“Don’t worry. There is an old book depository in the Translation Department, and there is plenty of information on this topic there. I’ve just come back from the book depository. You should go over to search for the answers too,” Caspian gave her some pointers.
“Thank you.” Ruka nodded with an expression full of gratitude.. “You can go over there any time after work too. It’s a public information site, so it’s always open.”
Ruka smiled. “Sure thing.”
Ruka was still busy composing her assignment even when it was time to clock off. After making multiple corrections to her draft, she finally made up her mind and ended up paying a visit to the book depository. She registered on the internal operating system and entered the place. Just as she walked in, Mia’s figure suddenly appeared from behind.
Mia saw Ruka walk inside, and Mia took another look at the iron gates before sneering coldly. Ruka, you’ll just have to spend the night inside!
Inside the room, Ruka managed to find a book that would be quite useful for her topic, so she took a seat in front of the french windows and started perusing the book. As the lights started to get dimmer, she took a look at her wristwatch and noticed that it was now seven o’clock at night.
She got up and walked to the entrance, but she saw that the door-which was. open when she walked in-was now shut. She reached out to twist the doorknob,. but the door appeared to be locked from the outside.
“Is there anyone outside? I need some help please.” Ruka voiced out toward the door, but she didn’t receive any response at all.
She realized that this was an old book depository and that there were no offices along the entire corridor. Everyone would have hit off from work by now, so there wouldn’t be anyone available to help her.
The sky started to darken outside, and she reached out to flick the switch to switch on the lights. However, the lights were non-functional and despite her multiple tries, there was no power at all. She started to panic by then. What’s going on here? The door’s locked and now even the lights are non-functional?
The door was locked because Mia had placed a lock outside the door and the lights were non-functional because the switches to the room were on the other end of the corridor so Mia had conveniently flicked the switch off the main power board.
Therefore, the entire corridor to the book depository turned into a pitch black area.
Ruka hollered loudly for quite some time, but no one turned up. She started to develop fear by then because the entire book depository had descended into complete darkness. She would have to spend the night here if no one turned. up.
At that moment, Ruka took out her cell phone and was about to call for help, but she wondered, Who can I seek help from?
Access to the Translation Department was monitored strictly and only authorized personnel were allowed entry, so there was only one person that popped into Ruka’s mind whom she could seek help from.
Ren was the only person she could think of. All he had to do was make a call to the Translation Department office, and surely he would be able to send someone to rescue her.
