Listening to Yang Shu's words, the rest of the people nodded in agreement, and they scattered in the elevator to search carefully.

Yu Le carefully rummaged through two potted plants, Li Jiayu searched every inch of the surface of the four walls, and Li Jiahang observed the floor back and forth 4 or 5 times.

"Nothing. The three replied in unison.

"What is it?" Anyi's voice sounded in the elevator, and she touched her shoulder, where something seemed to be dripping.

She withdrew her hand, looked at her fingertips, a bright red, and then she leaned in and sniffed.

"It's blood. An Yi's casual words aroused a high degree of vigilance among everyone, and everyone focused their attention on the top of the elevator.

The top of the elevator is quite delicately decorated, and the white light shines on everyone's faces through the glass ceiling, and when they look up, they are slightly dazzling, and a few drops of red blood drip from the top.

The source of the blood is a few gaps around the opening of the elevator roof.

"Who climbed up and took a look?" Chu Qiu asked.

Yang Shu, Yu Le, and Li Jiahang all understood, silently walked to the bottom of the opening, and began to guess boxing in a circle.

"Scissors, rock, paper!"

"Haha, Brother Yu, you lost!" Yu Le looked extremely happy after the victory, and he didn't care about Li Jiayu's mood at all.

Li Jiayu withdrew his right hand in the shape of scissors, his expression was not shocked, he opened his mouth slightly, and said, "You pad me up." ”

Yu Le's face was bitter all of a sudden, but he still obediently walked to the bottom of the opening, squatted down and stepped forward, his hands crossed in front of him, as a human cushion.

Yang Shu was behind Yu Le, holding his shoulders and waist to prevent injury.

Stepping on Yu Le's shoulder, Li Jiayu reached out to the lid of the opening, he reached out and opened the lock, and reached out to push it.

The top cover was successfully opened, and a narrow, dark exit appeared in front of everyone, and Li Jiayu tried to climb out, but was stuck in his shoulder.

"Whew, no, I can't climb up, it's too narrow. Back in the elevator, Li Jiayu let out a sigh of relief and said.

After Yang Shu's exercise in recent months, his body has grown significantly, and his shoulder width is not much different from Li Jiayu's, so except for the girls, only Yu Le is left.

Sensing the five gazes staring at him, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Yu Le's forehead, and he looked at the darkness outside the exit and the blood dripping from the edge, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"I'll go, can't I go. He said aggrievedly.

"Call us if there's something. Li Jiahang said worriedly to Yu Le.

"You have my flashlight, and I'll go up to light it later. Poplar handed out his flashlight that he had just replaced with a battery.

This time, it was replaced by a poplar tree as a meat pad at the bottom, Li Jiayu held the poplar tree, Yu Le stepped on his shoulder, and leaned out of the elevator.

"What's up there?" asked Li Jiahang in the elevator.

"It's too dark for me to see, so I'll take a look at it with a flashlight when I climb up. Yu Le replied, and the sound was transmitted to the interior through the envelope of the elevator, and there was some urn sound.

With that, he reached out and grabbed the edge of the exit with both hands, lifted it hard, and pulled himself up.

However, it was still dark outside.

"Did you just give Yu Le that flashlight electricity?" Chu Qiu frowned and asked out loud.

"Yes. Poplar replied affirmatively.

"Yu Le, Yu Le?" Li Jiahang shouted.

There was no response, no sound, no light, and there was only darkness and silence in the world outside the elevator, as if Yu Le had disappeared into the world.

The atmosphere in the elevator became depressing, and Li Jiahang held Li Jiayu's arm, still shouting Yu Le's name.

Although the three poplars did not speak, they communicated in the Book of Souls:

“

Poplar: How did Yu Le disappear?

Chu Qiu: I felt a trace of spatial magic fluctuations, but it was very vague, I don't know if it was an illusion.

Anyi: I feel it too.

Poplar: Space magic? Wouldn't that have to be at least 4 rings of magic?

Chu Qiu: Not necessarily, the special abilities of some supernatural creatures can achieve spatial magic with a lower energy output.

Chu Qiu: Let's wait and see what happens, and wait until we see the mastermind behind the scenes.

”

As time passed, the atmosphere became more and more depressing, Li Jiahang stopped shouting, squatted in the corner without saying a word, and Li Jiayu was also inexplicably agitated, pacing back and forth in the elevator with his hands behind his back, repeating the checks that had been carried out before.

"Why don't I go up and have a look?" An Yi said to break the silence.

"No, we don't know Yu Le's situation yet, it's too risky for you to go up again. Chu Qiu immediately spoke out to stop An Yi.

“400,400······” Poplar leaned against the elevator door, looked at the door number in his hand, and muttered repeatedly.

Suddenly, Li Jiahang seemed to have collapsed, rushed to the elevator door, and shouted: "Let me out, I'm going to find Yu Le!" while holding the elevator door with his hand.

Li Jiayu reacted, stepped out with an arrow, reached out and took Li Jiahang in his arms, patted her on the back, and comforted her in a low voice.

Poplar looked at the elevator door and made a new discovery.

The closed elevator door was picked up by Li Jiahang, and a gap appeared.

"How can the elevator door be opened so easily?" asked Poplar with some surprise, "I used to have a hard time picking it up." ”

"That's when the elevator is running," An Yi glanced at the poplar, "and it's easy to open after it stops running." ”

"Wait!"

Everyone reacted, Yang Shu walked to the elevator door in a few steps, stretched out his hands and stuck into the crack of the door, and with a slight force of his hands, he opened the elevator door, revealing a cement wall behind the door.

Sure enough, the elevator stopped.

"When did the elevator stop running?" asked Li Jiayu in surprise.

But no one responded to him, all reminiscing about what had happened before.

"It's like······ Is it after Yu Le went up?" An Yi replied, with some hesitation.

"Agreed. Chu Qiu's opinion was the same as Anyi's.

"I think so. "It's poplars.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Shu analyzed: "According to common sense, the house number should be 401, and we got 400, maybe it is a hint that we are '-1' and need to sacrifice one person to continue the game." ”

"Then why do you have to go to Yu Le!" Li Jiahang seemed to lose his temper a little, but as soon as the words came out, he realized that he was messing around, and lowered his head and said softly: "I'm sorry, I ······"

"It's okay" Chu Qiu shook his head nonchalantly, "But the elevator door is still just a wall, where is 400?"

Poplar stepped forward and groped for the concrete wall inch by inch, feeling the undulations in his hands.

Suddenly, he felt a noticeable depression, and the corners of his mouth gradually rose.

"Hmph, carving insect skills. ”

Medium 2 +20

He took the door number from the inner pocket of his coat, embedded it in a rectangular depression in the concrete wall, and pressed it lightly with his hand.

"Click", a mechanical chimering sound came out, and at the same time, the lights in the elevator suddenly disappeared, and the elevator compartment fell into the darkness where you couldn't see your fingers.

This time, Li Jiahang didn't scream, it seems that the stimulation along the way made her nerves a lot bigger.

Chu Qiu turned on the flashlight, but the light flickered a few times before disappearing, and it seemed that it was out of power.

Poplar habitually reached out to take out the flashlight for lighting, but felt empty.

An Yi turned on her flashlight in time, and the elevator room was lit up again.

At this time, the elevator was not quiet, but there was a huge sound of gears turning.

An Yi looked around with a flashlight and found that the wall facing the elevator door was slowly opening, revealing the dark and deep corridor behind it.

"Tick, tick. ”

As another door opened, more and more blood dripped from the top of the elevator, falling on everyone's shoulders and wetting their clothes.

"Let's go. Ann was in front, with a soft voice and firm steps.

It was a long, long corridor, with smooth porcelain tiles at the feet and blank white walls on both sides, clean and tidy, like a newly opened hospital.

Step by step, the walls are yellowed and the floor tiles are cracked, as if decades have passed.

Step by step, the poplar heard the shouts, the runs, the screams, the flames, the cries.

It was the cry of a little boy, mourning for a long time, painful, and the voice continued for a long time, getting smaller and smaller, more and more hoarse.

The boy's crying stopped, and he was heard saying in a hoarse voice, "I want them back." ”

They're back.

Again in the poplar's ears were moans, desperate cries, muscle tearing, bones shattering.

The little boy's cry rang out again.

Crying and crying, the boy's voice grew deeper, stronger, and firmer, and the others became quieter.

Finally, one day, the boy became a man, and he said in an unshakable voice: "Stop!"

All sounds stopped.

The five poplars, the darkness in front of them has dissipated, and the wall on the right side has also become a crystal clear glass, and the warm afternoon sun in CQ City in autumn shines obliquely into the room, warm.

In front of me was an ordinary wooden door with "400" written on it.

Poplar reached out, unscrewed the doorknob, and pushed the door.

Behind the door, there is an ordinary single room, with a table, a bed and a sofa, and Yu Le is lying on the sofa, as if he is sleeping soundly.

In front of the table, there is a chair with his back to the door.

A hand so white that you could even see the blood vessels stretched out of the chair and snapped its fingers.

Li Jiahang and Li Jiayu seemed to be hypnotized, closed their eyes, walked to the sofa, lay down, and fell asleep.

Seeing this scene, An Yi, Chu Qiu, and Yang Shu entered the battle state one after another, operating their energy, and raising their guard.

In the Soul Book discussion group:

“

Chu Qiu: The person in front of him has an extremely high energy level! At least a B+ level, enter the battle preparation, if you can't capture or kill, retreat immediately!

Poplar: Understood!

Anyi: Understood!

”

Poplar looked at the hand in front of him, inexplicably with some familiarity, he tried to remember, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

The chair turned, and on it sat a man, his body shrouded in a heavy hood, and the exposed skin was so white that you could see the veins.

"Thank you. He looked up with a stiff smile on his face, a tattoo on his right cheek, exactly a dice, and the number "7" on the upward side.
