"Cut, I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, do you want to come in?" Angela spoke first, with obvious disdain in her tone and expression.

Li Xiaoai's feet didn't move, she glanced at Angela in front of me and then looked slightly sideways, her eyes were full of grievances, "I'm sorry, you guys go first." ”

I stared into her eyes and hesitated with my hand holding the door button, as if telling myself that I should step out of this elevator door and accompany the person in front of me, when I was about to say something.

"Close the door!" Angela snapped.

Seeing that I was still hesitating, Angela reached out and pulled away my hand that held the door open button, and pressed the door close button twice. I didn't have time to hold on, or even step out of the elevator, when the metal door was like a closed scissor that cut off our gaze at each other.

The elevator started to go down, and I suddenly felt a little dizzy in my head, like I had lost something upstairs.

"What? You two know each other? The elevator reached the fourteenth floor, and Angela's tone was arrogant, "But that's not right?" How can you two know each other, the rich son who wanted to know Li Xiaoai back then was about to fill the banquet hall. ”

My mind was still a little confused, and the elevator went down to the thirteenth floor.

"But I think it's weird, she doesn't look at you like a stranger, and you didn't act like you helped a stranger when you helped her out of the hall just now?" Angela was still muttering, and the elevator reached the twelfth floor.

It was almost suffocating to stay in a small space with her, and there was a voice in my head urging me to rush off the elevator and run straight back to the fifteenth floor. The elevator continues down to the eleventh floor.

"Huh? Why don't you speak? On the tenth floor, Angela turned around and looked at me with questioning eyes.

I was silent, depressed, and suddenly the elevator went out of power like my thoughts. The ninth floor was not displayed on the display screen on that floor, and the originally bright elevator suddenly became pitch black.

The power is out.

The elevator began to brake and slow down, and in the dark, Angela subconsciously grabbed my arm, and her tone seemed a little panicked, "What's wrong?" Blackout? ”

"Well, don't be afraid, it should be back soon." Will such a high-end hotel suddenly lose power? It's hard in my imagination, and even if it's possible, the backup power supply will be restored quickly, so just don't panic and just wait.

Angela grabbed my wrist tightly, her palms were already sweating slightly, with a wheezing voice, "What floor did we go to just now?" ”

"It should be between the ninth and tenth floors." I recall in my mind the last scene before the power went out.

Angela didn't make another sound, just snorted slightly, and time passed by second, and there was silence in the darkness.

One point... Two points... There was no response after three minutes, and it seems that the backup equipment was not able to restore power in a short time. I reopened the headset, but the metal confined space in the elevator prevented the headset from being able to get in touch with Dong Jian and Qiu Shao in the lobby on the first floor.

"What should I do?" Angela's tone was anxious, "Can you get in touch with the outside world in the event of a power outage?" ”

It was pitch black, and I reached out and tried to press and hold the button in the elevator to make an emergency call to the outside world, but nothing happened. Time was still passing, and there was still no sign of power being restored, and the aisles outside the ninth and tenth floors were even more silent.

"How about trying to use a mobile phone?" I take out my phone but it shows no signal coverage at all, and the transceiver of the communication device is also powered off at the same time when the power is off?

I was wondering, and I felt more and more that this sudden power outage was not as pure a coincidence as it seemed. In the silent darkness, there was the creak of a silk motor cutting, and the car body of the elevator trembled slightly with the piercing squeak.

"What sound?" Angela also noticed that something was wrong, and her grip on me tightened.

Holding on to the inner wall of the elevator car, you can feel that the slight tremor is not only coming from your feet, but also the sound comes from the entire box with the tremor, and the situation seems to be more and more wrong.

Angela felt that the situation was not as simple as she imagined, and her emotions gradually spiraled out of control, she grabbed me with one hand, and the other hand began to bang on the elevator door non-stop, "Anyone?" Is there anyone out there? We're stuck in the elevator! ”

There was no response, only the echo of the metal wall and the harsh creaking sound, and the dark and narrow cabinet still faintly vibrate.

"What should I do?" As she asked, I was thinking, what should I do? What happened? Blackout? But it doesn't look like the elevator should have problems at the same time.

But the elevator that was inexplicably out of service just now and the unattended hotel cleaning cart just appeared when it happened? And then the power outage that happened at the same time and almost got on the only one to get on and off the elevator?

didn't have time to think and question, the slightly trembling feet suddenly had a feeling of weightlessness and suspension in the air, and the heart was lifted in an instant.

"Ah!!h Angela's screams were accompanied by a momentary feeling of free fall that filled the entire elevator box, and I subconsciously realized that the squeak was the sound of the weighing cable being cut above.

Half a second later, the box braked, and a severed steel cable whipped down from the top of the elevator box like a whip, and the broken roof glass and lampshade fell. I used my body to protect Angela underneath, the fragments didn't cause any major trauma, and the box was still intact. There was only a huge hole in the top, and the creak was clear from above the several steel cables that connected it, as sharp as the laughter of the Grim Reaper.

"Zhuang Yan, what should I do?" Angela's emotions were even more out of control, "I can't have an accident here, you have to think of a way." ”

Looking up through the hole in the top of the head, the sparks have not stopped, and the elevator box has not completely lost its support. But my gut tells me it's only a matter of time.

"Who? Who's on it? I shouted into the deep hole, and there seemed to be a knife-sharp eye looking down at the faint spark, and there was no pity in it.

There was another momentary feeling of weightlessness, followed by the violent shaking of the elevator box, and another metal steel cable was whipped down, and there was a terrifying spark when it touched the metal frame. After the huge crushing sound, the top cover was not half covered except for the metal support frame and hanger, and a long section of the steel cable was thrown directly into the box, and it would never be intact if it was hit by a huge impact. Looking up, you can clearly see that there are four complete load-bearing steel cables left overhead, and at your feet are the height of a nine-story building, not counting the negative 1st and negative 2nd story garages.

"Ahh Angela was completely frightened and at a loss, and was already crying, "Let's find a way to get out, quickly find a way to get out." ”

She let go of her grip on me and began to use her hands to break open the inner door of the elevator box. I'm still staring at the abyss-like elevator shaft, why? Why do you have to kill me completely? Why create so many illusions that I died protecting Angela at the scene of an accident, just an accident?

Together, these coincidences are almost as perfect as completing a piece of art, more like some kind of piece of chance put together. Li Xiaoai and I should have been in the elevator at the same time at this time, but Angela's refusal to allow her to get on the elevator was unexpected. The power went out, the hotel was preparing for a grand press conference, most people should have gathered on the first floor, and even the guest room area was silent, and who would pay attention to the most inconspicuous elevator in such a short time?

The third...

Fourth...

It is too late to open the door of the box to escape, if it is only a fault, the multiple protection of the elevator will not cause a major safety accident, so that the potential safety hazards are not too big. But if you deliberately create an accident from the perspective of destruction, how can you survive?

Angela was completely devastated, and she lay on my shoulder and wept silently. When the fourth tightrope was whipped down, I had to block her with my body in order to protect Angela, who was frantically breaking the door, so that I suffered a heavy blow to the back, and a huge pain was spreading all over my body.

"What to do? Woo woo woo ~ I don't want to die, there are still a lot of songs waiting for me to sing, woo woo woo~"

Perhaps all this had nothing to do with Angela, who was so popular and adored, even if she occasionally seemed rude, she should not be killed because of this, let alone suffer the consequences of such an early death.

Suddenly, there was a knocking sound outside the iron door of the floor, which was slightly higher than our box, and a familiar voice was slightly faint through the staggered metal doors of the two floors, "Zhuang Yan, Zhuang Yan?" Are you still in the elevator? What's going on inside? ”

Like a well rope that appeared for no reason in a well that fell like an abyss, Angela jumped up frantically and kept knocking on the inner wall of the elevator box, her voice was crying and hoarse, "Li Xiaoai? Are you out there? Please help me and get us out. ”

"What's going on inside?" Li Xiaoai, who was frightened by An Jina's tone, also began to be inexplicably nervous.

"Little love? Listen to me, hurry up to the sixteenth floor and call Yu Yang and Fu Dongdong to go up to the elevator on the top floor, and remember to let the two of them wear weapons on their hands. There was no time to explain to her what had happened, only the last two tightropes remained, and it wouldn't take more than three minutes.

"But, you, what are you going to do?" Li Xiaoai's tone was even more flustered, and there was a slight tremble.

"Help me, please." None of the conversations between the two emotionally uncontrolled young women in the chaos were useful, and Angela was kneeling in front of the metal door crying.

"Xiao Ai, listen to what I just said, go now, listen to me." This is the last chance.

"Li Xiaoai!" Angela continued to scream, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that about your... I shouldn't... Woo woo... Please, help me! ”

There was no more sound outside the door, and no matter how Angela broke down, her heart may be filled with endless regrets. The person who fell into the well unintentionally and held the well rope at the mouth of the well was actually the person who had been hurt by himself? Perhaps the story before falling into the well is more intriguing.

Time is still passing quietly, but there is no reply. On the contrary, my hanging heart sank half, Li Xiaoai should have gone upstairs to find someone as I just said.

Just as he was thinking about it, the fifth steel cable had already broken in response, and the metal whip was whipped directly at Angela, who was sobbing on her knees. Seeing that she was about to dodge the oncoming blow, I didn't have time to protect her, so I had to push her away with all my might with my right hand.

"Ahh The right arm hurts, like a stick.

The only remaining steel cable could no longer be supported, and the box suddenly began to slide like a free fall, and the weightlessness of the suspension hit again, but I felt that this fall might really be a stroke to hell.

The momentary feeling of falling was followed by the feeling of being pulled in an instant, and the elevator car of Angela and I was like a weighing pan that was hanging on the scale and swaying up and down back and forth, and we were like chickens and ducklings waiting to be slaughtered on the weighing pan, with no room for resistance.

Angela suddenly stopped crying, she leaned on the metal wall of the elevator car with a blue face, as if she was at a loss after a collapse, and as if she had accepted the sudden arrangement of fate.

One minute... Two minutes...

Three minutes... Four minutes... It's been quiet...

There was no sound in the darkness, no more slight tremors of the elevator box, and no faint visible metal welding sparks overhead.

The only wire rope was hanging from the elevator box, and I don't know what floor we're on now after a few rounds of dangling, but I'm sure we're all alive.

Five points...

Six...

The clock is still ticking and the darkness is still going on.

"Miss An, Miss An? Are you still in there? The sound of the metal door being knocked on was accompanied by Qiu Shao's voice from the metal door two floors away.

"Qiu Shao? Miss An and I are below your floor, and on the top floor, you quickly send someone to support Yu Yang and Fu Dongdong. ”

"Dong Jian and Cheng Luchen have already brought people up, don't worry, we will find a way to save you two."

Angela, who had fallen silent, didn't say a word, but when she heard our conversation, she fell into that hoarse cry again.
