Chapter 87: Overcoming the Roof and Wall (Ch 87)

The old man paused.

Then he sighed softly:

“Don’t worry about my story, young man.”

“Let’s hurry up and finish this job!”

“With money…all the pain will go away.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ke remained silent.

The two of them walked into the elevator.

“So, boy, have you discovered where their little treasury is hidden?”

The old man changed his mood and asked Zhou Ke.

Zhou Ke gave his own analysis:

“According to what Ye Ding, the boss of the Ye family, said himself:”

“Their family’s [treasure] is in this financial building, but not on any [floor].”

“At the same time, based on the rumors in society that gems do not exist at all, I have already vaguely formed a guess.”

“But it still needs to be verified.”

“And the way to verify is…”

“Take the elevator.”

Then, Zhou Ke looked at the old man:

“Uncle, when we came up from the 60th floor, did you feel anything was wrong?”

“Something’s wrong?” The old man scratched his head: “I don’t think there’s anything strange.”

Zhou Ke just raised his hand to look at his watch, then pressed the button for the 60th floor again.

The elevator slowly descended.

The numbers on the display screen kept jumping.

65……

64……

63……

62……

61……

60.

As the numbers jumped, Zhou Ke’s eyes kept moving from his watch to the numbers on the display.

drop–

Elevator arrives.

“Young man, why do you want to come back again?”

The old man looked at the familiar 60th floor and asked puzzledly.

Zhou Ke slowly shifted his gaze away from his watch, and then said:

“Sure enough, my feeling was correct.”

“Uncle, how many floors are there from the 60th floor to the 65th floor?”

The old man counted on his fingers: “1…2…”

“…6. There are 6 floors in total. What’s going on?”

Zhou Ke stared at the display screen inside the elevator and said softly:

“But I always feel like we’re sitting on the 7th floor.”

Zhou Ke’s intuition has always been very sharp. With the addition of a large amount of magic elements in his body, his various senses have also been enhanced, and details like this cannot escape his perception.

As early as when he took the elevator up for the first time, he keenly realized:

When the elevator rises from the 64th floor to the 65th floor, the floor display numbers change more slowly, and the elevator takes longer to move!

Therefore, Zhou Ke came up with a bold guess:

There is a mezzanine between these two floors!

Between the 64th and 65th floors, there is a hidden 64.5th floor!

“The gem is in this building, but not on any [floor].”

“Because, it’s in [a certain half floor].”

Zhou Ke spoke in a calm voice, but he revealed the shocking truth.

The old man opened his mouth and widened his eyes in surprise:

“Young man, isn’t this too fantastic?”

“It’s possible that the speed of the elevator is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, right?”

“Are you sure that this building has a hidden floor that is not marked in the elevator?”

Zhou Ke shook his head: “My judgment is based on more than just the speed of the elevator.”

“First……”

“Master, you said before that the stairs are not used except in special circumstances.”

“But this is totally unreasonable, right? In a financial building with such a large flow of people, why should the stairs be sealed off and only the elevators be used?”

“second……”

“Why are there only 65 floors and do I need a fingerprint to unlock them?”

“I’m afraid there is a more important reason besides the secret juicer factory on the 65th floor…”

“That is, the floor below the 65th floor is not the 64th floor at all!”

“The so-called fingerprint authentication is a safety measure taken by the Ye family to prevent someone from damaging the ground on the 65th floor and reaching this hidden floor!”

The old man was stunned and touched his nose:

“Don’t worry, boy, let me sort it out.”

Then he started counting on his fingers and silently repeated Zhou Ke’s analysis.

After a long time, he looked up, but his eyes were not full of admiration, and there was still some doubt in his eyes.

“Young man… I understand everything you just said. I have to say, it does make some sense…”

“But, this is just speculation, right?”

“Maybe there is no such hidden floor?”

“Or, even if there is such a hidden floor, it is just an abandoned floor that has not been renovated yet?”

Zhou Ke had anticipated these questions, and he said with a smile:

“Sir, your question is very reasonable.”

“Because, like I said, I think there is a 64.5 floor, just a guess.”

“And the best way to verify a conjecture is—”

“practice!”

“If you want to know if there is such a hidden layer, just go and take a look!”

The old man opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to ask something.

Zhou Ke signaled him not to be hesitant and just ask directly.

The old man scratched his head and asked again:

“Let’s take a step back and say that there is a 64.5-story building, and the gems, vaults, and money you mentioned are also inside, then how are we going to get there?”

“You can’t go to the 64th floor and make a hole in the ceiling, right?”

“Or go to the 65th floor and make a big hole in the ground?”

“Each of these makes quite a noise!”

“What if we attract people here?”

Zhou Ke smiled slightly when he heard this.

Zhou Ke had thought about this problem a long time ago.

For civilians, there is absolutely no point in making a completely enclosed hidden floor.

But for aristocrats with supernatural powers, it makes perfect sense.

What’s more, the Ye family is a cube family, and the cube-based supernatural power, Cube 5, is [Teleport].

Presumably, the Ye family usually enters this 64.5th floor through Block 5.

But Zhou Ke’s magic card is not the 5 of Diamonds at this time, and it cannot move through the wall to this hidden space.

But Zhou Ke had other ideas.

A very violent, but effective method.

He opened his lips slightly and said slowly:

“Master, you need to be more open-minded…”

“The way to enter a hidden floor does require a breakthrough from the outside.”

“But not necessarily from above, or below.”

The old man repeated Zhou Ke’s words: “It’s not above, or below…”

Zhou Ke didn’t explain much, he just walked out of the elevator, then took the old man and quietly entered a small empty room.

This is a small entertainment room with a large floor-to-ceiling window.

Zhou Ke leaned forward through the window and looked upwards.

Every floor of this building has floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

Then, Zhou Ke took out another small piece of rope from his arms and began to wrap it around his waist.

What was different from the rope that tied Ye Ding up was that this rope had a small black hook at one end.

The old man was confused at first, but after seeing Zhou Ke’s actions, he immediately understood.

“Young man, are you going to…”

Zhou Ke retracted his body and smiled slightly:

“Climbing walls and flying over rooftops is a basic quality for a thief.”

“Not above, not below…”

“Rather, the side.”

Then, ignoring the old man’s surprised look, he started up suddenly, rushed out of the window, and then jumped up!

Snap!!!!

The broken glass shards exploded behind Zhou Ke, like thousands of stars.

The cold wind poured into his nasal cavity like an ice cone, making all the nerves in Zhou Ke’s body extremely excited!

At this moment, time seemed to be slowed down infinitely.

The crashing sound of shattering glass seemed to be muted as well.

At an altitude of more than 200 meters, a handsome young man was flying in the air, his coat fluttering in the cold wind.

Behind me is the starry sky and the bright moonlight.

Below me, neon lights are flashing and traffic is bustling.

The boy used inertia to throw the rope hook toward the window of the building that was reflecting white light.

Amid the howling of the cold wind in the sky, he heard his own breathing with a smile:

“The magic begins now.”
