However, he waited for half a moment and still didn’t get a response."Chi Enen!" Li Beijue slammed furiously on the top panel of the Elevator, the unease in his heart expanding without limit. His leg had been scraped open from the impact just now, blood soaking through his pants, a circle of red clearly visible to the naked eye. But he acted as if he didn’t feel any pain, pounding loudly on the top panel of the Elevator, growling low, "Chi Enen, talk! Shi-t! Don’t you dare scare me!"
If she didn’t say something soon, he was going to lose it!
Worried to the point of losing it!
Terrified to the point of losing it!
Li Beijue’s eyes were bloodshot, like Lucifer crawling out of hell, handsome yet exuding a bloodthirsty aura.
Right before he went completely mad, a faint response finally came from inside the Elevator: the person inside made a small knocking sound, as if answering him.
Right after that, a weak voice drifted out, "Li Beijue, my stomach hurts..."
Very soft.
But he heard it.
The heart that had been jammed up in his throat and almost crushed to pieces finally stuck back together.
She’s there!
Just as he’d thought, this Woman really was trapped in here inside!
She could still talk, which meant for the moment her life wasn’t in danger.
Once he confirmed that, he calmed down a lot. He quickly undid the bag on him, took out all kinds of small tools from inside, and said, "I’m here. Don’t be scared, I’ll get you out right away!"
"...Mm."
The voice from inside the Elevator sounded like there was nothing seriously wrong.
Li Beijue swiftly opened the Inspection lamp overhead, took off his gloves, and started focusing completely on using the tools at hand to unscrew the Screws on the Top Floor of the Elevator.
His movements were fast, fine Sweat beading on his forehead.
At the same time he didn’t forget to talk to the person inside, "Are you an idiot? The Elevator’s got problems and you still got in!"
The person curled up in the dark Elevator corner twitched the Corner of the mouth when she heard this, wanting badly to retort that she hadn’t known the Elevator had problems.
But she really didn’t have the strength to speak anymore.
Right now every single breath of Air she took felt unbearably painful.
Her lungs felt like they were being stabbed with a needle dipped in Saline drip, and she had no strength left anywhere in her body.
What hurt even more was her stomach; the stomach had started cramping. She could only curl herself up in the corner, huddling as tightly as she could, adjusting her breathing, trying to breathe as little of the Air in the Elevator as possible...
If Li Beijue hadn’t suddenly shouted her name just now, she would have already "fallen asleep" in this pitch-black Elevator where you couldn’t see your own five fingers.
"You remember that Snail, right? When we get back, I’ll give you that Snail. You’re like a Snail all day long anyway, stupid!"
"..." Since when are Snails stupid?
Chi Enen knew he was deliberately saying provocative things to keep her conscious, but she really didn’t have the strength to answer him.
Li Beijue sped up his hands, needing to focus all his attention on the Work in front of him, while at the same time worried the person below wouldn’t be able to hold on.
Seeing that she didn’t make a sound.
He couldn’t help it and called her again, "Chi Enen."
"Mm." Right now Chi Enen could only manage this simple nasal sound in reply.
Hearing her answer, Li Beijue relaxed a little. As he quickly removed the Screws on the Top Floor of the Elevator one by one, he would every so often call out the name of the person below to make sure she was still conscious.
Finally, the last Screw came off.
He stood at the edge and pulled open the steel plate on top of the Elevator—
The only reason he could open the top of the Elevator so quickly was because the top of this Elevator wasn’t welded. He had looked at the Blueprint and the structure of the Elevator, confirmed the type of Elevator it was, and only then jumped down without hesitation.
If the top of the elavator had been welded, then even if he jumped down it would’ve been useless. It would only increase the load on the Elevator and make it even more dangerous for the person inside!
