Chapter 3: The Seventeenth Floor

After waiting for about two hours, it was finally Zhao Lan's turn. www.biquge.info At this time, the people in the passage have changed a batch, and the people in front of Zhao Lan have already left, some of them have met their requirements, and they are happy and comforted when they leave, while some people have found nothing, with a look of frustration and amazement.

Zhao Lan walked to the door of the office, and the cool young man was a little surprised, he naturally knew Zhao Lan, but he didn't expect Zhao Lan to come over.

"Mr. Zhao, why are you here? Do you want me to go in and report it? The young man said politely.

Zhao Lan waved her hand and said with a smile: "You are busy with you, I'll take a look and talk to Chang'an." ”

The young man opened the office door, let Zhao Lan in, and then received the guests behind him with a dark face. Zhao Lan walked into the office gently, and was greeted by a screen, a very strange screen, on which a strange person was drawn.

Nowadays, people rarely use such things as screens at home or in the office, and there is no specific reason, in short, screens, which were once popular in ancient times, are now gradually being eliminated. Zhao Lan would notice this screen every time he came to the Exorcism Association, firstly, the screen appeared very abruptly and strangely, and secondly, the people painted on the screen always made him feel very familiar.

Passing through the screen and entering the interior of the office, the interior is dimly lit, and the first thing one notices when one enters is a vague shrine with a black idol of the god inside. Although it was not the first time for Zhao Lan to come, he was still attracted by the shrine, and he recovered in a very short time, and then said dissatisfiedly: "Qu Changan, can you turn on the fluorescent lamp?" It's too dark too. ”

"Hehe......" said a strange laugh, then a slightly hoarse voice, "I don't care if I turn on the lights, but without the mysterious effect, what can I make money?" Ah Lan, I knew you were coming, what did I tell you that day? Recently, you have had a bad year, and you are going to be troubled by evil spirits, how about it, has it been fulfilled? ”

A man of about 1.75 meters and a medium stature walked out of the darkness, looking like the kind of chattering guy at first glance, wearing a strange Tang costume, wearing a bun, and holding a wooden sword in his hand. This guy dressed as a typical god stick is Qu Changan, and he is also a good friend of Zhao Lan, the two have known each other since they were young, and their relationship is relatively deep.

Qu Changan's growth trajectory when he was a child was exactly the same as Zhao Lan's, the two were in the same elementary school and the same class, and then they were admitted to the same junior high school. However, in the first year of high school, Qu Changan suddenly disappeared, and Zhao Lan searched for him several times to no avail, and it was not until he joined the work that he met him again by chance.

After Zhao Lan and Qu Changan reunited, they asked him about the reason for his disappearance and his experience in the past few years, but Qu Changan talked about him every time, and obviously didn't want to say more, so Zhao Lan didn't ask anymore. Everyone has their own secrets, and you can't necessarily get to the bottom of it just because you have a good relationship.

Although Qu Changan didn't want to talk about it, Zhao Lan knew that he must have experienced a lot of things, and it could be seen from the fact that he could become a senior exorcist of the Exorcism Association.

"Chang'an, what do you always say about evil, what is that?" Zhao Lan frowned and asked, "You gods like to play tricks, I'm here today to verify it, to see if you are running with a train or if you really know some spells." ”

"Hehe," Qu Changan sneered, "There is such a thing as evil spirit, I can't say it clearly in a few words, but if you want to verify the exorcist's spell, today is the right day." ”

"What? What day is it? Zhao Lan asked strangely.

"Come with me, I'll take you to the seventeenth floor." Qu Changan explained to the young man standing at the door, and then took Zhao Lan to the depths of the office. Walking inside, Zhao Lan found that there was a small rotating staircase in the office, and from here he went up to the seventeenth floor.

No wonder the elevator outside is only sixteen and eighteen, not seventeen, it turns out that the entire seventeenth floor is sealed, and you can only go up from the sixteenth floor. Qu Changan is a senior exorcist of the Exorcism Association, and his status is unknown, but judging from the fact that he can master the entrance of the entire seventeenth floor, the level must not be low.

Climbing from the sixteenth floor to the seventeenth floor, I passed a black wooden door, which looked very tattered and creaked when opened. After passing through the wooden door, Zhao Lan found that he felt as if he had come to another world.

Outside the door was a street, a very old street, with all the old brick houses on the roof, all covered in gray tiles. The streets are lined with all sorts of signs, but they don't look like a business.

"The first floor of the ghost world, bag in and bag out!"

"The third layer of the ghost world, letters come and go!"

"Ghost ......"

Zhao Lan has been very quiet since she went up to the seventeenth floor, and she couldn't help but ask: "Chang'an, this is too funny, isn't it, is this a logistics company that connects yin and yang?" ”

Qu Changan glanced at Zhao Lan in surprise, that kind of "how do you know" look startled Zhao Lan, isn't it? I just guessed it casually, and I guessed it right? Could it be that this seventeenth floor is really a logistics company that is good enough to pass through yin and yang? Otherwise, how could there be so many signboards in the ghost world?

Qu Changan made a silent gesture and took Zhao Lan all the way to the depths of the street, the street was unusually quiet, if it weren't for the gentle echo of the footsteps of the two people, Zhao Lan would not even doubt that he was dreaming.

After walking on this street for about twenty minutes, Zhao Lan became more and more surprised. The twenty minutes had been a straight line, and it stands to reason that the entire seventeenth floor should have come to an end, but the street still had no end in sight. Zhao Lan is very sure that he has not taken a detour, let alone going back and forth, he has been walking in a straight line, so how did this huge difference between reality and cognition come about?

Qu Changan didn't speak all the way, and he didn't mean to answer Zhao Lan's questions at all. Although the things he experienced today were very strange, Zhao Lan was also silent, as a senior criminal police officer, it was his basic quality to deal with chaos without panic.

The two of them kept walking and walking like stuffy gourds, and if there were no unexpected changes, it seemed that they would have to go to the end of the world like this. However, no matter how long the road is, there is a time to finish it, I don't know how long it takes, a modern signboard suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Lan's eyes, different from the previous "Yin Yang Logistics Company", this sign has the words "Seventeenth Floor" written on it.
