building

Chapter 4

That means I have no idea which floor Xiao Guo is on.

I paused for a moment, then pushed open the glass door and called out loudly, "Uncle Chen, Uncle Chen!"

Chen Mao came down from the second floor again, saw me, and asked in surprise, "Mr. Guo hasn't come down yet?"

I said, "Yes, he's been up there for a long time, why aren't the elevator lights on?"

Chen Mao glanced at the elevator, frowned, and said, "It's broken again. Ugh, it breaks down all the time. It's so annoying!"

I paced back and forth in the lobby until I was almost finished with my second cigarette before I said, "No, Uncle Chen, there's only one..."

Install an elevator?

Chen Mao said, "Yes, there's only one elevator in the entire building!"

I quickly asked, "Where's the back elevator?"

Many buildings, especially luxurious ones like this one, usually have rear elevators, which is why I asked that question.

Chen Mao shook his head: "No, that's probably why they're not selling. Many people have asked about it; there's no follow-up phone number."

"The ladder? Customers don't like it!"

I looked at the elevator again, pressed the button hard, and pressed my ear against the elevator door. I thought I heard a sound.

That sounded like the steel cables of an elevator moving. If I'm not mistaken, the elevator was either going up or had already started moving.

It's declining.

Of course, it's more likely the elevator is going down, since Xiao Guo has been up for so long, it's only natural he should come down now.

I waited patiently, but three minutes passed and Xiao Guo still hadn't come down.

I looked at Chen Mao and saw him staring at me with wide eyes. His face was very pale, and his expression seemed particularly strange.

different.

I called out to him loudly, and he hesitated for a moment. I said, "I'm going upstairs to find Mr. Guo now. If Mr. Guo..."

"Once he's born, remember this: tell him to wait for me and never come looking for me again!"

Chen Mao glared at me: "Sir, it's over twenty floors, are you going to walk up there?"

I ignored him and ran towards the stairwell, quickly climbing the stairs.

An ordinary person, climbing stairs at my pace, would surely be out of breath and weak in the legs by the tenth floor, but I am...

Those who have received rigorous Chinese martial arts training can persevere longer. I climbed up level by level, and with each level I climbed, I walked...

Go outside and see which floor the elevator is on.

In my haste, I didn't bring a flashlight, so I had to use a lighter to look around. All the digital lights on each floor of the elevator were...

Bright.

When I reached the twentieth floor, I started to pant. It had been an extremely long journey, but I only had two more floors left.

I ran up another floor and shouted, "Xiao Guo!"

My echo resounded in the deserted building.

I ran up another floor, and I was already on the twenty-second floor. I shouted again, "Xiao Guo!"

Still no response. I pushed the door hard, but it was locked. I pounded on it, but there was still no answer.

I called out and pounded on the elevator door, because I thought Xiao Guo might be trapped inside, but there was still no response.

At that moment, I felt a chill run through my body. I ran up another floor and shouted loudly again.

There was still no response. I saw Xiao Guo walk into the elevator and keep staring at the entrance of the building.

It's absolutely impossible for Xiao Guo to come out and I wouldn't see him, but Xiao Guo has disappeared somewhere. He's most likely still...

In the elevator, I felt incredibly stupid; I should have called the elevator company. The moment I thought of this, I immediately…

He turned around and ran downstairs again.

Running up twenty-odd floors in a row, the feeling isn't too different from a 10,000-meter race. When I reached approximately...

When I was on the fourth or fifth floor, I could hear Chen Mao's voice coming from below. He was calling out, "Mr. Guo, what are you doing?"

"Did you get it?"

I heard Xiao Guo make another extremely abnormal shout, followed by what sounded like someone had bumped into something.

The sound.

When I heard those sounds, I jumped and ran downstairs.

Upon arriving at the lobby, they saw Chen Mao slumped against the wall near the mailboxes, struggling to get up.

I rushed over and helped him up. At the same time, I saw that the elevator had reached the ground floor and the doors were open.

I quickly asked, "Where is Mr. Guo?"

Chen Mao pointed outside, speechless for a moment. I immediately looked up and saw Xiao Guo pulling open...

He opened the car door and got in. In that instant, I couldn't see his expression, but from his movements, it seemed...

He just killed someone, and hundreds of police officers are chasing him!

I shouted, "Xiao Guo!"

I called out as I ran outside. I was running so fast that I forgot to push open the glass door, and "bang!"

With a loud thud, he slammed his head against the glass door.

That impact made me feel dizzy!

This delay was too late. By the time I pushed open the glass door, Xiao Guo had already started the car, and the engine was making extremely difficult noises.

Hearing a creaking sound, it suddenly turned a corner and plunged straight down!

I chased after him for a few steps, but Xiao Guo's car was already out of sight.

One thing I'm certain of is that Xiao Guo was extremely nervous and panicked.

Because he didn't turn on his headlights at all when he drove straight down the slope!

Actually, this incident didn't need to happen; his panic was already quite evident. It's because he seemed to have completely forgotten that he was...

The one who came with me left all by himself!

I stood there, stunned, not knowing what to do, until Chen Mao came out as well, then I turned around.

He came.

Chen Mao also looked alarmed. Before I could speak, he asked, "What's wrong with Mr. Guo?"

I said, "I was just about to ask you, what happened to him?"

Chen Mao, with a mournful face, said, "I waited downstairs, and when the elevator doors opened and he came out, I wanted to tell him..."

You went up to find him, but before I could even speak, he pushed me away. I called out to him, and he yelled back.

She pushed me, making me fall, and ran out. You came down too.

I said, "He didn't say anything?"

Chen Mao shook his head.

I then asked, "What was his expression like at the time?"

Chen Mao rolled his eyes: "It's terrifying, it's like...it's like..."

He hesitated, not continuing, but I immediately chimed in. "Like that Mr. Luo from last time?"

Hearing what I said, Chen Mao nodded repeatedly, and a chill ran down my spine! Like Luo Ding, that was also...

In other words, when he got on the elevator alone, and the elevator kept going up, how many steps did the elevator go up in time?

1,000 meters without stopping!

I took a quick breath: "Chen Mao, have you ever taken this elevator?"

Chen Mao also looked horrified: "Sir, don't scare me. I go up and down countless times a day."

!

I looked at him, knowing full well that the question was unnecessary, but I asked anyway, "Have you encountered anything strange?"

Chen Mao kept shaking his head.

I walked towards the building's lobby, with Chen Mao following behind. We pushed open the glass door and went to the elevator.

I stepped inside, and Chen Mao wanted to follow, but I waved him out.

I pressed the "22" button, the elevator doors closed, and the elevator began to ascend at a very fast speed.

We reached the tenth floor in no time, and then continued to ascend.

As I passed the age of 20, I became nervous.

However, my nervousness only lasted a few seconds. As soon as the number "22" lit up, the elevator slightly...

It vibrated once, then stopped, and the door opened automatically.

I went outside; it was a passageway, the same one I had just run up through, and it was exactly the same then as it was now.

.

I lingered for a moment, then got back into the elevator, which took me to the top floor and then descended to the lobby.

When the elevator doors opened, Chen Mao was standing in front of them. He stared at me in shock before saying, "First..."

"Giving birth, is it really nothing?"

I didn't answer his question because my mind was filled with doubt. The elevator was perfectly normal; there was nothing wrong with it.

.

However, a man named Luo Ding had encountered strange things in this elevator, and Xiao Guo had obviously also encountered something.

Why?

I walked out with my head down. Just as I reached the glass door, I suddenly remembered something, turned around, and looked at the person still standing there, motionless.

Chen Mao, who was standing there, asked, "Were these little lights on when I went up just now?"
