Chapter 8: The Haunted Office Building
Yang Shangyong had just finished his meal and followed Xu Cheng away from the security room and came outside: "You are Xu Cheng, are you? What are you asking for me?"
Yang Shangyong is a security guard who just joined the company half a year ago. Although he looks fierce and has a little bit of a big eye, he is willing to help others. The white-collar workers in the building often ask him for work if they have anything to do, and he doesn't bother with it.
Xu Cheng didn't keep it a secret and went straight: "Brother Yang, I heard that you saw Lin Yixue when you were patrolling last night?"
"Yes! I was shocked."
Yang Shangyong patted his chest with his hand, looking very scared: "I saw her floating near your company, and the property management didn't care about it, and even warned me not to talk nonsense. My mouth was so strict, how could I talk nonsense?"
In less than a day, the news spread almost throughout the office building, and your mouth was even more fluttering than Lin Yixue.
Xu Cheng asked about some details, but Yang Shangyong was so scared that he was so scared that he had no details to observe after seeing Lin Yixue last night.
Although the name is Shangyong, he is quite brave.
When he went back, Yang Shangyong also advised him: "Just listen, don't come to kill me in the middle of the night. If something happens, we can't save you."
There are too many strange things in this world. Ordinary people will hide as far as they encounter. If they force themselves to get along, they will not end up well.
Xu Cheng agreed, but he had his own plans in his heart.
He realized that if this was true, it would be a breakthrough.
The mysterious letter that Lin Yixue saw before committing suicide must be related to the identity of the murderer, so that she would take it away after Lin Yixue committed suicide.
...
As night fell, Xu Cheng, who had been working for a day, returned home successfully. Today, the murderer did not jump out to attack him.
After preparing supper for Xu Yao, Xu Cheng went out with a backpack on his backpack, went to the nearby fresh market to buy some items needed, and rode a bicycle that he hadn't used for a long time to head to the upper city.
It is very dangerous to go out in the middle of the night. Maybe the murderer is guarding outside and will fall into the trap once he comes out.
Even if there is no murderer to guard it, there are still many lunatics or strange things wandering around at night. Ordinary people have long developed the habit of not leaving at night.
Under the night sky, Xu Cheng was walking under the trees by the roadside. The light shone on his body through the leaves and was mottled. In the distance, there was the gorgeous night view of the city, which was hazy and unreal.
More than an hour later, he finally entered the Shangcheng District and came to the business circle where the office building was located.
From a distance, the entire office building was pitch black, and only the security room was still on.
Xu Cheng found a place to hide his bicycle, and took advantage of the security guard at the door to sneak into the building. He walked in front of the door with a glass door. Through the glass, you can see the dark corridor inside.
Because the security guard had to patrol at night, the door was not locked. Xu Cheng pushed open the two glass doors, accompanied by a slight creaking sound, and a gust of cold wind blew out.
The corridor was pitch black and nothing could be seen, like a deep cave. Xu Cheng took out a flashlight from his backpack and shone it in. It seemed that even the light of the flashlight was swallowed by the darkness, and it could not illuminate the situation inside.
Before traveling through time, Xu Cheng would never have run to a haunted place in the middle of the night, and he was not that brave.
However, after experiencing so many frightening times after traveling through time, he once wandered around the edge of life and death, and even the timid people would be swelling.
The entire office building was very quiet, with only Xu Cheng's footsteps slightly and echoing in the empty corridor.
I don’t know if I have an illusion, but it always sounds like there is another footstep, as if someone is following behind secretly.
Xu Cheng looked back several times and could only see a darkness.
He decided to go to the vicinity of his company first, because the security guards encountered Lin Yixue's place.
Taking the elevator to the outside of the company on the seventh floor, Xu Cheng used the key he had secretly installed today to open the company's door, and the flashlight shone in. The tables and chairs inside were neatly arranged, and the floor was clean and tidy. It seemed that the colleagues who were doing hygiene had done their job well.
Xu Cheng closed the door and walked in, and came to Lin Yixue's location.
Her location was only a few meters away from the window, and she was able to open the window and jump out without everyone paying attention.
Xu Cheng came to the window and poked his head out. He did not dare to take out the flashlight and shine it, so as not to be discovered by the security guard below.
It was pitch black outside, and you could only see the gorgeous night view of the city center in the distance.
Xu Cheng looked around and found nothing. He was about to retract his head when he suddenly felt a cold neck and some liquid dripping on it.
“It’s raining?”
Xu Cheng subconsciously raised his head and looked upstairs, his eyes suddenly widened, and his heartbeat almost stopped suddenly.
On the eighth floor, a head was poking out of the corridor and looking down. Only blurred outlines could be seen in the night, but it could be seen that it was a woman with her long dark hair drooping down.
Another drop of liquid fell down and fell on Xu Cheng's face, which made him come to his senses and quickly lifted the flashlight and shone it up.
Before the light shone, the woman's head was quickly retracted.
Xu Cheng resisted the urge to shout Lin Yixue's name and rushed upstairs.
The eighth floor is also the company's area. The place where the mysterious woman poked her head out just now was the warehouse.
When he was running up the stairs, Xu Cheng wiped his face with his hand and put it under the flashlight. The bright red blood looked extremely dazzling.
In less than ten seconds, he had already rushed to the eighth floor and came outside the warehouse and found that the warehouse door was not locked.
Xu Cheng took a deep breath, pushed open the warehouse door and walked in.
The warehouse is not small in size, and seven or eight rows of shelves that are taller than people are piled with all kinds of debris.
When Xu Cheng walked in, he found that the warehouse was quieter, so quiet that it was almost deadly, and the temperature dropped severely, which made him feel cold in his thin coat.
The flashlight shines in the dark warehouse, which not only does not bring a sense of security, but also adds a hint of horror.
Fortunately, Xu Cheng was frightened enough after traveling through time, especially when facing his sister and mother, this horrifying atmosphere made him feel like he was going home.
Having said that, the rational value has been reduced by a few points, falling to 92 points.
Xu Cheng took a few deep breaths and recovered his emotions. He came to the company to find Lin Yixue just a helpless choice. He came with the mentality of taking chances, but he didn't expect that he would really get lucky.
After calming down, Xu Cheng felt a subtle feeling of being peeped at, as if someone was hiding in the corner and peeking at him.
He followed the feeling and shone the flashlight over. After seeing the shelf at the farthest, there was a woman's back wearing a white dress.
Xu Cheng's heart thumped and he said, "Lin Yixue?"
The back is motionless.
Xu Cheng took a deep breath and took the initiative to walk towards his back. The closer he got, the faster his heartbeat and his rational value dropped to 90 points.
When he was only a few meters away from his back, Xu Cheng slowed down and slowly approached, and the light from the flashlight shone through him bit by bit.
Finally, the flashlight shone on a miserable white face, with empty and silent eyes.
Xu Cheng was slightly stunned, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.
The back of this white dress is not Lin Yixue, but a humanoid model of the same size.
Xu Cheng shone the flashlight inside and saw more than a dozen human bodies standing on the open space inside. The light shone on, like a group of motionless dead people.
The company entered the clothing design business for a while, but unfortunately the middle way collapsed before starting a business, so the mannequin bought at a high price was stuffed into the warehouse and eaten dust.
Shouldn't these mannequins all be lying in boxes? Who took them out to play with them?
Before Xu Cheng could think a lot, he heard a clang, which seemed very terrifying in the dark environment.
The door of the warehouse was closed.
Xu Cheng turned around suddenly, and the flashlight shone over, reaching the closed warehouse door.
The warehouse door is specially made. In order to prevent accidentally being locked inside, it must be pressed vigorously before it can be closed.
Now the door suddenly closed, making Xu Cheng realize that he was the only one in the warehouse.
