Meng Qing says to Yu Yi: “Let’s go to Lin Bai’s room.” He often hangs out with Lin Bai during mission intervals.
Yu Yi walks to Lin Bai’s last known position, places her hand on the wall, and the door silently slides open. She steps out, discovering a long white corridor that seems hundreds of meters long, though this might be an illusion caused by its monotonous color.
On the corridor walls, number plates are placed at intervals. Looking back, she sees a number plate above the door frame reading “30017”.
She turns to Meng Qing: “This is my first time walking out this door.” After arriving in the white room, she had been focused on completing tasks to earn money and never had the leisure to explore beyond this room.
Meng Qing is not surprised: “After arriving here, it took me over a year to first walk out of my room.”
Yu Yi recalls the scene he told her about his first meeting with Lin Bai and softly says: “You were severely wounded at that time.”
Meng Qingdao said: “Even after recovering from my injury, I didn’t immediately go out.”
That year, I didn’t even take on any tasks…” He laughed softly, “At that time, I was very wary of Lin Bai, feeling that he wanted to use me, and I was extremely resistant to him. After recovering from my injury, although I no longer wanted to die, I also had no interest in doing anything else.”
Yu Yi asked curiously: “What changed your mind?”
“That guy Lin Bai kept coming to talk to me, initially trying to persuade me to take on tasks, but I always ignored him, so he stopped trying. He would sit nearby playing games or watching movies, occasionally discussing mission situations with other executors. Later, he simply stayed in my room and wouldn’t leave. That period was so annoying.” Although Meng Qing said he was annoyed, a nostalgic smile hung on his face.
“Let’s go to his room. Even if we have to dig three feet deep, we’ll find this guy.” Meng Qing spoke while walking towards the end of the corridor.
At the end of the corridor was a staircase leading to upper and lower floors. Meng Qing walked past the stairs and opened the elevator.
