At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and the door of Lin Beifan's office slammed shut.
Angkor, who was working inside, didn't care much about it. If the door closed, so be it. And if it opened, that was fine too - could it really be locked from the inside?
At this time, his eyes were always looking at the air conditioner next to him, his eyes flickering: "Let's just... lower the temperature by two more degrees to increase the chill here! This way, the effect of the formation should be more obvious!"
As soon as he said it, he immediately lowered the air conditioner's temperature by two degrees to 20°C.
The air conditioner released strong cold air that made him shiver all over. But he screamed happily, his whole body trembling with excitement: "Cool! That's the feeling! Lin Beifan, will you die this time?"
At this time, the cold air from the air conditioner blew on him again, causing him to shiver and get goosebumps. At the same time, he also felt a hot air tumbling within his body.
This showed that the formation had begun to take effect, and it had already acted upon him.
He laughed happily: "The effect is really obvious! This sourness and refreshing feeling is unimaginable! Hurry up and work, then leave immediately after finishing. I must not stay too long!"
So, he got right to work diligently.
It took less than 5 minutes to clean Lin Beifan's table and cabinets. And he himself was shivering and feeling dizzy.
However, he laughed even more happily, beaming with high spirits: "Haha! Lin Beifan, I can't stay here for more than 5 minutes, let alone you? Come on, I can't wait to see your ugly state!"
Blowing a relaxed and pleasant whistle, he reached for the door handle and twisted it lightly. The door lock made a sound, but the door didn't open.
He didn't care and twisted it the other way. Another noise, but the door still didn't open.
He still didn't care: "Is it locked?"
Pulling the door lock, feeling that there was no problem, he twisted the handle again. Still locked.
He changed direction and twisted again - the door lock still didn't open.
Angkor was a little panicked: "What's going on? Why can't I open it? Could the door lock be broken?"
He twisted a few more times and finally determined that the door lock was indeed broken.
He patted the door quickly and shouted loudly: "Is anyone there? The door lock is broken, can someone open it from the outside?"
Hearing the commotion, all his colleagues gathered around.
"What happened, Xiao Wu?"
"What's wrong, Xiao Wu?"
Angkor said anxiously: "I was just cleaning here, but I couldn't open the door when I tried to leave! I suspect the door lock is broken, can you help?"
"It's not necessarily that the lock is broken, it may just be that the door is locked!" An office clerk said knowledgeably: "Our door locks here are relatively secure. As long as the door is locked with a key from the outside, it cannot be opened from the inside. Maybe when President Lin left earlier, he locked it!"
Angkor said anxiously: "Then go and ask President Lin to open the door!"
Someone whispered: "Go to President Lin? I noticed earlier that President Lin seems to have gone to Liu Mi's office!"
Everyone knew the President and Liu Mi were very close and had an unclear relationship. They were still in the same room, so it may not be the right time to disturb them...
No one wanted to be the one to interrupt them, so they let it go.
"Go to the office, they have keys to all the doors!" someone cried.
Angkor said happily: "Yes! Go to the office!"
After speaking, he sneezed.
Not long after, the office chief came with the keys.
To Angkor's expectation, he inserted a key into the keyhole and jiggled it twice, but the door still could not be opened.
The office director spread out his hands: "Now it is absolutely certain that the door lock is broken!"
Angkor was dumbfounded: "What should we do?"
Office Director: "I can only go ask for a locksmith!"
Angkor looked at him with a hint of hope: "Will they be fast?"
The office director shook his head: "I don't know! It depends on whether they live close by or not, and if they're busy or not! Of course, if they're nearby and not busy, they can probably come over quickly! But I can't be sure about the timing. My guess is it will take an hour at the earliest!"
"One hour!!!" Angkor's face turned green.
"Xiao Wu, it's only been an hour, it will be over soon!"
"It happened for a reason, and everyone understands!"
"Just take a rest and go with the flow!"
Everyone tried to comfort him.
But Angkor was so anxious, how could he not be?
He had set up a very dangerous Five Elements Abandon Fire Formation here, and had even increased its potency!
In less than an hour, it had only taken half an hour to start damaging his own body!
However, he couldn't reveal that.
So he made an excuse.
"But, I need to use the restroom!"
"There's a toilet in Mr. Lin's office. If you're in a hurry, just use that one first and clean it up afterwards!"
That excuse didn't work, so he tried another.
"I'm hungry and want something to eat!"
"Here's a chocolate bar, I'll slide it under the door for you!"
Two minutes later, looking at the pile of accommodations around him, his face turned black.
Their enthusiastic efforts to make him comfortable were killing him!
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'm not in a rush!"
"That's right, what's the hurry!" The office director joked: "Xiao Wu, fortunately you're the one trapped! If Mr. Lin had been trapped inside, the consequences would be unimaginable! You've done us a great service!"
"Yeah, luckily it's you!"
"Even though Mr. Lin is good at talking, Liu Mi isn't, he'd get angry and go on a rampage!"
"You've done a great deed for us, I'll treat you to dinner!"
"An hour will go by quickly, hang in there!"
Everyone laughed happily.
Angkor felt cold dread.
The powerful formation he had carefully arranged was meant to trap the enemy, but instead it trapped himself!
These words of comfort, far from comforting, felt like soft knives being stuck into his chest.
Bloody knives!
But he still had to force a smile!
What the hell was this?
At this moment, he really wanted to roar at the sky: "Where is the law of heaven?"
"No, it's too cold, so turn off the air conditioner first! Otherwise, in a few minutes, my body will have problems!" He grabbed the air conditioner remote and turned it off.
He also opened the windows to let the cold air out of the room quickly.
But finally he realized -
"Why is it still so cold in here?" he muttered.
