Chapter 6: The Staircase

Even though I scared myself for a whole night, nothing happened except for the cold and gloomy images of the company that always appeared in my dreams.

Turned over and sat up from the bed, looked at the phone, it was only a little over six, rubbed his head that was a little sore because of poor sleep quality, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

"It's so early, the driver shouldn't have come here yet, right? But why is he always in charge of picking up and dropping me off and from work? Thinking like this in my heart, thinking this in my heart, I unconsciously looked through the window to the place where the car usually parked downstairs.

"Really! Not here yet. ”

I stood in front of the washstand, looked at my deep dark circles, and suddenly felt that it was good that the driver didn't come, after all, there are so many strange things in this company, and sitting in such a weird car all day long, the whole body will be uncomfortable.

Thinking of what Sun Guming said last night, I no longer bothered about the company and the driver, anyway, I want to go to the company, it's better not to think so much, thinking of this, I feel quite a heroic feeling of dying.

After cleaning up, I went downstairs to the bus station and went straight to the company by car.

When I got on the bus, I noticed that in the cul-de-sac on the corner of the street, a retro black sedan suddenly drove out, as if it appeared out of thin air, and it looked like a dead end that had been leading to some unknown place!

In the hour on the bus, I really realized what it is like to sit on pins and needles, and it is one thing to be prepared in my heart, but when it came time to face it, my legs still trembled uncontrollably, and even getting off the bus for such a little distance was like a long life.

After getting out of the car, I looked up at the hot sun even in the morning, and pulled my collar helplessly.

I looked at the gate of this building, and felt strange in my heart, I came here to work these days, I have always been picked up by the driver, and they are all fixed from the parking garage downstairs of the company, it seems, this is the first time I walked in from the main entrance, and looking at the people coming and going here, and the scene on the seventeenth floor is incompatible, do you say? People here are all dirty?

This is the time when most companies are working, and for a while, the entire first floor of the building is crowded with people from qualified companies.

My brain was in a state of panic, and I let the crowd squeeze me into the elevator.

The people around are more or less sweaty because of the summer, so many people are crowded in the small air of the elevator, it is inevitable that it is a little stuffy.

"That's right! Hot! The bodies of the people around are hot. ”

When I finally realized this, I almost cried with joy, "Maybe the other day, everything I had was just a big dream?" There was no such strange person in the elevator at all, the elevator also stopped on other floors, and the button was not just a seventeenth floor. Or, it really could have been a fake the other day! This is the real company, the real world. ”

It was as if I had suddenly suffered from madness, completely ignoring the eyes of the people around me, and muttering over and over again, "Everything I am experiencing now is real!" ”

On the seventeenth floor, I got off the elevator, this time I was not alone, my colleagues from the company who usually disappeared in an instant after work, this time crowded to the door of the office.

But when I arrived at the door of the company, I couldn't get in, I raised my head and looked at the name of the company in a daze.

"No, there must be something wrong! The name of this company is definitely wrong, it is not right here from the moment I came in, it is too normal! ”

"What are you doing here?"

A man's deep voice came from behind him, a series of things had made my brain lose the ability to think independently, and he turned his head blankly.

It was no one else standing behind me, and the driver of the black sedan looked at me with no expression on his sickly pale face.

"I ...... I...... How do I ...... How to get back to the company? ”

"Follow me!"

The man did not take the elevator downstairs, but went down the stairs step by step from the emergency passage, and although I was unwilling, I still followed the man down.

As I walked down step by step, I gradually felt that the way the man walked was a little strange, and at first I didn't notice it, but the farther away I got from the man, the greater the strange feeling.

Like a normal person, if you go downstairs, it will inevitably follow the spacing of the stairs, so that people will fall violently when going downstairs, and you can clearly see that you are taking the stairs from a distance, but when the man goes downstairs, there is no such situation, as if he is taking the elevator, more like ...... Float down!

As soon as such a strange thought appeared, I found that my back was already soaked, and saliva suddenly came out of my mouth that I couldn't swallow no matter how I swallowed.

The time was on my own step by step down the stairs "click...... Tick ......" in the footsteps of the past.

There were seventeen flights of stairs, and although I was going down the stairs, I already felt that my knees were aching faintly, but the man didn't seem to ask me about my mood in the slightest, and I couldn't say anything like rest, not to mention that there were only five floors left.

“5…… 4…… 3…… 2…… 1……”

Finally, it was almost there, and just as I was relieved, the man still did not stop to go out through the exit, but still followed the stairs, step by step.

"Going to the underground garage again? Do you want to take the elevator again? ”

The whole thing never seemed to go the way I thought, layer by layer, the man still didn't stop, and went down another five floors, but the stairs still didn't seem to be the same, and the man didn't seem to notice that I was getting farther and farther away from him.

I watched the man's back get farther and farther away, and cautiously poked my head out and glanced at the shaft opening next to the stairs.

It's dark, and there's no way to see where the bottom is? If you go any further, you probably won't be able to get up, right? If you go any further, no matter what you encounter, it is estimated that there will only be a dead end!

There are more and more thoughts in my mind, the unknown fear makes me lose my strength all over, I sit down slowly by leaning on the handrail of the stairs, the cold sweat on my body has stopped, the whole clothes are wet, the wind that swells up under the stairs blows, the whole person is cold, and the body has begun to tremble unconsciously!

"Why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time! ”

The man was still in front, and the sound was coming from behind, and you didn't have to think about it to know what was making the sound in this kind of place.

"Ahh

I just felt that there was no room for so many strange things in my brain that challenged my nerves, desperately, shouting at the top of my voice.

Suddenly, I felt that someone had cut off my vocal cords, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't make a sound, and I slowly turned around, and there were stairs behind me, and everything behind me disappeared from the time I left, engulfed in endless darkness.
