Raven nodded vigorously.
The two of them shouted "123" at the same time.
Then Xu Muqing and Ruiwen suddenly jumped up and opened their arms at the same time, clinging to some steel frames protruding from the lift shaft.
The two of them walked around the steel frame and came to the back of a lift door.
This steel only protruded a little, barely enough to allow a person to stand on his feet.
And now Xu Muqing had to use the axe in her hand to pry the lift door open, which was a very difficult thing to do.
Raven said to Xu Muqing, "Why don't I do it, my sense of balance is a bit better than yours, I practiced balance beam when I was young."
Ruiwen's remark amused Xu Muqing, "What do you mean when you were young, it sounds as if you are very old now."
"I'm already in my twenties, and at this age I haven't married yet, of course I'm an old girl."
With that, Raven took the axe from Xu Muqing's hand, and then she used a particularly skillful technique to rub it behind the lift door bit by bit.
At the same time, Xu Muqing looked down towards the bottom of the lift shaft.
At this point, Xu Muqing's brow furrowed slightly and she said to Raven, "Move a little faster, the lift might be going up!"
Just as Xu Muqing had said, the lift suddenly stopped at around the seventh or eighth floor and then rose rapidly, it was going up much faster than it was going down!
Xu Muqing immediately opened her eyes and shouted at Raven, "Quick!"
Ruiwen showed the skills she had practised in her youth at the critical moment, and the fire axe draped itself very precisely into the gap in the lift door, before the two girls struggled to use it and pry the door open.
The moment the lift came up, the two lunged to the flat ground outside the door in time.
However, just as they hit the ground, the ceiling above their heads suddenly started to make a "click" sound.
Xu Muqing scrambled to his feet. Grabbing Raven's hand, the two of them darted towards the walkway ahead.
They had only just run out of the way when the ceiling above their heads plummeted and crashed into each other with a loud bang.
The two of them looked back and couldn't even breathe a sigh of relief. The two walls of the corridor in front of them began to close up again as quickly as they had just done.
Xu Muqing and Raven darted quickly down the aisle as they rushed to where the stairwell was.
But just as Ruiwen was about to reach out and push open the fire door. Xu Muqing went and suddenly shouted, "Don't touch."
Ruiwen hurriedly retracted her hand and asked Xu Muqing, "What's wrong?"
Xu Muqing then turned her head towards the door of another room, where there was an office, and when those people fled, the things in the office were not taken away.
Xu Muqing took a cup from her desk, which still had water in it, and she splashed the water directly onto the door handle of the fire door.
At once, there was a crackling sound of electricity coming from the door handle!
"These people have electrified the doorknob, it would have been too dangerous if you had just reached for it."
She sighed and said, "I usually think I'm sinister enough."
"When I count on people, I'll use any method I can, but never in such a mischievous way."
"What kind of character is the person who planned this trap, anyway?"
