123 Trouble Unlimited Inc. (XVIII)
11th Floor, President's Office.
"Ding." The elevator opened, and what appeared in front of Yan Yueming was a completely different scene from downstairs. In front of you is a long corridor with white tiles, and at the end of the corridor is another elevator.
If Yan Yueming guessed correctly, they took the elevator on the west side to come up, and the elevator on the east side was opposite. The corridor is long and the two are far apart.
There was no one in the hallway, and it was eerily quiet.
The sound of breathing began to fall to the ground.
Shen Yinchuan and Li Ran glanced at each other, and just wanted to step out, but were stopped by Yan Yueming raising his hand. He hesitated and said: "I'm thinking, if you go, you won't come back, can it also become a rule?" β
"Can't go back?" Li Ran's heart moved slightly.
This seems to explain why no one who came to the 11th floor showed up again. He then pulled out the rope from the hood of his sweatshirt, the ends of which had been braided with knots for decoration, and untied the knots, which were about two meters long.
Gu Fei was interested, "You prepared this in advance?" β
"Be prepared." Li Ran glanced around, and finally handed the other end of the rope to Shen Yinchuan, wrapped the other end in his hand, and didn't need to say any more hello, and stepped out directly.
"Safety." He has a bold demeanor, but a very calm voice. Then he took two more steps forward until the rope was straight, and instead of looking back, he tentatively kept his body facing forward and took half a step back.
Shen Yinchuan didn't move.
Li Ran retreated, but the rope was still straight, which proved that he hadn't retreated half a step. He didn't feel like he was being targeted, and he didn't foul him, but he didβhe couldn't go back.
Is there something wrong with the space, or has his perception been affected?
Li Ran calmed down, twisted his neck to look back, and when he saw Yan Yueming and the three of them at the elevator door, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "It seems that the literal meaning of 'can't turn back' is still not valid." β
Yan Yueming saw that he was still in the mood to joke, so she knew that he was fine. After sorting out his thoughts a little, he walked out and said, "The senior said when I was in class, don't panic when there is a problem with time and space in the gaps. β
Gu Fei walked beside him and said curiously, "Senior? The seniors of Garden Road? β
The story that happened to Xiao Ming is not unusual, and everyone in the upper city knows it. Yan Yueming nodded and explained seriously: "Don't rush to break, or return to the original place, we ourselves are our own anchor point." And most of the time, once you step out, it's more difficult to turn back than to move forward, so it's better to move forward. β
"Xiao Ming, you...... It's really reliable. Gu Fei suddenly sighed.
"Huh?" Yan Yueming was slightly stunned.
Gu Fei didn't explain much, she smiled at Yan Yueming and continued to walk forward. Yan Yueming was still a little stunned, her level could be rated as reliable, should she say that her hard work has finally paid off, or should she be embarrassed?
Anyway, Yan Yueming was a little happy.
The four of them walked all the way and soon found the first room.
This room is to their right, and the sign on the door says "Lounge". The door was closed, and there was no crack in the solid wood door for people to peep into.
"The style here is really different from downstairs
οΌ
Downstairs are all large chunks of glass,
The view is very clear, but you can't see anything here. Gu Fei said.
"Could this be the difference between a boss and an employee?" Li Ran said, knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Yan Yueming paid close attention to the ground, the white tiles were wiped clean, and the light shone brightly, leaving no footprints. The door would not open, and instead of rushing in, they chose to keep walking until they came to an intersection and stopped.
This is the intersection of the two corridors.
"It's a really strange structure." Gu Fei looked back again, such a long way, there was only the first door.
Looking out from the south, north, and east directions, there are only long straight corridors, and there are no paintings or decorations in the corridors. The most special thing is this north-south corridor, which seems to have no end at a glance.
"It's a mirror." Shen Yinchuan broke through the mystery in one sentence.
At the end of this north-south corridor is a mirror wall, and there are mirrors hidden in the corridor, and the mirrors reflect the corridor, so it seems that this corridor has no end.
Yan Yueming saw herself in the mirror, but she didn't dare to look at it more, and quickly looked away. He took out his binoculars again, and looked all the way down the ground from his feet, not missing a single detail. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, and said, "Look, there is something on the ground." β
He looked to the south, about fifty meters away, and there was a black button on the ground.
Gu Fei also learned from him and took out the binoculars, but she looked at the north, "There is also here, there is paper on the wall, there is a message on it, and the payment is ...... 2οΌ β
Zhang Jiaoyue!
Li Ran narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes showed a fine light, "Then this button...... I remember Ying Xie wearing a very fashionable dress with a lot of buttons today. β
Gu Fei: "They went separately? β
One to the south and one to the north.
Yan Yueming looked straight ahead, that is, the corridor on the east side.
There was nothing left of this hallway, but the pure white tiles seemed to be mixed with some other colors, and in a flash, they were already very light and light.
Yan Yueming looked back and forth, and finally locked the tile crack in the corner of the wall at the end of the corridor, "Bloodstains!" β
Shen Yinchuan immediately reacted, "Cleaner? β
They had speculated that the blood dripping from the cleaning car was due to the fact that the area had just been cleaned. Where is this place? The answer seems to be at hand.
And the elevator on the east side happened to be the elevator where the two cleaners were riding, and they cleaned up the blood on the ground outside the elevator on the 11th floor, and then entered the elevator and went downstairs, which seemed very reasonable.
Li Ran glanced at the time, "Let's split up?" β
Gu Fei: "Since you want to divide it, you have to divide it a little more simply, and divide it into three ways." β
Yan Yueming was frightened by their boldness, if they went in three ways, they would have to go to all three corridors, and two people would have to act alone, the risk would be too high.
Without waiting for Yan Yueming to express his concerns, Gu Fei said: "Li Ran and I will each go one, divided into north and south, how about you and Shen Yinchuan go to the east?" You two were originally teamed up, and I think the east side is probably the most dangerous. β
Yan Yueming hurriedly said: "But there may be clues to the east side." β
Gu Fei smiled freely, "This is not necessarily. Zhang Jiaoyue and Ying Xie are very strong, they may have discovered something, so
I chose those two paths. β
Only then did Yan Yueming see that
She laughed with two small dimples,
There is a hint of cuteness in the heroic spirit.
"Then it's decided." Li Ran said, tilting his head at Gu Fei and signaling, "Which side do you choose?" β
"Male left, female right." Gu Fei didn't make any concessions to him.
Seeing that they had all discussed, Yan Yueming was no longer hypocritical, "Then let's meet at the front desk later?" Continue to order food there and have dinner together. If you miss a meal, it's ......."
Gu Fei: "We still have dry food in our backpacks, so it doesn't matter if we miss a dinner." If you miss it, why don't you go to Ma Renai? Use him as a point of contact. β
Li Ran: "Yes." β
Yan Yueming: "Then it's decided, you pay attention to safety." β
Shen Yinchuan also nodded in greeting.
However, they didn't immediately split up, Yan Yueming deliberately waited in place, waiting for Gu Fei, Li Ran, and Shen Yinchuan to each walk to the end of the corridor and send back the news.
Gu Fei walked to the south and picked up the buttons on the ground.
Li Ran walked to the north, that is, the corridor where the paper was left on the wall. He read aloud the words on the paper, "One, the road here cannot be turned back, only forward." Second, in front of the mirror, please pay attention to your appearance. Three, if you find that the person in the mirror is different from the real situation, it is normal, parentheses, temporary. β
Three pieces of information are very clear, worthy of No. 2.
It's this third one, which makes Yan Yueming's heart a little hairy.
At the same time, Shen Yinchuan squatted down at the end of the corridor on the east side, carefully observed the blood stains in the tile cracks, then looked up to the left, and turned around: "It's the president's office." β
Gu Fei followed, "I'm here in the archives. β
Li Ran: "Secretarial office." β
Yan Yueming stood in the center of the intersection and could see the situation of three people at the same time. He found that if he took himself as the center point and went in four directions, the rooms were on his left-hand side.
The structure on the 11th floor is exactly the character "Tian" cut by the corridor, and each room occupies a lattice.
Are these four rooms separate or connected, and are there any other doors to enter and exit?
Yan Yueming had no clue for a while, and there were no new clues around. It wasn't early, Li Ran and Gu Fei didn't wait any longer, and after knocking on the door to no avail, they decided to enter directly.
"Click." The two pressed the doorknob at the same time, and then made an OK gesture towards Yan Yueming.
The action of opening the door is safe.
Yan Yueming nodded to them, and the two entered immediately, and Yan Yueming finally took a step forward and went to meet Shen Yinchuan.
Shen Yinchuan is still studying the blood stains left in the tile joints, which is very close to the elevator and not far from the president's office, in between.
Yan Yueming looked at the closed door of the office, and then looked at the elevator, and suddenly had a new question: "What if I come up from the elevator on the west side, go all the way without looking back, go straight here, and take the elevator on the east side directly?" β
Shen Yinchuan: "Theoretically feasible. β
Yan Yueming: "But if I want to enter the elevator, I have to pass through the office door, and if I can't turn back, I won't be able to enter the office...... Wait, the elevator is going up, someone is coming up. β
Hearing this, Shen Yinchuan looked back at the elevator and got up to stand beside Yan Yueming.
After about ten seconds, the elevator door opened, revealing two familiar faces, which were No. 6 Bu Xia and No. 99 Chen Ye. Bu Xia generously stepped out of the elevator, "It's you, I'm looking for you." β
Yan Yueming: "Looking for us?" βοΌ
