on his back, and he started to have goosebumps.
"Jian Qin, you are quite bold."
Chen Ye said to Jian Qin.
He wanted to reduce some of his fear.
Jian Qin did not say anything. Her eyes were half closed and her fingers were gently holding onto the wall. Under her fingers was a familiar feeling of slight bumps.
"Jian Qin?"
Seeing that she did not speak and her expression was slightly serious, Fu Jingshen could not help but speak.
Only then did Jian Qin raise her eyes and look at him. "Previously, there was a lot of walking at night, so there was nothing to be afraid of."
Her voice was slightly heavy and a little unnatural.
Chen Ye's heart softened. He felt that Jian Qin was a little pitiful.
The night road in the countryside was even more dangerous for a little girl like her. He now felt some sympathy for her.
He had to treat her better in the future.
Chen Ye thought to himself.
Fu Jingshen sensed the subtle emotions in her tone, as if she was strong and calm in extreme fear. However, she hid it very well, making people wonder if it was an illusion.
It was as if she had evoked the fear that had been sealed deep in her heart for a long time.
What had she experienced before?
Jian Qin could sense Fu Jingshen's gaze, but she did not care.
After an unknown amount of time, a large protrusion appeared on her finger.
Jian Qin's footsteps paused for a moment.
She had arrived.
At the same time, the thick smell of disinfectant mixed with dust assaulted her face.
"Why is there such a strong smell of disinfectant?"
Chen Ye frowned and covered his nose.
Fu Jingshen gently waved the dust filled air and took a flashlight to illuminate the inside.
The entire basement looked very spacious from afar. It did not look like an underground building at all. In the darkness, one could only vaguely see a few things that looked like medical equipment.
Fu Jingshen was about to step forward when Chen Ye blocked him.
"Master Shen, let me do it."
Chen Ye perked up and was on full alert as he guarded his surroundings.
Jian Qin gently closed her eyes. The screams by her ears and the screams of fear kept rushing into her ears. The bright red blood and the silver scalpel were still vivid in her mind.
She clenched her fists tightly.
Her mind went blank for a moment.
"Jian Qin."
Fu Jingshen's voice rang in his ears, and his consciousness seemed to be pulled back in an instant.
Jian Qin slowly opened her eyes, and her face became even paler. Fortunately, no one noticed it in the darkness.
"Hmm?" Jian Qin looked at him with doubt.
Fu Jingshen rubbed her hair and smiled. "I know you are not afraid, but for safety's sake, follow me. Hold my hand tightly. Don't let go."
He said softly.
His voice was gentle.
Jian Qin hesitated for a moment before realizing that she had already let go of him.
Her fingers moved and after a long silence, she said lightly, "No need."
Her voice contained an undetectable coldness.
"What's wrong?"
Fu Jingshen smiled faintly, his tone somewhat doubtful.
"I can handle any danger. You don't have to take care of me like this." Jian Qin clenched her fingers a little and a dark light flashed in her pale eyes.
Fu Jingshen smiled again and held her hand.
Jian Qin frowned slightly.
"Not only for you, but also for the safety of me and Chen Ye." Fu Jingshen smiled and said, "Your intuition is quite accurate. If there is danger, we should leave as soon as possible."
Jian Qin was speechless."
Jian Qin did not say anything else and let him hold her hand.
His palm was warm and wrapped around her hand, making people feel very at ease. Her original vigilance and fear seemed to have been reduced by quite a bit.
"Master Shen, quickly come and take a look."
Chen Ye didn't know what he saw, but he shouted.
Jian Qin and Fu Jingshen walked forward and saw Chen Ye standing in front of a striking sign.
There were a few big words written on the silver sign.
R Experiment Research Base.
"So it's here." Chen Ye couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "No wonder we couldn't find it after such a long time. It's actually in this kind of damn place!"
It would be strange if they could find it in such a deep place.
"I'll go and find someone to repair the electricity." Chen Ye said as he made a call with his phone.
Just as he hung up the phone, a sound suddenly came from the empty laboratory.
"Who is it?"
Chen Ye instantly became alert. He took the flashlight and shone it at the location just now.
A black shadow quickly flashed past.
Chen Ye saw the spot where the black shadow had disappeared. His nerves tensed up and he chased after it with wide steps.
Just as Fu Jingshen was about to chase after it, he suddenly felt as if there was a gloomy line of sight in the darkness.
There was more than one person here.2
Fu Jingshen stopped and quickly extinguished the flashlight. He held Jian Qin's hand tightly.
"Don't go anywhere. Follow me."
Fu Jingshen whispered in a voice only they could hear.
Jian Qin nodded and looked around vigilantly.
She also noticed the line of sight in the darkness.
They were in the light while the other party was in the dark. Now that they were at a disadvantage, they would not be able to gain the upper hand if they really attacked.
Wild Waves stood guard outside, not knowing if Ling Qi would have a chance to enter.
Just as he was thinking about this, a black figure quickly flashed in the opposite direction of Chen Ye.
"Chase!"
Jian Qin did not hesitate.
The two of them quickly caught up.
It was pitch black and they could not even see their own hands. Jian Qin and Fu Jingshen almost hit the wall several times, but the other party seemed to be able to see the road and could always avoid the obstacles.
Not long after, the black shadow completely disappeared.
