Chapter 074 The Shadow in the Corridor

That's all the information. After a brief discussion, the 32 "famous detectives" stood up and went out, using their own means to investigate.

The two girls who were discussing the peony flower purposely went around to An Ge and Yi Zai, smiled at them and gave them a wink, and then left hand in hand.

Yi Zai: "You blue face is a disaster!"

An Ge: "Have you learned how to strike first?"

Yizi smiled innocently and kindly.

Then they also left the meeting room and met Xianxian in the corridor.

Xianxian still couldn't hide her surprise, she didn't seem to be pretending, but it's not convenient to discuss this issue now, so she just said, "What a coincidence."

An Ge nodded, "Since we have met each other, let's act together and take care of each other."

Yizi agreed, and Xianxian also agreed.

After walking out, I found that the place where they had the meeting was the sales department of the small town of Fontainebleau.This is an office building located near the gate of the community, and also serves as the property headquarters.

Yizai was the first to step out of the glass door. It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon. The sun was shining brightly, and the flower beds on both sides of the building were full of colorful flowers. It was indeed May of the sea of ​​flowers.

The boy stretched happily, "Okay, then let's go, let's go to Wudong!"

An Ge looked at him, with a faint smile but not a smile.

Yizi showed a frustrated look: "Ah? Shouldn't you go?"

An Ge said, "Just kidding, let's go."

Xianxian frowned, looking a little hesitant: "Should I investigate other places first? For example, Wang Baolin's love history and so on. This kind of person has a peach blossom face, and there will definitely be many women around him. If I ask you, it is probably the beginning of the investigation." In the end, the chaos ends and the mess is messed around, too much scum will meet its retribution."

Yi Zai: "Your guess is guesswork, why do you keep staring at me?"

Xianxian snorted and turned her head away without speaking.

An Ge opened the map in the file bag and browsed through it: "I can't investigate any information outside. If you want to know more, you can only go in. And... I guess after going in, you can't get out without solving the incident, so We need to resupply first."

All three of them were carrying backpacks, packed some luggage that couldn't fit in the package, and had something to eat.However, An Ge thinks that to be prudent, at least everyone should bring food and water for three to five days, especially water, the more the better.

The three of them went to the only remaining small supermarket in the community to replenish supplies, and Yizai obediently bought a large bucket of water.But Xianxian couldn't figure it out, so he asked, "Why?"

An Ge: "After all, it is the scene after the fire. Water can overcome fire, so maybe it can be used."

Xianxian: Is it such a simple and rude way of thinking...

But she still accepted An Ge's suggestion, went to pick up the biggest bucket and threw it into the package.The same item can stack up to 20 in the package, so they each bought 20 five-gallon barrels of mineral water.

Coincidentally, several players were also restocking in the supermarket, and after hearing An Ge's suggestion, they followed suit to buy water, which was not expensive anyway.The clerks had to move water from the warehouse again and again, and turned a blind eye to the strange behavior of these detectives who bought so much water but could easily go out.

It is more than two kilometers away from the small supermarket to the fifth apartment building. When we arrived, it seemed that the strong wind brought thick clouds to block the sunlight, and the surrounding area became dark. chill.

The fifth building is surrounded by simple walls made of steel frames, thin wood boards and waterproof plastic sheets, and the iron gate at the entrance has been opened.Looking inside, it was dark, like the huge mouth of a monster.

Xianxian put his arms around his arms: "Really...do you really want to go in?"

An Ge hummed, "This is the home field. If you don't go in, you won't be able to break through. Let's go."

He took a step to leave, but was stopped by Yi Zai: "I'll go ahead."

An Ge cooperated, and said: "Then after I'm done, Xianxian will go in the middle."

The girl's ears were red, and she looked reluctant, but her timidity probably got the better of her, she finally followed Yi Zai and whispered, "Thank you..."

Three people lined up and filed in.

An Ge just walked into the iron gate when he heard someone behind him chuckle a few times. He immediately turned his head, but seeing that no one touched the iron gate, it creaked and closed automatically.

The sound of closing the door alarmed Yi Zai and Xianxian. Yi Zai turned back and held the handle of the iron door, twisted it a few times, then raised his foot and kicked it up. It is tightly closed and cannot be opened or kicked down.

An Ge tried to climb the wall again. The simple wall obviously had many steel frames for climbing, but it seemed that the outer layer was heavily oiled, so it was impossible to climb it no matter what.

Yi Zai spread his hands, "Sure enough, I can't get out."

It was also expected, and the three of them moved on.

The simple fence was only a dozen steps away from the fifth building. The door on the first floor was open, and many detectives had already gathered in the hall.Some saw them tossing about at the door, and greeted them with gloating eyes.

The design of the apartment building in the small town of Fontainebleau is that the lobby on the ground floor is called the zero floor, and the elevator goes up to the first floor.The two elevators go to rooms 101 and 102 respectively, and room 101 is the house where the fire started.

As for the reason why everyone gathered in the lobby, it was simple. Both elevators were broken.Players who have learned mechanical repair skills are fiddling at the door, but their faces are dignified and they say: It will take time to repair.

Yi Zai asked, "Then why don't you use the fire escape?"

He walked towards the fire escape next to the elevator, An Ge followed him and turned his head to look, his scalp felt numb.

There is a glass window on the upper half of the safety door of the fire escape, and the glass window is covered with black faces and hands, as if there are many people on the opposite side... "That thing" is crowded behind the safety door, scrambling to peek into the hall .

Yi Zai stretched out his hand to open the door as if he didn't see it, and a young man shouted: "Don't open the door!"

Yizi still smiled, grabbed the doorknob and pushed it in.

The man was furious and then roared: "Are you fucking deaf? Tell you not to drive, you idiot!"

The players in the hall were all ready to flee or fight, and two of the quick ones had already rushed out of the gate.

However, there was nothing behind the door, and the dim emergency lights quietly illuminated the stairs leading to the upstairs and underground car parks.

Yi Zai took out a napkin and wiped it behind the glass. Those lifelike black face outlines and finger prints were destroyed and turned into ordinary black stains.

The young man was also taken aback, cursed, and apologized frankly to Yizai: "I'm sorry buddy, I was also fooled by this thing."

Yizi smiled kindly and accepted his apology.

An Ge took the napkin from Yizai, carefully observed the black particles on it, "It looks like carbon ash..."

Xianxian covered her mouth with a gray face: "Could it be, those who didn't escape..."

Yi Zai took the napkin back and threw it on the ground: "The ghost face is pretty good. I think it was a prank or a performance art, which was drawn by someone who studied painting to scare people. We want to get closer to science. Right Brother Clay?"

An Ge covered his face: "Let's treat it like this..."

Then everyone was divided into two groups, one group decided to wait for the elevator to be repaired, and the other group decided to take the fire escape to go upstairs.

Xianxian resolutely chose to take the fire escape, reasoning that it would be more troublesome if the elevator was trapped.An Ge was deeply convinced.

About fourteen or fifteen people chose to take the fire escape.However, unlike novices, veteran drivers have their own small team and do not easily deal with unfamiliar players, so they only enter the stairs at a distance from each other.

An Ge and the others have only exchanged IDs with those two girls and the young man who apologized to Yizai.

The young man's ID is Guard X. The two girls, one named Han Bing Luoxia and the other Ha Lili Steamed Mantou, claimed to be partners.

They also chose to take the fire escape.

But guard X decided to go to the basement first, the two girls also chose to go to the basement, An Ge and the three decided to go straight up to Huanglong, and first went to Room 101, the source of the fire, to investigate.

The two sides parted ways at the fire escape.

When going up the stairs, Yi Zai was still joking: "Will there be an extra step? Or no matter how you walk, the stairs won't go out? Or..."

Xianxian covered her face: "You can be a human being! What kind of flag should you set up!"

Fortunately, after turning the stairs soon, the exit on the first floor appeared in front of everyone.

Xianxian heaved a sigh of relief, fearing that Yizi's words would come true, he hurried to push open the fire door, and all three of them went out.

The dim emergency lights illuminated the mottled and charred corridor, and the air was filled with a strong strange smell, which was damp and cold, with a complex burnt smell.

The three of them unanimously took out miner hats from their backpacks and put them on. The three lights illuminated the corridor a little bit, which made Xianxian feel more relaxed.

However, Yizi looked around and frowned, "It seems, it's too bad..."

An Ge also looked at one end of the corridor. The light from the miner's hat shone indefinitely, and the light disappeared into the seemingly endless darkness.

"If I remember correctly, there are only one or two houses on each floor, right?" An Ge asked, but he was just talking to himself, and didn't intend to listen to anyone's answer. It’s not just two.”

Xianxian stretched out his index finger tremblingly, and pointed at the doors lined up on both sides of the corridor, "No, not just...one, two, three, four..."

An Ge pressed her hand, "Stop counting."

Immediately, Xianxian fell silent, clenched his hands into fists and pressed on his chest.

"Six, seven, eight, nine..."

Yi Zai reminded her: "Brother Clay said, don't count."

Xianxian's face turned pale again, and she said with a crying voice: "No, it's not me..."

Yizai was stunned: "Who is that?"

And the voice continued to count unhurriedly: "Twelve, thirteen, fourteen..."

It was gloomy and cold, with what could be called a pleasant breathy voice, as if whispering close to the ear, as if rising from the bottom of the feet, and as if spying on the top of the head.

The immortals have already taken out an exorcism talisman - this is the highest quality consumable they can use at their current level, one hundred gold coins.As soon as he made a move, it was a magic talisman, as expected of a big brother.

But the talisman did not respond, and the compass that An Ge took out did not move. The voice was still counting in a gloomy manner, as if there was no end.

"31, 32."

The sound stopped suddenly, and then suddenly, like a sonic boom, harsh laughter exploded.Emergency lights and the lights on their miners' hats popped off in quick succession.The three fell into a thick and hopeless darkness.

The sound carried through the corridor, piercing the eardrum and nerves as if it had substance, causing severe stinging pain, and the three of them covered their ears desperately to endure.

However, the duration lasted only a few seconds, before Yizai had time to protect An Ge in his arms, the laughter stopped abruptly.

The corridor was unbelievably quiet, pitch black, except for their nervous panting.

Then Yizai threw away the broken miner's cap, fumbled to find a bright flashlight and turned it on, the dimmer light created a gloomy atmosphere, the darkness seemed to be twisted into various weird shapes and surrounded the surroundings, waiting for an opportunity To pounce on.

"Then, what the hell is... counting?" Xianxian was still in shock, and the magic talisman in his hand was almost crumpled into pieces of paper.

"32." An Ge said calmly while rubbing his still aching ears, "It's the number of all the detectives that Zheng Rongtian invited."

That is...the number of all players.

"What's the purpose of counting this? Could it be that you were so happy to count so many sacrifices today? This thing is really simple." Yi Zai laughed instead.

Xianxian was about to cry: "You...don't say it!"

An Ge ignored him, but also took out the flashlight and shone in the corridor. A black shadow flickered where the beam of light hit.
