"Oh, it's already ten o'clock. Lily, I'm leaving first, see you tomorrow." Sister Yang packed up her things and left the office in a hurry.

Peng Lili looked up from the screen and stretched.In the huge 1801, she was the only one left.Her belly gurgled a few times, reminding her that she hadn't had dinner yet.Peng Lili took out her mobile phone and ordered a takeaway curry rice.His eyes were staring at the computer screen for more than ten hours, and his eyes were extremely dry, and his face, which was covered with a thick layer of base cream and foundation, was already greasy.After confirming the order, Peng Lili got up with her glasses case and cotton pads, and wanted to go to the bathroom to remove her makeup and replace her contact lenses.

Standing in the corridor and looking to the end, the lights in other offices had already been turned off, and she was the only one left on the whole floor.Turning on the faucet in the bathroom to remove the thick foundation, Peng Lili sighed as she looked at her haggard face in the mirror due to continuous overtime work. "Hey, I really brought it on myself."

Recently, the company's Fengshui APP needs to be revised, and the design task is very heavy.Peng Lili volunteered to be the chief designer, just to have more meetings with Li Yifan.

She skillfully opened her eyelids, pressed her two fingers against her pupils, and squeezed lightly, a piece of transparent contact lens was detached from the surface of the eyeball and lay quietly on her fingertips.

"Hahaha, now I'm a ghost, come and catch me..." Suddenly there was a child's laughter outside the bathroom door, and two small figures flashed past the door.

"Who is it?" Peng Lili still held a piece of contact lens in her hand, and chased out in a hurry. She vaguely saw two children chasing and playing at the end of the corridor. When she saw Peng Lili, she held hands and hid in a nearby room. office.

"Which family's child came to play in the building so late? Why don't you hurry home?" Peng Lili raised her voice, not sure if they heard it.As soon as she finished speaking, Peng Lili felt wrapped in a chill, rubbed her arms, and hurried back to the air-conditioned office.

At the other end of the corridor, two small heads poked out from the door, and four black eyes quietly looked in the direction of 1801.

This is the first time for Xiao Zhang, the delivery boy, to deliver food in Best Building. He just walked into the lobby on the first floor, and was stopped by someone within two steps: "Do you want to deliver food? Which floor do you go to?"

Xiao Zhang turned his head and saw a small security guard standing at the door of the next room. "Yes, I'll go to the 18th floor." Xiao Zhang held up the takeaway bag in his hand, with a flattering smile on his face.

"Come here to register." The security guard pointed to the window next to him.

"Eh, good,"

Xiao Zhang hurried over and filled out the simple personal information, and the little security guard nodded and let him go. "Go up, the elevator is over there."

The elevator ascended steadily and soon reached the 18th floor.The elevator door opened, and Xiao Zhang was about to go out when he suddenly saw a five or six-year-old girl standing at the door, holding a little boy who was a head shorter than her by the hand. "Are you going to take the elevator?" The unprepared Xiao Zhang jumped out of the elevator and let the door out.

The two children raised their heads and stared fixedly at his face.

"Sister, is that him?" the little boy asked childishly.

"No," said the girl, "he's not Daddy."

"If I were your father, wouldn't I be Xi Dang's father?" Xiao Zhang laughed out loud after he finished speaking, but the two children looked at him coldly with blank faces.Xiao Zhang put away his smile in embarrassment, and suddenly thought that he should hurry to deliver food.

There is only one person in the whole 1801, so I don't worry about sending it wrong. "Ma'am, your takeaway." Xiao Zhang walked to Peng Lili's desk and held the takeaway in front of him with both hands.

Peng Lili stared at the screen intently, without even looking at him. "Put it on the table."

"Hey, good." Xiao Zhang put away the takeaway, and begged Peng Lili cheekily: "Ma'am, our assessment is very strict recently, can I trouble you to order a five-star praise?"

It was fine if he didn't speak, but when Peng Lili said it, she became angry, threw the mouse on the table, pointed at Xiao Zhang's nose and cursed: "You have the nerve to ask me for a good review? Check the time yourself, It's almost eleven o'clock! I'm almost starving to death here, and you're still laughing outside? I don't give you a bad review, I'm really showing mercy today!"

Xiao Zhang was so frightened by her sudden outburst that he didn't dare to breathe out, and bowed several times in succession. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just teased the children outside..."

Peng Lili picked up the mouse and snorted. "Don't bother me, get out now."

Xiao Zhang quickly escaped from the office, and as soon as he went out, he saw the two children standing at the elevator door, holding hands and looking at him together.Xiao Zhang suddenly got skin bumps all over his body.The two children were pale and stood expressionless, like classic scenes in horror movies.

Xiao Zhang was stunned for a moment, and stood still, not daring to move forward.Just when he was at a loss, the voice-activated light in front of the elevator suddenly went out, and the figures of the two children were immediately engulfed in darkness.Xiao Zhang yelled "Wow" in fright.The lights turned on again, and Peng Lili's sharp voice came from 1801: "Why don't you leave, what's your name! You scared me to death!"

But to go downstairs, you have to take the elevator.Xiao Zhang stared down at the floor, and quickly passed the two children, not daring to glance over.

After finally getting into the elevator, Xiao Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief.Looking up, the two children came over at some point and stood side by side at the elevator door, still staring at him intently.

Xiao Zhang was so frightened that he almost cried, desperately pressed the door close button, and finally reached the first floor, trotting all the way, wishing to leave here immediately.

Zou Hao and Zheng Cheng had just unpacked a bag of spicy strips and watched the delivery guy rush past. "Hey, are you finished? Do you want spicy strips?" Zou Hao shouted at him.

Xiao Zhang wanted to leave, but he was reluctant to part with the spicy strips, so he hesitated for a while, and went back to the security room.He took the spicy sticks from Zou Hao, ate half of them, and then complained to Zou Hao: "Your building is too scary, I will never accept orders from here again."

"Scary?" Zou Hao looked at Xiao Zhang thoughtfully. "Did I...was I being too fierce to you just now?"

"Oh, it's not you, it's the 18th floor." Xiao Zhang explained.

"What happened to the 18th floor?" Zou Hao asked quickly.The incident of stealing lipstick last week was also on the 18th floor.

"I just went up, and there are two children who have been staring at me. What are you talking about, I'm not their father?" As he said, Xiao Zhang took another spicy stick out of his bag.

"It's so late, how can there be children? Don't get lost." Zou Hao turned to Zheng Cheng. "Zheng Cheng, you go up and have a look?"

Zheng Cheng shrank back, shaking his head like a rattle. "I won't go, I won't go. The 18th floor, Ximener."

"Forget it, I'll go." Zou Hao grabbed his flashlight and went straight to the 18th floor.

Xiao Zhang took a spicy stick at the end, and deeply agreed with Zheng Cheng's point of view: "Brother Security, you are right. It is evil!"

After getting out of the elevator on the 18th floor, Zou Hao checked the offices one by one. "Hello, is anyone there? Are there any children?" The lights in the office had long been turned off, and every door was locked. Only the door of 1801 on the entire floor was still lit, revealing light.Zou Hao walked in, and there was no one inside, only the screen of a computer was still on.

"Is anyone there?" Zou Hao called again, but still no one answered.He walked to the computer, and there were a few unfinished design drawings hanging on the screen, and a takeaway that he had just eaten two bites was placed next to the keyboard.

"This is really strange, where did the person go..." Zou Hao wanted to go to the corridor to search again, but just as he reached the door, he bumped into an unknown object head-on.Taking a closer look, it turned out that it was Peng Lili who was about to enter the door.

Peng Lili screamed in fright and covered her chest. "Zou Hao, are you sick? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

Zou Hao was also taken aback, and took two breaths before recovering. "The takeaway guy just said that there are two children upstairs here, I'll look for them."

"There were two children just now, I saw that too," Peng Lili looked around in the corridor, "I should have gone home by now."

"Oh, that's good. Then I'll go down. If you see them, call the security room." Before entering the elevator, Zou Hao took one last look at the other end of the corridor, and there was indeed no one there.

At the end of the corridor, in the cubicle containing cleaning tools, two children were squatting in a dark corner.

"Hush." ​​The little girl raised a finger and said to her brother. "It's peek-a-boo time."

The little boy nodded obediently.In the darkness, the two children squatted side by side, silent.

A few days later, when we were having breakfast together at a soymilk stand on the street before going to work, Zheng Cheng shared some supernatural gossip he had heard from nowhere: "Hey, Brother Hao, I recently heard that Aunt Liu is raising little ghosts."

"Aunt Liu? Raising little ghosts?" Zou Hao shook his chopsticks, and a piece of fried dough stick fell into the bowl, splashing several drops of soy milk on his pants.The last time Zou Hao heard this word was in the countryside. According to his grandmother who had never received a scientific education, the crazy woman in the next village raised little ghosts when she was young. Unexpectedly, she was not enough mana, and she was counterattacked, and her family was ruined.Aunt Liu is usually capable in her work and has a hot temper. She is not at all like someone who would believe in these feudal dross.

"Yeah, can't you tell?" Zheng Cheng lowered his voice with a mysterious expression on his face. "A cleaning aunt who did not want to be named told me that she had recently seen Aunt Liu talking to people in the cubicle where the mop and broom were placed. But there was no one there at all!"

"Hey, you kid." Zou Hao tapped Zheng Cheng on the head with his chopsticks. "You don't even dare to go to the 18th floor. It's very exciting to spread these rumors."

Zheng Cheng bared his teeth in pain and covered his head. "Brother Hao, haven't I just had a mouthful!"

Zou Hao put down his chopsticks with a serious expression: "Hey, seriously, do you know what happened to Aunt Liu's house recently?"

Zheng Cheng immediately leaned over, thinking that there was more gossip to listen to: "What is it?"

"I don't know, I'm asking you." Zou Hao stared at the Baishi Building not far away, thoughtful. "I'm wondering if Aunt Liu has been stimulated by something and she's not in a good mood...I have to talk to her."
