The two of them stood in front of the elevator door, and neither raised their hands to press the door button. But the elevator made a crisp and pleasant "Ding Dong~", and the elevator door slowly opened, as if he had known that they were waiting for the elevator.

The two of them were stunned for a moment, but they didn't mean to raise their legs and take a step forward, and they seemed to have a very tacit understanding. The strange way of opening the elevator couldn't help but surprise the two. They looked at each other in disbelief. I felt that there must be something strange in it, and the elevator horror last night left an indelible impression. The screams in the elevator that day still lingered in my ears, clearly audible, and it was terrifying to recall.

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake for ten years, they are afraid of the well rope, both of them suffer from a certain degree of elevator phobia, every time they take the elevator they are afraid to die, afraid that they will encounter the situation last time.

So at present, the two of them are refusing in their hearts, and neither of them wants to enter the elevator. If you want to blame, you can only blame the elevator door for opening it without authorization, killing a surprise.

Lin Qiuzheng is a more old-fashioned person and loves face, how can he let his apprentice know that he is afraid of taking the elevator? In the future, if it is rumored, his old face will be put there. So he stood there stupidly, stunned as he watched the elevator door close and close in front of his eyes, and didn't make a sound.

The slow opening and closing of the elevator door "clang~clang~" seemed to be urging the two to get in quickly. Liu Zimo pursed his lips, nodded matter-of-factly, and said slowly: "Master, I think this elevator is very problematic, you see that it just doesn't close the door and goes up, I think we can't be fooled, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past." ”

Seeing him say this, Lin Qiuzheng was overjoyed in his heart, and secretly sighed that there was finally a step down. He rejoiced in his heart, but showed nothing on his face. I saw him snuff out the cigarette butt, and his mouth made a thoughtful sound of "hiss~~~~", raised his hand and touched his chin, and nodded solemnly: "I have also been observing for a long time." It's a bit odd indeed. We must not take this elevator, there must be fraud in it. I think it's safer to take the stairs. Before the words fell, Liu Zimo nodded like pounding garlic, and he couldn't agree anymore.

In fact, this elevator is not anything weird, it is all an imported high-end induction elevator. As long as someone stands in front of this elevator door, the infrared will actively induce the door to open, saving people the trouble of pressing the up and down buttons. At present, the two of them are completely ghosts in their hearts.

Lin and Liu sang and turned to leave, walked into the fire safety passage on the side of the building, and went up the stairs instead. When he walked to the corner of the stairs, Lin Qiu was taking out a wallet from his backpack and throwing it to Liu Zimo.

When he saw that it was his wallet that had been taken away by thieves at the train station, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and checked the bag of money, which was full of everything. Even more happy, like the New Year, smiled and thanked again and again, and put the wallet in the trouser pocket.

The walkway in the ladder was empty, unusually quiet, and a pin drop could be heard. There was no sound other than the footsteps of the two men. The two walked up a few floors up the stairs one after the other, and suddenly heard the faint sound of police cars honking outside the window at the corner of the stairs.

Liu Zimo looked out the window and saw police cars flashing red and blue police lights on both sides of the road outside the building, parked horizontally and vertically from end to end. The police quickly got out of the car, and the divisions were at each intersection, looking serious, as if something had happened.

Lin Qiu was looking at this situation and felt relieved. I feel that Gu Gongxi kid is quite reliable, but I didn't expect the police car to come so quickly. But after he observed for a while, he found that these police officers did not mean to surround the building, but to evacuate the citizens on the street, and the originally bustling and lively street shops and bars were turned off one by one under the unified command of the police officers, and the crowd quickly dispersed.

In just a few minutes, the originally noisy street became deserted, and there was no one to be seen on the street except for uniformed police officers, and this strange scene all revealed a tense sense of imminence.

"Huh? Master, why did they close the bars and evacuate everyone? Didn't you say you just had to surround this place? Liu Zimo felt a little confused, he would be so exaggerated.

Lin Qiuzheng also felt strange that he just asked Gu Gongxi to call the police to come over, and he didn't plan to engage in such a big battle. Could it be that Gu Gongxi deliberately added oil and vinegar when he called the police, and what he said was particularly exaggerated?

After a while, the police officers who had evacuated the citizens turned around one after another, came to the middle of the road and began to pull up the yellow cordon, closing the intersection one by one, and all the vehicles passing on the road were stopped by the police. I saw several police officers come forward to exchange a few words with the car owner, and the car owner stopped the vehicle in place and left quickly accompanied by the police officers, looking more panicked.

Lin Qiuzheng looked downstairs, feeling that the scale of this pomp was not ordinary, and it was estimated that most of the police force had been dispatched. I have only seen such a high-level road closure alert a few times in my police career, and I usually arrange the blocking route in advance to receive foreign heads of state and presidents. Or for armed bandits, the road is cut and checked one by one. However, I haven't heard of bandits in the city recently. Why did you suddenly do this tonight? He frowned and groaned, "Hiss~~~~ I don't know either." But I look at this posture, they should have suddenly encountered a big incident. ”

While talking, a row of SUVs marked with the word special police drove at high speed on the street, and there were more than a dozen cars in front and behind, and they were driving all the way to the west in a hurry. There are also several police officers directing at the road crossings along the way, waving signal lights in their hands to guide traffic for passing SWAT vehicles to ensure that they can move smoothly all the way.

"I'm going~ Even the SWAT is dispatched! It's the rhythm of the fight! Master, what day do you say today? Why are all good things squeezed together? Liu Zimo looked at everything that happened outside the window with a smile on his face, and his words were quite lively. It's really a big deal to watch a play.

"What day is today~~~" Lin Qiuzheng muttered again. After a few seconds, his body suddenly shook suddenly, his eyebrows raised, and his eyes widened. Only then did he suddenly come to his senses, and exclaimed: "It turns out that today is the Midyear Festival of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, commonly known as the "Ghost Festival". “

Every year on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, it coincides with the alternation of summer and autumn, which is precisely the node of the alternation of yin and yang of heaven and earth. According to Taoist legend, the seventh half is the birthday of the local official, and the day of praying for the forgiveness of the local official, the underworld will release all the ghosts, and the deceased ancestors can go home for reunion, so the day of the seventh and a half days of ancestor worship is called the "Ghost Festival". In Buddhism, it is called "Obon". In ancient times, people would have the customs of worshipping ancestors, worshipping the souls of the dead, releasing river lanterns, and burning paper ingots on this day. This midyear festival has become a traditional ancestor worship festival in addition to the Qingming and Chongyang festivals.
