Chapter 18: Room 724
He saw something that surprised him.
The general manager sat in the boss's chair and hadn't left yet. It's just that he turned his chair to the floor-to-ceiling window behind him, and only half of his head could be seen from Shi Yuan's angle.
It seemed to be a balding old man, with a wrinkled scalp that had clearly lost its life.
The boss's chair kept swaying from side to side, as if the general manager was enjoying a comfortable leisure time.
Shi Yuan looked at the window.
I thought that the general manager was looking at the scenery outside the window, but at the moment it was night, it was dark outside, there was no moon and no light, even if I wanted to see it, there was nothing to see.
What is this person doing?
Shi Yuan thought.
In the perceptual domain, there is a white humanoid on the boss's chair.
Since it is a living person, it is easy to do. I just don't know, what is he doing at such a late hour?
"Hello." Shi Yuan whispered tentatively.
The general manager did not react and did not seem to hear.
"Hello!" Shi Yuan raised his voice.
Still no response.
Shi Yuan walked forward slowly.
At this moment, he found that the white humanoid in the boss's chair in front of him in the perceptual domain was getting darker and darker, and this color changed extremely quickly, and in just one breath, the humanoid changed from white to black.
Shi Yuan was taken aback.
Could it be that this person was also affected by a mutation and suddenly turned into a ghost?
No, if so, it should be a gray humanoid, not a white one.
Shi Yuan probed carefully and found that the human figure did not turn black, but merged with the surrounding environment.
He went from being a living person to an "object".
He's dead? In such a moment?
Shi Yuan immediately quickened his pace and ran in front of the general manager.
I saw a shriveled little old man sitting in the boss's chair, with ravines on his face, drier than a thousand-year-old tree. The exposed hands were completely skin and bone, as if they had been sucked out of blood, and they could not feel any moisture. Both eyes and one mouth were wide open, and they looked rather terrifying.
I don't know if he was short in stature, or atrophied after death, or suffering from some kind of disease, the old man's body looked like it was only the size of an ordinary five or six-year-old child.
Four words popped into my mind.
Miniature dried corpses.
Strictly speaking, it's not "miniature", it's just a little shorter than the average adult. However, always give it a try.
Shi Yuan had already investigated, and there were not many people in this building at all, which must have been the result of "some kind of force" behind the mission.
People concerned, stay. It is almost impossible for unrelated people to stay there.
This shriveled old man definitely didn't stay in this office because he had to work overtime or something.
But how do you give it to a girl in love? It's a corpse, and it's a corpse that has just died, and it feels quite strange if you move it to the roof like carrying items.
However, the current situation is a matter of life and death, and I can't take care of whether I feel comfortable or not.
"Wu Boyuan, come here and do me a favor."
Wu Boyuan, who got the news, immediately came to Shi Yuan's side and looked at the shriveled corpse, his brows furrowed.
Each of them has a lot of survival tools that they might use. The two took out the contents and put together an extremely simple stretcher on which the shriveled corpse was placed.
Looking at the dried corpse, Xia Biao and the others were all shocked.
However, the delivery process went extremely smoothly, and the girl in love handed over the next gift to Shi Yuan.
Another blank sheet of paper.
What the hell is this?
Shi Yuan looked at the piece of paper repeatedly, and also tried soaking, baking and other methods, but nothing worked.
On the seventh floor, there is still no human figure.
Wan Yizhu mentioned her friend's name twice and hoped to find her, but Shi Yuan told her that there was no smell of her in the whole building.
Wan Yizhu couldn't understand what he meant, but eventually stopped asking.
Just when Shi Yuan thought that the search for the seventh layer would also be spent in a dead silence, a miserable cry came from a certain direction.
Shi Yuan instantly expanded his perception domain and noticed that there was a white humanoid and a black humanoid in the innermost room.
"Don't act rashly."
Shi Yuan stretched out his arm to block the others who wanted to check because they heard the sound.
At that moment, a death knell sounded.
Shi Yuan and Wu Boyuan immediately took out their mobile phones to check the task text message.
"Enter room 724 in two minutes and make your choice."
It was not only Shi Yuan and Wu Boyuan who received this text message, but all the six people who got together received it.
Room 724 is the room where screams have just been heard, and there are also two humanoid rooms, one black and one white.
It's a task within a mission.
There is no turning back.
"Everybody follow me." Shi Yuan said, and led everyone to 724.
The screaming continued.
Judging by the sound, the person who screamed was suffering both physically and mentally.
It was a product of pain and fear.
The voice...... How is it familiar...... It won't ......"
Shi Yuan became even more nervous and quickened his pace.
The door to room 724 is unlocked and opens at the touch of a button.
The scene inside made everyone's eyes widen instantly.
In the middle of the room hung from the ceiling, a man covered in blood, struggling and writhing. On the ground below was a large pool of blood.
Below, on the vertical left side of the hanging man, stood a pale man with long black hair and two black holes left with two eyes gouged out.
Shi Yuan knew that it was an evil ghost.
"Welcome," said the demon's voice suddenly, "you now have two choices, one, choose one of you to replace the one hanging from above; Two, kill the person and get clues to the next step. Please tell me about your options. ”
"What?"
Shen Xunkun and the others looked at each other, unable to believe their ears.
Everyone looked at the hanging man, and clearly saw that there were countless wounds on his face, and his body was also covered with blood, and blood was gushing out of his mouth, obviously seriously injured.
The man was not unconscious, but when he saw a few people coming, he felt that he might have hope of being rescued, and immediately screamed like a pig.
"Help! Help me! I don't want to die! Please save me! ”
It was a middle-aged man, thin and wearing a plaid shirt. There was a pair of glasses on the floor below, which were supposed to be his, but they were knocked off.
The man shouted for a moment, then suddenly stopped, his eyes fixed on one of them.
After a few seconds, he suddenly shouted, "Shi Yuan? Shi Yuan! Shi Yuan! You save me! Save my life! ”
"You know him?" Wu Boyuan asked uneasily.
"Hmm......" Shi Yuan said in a low voice, "he is my math teacher, Mr. Yan." ”
"Your teacher?"
Several other people were also more or less surprised when they heard this.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's me, I'm Teacher Yan! I'm Teacher Yan! Shi Yuan, you save me! I'll tutor you separately in the future! I'll take your grades one step further! ”
