Chapter Seventy-Four: The Institute of Orbital Research

The road in Shanghai is very different from that of Sijiu City, there is rarely a straight road in the north and south, it is close to 12 o'clock in the evening, there are slightly more vehicles on the road after coming out of the Hongqiao traffic hub, but the road conditions after coming out are smooth all the way.

We traveled all the way in the direction of Zhabei and arrived at our destination in about 40 minutes.

The destination is from North Xizang Road∡ Zhongxing Road, and then onto a small road called Huiwen Road. And this time our destination is here.

The taxi stopped against a rather dilapidated street, after which the old cat Rhubarb got off them. It's the middle of the night, it's winter, and there's no one on the street.

Looking up, except for some 24-hour convenience stores that are still open all night long, as well as some express hotels, the rest have been turned off and rested.

I've long heard that there are 24-hour convenience stores everywhere in Shanghai, and there is one on almost every street corner, but I didn't believe it at first, but now it looks really right.

The old cat's lighter couldn't be brought on the plane, so it was suffocated along the way, and just now I borrowed fire from the master and smoked two cigarettes on the taxi. Now I got out of the car and hurried to the convenience store to buy an important good partner.

Perhaps because he was worried about encountering this embarrassing situation again, the old cat bought three or four lighters in one go, took out two of them with a smile, lit a cigarette with his left and right hands at the same time, and laughed while smoking: "Comfortable! ”

For the old cat, we are also deeply helpless.

However, Xiao Feng looked at the surrounding scene, but said with a smile: "I didn't expect that in such an ever-changing city as Shanghai, many things have not changed. ”

"Oh?" I hurriedly walked over and asked, "Is it still the same over here?" ”

Xiao Feng nodded: "I studied here until junior high school, and then I changed places when I went to high school, I thought I wouldn't know each other when I came back this time, but I didn't expect me to recognize ......."

I hurriedly asked, "Then where does your grandfather work......?" ”

Xiao Feng pointed to a very old, four-story small white building in the distance (the primary color is white. Now it's a little yellow), said: "It's there, there is the Rail Transit Research Institute, and my grandfather used to work here." ”

I hurriedly took the old cat and them, it was night, and it was more convenient for a few of us to sneak in quietly.

The only role of Xiao Feng becoming a living person is to facilitate directions, and now that she has successfully arrived at Xiao Feng's grandfather's research institute, she has no point in continuing to pretend to be a living person.

So Xiao Feng took off the Huanyang jade, turned into a powerful ghost again, and moved lightly towards the Orbital Research Institute with me.

The entrance of the research institute has been replaced with an electric retractable door, not to mention that this kind of door is not defenseless for ghosts, even for living people.

But the old cat and the rhubarb, they certainly won't be stupid enough to go straight to the front. They are well-informed, and it is easy for them to find a back door or a fence to climb through in an agency like this.

Xiao Feng and I walked first, and observed that there was only one old man guarding the door in the duty room of the research institute.

It's late now, and the uncle in the duty room has a blue curtain and a desk lamp, and there is a thunderous snoring inside.

Xiao Feng and I entered through the door, and the old man didn't notice it at all, except for the wind blowing the window when we passed by the duty room, we didn't leave any signs.

Entered the door. First, there is a yard for parking, and next to the yard is a very quaint office building, with a total of four floors, and the style is old.

At the end of the courtyard is another path, and the second office building is turned on.

This second office building is even shorter, with only three floors, and it was supposed to be green, but now the green has faded so badly that it looks a little pink......

The office building is smaller in size and height, so we can't see it when we stand outside. I saw that there were actually two office buildings here, and hurriedly asked Xiao Feng in a low voice: "Xiao Feng, which one did your grandfather work in before?" ”

Xiao Feng frowned and thought for a while: "I only came here twice when I was a child, so I really can't remember clearly......"

However, as I said this, I suddenly saw a very old bicycle shed downstairs in the second office building, and there were several bicycles in it that had obviously not been ridden in a long time.

When Xiao Feng saw this scene, he suddenly said: "It's this building, I remember that my grandfather used to ride a bicycle to take me to work when he was a child, and he got off from here and went upstairs directly." ”

It dawned on me that the three-story office building was the point.

After waiting in the yard for a long time, the old cat and Rhubarb were finally late, and I told them the location where Grandpa Xiaofeng worked, and everyone thought about it for a while and decided to go up and have a look first.

According to Kaede's description, his grandfather disappeared at his job. Moreover, the nature of Grandpa's work dictates that he himself travels a lot, so there may be more traces and useful information left in his workplace.

After deciding, Xiaofeng and I took the lead and walked slowly towards the green office building.

The office building is old, and the whole dΓ©cor and design are still decades old, and it's hard to believe that there is still such a style of architecture in the corner of such a cosmopolitan city.

At night, the door of the office building was blocked, and a heavy iron chain was hung from the door.

However, Xiao Feng and I can go in through the door, and then I open the window of the bathroom on the first floor and let the old cat and rhubarb go directly in.

The office building is clearly not well utilized, with the exception of a few large conference rooms that seem to be in regular use, the remaining rooms are mostly locked, and the doorknobs are dusted.

The four of us walked a few steps, and Rhubarb just felt that there was no one here, so he was about to relax and speak loudly, when the old cat suddenly pressed Rhubarb's face and lowered his voice to "shhhhhh

Rhubarb was startled by the old cat, and his eyes glared: "Old cat, you are sick!" ”

The old cat didn't quarrel with Rhubarb, but just stretched out his hand and pointed upstairs, and whispered, "Look at ......."

We followed the old cat's guidance and looked up along the corridor, but saw a faint dim light!

"Mom! Ghosts! Rhubarb lowered his voice and shouted desperately!

I couldn't help but slap the rhubarb on the head: "There are ghosts, you're afraid of a fart, aren't I a ghost?" ”

Rhubarb frowned and said, "Oops...... If you are familiar with me, I will not be afraid, in fact, what I am afraid of is not ghosts, but the unknown! ”

The old cat smiled and said: "It's quite philosophical, don't worry, it's not a ghost, and ghosts don't like to turn on the lights." ”

However, Xiao Feng said in a low voice: "But it doesn't make sense, the door on the first floor has been locked from the outside, if it's not a ghost, will the living lock the living?" ”

Rhubarb had a simple face: "Did someone forget to turn off the lights after work......"

"It's also possible." The old cat replied calmly.

But just then, all of a sudden, I saw that the lights upstairs had dimmed a little, which meant that someone or something had rushed past the lamp and blocked the light!

To put it simply, there are not only lights upstairs, but also a small thing moving!

"Dig a slot! Something is moving! Rhubarb looked nervous.

The old cat hurriedly grabbed the rhubarb and whispered, "Calm down, it looks like there is indeed something upstairs...... However, it is also possible that the voltage is unstable and the lights are flickering on and off. ”

Xiao Feng proposed at this time: "It's more convenient for me and Lin Yang to move, otherwise let's go up and have a look?" ”

The old cat hurriedly shook his head: "No, we don't know whether the guy above is a human or a ghost, it is very dangerous to act separately, from now on, we must act together." "The birds are dying.

Rhubarb also nodded in agreement: "Then do we go directly to the place where there are lights now, or sweep it up layer by layer?" ”

"There's nothing on the first floor, let's take a look at the second floor first, the light is from the third floor, if there is still no obvious important information on the second floor, then let's go up to the third floor." The old cat regulation said clearly.

Rhubarb nodded hurriedly: "That's it!" ”

The office building is very old, so there is no elevator at all, and the only way to the upper floor is the spiral staircase in the center.

We quickly went up the stairs to the second floor, but the impression on the second floor was: dead silence!
