Chapter 126

There are roasted chestnuts for sale inside the mall, but shouting is strictly forbidden.

Furthermore, what kind of situation is this? Everything around is pitch black, and the entire first floor of the mall seems to have been pulled into another mirror world.

Who would dare to sell chestnuts in such a situation? The college student nodded, furrowed his brows, and said, "That makes sense. Let's not go over to the chestnut seller for now. Since we can't get out from the first floor, let's go check the elevator on the second floor to see if we can go up."

As he spoke, the others agreed and followed behind him toward the elevator.

Fortunately, the elevator was still running.

The left side is for going up, and the right side is for going down.

The group stood by the elevator and looked upward. It was pitch black, and the light could not shine into it; it was as terrifying as an abyss that swallowed everything.

"Since it was your idea, you go up first. If there's no problem, we'll follow," the trendy young man said, pointing at the college student, showing some cleverness.

The college student froze, his expression stiffening.

He took the opportunity to step aside and sneered coldly, "In this situation, the most useless people should go. After all, regarding these matters, only I and this fatty have heard of them. Do you agree that makes sense?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked in unison at Xu Jiajia and the two others behind them.

From the beginning until now, the three of them had not said a word and only followed behind; they were indeed the most useless.

The trendy young man also turned his head and sneered coldly, "That makes sense. You few are the most useless, hurry up and go up."

"Yes, yes, yes, you find someone to go and test it."

The spearhead was pointed entirely at Xu Jiajia and the two others.

Two women and a child, with not a single man beside them, were naturally the easiest to bully.

Even if they were being targeted, they had no strength to refute it at all.

"Meili, you and Xiao Wan wait here, I'll go up." Xu Jiajia glared at them fiercely and took off her bag.

She could choose not to go up, but the problem they were facing next would be unsolvable.

Moreover, if she didn't go up, it was very likely that the three of them would be attacked, and the outcome would be the same. For the sake of Xiao Wan and Meili, she decided to go up alone.

Tang Meili grabbed her, "No, if we go, we go together. If we die, we die together."

After saying this, she stood on the elevator first without looking back. Seeing this, Xu Jiajia pulled Xiao Wan and stood on it as well.

The backs of the three grew further and further away on the elevator, while the people below watched with cold eyes, waiting for the result.

A few seconds later.

The same elevator—they went up from the left side, and as a result, they came back down from the right side.

The college student hurried forward, full of anger, and said, "What is wrong with you? Who told you to come down without permission? Don't you know how to speak up? Is it safe up there?"

He roared out without a second thought.

The series of questions and his tone made Xu Jiajia and the other woman very unhappy.

Tang Meili frowned, her eyes cold, "What do you mean 'without permission'? We come down when we want to, and it's none of your business. Also, who told you we came down? We didn't move at all after going up from the left side; this elevator sent us directly back down."

As she spoke, she placed a bag on the left elevator, and sure enough, not long after, the bag came back down from the right elevator.

Only then did everyone understand what she was talking about.

The college student immediately withdrew his previous expression; his face recovered very quickly and naturally.

He began to analyze, "We can't get out on the first floor, we can't go up to the second floor, and we definitely can't go to the basement. The only place we haven't been to yet is the entrance where they sell chestnuts."

"You mean for us to go directly over there?" the trendy young man asked. The college student nodded, "We could do that, but we could also choose to drag it out until the official people come to save us. I saw on the internet that the authorities have a type of person specifically for dealing with these supernatural events. Since such a big incident happened at the mall, they should have received the news and are on their way."

When Tang Meili heard this, she was immediately displeased, "Since you know someone is coming to save us, why did you make us go up and take risks? What if there was danger up there just now and we died?"

The college student dismissed it with disdain and tossed his hair in a very adolescent way, "Didn't you come out unscathed? If there's a choice, you always have to try."

"You—"

The group stood silent in place.

After a few seconds, someone retorted. It was the fatty who spoke. He was silent for a moment and said, "Sitting and waiting for death is the worst plan. At least in the cases I've seen online, people who sit and wait for death rarely survive. I'm going to the chestnut seller's side; maybe there's still a chance. What about you?"

"We..."

These few people were discussing.

Only Tang Meili held Xiao Wan's hand, squatted down, and asked cautiously, "Xiao Wan, are the toy bear and Mommy by your side? What should we do now? Auntie Meili is so scared, and Auntie is also very scared."

Xiao Wan tilted her head to look at Auntie Meili and then said, "The toy bear isn't here, but Mommy has always been by my side. Auntie Meili, don't be afraid, let's go down and eat chestnuts. Xiao Wan wants to eat them!"

Hearing Xiao Wan's words, Tang Meili felt reassured.

Without waiting for the result of their discussion, Tang Meili pulled Xu Jiajia, "Let's go, we're going over. Don't sit here and wait for death. God knows when the official people will arrive; otherwise, we won't even know how we died."

As she spoke, she didn't forget to glare fiercely at the college student.

Since Lin Qing is here, what am I afraid of? Xiao Wan said she would protect me.

Originally, the situation was one-sided, with everyone standing on the college student's side, while only the fatty agreed to go down.

As a result, once Tang Meili spoke up, it was suddenly different.

Everyone felt that what she said made sense; waiting in place was not as good as looking for an opportunity.

Especially the trendy young man, "What she said makes sense. I'd rather make a mistake than do nothing at all."

In an instant, he was the only one who agreed to stay.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes revealing a murderous gaze as he stared at Tang Meili, "Are you trying to get everyone killed? Don't you know who the leader is now? If we listen to you and everyone dies, what then? You're just a woman, what do you know?"

Tang Meili did not show weakness and raised her middle finger, "Asshole, who told you to listen to me? If you want to stay, then stay; it's none of my business. And what leader? Did I agree to it? Did everyone agree to it? Put away your adolescent delusions; this isn't a game, and no one is going to play along with you."

As she spoke, she pulled Xu Jiajia and turned to leave.

These words made the college student's face turn blue and red; he felt humiliated to the core.

Just as she took a step, the college student behind her rushed over.

"You bitch, do you think I'm giving you face?"

As he spoke, he reached out violently to grab Tang Meili's hair.

However, before he could touch Tang Meili's hair, the little girl holding hands between the two turned around.

Her expression carried a smile, and her face was as fair as a porcelain doll.

"Big brother, do you want to join in?"

The college student's body came to a sudden halt as he looked at the little girl.

The next second, the fingers the college student had extended fell to the ground with a *plop*.
