Chapter 1493: Chapter 1488: A Fifty Percent Chance

As soon as she finished speaking, she grabbed her bag and hurried out of the hotel lobby. After turning a corner, her figure disappeared.

When leaving, Tang Ye heard her mutter something. Although she was a bit far away, he still heard it.

"Who still writes letters these days...?"

Shaking his head, in just a blink of an eye, there were not many people left in the hotel, only a few employees at the front desk, the couch for guests, and a display case nearby, leaving him alone there.

He looked at the envelope in his hand, checked it, and the wax seal was not broken, meaning that Bill had not seen this letter yet. He opened the envelope, took out the letter inside, and upon reading it, found that it contained only a few lines of text.

[I don’t know if this letter will end up in your hands eventually or what the outcome will be. I can only pray to God it does. If you are reading this, do not wonder why this letter has found its way to you, as I have my ways.]

"Hmm?" The beginning of the letter made Tang Ye vocalize his confusion. Initially, he didn’t find the letter suspicious, but after reading that he shouldn’t be curious about how the letter ended up in his hands, his suspicions only grew. Isn’t this a clear case of protesting too much?

If no one was paying attention to that obscure place, and you specifically remind them there’s nothing suspicious there, of course, anyone’s first reaction would suspect there is something fishy!

Suppressing his natural irritation, Tang Ye scrutinized the letter, pondering what was unreasonable about it. Soon he realized, right, this letter was handed to him by the receptionist on behalf of Lu Xiaojie—but how did Lu Xiaojie know he was staying at the Xiangyi Hotel?

At this moment, the figure of Lu Xiaojie seemed shrouded in thick fog in Tang Ye’s mind, completely obscured and filled with various riddles!

[You must be looking for me by now. I can clearly tell you that you won’t find me with your own methods. You should remember everything from last night, right? I hope you do. The recycling station that I took you to yesterday, that’s the place to find me. Follow the same route I brought you in by. Don’t go to the basement, nor upstairs; I’m not sure about the specific operations, but go to the recycling station. You have a fifty percent chance of finding me, and now it’s all down to your luck.]

[Remember, no matter what happens, you must comply with the rules! You must obey! You must act according to the guidelines set down in the rules. Dairya is targeting you, and that’s all I can say!]

"F*ck!"

After reading the entire content of the letter, Tang Ye couldn’t hold back but curse quietly. He felt like Lu Xiaojie was playing him. He had perfectly evaded the correct answer before, clearly, Lu Xiaojie was at the recycling station and he thought she wouldn’t wait in such a complicated place to meet him again.

Now, he realized what the repeated "so annoying" from Lu Xiaojie last night meant. He, too, wanted to shout "so annoying" now. His thoughts were being influenced by something, tending toward the wrong path even though he was aware of this, he could not change it!

The last part of this letter appeared to be a serious reminder from Lu Xiaojie, but following the rules shouldn’t be difficult; it’s the part about [Dairya targeting you]that left Tang Ye puzzled about what tactics they might use.

But, what does that fifty percent chance mean? Surely it’s not really just up to fate, right?

He looked around then gazed back at the letter in his hand. Tang Ye was about to just throw it away, but thinking better of it, he tore the letter into pieces and swallowed them.

"Let it be."

After doing all this, Tang Ye left the hotel and headed back towards the recycling station.

It didn’t take long for Tang Ye to arrive at the recycling station again. At this time, there weren’t many people inside the spacious recycling station, only a dark-coated figure putting two large bags into a car, then getting in the vehicle himself as the car started, leaving no one visible inside the station.

Tang Ye didn’t need to sneak around; he confidently walked into the largest Building in the area, opened the door and entered its lobby. Just like before, no one was inside. He looked around; the setup was exactly the same as last night when he and Lu Xiaojie entered together. Tang Ye quickly made his way to the left hallway, and soon located the staircase, which he followed downward.

"Lu Xiaojie, could she be here?" It wasn’t long before Tang Ye couldn’t help but think to himself. He could feel that there was no hint of human presence in the Building, only sensing a few people in the other buildings. If Lu Xiaojie was here, he should be able to sense her aura, but in reality, he felt nothing but emptiness, raising his doubts.

Walking down the staircase, he couldn’t perceive how much time was passing; the duration felt extremely vague at this point. It seemed like he could have crossed half of Xi River city from how long he was walking, yet it felt it hadn’t been that long at all.

Soon, he reached the end of the endlessly winding staircase, opened the aged door, and saw the corridor. He glanced at the ground, which bore no human shadow graffiti, a stark contrast to the floor covered in shadow graffiti he had seen when he first entered last night.

The lights in the corridor were fully on, making Tang Ye subconsciously feel this brightness was extremely different compared to last night. It felt so alien as if he was seeing a totally different corridor from last night, and he intended to grab a candle to prepare for venturing deeper but just then, he froze.

"Hmm?"

The corridor, which should have candles lining both sides, was now completely devoid of them. He looked up and realized, it wasn’t candles lighting this corridor but the electric lights on the ceiling, no wonder he felt it so strange at first glance.

He looked into the darkness at the deeper end of the corridor; just like last night, there was no light illuminating the far end of the corridor. However, the darkness enveloping it wasn’t solely dark anymore; Tang Ye could clearly see inside the corridor even in the darkness, and despite looking into the dark areas, he saw no human shadow graffiti on a very clean floor, as if someone regularly cleaned it.

"Lu Xiaojie?"

"Where are you?"
