All along, from the beginning of the power outage, water and network outage, they have been bent on redemption and rescue them from strange dangers, no matter what the identity of the rescuer is. However, it backfired, and there was no result. No fire trucks, no police cars, just thrilling fears.

And for such a long time, if there was really an accident in the building, the Bay Area government should have sent rescue troops, even the Flying Tigers, to save them.

For so long, there was no sign of external rescue, and Guan Tianxiang had even given up hope of escaping the building.

However, at this moment, the alarm sound of the fire truck came from the window of the elevator lobby, and years of auditory experience told Guan Tianxiang that it was really the sound of a fire truck.

At that time, under the shroud of helplessness and fear, such an ordinary sound made Guan Tianxiang immediately reach a state of surprise, and the others did the same, cheering.

Ah Mao ran to the window with a surging heart, as if he wanted to vent all the fears he had experienced in the past, he ran to the ventilation window of the elevator lobby, but suddenly stopped.

"I can't see anything...... Depend on. Ah Mao smiled wryly at the thick gray fog outside the window.

"If so, are we saved?" Elsie smiled and stared at Mei Tao, who was flicking her ring finger, her yellow pajama dress was stained with a lot of blood and filth.

Mei Tao was silent, staring at the elevator door, looking indifferent, and he still maintained his usual cold image when everyone was ecstatic.

Is it because he is emotionally insensitive, or does he have worries that they don't know?

At this moment, Guan Tianxiang's eyebrows fluttered and he fantasized that everything was about to end, they would be rescued, and then he could go back to the house and take a nap, and then read a hundred sets of comics, and then ...... And then......

Then the sound of the fire engine faded away.

Everyone's ecstatic expressions suddenly sank to the bottom of the sea.

Even with Mei Tao's analytical ability, they are puzzled by the mysterious mansion in the fog, and they can only make unprovable guesses about the space outside the window.

"Don't worry, the sirens have stopped, or because the car has stopped." Mei Tao lifted her glasses, and the corners of her mouth raised that exaggerated smile.

"Damn, you can still laugh ......." Ah Mao smiled dryly, maybe Mei Tao's words were just from Guan Tianxiang's comfort.

However, when the fire truck stops, there is no need to make noise, so it is customary to turn off the annoying siren sound.

If this is the case, then the fire engine should have reached the side of the road in their building.

Mei Tao put aside his exaggerated smile and said, "There should have been someone outside to save us." ”

A long-lost smile appeared on everyone's faces, a sincere smile.

Perhaps, the horror here is just a dream, or a false alarm, the elevator is simply out of order, coupled with the indiscriminate killing of gangs, and the slight fire, all kinds of coincidences overlap each other like a chain, to create such a strange situation.

Either way, the strange feeling seems to wither, and then hope is born.

"That'...... Should I shout for help at the window to get the attention of the fire truck? Elsie stared out the window, her voice hurried and full of passion.

"Don't." Mei Tao lowered his voice, his tone clearly revealing his concern, "This matter may not be so simple, and there are so many murderers and derangers outside, we should be careful." Don't kill on the spur of the moment. I think it's better to go to the lobby and ask for help, even if there is a fire truck outside, the rescuers should come up to save people. ”

Everyone except Ah Jian, who was shy and stuttering, showed a look of approval, and Ah Mao nodded exaggeratedly: "Damn, then hurry up!" ”

The will to live seems to have been rekindled

Wait a minute...... What was that?

Neither the sound of fire trucks nor the faint sound of footsteps...... The familiar sound of friction of mechanical gears must be unforgettable in Guan Tianxiang's life.

Everyone also heard the hungry roar of the giant beast, and suddenly fell silent, and Elsie took several steps back from the position next to the elevator entrance.

Here it comes.

No, "it" is coming.

It's the sound of an elevator moving slowly.

This heavy machine is the ghost here, the heart of the edifice. Ostensibly, it stops functioning normally, but in some cases it suddenly opens up and moves around.

Most importantly, most of the weird things and crises come from the damn ghost, including the bloody words "Go downstairs" on the ceiling and the sudden turn off of the elevator lights after closing the door.

But it must be mentioned, of course, the most creepy thing - the human head in the elevator.

The strange picture of witnessing the bloody human head before was deeply engraved in Guan Tianxiang's mind, and at this moment, the howl of the gears of the elevator couldn't help but make him fall into the abyss of fear.

Will the head still be in the elevator? Or will there be other, more chilling images waiting for their eyes?

They approached the elevator step by step, Mei Tao lifted the mace stained with black blood, and his face tensed: "Everyone beware of an ambush in the elevator, if there is, don't hesitate, being kind to others is cruel to yourself." ”

After hearing this, Guan Tianxiang and Ah Mao didn't dare to pick up the weapons in their hands and aim at the elevator entrance, ready to attack at any time.

Someone else's life seems to be worthless at this moment.

Perhaps, even if their society earnestly advocates benevolence, righteousness and morality, when people's own interests are endangered, they will still bow their heads to the cruel reality and ask for forgiveness. Those slogan-style "life is precious" and "sacrificial spirit" have been reduced to a means of using others and inciting emotions, rather than being as great as Guan Tianxiang thinks.

Perhaps, there is no justice in this society, only the interests of cannibalism. When treating a person well is not because of morality, but only because of self-interest, then people in this society are just lonely businessmen.

What is the value of life? They often advocate cherishing life, but have they ever thought about this fundamental question? Decades of time, struggling to survive, just to save that fragile and insignificant life.

Guan Tianxiang remembered the Jerry brothers and his wife, and the middle-aged man who was killed by Ah Jian just now.

A life that has been carefully cultivated with so much energy and time can be easily destroyed. What they have tried to maintain in the world is nothing but dust.

What a pitiful being, or do they simply lack a reason to be sympathetic?

Thinking about it, Guan Tianxiang vaguely heard the continuous sound of elevator gears coming down from the upper floor, and the sound became more obvious...... Louder and louder.

Stopped.

Guan Tianxiang was referring to the sound of gears and the man-eating elevator.

Everyone was nervous, especially because of the horrors that had happened before.

His hand trembled, as if he was about to drop the golden rod in his hand.

He shuddered and glanced at the watch in his left hand, 21:01. In the elevator lobby on the 10th floor, the light was limited, and the gray fog was thick, so they could only rely on the faint moonlight through the small window.

Suddenly, a white light appeared in front of everyone's eyes, dazzling and familiar.

The elevator door finally opened, like the bloody jaw of a giant beast slowly opening to its coveted prey.

Guan Tianxiang and the others put down the weapons in their hands and couldn't help but relax.

The inside of the elevator was empty, except for the red blood that had been dried up on the ground, which should have dripped from the blood on the top of the elevator and the previous human head.

The ceiling still has the shocking words "go downstairs", and the bold English at this moment is like the eyes of an elevator, looking down at them.

The point is, the head is gone.

What about the human head? Isn't it supposed to be in an elevator?

Guan Tianxiang took a closer look and noticed that the disgusting brain was still sticking to the dry pool of blood on the ground.

The head is gone.

The thrilling picture adds a few points of mystery at the moment.

"The side of the metal door of the elevator." Mei Tao stared at the door, and everyone's eyes moved.

There was still a lot of blood and skin tissue on the side of the elevator door, which they all judged to be from the decapitated male corpse.

That is, the situation of the elevator has not changed much, except for the bloody heads that are nowhere to be found.

It's so terrifying......

Who took the head?

"Head? …… It's gone? Elsie timidly looked around the lobby, as if afraid that someone would be ambushing nearby at any moment.

Originally, they expected that there should be survivors in the elevator, or so-called "deranged", or anything that would bring a crisis. In front of me, it was just an empty elevator.

However, in a poorly lit dark elevator lobby, a brightly lit elevator space, the blood stains on the ground, and the pale light bulb light inevitably make people feel weird.

Wait, how so?

"How can there be electricity, isn't there a power outage, why is there electricity in the elevator?" Guan Tianxiang's eyes as he looked at Mei Tao were filled with infinite confusion.

Everyone looked at each other in a similar way, yes, why did they only find out about this question now?

"That's a naïve question." Mei Tao looked thoughtful, "The main switch of the building is in the lobby, right?" ”

"Yes......" Mao muttered in fear.

Of course, the electricity is controlled by the lobby. If the elevator is the heart of the building, then the lobby is the head of the building, controlling all the daily operations of the building.

"The water is also controlled in the lobby, and the elevator is also controlled in the lobby." Mei Tao stared at the still open light-emitting elevator, "Of course, under normal circumstances, the elevator will follow a program that has been set up a long time ago, unless someone deliberately makes a change in the setting, it will not change the original operation mode." ”

Yes, it sounds like almost all operations are controlled by the lobby as well.

The feeling of hunger became more and more intense, but Guan Tianxiang deliberately suppressed it.

"That's it...... Someone in the lobby is manipulating? Ah Mao said intermittently, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked.

"Don't over-extrapolate. I don't dare to assert, or maybe it's a force, who knows who is controlling this game? Mei Tao smiled bitterly.

He used the word "game" again, sounding powerless and disgusting.

"Swimming...... Play? Game...... Administrator? Ah Jian, the only man who never spoke much, muttered.

If all this could be a ...... manipulated by someone else game, what kind of game would it be? Survival game? Or the Killing Game?

Guan Tianxiang silently told himself that there was no need to be surprised, maybe real life was simply such a game, the same survival, the same killing......

The ruler and winner of society is the administrator of the game, and you and I are the players.

"Sometimes, the aberration is just a fact behind your unaccustomed ......"

Aixi's words suddenly appeared in Guan Tianxiang's mind. What exactly did the girl say?

"Damn, can't you get in now?" Mao consulted them and once again used expletives to hide his astonishment.

Guan Tianxiang stared at the uneasy pale in the elevator in front of him, hesitating.

"I suggest not going in," Mei Tao held his chin, "They and Ah Jian were both ambushed before, and as soon as they entered the elevator, they turned off the lights, and then turned on the lights after a while." ”

The previous terrifying situation, Guan Tianxiang still remembers it vividly, and his heart is pounding.

"So what do we do?" Elsie had no weapon in hand, so he could only stand behind them.

In fact, Guan Tianxiang has been paying careful attention to Aixi, beware that she will take advantage of their surprise attack and wipe them out.

As Mei Tao said, Guan Tianxiang should be careful of this girl.

Guan Tianxiang looked back at the lobby, and the "10" floor sign under the elevator light showed a long reflection, which was not weird.

"Let's try something else." Mei Tao said, took a step forward to the elevator, and looked up at something...... It should be those thrilling blood words.

"What's the method? Did you fucking blow up the elevator? Mao smiled bitterly and proposed indiscriminately.

Mei Tao didn't look back, and his tone was neither cold nor sour: "Wait and see what happens." ”

No one had any objections, and everyone followed Mei Tao's suggestion, surrounded the elevator, and waited.

They weren't even sure what was waiting for them.

Without anyone saying a word, silence once again took over the lonely lobby.

It was too much silence, and Guan Tianxiang even heard everyone's rapid heartbeat.

Even if he hears the rhythm of the heartbeat, he still can't break into everyone's heart and understand the inner world of others.

Everyone, just an isolated existence.

As the clock ticked by, he stared intently at the brightly lit elevator, expecting something to happen.

The disgusting skin and blood stains on the side of the elevator door were like food scraps left behind by the sharp teeth of a giant beast after feasting......

The feeling of nausea is spontaneous.

However, it seemed more of an uneasiness to be watched, and somehow, Guan Tianxiang always felt that the elevator in front of him was waiting for them to step into its throat, and then bite them into plasma......

"The elevator is waiting for us." Elsie suddenly said indifferently.
