"Shuyang, stop talking about thesis, it's time to play now." Lin Yiyi's tone was calm.

Shuyang nodded, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with her.

It was already twelve o'clock in the evening when the party ended, and they went back to the hotel together.

The elevator reached the floor of Shuyang's room. When she got out of the elevator, she was stopped by Eric again.

"Shu Yang."

She turned around curiously, "What's wrong, Eric?"

"See you tomorrow." He said with a smile.

Shuyang didn't know why, but nodded anyway.

Lin Yiyi clenched her fists and turned even paler.

After a while, Eric also got off the elevator, and Lin Yiyi was still in the elevator.

Several people behind him started talking again.

"Eric really likes Shuyang, right?"

"Probably, Shuyang is quite good-looking. I heard that the paper was praised by several reviewers."

"So exaggerated?"

…

On the day of the defense, Shuyang and Lin Yiyi arrived at St. Nock Auditorium early in the morning.

For the defense, they entered the conference room in batches, with five people in groups. Drawing lots, she and Lin Yiyi were assigned to a group.

While waiting, she received a strange text message.

"Save me."

Shuyang looked at the text message on her phone strangely. It was from Lin Yiyi. Why would Lin Yiyi send such a strange text message.

She glanced at the time. It was already eight o'clock. The defense time was at nine o'clock. She would enter the venue in half an hour. Where did Lin Yiyi go?

She made a call, but no one answered. A few minutes later, she received another text message, "No. 1, your good friend has been locked up by us. Do you want to rescue her? Then come to the bathroom in the southwest corner.

.”

She looked at it intently for a long time. She didn't recognize the phone number, and no one answered the call.

Who sent the text message? Who locked up Lin Yiyi? Looking at the time on the phone, it was almost time to enter.

Shuyang ran to the bathroom over there in a hurry. The bathroom had been abandoned for a long time and was surrounded by weeds.

But she still had the courage to run in, "Lin Yiyi! Where are you?"

She called many times but no one answered, and the answer was the sound of the door being closed tightly.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly pulled the door open, only to find that it was locked.

"Who? Who are you?" she asked.

But no one answered her, only endless echoes.

"Lin Yiyi? Where are you?"

She took out her phone and found that there was no signal at all.

The time is 8:15, what should she do?

Although there is no disgusting smell in the abandoned bathroom, it is still filled with the musty and rotten smell that has not been cleaned for many years.

Shuyang carefully observed every part of the toilet and found that there was no exit. The only exit was locked.

There was no sound outside, and Shuyang didn't know if the person had left.

"Is anyone there?"

Time passes minute by minute, half an hour has passed, it is now 8:45, and the defense will start in fifteen minutes.

The order in which she was drawn was the first one. If she could not arrive on time, she would be deemed to have given up her defense.

"Is there anyone? Who will save me?" she asked feebly.

How could there be anyone here?

At this moment, Shuyang was startled by the sudden clear sound of glass breaking. There was a window at a very high position at the sink.

At this moment, the glass has been broken by Xie Lingsu.

The window was just big enough to accommodate her, and Eric's voice came from the window: "Climb out!"

Shuyang was also very anxious. After searching for a long time, she finally found a half-used ladder. She put the ladder on the wall and slowly started to climb up.

"It's you!"

The window was located very high, and when she could see the window, she saw Eric waiting anxiously.

It must be that when Shuyang was looking for a ladder just now, Eric had already pulled many haystacks and piled them by the window.

"Quick! Jump down!"

Not allowing her to hesitate, Shuyang jumped out with a heartbeat.

Pain accompanied her body, and she felt that there were many small scratches on her elbow, but she had no time to check.

She struggled to stand up, and an equally warm hand grabbed Eric's hand and led her to run wildly.

Because he was running too fast, the strong wind sent chills down Shuyang's face, "Thank you."

Her voice was dispersed by the wind, but Eric still heard it.

Defense scene.

Lin Yiyi looked at the time, it was already eight fifty-five.

Shuyang hasn't come yet at this time, so he probably won't be able to come.

She took a deep breath nervously and kept staring in the direction of the door, feeling anxious and scared.

During the defense review, Lin Jin saw that Shuyang hadn't arrived yet and immediately called her because she was not in the service area.

She looked at Lin Yiyi. She had the impression that Shuyang had always been with her, so maybe she knew.

She walked over and asked, "This contestant, why isn't Shuyang here?"

"Shuyang, I, I don't know." She immediately turned her head, not wanting to talk to Lin Jin anymore.

Lin Jin was also very surprised. Two minutes passed and she still didn't come.

If you do not arrive at nine o'clock, you will be deemed to have given up the competition.

At this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Shuyang ran in panting, "Sorry, I'm late."

Lin Yiyi's eyes widened and she lowered her head in panic. Why, why did she come out?

As soon as nine o'clock arrived, Shuyang stepped forward and started her defense without even having time to take a breath. She took a deep breath and turned on the projection of her thesis.

"Hello reviewers, this paper I wrote is for reducing crime rates and measuring crime rates..."

She was talking eloquently, and her mood was not affected at all by what just happened.

An hour later, she walked off the stage to the applause of the audience, and the judges scored with satisfaction.

Lin Yiyi lowered her eyes. Such papers and procedures are really amazing.

Shuyang didn't notice anything strange about Lin Yiyi, so he walked to her and said, "Yiyi, are you okay? I received a strange text message. Are you locked up?"

"I, I didn't." She said eagerly.

Shuyang opened her phone and showed her the message she received, "Look, this is it. Are you okay?"

"It's okay." She said two words lightly and stopped talking.

"Maybe someone wants to deal with me." Shuyang didn't think much, just thinking that she was nervous about the answer.

But after the defense, Lin Yiyi walked out directly without waiting for Shuyang.

"What's wrong with you?" Shuyang asked.

"nothing."

Shuyang said to herself: "I was locked up just now. Fortunately, Eric came to rescue me, otherwise I would definitely not be able to answer the question."

"Eric saved you?" Lin Yiyi looked at Shuyang in shock. Why would Eric save her?

Shuyang nodded, "Yes, he saved me, thanks to..."

Lin Yiyi's long-suffering anger finally broke out, "Who asked you to come out!"
