The narrowness of the vent far exceeded Lin Yi's expectations. Just moving around was very difficult.
This couldn't help but remind him of the ruthless killer in "Crazy Stone."
The other party was climbing in the vent, but because his buttocks were too big, he got stuck at a corner and stayed in the vent for two or three days.
Then Mingmei had to come and feed him every now and then... thereby increasing her affection for him...
Although it sounds a bit funny, this possibility is not small!!
This made Lin Yi couldn't help but secretly think: Could it be that the so-called favorable event is this kind of thing? If so, he'd rather not.
However, Lin Yi's worries were unnecessary.
As he crawled slowly, the vent quickly became larger, like the vent in the CS map called cs_assault.
The vent was no longer so narrow that he could only slowly wriggle his body, but he could start climbing with both hands and feet. The height also increased a lot at once, at least squatting and walking was no problem.
The depression and anxiety brought about by the narrow space disappeared all at once.
He didn't know how long he had been crawling, but the overall trend was downwards.
Soon, they came to a turning point, and Mingmei finally gave good news, saying: "There is a faint light ahead... let's go see where this exit leads."
After crawling for nearly twenty minutes, they soon arrived at the exit. Mingmei whispered, "We're lucky, we crawled directly to the parking lot... and the height is not very high, about three meters. However, there are police nearby... let's wait patiently for a while."
Lin Yi hummed in agreement. He said, "I happen to have a small vent here, which allows me to roughly see the situation below clearly."
He saw the police's movements through the small vent.
A middle-aged detective was giving quick instructions to the police officers: "Search the entire parking lot for me. Any place where people can hide must not be missed!"
"Groups one to three go over there, groups four to six go to the exit to search! Move out!"
"Hai yi."
The police officers quickly dispersed and went to different places to start searching according to their respective group assignments.
The middle-aged policeman stopped suddenly after taking two steps. He looked left and right, feeling a sense of being watched from somewhere.
He subconsciously looked up at the vent above, stared at it for a long time, and then raised the flashlight in his hand and shined it upwards, but there was no one there.
"Ah... how could there be anyone in that kind of place, and carrying such a big bag. I must be tired..." The middle-aged detective patted his forehead: "And it's more than three meters high, it's impossible to get up there."
Just then, the latest news popped up on the walkie-talkie: "Report, Captain, we found a little boy in the trash can!"
"What? Found a little boy in the trash can... are you kidding me?" The middle-aged policeman was stunned for a moment, somewhat disbelieving the news.
"No kidding, he should be related to the three children found on the third floor. Please come over here quickly, Captain."
"I understand, maybe this child knows something, I'm going over now." After replying quickly, the middle-aged policeman walked quickly towards the nearest elevator without saying a word, and disappeared quickly.
Inside the vent.
After seeing the policeman leave, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, I acted quickly, otherwise I would have been discovered... Who designed this vent? It's so close to the exit, and it even has a small vent."
"Are you done talking?" Mingmei whispered, "If you're done... then get off me quickly... you're about to crush me."
Yes, that's right.
Just now, when Lin Yi noticed that the detective had stopped, he realized that something was wrong. He immediately continued to climb upwards, climbed onto Mingmei's body, and stacked on top of her in a human pyramid.
"It's not appropriate to go down now... didn't you see the police going back and forth?"
The moment Lin Yi stacked on top of her, he realized that this was definitely the place where the favorable event card was guiding him.
Special scene? Check.
Special action... the current human pyramid posture also checks!
"...Don't...don't you think this posture is awkward? Please...control yourself."
Mingmei said somewhat unnaturally. She clearly felt a vague threat from the skirt.
"This kind of thing can't be controlled just by saying you can control it... But, I'll try my best."

At the corner of the wall in front of the ventilation duct, a group of police officers happened to pass by.
"Strange... did you hear any strange sounds?"
One of the police officers suddenly stopped and said to his companion.
"Sounds? What sounds?"
His companion asked with some doubts.
"I feel like... I heard a woman's cry?"
The police officer looked around in confusion and said in a deep voice, "Listen carefully..."
The two remained silent and listened carefully.
Suddenly, a faint "ah um" sound appeared!
The police officer hurriedly tugged at his companion's clothes and shouted, "Did you hear that? It seems to be ah... um! !"
"Is...is there?" The companion's face was a little unnatural. His eyes couldn't help but look at the dark corners where the lights couldn't reach. His brain immediately made up the image of a woman in white appearing in the next second. He couldn't help but swallow.
"You...you heard wrong, right?"
"I heard wrong? The sound is very obvious, okay! !"
Just after the police officer finished speaking, he heard another "woo woo woo" sound. He hurriedly tugged at his companion's clothes again and shouted, "This time... did you hear it clearly? The sound is louder just now! !"
"Don't...don't pull me. I heard it..."
His companion was covered in sweat, his mind filled with images of female ghosts like Sadako and Kayako. He was a little scared: "Forget it... let's leave here."
"Just... just leave like that? Not going to... investigate?" The officer was clearly responsible and unwilling to abandon his duty.
"Don't you think it's strange? That cry... it's obviously a bit off."
His companion swallowed and said, "The tone is weird, it doesn't sound like a normal person's voice at all... and the sound seems to be coming from underground... muffled."
"You're... you're overthinking it, right? Maybe... that's just how their voice is."
The officer was also getting creeped out, but he still didn't abandon his faith in science.
"Don't you know? The vicious explosion seven years ago... it was right around here..."
"The bomb disposal team that was killed? Were there... any women in it?"
"I don't know... maybe? Even criminal investigators have female officers, it wouldn't be strange for the bomb squad to have one or two... right? Anyway... it's better to leave here."
"Wouldn't it be bad to just leave like this...?"
The officer was about to say something when suddenly a clearer and louder "Wooo..." sound came from somewhere, startling them both.
The two didn't dare to say anything more and hurriedly turned around and ran.
While fleeing, the officer still managed to take out his communicator and call for help from nearby police, trembling as he said, "This is Team Three, this is Team Three... we've encountered a supernatural event! Requesting backup, requesting backup!!"
