Trembling At A High Altitude

Chapter 505

"The door is blocked, let's climb down from the window."

Li Teng went to the window and opened the curtains and looked up.

This is the fifth floor. There is a platform in the restaurant on the second floor. It is only six or seven meters from the window to the platform. Tie a few sheets and quilt covers in the room into ropes and you can easily climb to the restaurant platform on the second floor. There, avoid the evil spirits outside.

Cheng Qian looked out the window and was a little scared, but the evil ghost outside the door frightened her even more.

Choosing the lesser of two evils, Li Teng had no choice but to crawl down the sheets.

Soon Li Teng tied the sheets and quilt into a thick rope about five meters long, fixed one end to the iron window, and threw the other end down.

During this process, the evil spirit outside the door kept banging on the door, and it felt like it would smash the door panel at any time.

"Would you climb first or should I?" Li Teng asked Cheng Qian.

"I'll be scared if I crawl first." Cheng Qian looked down.

"Then let me crawl first, and then I will catch you below." Li Teng said to Cheng Qian.

"What if the evil spirit rushes in? If you go down, I will be the only one left in the room." Cheng Qian was still afraid.

"Let's climb together. You climb the rope. I won't use the rope and just climb the window pane." Li Teng had to think of another idea.

"Climbing the window pane?" Cheng Qian didn't quite understand.

Li Teng turned out of the window and stood on the window sill outside. Even without a rope, he could easily climb from the fifth floor to the second floor along these window sills.

"How are you climbing?" Cheng Qian looked at the platform below and was very scared.

"You just have to climb up. I will be near you and climb down with you." Li Teng explained to Cheng Qian.

"It's so high!" Cheng Qian was still scared and her whole body was shaking.

"If you don't climb out, the evil spirit will break down the door and get in." Li Teng threatened Cheng Qian. Of course, it was not a threat. The fact was that the evil spirit was about to break in.

Cheng Qian had no choice but to bravely climb out of the window railing and tightly grasp the ropes of the sheets and quilt outside.

"Don't look down. Climb down slowly. I'll be right next to you to protect you." Li Teng said to Cheng Qian.

Cheng Qian tried her best not to be afraid, but she was still very scared, holding on to the rope and not daring to move at all.

"The evil spirit has smashed the door. Climb down quickly or you won't be able to escape!" Li Teng threatened Cheng Qian again.

Cheng Qian had no choice but to crawl down.

Li Teng was clinging to the edge of the window. As long as Cheng Qian slowly climbed down, he could quickly climb to the second floor platform at any time.

Cheng Qian climbed twice, and the rope began to shake. She was so frightened that she held on to the rope tightly and did not dare to move.

"I'm supporting you. Don't be afraid. Climb quickly. If you don't crawl, the evil spirits will chase you and I won't be able to save you." Li Teng stretched out a hand to hold Cheng Qian's butt and urged her a few words.

"Leave me alone! Hold on tight! Don't fall and die!" Cheng Qian knew that Li Teng didn't even have a rope, but he actually held onto the window edge with one hand and supported her with the other, just in case he fell to death. , but no one saved her life at the critical moment.

"You have to climb down early, otherwise you won't have the strength to hold on to the rope later." Li Teng continued to urge Cheng Qian.

Cheng Qian gritted her teeth and continued to climb down. Li Teng was also looking for a handhold and a foothold on the nearby window pane.

After increasing his strength attribute to 20 and his endurance to 18, Li Teng can now easily hang himself with one hand, so as long as the exterior wall of the hotel is not a particularly smooth mirror surface, he can find a place to grab his hand.

The two of them approached the second floor platform bit by bit. After climbing for a while, Cheng Qian gradually became bolder and faster.

Just when the two climbed to the third floor and were still three or four meters away from the second floor, the evil spirit suddenly appeared outside the window of the room above. They saw Cheng Qian and Li Teng below, their menacing looks revealed, and it grabbed them hard. The sheet tied to the window rail was completely torn in a short time.

Cheng Qian was swaying below. When the evil ghost scratched the sheets to pieces, she screamed and fell down.

Fortunately, Li Teng had quick eyesight and quick hands. When she fell next to him, he freed up one hand to grab her belt and held her up.

"Grab my belt and try to hang yourself on me." Li Teng said to Cheng Qian. He had only one hand left and could not continue to climb down.

Cheng Qian was frightened half to death, and now she just came to her senses. After hearing what Li Teng said, she quickly stretched out her hands and grabbed Li Teng's belt. After Li Teng had both hands free, he quickly climbed down and quickly climbed down. Cheng Qian's feet soon touched the platform below.

Before the evil ghost chased him down, Li Teng and Cheng Qian quickly climbed into an open window on the platform and entered the restaurant on the second floor.

Then he rushed towards the stairs on the second floor of the restaurant.

Unexpectedly, the evil ghost moved very quickly, and now two evil ghosts appeared at the door of the restaurant together, blocking the entrance to the fire escape, making it impossible for the two of them to go downstairs from there.

Although this is the second floor, it is actually six or seven meters high, and the outer wall below is smooth. Li Teng cannot take Cheng Qian to climb down from the platform and can only take the stairs.

"You know the route we took to the hotel just now, right? I will find a way to attract the two evil spirits later, and then you can take the opportunity to escape from the stairs. After escaping to the street outside, continue along the same path we took earlier. Run forward and it will be safe after about 500 meters.

"You first find a hidden place to hide. After I escape, I will go there to find you. You look at the street. After I appear, you come out to meet me. If you can't wait for me after an hour, , just keep walking forward and find a safe place to stay." Li Teng pulled Cheng Qian back to the corner of the restaurant and whispered to her.

"But..." Cheng Qian hesitated. She didn't want to be separated from Li Teng. Once separated, she felt that there was no way she could survive on her own.

"It's nothing but this is the only way to go now. You must calm down and don't get hot-headed. Remember what I just said to you. If you have a chance, run downstairs resolutely and decisively. It's not easy for me to run with you around. Lu, once you’re safe, it’ll be much easier for me to escape.”

Li Teng said a few more words to Cheng Qian, and then swaggered towards the stairs blocked by two evil spirits.

After the two evil ghosts discovered Li Teng, they chased him. Li Teng fled deeper into the restaurant. Seeing the two evil ghosts giving way to the stairs, Cheng Qian gritted her teeth and touched the stairs carefully without hesitation. mouth, and then quickly ran downstairs.

Chapter 506

She ran downstairs in one breath and came to the lobby on the first floor. Then she escaped from the back door of the lobby on the first floor and passed through the parking lot to the street outside.

Then she started running forward in the direction she and Li Teng were walking on the street.

After running for a while, when she was almost exhausted, Cheng Qian estimated that she was already 500 meters away.

So she hid among the plants in the flower bed on the roadside, squatting there and looking at the street, waiting for Li Teng to escape and come over to meet her.

…

Ten minutes passed.

The streets were still extremely deserted, with not a single soul in sight.

Twenty minutes passed.

The streets were still extremely deserted, with not a single soul in sight.

Half an hour passed.

Li Teng still didn't show up.

Cheng Qian became desperate.

She had no idea what was going on right now. This alien space was too terrifying for her.

Without Li Teng, she wouldn't know where was safe, where to hide, let alone how to get out of here.

But looking at it now, Li Teng's chances are much worse.

Half an hour passed, but he still couldn't get rid of the two evil ghosts, and he might have died under their claws.

No matter how smart and powerful he is, he is only a mortal after all, and there is no way he can defeat those ghosts.

"You can't die! You lied to me to play this game and ended up in this situation. If you die, you will owe me your whole life! Even if I am a ghost, I will never let you go!" Cheng Qian cursed in her heart.

After a while, she recalled how good he was.

Reminiscing about the happy times she had with him when she was a child.

He was only one year older than her, and he was four when she was three. The two families were neighbors, and he had always taken care of her like her brother.

Li Huateng is not a rich second generation, but he started to stand out in high school. He attracted venture capital with an advanced network concept and founded Huateng Technology. In just a few years, he turned Huateng Group into a giant. industry.

Remember when she was five years old? The conditions in their homes at that time were not very good.

She had a distant cousin who came to her house from a big city when he was seven years old. The cousin saw that she was pretty and cute, so he bought her various toys and snacks.

She thought that cousin was very nice, so she followed him like a little tail.

But Li Huateng was unhappy and obviously jealous. He told her that her cousin was not a good person and asked her not to follow him. As a result, when he said that to her, her cousin happened to be nearby and heard him. And show up.

The two little 'men' fell apart on the spot because of her.

"Xiaoqian, I'll give you a choice. If you decide to play with him, eat his snacks, and play with his toys, I will never pay attention to you again. Anyway, there is him without me, and there is me without him. you decide."

Cheng Qian now clearly remembers what Li Huateng said to her at that time.

The cousin took out toys and snacks in front of her and said that as long as she played with him, she could choose any snacks and toys on the street.

At that time, Cheng Qian really felt that it was difficult to choose.

She wanted not only her cousin's toys and snacks, but also Li Huateng's company.

Seeing her in such trouble, Li Huateng told her to go to her cousin, and he left.

Seeing his lonely back, she suddenly felt very sad.

She told her cousin that she didn't want his toys and snacks, and then she ran after him.

She remembered him crying, but he wouldn't admit it.

Then he kissed her.

He said he would marry her when she grew up and earn a lot of money so that she would not run away from others just for snacks and toys.

Unfortunately, they broke up after graduating from junior high school.

That's a sad story.

Unexpectedly, many years later, the two would be entangled again in this way.

However, he has become a little strange recently, especially after his wife Huang Yan was killed. He seems to be a little different from before.

Unspeakable.

However, he is still so smart, bold, and independent, and he is not afraid of anything.

Cheng Qian, trapped in memories, unknowingly realized that an hour had passed.

It should be getting bright at this time, but no one showed any intention of getting up.

He still didn't show up.

He said that if he didn't come within an hour, she should stop waiting for him. He might have been killed, and let her find a place to stay on her own.

Cheng Qian didn't want to accept this fact.

If he died, she really didn't know what to do.

But should we continue to wait?

If she doesn't wait, where can she go?

An hour and twenty minutes passed unknowingly.

Just when Cheng Qian was completely desperate, the man appeared on the street.

His face looked tired and haggard, and he looked much older.

Cheng Qian rushed over like crazy, threw herself into the man's arms, and burst into tears.

"I thought you were dead! You bad guy! How could you leave me alone?" Cheng Qian cried and cursed.

"There's nothing I can do. I'm trapped by two evil spirits and I can't get away no matter what." Li Teng sighed.

"What did they do to you?" Cheng Qian looked at Li Teng distressedly.

"They intimidated and tortured me in all kinds of ways, and it was worse than death." Li Teng had a look on his face that he couldn't bear to look back on.

"How did you escape?" Cheng Qian continued to feel distressed.

"I am not a vegetarian. I took out an ancestral demon-suppressing mallet, which has boundless power to subjugate demons. I suppressed them by force, but it also consumed me completely and almost killed me!" Li Teng recalled him The scene of the fierce fight with the two evil spirits still left me in shock.

"The ancestral devil-suppressing mallet? Do you still have that kind of thing? Why haven't I seen it before?" Cheng Qian was a little stunned.

"That is a magic weapon. After suppressing the two evil ghosts, it completely lost its magic power. It is of no use for the time being." Li Teng shook his head.

"Didn't you realize that your ancestors knew how to subjugate demons?" Cheng Qian thought this was a bit bizarre.

"Let's keep moving forward. Although the two evil ghosts are restricted in their range of movement, as their magic power increases, they may be able to break through the area. It's safer for us to stay as far away from here as possible." Li Teng didn't want to talk about it anymore. What happened just now pulled Cheng Qian to move forward.

"It's already past five o'clock in the morning, it's still dark, and there are still about ten hours before the twenty-four-hour deadline. We won't be trapped in this alien space forever, right? Is there any way you can find it? The passage will take me out of here and back to the real world? I don't want to stay here." Cheng Qian suggested it to Li Teng as she walked.

"I don't want to stay here either, but I have no idea how to return to the real world." Li Teng shook his head.

Chapter 507

"I'm hungry and a little thirsty." After walking for a while, Cheng Qian mentioned it to Li Teng.

"There seems to be a supermarket and a bakery over there. Let's go and have a look and see if we can find some food and drinks." Li Teng pointed to the street ahead.

"Isn't this an alien space? Can the food in an alien space be eaten?" Cheng Qian was a little confused.

"Why are you thinking so much? I don't know if I can survive until the afternoon. Just eat when you're hungry!" Li Teng didn't take Cheng Qian's concerns seriously.

"Hey! Don't be so harsh, okay? What do you mean by being able to live until the afternoon? You hurt me, you should try to find a way for me to survive until the afternoon." Cheng Qian suggested to Li Teng.

Li Huateng's wife Huang Yan died. Li Huateng performed very well from yesterday to today. She wanted to get back together with him. Of course, she was too embarrassed to take the initiative to bring it up. It just depends on whether he has that intention.

"Don't worry! I will be responsible for the mistakes I make until the end." Li Teng chuckled.

"You also said that when you were in the first grade of junior high school, saying that you were curious about what I was doing, and then you took advantage of the fact that no one in my family did something to me that I didn't quite understand. Later I understood and questioned you, and you said You will be responsible for the mistakes you made, and what will be the consequences?" Cheng Qian suddenly heard Li Teng's words and couldn't help but think of an old incident.

"Holy shit! The first day of junior high school...the setting of this plot..." Li Teng complained helplessly.

"Are you speechless? Are you responsible to the end?" Cheng Qian deliberately reminded Li Teng.

"I don't remember what happened before." Li Teng answered Cheng Qian honestly.

"A man's promise... it's just that it's been a long time and he says he doesn't remember it." Cheng Qian was very sad. She thought he would get back together with her! It seemed like it was all wishful thinking on her part.

"If I really promised, I will be responsible to the end, don't worry. It was so dangerous just now, didn't I risk my life to let you escape first? Do you think I didn't do a good enough job?" Li Teng asked Cheng Qian.

"Well, maybe I asked for too much." Cheng Qian felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Li Teng said.

"Work hard to survive first and then talk about other things! Otherwise, everything will be empty talk." Li Teng came to the bakery.

Through the light of the street lamp, you can see that although the fresh bread shelves in the bakery are empty, there are still many bagged breads and various bagged baked snacks on the shelves inside.

There are also some drinks in the freezer.

The bakery door is locked.

But this doesn't bother Li Teng.

Anyway, there is no one in this alien space, so just open the door.

Li Teng searched around and found a stone in the flower bed. He smashed it against the locked door of the bakery, successfully broke the lock, and then walked in with Cheng Qian.

Not only was Cheng Qian hungry, Li Teng was also so hungry that his chest pressed against his back.

His consumption this night was so great that he was almost completely exhausted. If he did not make appropriate supplements, he might not even have enough energy to walk in the future.

After entering the bakery, Cheng Qian was still a little hesitant, but Li Teng did not hesitate at all. He opened a bag of bread and ate up a large red bean paste bread, and then another. Meat floss bread.

After eating two pieces of bread, I opened a few bags of snacks, such as peach cakes, Qima cakes, and small twists. Anyway, I opened the bags and stuffed them into my mouth.

Cheng Qian saw that Li Teng was eating so much and didn't care, so she stopped worrying and started eating with Li Teng. Of course, he won't gobble it up like Li Teng.

While eating, Li Teng suddenly rushed to the freezer, grabbed a bottle of drink and started drinking it.

"I almost choked to death." Li Teng drank the drink and stuffed a few small twists into his mouth.

"There's no one to compete with you, why are you in such a hurry to eat?" Cheng Qian didn't know what to say. This Mr. Li didn't look good at all. He just broke into someone else's bakery and ate for free. He still had enough to eat. So wild.

"I'm used to it." Li Teng thought of the days on top of the stone pillar without food or water.

"No matter how busy you are at work, you cannot save time for meals. You must not overeat like this. It is not good for your health. In these years, you have not had a considerate and caring person around you to take care of you, allowing you to develop such a bad habit. ." Cheng Qian felt distressed and angry. Of course, she was more hinting and reminding Li Teng.

However, Li Teng didn't react at all to what she said. He was just concentrating on those snacks and drinks.

"Can you give me some food?" A young voice suddenly sounded.

A dirty little girl suddenly appeared at the door of the bakery.

Cheng Qian was shocked.

"I'm hungry, can you give me something to eat? Please!" The little girl spoke again, but her tone didn't sound like she was begging.

"Here you go." Li Teng held a bag of bread and was about to hand it to the little girl.

"Don't go there! Who knows whether she is a human or a ghost?" Cheng Qian quickly grabbed Li Teng.

The little girl walked over on her own, and Cheng Qian quickly took the flashlight of her mobile phone and shined it at the little girl.

After seeing the little girl's face clearly, Cheng Qian couldn't help being shocked, and the phone in her hand almost slipped to the ground.

"You...you..." Cheng Qian was speechless.

"Do you know her?" Li Teng also felt something was not good in his heart. Cheng Qian didn't seem to be doing things cleanly! Is she haunted by ghosts wherever she goes?

"Mom." After the little girl approached, she looked at Cheng Qian and called her.

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you shouting about? Who is your mother?" Cheng Qian said in a very angry tone. She has been busy with her career these years and has no time to take care of those things. She is single and working hard outside.

This little girl called her mother in front of Li Huateng. Wasn't she deliberately trying to ruin her reputation? Give her no chance to get back together with Li Huateng?

"We look so similar, of course you are my mother, otherwise how would you explain it?" The little girl took a few steps closer and reached out to take the bread from Li Teng.

Only then did Li Teng take a closer look at the little girl's face.

Not to mention, she really looks like Cheng Qian, with her nose, eyebrows, eyes, face shape, everything.

"If you keep talking nonsense like this, believe it or not, I will tear your mouth apart?" Cheng Qian threatened the little girl angrily.

But her mind was a little confused at the moment... This little girl did look exactly like her when she was a child. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so surprised when she saw the little girl just now.

The question is, how could such a little girl suddenly appear here at this time?

Isn't this too weird?

Was it caused by the memories of her childhood when she was hiding in the flower bed just now?

Is this little girl a human or a ghost?
