it in the dark

Modern people are used to the summer with air conditioners, especially in today's hot weekend afternoon, the air conditioners in the entire office building must be operating at high frequency, and the sound must come from the return pipe of the air conditioner.

Lu You felt that his guess was very reasonable, but when he listened carefully, the sound of the rattling water seemed not far away from him.

The weirdness of the parking lot somewhat affected his judgment. Now he calmed down and looked for the source of the sound carefully, only to find that it came from an elevator on his right.

That's right, how could he forget about this elevator!

There is an elevator room in the office building dedicated to transporting goods, leading to the warehouses on each floor, but he usually takes the employee elevators, so he didn't remember it for a while.

Finally able to leave the damn parking lot, Lu You felt that his steps were lighter.

He walked over to press the elevator, but the rattling sound from inside made him hesitate for a few seconds.

Why is there the sound of water in the elevator?Could it be that a pipe is leaking somewhere?

What puzzled him the most was that the rich aroma he smelled along the way seemed to emanate from here.

But what kind of liquid can emit such a fragrance?

At least Lu You has never seen it.

Although there is a vehicle entrance and staff elevator in front, Lu You just wanted to get out of this damn place as soon as possible, hesitated for a moment, and pressed the up button.

It was a wonderful coincidence that the elevator would have stopped on the 12th floor, which happened to be the floor where his office was located.

The number of floors kept getting smaller and smaller. When reaching the first floor, Lu You felt a little nervous for no reason, because the elevator came with the increasingly intense fragrance.

Why is there such a strong sense of uneasiness?

Lu You always prided himself on being bold, and for the first time in his life, he was a little skeptical of life in this underground parking lot.

With a sound of "ding", the elevator reached the basement floor where he was, and the strange aroma reached the strongest, Lu You felt that he was about to be fainted.

The moment the elevator door opened, Lu You froze in place.

The door opened, but there was no elevator.

There are only three steel cables used for lifting and lowering, and a blood-red wall, the liquid on it is still wet, like an empty elevator room where people died in horror movies.

He wanted to scream, at least it would make him feel better, but the cry was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't even make a muffled grunt.

The aroma comes from these blood-red liquids. Like this liquid, it is thick and sticky, and the strong aroma fills the nasal cavity. Lu You didn't catch his breath, almost suffocating.

Although it is certain that the liquid is not blood, the panic in Lu You's heart has not weakened at all, because he looked up and saw that the elevator stopped at a relatively high position. If he guessed correctly, it should be on the 12th floor, which is where he was waiting just now. During the time, only the numbers on the elevator buttons were running.

A red liquid seeps down from the bottom of the high elevator, drop by drop, dripping on the pulleys below. The bright red color adds a touch of strange color to the quiet machinery, as if it has just run over a living animal, leaving clear evidence of guilt.

Da~da~da~

It seemed that every sound hit the most vulnerable part of Lu You's heart. The cold sweat on his back drenched his clothes unknowingly, and was blown by the cold wind from nowhere, and the chill went straight into the bones.

Lu You frantically pressed the up button, just wanting to close the elevator door quickly, the impact brought by the bright color and strong smell was too strong, he wanted to scream crazily, but he felt There seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him in the darkness, he didn't dare to cry, he could only bite his lower lip.

The elevator didn't seem to want to close it very much, and after a while of reaction, it slowly closed the door.

Lu You turned his head and walked away, his pace continued to speed up, and finally he ran directly.

He was out of breath from running, and his steps became more and more chaotic. He only knew that not far ahead was the last vehicle entrance and exit, and he had to go out from there.

But the more he was afraid, the more flustered he became. The road ahead was still pitch black, and it didn't look like natural light was shining in at all.

Lu You felt his heart gradually cool down, how could it be possible that all three entrances and exits were closed?So how do these cars get out?Has the owner complained already?

Maybe someone will answer the door soon?

Lu You thought so, when he reached the last entrance, he found that it was also closed.

He didn't have time to think, so he kept speeding up his pace, looking for the elevator entrance of the west building.

He saw his black Volkswagen, but kept going. He would rather walk back today than wait here for the door to open.

The location of the elevator entrance in the west building is a bit off. You have to turn half a circle from this road to find the small elevator entrance hidden behind in the underground parking lot lined with pillars.

As a frequent visitor to the parking lot, Lu You is still very familiar with the route here, but after turning out from the straight road, he hardly turned on any lights, and his vision was pitch black.

He was accidentally stopped by something like a rope at his waist, and then he took two steps back and turned on the flashlight.

It was a string of small colorful flags, which were tied outside a parking area and used as a fence. Lu You accidentally tore off a small flag when he bumped into it just now.

During the last part of the journey, Lu You kept the flashlight on and walked briskly, only to tell him that in the bottomless darkness around him, something seemed to be quietly approaching him.

He followed his memory to find the elevator, turned half a circle, but didn't see the pillar beside the elevator. He thought he was confused and miscalculated the distance, so he walked a little further, but found that this place was not what he thought. too same.

According to the distance traveled just now, it is almost enough to make a circle, and he probably went the wrong way.

Go back?

Lu You hesitated for a moment, but decided to go forward. If he was circling just now, then going forward would be the fastest.

So he continued to walk forward, and soon came to a familiar location. Looking to the side, it was the last vehicle entrance and exit that he just passed.

Did he take such a long detour without realizing it?

Walking back to the place where the little colored flag was just now, Lu You carefully recalled the location of the elevator, and walked up to the intersection just now.

But when he detoured around the vehicle entrance and exit again, he finally realized something was wrong.

How could it be possible to go back again?

Lu You was sure that he had carefully looked at every pillar along the way, and it was impossible for him to miss the location of the elevator, unless he went to the wrong location twice.

But the problem is, this road doesn't even have a fork in the road!

For a moment, Lu You began to wonder whether there was something wrong with his own memory, or something wrong with the parking lot.

Going forward from the little bunting, there are only two directions, one leads to the smoke exhaust machine room, which he confirmed when he passed by just now, and the other is the direction leading to the elevator that he just walked.

In order to avoid being blinded by his excessive fear, Lu You decided to walk again, this time he walked a little slower, carefully looked at every corner, and did not miss any corner, but in the end, he still walked Back to the vehicle entrance.

The door was closed quietly, and the connection with Hope was also shut outside.

Lu Youqiang cheered up and carefully recalled the scene of walking all the way after leaving the freight elevator. There was no complicated route designed in this parking lot. He walked all the way, how could he go wrong?

Unless, he encountered a ghost hitting the wall.

Looking at the string of colorful little flags, the missing side confirmed that he had indeed been returning to this place repeatedly.

He thought of his mobile phone, took it out and turned on the compass. The software warned that there was magnetic field interference nearby. He drew an "8" in the air, but he couldn't get around the normal east, west, north, south.

He felt that he was trapped here by something that could not be explained by science.

If he couldn't find the elevator entrance, he could only turn back all the way, praying that a certain entrance and exit had been opened. If not, he could only go all the way to the east building. What was certain was that there was a guard there to make him feel at ease.

He was going to make the last struggle, took out the car keys, and drew a triangle symbol on the wall, trying to see if he could follow the mark without turning back.

Every time he passed a pillar, he drew one, and marked it carefully along the way.

Just when he finished drawing the fifth one and was about to move on, suddenly, he heard a rustling sound from the surrounding darkness, like the sound of cloth rubbing against each other, and the sound of soles rubbing against the ground. If it is the latter, then the comer must be treading lightly and carefully.

The sound was getting closer and closer, and Lu You was almost sure that it was the sound of human footsteps.

It should be a happy thing to know that there is a living person nearby, but at this time Lu You was not happy at all, and the sound of cautious footsteps reminded him that the visitor was not good.

He recalled his speculation when he found the Grizzly bear doll, probably there was indeed a person hiding in it at that time, and now he caught up with him to silence him.

If it weren't for being sure that the red liquid in the elevator wasn't blood, Lu You would be able to imagine a horror story about a blood-sucking murderer in an underground parking lot right now.

He suddenly turned off the flashlight, and the surroundings were suddenly plunged into darkness. Lu You's eyes couldn't adapt for a while, and he flashed into the gap between the two cars next to him based on the memory of the previous second, and quietly moved his steps. Location.
