Chapter 501 [Domain - First Gate] Repair
Similarly, there were no leaks.
However, the four people's feelings were completely different from when they checked the first room.
Neither room was occupied.....
What's next?
"...The maintenance department, come and check for leaks."
Feng Yao stood at the door of room 303, her tone different from before.
A few seconds later, a loud thud was heard from inside as something heavy fell to the ground.
The door opened.
A girl wearing a black vest and with a pale face stared blankly at them.
There was a ligature mark on her neck that was impossible to ignore.
The four exchanged a glance, cautiously entered the room, and immediately looked up at the ceiling, where they saw a knotted hemp rope hanging from the beam!
After confirming the location, Huang Yue quickly lowered his head.
But just then, he suddenly heard a faint female voice in his ear:
"What are you looking for?"
"We're checking for leaks." Feng Yao stood in front of Huang Yue, her tone remaining calm: "Have you found any places where water is seeping in?"
The girl pointed to the ceiling.
"..."
Feng Yao moved her throat, signaling Chen Ji to open the folding ladder.
But just then, the girl whispered:
"wrong."
"Move a little to the right."
Feng Yao's heart began to race, and her gaze flicked to her right, a meter away, where the roof beam was located.
"A little more to the right."
The girl murmured.
"A little more to the right, yes..."
"Correct."
"It's the roof beam."
Feng Yao clenched her fist tightly.
This scene is exactly the same as the hanging process.
hemp rope.
The object you step on could be a stool, or it could be... a folding ladder.
She probably knew what would happen next, but as the only person present who was proficient in repair skills, Feng Yao had no choice but to go up herself.
Before climbing the folding ladder, she quickly gave the other three people a wink.
The warning is quite clear.
She couldn't tie her feet to the ladder, otherwise her center of gravity would easily shift during repairs, so she had to rely on three other people to hold the ladder steady.
Under no circumstances should you allow the ladder to move.
If the ladder tilts, she will surely die unless she uses a magical artifact!
A triangle is the most stable structure, yet a folding ladder has four legs.
Chen Ji and Huang Yue each secured one leg, while Fei'er held onto the remaining two, instantly fixing the ladder to the ground as if it were welded shut.
"..."
Feng Yao felt a stronger sense of security from her than from Chen Ji and the other two.
Her face was tense, she bit the flashlight in her mouth, and gripped the top handle of the folding ladder tightly with her other hand.
As the beam of the flashlight swept across the roof beams, Feng Yao's heart sank.
There was indeed a crack in the white wall, from which water droplets were seeping out.
However, the crack was located directly behind the rope, at a slight distance.
She had just leaned forward a little when the noose suddenly grew larger, like a net, and snagged her neck!
Fortunately, the restrictions were not tightened.
The ladder has to be in this position, which means Feng Yao can't move it easily.
She could only maintain a very strange posture, leaning forward with a loose hemp rope around her neck, to repair the ceiling.
calm......
As long as there is something to support you, the rope will not tighten.
Feng Yao quickly calmed herself down, ignoring the prickly sensation on her neck, and began to examine the crack.
The crack is not large.
The water had already turned a section of the wall next to it gray.
It felt very damp to the touch. Feng Yao touched the water droplets and smelled a familiar scent.
It was slightly cool, like a mixture of metallic and damp earth.
It's raining.
The water from the tap doesn't taste like this.
But this is the third floor, how could rainwater seep into here?
The fourth floor is flooded?
Various thoughts flashed through Feng Yao's mind.
We don't have that many tools on hand, and they won't be here for more than a day, so we can just do a quick fix.
She quickly used a sponge to absorb the water near the crack, then slowly pushed the prepared rubber strip into the gap, squeezing it to fill it.
After doing all this, my feet were still firmly planted.
Next, all you need to do is seal it with butyl tape and you're done...
Just as Feng Yao's heart relaxed a little, her foot suddenly trembled, and she felt the folding ladder shake violently!
This nearly caused her to fall off the ladder, and the rope around her neck, as if sensing an opportunity, quickly tightened—
Feng Yao has found her balance again.
Her hands were covered in cold sweat!
At this moment, for some reason, the three people holding the ladder below remained silent...
......
Huang Yue kept his eyes tightly closed.
He held onto the ladder tightly; at that moment, the simple folding ladder was as firmly fixed to the ground as a stone.
However, Huang Yue still had concerns.
That is, the last leg of the ladder opposite him!
He was originally going to do it himself, but the girl with pigtails was incredibly fast and quickly gripped both sides.
At the same time, Huang Yue felt a chilling wind behind him.
This made him afraid to move around anymore.
But is this really reliable?
The ghost will definitely interfere when Feng Yao is repairing the crack. Will that girl really be able to hold on to the two ladder legs?
Huang Yue was highly suspicious!
Time passed bit by bit.
The sound of water droplets hitting the ground suddenly disappeared at a certain moment.
This proves that Feng Yao has temporarily plugged the crack, but there may still be some finishing touches to be done.
However, years of experience have taught Huang Yue that this is the most dangerous time, because ghosts would not let them live so easily.
As expected...
Soon, a slight tremor came from my palm.
The ladder is wobbling.
Like an earthquake, the frequency of this tremor is rapidly increasing, and the amplitude is getting larger and larger!
Huang Yue could already hear the girl beside him struggling to keep her balance; even he was finding it difficult to maintain his composure!
"Feng Yao, watch out!"
Huang Yue only had time to shout one sentence before his eyes suddenly narrowed. He saw the short girl opposite him and could no longer control himself, so he let go of one of her hands!
Her arms were still trembling uncontrollably, perhaps because of the force she was exerting.
Huang Yue's heart suddenly pounded. He heard a soft laugh behind him, followed by a chill that seemed to creep over him.
He gritted his teeth, swiftly pulled out one hand, and grabbed the remaining ladder leg!
"Just hold on tight to yours!" Huang Yue shouted impatiently.
However, at this moment.
The black-haired boy named Chen Ji seemed to be struggling too, and shouted at Huang Yue, "Help me steady this!"
"What the hell do I have hands?!"
All of this happened so fast that Feng Yao screamed and seemed to lose her balance.
Tsk!
Huang Yue didn't have time to think. He immediately clamped his legs together to hold his own leg in place, and reached out his remaining hand towards Chen Ji.
That's when.
He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm.
It felt like I'd been pricked by something sharp.
The moment the stinging sensation entered his brain, Huang Yue's vision blurred.
The next second...
He found himself like a bird spreading its wings, with both arms detached from the ladder legs, waving blindly in mid-air.
The girl, whom he had initially thought wouldn't be able to hold onto the ladder, had firmly secured the two ladder legs and was frowning as she stared at Huang Yue.
At the same time, a pale hand reached out from behind him, about to touch the ladder.
In a flash, Huang Yue realized that he had just been bewitched by a ghost!
The ladder didn't move at all.
His hand instinctively withdrew, and the instant the ghost touched the ladder, he grabbed the ladder leg he was responsible for!
That one second of mistake caused the entire ladder to tremble violently, with the gap at his point as the opening!
But after Huang Yue gripped the ladder tightly...
The pale hand recoiled abruptly, as if electrocuted.
A soft sigh came from behind.
It seemed as if they were regretting that they hadn't succeeded this time.
Huang Yue's heart pounded; he was so close to letting the ghost succeed...
Ultimately, it's because they don't fully understand the mechanics of this ghost.
It now appears that this ghost's abilities are not very strong; it cannot kill Feng Yao directly and must work in conjunction with the rope.
The ghost's main purpose was to disrupt the stability of the ladder.
But this ghost also has its limitations.
To do this, it must control an unattended ladder leg.
the other side.
Chen Ji remained silent.
He glanced at the pen stuck in Huang Yue's arm, then looked away, his brows furrowing slightly.
He was almost affected by the ghost as well.
But not this move.
But...
Another thing.
This female ghost had whispered in his ear not long ago:
"Aren't we partners?"
"Why do I have to go in and deliver the water all by myself?"
She was the first NPC to die in room 309.
