Under the guidance of the little girl, the four of them walked through the dark and long corridor and came to an elevator.
The elevator buttons were glowing red, and the door was already covered with spider webs, showing that no one had taken it for a long time.
Long Feicheng was worried: "Is this elevator undergoing routine maintenance? Is it going to break down later?"
The three of them rolled their eyes at Long Feicheng, who quickly covered his mouth and muttered: "Bah, bah, bah, look at my crow's mouth!"
No one alive now dares to enter Ping An Building, let alone if there is anyone to maintain the elevator.
Seeing everyone's hesitation, the little girl disappeared again, and appeared at the entrance of the stairwell the next second.
Yan Shou thought for a while and said, "Let's take the elevator, otherwise by the time we climb upstairs, we will have run out of energy. If something goes wrong, we won't even have a chance to escape."
Xia Zhi agreed, but Lin Zitong had a different idea: "The elevator goes straight up and down. Like the old well, it is a connection between heaven and earth. The probability of strange things happening is also high. I think it is safer to take the stairs."
In the early years, when elevators were not yet common, strange things happened mostly in the stairwells.
But now that elevators are popular, there seem to be more strange things happening in elevators.
Moreover, the elevator is a completely sealed space. If something happens, life or death is a matter of a thought.
What Lin Zitong said is not unreasonable.
So Yan Shouyi said: "It's better to do this. We vote democratically, and whoever has more votes will listen to whoever has the most votes."
Lin Zitong chuckled: "You want to engage in democracy with me now, what will you do when you get married in the future?"
"Of course I will listen to my sister-in-law when we get married!" Long Feicheng quickly flattered her.
Lin Zitong was very pleased and showed a satisfied smile, but Yan Shouyi looked at Long Feicheng warningly. Long Feicheng felt something was wrong and quickly changed the subject: "But I'm not married yet!"
Lin Zitong fully despised Long Feicheng's double-faced behavior, and then said helplessly: "Then vote, if you follow me up the stairs, raise your hands!"
Lin Zitong raised his hand, Long Feicheng hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand as well, and everyone looked at Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi thought for a while, then raised her hand to express her support for Lin Zitong.
"Three to one, you lose, let's take the stairs." Lin Zitong said with a smile.
Long Feicheng said with a bitter face: "Brother Yan, you have to understand me. After all, my sister-in-law is Caiwei's best friend. As the saying goes, fire prevention, theft prevention and best friend prevention, I can only switch sides temporarily!"
Yan Shouyi sighed: "Forget it, it's safer to take the stairs, so let's go up quickly."
In order to express his apology, Long Feicheng volunteered to be the first to enter the stairwell.
He walked at the front and bravely opened the door, but only halfway through, his body froze.
Time seemed to pause for three seconds, and even the air froze.
Suddenly, Long Feicheng retracted his hand and said with a pale face: "Let's take the elevator."
"Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Xia Zhi asked.
Long Feicheng's breath became very urgent, and he squeezed the three people into the elevator, quickly pressed the elevator button, and when he saw the elevator door opened, he pushed everyone in without hesitation.
When the elevator door closed, he breathed a sigh of relief and then said with a white face:
"You didn't look at it just now, but the stairwell was full of..."
"What is it?"
Long Feicheng made a face: "It's all Ah Piao."
Xia Zhi's face also turned pale: "All of them?"
Long Feicheng nodded sternly: "The stairwell is crowded and crowded. At first glance, they are all charred heads. Maybe the parents of the little girl who showed us the way are in there..."
Although the other three people did not see the situation in the stairwell, they felt creepy when they heard Long Feicheng's description.
As soon as you open the door, let alone ghosts, you will be frightened even if you see a dense crowd of living people, let alone burnt ghosts?
When people are extremely scared, they will forget to scream. Fear is like a pair of hands strangling the throat, making people unable to make a sound at all.
That's how Long Feicheng reacted just now. It wasn't that he was very brave, but that he was so scared that he was numb.
Lin Zitong sighed softly: "Those ghosts are probably the victims who were burned to death in the building in 2001. Because of the strangeness of the building, their souls cannot be released, and they can only be trapped here forever, and they can only survive.
At the bottom of the building."
Ghosts, like people, must be divided into three, six, and nine grades. Liu Jingkang and his slaves are the most typical example.
In the Ping An Building, evil spirits are rampant. Those unjust ghosts who were burned to death can only survive on the lowest floor. There are more powerful evil spirits on their heads to suppress them and prevent them from crossing the boundary.
"I feel more and more that Ping An Building does not look like a haunted building," Yan Shou said after a pause, "more like a slaughterhouse where pigs are raised."
Everyone was silent for a while.
Long Feicheng was the first to break the silence. He said: "We haven't pressed the floor yet."
Ping An Building has a total of 52 floors.
The little girl suddenly appeared, pointing to the 44th floor. Lin Zitong pressed the button, and the little girl disappeared.
She said: "The little girl didn't dare to cross the line, so she stayed on the first floor. After reaching the 44th floor, we will go look for it ourselves."
The first floor is already so scary, how scary would it be to live on the 44th floor?
With an anxious mood, the elevator slowly went up.
The display on the head shows the number of floors.
However, when the elevator ascended to the 17th floor, the numbers displayed on the display suddenly trembled.
Immediately afterwards, the numbers kept flashing back and forth between 16 and 17!
The four people who noticed something was wrong looked up and held their breaths waiting for the result.
Finally, the display screen is divided into two, with the upper part showing the upper part of 17 and the lower part showing the lower part of 16.
Long Feicheng felt bad and quickly said: "Are we stuck between the 16th and 17th floors? Let me tell you, this elevator is in disrepair and there will definitely be problems!"
However, Yan Shouyi said calmly:
"The elevator can get stuck. How can the numbers displayed on the display be stuck like this? We are not stuck between the 16th and 17th floors, but between the 16th and 17th floors. Something that does not belong to the living world is coming in!"
After hearing this, everyone became alert and stared at the elevator door.
bite!
A clear but deafening bell rang, and the elevator door slowly opened.
Outside the door was a long, dark corridor. From where Yan Shouyi and the others stood, they could only see a huge red wardrobe at the end of the corridor.
Other than that, it's not clear what's in the middle.
Xia Zhi felt her eyes were dry and couldn't help but rub her eyes.
However, when she opened her eyes, the wardrobe, which was still far away, actually seemed to be a little closer.
"Have you seen it?" Xia Zhi said in surprise, "The wardrobe seems to be closer!"
Yan Shouyi said in a deep voice: "What you saw was not an illusion. The moment we blinked, the wardrobe was really close!"
Will the wardrobe move in the blink of an eye?
Everyone's hearts suddenly rose to their throats.
They know that they must not blink at this time, otherwise the wardrobe will get closer and closer.
But the less you want to blink, the more you have the desire to blink!
This must be a kind of mental pain and torture for everyone!
Long Feicheng quietly pressed the door-closing button, but the elevator didn't respond at all.
He lowered his head anxiously to confirm whether he pressed the wrong button.
However, when he raised his head again, the red wardrobe was closer!
