But right now, both of them had disappeared.

The beam of light emitted by the phone he was holding flickered and it issued a notification that the phone was low on battery. CAcONX

He pondered his options for a short beat and took out a card.

A petite old lady materialised from nothing and as she pressed a palm against her chest, she could not stop gasping: “Huff huff huff—”

The Faceless Ghost moved closer and blew a gust of yin filled air.

No matter how its yin air was disrupted, the soul light on Shen Dongqing’s shoulder would… dnsVrF

Wait, why didn’t this person have a soul light at all?

Before the Faceless Ghost could puzzle over the conundrum, it was pressed against the wall by Shen Dongqing.

“Blowing air?”

The Faceless Ghost keenly felt a scalding pain at the place it was being held by, and it made his entire ghost tremble. It was at that moment where it understood that it had kicked an iron plate so it shook its head desperately in response. “I, I…” 4eD9OX

Before he could get all his words out, it heard Shen Dongqing say, “It’s quite comfortable, blow more.”

There were no windows in this stairway and the air had no ventilation at all. It was stuffy and hot, in addition to the pervasive putrid odour hanging in the air which was making him incredibly irked the longer he stayed there.

When that gust of yin air brushed past him just now, it made his heart untroubled and pleased his spirit.

Faceless Ghost: …… zmSaXc

Shen Dongqing relaxed his grip.

Despite that, the Faceless Ghost did not dare to run and it became Shen Dongqing’s manual air conditioner, aggrieved.

While he was enjoying the cold air, Shen Dongqing asked: “What’s going on with these stairs?”

The Faceless Ghost replied, “They are endless stairs.” BR LxO

Shen Dongqing raised his head to observe it, and sure enough, the staircase above seemed to spiral without an end.

“Do you know how to get out of here?”

Faceless Ghost shook its head: “I’m being trapped here as well; I couldn’t get out no matter what.”

It had not been easy for it to meet someone who could become his meal but he unexpectedly bumped into a big boss. eP431A

Shen Dongqing contemplated it for a moment before he turned around and walked down the stairs.

He did not forget to grab the Faceless Ghost, his air conditioner, to bring along with him.

They walked onto another bend. lBIxZ5

Yet, Shen Dongqing was faced with the bright “13” on the wall.

It was still the thirteenth floor.

Faceless Ghost: “You can’t get out. I don’t know how many years I’ve been walking in here, but I have always been on the thirteenth floor.”

Shen Dongqing stepped towards the door and pushed it. NFSdum

There was no lock and the metal door opened with a creak. Although the sound was not loud, it was particularly sharp in the quiet stairway.

Shen Dongqing had long been accustomed to the darkness and he stuck his head out to look.

Behind the door was not an exit, but the same kind of stairs, and the corresponding wall at the back had the exact same blood red “13” written on it.

Since they were endless stairs, it was definitely without an end. wR92Ou

This made Shen Dongqing mutter to himself: “I hate deciphering games the most.”

Thus, he used the most simple and crude method— he flipped over the staircase railings and jumped down.
