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

Chapter 901 The Legend of the Dark River 233

Li Chu took out her key from her pocket, opened the door, and the two went inside.

"Did you run into anyone else when you came back?"

"Met."

"We are too, and now we're two fewer people."

Li Chu remained silent; indeed, several people had been lost here.

There were twenty of them before they came in, but now there are only fifteen left.

"Please tell everyone to pay more attention." After thinking for a moment, this was all Li Chu could say.

Danger is unavoidable here; it all depends on everyone's luck and reaction time.

"Yes, I know." Su Changhe seemed quite open-minded, without much emotional fluctuation.

"Don't even think about it. I'll teach you how to cook, and then you can reserve a spot in the kitchen."

Su Changhe didn't say he wouldn't learn, but instead asked, "You're such a good cook, don't you like cooking?"

She had never cooked for herself before.

Su Changhe only realized yesterday that she was such a good cook, but it seems she doesn't really like going into the kitchen.

Unfortunately, I hadn't tasted any of her cooking in the previous decades.

As for cooking, it depends on my mood.

Li Chu taught Su Changhe two of the simplest dishes.

As for how well he learns it since it's his first time, it doesn't matter; he can practice again when he has the chance.

It was getting late, so Su Changhe didn't stay any longer and returned to his residence.

Li Chu took a shower and then settled on the sofa to watch TV.

The rules were mostly in the elevator, so she didn't pay much attention to them.

The following day, Li Chu still chose to go out at night.

The main problem is that she only gets up in the afternoon, eats, and then plays for a while, which usually makes it almost evening.

None of the others have the habit of sleeping in late; they all get up early.

So today, she's the only one who hasn't left the house yet.

I ordered takeout for dinner, and after eating, I went out to throw out the trash at home, thus completing my outing task.

While waiting for the elevator, another unexpected event occurred.

The noise in the stairwell was too loud; she couldn't pretend she hadn't heard it.

Pushing open the door, you can clearly hear someone running downhill, followed by a cacophony of rustling sounds.

It sounded like something crawling.

Li Chu looked up and felt sorry for the person being chased.

Xie Qianji ran to this floor and saw Li Chu, not daring to stop: "Run! There are spiders everywhere behind us!"

“If you take the elevator, they won’t leave the stairwell.”

When Li Chu opened the door behind her, she paused for a moment.

Xie Qianji didn't notice; he was actually quite relieved to see that the door could be opened.

When you're up there, you can't open the door by yourself, so you can only keep running down.

Before the two could even close the door after entering, they saw that the stairs were covered with spiders.

The palm-sized red-eyed spiders all looked exactly the same, as if they came off an assembly line.

It crawled very fast and reached the door in no time.

"Take off your clothes," Li Chu said, throwing away the trash she was carrying.

"Huh??" Xie Qianji was momentarily stunned by her words, but he still did as she said.

Then, he saw Li Chu take a lighter out of his pocket and throw it onto the garbage bag.

Once the fire was lit, all the spiders retreated.

That's when I realized what she wanted to do.

He quickly took off his coat and threw it into the fire to intensify the flames.

Only when the authorities came to their door were the two of them completely safe.

Why didn't you take the elevator, you took the stairs instead?

She knew she would encounter danger when she went up the stairs last time.

Su Changhe must have guessed it too; he just didn't tell anyone else.

Before Xie Qianji could speak, Su Changhe heard the sound, opened the door, and came out.

The first thing he saw was Li Chu, who had no expression.

Then I looked at Xie Qianji, who was only wearing a single layer of clothing, and his condition after strenuous exercise.

"What's wrong with you?"

Xie Qianji was still a little out of breath: "The elevator was too dangerous, so I thought I'd check out the stairwell. Then I got chased by thousands of spiders. Li Chu just helped me."

"Didn't I warn you last time that it's dangerous to take the stairs?"

"I only intended to take a quick look, but who knew that once I went in I couldn't get out, and I couldn't open the door."

"And you?" Su Changhe asked Li Chu.

"I went to throw out the trash, and I just heard a noise inside, so I opened the door."

Upon hearing this, Xie Qianji asked her, "By the way, Li Chu, how did you open the door? I tried every door in front of me, and they wouldn't open."

Li Chu shook her head: "I don't know. Maybe it's because I just went in, or maybe you're their target, that's why I was able to open the door."

Without spiritual power, we really couldn't have opened the door just now.

"Oh, that's possible, but I don't dare to try it again. I'll just take the elevator."

Thinking back to what I just experienced, without any weapons or internal energy, I would really be at a disadvantage against so many spiders.

Thinking of this, Xie Qianji looked at Li Chu gratefully again: "Thank you for your help just now."

"You're welcome."

Su Changhe watched the two chatting and laughing (actually, they were just talking normally).

He said to Xie Qianji, "You don't need to go out today, right? Go home and rest early. Be careful next time and don't go out alone."

Many people have suffered losses in the past two days, and he doesn't want anyone else to get hurt.

"Okay, then I'll go upstairs first."

Xie Qianji was also very perceptive and pressed the button for the elevator going up.

After waiting for a short while, he entered the elevator and left.

Li Chu also pressed the elevator button, intending to go downstairs for a walk.

"You won't go back yet?"

"I don't have anything to do, so I thought I'd go for a walk with you," Su Changhe said with a smile, leaning against the wall.

"Every time you go out, you face an increased risk."

"It's okay, you wouldn't just watch me get hurt, would you?"

"Do you still need my protection?"

"You just saved someone, but you can't do it when it comes to me?"

"Why does what you said sound a bit sarcastic?" Li Chu glanced at him with a smirk.

Upon hearing this, Su Changhe was at a loss for words and couldn't help but laugh: "Just kidding."

They didn't run into anyone when they went out.

But when they came back, someone took the elevator with them and they were all waiting for the elevator on the first floor.

Li Chu glanced at who it was, then stopped paying attention.

Su Changhe didn't recognize the man. He glanced at him discreetly for a few moments, wondering what kind of trouble he would face next.

The person waiting for the elevator was Zhao Qiping, who was wearing a long trench coat.

He didn't speak to people he didn't know.

If we're going to talk, we'll have to wait until we get to the main topic. After all, we're all people and oddities bound by rules.

The elevator doors opened, but a red light was on inside.

Li Chu and Su Changhe looked at it, but neither of them moved.

Zhao Qiping, who had been quiet, suddenly turned around and asked as if a switch had been flipped: "Why aren't you two going in?"

Li Chu raised her eyes and made up a story: "I'm allergic to red lights, I'll wait for the next one."
