April 1. Sunday. Night, 22:10.

Night, boundless night.

The crescent moon hung like a hook in the yellow sandy sky, and the moonlight illuminated a lonely cactus, and the spire of the half-collapsed wooden church, the cross long broken between the waist of the ruined house. A winding street, lined with houses almost all built before World War II, with closed doors and windows with no light in them. A mile away in the wasteland, a male wolf raised his head to the sky and let out a terrifying howl.

As if to match the wolf howl in the distance, a creepy scream sounded at the same time in the two-story house at the end of the town. As these terrifying voices rang out everywhere, the surviving people of the entire town shivered in their covers, under windowsills, in their closets, and in their bathrooms.

You followed the sound to the big house, and the door opened automatically, and the dark living room was filled with a fishy smell, and the soles of your feet were disgustingly slippery. Out of nowhere, a glimmer of light illuminated a row of old green wooden staircases. Walking up cautiously, the staircase made a sound that it was about to break and fall at any moment. The light swept across the white walls, filled with a shocking amount of blood—not a streak of blood, but a red color that almost covered the walls, gradually cascading all over the staircase. The narrow second-floor corridor, from the ceiling to the wall to the floor, was all smeared with bright red blood. A red stream flowed from the crack in the bedroom door, and the doorknob was clearly stamped with bloody handprints that had not yet dried up. The moment this door opens, you collapse.

On such an eerie thunderstorm night, watching an American horror movie that is said to have scared people to death on the other side of the ocean, five or six pairs of young men and women screamed in horror together in the seventh screening hall of Future Dream Studios - inevitably let the boys who had just begun to fall in love take advantage of them.

With one exception, she was lonely and curled up in the last row, with no little boy or old man by her side, just popcorn and soda.

Two hours ago, Mo Xinger came to the ninth floor of the Future Dream Building alone and bought a movie ticket for "Bloody Town" at the ticket window of the studio. Future Dream Studios has eight screens, and it is often full on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at half price, but tonight it was a bit cold.

The conductor frowned incredulously when he saw this beautiful young woman watching a horror movie alone on a rainy Sunday night. Mo Xing'er felt that she was being treated as a monster or a pervert, and slapped her swollen face and became fat, and emphasized: "Cough! Cough! I specialize in American horror films. After saying that, she regretted it, there were no three hundred taels of silver here, so she almost pasted two words on her forehead - loneliness.

A twenty-five-year-old white-collar beauty, dressed in a casual sweater and skinny jeans, sits in the corner of the last row of the movie theater. The projector's flickering beams shot out above her head, projecting a horrific and bloody image of a small American western town onto the screen in front of her. She looked back at the screening window and imagined what terrible secrets could be hidden in the small house that emitted white light.

When the least terrifying romance was staged on the screen, Mo Xinger let out a scream that shocked the audience. Other audience members screamed, and theater staff came to see what was going on. It turned out that she felt itchy on the soles of her feet, and she didn't know what was rubbing around, so she took a picture with her mobile phone, only to find that it was a huge gray mouse scurrying around her sneakers! The staff was also so frightened that they almost fell. The hateful rat then scurried into the dark corner.

She was not in the mood to watch movies anymore, and she sharply asked how there were rats in the cinema. The reply was that the future dream studio has been open for three years, and this is the first time that rats have been found. She subconsciously said: "Is it going to be an earthquake, and the rats and cockroaches have run out?" ”

In order to calm the situation, the manager on duty refunded the full price of the movie ticket as compensation.

Finally, in the double fear of the bloody western American town on the screen, and the small animals that may appear under his feet at any time, Mo Xinger ended this special movie.

Walking out of the cinema in a panic, he was surrounded by young men and women who had come out together. Mo Xing'er leaned on the railing of the atrium, overlooking the ground floor, and a wave of dizziness hit her.

At the entrance of the cinema, there is a glass-walled landscape elevator with a panoramic view of the building's atrium. She followed a couple of lovers to squeeze in, next to a pair of men and women, kissing passionately as if no one was around, and she turned her head in a blushing heartbeat.

April 1. Sunday. Night, 22:19.

The elevator shook slightly. The others didn't react yet, but Mo Xing'er's heart jumped wildly, and she subconsciously grabbed the elevator handrail. In less than two seconds, the elevator shook a second time, and everyone screamed, as if they were back in the bloody night of the American West town in the movie just now.

The man and woman who were kissing wildly lost their balance and fell on Mo Xing'er. She screamed instinctively, trying to withstand the weight with her back. The elevator swayed in the opposite direction again. Amid the screams of seven or eight people, she was squeezed into a corner, for fear that the glass curtain wall would be crushed and she would be the first to fly out.

The elevator lights flickered rapidly, and the entire mall was lit and dimmed. The boy near the elevator door tries to press the emergency button, but in a panic he staggers the emergency call, and a shrill whistling sound sounds, just like the terrifying noise at the end of the movie. This elevator, which carries many people, is like a toy in the hands of a child. Mo Xing'er looked through the glass, but there was no sign of shaking in the atrium and various floors of the mall - it's just that in the Jack Jones men's clothing store on the seventh floor, tall and straight model dummies in casual suits and shirts have fallen one after another.

Although she was dizzy from the collision, Mo Xinger realized that it was not the elevator that shook, but the entire Future Dream Building that shook violently! The elevator did not shake relative to the building, but the building shook relative to the ground along with the elevator.

In an instant, the lights inside the elevator and the entire shopping mall were all extinguished, and with the cry of fear in the elevator, in a pitch darkness, Mo Xing'er's legs rushed to the floor - the elevator stopped.

The entire building was powered out.

In the small space where you can't see your fingers, the light of the mobile phone screen is constantly lit up, illuminating the faces of the dead ghosts in horror movies. Mo Xing'er didn't bother to take out her mobile phone, she closed her eyes quietly, leaned against the cold glass, and shed a hot tear. She didn't weep for her imminent death, but regretted that she didn't have time to do something.

April 1. Sunday. Night, 22:20.

The shaking of the elevator and the building has basically stopped, and this small elevator will become the coffin of the living dead.

Suddenly, the elevator landed rapidly, and the inertia made everyone flutter, and I don't know how deep the descent was - at the speed of the descent just now, at least twenty more floors landed! There are only nine floors from the cinema to the ground floor, so could it be that the elevator goes straight to hell?

Just when everyone was desperate for not knowing when it would fall to the bottom, the elevator suddenly stopped again.

Mo Xing'er kept staring outside the glass wall, and she had a strange feeling that the elevator was not descending inside the mall. Although nothing can be seen clearly outside, it seems that nothing has changed, and the opposite floor is still the fourth and fifth floors, and the light from a mobile phone dozens of meters away can illuminate the billboard of a Rolex watch. Just as the elevator is not shaking relative to the building, at this time, the elevator is also not descending relative to the building - but the entire Future Dream Building is falling rapidly!

The second time they fell, everyone didn't make a sound again, and when they stopped, they screamed again.

I don't know who touched a button, and the elevator door opened automatically. Perhaps, there is also a backup power supply for elevators? The people fled one after another, but the first person hit the reinforced concrete and fell on the crowd with a scream.

Mo Xing'er's judgment was correct, the elevator was still in the mall, but it did not stop on the floor, but fell between the fourth and fifth floors, and the elevator door opened to face the floor between the fourth and fifth floors.

Everyone used their mobile phones to take a random photo forward, and found that the middle of the elevator door was blocked, but there was a gap of about 50 centimeters on the top to the fifth floor, and a gap of about 40 centimeters below to the fourth floor. Whether it is the fourth or fifth floor, from the narrow gap with the beam of the mobile phone, it is like an ancient tomb buried deep underground, and from time to time there is the sound of collapsing walls, broken glass, panicked running footsteps, and cries for help from the dying......

The elevator that loses power hangs in the air, and it may fall at any time, directly hitting the ground floor, even if it is not broken, if the glass curtain wall is smashed, it will become a sharp blade. Escaping is the only option, and sooner or later you will be buried in this steel coffin.

From time to time, the atrium of the mall flashed with a faint light, presumably the mobile phones of the survivors. Mo Xing'er took out her mobile phone, but there was no signal. Usually the mobile phone signal here is very good, whether it is mobile or Unicom, there are mobile stations nearby - have all the communication networks in the city been interrupted?

Someone wants to venture out and climb out. It's easier to choose to climb from the bottom, but below is the suspended fourth floor, and if you get out in the dark and don't know the distance from the ground, you may break your neck. It was difficult to climb up to the gap, but it was the fifth floor. The only danger is that with such a small gap, it is impossible to climb out in a second, in case the elevator cable breaks and falls, then the person will be stopped and cut into two pieces!

Who would dare to be the first to go on the adventure?

Everyone used their mobile phones to look at each other's faces, and they all looked so scary, as if there were several ghost faces mixed in them.

A small boy volunteered to crawl out of the gap above with his hands and feet with the help of his girlfriend. His girlfriend grabbed his outstretched hand and was about to climb up, when a man next to him rushed up first. The elevator suddenly became a mess, everyone scrambled to be the first, and from time to time mobile phones fell, only the angry curses of men, the miserable cries of women, and the sound of slaps and fists during the fight.

Mo Xing'er huddled alone in the corner, closing her eyes and waiting for them to disappear or die.

Two minutes later, a few people finally escaped from the elevator, and you can imagine their noses and faces swollen and bleeding.

However, there were still two people left in the elevator car. Two women.

Mo Xing'er illuminated her with her mobile phone, the woman who kissed her boyfriend as if no one was next to her before the earthquake. The woman threw herself at the elevator door and flapped wildly, shouting a man's name. But there was no response, and those who had climbed out of the elevator had probably all run down the escape tunnel—including her dearest man.

"He ran away." Mo Xing'er whispered behind her, making the woman who was still immersed in sweet happiness just now completely collapse. She cried out in despair, cursing the man for not dying well. Mo Xing'er said, "I'll lift you up." She looked back in surprise, her tearful face was particularly intimidating in the light of her phone screen. Mo Xing'er nodded sincerely, not knowing what kind of image she was under the beam of the other party's mobile phone. Mo Xing'er half-squatted down and held up her lower body hard, almost letting her step on her back. The instinct to survive made the woman extra energetic, grabbing the upper edge of the elevator door, seeing that most of her body was about to go out......

There was a crisp cracking sound overhead!

Mo Xing'er's heart was almost shattered, and just as he wanted to shout "quick", the elevator fell down rapidly!

The poor woman, before she could climb out, had already smashed the top of the elevator to her waist.

Flesh and blood couldn't stop the steel, and in the darkness above Mo Xing'er's head, there was the sound of some kind of material shattering. As she screamed, a fishy, thick liquid splashed on her face.
