Liwan Plaza is divided into the main body of the circular square field, the north tower and the south tower. The north tower is a little more deserted near Longnan Road, mainly dealing in jade and clothing.

Near the south tower is the famous Shanghe Road Jade Street, a place very popular with foreigners, followed by the north tower there is also a Liwan bowling alley, as well as a well-known luxury hotel in Suicheng - Kowloon Hotel.

The plaza has up to 40 floors, with shops below the sixth floor and luxury residences above the sixth floor.

However, due to the frequent suicides, homicides and other accidents in the vicinity, most of the residents have moved out of this area, coupled with the rapid development of Suicheng Tianhu District and New District, the customers who originally belonged to Liwan Plaza have been gradually diluted.

Now it's rainstorm week, and the mall is empty, with no operators and no customers, only Lu You, a group of poor people who have been kidnapped here for some reason.

"Officer Xie, what do you think we should do?"

After reviewing the map in the lobby of the Circular Plaza, the three of them began to walk towards the main control room located in the South Tower.

The mall was eerily silent, and there was no sound except for the footsteps and echoes of the trio.

"We have to find a way to escape, it's raining so hard, if we flood here, we'll all be doomed."

Xie Changming led the girl while pointing to the fire escape sign, signaling Lu You to follow him.

"Little sister, what's your name?" Xie Changming asked the girl who was hugging him tightly.

At that moment, the mall's PA system spoke again.

"The three teams of assistant commissioners, Fang Chang, have been killed because they escaped from the game without permission. Please don't make the same mistake and concentrate on the case. ”

"So unreasonable?" Lu You wondered.

Xie Changming clenched his fists and said indignantly:

"They're ignoring the law!"

The girl, who was already nervous, was frightened again, squatted on the ground and sobbed quietly.

"When Lao Tzu goes out, he will definitely catch them all! Not a single one to stay! ”

"Big brother, but we can't get out."

Lu You took out his mobile phone and showed Xie Changming the three words "no signal" on the screen.

"They blocked the cell phone signal."

"By the way, Officer Xie, didn't you bring a walkie-talkie or something? Try contacting your colleagues and asking them to come and save us. ”

Xie Changming picked up the girl and wiped his tears for him.

"I brought a walkie-talkie and hid it in CocoTak's bag, and I'll try to contact the outside when I get back."

Then he looked down at the girl.

"My name is Xie Changming, I'm a policeman, don't be afraid, I will protect you. What is your name? Why come here? ”

"Woo... My name is Qin Su, I am studying in Suicheng, and I was forcibly pulled by my best friend. As a result, she went home first during the party, leaving me alone here, woo-woo-woo. ”

"Don't be afraid, you'll be fine with me."

was invisibly stuffed with a handful of dog food, and Lu You applauded.

"Can we go and pull the switch open first? And then you guys talk? Lu You urged.

"Okay, keep walking, you lead the way."

Lu You left the corridor to the fire escape and looked for the direction of the emergency freight elevator in the South Tower in his mind.

The map of the mall clearly states that the motor of the emergency freight elevator is shared with the motor in the basement and should not have been damaged by the storm.

The general control room is not far from the exit of the South Tower freight elevator, and you can take the emergency freight elevator to avoid walking a lot.

It was already six or seven o'clock in the morning, and the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, but after all, it was morning, and it was still a little bright.

A faint light shone in through the hallway windows, allowing them to see the road ahead even without flashing lights.

Lu You suddenly stopped his pace, quickly interrupted Xie Changming who was about to ask a question with a gesture, and then turned off the flash and pointed forward.

Far ahead, at the entrance of the freight elevator, there was a tall black shadow!

The black shadow is about two meters tall, full of muscles, with an extremely wide shoulder distance, and its silhouette is very similar to the giant Tru in "The Adventures of Jackie Chan".

Its nails – or perhaps the fingers themselves! Extending from the crotch to the ground, the phalanges protrude violently, and the number of joints is far more than that of normal humans.

Although the darkness makes it impossible to observe the details of its body with the naked eye, anyone who looks at it can understand that this thing is not human!

Lu You suddenly felt that this figure was very familiar, a bit like... The ghoul who attacked him in the cemetery in the western suburbs!

"What's that?" Xie Changming asked in a low voice.

"A kind of monster called a ghoul."

"How do you know?"

"I've encountered it before, and I've almost been killed by this thing."

"Now we can't get by, let's go back and find another way, to take the stairs or the escalator that is out of service."

"By the way, try to walk lightly and reduce your breathing rate, that thing can find people by breathing."

The three of them turned back with their hands and feet, preparing to leave the corridor.

"Ahem... Ahem, ahem. Qin Su suddenly coughed violently.

At the same time, the ghoul's head turned rapidly, and no one could see its face in the darkness, but its eyes that emitted a faint green light undoubtedly told everyone: I saw you, and you were gone.

"Run, run!"

Lu You shouted, and then ran wildly, followed by Xie Changming and Qin Su.

"Run! Run separately, don't hug each other! ”

The ghoul was obviously much faster than everyone else, and it rushed up and knocked down Lu You, its sharp nails stabbing at Lu You's face.

Lu You tried his best to hold on to his nails and not let it move on.

The nails were as sharp as knives, and they were poked through the door by this thing, and they died on the spot.

Taking the opportunity of close contact, Lu You saw the face of the ghoul clearly, this face he had an impression of, it seemed to be one of the people who played the four-corner game in the party.

That's right, the ID is square length! It's the poor worm that just got killed!

But how did you become a monster and get here? I really can't figure it out, is it the ghost of the masked man again?

"Come~help~help~ah!"

Xie Changming ran back when he heard the sound, and when he saw Lu You entangled with the monster, he couldn't help but immediately rush forward, kicked the monster off Lu You's body, and then pulled Lu You up, turned around and ran.

"It's square length."

Due to physiological problems, the kicked monster can't get up for the time being, and can only roll left and right like a crab in an overturned car, trying to stand up.

"Fang Chang? The one who was just reported? ”

"yes, those guys don't know how to turn him into this thing."

Xie Changming gritted his teeth, secretly saying that he didn't know why there were such a big underworld forces in his jurisdiction.

Having received an atheistic education since childhood, he would find it difficult to accept it for a while, so he asked:

"Is that thing still human, has it been transformed?"

"Don't think about it, it's not within the scope of modern science, I'll explain it to you later."

The two found Qin Su, who had run away, and ran out of the corridor with her, pulling down the fire shutter door.

Lu You sat down against the wall, panting heavily.
