Chapter 15: The Mask

Li Ang indifferently examined the female corpse kneeling in front of him, ignoring the sticky and dazzling smell of corruption, and said indifferently: "At about one o'clock in the afternoon of June 17, Bao Fangtian, a 51-year-old woman, came to Patriarch Tianxia. ”

"Bao Fangtian suffers from a slight mental illness, and she came to the Patriarch Tianxia to go to the sanatorium on the fifth floor of Building 2, called the 'Xinxing Rehabilitation Home', to be treated."

"In order to facilitate the entry and exit of customers, the merchants in Building 2 have specially built a special elevator on the right side of Building 2, which can only lead to the seventh floor and the seventh floor."

"Bao Fangtian, who had been to Patriarch Tianxia several times before, walked into the special elevator, and although she was going to the fifth floor of the recuperation center, she had a mysterious way to press the button on the sixth floor."

When the elevator door opened, she was greeted not by a corridor leading to the rehabilitation center, but by a closed iron sliding door. It turned out that the owner of the sixth floor specially installed this iron door outside the elevator in order to prevent theft. ”

Bao Fangtian, who had no idea about this, subconsciously thought that this was the newly installed iron door of the rehabilitation center, so he stepped forward to see if the door could be opened. And banged on the iron door and tried to call the staff of the rehabilitation center. ”

Just as she stepped forward to check, the elevator door behind her closed automatically, and the panicked Bao Fangtian tried to stop the elevator door from closing, but because of her wide body and fat body, she was slow to react, and before she could turn around, the elevator door closed completely.

"Just like that, she was stuck between the sliding door and the elevator door."

"The gap is extremely narrow, and the short and fat Bao Fangtian is squeezed between the cracks, unable to move, unable to squat, unable to sit, can only stand, clinging to the two steel gates."

She shouted for help, but there was no one on the sixth floor all year round, and there was a thick cement slab upstairs and downstairs, so no one could hear her cry at all.

"Desperate, Bao Fangtian tried to use his arm through the iron sliding door and press the elevator button outside, but due to the narrow gap in the iron door, Bao Fangtian's arm was thick and short, and he couldn't reach the button."

"The only chance for the dedicated elevator to pass through the sixth floor is for someone to take the elevator to the beauty salon on the seventh floor called 'Xiangyuan Beauty'. However, Xiangyuan Beauty's business is in poor condition, and customers are scarce, even if the staff of the beauty salon occasionally passes by, they automatically ignore the knocking sound from outside the old elevator. ”

"What's worse is that in order to prevent homeless people from sneaking in, the owner of the sixth floor has specially blocked the fire escape passage of the six-story building, so that no one will come to this 'non-existent floor'."

"Soon, the family members who noticed that Bao Fangtian was missing hurried to the rehabilitation home of the patriarch Tianxia to inquire, but learned that Bao Fangtian had not been to the rehabilitation home for treatment at all that day."

"There are no surveillance cameras in the whole building, and there is no reason for the sanatorium to deceive. After checking it a little, Bao Fangtian's family subconsciously thought that the old lady had a sudden mental illness that day, and instead of going to the sanatorium, she ran to the street and got lost. ”

"The anxious family members hurriedly printed a missing person notice and went to the streets to look for people, but they didn't know that Bao Fangtian was trapped upstairs in the rehabilitation home."

"For a day or two, Bao Fangtian, who did not eat, drink or perceive the passage of time in the outside world, fell into despair, and finally died of organ failure caused by dehydration on the fifth day."

"It doesn't end there. A few days after Bao Fangtian's death, another person stepped into the elevator. ”

"That's what I saw in the hospital before."

"Chen Laohan came to Patriarch Tianxia to visit his daughter, but he may have misremembered the address and did not go to the correct No. 1 building, but came to No. 2 building."

"What's even more coincidental is that Chen Laohan, who was supposed to go to the seventh floor, accidentally pressed the button on the sixth floor."

"When he was about to see his daughter, Chen Laohan, who was full of expectations, couldn't have imagined that when the elevator door opened, what caught his eyes would be a standing female corpse that had been blackened."

The elevator door has been opened, and the corpse of Bao Fangtian, who has lost support, automatically knelt forward, staring at the old man Chen in the elevator with that hideous and terrifying empty eyes.

Suddenly frightened by this, as an ordinary person, Chen Laohan's three souls and seven spirits were all about to return to the sky, and he shrank in the corner of the elevator with his legs trembling, not daring to move at all.

"The elevator door was about to close, but it was stuck by the body of Bao Fangtian who knelt on the ground, click, click, click, the elevator door closed mechanically again and again, and it couldn't be closed."

"One person and one corpse, facing each other for a long time at the elevator entrance of the six-story building. Finally, Chen Laohan, who couldn't stand it anymore, endured his fear, picked up Bao Fangtian's body, stuffed it back into the gap of the iron sliding door, and returned to the elevator and pressed the down button. ”

"The elevator door finally closed, panic attacks, where did the depressed Chen Laohan still care about visiting his daughter, and fled from the ancestral Tianxia in a panic, without even informing the staff of the ancestral Tianxia that there was still a female corpse trapped there on the sixth floor."

"Chen Laohan, who returned home with the remnants of his sense, lost his mind, couldn't lift his hands, couldn't speak,"

"He was not possessed by a ghost, and the residual psionic reaction on his body was just the unwillingness and fear left in the sixth-floor elevator room before Bao Fangtian's spirit escaped."

"Maybe before the doctor can come up with a solution, the relevant departments of the Republic will first find Chen Laohan to cure his dementia caused by the residual spiritual energy."

"Whew...."

Leon let out a breath of turbidity and walked straight out of the elevator that had been lowered to the first floor, leaving the tragedy behind.

After a long time, the unfortunate child, who was the first to open the elevator door, saw the blackened female corpse lying horizontally in the elevator room, and let out a deafening scream that pierced the tranquility of the ancestor Tianxia.

Li Ang, who came to the street, disappeared in the crowd, and walked forward with the bustling flow of people until he reached the corner of the street on the south side of the Yinshi Dongda Anorectal Hospital.

He didn't lie to Wang Congshan, he really wanted to eat a bowl of hot and sour fat intestine powder from the fat sausage shop next to the anorectal hospital.

The sweet potato powder in the large basin is crystal clear, the rapeseed oil and red pepper are shining together, the scattered mustard powder floats on the red oil, and the fat intestine in the center is piled very high and very high.

While chewing on the fat intestines, Li Ang couldn't help but fall into deep thought as he watched the traffic and pedestrians on the street.

First of all, the tasks issued by the system are not necessarily combat types, and may also be simply decrypted. It is also possible that there will be missions with both decryption and combat elements in the future.

Secondly, having a psionic reaction does not mean that there will be spirits, and some spirits have a chance to dissipate on their own over time.

Finally, if it is an unnatural death event, there is a chance that the quest will be triggered.

Then the number of potential tasks in Yinshi, an international metropolis with a total population of more than 20 million, is still above my imagination.

Leon drank the hot and sour soup and consciously opened the quest reward in his inventory.
