Chapter 7: Haunting

In the early morning of the second day, as soon as I arrived at the company, I heard one after another gossip, which was very vivid.

Sitting in my seat, I paid no attention to the small talk, turned on my computer and got ready to get to work.

Xiao Ai next to me leaned over and asked, "Sister Yun, do you know?" The company was haunted last night. ”

is also a new employee, Xiao Ai has just graduated from a prestigious school, although he is not in the same team as me, but his personality is innocent, and he is still in love. Therefore, I was not stingy to talk to her, but I did not forget to remind her, "There are more people and more right and wrong, talk less and do more, which is one of the necessary laws in the workplace." ”

Xiao Ai stuck out her tongue and moved the swivel chair back to her place, I was very satisfied with her teachable attitude, and smiled at her before burying herself in her work, and did not rest all day.

At eight o'clock in the evening, I was about to get up and go to the pantry to pour water, when the lights on the ceiling went out again, this time without warning and without a prelude to the flickering and dimming, which was strange.

In the darkness, some people screamed, some gasped, and some people hurriedly fled with their bags.

There are a lot of people working overtime in large companies, not to mention that it's only eight o'clock now, I don't wonder how these people reacted, after all, there were rumors of ghosts last night, and today's accident will inevitably make some people in the atmosphere panic.

I had experienced such a scene before, but my heart was calm, I got up and walked to the pantry in the dark, poured hot water and returned, and passed by many colleagues who fled in a hurry along the way, which was a little funny.

When I returned to my seat, there were only three or five people left in the office area that was still full of people, some of them turned on flashlights, some lit candles, but everyone complained of dissatisfaction, to the effect that there was too much work arranged by the leader, so that they had to work overtime, and they couldn't leave if they wanted to, which was really annoying.

I lit the two candles that had been prepared, and after feeling that the light was enough, I automatically blocked the sound sources of complaining around and focused on a bunch of tables in front of me, recently there were more and more reports in the media about "Rosemoon's performance is not good, and employees commit suicide by jumping off the building due to salary cuts", the company's performance has declined significantly, and the quiet performance is very anxious, and our work arrangements are becoming more and more intensive and frequent, and it cannot be completed without overtime, so I can only ignore the fact that other team members have fled, and focus on completing my work as soon as possible. to spare time on weekends to accompany Shen Yi to attend a college reunion.

In fact, I have no interest in this kind of self-touting party, but she is very keen on these boring gatherings, and I used to be a cadre of the school association, so I should not shirk it with affection and reason, so I can only give in to Shen Yi.

Immersed in my work, I tend to completely ignore the scene around me, when I pulled out of the countless forms and documents, the hands on the watch were almost pointing to twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, I took a breath, pressed the somewhat collapsed lower abdomen, and when I got up to leave, I heard a faint ringing outside the door.

The sound was like the sound of wind chimes colliding, and it was inevitably strange to suddenly appear in such an office area.

I stood up and looked up.

There were many people outside the glass door, and the lights of the flashlights were flickering, and it seemed that there were quite a few people.

I'm a little puzzled, three watches in the middle of the night, what are these people doing?

Looking around, the office area was already empty, and there was no one else but me, because the power supply had not been restored for a long time, and I was disturbed by the cold and silent atmosphere, so I didn't care about the farce outside the door, blew out the candles that were about to burn out, picked up my handbag and walked out the door.

But for some reason, the passage that was only more than 500 meters away seemed to have no end, and I looked at the glass gate close at hand, stopped in surprise, raised my wrist to look at my watch, and was shocked.

When I left, I looked at my watch, and it was exactly 11:45 in the middle of the night, and now it was 11:53, and I had walked for eight minutes before I reached the door.

From a normal point of view, this is simply not possible, usually I go in and out of this passage, and it doesn't take more than five minutes to go back and forth, what is the situation tonight?

I began to suspect that the watch was broken, but when I took out my phone, it was exactly right.

Suppressing my anxiety, I turned on the flashlight on my phone and shone it on the floor.

The beige floor tiles were slightly whitened in the light, and the air seemed a little cold.

I tightened my coat and stared at the glass door of the doorway to speed up.

However, all this work I did was in vain, whether I had the lights or not, whether I had the wrong time or not, five minutes later, I was still walking down the hallway, walking and running, but still not reaching the end.

The people outside the door did not leave, the light of the flashlight kept sweeping around, and the people who were surrounded by them in the middle held a bamboo pole in their hands, and there seemed to be a silver bell hanging on the pole, and every time they walked, it would make a crisp ringtone, all at once, clear and good, but it looked very weird.

"Hey, anyone?" I finally realized something was wrong and had to shout.

The quiet office area is more than 200 square meters, and the echo should be very loud.

But the people outside the door didn't seem to hear my voice, no one looked sideways, and no one turned the light of the flashlight to me to shine a light, I seemed to be isolated in a void space, no one knew of my existence, which inevitably reminded me of a word: ghost hitting the wall.

This word is often mentioned in ghost movies, it should be a trick set up by creatures such as ghosts, and the people in it can't break out anyway, unless they are rescued by outsiders, they can only be trapped in it.

I'm an atheist, but here and now, it's so real that I believe it can't be a nightmare.

I secretly pinched myself, the pain really hit, cold sweat instantly covered my body, I resisted the trembling of my fingers and searched for it on my phone, in fact, I didn't think about who to dial, but it was better than standing here and doing nothing.

In the address book, there are actually a lot of names of customers, classmates, and colleagues, but there is no one who can make me want to call, my trembling fingers keep sliding, my eyes quickly sweep over all kinds of names, and I only think that I must find someone to help me, I must!

At that moment, my mind was actually blank, I didn't think about who to ask for help, but all I could find seemed to be my best friend Shen Yi, only she would not turn off the phone in the middle of the night, and only she was worthy of my trust.

But the strange thing is that no matter how I rummaged, I didn't have Shen Yi's name, I clearly remembered that I saved it in the address book after she changed her number last month, did there be an accident, I didn't save it successfully?

I suddenly resented and hated in my heart, this dead girl often changed her number like crazy in order to avoid countless suitors, if not, would I need to go to such great lengths to find her contact information? It's really sad for me.

Suddenly, a phone number in the address book jumped into view, and my finger slid inexplicably.

Ling Kai!
