Chapter 1: The Elevator of Horror

Next Chapter

Thick clouds cover the moon, and in the sparsely populated alleys, the cool breeze gusts.

a cluster of green leaves, wilted flowers and plants on one side; I didn't hear the croaking of frogs, nor did I hear the chirping of insects. The modern city with crowded buildings does not leave much space for greening, but the only community greening has become silent because of repeated insect control, sparse voices, and mosquitoes and flies are still infested.

"Hey! I didn't register. A conscientious security guard stopped in front of a young man in a tunic and crossed his waist to prevent him from giving way.

The young man looks very handsome, although the hairstyle is too modest and he wears thick-framed glasses, but he can't hide his cold temperament, if such a person stands in front of the security guard of the high-end apartment opposite, the other party will definitely respectfully take out the registration form and signature pen, but this is an old community, and the security guard in front of him is obviously not good at recognizing people.

"Registered." The young man walked past the security guard and walked forward.

"Stop!" The security guard did not give up and put his hand on the young man's shoulder.

"Someone has registered for me, you see." The pad holding the visitor registration form arrived in the young man's hand at some point, and he pointed to the fresh handwriting on the bottom line, "Half an hour ago. After speaking, he stuffed the pad to the security guard, and under the ignorant gaze of the other party, he walked quickly towards the community.

"Dongfang Yan ......" the security guard glanced at the registration form and muttered, "Strange surname." What the hell is this 'Seventh Master' above! Suddenly, as if he had just woken up from a big dream, he hurriedly chased after the young man, "Show me your ID card!" You have a problem with this registration! ”

The security guard thought he was running fast enough, but he found that the young man who was just striding forward was getting farther and farther away from him, turning a corner and losing the person, so he had no choice but to slow down his steps, wipe the sweat from his forehead, and began to suspect that his physical fitness had deteriorated for half a lifetime after working for half a year. The registered owner's address was nearby, and he was going to try his luck – provided they didn't write it down.

"No matter, at most you will be scolded." The security guard scolded the uncle who had just handed over to him. This person is mixed with the post, and after a long time, he will become an old fritter, but this work attitude is really ......

Dongfang Yan watched while walking, so he didn't care how hard the security guard chased after him.

"Xianggong! 9 buildings with 7 units. There was a little immature voice in the crisp, like a silver bell, ringing in Dongfang Yan's left ear.

"The Seventh Master is already waiting for us." Dongfang Yan lowered his voice, "It's not your fault, I said call me in half an hour, and you actually let me sleep for three hours......"

"Didn't I care about you? You've run three places in the past two days, do you remember that your body is not suitable for exertion? ”

Seeing a person coming over, Dongfang Yan quickened his pace and passed by the other party: "Cuihua!" There's a lot of people here, so don't talk to me, people bump into me when I'm schizophrenic. ”

"Your name is Cuihua! I'm obviously Cui Xiaohua! Your fiancΓ©e, Cui Xiaohua! ”

"Okay, okay, got it."

Dongfang Yan walked briskly in the dim corridor, and there would be a lot of noise every time he stepped in the corridor of the old community, but he didn't make a sound step by step. Of the only two light bulbs, one was broken, the other flickered on and off, and the slightly yellowed walls were even older due to the dim lighting.

"I saw her! Lift! ”

"Can't catch up." Dongfang frowned without a trace. Even though his speed was almost at the limit, by the time he saw his target, the elevator doors had already begun to close. He immediately hung the Bluetooth headset on his left ear, "Cuihua!" Tell me where the stairs are! ”

"On the right, about fifty steps, the seventh master is waiting for you on the second floor. I'm going to be angry if you call me Cuihua again! ”

Dongfang Yan turned a deaf ear to his partner's complaints, and his attention was all on the previous sentence. After walking forty-seven steps, he saw the rusty chains and smooth locks at a glance: "Seventh Master! Why don't you open the lock? ”

"Before I came up, there was no lock. Boss, wait a minute. Before the middle-aged man's voice fell, the lock opened on its own, and the chain slipped to the ground.

Dongfang Yan slammed open the door of the stairwell and ran up two steps at a time.

"Boss! Didn't find anyone? "The person who talked to Dongfang Yan on the phone before was a man with a well-defined face, the man was not strong, and he didn't have any shelf, when he saw Dongfang Yan coming up, he raised his hand to help him.

"I was stopped by the security guards, and I came in late." Dongfang Yan glanced at the man, "Seventh Master, have you investigated anything?" ”

"This building originally lived in nine yin people, a few days ago Miss Ling Xuan supervised the send-off salute in, plus her enough to make up ten, now it has become a yin land, the elevator has also started to have problems a few days ago, and no technical fault has been found out for the time being, but the corridor has posted a notice to advise not to ride, and the neighbors are also reminding each other." The seventh master said as he walked.

Dongfang Yan thought for a while, and then asked, "Doesn't she know?" "If you stick it in that kind of place, the light bulb is broken again, and you won't notice it at night.

"You should know, but I see that she is holding a suitcase in her hand, which seems to be very heavy, and it may contain books."

"Is there anything else?" Dongfang Yan subconsciously felt that the seventh master had not finished speaking.

"In the past two days, a few old people have pooled money and invited several waves of people to exorcise ghosts and suppress evil spirits, but it has no effect." The seventh master said.

Dongfang Yan recalled the people he saw on the way and smiled: "There must be some people who cheat money again, most of the real capable people are in seclusion, and even if they are not in seclusion, they are not casually invited." ”

"The boss is right." The Seventh Master chimed in.

"On the way we came, we met a Taoist priest who seemed to come out of this community, and at first glance he was a third-rate warlock, and he didn't practice Taoism at all." Dongfang Yan nodded and took the headphones off and put them in his pocket.

"That's not a Taoist priest! Xianggong, you don't know you with a blind face, I remember clearly, that person often pretends to be a beggar near our shop, and occasionally pretends to be a master who goes down the mountain to pray for blessings; Once, I heard him keep calling different people, and without saying who he was, he repeatedly asked: It's me, can't you hear my voice? ”

"Dare is a generalist." Dongfang Yan sneered, raised his hand and motioned for the Seventh Master and his partner to stop, silenced. He looked up at the sticker on the floor, "The fifth floor is almost there, let's go over from this floor and wait next to the elevator." ”

The seventh master nodded and walked in front of Dongfang Yan.

"Xianggong...... She lives on the fifteenth floor. ”

"How can a human leg be as fast as an elevator?" Dongfang Yan smiled slightly, and left the stairwell behind the seventh master.

Ling Xuan didn't know that there were occasional problems with the elevator in this corridor, and a neighbor reminded her when she came a few days ago, saying that the floor would be inexplicably bright, but there had been no major accidents.

These books are so heavy that she broke her leg during the day between the department, the dormitory, and the school office, and now her calves are weak, and she doesn't care about whether she is haunted or not.
