The elevator slowly arrived at the third floor, and with a ding, the elevator doors made a sickeningly loud sound.

Once the elevator doors opened, the view outside was immediately clear.

Although it was still pitch black around him, Jiang Qi had excellent night vision, so he was able to see some things around him.

In the darkness, Lu Zhi stepped out of the elevator first, followed by Jiang Qi into the corridor.

The elevator doors slowly closed, and Jiang Qi tried pressing the open button again, but the elevator didn't respond at all.

They arrived in another dimension via elevator, and so far there has been no danger.

Even if Jiang Qi has excellent night vision, darkness can still blur his vision.

Jiang Qi stomped his foot, and the voice-activated light above his head flickered a few times before turning on, as if it had a bad connection.

Under the lights, Jiang Qi could clearly see the layout of his surroundings.

The layout was similar to the apartment building they lived in, but they arrived at the second floor.

Every room in this world had a layer of dust on the outside, as if it had been uninhabited for a long time.

Moreover, the residential building was even more dilapidated than the one they had come from, and Lu Zhi was not the only one who heard the faint sounds.

Jiang Qi also heard it; the sound was similar to a cleaver striking a chopping board.

But upon closer listening, there were subtle differences. Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi carefully investigated the second floor.

Finding no other clues or potential dangers, they proceeded to the third floor, which was their destination.

The closer you get to the third floor, the louder the sound becomes.

As Jiang Qi and Lu Zhiyi stepped onto the third-floor corridor, they felt a tremor beneath their feet.

Moreover, they didn't need to trigger the motion-activated lights; the motion-activated lights on the third floor were always on, and at the same time, a little light shone from another room.

The elevator was quite far away, so Jiang Qi could only see the elevator doors at the end moving left and right.

The elevator doors seemed to be stuck in something, and to get to the elevator, you had to pass through the only lit room.

To avoid any unnecessary danger, Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi sneaked over there.

The closer you are to the room, the clearer the sound becomes.

Jiang Qi heard the heavy breathing of a middle-aged man; the windows of the room were not sealed.

A tall shadow was cast in the window, and the shadow was holding a leather belt.

Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi wouldn't let go of even the slightest clue; the two tall figures crouched quietly under the window.

The initial heavy breathing turned into vicious curses.

"You little brat, how dare you bite me! I'll beat you to death!"

"And you, you filthy bitch, still protecting them? I'll beat you up too."

Intermittent sobs and cries of pain came from inside the door.

Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi exchanged a glance, realizing they had stumbled upon a scene of domestic violence.

Jiang Qi looked up at the room number, and it turned out to be the room where the two sisters lived in another space.

Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi dared not make any rash moves. Just when they thought the domestic violence was about to stop, the man disappeared, but they never expected that he had just gone to exchange it for an axe.

He seemed to find the belt unsatisfying, accompanied by the sound of a glass bottle shattering on the ground.

The woman cried out in despair, and the cries of the woman and child mixed with the curses of the man in the room, creating a depressing atmosphere.

Jiang Qi remained relatively calm. He didn't rush in rashly, but instead knocked on the window from the outside, trying to see if anyone inside could hear him.

The sound of knocking on the window outside did not affect the people inside at all.

Jiang Qi stopped pretending and started banging on the door.

The door remained motionless, and the activity inside showed no sign of stopping.

All of this made the actions of the two people outside the door seem futile; their actions were powerless to change what had already happened.

Suddenly, a woman's scream came from inside the door. The man inside grabbed the woman and tied her to a chair.

The two sisters instantly lost their mother's protection; they could not escape, nor could they use their small bodies to protect themselves or even their mother.
