……

The night was thick, and a silvery crescent moon in the sky shone a cold glow, but the color was obscured by the neon of the night.

When Su Bai was taking the Chenghuang exam, in the Delong Building in the other corner of the city.

There are a few strange guests in the security room on the second floor today.

In charge of duty this year is the security guard Lao Cui, who is in his early forties.

He yawned and sat on a plastic stool in the corner, wrestling his fingers boredly, glancing at the young man in uniform in front of the monitor with wireless headphones in his ears.

The man's eyes were glued to the screen without blinking, probably looking for something suspicious.

To say that he is quite familiar with this building, he has to visit the corners inside and outside several times a day, it is better to ask him directly if he has any questions.

But now he was ignored, and could only sit in the corner drinking tea, somewhat depressed.

It seems that there are several other people in the room who take turns resting, always on guard, as if some special forces are on a mission. As soon as he came, it took up most of his space, so he had to sit here and rest.

I heard from others that these people were invited by the boss at a great price to solve the supernatural events that appeared in the building.

From the very beginning, these people were dismantling the hard disk to adjust the monitoring, verify the data, and set up some infrared and ultraviolet equipment at the stairs of each entrance and exit that he couldn't understand, which made them mysterious and mysterious, making them particularly useless, as if they were dirt buns from the countryside, and they were really dissatisfied.

If you want him to say, eighty percent of these mysterious incidents are caused by a small company that has no money to pay rent.

It's just to deceive people, drive down the rent, and have a little respite.

"Phew, they're all stupid, they even believe this kind of thing, and they don't have any ghosts."

He's seen a lot of this kind of trick.

Those who owe money and do not pay it back, those who collect debts, check the junior ......

All kinds of lies come as soon as you open your mouth, without blinking an eyelid.

In these years, some people have resorted to all means for some interests.

What's more, he doesn't believe it anymore, he prides himself on knowing a little kung fu, and ordinary young people are not his opponents.

If any ghost dares to run in front of him to scare himself, he will knock on the door of his head with a stick to see if the ghost is hard or his stick is strong! Teach it how to be a ghost.

subconsciously touched the slinger on his waist, but he felt empty.

When I saw the stick in a white cardboard box on the ground next to the door, I vaguely remembered that it seemed to have been put away by these people.

There were also some other miscellaneous items in it, such as drinking glasses and glasses.

But now that there is someone to help him work, he is naturally happy to be idle, and it is not quite comfortable to rest here with his legs crossed.

"Jingle bell!"

The alarm clock on the table went off.

It's time to set a time to go on a regular patrol.

He subconsciously just wanted to get up, but when he saw those people directly pressing the alarm clock, he remembered that he didn't have to do it himself now, so he readjusted his comfortable posture and sat down.

Just then, the door to the security room was pushed open from the outside.

Several people in the room looked towards the door, and in came a beautiful woman who was also wearing a uniform and tied with a tall ponytail, and her figure was neatly dressed.

"Got a clue?"

She glanced at the few people in the room and nodded slightly: "I found the missing security guard's body recorder in the corner outside, although it is damaged, there should still be a stored video inside." ”

As she spoke, she reached out and placed a pen recorder on the table.

Lao Cui in the corner subconsciously glanced at it and couldn't help but gasp.

"Good ...... Is this being smashed? ”

I saw that the recorder, which was about the size of a thumb, was now almost torn apart, and the chips inside were exposed, as if something had run over it.

The security guards in the building are equipped with recorders, and he naturally knows that this thing is quite sturdy, and he has not seen any dents after falling several times.

It's hard to imagine how this could have happened!

The young man sitting at the table didn't seem surprised, he took it directly and completely removed the chip inside, and then after some tinkering left and right, he successfully connected to the computer.

And the chip does store several separate video recordings.

Without hesitation, click on it directly.

Lao Cui behind him also stared at the screen with his eyes wide open at this time, full of curiosity, wanting to see what happened to the missing colleague.

The picture quickly became clear after a slight blur, and the camera seemed to be hung on his chest, and only a man's rough beard could be seen, followed by a middle-aged man's voice that seemed to be a little lazy as if he had just woken up.

"Hey? Is there a sound? Well, start recording, today is May 6, 579 New Calendar, and the time is 11:30 p.m. ”

As he spoke, the camera shifted to the clock on the wall, confirming his words.

It can also be seen from the environment here, which is in the security room.

The clock on the wall is exactly the same except for the time.

It should have been a while ago

"I'm going to start my second patrol tonight, and I'm going to keep video footage for my superiors to check ......."

Lao Cui felt a little familiar when he heard the voice in the picture, as if it was often ringing around him, it must be someone he knew, but he couldn't remember which colleague it was for a while.

At this point, the screen continued to move, and he continued to stare at it, perhaps there would be some clues next.

After going out, the man walked very lazily, and the picture shook a little bit, probably because he had just drunk wine and his steps were not very steady.

But he still understands the basic rules, and every floor is checked at the point.

Including doors and windows, lights, air conditioners, etc., we will also check them by the way to avoid short circuits and fires in the wires.

This Delong building is a total of 16 floors, and it takes about an hour to patrol up and down.

If there are some companies that are still working during this period, then the time will be longer.

The video was also boring, but none of the people in the room had any intention of fast-forwarding, and they all watched it carefully little by little.

Lao Cui in the back yawned a little, after all, he would do the night patrol work every day when it was his turn, and he could walk down the route with his eyes closed.

But the real change is in the penultimate video footage.

That's when the man in the video has finished checking the building and is about to take the elevator back to the security room.

"Strange...... Why doesn't this elevator work......"

In the video, the man stretched out his hand and pressed the button of the elevator repeatedly, but no matter how he pressed it, the elevator always stopped on the first floor, as if someone was deliberately stuck and did not let him go.

"Damn, I've got to find someone to fix it tomorrow...... It's all said that they don't cut corners......"

The man cursed, and reluctantly turned and walked down the stairs beside him.

At that moment, the picture suddenly stopped.

Someone in the room whispered, "Step back from the progress bar...... There may be something wrong with this staircase! ”

"Hmm."

The young man nodded and pulled the video forward a bit, just in time to show what the stairs looked like in the view.

I saw that it was pitch black from the third staircase, and I couldn't see what was underneath at all, and the light overhead seemed to be cut off from the outside, which was useless......

"When you come up, it's fine, but when you go down, it's like this. The problem may be on this staircase! ”

Immediately, someone judged it like this.

The idea was well received by most of the people in the room.

It's a pity that the man in the video may have been drinking and didn't realize it.

When the play continued, the man grumbled as he continued to walk down the stairs.

As you go down the stairs, the screen becomes completely black, and you can't see anything.

In the darkness, only the muttering of men and the sound of empty feet on the stairs could be heard.

Every step is very steady, and there is no situation where you can't see it.

"Wait, this man doesn't seem to be affected, does it mean that only the electronic device has been affected?" Speculation has been raised.

"Possibly. According to experiments, when the yin energy of the ghost is strong to a certain extent, the electronic device will also be disturbed, and even produce some kind of abnormality that it cannot produce by itself. The other nodded.

Lao Cui behind him was a little speechless, how these people talked more and more, and all kinds of demons and monsters came out. He thinks it's just a problem with the recorder's camera.

He had encountered this old problem before, and it was useless to repair it, anyway, it would be automatically cured the next morning.

At this time, in the video, the man is still walking.

The sound of this staircase down the stairs was strangely unpaused, as if the man had been walking down, far beyond the normal length of the staircase, and they even wondered if it was stuck.

The inside of the picture is still eeriely dark, and there is no light.

It's just that suddenly, a second voice came from the video besides the footsteps, which shocked their spirits.

It's a woman's cry!

This cry is very miserable and desperate, floating intermittently from a distance, as if it is a cry after the death of someone in the family, sharp and weird, and it seems to be a mournful wail, which makes people listen to it a little creepy.

"In the middle of the night, how can there be women crying here......"

Maybe it's because the wine is strong, the man in the video has a slightly drunk voice, but his steps seem to be walking straight in the direction where the sound came from.

As the footsteps approached, so did the cry.

Several people in the room couldn't help but hold their breath.

They could all have predicted that the owner of this cry might be the source of the mutation, but they couldn't prevent this past catastrophe from happening.

Suddenly, the crying that was almost close to my ears stopped, along with the sound of the man's footsteps.

The dead darkness lasted for about a minute or two, and then, a woman's hoarse but seemingly hidden voice of extreme excitement suddenly came from the computer.

The voice was close, as if it was whispering in the ear: "You...... See me, right? ”

As soon as the voice came out, everyone couldn't help but get goosebumps, only to feel a chill coming out of their hearts.

It's a sense of fear in the face of the unknown!

And this video also flickered for a moment and then suddenly stopped, and the player automatically turned off.

"If this penultimate video proves that something happened to him, then what's the last video?"

The young man clicked on the last video.

At first, there was a bit of darkness in the picture, but unlike before, it seemed that the lens was only blocked by something opaque.

And here, the lens has begun to show signs of chipping, and even more than half of the upper right corner is broken.

It seems that it has suffered damage during the time it failed.

As the image shook slightly, the outside obscuration was removed, and they were able to see their surroundings.

"This is ......"

Several people looked a little stunned.

I didn't know when I returned to the door of the security room!

Subsequently, the recorder was suspected to have not been held steadily, fell to the ground, and after rolling twice, the lens that was about to blur the screen fell to the ground crookedly, and the angle could barely see the direction of the security room.

In the picture, the figure of a man in a security uniform appears.

But the whole person is a little transparent in the lens, and even his feet seem to have disappeared when he looks closely, and the whole person seems to be floating on the ground.

"I'm so tired from today's patrol, so it's better to go back and sleep lazily......"

The man didn't notice it, shook his head, and rubbed his shoulder.

And a side face that was inadvertently photographed made Lao Cui, who had been staring at the back, stunned.

"This ...... Isn't this me? ”

How could he not even recognize himself.

But he couldn't remember when it had happened to him!

And the "Lao Cui" in the picture walked towards the door of the security room step by step, opened the door with the key and walked in directly.

But the recorder's footage did not stop.

Several people in the room kept staring at the screen, and the door in the picture never opened after that, and it was firmly closed.

It wasn't until about half an hour later that another group of people broke into the frame, opened the door and walked in.

It's just that this scene made everyone stunned, and their expressions changed instantly.

Because these people are themselves!

In other words, the missing security guard was in the room all the time?!

Lao Cui in the corner looked sluggish, and looked at the people around him standing up and looking around the room with solemn expressions, and his expression was also a little frightened.

"I ...... I'm fine! Isn't that okay with me? ”

He danced and tried to prove himself, but then he realized that it was not these people who deliberately ignored him, but he couldn't see it at all.

Even when he was close, those people turned a blind eye.

"Can you see me?"

"Can you see me?"

"I'm right here! Can you see me? ”

His face was full of fear and despair as he walked in front of everyone in the room.

However, no one responded to him at all.

His expression gradually became resentful and terrifying, his trembling pupils gradually crawled with bloodshots, and he stared at everyone in the room with resentment: "Why do you pretend not to see me...... I'm right here......"
