unspoken

1994 1 Month 19 Day.

Zhou Wenbo discovered that one day every year, a jar locked in the cabinet in the hall would disappear inexplicably.He asked Xie Heng, who was traveling with him, but he said, "It's broken, the elevator had an accident today."

Zhou Wenbo felt puzzled, but because he was too busy with work, he didn't pay much attention to it.

During lunch break, he and Xie Heng were waiting for the elevator in the lobby.

Ding.

When the elevator arrived, a person who had never seen him before walked out of it. This person was walking with a limp, his left hand was hanging weakly by his side, swinging with his body.

Are you disabled?Zhou Wenbo kindly let him pass, and followed the people in the lobby into the elevator.

"Floor 16, click for me, thank you."

"I'm going to the 25th floor!"

"I'm going to the fourth floor."

Because the elevator was too crowded, the people who were squeezed to the back couldn't press the elevator button, so they had to ask the person standing in front to help press it at the top of their voices.

Zhou Wenbo tugged on his tie, because it gets boring when there are too many people in the confined space.However, just when he was about to be in a daze, Xie Heng who was standing beside him suddenly roared, shaking him all over.

"You can't press the 4th floor today! If you want to go, please take the stairs!"

"Why do I take the elevator and it's your turn to tell me what to do?"

"that is!"

"Whatever, let the elevator start!"

Amidst the noise, the button for floor "4" was still pressed.The elevator slowly closed the door and began to run, and the numbers on the screen were beating steadily.

4.

The elevator doors didn't open.

15.

24.

31.

66.

444.

For some reason, strange numbers jumped on the screen, and the elevator kept shaking.

"what happened?!"

"Our highest is the 31st floor, right?!"

"Yes, do you want to press the stop urgently and contact the property management!!"

Zhou Wenbo looked at Xie Heng in horror, "What should I do?!"

Unexpectedly, Xie Heng was also at a loss, and murmured: "I... I don't know, I just heard about it..."

Suddenly, the elevator stopped shaking, but the door still did not open.

click.

The elevator shook violently.

Click, click, click.

Before everyone could react, the elevator had fallen into an endless abyss...

1999, April 4.

Today is Wang Yihan's first time at work, and the company arranged for Zhou Wenbo to show him the environment.

On the first floor, the sharp-eyed Zhou Wenbo saw that the jar with exquisite patterns in the cabinet was missing.He turned his head and said to Wang Yihan with a serious expression, "Remember, every day you go to work, you have to check to see if there is anything missing in the cabinet. If it is missing, you must not take the elevator to the fourth floor that day."

Wang Yihan nodded with a vague understanding. He really wanted to ask why such a high-end hotel has such unwritten rules.But his intuition told him not to ask too much, not to listen too much, not to think too much, just do it obediently.

The elevator arrived, and a person with unsteady steps walked out of it. His left arm seemed to be broken, hanging by his side and shaking weakly.

2015年2月18日，晚22点47分。

Following Lin Yi to the elevator entrance, the elevator room was very quiet, only the muffled sound of shoes colliding on the ground could be heard.

Yin You didn't dare to get closer. It's alright that the carpet under his feet is on the marble floor, even if he walked carefully, he would still make a sound.

Ding.

Lin Yi entered the elevator, and the door slowly closed.

Only then did Yin You dare to walk to the elevator room, and glanced at the digital display. Lin Yijin's elevator had been parked on this floor and did not move. It seemed that he hadn't pressed any floors, and he didn't know what he was doing in the elevator. .

"You." Yin Sha who followed behind shouted, "You don't want to take the elevator to the fourth floor, do you?"

"My younger brother understands me!" Yin You smiled.

"No!" Yin Sha was angry, "It's too dangerous. Teacher Lin told us not to go to the fourth floor."

"It's what other people say, brother, you are too sweet." Yin You pouted, "Don't you want to know the reason?"

"But..." Yin Sha hesitated.

"It's nothing to worry about, besides..." Yin You took out a black dagger from the pocket of his coat and threw it to Yin Cha, "If anything happens, this is more than enough to deal with it."

"It's really messed up." Yin Sha took the black blade, still worried.

"If you don't enter the tiger's lair, how can you catch a tiger's cub!" Yin You left this sentence, turned around and entered another elevator.

Yin Sha sighed, with a helpless expression on his face, but he held the black blade tightly and stepped into the elevator.

click.

Press 4 and the door snaps shut.

17.

14.

10.

6.

4.

Ding.

The door opened slowly.

"!" After the door was only opened a crack, Yin You felt an aura of strong malice rushing towards his face.

Every cell in his body trembled, forcing Yin You to take a step back.When Yin Sha saw this, he knew that Yin You had sensed something was wrong, so he pulled the blade out of its sheath without thinking, and blocked his brother behind him, all in one go.

"What are you doing here?" Accompanied by words without warmth, it was Lin Yi standing in front of the elevator door.

"Huh...it's Teacher Lin!" Yin You heaved a sigh of relief, obviously frightened by the strange smell just now.

Lin Yi glanced at the blade in Yin Sha's hand, and then at Yin You who was guarding him behind him. A flash of understanding flashed in his eyes, "Leave the 4th floor quickly, this place is very dangerous. And classmate Yin, put away the control knife , next time I see it, it will be confiscated."

Yin Sha put away the knife silently.

"Mr. Lin, since you said that the fourth floor is dangerous, what are you doing here?" Yin You asked Lin Yi pretending to know nothing.

Just as Lin Yi was about to answer, his eyes changed, and he entered the elevator and slammed the button on the first floor for them, "I'll explain later, you go down first."

boom! !

Just when Lin Yi was about to exit the elevator, the door suddenly closed at an abnormal speed, as if someone had used all his strength to close the door.

Immediately afterwards, there was a hysterical roar: "Don't even try to leave—!"

"Stand close to the wall!" Lin Yi yelled at Yin You and the others, then took out a modified automatic pistol from his waist, and fired three bullets in the direction of the sound.

The bullet went off, hit something exactly, and the casing fell to the ground with a clang.Just when Lin Yi was about to shoot in that direction, the elevator suddenly rose sharply, and the number on the digital display kept increasing, and it seemed that it was about to break through the highest 31st floor.

Lin Yi's center of gravity was made unstable by the sudden ascension, and at that moment, a black shadow pounced on Lin Yi, strangled his neck, ignored gravity, and pressed Lin Yi forcefully to the ground. On the ground, the gun dropped from his hand and slid to the corner.

"If you hadn't come in the way, I would have escaped from this damn elevator today! 20 years, 20 years! Why did they kill me and trap me here!?" A suspicious figure emerged from the shadows. Facial features, this face made a sad expression, but the tone was unusually angry, "I want to drag you to hell!"

"Teacher Lin!" Yin You yelled, and wanted to go up to help, but was stopped by Yin Sha.

"We have no way... against him..." Yin Sha gritted his teeth.He was never a coward, and he would never run away without being rescued, but he really felt the killing intent coming from that black shadow - if he confronted him with a knife, he would definitely be torn to pieces.

"..."

Lin Yi was strangled until his lips turned purple, but he didn't panic at all. Instead, he seemed to have experienced it many times. Apart from calmness, he couldn't find any second emotion in his eyes.

When the black shadow was not paying attention, he took out a jar with exquisite carvings in his pocket and threw it upward.

As soon as the black shadow raised his head following his movements, when he saw the jar, he subconsciously reached out to take it.

Taking advantage of the distraction of the shadow, Lin Yi turned over and picked up the gun that fell in the corner, raised the gun and shot at the shadow who just got the jar.

The sound of the gun tore through the dense air around him, and the shot went down, piercing the jar.

The black shadow roared in pain, and wanted to pounce on Lin Yi, but unexpectedly, his figure exploded in front of him.

Yin You stared dumbfounded. This scene was like a person being blown into corpses in front of him.

"Ahem...!" Lin Yi coughed and stood up while leaning on the wall, "Are you okay?"

The hoarse voice tightened the hearts of Yin You and Yin Sha.

"No, it's fine..."

"That's good." Lin Yi nodded, his face was full of pain, but he straightened his back stubbornly and pressed the first floor.

Yin You looked up, and it turned out that they were still on the fourth floor, and the elevator did not go up.

Was everything just an illusion?No, it's impossible.

Yin Sha looked at the five-finger-shaped bluish-purple mark on Lin Yi's neck, and frowned.

After parting with Lin Yi in the lobby, the two brothers went back by bus.

Seeing the two sons coming back so late, Yin's father and Yin's mother still looked sullen, thinking that something happened, but they didn't say anything, one ran into the room without even saying hello when they got home, and the other didn't make any sense at all. Ignore them and go straight to the fridge to get a beer.

Yin's father and Yin's mother looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

"Adolescence is troublesome?" Father Yin said.

"Oh, then don't worry about it." Mother Yin smiled.

The two natural parents let go and went back to their room to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Yin You, who locked herself in the room, was very guilty.

If he hadn't appeared at that time, Lin Yi might have been able to retreat without injury, because he acted recklessly in his own opinion, and Lin Yi had to protect them from being hurt by the ghosts, so he suffered serious injuries.

"I'm such an idiot..." Yin You raised his head and sighed.

"Knock, knock—" there was a knock on the door.

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

Yin Sha came in with two cans of beer and looked at the decadent Yin You. Instead of handing him the beer immediately, he squatted down in front of him and raised his hand.

Yin You took a look and knew that Yin Sha was going to beat him, so he closed his eyes, as if letting him be slaughtered.

"Crack, clap."

Yin Sha slapped Yin You's cheek lightly, one slap was not enough, two or three more.If anyone was watching, they would think they were flirting.

"..." Yin You looked at Yin Sha with an expression of "you're kidding me".

On the other hand, Yin Sha had an unquestionable seriousness on his face, and a little well-hidden anger.

"This time it was indeed your fault, but I didn't stop you, it was my fault. Don't take all the mistakes and then blame yourself." Yin Sha sat down beside Yin You and handed a can of beer give him.

"Whispering!" Yin You said dishonestly, but took the beer honestly.

"Sorry, I'll think twice next time."

"Thinking twice is not enough, you have to think six times."

"Will you be less talkative..."

"No."

"Why do you always bully your brother, say, why!"

"because I……"

At exactly 0 o'clock, the sound of firecrackers outside the window was even louder, drowning out the voices.

"What? Didn't hear clearly..."

"Happy New Year."

"what?"

The author has something to say:

What did Yin Sha say?
