There is a lucky cat in the dream

Chapter 12 Encountering the Examiner
"Now that the problem has been discovered, don't be reckless." Ye Chixu said in a low voice, "It's a little bit of restraint. It's okay if you attract other people who are also testers, but if it's an examiner..."

"I've already been caught once." Lin Xiaolang said, "It's in the small town below, there's a lot of fog, I don't know why he came from behind."

"Me too, I was arrested as soon as I looked up."

There is also the kitten, which was also lost at that time. I don't know what happened to it.

Ye Chixu was faintly worried.

Even though it is very familiar with the dream world, it is just a two-month-old kitten!
The two crept down to the second floor. Perhaps because of the numb rain, no one came to check the situation during the process of going downstairs.

"We are quite lucky." Lin Xiaolang sighed.

"crack, clap, clap"

The sound of boots treading water came closer and closer. Although it was still relatively small, the sound was particularly harsh to the ears of the two people who were highly nervous.

Lin Xiaolang was even more anxious when she couldn't see clearly. She took Ye Chixu's hand and shook it up and down anxiously, "What should we do? How do we hide? Go upstairs again? I think I will drag you down."

"You don't need to go upstairs." Ye Chixu supported her elbow and led her to go down quickly, turned, bowed and hid in the narrow shadow under the stairs and squatted down.

When entering this building, there are two small steps up to the residential floor, and then turn up to the second floor, so the outside of the space under the stairs is blocked by a wall, and the area below is almost completely dark, as long as people don’t bow their heads If you look carefully, you can't find them.

"crack, clap, clap"

The sound of treading water became louder and louder, and he was about to reach the stairs.

The two under the shadows tried to shrink themselves into a ball, stuffing themselves into the narrowest and most hidden place under the stairs.

The person who came sniffed, as if smelling something.

The two people under the stairs could clearly hear his deep breathing, and they could only hug the briquette ball in their hands, shrinking it tighter and tighter.

Ye Chixu was afraid that he could smell it.

Footsteps approached the stairs.

"Tap, tap, tap"

The visitor stood outside the stairs and tapped the soles of his shoes on the spot, as if hesitating whether to go upstairs.

The two held their breath, their hearts beating wildly.

Not afraid of the rain, it is almost certain that it is the examiner who came to arrest people.

After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, and stepped into the dark stairwell.

So the two had to pray frantically that he wouldn't bend down when passing by.

"Tap, tap, tap"

Ye Chixu stared intently at the pair of leather boots leaving her eyes.

He's gone!

The hard soles of the shoes made a dull sound as they stepped on the stairs above their heads.

Ye Chixu clenched Lin Xiaolang's hand next to him, planning to go out after he reached the 3.4th floor and hide in another building.

The floor he went up to was too low. If he saw the two of them fleeing from the corner of the hollowed-out stairs, he would not have enough time to go downstairs for them to escape.

The floor they went up to was too high. The examiner's night vision must have been maxed out. It was just their luck that they didn't bend down to check just now. But there must be their wet footprints on the 6.7.8 floors above. .

Thinking of the footprints, Ye Chixu turned his eyes to the aisle in front of him, and sure enough, there were the panicked footprints of the two of them when they came in.

Maybe that's what drove him upstairs!
Ye Chixu breathed softly, listening to the examiner's footsteps walking slowly upstairs, and counting his steps.

There are 7 steps in each section of the stairs in this residential building, and there are [-] steps in total. When she went upstairs, she could count them clearly.

While counting, she supported her body with her hands and moved slowly and carefully. With the briquettes in her arms, she was safe as long as she didn't stand up.

Suddenly, she touched a pile of neatly stacked rough sections, and then raised her hand to touch the top of it...

smooth, dry...

It's an unpacked box of paper!
Ye Chixu suddenly wanted to beat himself up, thinking angrily how he had forgotten that people in the residential building used to pile up paper in the stairwell on the first floor!
It took so much effort to go upstairs to get the briquettes!
It's just that it's not easy to take now.

Before the examiner, these pieces of paper were neatly bundled together again, whether they were dragged out to take away or unpacked, there was a lot of noise.

Ye Chi gritted his teeth resentfully as he counted the floors the examiner went up to.

She hugged the briquettes with one hand, and pulled Lin Xiaolang to stand up slowly with the other, and then walked out of the apartment building gently.

Lin Xiaolang didn't dare to open the tarp while holding the tarp, the rattling sound would definitely attract the examiner's attention.

The two were drenched in the rain, leaning against the wall, and carefully moved outside.As long as they don't get seen before turning the corner, they'll be better off.

The footsteps of the examiner who went up to the 5th floor also stopped, but the two people who had already gone out did not notice it.

He squinted at the rain outside, sighed softly, and counted silently in his heart: 30, 29, 28...

Ye Chixu pulled Lin Xiaolang and successfully turned the corner. The rain had already made them both feel a little uncomfortable. Lin Xiaolang carefully opened the tarpaulin and covered the two of them inside.

"Where are we going now?" She still didn't dare to speak too loudly, the examiner passing by just now made her feel lingering fear.

"Let's go to the back of this building first. The examiner will leave if he can't find anyone up there." Ye Chixu wrapped the briquettes in his clothes and tried not to let it get wet. "When we were hiding under the stairs just now, I touched It's cardboard."

"We'll discuss it later." Lin Xiaolang said, holding on to the raincloth, "I still can't see clearly, please look at the road."

Ye Chixu had no choice but to pull her clothes, lead her to the back of the residential building, and walked forward along the red brick wall: "Let's follow the wall and find another residential building to hide in."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Lin Xiaolang agreed.

The two walked along the wall for a while before they found a corner, and chose the residential building next to the corner as their new "base".

There were no footprints at the entrance, and it seemed that no one had been there.

"What did you just say? Cardboard?" Lin Xiaolang asked while rolling up the tarpaulin—after carefully unrolling the folded tarpaulin just now, she thought it would be better to roll it up, because it is easy to shake and the movement is still small.

"Yes." Ye Chixu nodded, "It's under the stairs, I just touched it just now, but I can't take it away."

"if……"

Lin Xiaolang originally wanted to say that it would have been nice if she had touched it earlier, but she felt that almost all the props of the two of them had been obtained through the efforts of Ye Chixu, and she was simply a burden in the dark, so she changed her words and said, "It's okay." , we have a piece of fuel that’s already good.”

Ye Chixu knew that she was comforting herself, but she didn't know how to answer the conversation even though she hugged the briquette tightly.

"According to this calculation, the item drop rate of this dream game is really touching."

The rain outside has subsided, and the moon is likely to come back again. The faint light sprinkled Lin Xiaolang all over her body. She sat on the stairs with her legs bent: "There are already three kinds of combustible objects in that building alone."
