Chapter 850: Chapter 470: Mutation of the God of Death (3)

Seeing Zhang Xiaomo suddenly glance in the direction of the stairwell, Yan Junze’s first reaction was to think that Wu Mayun had come back.

He immediately looked over, found nothing there, and then realized that Xiaomo’s intention might be for the two of them to head in that direction, through the stairwell.

Somewhat surprised, he looked at Xiaomo, who slightly nodded at this moment, first glancing at Zhang Chengjing, then at Yan Junze.

Yan Junze understood, this was Zhang Chengjing telling Zhang Xiaomo to leave with him through the stairwell instead of following the others and cramming into the elevator.

Zhang Xiaomo had already moved behind him, tugging gently at his hand. Yan Junze nodded, immediately turned around, and the two stepped aside, leaving the group.

Just then, the elevator dinged, and the one coming from above seemed a second quicker, arriving first as the elevator doors slowly opened.

With Wang Shu leading, the people were just about to enter when everyone suddenly jolted, their gazes stuck on the elevator interior.

At that moment in the middle of this elevator stood a thin, gaunt figure with hands hanging down and head slightly lowered, it was Wu Mayun, her face covered by short hair.

For some reason, Wu Mayun was in the elevator.

Wang Shu, Zhang Chengjing, and the others were dumbstruck, apart from that, no one dared to move, just standing rigidly outside the elevator, like the stilled women, pretending to be unconscious.

Wu Mayun also didn’t make any movements, just standing quietly inside, the thick short hair completely covered her face, it was unclear whether she was watching these people or not.

Both elevators almost simultaneously arrived at the 13th floor, only Wu Mayun’s elevator opened a second earlier, then the other elevator also dinged, and its doors finally opened.

Although Wang Shu and the others dared not move, and their gazes were still fixated on Wu Mayun inside the elevator, their peripheral vision still caught a glimpse of the situation in the other elevator.

That elevator was empty.

The doors of the opened elevator lingered for a moment, then Wu Mayun’s elevator doors were the first to close.

The next second as these elevator doors began to close, the doors of the second elevator next to it also made a noise and began to close as well.

The closing doors hid Wu Mayun’s figure from everyone’s sight, but they didn’t dare to move immediately, instead, they continued to stand, silently waiting.

The second elevator’s doors also closed completely the next moment.

The light leaking from the elevator disappeared, plunging the floor back into darkness.

Everyone stood still, looking at each other, none spoke.

At this moment both elevators were paused at the 13th floor, as there were no calls from other floors, so they did not move.

The scene was at a standoff.

After waiting a little while, with shoulders touching, the people formed a circle, looked at each other twice, Wang Shu couldn’t help but extend his hand, his index finger hovering over the elevator’s down button.

He looked back at the others, no one objected.

He pressed the button, and both elevator doors opened simultaneously.

Wu Mayun’s gaunt figure again appeared in the first elevator, still in the same posture, seemingly having not moved at all.

All four immediately feigned death, shoulders touching, standing stiffly, although their expressions inevitably wore awkwardness.

Time seemed to stand still.

This moment was excruciatingly hard for everyone here, truly feeling like every second was an eternity.

Wu Mayun still eerily stood motionless.

Click.

The opened elevator doors finally timed out and began to automatically close.

At this moment Wu Mayun still hadn’t made any movement, a cold air seeped from the elevator she was in, turning the breath of the four people standing outside visibly white.

A moment later, both elevator doors finally closed simultaneously.

This wasn’t a solution, and after waiting for a while, Wang Shu looked back at Zhang Chengjing, who pointed to the second empty elevator door, signaling everyone to move as close to it as possible.

Wang Shu’s face showed realization.

Next, one by one, everyone squeezed by the door of the second elevator, pressing their bodies against the side so that if the first elevator was to open, because of the angle, the person inside still couldn’t see them.

After everyone was sure they were out of the line of sight of the first elevator, Wang Shu gave everyone a look.

Everyone remained still, Wang Shu took a deep breath and then pressed the down button for the elevator.

Both elevator doors opened simultaneously again.

The people standing behind him immediately carefully stepped into the adjacent second elevator door, then slowly shuffled in, making no sound as they squeezed further back into the elevator space, making more room for those outside.

Wang Shu, standing at the rear, would be the last to step back inside.

From his position, indeed, he couldn’t see Wu Mayun’s figure in the first elevator. After retracting his right hand that had pressed the button, Zhang Chengjing lightly pulled on him, and he gradually moved back into the elevator at a slow pace.

During this process, nobody talked, just silently acted.

They couldn’t see Wu Mayun, and as long as Wu Mayun stayed inside the elevator and did not actively come out, she also wouldn’t be able to see them.

After everyone entered the elevator, the doors began to close.

As the two doors gradually came together, everyone’s tense hearts finally started to relax slowly until the elevator doors completely closed.
