"I've worked here for so long and I've never heard of this before." Xiao Wang seemed worried that Cen Yu wouldn't believe him, so he continued, then thought for a moment, "It's probably a lie."

Cen Yu leaned back in his office chair, looking at his computer screen.

“I just went to find my roommate, but I couldn’t get up the emergency exit.”

Xiao Wang didn't understand Cen Yu's meaning at first, but after a moment he realized, "You mean we can't get up there?"

"Yes, the emergency exit is blocked."

"It says 'No Entry' above."

"That's a bit strange," Xiao Wang said. "But I don't know anyone from their company, otherwise I could go up and ask."

"Why don't you send a message to your friend and ask him to come down and pick you up?"

Cen Yu thought to himself, he originally wanted to sneak up and find out some information, how could he have notified Li Chonghe in advance?

Seeing that Xiao Wang seemed to be busy with something else, Cen Yu started searching online again, but this time he wasn't searching for his own office building, but for news about Gu Hanyin.

The other party did not use a pseudonym; they used their own name.

Indeed, you can find some of his screenwriting works by searching his name, and Cen Yu also found his social media account, which hasn't been updated in a long time.

But about six months ago, Gu Hanyin seemed to have released a short drama online, which reportedly had good viewership.

Could it be that Gu Hanyin died suddenly within six months? Or was the script written in advance...?

Cen Yu looked at the various news reports on the screen, and for a moment he was also a little unsure.

"I'm not feeling well, I need to take a day off," Cen Yu said to Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang glanced at him and asked, "Huh?"

"oh."

"Are you not feeling well?" Xiao Wang said. "I have a special medicine..." As he spoke, he rummaged through his drawer.

Cen Yu looked at the paper bag containing powder that the other person had taken out with a subtle expression—

"never mind."

"Need not."

"I have medical insurance and money."

As Cen Yu was speaking, he clocked out early. Perhaps because it was during working hours, he was the only person in the elevator. Shortly after Cen Yu entered the elevator, it began to slowly descend... However, when it reached the 16th floor, the entire elevator suddenly stopped.

The elevator doors opened just like that.

However, there was no one outside the elevator, probably because it was lunchtime and the corridor lights were not on.

Compared to the overly bright elevator, the elevator corridor in front of us seemed rather gloomy.

The elevator in this building has no number buttons, only open and close buttons. To go downstairs again, you have to leave the elevator and swipe your card again on the electronic screen near the elevator door to enter your floor number.

Cen Yu stood still in the elevator because he saw the red rope at the elevator entrance—

Just as Cen Yu was about to close the door and call the police, someone suddenly reached out and blocked the elevator.

"Don't close the door!!"

As he spoke, the man hurriedly squeezed into the elevator. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "This damn elevator assigned me the wrong door again, so I had to run over from the other side."

He looked at Cen Yu and asked, "Are you from the company upstairs?"

“Hmm.” Cen Yu stood on the side of the elevator buttons.

After the other person entered, the elevator doors closed quickly, and the elevator continued to descend.

"What was that red rope just now?" Cen Yu asked.

"That?" The man waved his hand dismissively. "We just happened to be having our opening ceremony today... that's why we put together these things."

"And have you heard about that?" he said, glancing at Cen Yu mysteriously. "This building isn't very clean."

"I've heard that people often end up on floors they've never seen before."

"So they say that red ropes ward off evil spirits, and it's better to be a little superstitious when you first arrive."

He kept talking incessantly, while Cen Yu just watched the numbers on the screen above his head constantly changing.

"You've heard about this too?" Cen Yu asked, looking up at the screen.

“Yes,” the man said, wiping the sweat from his brow.

“And in this world now…” the man said, shaking his head, “I can’t say.”

"Now that there are so many of those things in the world, some people have the idea that the dead can be resurrected."

As he spoke, the elevator had already arrived at the first floor.

"But things from that world can't be forced."

Cen Yu looked at him, "What you mean by the dead coming back to life?"

“It’s not that the supernatural has descended, but many people think that this allows them to see the dead, the people they miss… so they’ve resorted to some crooked and evil methods.” The man seemed to find the topic unlucky, and as he spoke, he walked out of the elevator. “Anyway, I feel that this is ultimately not the right way.”

"When a person is gone, they're gone."

He said that and left the elevator corridor... By the time Cen Yu left the elevator, the other person had already disappeared.

Cen Yu walked to the lobby of the building and looked at the companies on each floor.

The 16th floor was empty; it appeared that no companies had moved in.

There are companies on the 31st and 32nd floors.

...

When Cen Yu returned home, there was no one in the room.

He had already seen Yu Xinyu's room, so without hesitation, he opened Li Chonghe's room directly.

The other person's room also had things; it wasn't as empty as Gu Hanyin's.

But Cen Yu still felt something was wrong... He closed the door and sat in the living room. The windows in the living room were still broken, but they had been wrapped with several layers of yellow tape.

As he was pondering, the front door of the house opened, and Gu Hanyin walked in from outside.

He was carrying some things, which looked like he had bought them at the supermarket.

Upon seeing Cen Yu, his expression showed some surprise.

"I wasn't feeling well, so I came back early," Cen Yu said casually.

He thought Gu Hanyin wouldn't react much, but to his surprise, her expression changed drastically, and then she quickly walked over... Perhaps realizing that his behavior was too abrupt, he slowed down.

When he reached Cen Yu's side, he simply bent down and looked at Cen Yu, "Where do you feel unwell?"

"I feel a little dizzy," Cen Yu said casually. "It's probably a cold."

Then Cen Yu noticed that Gu Hanyin seemed to relax a bit after he said those words.

"Then you should get some rest."

He then put down the shopping bag in his hand, and slowly tidied up the things and put them in the refrigerator.

Cen Yu watched Gu Hanyin's retreating figure, pondered for a moment, and then simply stood up from the sofa. "I'm going out for a bit."

"do what?"

Let's go out for a walk.

Cen Yu said.

...

Half an hour later, Cen Yu left the rented room and went to the library.

He just checked and found that the library has all the newspapers from the past ten years to the present.

If his previous guess was true, then Gu Hanyin, Li Chonghe, and Yu Xinyu were clearly three people with completely different identities and experiences.

Why then did they end up together in this rented room after they died?
