Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 898 The Legend of the Dark River 230

It turns out that they chose to take the stairs directly because they were afraid of encountering trouble with people.

“I’m not afraid.” Su Changhe said this, and then glanced at Li Chu.

"I also climbed up the stairs, and I did it faster, so I just consider it exercise." Mu Yumo pulled up a stool and sat down.

Everyone came here in unison, hoping to avoid any trouble.

Su Muyu didn't rest; he walked enthusiastically into the open kitchen.

"I'll help too. I brought some food with me, vegetables and meat. I'll cook today."

Seeing this, Mu Yumo instantly felt less tired and went over to comfort the person.

"Brother Yu, you just need to wash and chop the vegetables. There are many of us, so you don't need to do everything. Let the others do the cooking."

"Su Muyu, you're in charge of washing the vegetables, and then chop them up." Su Changhe assigned the task directly.

"Yes, yes, I'll cook." Bai Hehuai quickly offered, remembering the dishes Su Muyu had made last time.

“We have two pots. Bai Hehuai and I will cook, and the rest of you can prepare the ingredients,” Li Chu said with a smile, seeing that they were worried about Su Muyu cooking.

After thinking for a moment, she spoke again: "There are a few dishes that just require preparing the ingredients, pouring on the sauce, and steaming. There is a steamer here."

“Then I’ll be in charge of steaming the dishes. You teach me what seasonings to use and how to prepare the ingredients,” Su Changhe immediately said.

"can."

Soon, the rest of the people arrived.

They have fruit, wine, and beverages.

Everyone had their own specific tasks: some washed vegetables, some chopped vegetables, some stir-fried vegetables, some steamed vegetables, and some even washed fruits. The division of labor was very detailed.

A meal was set on the table, and everyone even went to move chairs from Su Changhe's house next door.

"Don't drink too much alcohol, and you still need to stay sober during the day," Su Changhe reminded everyone.

The word "daytime" is just a pronoun; what he's trying to say is that everyone needs to stay awake all day.

They all knew what was important and what was urgent, and no one was tempted by the wine.

Li Chu drank one more cup than the others; it felt like she hadn't had one in a long time.

The trip back home must be arranged immediately. We need to go out and see different scenery, taste delicious food, and relax.

She felt that it was easy for everyone to enter a world of rules when they gathered in their own local area.

Going out for a walk will surely give you a chance to rest for a while.

The interval between the two entries was too short.

After the meal, everyone unanimously suggested going out.

At a glance, it's clear that there's a rule that applies to everyone.

Because the elevator can only carry five people at a time, everyone decided to walk separately.

The others returned to their lodgings first, planning to go out later.

Li Chu looked around and saw that it was just her and Su Changhe; it seemed that no one else intended to go out with them.

"What are you looking at?"

"Look how well they coordinate with each other."

Su Changhe chuckled upon hearing this, showing no sign of guilt.

Can he say that it was because he hinted at it to others? Of course not.

"Maybe they're just being perceptive and don't want to bother us."

Seeing his undisguised expression, Li Chu curled her lips into a smile.

The two walked to the elevator entrance and waited for it.

Both elevators were on the first floor and took a while to come up.

With a ding, the elevator door opened.

An old lady was standing inside; she didn't say anything when she saw them.

They were about to go inside, but before they even entered, the elevator lights suddenly turned green.

Li Chu paused in her steps, and at the same time, Su Changhe also grabbed her.

"Are you coming in or not?" the old lady asked.

What would normally be a normal situation is not normal in a world governed by rules.

Moreover, under the green light, the old woman's face looked eerie.

Li Chu's rules only indicated a red light; she didn't know what a green light meant.

I just instinctively felt that I couldn't go in.

However, Su Changhe had just pulled him, so he should know that.

Su Changhe always smiles first when he meets people, but the smile isn't directed at anyone; it's just a smile he makes whenever he feels like it.

"This is the elevator going up. We won't go in; we'll wait a bit longer."

Li Chu even stepped forward and pressed the close button inside the elevator.

Meeting the old lady's gaze, she gave her a friendly smile: "Grandma, take care."

Rule two cannot be violated; we should get along amicably. Isn't that friendly enough?

Upon hearing this, the old lady looked away, and the elevator doors gradually closed.

Just then, the elevator next to us arrived.

Su Changhe and Li Chu exchanged a glance, tacitly avoiding discussing what had just happened.

They entered the elevator, and for the time being, there were no problems.

Watching the elevator descend, Su Changhe turned to look at Li Chu: "...

But before I could even say anything, the elevator started to shake.

Just when I thought I was temporarily safe, something terrible happened.

He didn't say anything more, but his first reaction was to grab the arm of the person next to him to see what was going on.

The white lights inside the elevator suddenly turned red.

They are currently on the fifteenth floor, heading down to the fourteenth floor.

Li Chu reacted quickly and pressed the button for the next floor.

Time seemed to pass exceptionally slowly in the west during the descent.

The elevator's initial slight vibrations began to grow increasingly intense.

It felt like they were being thrown out; standing inside made me feel nauseous.

The two supported each other, leaning their weight on the elevator; both of them had some strength to avoid falling.

The signs for the 15th floor and the downward arrow on the display screen kept moving, but remained unchanged.

"Is the elevator broken?" Su Changhe didn't know much about elevators, but he figured it must be related to the rules.

Li Chu gave an irrelevant answer: "We'll go out on the next floor, and then we'll take the stairs."

Having understood the meaning behind her words, Su Changhe nodded.

He wasn't afraid at all. Holding onto Li Chu's arm, he even had the urge to reach out and put his arm around her shoulder.

Suddenly, a weight came down on her shoulder, and Li Chu glanced at him.

With each jolt of the elevator, the hand on her shoulder tightened its grip, pulling her closer to him.

Su Changhe wasn't embarrassed by her gaze and suggested with a smile, "This is more convenient. If you can't stand steadily, you can lean on me. I don't mind."

"Are you this kind to everyone else too?"

"I'm innocent! That was definitely only done to you."

Seeing that Li Chu didn't speak, he continued, "Really."

"The elevator has arrived, let's go out."

As soon as Li Chu finished speaking, the elevator doors opened with a ding, and she stepped out first.

Su Changhe withdrew his empty hand, glanced at the display screen, which showed the fourteenth floor.

The two walked to the stairwell, which was very dark, and the motion-activated lights did not turn on no matter how they tried to make a sound.

"They took the stairs before they ate, and they hadn't mentioned the light was broken then, but it's broken now?"

"Be careful, don't slip," Li Chu reminded him, emphasizing the importance of the first three words.

Su Changhe suddenly grabbed her hand and said before she could react, "Hold my hand, I'm afraid I won't see where I'm going and I'll fall."

Someone like him, how could he possibly fall?

"He's been making quite a few little tricks," Li Chu thought to herself in the darkness.
