Chapter 40 Safe Exits

Although Jiang Mian saw the sign that marked "Safety Exit" at the door of the stairwell, he was still a little puzzled, and then turned his head to look at Lin Sheng with a puzzled expression.

Lin Sheng stepped forward, stood on tiptoe and gently clicked at the position located in the lower right corner of the light sign.

Jiang Mian stepped forward to take a closer look.

In the lower right corner of the sign is a small work information indication area, on which are marked with three indicators of "fault", "main" and "charging". Since the indicated area is small and the brightness is weak, you won't notice it until you look closely.

At this moment, the indicator light marked "Charge" is emitting an extremely faint yellow light.

"This ...... Do you say ......"

Jiang Mian was suddenly a little incredulous.

Lin Sheng nodded:

"That's right, the building we're in now is not provided with power, and the power supply is cut off."

He turned to look out the window, and at the moment in the city in the middle of the night, except for the rows of street lamps everywhere, other light sources were very scarce, and it had entered the darkest stage of the day.

Lin Sheng turned around and continued:

"Before I got to the top, I actually had some vague guesses, and I kept thinking about it...... The ghost was obviously able to think, so since it knew that the location of the 'door' was in this building, why didn't it place even a single assimilated humanoid here in advance. ”

"It's not the right thing...... Judging by its previous purpose of approaching you through the identity of that ghost friend of yours, it is clear that it wants to continue this game with us for a long time, and win too soon...... Or if we escape, it will lose the fun of gambling to a large extent, and this 'game' is like a game for it......"

"On the way back, I was always thinking about why the ghost hated the dark, but still cut off all the power inside the building, leaving the whole building completely in a situation where there was no light source. Wouldn't it be more advantageous for it to turn on all the lights in the entire building? ”

"So I want to ......"

"It may have discovered that as soon as the power is cut off from this building, the game that is about to enter its final stage will take a turn for the worse for us......"

"Even on the surface, this will cause it to lose its greatest reliance—light."

"So what makes it want to give up its advantage and behave this way......"

"It must be that we will not be able to find the location of the 'door'."

"I've told you before that we need to find the commonalities of those employees who have committed suicide, like what they've done and where they've been."

"Because there is a high probability that the 'door' will be generated in those positions."

Lin Sheng took out a document from his arms, opened one of the pages and handed it to Jiang Mian, then stepped into the stairwell and walked down the stairs.

Walking on the stairs, Jiang Mian looked at the content shown above, which was a list of people in the company and their summary information, Lin Sheng ticked the names of some of the people on it, and marked a date, as if it was the information of the employees who had hanged and died that he had compiled by himself before this.

Jiang Mian couldn't help but look at the man who was walking in front at this time again.

I didn't even notice it...... When did he find this document, and he also made a lot of markings......

Did you find it when you searched the offices on each floor and got it handy?

Because he was too nervous before, Jiang Mian could only take into account the situation around him when searching.

At best, the extended senses were wary of humanoid figures coming out of nowhere, without ever considering whether they could get any other useful information from these offices.

Jiang Mian continued to look at the content that had been checked in the document, and then roughly combined the relevant information content in his mind.

Zhang Ningning, female, 27 years old, administration department, office on the 8th floor, date of death February 3;

Li Ming, male, 29 years old, strategic investment department, office on the 11th floor, date of death February 3;

Wen Shan, male, 32 years old, marketing department, office on the 9th floor, date of death February 4;

Kang Xuhui, male, 35 years old, audit department, office on the 13th floor, date of death February 4;

Du Xiao, female, 29 years old, legal department, office on the 14th floor, date of death February 5;

Yu Lan, female, 35 years old, customer service logistics department, office on the 12th floor, date of death February 6;

…………

The dense employee information made Jiang Mian roughly look through a few items and then did not continue to browse, although he knew this information, he still did not understand what Lin Sheng wanted to express, and after handing the document back to Lin Sheng, he still looked at the other party a little blankly.

"I didn't find common ground in all of this information, so what exactly did we ignore?"

Lin Sheng took it and continued to walk briskly downstairs: "We preconceived that their intersection point should be the canteen on the third floor, the large conference room, and the lecture hall, which most people will inevitably pass through in their work. ”

"But we didn't take it into account...... In the cafeteria, there may be people who are used to eating out or prefer takeout. ”

"In the big conference room, there may be people who aren't high-level and have never been to a large meeting that requires access there."

"In the lecture hall, there may be some of them who have never signed up for the relevant group activities, so that they have never touched that place."

"We overlooked one ...... Places they'll definitely all be. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Sheng turned his head and looked at Jiang Mian:

"You've also read the personnel list, do you need me to continue?"

Jiang Mian lowered his head slightly and thought for a while, and then suddenly realized:

"I see, their office area...... All on the upper floors of this building......"

Lin Sheng nodded.

There's only one place, and they've been absolutely all there.

That's ......

Lift.

Combined with the reality of the building's power being cut off, Jiang Mian's heart was suddenly shocked, and he immediately realized that the two of them were not only not lucky to have encountered any abnormal situation at present, but the biggest source of danger.

Because......

"So they cut off the power supply, because without electricity, we would never be able to open the elevator car door without outside assistance, naturally...... There is no way to find the location of the 'door'. ”

Lin Sheng said anxiously.

"It's me who ignored the hint in this incident."

"Because it was the same as what happened to me in the past, I subconsciously ignored your experience of being locked in the elevator...... Actually, that's probably a hint from the rules as well. ”

"I saw it when I was looking at the structure of the building before, so let's go to the second basement floor right away, where the power distribution room of this building is!"

Saying that, Lin Sheng turned back to look at Jiang Mian again:

"Be prepared...... The reason why the process we are going through so far is that there is no need to defend the upper floors of this building, because the 'door' is not at all within our reach, but in the basement...... Maybe it's not that simple. ”
