Chapter 5: The Door That Can't Be Opened

The door to the stairwell was closed.

Is it the wind blowing? Or did you just come over and bump into it?

Chen Xi hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to pull the door open, but no matter how hard he tried, the door couldn't be opened, as if it had been welded to the wall.

He grasped the handle of the door with both hands, kicked one foot against the wall beside him, and pulled hard a few more times with the force of his backkick, but the door still did not move.

"Damn, why are you so evil."

At this moment, he was a little panicked, kicked the door twice, and then looked back behind him, fortunately, the light was still on.

"Go upstairs."

He hurried up the stairs. But when he ran upstairs, the door still wouldn't open.

He continued to run upstairs without giving up, running several floors in a row, and the doors on each floor seemed to be welded, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open them.

At this time, Chen Xi was already in a cold sweat, not because he was running too fast, but because this strange scene made him a little flustered and afraid.

"Anyone? Is anyone there? Help open the door. ”

He banged the stairwell door, shouting loudly, but no response was received, and the echo from the hallway made him feel even more terrifying.

"Go to the lobby and find the security guard!"

After thinking about it, he turned around and quickly ran downstairs.

When he was about to run to the next floor, he suddenly saw a boxy lottery ticket lying at the corner of the stairs.

The moment he saw the lottery ticket, he stopped, reached out and touched the right pocket of his clothes, and the lottery ticket he had just picked up was loaded into it by him, and it is still lying there quietly.

He reached out and touched the inside pocket, where there was the winning ticket he picked up yesterday, and it was still there.

He was sure it wasn't a coincidence, but he couldn't tell what it was. He looked at the lottery ticket on the ground, his eyes full of horror, he took two steps against the wall, and then sped up and ran downstairs again.

But when he ran around the corner again, there was still a boxy lottery ticket lying there, waiting for him quietly.

All of a sudden, Chen Xi felt his heart beat to his throat, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, he felt a little out of breath, and his hands and back were only against the wall behind him.

He went crazy and took out the two lottery tickets from his coat pocket and threw them on the ground, and quickly ran downstairs again. But on every floor he passed, around the corner there was a boxy lottery ticket lying quietly, as if it had been waiting for him.

He ran faster and faster, and every time he passed around a corner, he strode over without looking at the ground.

Slowly coming back to his senses, he noticed something was wrong.

Their office is on the 21st floor, and the 15th and 30th floors of the building are refuge floors, and the stairwell on the refuge floor is discontinuous, so it stands to reason that going down from the stairwell should pass through a large flat floor, and if you want to go to the next floor, you need to go through the flat floor and continue from the stairwell on the other side.

But now, he has run more than a dozen floors in a row, even if he added the few floors he climbed up at the beginning, he should have already passed the refuge floor, but he has been going down the stairs continuously, and he has not passed any flat floors at all.

Just as he was distracted, he stumbled under his feet and didn't step steadily, Chen Xi rolled down the stairs and hit the wall around the corner.

Fortunately, he was not a few steps away from the corner when he fell, so he didn't suffer any injuries, just twisted his foot.

Ignoring the pain in his feet, Chen Xi hurriedly looked up, it was the location of the stairwell marking the number of floors, and he saw a number marked in black on a white background.

21。

At this moment, he felt that his head couldn't turn a little, and his whole body seemed to be electrocuted, and his whole body was scratched.

Just as he stared at the numbers on the wall with wide eyes and didn't react, the lights in the stairwell went out all at once, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness.

"Ahh

Like a frightened rabbit, the sudden darkness made Chen Xi a little broken, and he couldn't control his scream, and then suddenly jumped up and turned around and banged on the door of the stairwell.

Through a small piece of glass on the door, Chen Xi could see that the corridor outside was lit with a faint light, but there was no one, he did not give up while banging on the door, and tried hard to pull the door open, but everything was in vain, the door still did not move, let him drag it as he wanted.

His cries for help were also like a sea of stones, and there was no response.

"Bang!"

Just as he banged the door for help, there was a loud bang behind him, as if something had fallen hard.

The loud noise made Chen Xi stop the movement of his hands, his body stiffened, and his teeth chattered. He swallowed hard and turned away tremblingly.

Through the faint light shining through the glass behind him, Chen Xi saw that there was a strangely shaped black shadow on the ground in front of him, and above the black shadow, there were two white beads. It was exactly the same as the whites of his eyes that lingered in his mind.

Fear spread uncontrollably like a wild horse, his feet suddenly lost his strength, Chen Xi slowly fell to the ground against the door behind him, he couldn't think anymore, his mind was blank, and he even forgot how to breathe, his chest kept rising and falling, but he felt that he couldn't breathe oxygen, his eyes stared uncontrollably at the dark figure in front of him, and the whites of his eyes staring at him tightly.

"Click~Click~Click~Click"

I don't know how long later, a crisp sound sounded in the hallway, a bit like the sound of wood breaking.

With the sound, the black shadow in front of Chen Xi suddenly moved, and the whites of his eyes also turned around, but he was still staring at Chen Xi.

"Smack!"

Suddenly, a vague pillar stood up in front of the black shadow to the left, followed by a second, a third, and a fourth.

Four pillars of varying lengths were erected in four different directions, trying to support the dark shadow to its feet.

Chen Xi only reacted at this time, and the one on the ground in front of him was the corpse he saw yesterday, and those pillars were his limbs.

Maybe it was the re-stimulation of fear, or maybe it was the instinct to survive, Chen Xi instantly regained the perception of his body, looking at the strange squirming corpse in front of him and trying to get up, there was only one thought left in his mind: run.

Relying on the support of his hands, Chen Xi hurriedly got up from the ground, and then didn't look back, and ran up the stairs to the stairs, he didn't dare to turn back, or even shout, so he could only run upstairs desperately.
