In fact, Guan Tianxiang is very afraid of the dark.

Especially, in such an eerie atmosphere.

For a timid boy who didn't even want to turn off the lamp every night, this situation made Guan Tianxiang's heart beat even more. The previous killer games and ghost stories at least told Guan Tianxiang that it was a fake plot.

And now, although things are not frightening, they are enough to make Guan Tianxiang feel lost.

Obviously, there was no sound when he just rang the bell, why did Guan Tianxiang feel extremely uneasy?

"Now, I bet my doorbell isn't broken!" Jerry was standing on the wooden bench, puzzled and checking the sounder on the outer wall, "It's really big, the doorbell was bought by me for three hundred yuan on the fan network, how could such an expensive doorbell be broken?" ”

"If it's broken, won't you be a girl in this life?" Ah Mao said indifferently, while grabbing the curly hair on his head. Ah Mao, a rough and unkempt man, scratches that filthy mess every day, and really thinks he plans to dig out a treasure from it.

Jerry turned around and hesitated for a few seconds, "That's not what I said. ”

"Damn." Ah Mao smiled contemptuously, got carried away and stepped into the toilet, and closed the door.

Guan Tianxiang, who was in a state of turmoil, was trying his best to calm himself down, and he wanted to say something and work with everyone to solve the current predicament. First, in the wee hours of the morning, the elevator stopped working, and then the doorbell also failed. What's going on? What's at work?

Or is everything just an unfortunate coincidence, or a prank?

The prank of turning off the elevator, who will have the ability to try it?

I saw Shi Mi sitting on the ground, looking frantically at the photo of an Internet celebrity named Fabry in the forum. The common denominator of the photos is that a macho man is the protagonist, and anyone in front of him is a humble foil.

Guan Tianxiang turned his gaze to Kenny, who frowned, and he fell on the sofa, looking very helpless: "It's miserable, my mother must be worried about me." ”

Kenny has always been a well-behaved child, but because of his parents or sister's discipline, Guan Tianxiang has barely seen him rebel half a time, nor has he seen him scolded in class.

On the contrary, Guan Tianxiang didn't have time to pay attention to his mother at home, maybe she was worried about Guan Tianxiang, but Guan Tianxiang didn't think about it.

If Guan Tianxiang were to cite one of his own merits, or Guan Tianxiang would have to spend an afternoon to give a reasonable answer.

Cedar put his arm on Kenny's arm, looking relaxed: "What's the matter, then you should call home quickly." ”

"I'm afraid to wake up my family." Kenny pulls out his phone, but quickly puts it back away, unsettled.

Suddenly, Mei Tao's words came from behind Guan Tianxiang: "Capture the track of rationality......"

That was Mei Tao's mantra. Did he think of something again?

Guan Tianxiang will never be able to understand what others are thinking, especially Mei Tao, a ghost. He was the champion of the Asian Junior High School Students' Go Competition, and his science scores were higher than those of the same level. Although Guan Tianxiang's famous teachers are among the middle and upper ranks, they are only an ordinary middle school, and they are definitely not worthy of Mei Tao, a ghost, and his classmates often ask him if he regrets choosing this school.

Everyone always has their own past, hidden in the depths of their chest. Guan Tianxiang is like this, and so are you.

Guan Tianxiang looked up at the dark ceiling, if they hadn't turned off the lights, the environment inside the house wouldn't be so gloomy.

"Damn!" Ah Mao ran out of the toilet, grabbing his hair irritably, "There is no water in the toilet?" ”

What? They were in a state of chaos. Jerry jumped off the wooden bench, as if fed up with all the absurdities: "What's the matter?" ”

"There's no water to flush the toilet, and there's no water to wash your hands." Ah Mao pointed to the half-open wooden door of the toilet and said with raised eyebrows.

"What the hell?" The cedar trees spun in circles.

How can unfortunate things happen in a row?

What's going on here?

Suddenly, the door opened. This time it's Mei Tao again.

I saw him sigh, still flexing his left ring finger: "Why were we so careless just now?" ”

Everyone stared at Mei Tao who was holding the door and looked at him incomprehensibly.

Yes, the lights in the elevator lobby were turned off, but they were only now aware of the vision. This is because there are no lights in the house, and there is no reaction when I see no strong light in the lobby.

If it weren't for an old-fashioned window installed next to the lobby wall to let in natural light, they would have barely been able to see the elevator opening. He looked out and saw that the ceiling of the lobby had an old-fashioned strip of light that was on when they entered Jerry's house.

"Power and water outages? How so! Cedar screamed, and Kenny, with his piercing voice, covered his ears with his hands.

Mei Tao closed the door, as if he had finally opened the ancient lock that could not be unlocked for thousands of years, and deliberated with satisfaction: "This can explain why the elevator will stop working, the doorbell will fail, the toilet will have no water, and the corridor will not turn on the light." ”

"Kind of makes sense." Shi Mi finished reading the last photo of Fabry.

"So the elevator isn't a repair?" Jerry opened the refrigerator and couldn't help but be stunned. "Isn't it not ice?" Mei Tao also found a place on the couch and sat down next to Kenny, his ring finger ready to move.

"Damn, the fridge is out of power, my blue girl......" Jerry took out the last bottle of beer, obviously not frozen.

"So many things are speculation that proves that there has just been a power outage and a water outage." Mei Tao held his cheeks and suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, "Why don't you think about it, why did these things happen?" ”

"Because of the fuck." Mao was grunting.

"First of all, the management office only informed me that the elevator would be repaired, and did not say that there would be water and power outages." Jerry drank the already hot blue girl and said with certainty. On a hot summer day, most people's shirts are sweaty.

Shanmu finally calmed down at this time and joined the discussion: "Now, according to my experience, if the management office of any building wants to stop supplying water, electricity and gas, it must notify all owners in advance, otherwise, it will cause inconvenience to the owners, and the owners have the right to complain to them, so what about ......it?"

Shanmu can be said to be an encyclopedia, he has a wealth of knowledge alone, and Guan Tianxiang believes that what he says, if not authoritative, has a certain credibility.

"So, this time I don't think it's man-made, it's an accident." Mei Tao interrupted Shanmu's words, and Shanmu complained a little unhappily.

"Accidents? I'm so scared. Kenny was holding the Monsters doll next to him.

Damn, Guan Tianxiang hates dolls the most.

"The accident I'm referring to doesn't have to be something lethal, it may just be a power outage in the whole district, or maybe there was a problem with this building alone." Mei Tao calmly scrutinized, and his ring finger was finally put away. He quickly pulled out an A4 piece of white paper from his pocket, along with a Muji pencil.

"Wow, you have all the paper with you." Shi Mi couldn't believe his eyes.

"I like it." Mei Tao has always liked to think about complex things, so he writes down the details on a blank sheet of paper to facilitate organizational thinking. What a weirdo.

Mei Tao wrote on the paper: "First of all, what time do we take the elevator?" ”

"22:23." Guan Tianxiang opened his mouth rarely, because Guan Tianxiang happened to be looking at his watch at that time. Mei Tao wrote something on A4 paper: "At that time, the elevator was operating normally, and then I don't know why, at about 2 o'clock, we found that the elevator stopped, and there was only one elevator in this building." And then ...... Go turn on that light. As soon as Mei Tao said, Shanmu stepped forward, pressed the key to open the door, and sighed in surprise: "It still can't be opened!" ”

Mei Tao nodded, with no surprise on his face, and wrote: "And we have been turning off the lights since 12 o'clock in the morning and listening to the ghost stories told by Cedar, so we didn't notice anything unusual until Kenny left." ”

Suddenly, Shanmu pounced, grabbed the hands of Jerry and Ah Mao, and shook violently in a panicked manner: "It's none of my business!" You don't doubt me, do you? ”

"Damn, stop playing." Ah Mao pushed the fir away. The cedar fell to the ground with an "ah".

Mei Tao continued to analyze: "Kenny left at 2 o'clock, so the whole thing happened in the two hours between 12 o'clock and 2 o'clock......"

"Hey, what won't happen if the water and electricity are cut off, let's sit for a while, wait until daylight, and then take the elevator down." Jerry tried his best to pretend that he didn't care, but he was visibly restless.

Ah Mao complained again at this time: "Fuck, I'm going home at 3 o'clock, I want to see the "Sixi Family", and I can't see it here." ”

"Now that the power is out, how do you go, take the stairs on the 22nd floor?" Shi Mi's words made Ah Mao speechless, and he could only stare at Shi Mi angrily in protest.

Jerry drank his beer: "Okay, I'll go to the lobby to see what's going on, you guys are waiting here, don't go around!" Before they could react, he put on MK's flamboyant black high leather shoes, opened the door, and headed straight out.

They were stunned for a moment, and then Cedar broke the silence first: "Jerry, ...... Running the 22nd floor stairs? ”

"Jerry, the MMA champion is here, it's not a problem to run half the world, you're stupid." Shi Mi said loudly, in fact, he also felt incredulous.

Jerry is really a brave person, and he takes the lead in the face of any trouble, and he is full of righteousness. At Jerry's speed, it shouldn't take more than ten minutes to run the 22nd floor stairs back and forth.

"No wonder Jerry has so many girlfriends......" Guan Tianxiang thought to himself, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

"Damn, what's going on there?" It was the shouting of the cedar tree, and Guan Tianxiang looked in the direction he was facing and saw something outside the window.

It's believed to have been around for a while, but they didn't notice it just now.

Guan Tianxiang couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, his mouth stammered, and his whole body was covered with goosebumps.
