The Heartthrob Protagonist Just Wants To Monopolize Me Chapter 97.2

Compared to Ye Chen who was hesitating, Ji Mingxia, who had made the decision, was rather straightforward.

He said to the two bodyguards, “Since you two are not going to go in, can you give me a baton and flashlight?”

The two bodyguards looked at each other, and then looked at Ji Mingxia with some shock.

Out of all the people present, they had to say that Ji Mingxia was the weakest one out. The two bodyguards were professionals, and needless to say, Ye Chen also trained. In addition, he was tall, and looked quite able to fight.

On the contrary, Ji Mingxia, looked young although he already looked like an adult male. The face still looked youthful and tender.

His body would be considered good if placed among ordinary people. But in a fight, it was completely inadequate. The muscle content was not up to standard, and he simply looked like he couldn’t hold out in a fight.

The situation inside the dormitory was strange and even the two bodyguards did not want to enter. Unexpectedly, Ji Mingxia, who seemed to be the weakest, took the initiative to ask to enter.

“Yes you can ……” the tall thin bodyguard hesitantly said, “but you ……”

“I’ll go in with Ye Chen to take a look, you guys guard outside. Check the courtyard gate every half hour. If the lock is open, immediately find the opportunity to call the police.” Ji Mingxia instructed.

The two bodyguards looked at Ji Mingxia and listened to his instructions; the more they listened, the more uncomfortable they felt.

“You really want to go in, huh?” The short and sturdy bodyguard couldn’t help but confirm.

“Mmm.” Ji Mingxia nodded. “The ghost has issued an invitation. It might hide for a while, but it can’t do that until dawn. We might as well take the initiative.”

In fact, if Yu Ning was there, Ji Mingxia would definitely be shrinking behind him.

Unfortunately, out of those present at this moment, he was the only one who had experience in dealing with ghosts.

When a rookie falls into a group of even less experienced rookies, he becomes the most experienced one.

So although Ji Mingxia was inwardly reluctant, he could not retreat.

At this moment, he was trying to imitate Yu Ning’s style of action, trying to turn passivity into initiative, and perhaps find a ray of hope.

The two bodyguards didn’t hand over their batons and flashlights, and Ji Mingxia did not insist. He turned around and went to the door of the dormitory.

Ye Chen just wanted to dissuade him again when the two bodyguards suddenly spoke up, “Forget it …… we’ll also go in.”

Ji Mingxia and Ye Chen looked at them with some surprise.

The short and stout bodyguard muttered, “You guys are right, it’s the same anyway, might as well be four people together and have a better hope of survival ……”

“Mr. Ye, I’m sorry.” The tall and thin bodyguard apologized to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen looked at them and then at Ji Mingxia, and finally shook his head, “It’s okay, let’s find the people first.”

“Ye Chen, you’ve been in the dormitory, right?” Ji Mingxia looked at the pitch black entrance and said.

“Mmm.”

“Then I’ll go first, and you’ll be behind me. Help me illuminate the way and point out the right direction. The two bodyguards will guard the rear.” Ji Mingxia said, “The four of us will hold hands so as to not get separated.”

With that, Ji Mingxia handed the corner of his coat to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen froze for a moment. He looked at Ji Mingxia’s side face, and then looked at his hand and the corner of his coat, and his heart started to beat violently.

“Ye Chen?” Ji Mingxia saw Ye Chen staring at him and called out.

“Um, okay.” Ye Chen instantly came back to his senses. He reached out and grabbed the corner of Ji Mingxia’s coat.

The four quickly held each other, and after making sure that no one would fall out of line, Ji Mingxia took the lead in walking towards the dormitory door.

He took a few steps and the dense darkness swallowed his figure like a fog.

Ye Chen, who was still immersed in his heartbeat, saw this and was startled. He hurriedly dismissed his thoughts to the back of his mind, and followed Ji Mingxia’s pace into the dormitory.

The first floor of the dormitory building was about one hundred and fifty square feet. There were doors on the left and right, equivalent to a floor with two small units.

Like the general standard, the dormitory building had a total of three floors, two doctoral students lived in each unit, so each floor could house at least four people.

Although the school added a small courtyard on the periphery for Ye Tian, the internal structure was not easy to change, so there was no extensive transformation.

Of the three floors and six units , Ye Tian chose the unit on the left side of the third floor, and that was Ji Mingxia and Ye Chen’s destination at the moment.

“So Ye Tian lives in a small area out of the large building? Are the other places all empty?” Ji Mingxia askes.

“Yes.” Ye Chen said.

At that moment, they were walking in the dormitory building in the dark. While walking, Ye Chen described the internal structure of the dormitory to Ji Mingxia.

From the outside, they only felt that the dormitory building was dark, but when they entered, they unexpectedly found that the light inside the dormitory was better than expected. Although it was still dim, they could vaguely see the general outline of their surroundings.

However, while the autumn breeze outside had water vapor from the lake and was a little cool, the temperature on entering the dormitory was even lower.

The coldness outside the courtyard was brought by the wind, while that in the dormitory was like a coldness that permeated the air, silently seeping into the bones so that the people walking couldn’t help but get goose bumps.

During this period, Ye Chen and Ji Mingxia found the electric switch, as well as the light switch, but all failed to work without exception.

They had to use a flashlight, and by relying on Ye Chen’s memory, they walked around the first floor and looked for access to the upper floors.

After about five minutes of walking, the four finally came to an elevator.

Ji Mingxia did not expect that this three-story dormitory building would actually be equipped with an elevator. It was indeed the latest place built for doctoral students to live, and the environment was much better than the boys’ dormitory.

“I used to take the elevator to go upstairs, but now ……” Ye Chen said without hope and casually pressed the up button of the elevator.

The originally dark elevator suddenly lit up when Ye Chen pressed the button.

Ye Chen was stunned, and Ji Mingxia also turned his head abruptly.

In the next instant, a bright light came from within the elevator doorway, followed by the elevator door automatically opening in front of everyone.

The elevator was bright, and the front was installed with a mirror. At this moment, the mirror reflected the light so not only was the elevator bright , but the first floor was also properly illuminated.

The light was reflected in the faces of four people, and their expressions were clearly reflected by the mirror in front of them.

All four people had shocked expressions, but after the shock, Ji Mingxia had a sullen face, Ye Chen had some doubts, and the two bodyguards were happy.

“Did you call for it?”

“It’s so bright, it doesn’t feel so scary anymore.”

“Are we going to the third floor, Mr. Ye? Mr. Ji?”

The two bodyguards stood by the elevator, stopping its doors from closing, and they couldn’t help but ask when they saw that both Ye Chen and Ji Mingxia were standing still.

“This elevator ……” Ye Chen came back to his senses, “Let’s not take the elevator, let’s use the stairs.”

Ye Chen then turned and shone the flashlight around, trying to find the entrance to the stairs.

The two bodyguards were confused when they saw this.

“Why ah, we can use this elevator.”

“Aren’t we rushing upstairs to save people ……”

“Where are the stairs? Have you seen them?” The tall, thin bodyguard asked his colleague.

“No, it’s dark, and maze-like, the flashlight can’t even shine far.” The short, stout bodyguard muttered.

“Mr. Ye, are you sure you don’t want to take the elevator?” The tall and thin bodyguard couldn’t help but ask Ye Chen again.

Ye Chen frowned and looked around for a long time before saying, “There might be a problem with this elevator, the electric switch and light switch are not responding, and the whole building has no light. Don’t you think it’s strange that only the elevator works?”

The bodyguards looked at each other, and said nothing.

They certainly found a problem.

But they were also unable to resist the temptation of the light source.

It was dark all around, and suddenly seeing light made them want to get closer, even if they knew that there was a problem.

When they got close, they found that there was no danger in the light, and even though there were doubts in their hearts, they also didn’t want to leave.

However, since Ye Chen had said so, the two bodyguards naturally wouldn’t refute him: “Then let’s not take the elevator and look for the stairs.”

The bodyguards stepped away from the elevator doors. They turned with the intention of walking to Ye Chen’s side when suddenly, a hand reached out from the elevator.

With a swift movement, it pulled the two bodyguards into the elevator.

The two bodyguards, whose backs were to the elevator, were caught off guard and immediately lost their balance. They fell into the elevator almost at once.

Although they fell with their backs to the ground, they were bodyguards after all. They quickly stood up from the spot with their hands supporting the ground, but unfortunately, it was already too late.

The moment they fell, the elevator doors closed, and by the time they got up, the doors had already closed completely.

During that time, Ji Mingxia reacted the fastest and hurriedly pressed the elevator’s open button.

However, the elevator button, which was very sensitive just a moment ago, was like it had a malfunction, and was not working at all.

With the elevator doors closing, not only was the light source taken away, even the two bodyguards’ figures disappeared from Ji Mingxia and Ye Chen’s view.

“They … just now…!” Ye Chen watched the elevator doors close and turned his head to look at Ji Mingxia, “They fell down together.”

“It’s not a fall.” Ji Mingxia slowly said.

From the time the two bodyguards fell, to the elevator door closing, everything was like pressing the fast forward button and in three seconds, it was all over.

Ji Minxia’s ears had improved a lot since the forest, and his eyesight was also a bit sharper from the time he spent the summer in Banana Leaf Village.

He would usually miss it, but from the moment everything happened earlier, Ji Mingxia saw a pair of hands grab the two bodyguards and pull them towards the elevator.

“It was a woman’s hands.” Ji Mingxia said.

“A woman’s hands?” Ye Chen said in shock, “Did you see the face?”

“There was no face, only hands.” Ji Mingxia said.

As if they had suddenly grown from the elevator, a pair of women’s hands dragged the two bodyguards in.

Ye Chen listened and did not speak for a long time.

Although he was prepared to face supernatural things, watching the two bodyguards disappear just like that made Ye Chen unable to calm down for a long time.

At this time, the elevator, which had already closed, suddenly emitted a crisp “ding”.

Ji Mingxia looked over.

His hand had been pressing on the open button, from the time the two body guards went in and didn’t let go.

The elevator button was out of order at the critical moment, and it now seemed to have returned to normal without him realizing it.

With the “ding” , there was the sound of sliding inside the elevator, followed by the elevator doors slowly opening again.

There was a bright light source again, and a full body mirror reflecting the faces of the people outside the elevator.

The elevator was no different from before, and the only difference was that the two bodyguards who were pulled in just now had disappeared.

Before they knew it, it seemed like Ye Chen and Ji Mingxia were the only people left in the whole dormitory building.
