Chapter 117: The Endless Staircase
Officer Liu received information from the bureau that another person had been killed at a construction site in the city, and that the deceased was Wang Jianbo, a 23-year-old male, who was an ordinary cement worker at the construction site.
At this time, Officer Liu hurriedly looked at the list, and Wang Jianbo's name was written on it, which means that the number of victims has now increased to eighteen, and Officer Liu has become even more alarmed.
"Quick, we must go back now!"
As he spoke, he was about to open the door, but he couldn't open the door after holding the doorknob for a long time.
Xiao Wang said: "Could it be that someone locked it outside?" ”
"It's indeed locked, but it's not the lock on the security door, it's someone who added another lock outside when we were investigating inside just now."
"What then?"
"There was no way, only to break the door and get out."
Since they didn't have the tools at hand, the four of them had to smash the door with the furniture and other things in the house, and it took more than half an hour to open the door.
Officer Liu suspected that there was something unusual in the building, and he thought that the door might have been locked by the murder suspect, so he wanted to call and send some people from the bureau to block the Changjin Building, but suddenly found that the mobile phone had no signal.
Looking out of the window of the house, you can notice that the sun is shining outside, but the corridor is a little dark and frighteningly dark, and the temperature is even low enough to make four people shiver, and it is the end of summer, although the temperature has dropped compared to before, the maximum temperature during the day can still reach more than 30 degrees Celsius, so all this seems too unusual.
Officer Liu was eager to send the list back to the bureau and protect the five people who were still alive on the list as soon as possible, so he didn't think too much, and they ran downstairs with Li Chenfeng, and after running for about three or four minutes, they suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and looked carefully at the marker at the staircase, and found that they were still on the thirteenth floor.
Li Chenfeng and Officer Liu were suddenly shocked, and the two young people, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang, were so frightened that they sat on the ground.
"It's hard to ...... Is there really a ghost? ”
"Shut up and don't talk nonsense here."
Officer Liu looked flustered and angry at the moment, it was impossible for him to believe that there were ghosts in this world, but the phenomenon he encountered now was really difficult to explain with the science he believed in. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes today, I'm afraid he wouldn't have believed what others had told him.
At this time, Li Chenfeng stood next to him silently with a frown, to tell the truth, Li Chenfeng had determined that there were ghosts in this building a long time ago, and even planned to fight with him, but such a situation was something he did not expect.
Xiao Zhang, who wore glasses, said: "Could it be that we have encountered a supernatural phenomenon, I once heard people say that because of the small-scale confusion of time and space in this world, there will be a small range of imaginary space in some places, once people accidentally enter, it is difficult to come out again, no matter how hard they run, but the same scene keeps appearing in front of them." ”
Officer Liu seemed to be more willing to believe in the so-called imaginary space in science fiction than the ghost hitting the wall, and he sighed and said, "Anyway, we have to walk out of here immediately and go downstairs to see." ”
Li Chenfeng didn't have a way to solve this situation, so he had to follow them, but as soon as they went down the floor, they noticed that there were no other floors repeated, only the thirteenth floor, and only the thirteenth floor would appear if the thirteenth floor went up and down.
At this time, Xiao Wang complained: "It's useless, we can't go out even if we're tired, we're ghosts hitting the wall." ”
Officer Liu reprimanded: "You are a policeman, how can you say such a thing!" ”
Xiao Wang may have been too scared at this time, and he didn't care that Officer Liu was his boss, so he retorted loudly: "It's not that the ghost hits the wall, what are you talking about, could it be that it's really some bullshit imaginary space!" ”
Officer Liu also looked angry, but he didn't know what to say for a while.
In fact, Xiao Wang's reaction is normal, after all, as soon as he entered this building, he felt a strange atmosphere, coupled with the haunted things in this building that the old man said before, so everyone will subconsciously think about ghosts.
The four of them stood in the middle of the stairs, looking very helpless, and at this time Xiao Zhang suggested that since we couldn't get out of the thirteenth floor, we might as well go back to Wu Qian's house just now and find a way out through the window.
Even if the floor is high and there is no way to go down through the window, you may be able to call for help through the window towards the people outside, and if you leave the claustrophobic corridor, maybe the mobile phone signal can be restored.
The other three people all felt very reasonable, thinking that Xiao Zhang was relatively calm at this critical time, but what they didn't know was that this so-called calmness was forced out by fear, and in some cases, it was also a precursor to a person's imminent collapse.
So the four of them hurriedly walked to the staircase, but what they saw in front of them stunned them all, and a wall suddenly appeared at the entrance of the corridor leading to those rooms on the thirteenth floor, blocking the way they had just come from Wu Qian's room.
Xiao Zhang was almost desperate, and the idea of the imaginary space in his mind suddenly disappeared, it was obvious that something was deliberately trapping them, and it could never be an accidental supernatural phenomenon.
The three people except Officer Liu all believed that this was a ghost doing something, and to be precise, Officer Liu's heart was also a little shaken.
At this time, Xiao Zhang ran "downstairs" like crazy, and Li Chenfeng and the others hurriedly chased after him.
"Xiao Zhang, calm down!"
Suddenly, there was a plop in front of him, and Xiao Zhang suddenly tripped over something on the stairs, and his head hit the edges of the stairs, causing his head to break and bleed. Officer Liu hurriedly ran over to help him up, but he was startled, there was an egg-sized hole in Xiao Zhang's head, and the blood was gushing out one by one.
Xiao Zhang opened and closed his mouth in pain, as if he wanted to say something, but because his throat was filled with blood, he couldn't make a sound at all, and after less than a minute, his heartbeat stopped.
Officer Liu was stunned for a moment, gasping for breath in his mouth. Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang both graduated from the police academy half a year ago, and they have been with Officer Liu during the probation period.
This time he brought them out to let them have more contact with actual cases and gain more experience in handling cases, but he never expected such a thing to happen.
At this time, Xiao Wang took a few steps forward, and noticed that it was not a foreign object that tripped Xiao Zhang, but a person who had fallen on the stairs, and he slowly helped the person up, and found that it was actually the old man who had given them the door key before.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you, wake up."
At this moment, Li Chenfeng suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and the moment he approached the old man, the little wooden figure on his chest suddenly reacted violently, and this was also the first time he felt the existence of a ghost after entering this building.
"Xiao Wang is dangerous, let him go quickly."
