Chapter Ninety-Three Death is So Near

  At that moment, Liu Fei's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

  It's over. I thought I could finally break the curse of being unlucky whenever I met Xue Lingyun, but in the end, I still failed. Liu Fei leaned against the elevator with a gloomy expression, closing his eyes. He knew that this time, the risk he faced was probably greater than the previous two times. The risks he faced before were from people, which could be controlled, but this time, the risk came from the elevator, an object! Most importantly, the elevator was currently stuck on the 18th floor!

  It can be imagined that now the elevator is at least 50 meters high from the ground. If the elevator loses control and falls, even a god would not be able to escape being crushed to death.

  "Ah~~~~" Xue Lingyun's sharp cry was like a soprano, echoing in the elevator for a long time, refusing to subside. As she shouted towards the end, her cries began to take on a sobbing tone.

  It's pitch black inside the elevator, can't see a thing even if I stretch out my hand.

  What's worse, the elevator was still shaking and seemed like it could fall at any moment.

  After calling out for a while, Xue Lingyun seemed to feel that it was pointless too, and stopped. She cried out: "Liu Fei, Liu Fei, are you there?"

  "Nonsense, I can still fly out of here!" Liu Fei retorted in a bad mood. He had completely given up on Xue Lingyun now, this little beauty was absolutely a super unlucky girl! It's hard not to be unlucky after meeting her. What he hoped for most now was to stay away from the unlucky girl and cherish his life.

  "Liu Fei, it's so dark here, I'm so scared!" Xue Lingyun said with a trembling voice.

  Liu Fei was silent.

  In the darkness, a bright light flashed. It was Liu Fei who took out his mobile phone.

  Xue Lingyun suddenly jumped to Liu Fei's side like a rabbit, and without hesitation, she reached out and grasped Liu Fei's arm. "Liu Fei, do you think we will die?"

  "Shh, don't say such unlucky things, okay? I still want to get out of here alive!" Liu Fei hastily covered Da Mei's mouth. At first, there was no feeling, but later on, a slippery and wet sensation emerged.

  "Ah!" Xue Lingyun shook her head vigorously, finally managing to free her mouth from Liu Fei's palm. She took a deep breath: "Liu Fei, you're trying to suffocate me! You're really wicked."

  Liu Fei's forehead showed two black lines: "How did I become so bad?"

  Xue Lingyun pouted and said, "Hmph, you still say you're not bad?"

  Suddenly, a series of ticking sounds rang out, causing Xue Lingyun's nerves to tense up instantly. She involuntarily stretched out her hands and tightly hugged Liu Fei's waist, pressing her entire body against his. Her voice trembling, she said: "Liu Fei, do you hear that? What is that sound? It's so terrifying."

  It seemed to be in sync with that ticking sound, the elevator shook violently again.

  "Ah!" Xue Lingyun was startled and jumped up again, wrapping her arms around Liu Fei's neck, with her legs wrapped around his waist, her entire chest pressed against his, her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

  "Liu Fei, there won't be ghosts, right?"

  "There are no ghosts in this world, they're all deceiving you." Liu Fei comforted her.

  "What was that ticking sound just now?" Xue Lingyun said, nervously looking around through the dim light emitted from Liu Fei's mobile phone.

  Liu Fei smiled wryly and said: "That's the low battery warning sound of my mobile phone."

  His words had barely fallen when, accompanied by the familiar shutdown chime, the elevator compartment was suddenly plunged into darkness.

  "Ah!" Xue Lingyun screamed again.

  "What's with the yelling? Are you asking me to throw you out?" Liu Fei said angrily.

  Xue Lingyun was really strange, Liu Fei shouted and she actually calmed down, in the darkness, relying on her senses, she leaned her face close to Liu Fei and whispered: "Don't yell at me, I'm scared..."

  Wave!

  Xue Lingyun's words had not finished yet, her lips touched Liu Fei's lips.

  In the darkness, Liu Fei felt a fragrance blowing against his nose, followed by something warm, soft and slippery sticking to his mouth, with a hint of coolness in the fragrance.

  Comfortable! The feeling is like eating a lemon, refreshing with a hint of intoxicating fragrance.

  Liu Fei was certainly not stupid, he naturally knew that he must have bumped into Xue Lingyun's lips. At this time, because of fear, Xue Lingyun tightly hugged Liu Fei's neck...

  In the darkness, Xue Lingyun's face was flushed with red clouds. She never thought that her first kiss would be lost in such an environment.

  In the darkness, there came a chaotic sound of footsteps from outside.

  Liu Fei quickly patted Xue Lingyun's shoulder and said, "Xue Lingyun, you come down first. We must hurry up and call for help. If the elevator falls, we'll both die."

  Xue Lingyun was also very obedient at this moment, jumping down from Liu Fei's body, but tightly hugging Liu Fei's arm to her chest. Liu Fei quickly arrived at the elevator door and knocked hard on the wall of the elevator, shouting loudly: "Is there anyone outside? We are trapped in the elevator!" At this time, the footsteps were getting closer and closer.

  Outside, four blue-collar elevator maintenance workers followed a suit-wearing manager over, and as they approached the elevator door, one of the maintenance workers gently patted the elevator and looked up to say to the person next to him: "Director Qin, the elevator is currently stuck on the 18th floor, one of the cables has broken, and the elevator motor has also malfunctioned. It's extremely dangerous! We must quickly call someone from the elevator company over."

  The manager nodded and said, "I don't know if there's anyone inside. If there is, it's too dangerous. You must think of a way to solve this matter quickly. Later, I'll go to the security monitoring room to check the elevator recording. I hope to God that no one is inside, or our responsibility will be huge."

  Liu Fei, having practiced kung fu, had extremely keen hearing. Although the elevator was of good quality, he could still faintly hear the conversation outside, which made him tense up immediately. One of the cables had snapped, which in itself meant that they were already starting to lose balance - it was too dangerous! No way, they had to get them out quickly. So he immediately shouted loudly and pushed against the elevator door with all his might, hoping to attract the attention of those outside. However, their attention was not on the people inside the elevator but rather on thinking about how to solve the problem at hand. Moreover, several others were still discussing it and hadn't noticed that someone inside the elevator was calling for help.

  A few people discussed for a while and finally settled on an implementation plan before turning around and heading towards the staircase.

  At this time, an elevator maintenance worker turned around and said: "Director Qin, I seem to have heard someone calling for help inside the elevator?"

  Manager Qin asked the person next to him: "Did you hear that?"

  That person shook his head and said: "I didn't hear anything."

  "Alright, I didn't hear anything either. Let's hurry up and follow the plan to get the elevator fixed as soon as possible. I'll go to the monitoring room to confirm if there is anyone inside the elevator." And so, several people gradually walked away.

  Liu Fei heard their footsteps gradually moving away, and his heart felt cool and clear.

  Xue Lingyun gently shook Liu Fei's arm: "Liu Fei, what's wrong?"

  Liu Fei sighed: "Alas, the person who came just now said that one of the elevator cables broke and the motor also had a problem."

  "Then we won't really fall down, will we?" Xue Lingyun's voice trembled again, and if there was light, it would be discovered that her face had turned extremely pale at this moment.

  "Clang!" The elevator shook violently again, swaying back and forth for a long time before regaining its balance. The two people inside the elevator were shaken lightly, Xue Lingyun was so scared that she threw herself into Liu Fei's arms again, sobbing softly.

  At this moment, death is so close to them.
