Chapter 248 Supernatural Events in the Entertainment Industry (3)

"Ms. Chen, when you arrived at Jiali Building this morning, did you take the elevator alone?"

With the mood and atmosphere set, Lin Dong got straight to the point.

"Yes, I arrived at the building at 10:15 a.m. There weren't many people there at that time, and I was the only one in the elevator."

Chen Huixian tried to calm her frightened heart and recalled the series of strange events she had encountered today:

"But... I encountered something strange."

"Let me guess, did you press the 11th floor button, but the elevator went straight to the 15th floor?" Lin Dong smiled slightly.

"You...you know?"

Chen Huixian was no longer calm and stared at Lin Dong in astonishment.

"Also, when the elevator doors open, what you see isn't bright lights or a bustling office scene, but an empty, pitch-black floor, right?"

"Lin Dong, how do you know so much? Could it be... that you've encountered this before?"

This time, Chan Wai-han was completely shocked:

"The 15th floor is Zhouji Jewelry's accounting department. Today, when the elevator doors opened, I found the floor completely empty, dark, and with a faint smell of burning..."

"I was startled and quickly pressed the button to go back to the 11th floor."

"When I entered Baolijin, I specifically asked their staff if the 15th floor was under renovation. They said no."

As she spoke, Chen Huixian picked up the teacup on the table and nervously took a sip.

Her vivid description startled Qiu Shuzhen, who shrank back and stared pitifully at Lin Dong.

"I've always been a meticulous person since I was a child. Seeing that there were still about ten minutes before the official recording time, I went up to the 15th floor again."

After taking two large gulps of water, Chan Wai-han's voice still trembled uncontrollably:

"This time... I didn't take the elevator, but went up to the 15th floor through the emergency exit."

"As soon as I stepped out of the emergency exit, I was stunned. The 15th floor wasn't dark at all; there were so many people at work..."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Shuzhen's expression changed, and she grabbed her friend's arm tightly: "Sister Xian, don't scare me, I'm easily frightened..."

“I’m telling the truth! When I got back to the 11th floor, I told the people at Baolijin about it.”

Chan Wai-han's voice was long and drawn out, immersed in the emotions she had created:

"Of course they didn't believe me. Some even said I must be seeing things and didn't sleep well last night."

"But I clearly saw it, and I even smelled something burning. How could I be seeing things?"

"After we finished recording the song, when we were taking the elevator downstairs with you guys, I felt something strange again. I felt a chill all over my body, and it felt like something was moving in the elevator..."

Chiu Shu-chen screamed, her voice trembling with tears:

"Sister Xian, please stop talking, it's too creepy, boohoo..."

"She wasn't lying, it's true."

Lin Dong slowly picked up the teapot and poured himself half a cup of tea.

“Ms. Chen, there’s something wrong with the elevator in the Jiali Building. I also felt something was off when we went downstairs together.”

Lin Dong's words made the two women's expressions even more unpleasant.

"There are too many paranormal events in this world that cannot be explained by common sense."

"Ms. Chen, what you experienced today may be that you unintentionally stumbled into an unknown space-time."

"The dark, empty 15th floor you see may be real, but it represents a scene that will unfold in the future..."

The quick-witted Chen Huixian instantly understood the meaning behind Lin Dong's words, and with a start, she exclaimed in surprise:

"Mr. Lin, are you saying that a fire will break out in the Jiali Building in the future?"

Lin Dong nodded slowly, his tone slightly heavy: "That's right, and the casualties will be extremely severe."

"When...why will this happen?"

"Ms. Chen, it's best if you don't go to Jiali Building again in the last two months of the year."

"Um... Mr. Lin, isn't there any way to stop it from happening?"

Chen Huixian asked with a solemn expression, seemingly completely trusting Lin Dong's judgment.

The supernatural event she experienced today had a profound impact on her.

"Yes, Lin Dong, can't we think of a way to issue some necessary warnings?" Qiu Shuzhen was both scared and worried.

Lin Dong remained silent, pondering the matter, and simply sipped his tea.

He clearly remembered the news reports from his previous life:

One day in November 1996, a welding spark from elevator maintenance at the Ka Lee Building accidentally triggered a major fire that shocked the entire city of Hong Kong.

This disaster resulted in over a hundred deaths and injuries, and the raging fire burned for a full 20 hours.

The two major television stations on Hong Kong Island simultaneously broadcast the news live from the scene.

On the television screen, the building was burned down, and the living people were burned to ashes.

The deaths of countless people who jumped from buildings to escape but were tragically crushed by the falls are truly appalling...

Just over three months before the fire, Chan Wai-han was invited to appear on a television talk show.

During the program, she recounted her paranormal experience at the Jiali Building.

However, almost everyone took what she said at the time as a joke, and no one took it seriously.

Fate is a mysterious thing.

Lin Dong, who possesses memories of his past life, can foresee the course of most events.

But he also understands that interfering in history too frequently is not a good thing.

With so many places in the world, countless accidents happen every day. How much can one person intervene in?
