Chapter 01 of the urban romance novel [Elevator Horror].

It was originally quite spacious and large, but at this moment, I felt so small. Because I have nowhere to run.

It was pitch black in the elevator, but in front of me, a huge, terrifying grimace glowing with an eerie glow was slowly approaching me. When it stopped, I took a closer look, and it was clearly an old man's face. His face was bloodless, pale and discreet, and the remaining fangs at the corners of his mouth, as well as the mottled blood on his chapped lips, all indicated that he had just sucked human blood before.

His eyes were no longer recognizable, turning a blurry red, and it felt like he was closed. But I had the illusion that he was staring at me, because I felt a pair of extremely cold eyes looking over my body. I first had a tingling sensation on my scalp, then a chill from my back, and soon spread all over my body, fine cold sweat continued to ooze from my forehead, slowly slid down the bridge of my nose, and finally condensed into a string of sweat droplets at the tip of my nose, falling to the ground drop by drop, making a crisp "tick" sound.

This sudden strange phenomenon made me a little confused for a while. My mind went back to a few minutes ago......

As usual, I pulled a box of cosmetics with a young colleague and entered the old freight elevator that was in disrepair. After closing the door, I pushed down to the fourth floor, and while the elevator was running, we chatted boredly while admiring the impromptu graffiti on the four walls.

On this rusty wall, many delivery people who used to take the elevator scribbled a lot of crooked words with black markers to vent their irritability.

There is a slogan that is dissatisfied with the service of the express company - Yunda Yunda only does not arrive!

There is an expectation that the aging door of the elevator is often stuck and cannot be opened normally - open the door sesame! Please! Sesame!

There are also advertisements made by packaging box manufacturers - our factory provides a variety of cartons for many years, followed by a mobile phone number. But after being changed by "enthusiastic people", it became - our factory has been providing all kinds of sister paper for many years! The word "box" was crossed out with a red marker, and the word "sister" was inserted in front of the "paper", and the mobile phone number at the back did not change. If the carton manufacturer sees their advertising words being changed to this, I don't know if they will vomit blood.

Just as we were both smirking at the assimilation of these boring doodles, a line of blood-red hearts looming in the lower right corner caught my attention. Because I remember that there was no such graffiti yesterday. And when I saw this line, I was inexplicably covered with goosebumps, because it was obviously not drawn with a red marker, but as if it was written with a finger dipped in blood!

I hurriedly pointed to the lower right corner and asked my colleague Xiao Liu to take a look, but he glanced at it and said nothing, and laughed at me for being dizzy. I was suddenly shocked, and suddenly I had a bad premonition, but I couldn't say what it was. At this time, the elevator stopped inexplicably, and when the elevator inner door opened, it was not the fourth floor in front of us, but a half-wall and half-closed elevator exterior door, and it turned out that we were stuck between two floors.

Except for the bumpy red brick walls, rusty elevator exterior doors, and a dim maintenance emergency light, we couldn't see anything outside. Just when a colleague pressed the emergency call button in the elevator, the only light suddenly made a "bang-la-la" sound, flashing and flashing, as if it was about to go out.

At the same time, an eerie cold wind blew in from nowhere, and Xiao Liu and I both shivered, as if something we couldn't see also entered the elevator. Then, Xiao Liu suddenly let out a strange scream and fell down. When I was about to help him, the light went out completely, and at the moment when the light was completely extinguished, the faint heart pattern in the lower right corner flashed a strange red light.

The entire elevator was illuminated by this faint red light even more mysteriously, but Xiao Liu suddenly stood up, turned into a walking corpse, and walked towards the red light in the lower right corner step by step. I grabbed his hand and tried to stop him from passing, but the moment I touched his finger, an extremely cold sensation came from my fingertips, which was by no means the body temperature of a living person, like a corpse that had been dead for a long time. I subconsciously hurriedly let go, only to see Xiao Liu strangely pass through the elevator wall, and then disappear under the elevator.

After that, the red glow dimmed, and the elevator was pitch black and eerily quiet, and I couldn't hear anything except the sound of my own rapid breathing. I took out my phone and tried to call the police, but found that there was no signal. Immediately afterward, I heard a "purring" sound from under the elevator, and the occasional swallowing sound, as if someone was drinking to their heart's content. But in the dark, I feel like the sound of those vampires sucking human blood in foreign horror movies. Suddenly, I felt the cold hairs all over my body stand up involuntarily, and I can't help but start to fall backwards.

At this moment, I just wanted to get as far away from this voice as possible, and as I slowly retreated, the mysterious bloody red heart pattern slowly floated up, and when it floated in front of me, it suddenly cracked. I felt as if my heart had been torn apart, and the pain was unbearable. There was a dizziness in front of him, and then a huge grimace gradually emerged, and it continued to grow and get bigger and bigger.

I was so frightened that I kept going backwards until I hit the elevator wall. When I was so scared against the elevator wall that I didn't dare to come out, the grimace stopped changing. It finally stopped when its nose touched my face. I could even smell the stench of blood in its mouth, and my stomach was tumbling. I resisted not to spit it out, just stared at it stupidly, caught up in the memories of the past......

"Master Su, are you okay?" Just as I stared at the grimace in front of me in horror and fell into memory, a familiar voice rang out.

"Huh? It's you! Just now...... I'm ...... Oh, it's okay, it's okay......" I saw that the grimace in front of me was getting more and more weird, and gradually turned into another very familiar face, which was Xiao Liu, who was trapped in the elevator with me before. I shouted in surprise, but my voice was incoherent and my voice was getting quieter.

"What happened just now? Are you really okay? You've got a lot of sweat on your face. Xiao Liu looked at me worriedly, his eyes were clear and bright, and he asked with concern.

At the moment when I saw that it was Xiao Liu, I almost blurted out, wanting to say that a very terrifying grimace had become him just now. But I stopped talking, after all, all this is too unbelievable. What if it's my delusion, maybe I'm hallucinating because I've been too tired lately. I smiled wryly and rubbed my face hard with my hand, feeling that my face was wet and indeed sweating a lot.

"Oh, before leaving the warehouse just now, I drank a big glass of hot water, but I didn't expect to be locked in this elevator again, maybe it was too stuffy, and I sweated so much at once. By the way, didn't you press the emergency call switch just now, why hasn't the elevator repairer come yet? We've been locked up inside for 10 minutes, right? I took out a tissue from my pocket and said weakly while wiping my sweat, after all, I can't say that I saw a ghost in broad daylight, and I was scared to sweat, which is too shameless. At the end, I quickly digressed the subject, glanced at the emergency call button, and asked.

"yes, it's stuffy. It seems that you are really hot and confused, I obviously pressed the fourth floor just now, and this is already on the fourth floor. Why did I press the emergency call button for no reason? Besides, the elevator is good, why do you repair the elevator? And it's only been more than ten seconds, how do you think it's been ten minutes? Master Su, are you really okay? Don't scare me! Xiao Liu looked at me worriedly again and said. Listening to Xiao Liu's words, I realized that the elevator does look normal, and the number on the floor display in the elevator happens to be the fourth floor.

"You're saying it's only been a dozen seconds since we got into the elevator?" I asked in surprise as I looked at the screen of my phone.

"yes, did you forget? Didn't I answer a phone call before I got into the elevator? When I hung up the phone, I glanced at the time and reminded you that there was exactly one hour left to leave. In other words, it was exactly four o'clock in the afternoon, and now it is just a dozen seconds after four o'clock. Don't believe me, look at my phone. Xiao Liu took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, then put the mobile phone screen in front of my eyes and dangled it for me to see.

I took a closer look at the time on his phone, and sure enough, it was 4:07 seconds. But to my shock, my phone screen showed 4:10 and 17 seconds! In other words, I spent exactly 10 minutes more on my phone than him. It's really weird, Xiao Liu also poked his head and glanced at my phone screen, and then laughed and said, "What kind of broken phone are you, the time is so fast, hurry up and buy a new one after you pay your salary." As far as your mobile phone is concerned, it looks like dirty slag, and it doesn't have as many alarm clock functions as my house, so it should have been thrown away a long time ago! Haha......"

While Xiao Liu was laughing at me, the elevator door opened. I had to retract my chaotic thoughts for a while, and cooperate with him to push the box out of the elevator with great difficulty. As we sweated and unloaded all the boxes, stacked them neatly, and pulled the empty boards back into the elevator again, I fell into deep thought again. Could it be that everything before was really an illusion? But the problem is that it's all too real. In a trance, I seemed to see the elevator stuck in the middle of the floor again, the uneven red brick wall, the rusty elevator outer door, and the flickering maintenance lights The dim light kept flashing in my mind again.

After getting out of the elevator and returning to the warehouse, there were many orders to be distributed. So I cheered up again and continued to get busy, and gradually forgot about the strange experience before. At the end of the day, because a customer temporarily changed the order, the two of us added almost an hour to the shift. When everything was done, on the way home, Xiao Liu suddenly asked me with a mysterious face: "Master Su, I see that you have been very tired, are you too tired recently, or go to my house to attend a party tonight." Today is a very important day for me, and I will be very happy if you can come. ”

"No need, you can go, I'll go back and sleep, maybe I'm really tired." After saying that, I waved my hand at him and walked in the direction of home without looking back. Just as I was walking far away and turning a corner, I inadvertently looked back and saw Xiao Liu still standing there looking at me from a distance. His figure is extremely lonely, like a lonely leaf, which will be ruthlessly blown away by the wind at any moment. At that moment, I suddenly regretted that I had rejected his invitation, but I quickly turned around and continued to walk towards my accommodation. The moment I turned around, I saw Xiao Liu suddenly turn around and walk in the direction of the warehouse.
