"If you need any help from me, just ask me. My name is Xie Guoan. I have a second-hand book stall at the flea market."
Fortunately, Lao Xie has fainted now. If he hears Chu Ping using his name to introduce himself to his family, he will have to fight him desperately.
"I feel sorry for you."
The boy was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"You don't want to see me again, you can go out now."
The boy closed the white door, leaving Chu Ping standing outside the door covered in cold sweat.
"The man and woman inside the White Gate should be the boy's parents. I didn't expect him to choose such a method of punishment."
Chu Ping thought that the ones who had been bitten by countless spiders in Room 303 would be the boy's parents, but he didn't expect that he just chose to let them stay with him.
"Looking at it this way, the boy in room 302 is quite kind. You can consider having a relationship with him in the future. Maybe it will be useful in the future."
The more friends you have, the easier your journey will be.
This has always been a wise saying that Chu Ping believed in.
Jiang Qing had returned to her diary, and the reddish-brown diary fell to the ground, as if nothing had happened before.
"You should be full by now."
Chu Ping took the reddish-brown diary in his hand and opened the first page.
This page is the only content in the entire diary, and it records things related to Jiang Qing.
"Now this page is almost covered in red, and I don't know what will happen when it turns completely red."
Chu Ping tried to call Jiang Qing, but there was no response.
"Tsk, tsk, sleep after eating, what a happy life."
Now the sound of spiders outside has disappeared. According to the boy behind the white door, he was only able to temporarily suppress the spiders, and the exit to the second floor is in Room 301.
"It's really strange. When we came up, the stairs were clearly in the corridor, but now it's room 301."
Now was not the time for Chu Ping to think too much. Chu Ping woke up Lao Xie Tou, who was still sleeping.
"Little brother, look at your Yintang turning black..."
Chu Ping didn't give Lao Xie a chance to continue and patted him on the shoulder.
"If you don't want to die, come with me."
At this time, Lao Xie was still a little confused, but when he saw the scratches under the wall, he seemed to remember what happened just now.
"Damn it! I'm not dead?"
"No, but if you were any slower, you would really die."

Chu Ping opened the door directly. It was pitch dark outside, but the boy was telling the truth. The spider outside was really gone.
Chu Ping took out his cell phone and walked toward room 301 in his memory with the help of the faint light.
Lao Xie didn't dare to stay in this room. When he saw Chu Ping leaving, he followed him.
The door of Room 301 was opened by Chu Ping, and a downward staircase came into view.
"this······"
Chu Ping looked around with some uncertainty and determined that except for the stairs here, there was no other way to go.
"What a strange building."
"Why are the stairs on this floor behind the door?"
Lao Xie came behind Chu Ping and looked at the end of the darkness. Lao Xie was obviously a little scared.
"That kind of thing won't happen again, will it?"
Chu Ping was also afraid of encountering arms trying to drag him into the wall on the stairs again.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Chu Ping bravely stepped towards the first step of the stairs.
Darkness gradually submerged Chu Ping's figure, a dark wind blew in his ears, and waves of chill spread throughout his body from the inside out.
Chu Ping shuddered.
"It's still so cold. I don't know if there are thicker clothes in room 302."
At this time, Lao Xie also followed up, but he only dared to take a step after Chu Ping took a step behind him.
Nothing happened on the stairs. When the two of them stepped down the last step, Chu Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why is there no more?"
There was a hint of despair in Lao Xie's voice.
"What's missing?"
Chu Ping didn't know why, so he turned around and instantly understood what Old Xie Tou meant. The stairs only ended here, but the stairs that continued downward were gone.
"Are you still in a certain room?"
Chu Ping felt more and more that this building was scary. The way out was completely different from the way in. It was as if there was a living thing controlling all the structures here.
"I remember there was a room on the second floor with an open window."
Chu Ping thought of Room 203 with the broken glass.
"According to what the boy said, every room in this building contains a strange being. The broken window in Room 203 on the second floor..."
Chu Ping had a very bad suspicion in his mind.
"Is there a strange being running out of here?"
Chu Ping felt a little unsure. He didn't know who the strange existence that ran out was.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
What? In other words, even if he appeared next to him, Chu Ping would not be able to recognize him.
Thinking of this, Chu Ping looked at the timid old Xie Tou behind him.
Chu Ping always felt that Lao Xie's appearance was too strange.
"We don't care about that much for now, let's go out first and talk about it later."
Chu Ping made up his mind and went directly into the corridor on the second floor.
“Where is 203······?”
Chu Ping took his mobile phone and started looking for room 203 by relying on the faint light.
"201······"
The rusty door number hung crookedly on it, and it seemed that with just a little effort, it could be pulled off the door.
"What's locked in here?"
Chu Ping held his breath and stood in front of the door for a long time.
"very quiet."
Chu Ping was thinking about whether he should open the door and take a look.
At this moment, Lao Xie came over.
"Is the exit in here?"
"no."
Chu Ping was worried that Lao Xie would be reckless, so he opened the door directly and took the lead in dragging him away, away from the door of No. 201.
"The days are long and I will figure out the secret here sooner or later."
Chu Ping always felt that everything seemed to happen by coincidence. The mutation in Building 44 happened ten years ago, and the mysterious beggar also appeared ten years ago, including the No. 405 bus that indirectly caused his parents' car accident.
The car explosion also occurred ten years ago.
"What happened ten years ago? How could there be so many coincidences? It seems that establishing a relationship with the boy in Room 302 will be put on the agenda."
Chu Ping believed that the boy in room 302 must have secrets that he had not told him.
"There can't be secrets between friends."
While Chu Ping was planning when to take Jiang Qing to talk to the boy in Room 302, he dragged Lao Xie to the door of Room 203.
Just like when Chu Ping came up, the door to room 203 was ajar.
"Creak——"
The door was opened, and the dim streetlight shone in through the glassless window, forming a clear dividing line in front of the door.
"You don't want to jump from here, do you?"
Lao Xie also saw the broken window, and then showed an expression of disbelief.
"What else? Can you find another way?"
Lao Xie opened his mouth, and he suddenly realized that what Chu Ping said was right, and he could not find any other way out.
