Chapter 1: Anomaly

Next Chapter

At this moment, for a well-known white-collar worker in the company, his heart is broken. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Damn, there are thousands of employees up and down in the company, so it's their turn. Zhang Chen couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he still didn't stop his steps. He understands the temper of his boss, who is a workaholic with a critical eye to the point of nitpicking. The last fatal mistake in the previous project had put Zhang Chen's work in jeopardy, and he was in danger of being fired at any time. People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads!

Thinking sadly in his heart, Zhang Chen walked into the company's elevator. In the next second, the bridge of his nose moved slightly, he took a sharp breath, showed a disgusted expression, and said to himself:

"What smells so bad, is something rotten?"

The air was filled with a strong sour smell, like rotten rotten meat. Zhang Chen looked left and right, but did not find any suspicious signs, and the entire elevator was empty except for him. In desperation, he had no choice but to frown, endure the disgust caused by the fishy smell, and reached out to press the floor of the elevator.

"Hey, something doesn't seem right!"

For the elevator buttons have long been clear to his chest, his fingers touched the cold steel plate, and the expected concave and convex feeling of the buttons did not appear, Zhang Chen subconsciously looked at it, and couldn't help but be shocked into a cold sweat. The button that was supposed to be marked 1234 Arabic disappeared out of thin air, and it was bare, with no floor options, no on/off buttons, not even the bare minimum emergency number.

Zhang Chen was anxious, today is the weekend, and there is no one in the company. Suddenly, this situation happened, but once the mobile phone has no signal, it is really called the heavens and the earth.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen hurriedly took out his mobile phone from his pocket, fortunately, although the signal was weak, he was barely able to make a call. He hurriedly dialed his boss's phone, and there was a beeping sound on the other end of the phone, which was stretched for a long time in the empty elevator.

Pick it up, pick it up for me!

Zhang Chen kept praying in his heart, and he faintly realized that something was wrong, the smell of rot around him, and the strange elevator facilities. The scene at this moment is very similar to some horror scenes in horror movies: the protagonist comes to work alone at the company on the weekend, the elevator fails, and then the protagonist dies mysteriously in the elevator due to various supernatural phenomena!

Although he is in his early twenties, his bloody age, and the level of his undergraduate graduation, he will definitely not believe in the so-called supernatural events. However, if a person is isolated in an unknown environment for a long time and cannot communicate, he will inevitably have fear and rejection of the status quo and want to escape as soon as possible.

Calls went unanswered, and the air was suffocating. Zhang Chen's hand holding the phone began to tremble slightly, his forehead was soaked with sweat, he didn't know what would happen next, the smell of rot in the air was actually a poisonous gas, which tortured him to death in the next time, or did the elevator door suddenly open and a female ghost with her hair dragged to the ground walked in from outside, similar to the hideous laughter depicted in the novel, staring at him with rolled eyes?

"Hey, hello! Who is it? ”

Just as Zhang Chen was thinking wildly, the familiar voice of his boss came from the other end of the phone. He immediately grabbed a life-saving straw and told a series of situations in which he was trapped in the company. During this period, because he was too excited, Zhang Chen seemed a little incoherent when he spoke several times.

"That's the way it is, in short, minister, you hurry up and find Xiao Liu and let him come and have a look! I've been in the elevator for more than ten minutes, and if I keep going like this, I'm going ..... crazy! Zhang Chen's voice trembled, and his tone was urgent.

"Oh, it's Xiao Zhang. Don't worry, I'll call him later. Before I do that, I have a question for you. On the big weekend, the employees are on vacation, why do you go to the office building alone? Positive isn't as positive as you, right? On the other end of the line, there was a suspicious inquiry from the boss.

Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Didn't you ask me to work overtime?" Just last night, you said that your performance has been busy recently, so I asked me to work overtime in the company the next day, did you forget? ”

Who knows if the boss is also confused when he hears it, "When will I call you!" I spent the whole day with my wife and children yesterday, and I didn't have my phone with me at all. Besides, the company terms clearly state that employees are not allowed to work overtime without permission, are you mistaken? In his words, he was quite dissatisfied because of Zhang Chen's nonsense.

Zhang Chen buzzed in his head as soon as he heard it, yes, when he received this call last night, he was a little surprised by the company's unprecedented overtime. But this was the boss speaking in person, and Zhang Chen was embarrassed to refuse. Even so, he still firmly believes that it is the voice of his boss, and it is true. But when it came to the confrontation now, why didn't he admit it?

Just when Zhang Chen wanted to take a closer step to explain, the expression on his face froze. Without any warning, the screen in the upper right corner of the elevator showing the floor suddenly had a downward red arrow, different from the general elevator, the color of this arrow is extremely bright, giving people a bloody and weird feeling.

Subsequently, there was a deafening sound of metal friction outside the entire elevator, and there was a faint sound of the rope breaking, and in the next second, Zhang Chen only felt that his body was light, the whole person lost his balance, the mobile phone fell to the side, and the panic caused by the strong weightlessness made him almost want to die suddenly. The only thing that can depict the speed of the elevator as it falls is the blood-red numbers that flash quickly on the pitch-black screen:

1、0、-1、-2、-3……

The elevator fell down like a cannonball, and Zhang Chen spread his legs and lay on the ground, trying to maintain the balance of his body. At the same time, a pair of frightened eyes stared at the rapidly changing numbers on the screen. He didn't know where this elevator was going to take him, maybe to the center of the earth, maybe to hell!

However, at least one thing is certain, a fall from a height of dozens of stories at a speed close to the acceleration of gravity has almost no chance of survival.

Fear, doubt, struggle, luck....all complex emotions poured into Zhang Chen's mind at the same time. In the face of knowing death, all struggles and contradictions seem insignificant, and all doubts and ignorance cannot withstand the slightest desire to survive.

Zhang Chen is afraid of death, especially if he dies in an unknown field like this. A trace of unwillingness flashed in his heart, but it was quickly covered by the ensuing panic.

The speed of the elevator gradually flattened as it approached the -39th floor, and the number change slowed down a lot. Zhang Chen came back to his senses from his near-death feelings, not knowing whether he was happy or heavy. In his eyes, everything that is happening so far is extremely weird:

The elevator that descends automatically, the underworld below the company, and the levels marked with a minus sign. If it is true that it has reached a depth of -40 floors, then where exactly is this? And who built such a tunnel that went straight to the ground? What is his purpose?

The mobile phone returned to Zhang Chen's hand, and there was no signal on it. He stood up, staring intently at the blood-red numbers on the screen that changed more and more slowly, and finally slowly stopped at -50, and swallowed.

"Bang-" A faint metal pulling sound sounded in front of him, and the elevator door opened automatically, revealing a different world outside the elevator, which also made Zhang Chen, who had been in a difficult mood for a long time, fall into the turbulent waves again.

"This is..."

I looked in disbelief at the rows of desks stacked with papers, the dim lights that glowed brightly, and the old desktop computers...... Isn't this where you go to work?

Zhang Chen subconsciously stepped out of the elevator and came to the nearest desk. He glanced at the neatly arranged items on the table, and suddenly, as if electrocuted, his dark pupils gradually dilated, his eyes stayed on the family photo next to the computer, and he muttered to himself:

"Don, how is it possible....what the hell is going on?"

Xiao Tang is Zhang Chen's colleague, and since his photo appears here, there is no doubt that this is Zhang Chen's 9-to-5, busy office.

And, for some reason, it appeared here, an endless abyss far from the ground.

There was no one around, the hanging lights were half-hung and flickering, the air was gray, and the visibility was no more than ten meters, giving people an eerie and secluded feeling. Strangely, the stench of rotting flesh similar to that in the elevator can be smelled everywhere here, which reminds Zhang Chen of something bad.

Courageously took a few steps forward, and Zhang Chen's heart rose to the tip of his throat. In the quiet and terrifying scene around him, any unusual noise was enough to send chills down Zhang Chen's back, who was highly nervously crumbled.

"Zhang Chen?"

A surprised voice sounded from behind Zhang Chen, his whole body was excited, and when he turned around, he saw Tang Peng's bulging head poking out from under the desk, looking at him innocently.

At this time, Zhang Chen was very frightened, recognized it as Tang Peng, and immediately scolded:

"I'm going to die, pretending to be a ghost in broad daylight!"

Tang Peng also stood up and said with an innocent face: "Didn't I just call you, it's because you're too nervous!" ”

Zhang Chen rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said viciously:

"If you want to shout, stand up and shout, hide there and sneakily show your head, if it weren't for my strong ability to bear it in my heart, I would have been scared out of heart by you!" Suddenly there were some doubts, the desk where Tang Peng was located was not his own, so what was he doing squatting there?

Tang Peng seemed to see Zhang Chen's doubts, waved the USB flash drive in his hand at him, and explained helplessly:

"Li Mingming, this bastard, just won my money and called me at will, last time it was a document, this time it's a USB flash drive, damn, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have taken the elevator to this hellish place. At first, I thought it was just a bit like our office, but when I looked closely at my desk, I was sure that this was the real office. Then, I found this USB flash drive on Li Mingming's desk, the location is exactly the same as he described, it's really evil......"

"So, you also took the elevator down to the -50th floor?" Zhang Chen was a little incredulous.

"Yes, I almost didn't fall to my death in the elevator, gravitational acceleration, this is not a fate!" Tang Peng said, walking towards Zhang Chen with a sad face, "I'll tell you, I ...... it."

In the middle of his words, a vicious wolf with blood-red hair suddenly appeared under the desk closest to him, leaping up like lightning, and its sharp fangs released a chill, and before the former was caught off guard, he bit Tang Peng's neck.

All this happened too fast, and by the time Zhang Shen reacted, Tang Peng's neck had almost been bitten through, blood continued to flow out of his mouth and neck, his whole body was convulsing and spasming, his body was thrown around by the snow wolf like a page, his pupils began to dilate, scattered, blood flowed down the floor under Zhang Chen's feet, and the bright red stimulation made him wake up from the fear from the heart.

Tang Peng is dead!

This was the answer given by Zhang Chen's trembling limbs, and fear made him lose all movements, even if it was the easiest escape. Seeing the blood wolf wantonly tearing and biting Tang Peng, who fell to the ground and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, from his limbs to his internal organs, until it turned into rotten meat lying in a pool of blood that could no longer identify what kind of animal corpse it was, and when the well-fed blood wolf let out a loud roar and was staring at him with a pair of greedy eyes, Zhang Chen realized his nightmarish situation.

He tried not to look at the eyes of the snow wolf, it was so terrifying, not only was it much bigger than the average wild wolf, but the hair on its whole body was scarlet as if it had been watered with blood. He took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in his heart, turned as fast as he could, and ran towards the depths of the office.
