security guard
21:02.
Lu Miao turned to the blank page of the diary and prepared to write.
She suddenly flipped back to the first page.
The contents of her diary changed——
This building stinks! It stinks everywhere! The guy next door is so noisy, I don't know what he's banging on, he's sick!
What horrified her was that there were a few large, scribbled words written on the following lines:
Did you see it?
You saw it!
Lu Miao quickly turned to the blank page.
The way the contents of the neighbor's diary are displayed may be random, so she does not think the diary is used for communication among residents.
In contrast, the floors occupied by new residents are not random.
"Above the fourth floor is very dangerous. The faster we crack it, the better."
Lu Miao quickly wrote the second diary entry:
It's scary here, when can we escape? Why is the sick neighbor running around and making the floor dirty?
The first sentence is just like everyone else; the second sentence is an experiment.
It's risky, but necessary.
She stared at what she had written for several minutes, but the content did not change. She closed the diary and walked to the wall and reached out to touch it.
Dry paint lines beneath her fingertips.
Then she put her ear to the wall and listened.
Gurgle...
There was a faint sound of flowing water from the water pipe in the wall, flowing from the upper floor to the lower floor.
Gurgle...
This time the sound came from the deer's stomach being broken.
She is hungry.
Wang Keke next door also found that the first diary he wrote had changed, and was puzzled.
The other party's handwriting was beautiful but shaky, and the content was strange:
So itchy.
What color are the walls?
Who can tell me?
She pushed the diary away in fear. "He can't even tell the color of the wall. This person must be contaminated! Hey, that's not right. Why are other residents' diaries displayed? Did my diary also slip into other residents' possessions?"
Oh no, so that’s it.
She kissed the blank page, leaving a purple lipstick mark, and wrote:
Beauty Appointment (Invoice Issuance)
Milk dogs, men/husbands, white-collar elites... only types you can't imagine. □□, let you experience the peak of life.
"This is real content. I have seen these small cards in the Red Street District." Wang Keke crossed her arms and stared at the written content.
The content has not changed.
She didn't hang up.
Nice.
Time passed by, and she still hadn't received the captain's whistle signal. She could only sit in the room and wait while reading the information printed by He Ping'an.
Gurgle...
She was stunned.
She is hungry.
He Pingan, who lives next door, read the changed diary content indifferently. It is meaningless and there is no need to remember it deliberately——
So hungry so hungry so hungry so hungry so hungry
He wrote on the next page:
Ding ding ding, ding ding ding
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Woo, woo, woo.
Meow, meow, meow
Please write the multiplication formula.
After writing, he waited for the captain's whistle signal.
Not long after, a crisp "ding" sound was heard.
Is the elevator coming? He walked behind the door cautiously.
After a moment of silence, heavy footsteps were heard coming this way.
Lu Miao put down the printed materials in his hand and glanced at Cat's Eye out of the corner of his eye.
Outside the cat's eye, a blue figure passed by without stopping.
The person outside walked all the way to the stairs, then turned back, passed through her peephole again, and walked to the end of the corridor.
The wandering footsteps seemed harmless and soon stopped near the elevator.
bite--
Soon, the corridor returned to calm.
After a moment, Lu Miao opened the door and went out, whistling in the temporarily safe corridor.
At this time, the bloody footprints were still on the corridor floor.
"Captain, who came over just now?" Wang Keke didn't dare to look at the peephole.
"The man in blue."
"Only security guards can use the elevator, so wearing blue clothes will turn you into a security guard, and security guards are already contaminated," He Ping'an analyzed.
"Well, I believe there will be a security room on the first floor." Lu Miao paused and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Wang Keke nodded. "I ate two hot dogs before I got here. This thing has a lot of calories, it's impossible for it to be digested so quickly."
Lu Miao had eaten a large plate of expensive fried rice before coming in, so there was no reason for him to be hungry so quickly.
They looked at He Pingan in confusion. "Aren't you hungry?"
He downplayed it: "I'm used to it. Being hungry has something to do with the apartment building. I saw other residents write in their diaries, complaining about being 'very hungry'. They wrote 'very hungry' six times in total."
Wang Keke swallowed reflexively. "Six hours to deliver meals is too long."
"Keke, stay rational," Lu Miao reminded coldly. "The hunger we feel may not be real hunger. There are 40 minutes left. Let's go downstairs now."
The clean stairs without a single piece of paper are refreshing compared to the dirty third floor.
The three of them had a smooth journey and arrived at the first floor.
The layout of the first floor was similar to that of the third floor, and there was no entrance or exit to the apartment building. If it weren't for the door to the security room diagonally opposite the staircase, they wouldn't have been sure this was the first floor.
In addition to the security room, there are six unit doors and an elevator on the first floor.
The doors of the security room and other apartments were a dark brown, and the snow-white walls reflected an eerie pearly glow under the fluorescent lights.
This layer is still filled with an unpleasant fishy smell.
Wang Keke hid by the door of the security room, with his fists ready to strike.
Lu Miao knocked on the door of the security room.
After knocking for a while, there was no response from behind the door.
She and He Ping'an rushed in directly, while Wang Keke stayed outside the door to keep watch.
At this moment, the elevator temporarily stops on the 8th floor.
"There are no blue clothes here." He Ping'an showed surprise for a rare moment.
Wang Keke, who was outside the door, poked her head in in astonishment. "No?"
Empty clothes hangers on clothes drying racks in the office.
Lu Miao examined the words written on the desk solemnly.
fraud!
fraud!
Don't
Don't
…
There's no way out!
We can't get out!
…
Different handwritings almost covered the entire surface of the desk, some of the words were blackened, and some of the words were written with dried blood.
He Pingan came over after counting the hangers. "There are 24 hangers in total. If no one hides the hangers, there are 24 blue clothes in total."
"Qingshui Apartment has a total of twelve floors, which means there are two quotas for people wearing blue clothes on each floor, provided that they are evenly distributed."
"The competition is very fierce and it's obviously impossible to divide it equally," said He Pingan.
"I care more about the blackened words. This situation happens frequently. All the words that violate the core of the rules are blackened." Lu Miao read the words on the table to Wang Keke who was outside the door.
He Pingan searched the desk.
The file storage rack on the desk was empty, and the desk had no drawers, but there was a piece of paper taped under the desk.
"Haha, the security work rules are hidden well enough." He finally peeled it off intact and placed it on the table.
The red letters glittering with gold powder faced them, full of fantasy.
"What did you write? Hurry up, the elevator has stopped at the 6th floor."
Lu Miao sped up his speech and read:
"1. Congratulations on becoming a member of the security guards. The blue clothes are the security uniforms. It is best not to take them off."
“2. You are not allowed to carry any keys with you.”
"3, please take the clipboard, paper and pen from the file storage rack and start patrolling."
"4. Meals will be delivered to residents at 0:00, 6:00, 12:00, and 18:00 every day. The pick-up area is on the 12th floor. Please arrive 15 minutes in advance."
“5. Remember your pick-up window is blue.”
"6. In order to facilitate residents' travel, you must take the elevator to reach the floor."
"7. If you receive complaints from residents while on patrol, please give them priority."
"8, please ensure that there are no more than two security guards patrolling each floor."
"9. When on patrol, if you encounter residents wandering around feeling unwell, please urge them to return to their apartments."
"10. When patrolling, if you hear voices or encounter a boy in red, please ignore him, do not look at him for more than 3 seconds, do not look back, do not talk, and leave immediately."
"11. If you encounter a security guard in red, please do not look at him for more than 3 seconds, do not turn around, do not talk, and leave immediately."
"12. If you find that the facilities in the building need repair, please find the administrator to repair it. Sometimes, the administrator will be on the negative 1 floor."
Wang Keke couldn't believe it: "This building has a negative 1st floor? There is no way down from the stairs to the first floor. We have to take the elevator to the negative 1st floor. Damn, the elevator stopped at the 5th floor!"
"I think the 12th floor is suspicious." He Pingan remained calm and pointed to Article 6. "Residents cannot communicate with security guards. How do security guards receive complaints from residents?"
"The diary of the resident."
Lu Miao's words were shocking, earning him astonished stares from the two men.
She said bluntly: "I did an experiment. I wrote in my diary that sick residents were wandering in the corridor, making the corridor floor very dirty, and then the security guards came to the third floor."
He Pingan and Wang Keke were silent for a moment, and the latter turned pale.
"It took about three minutes for me to finish writing and for the security guard to arrive on the third floor."
After Lu Miao finished speaking, Wang Keke's face turned even paler.
Lu Miao's eyes flashed coldly. "You see, there are only three of us staying on the third floor. The third floor was originally the cleanest, just like the first and second floors."
He Pingan scratched his hedgehog-like short hair in distress. "If we move in from the top to the bottom, I'm afraid all the residents from the 12th to the 9th floor will be wiped out."
The longer one stays in the field of ghost stories, the more likely one is to be mentally polluted and mutated.
What's more, it has been more than 24 hours, and the probability of survival for residents on high floors is not high.
Wang Keke's lips trembled: "Captain, fortunately you don't like gambling. I mean gambling in the casino."
Lu Miao shrugged and said something shocking again: "I can roughly guess what the black words say."
"What?"
“Don’t wear blue.”
He Pingan suddenly realized: "Security guards cannot carry keys. Once a resident becomes a security guard, he can no longer become a resident."
"That's right." What Lu Miao cared about was the message that said "liar".
The security guards’ 12 work rules are logically consistent with the residents’ rules and they support each other, which means there are no false rules.
"Cheater" can only refer to the hidden rules.
She didn't feel good about it.
They had already searched the simple security room, and when they walked out, they suddenly found that the numbers on the elevator display board began to jump.

The elevator temporarily stopped at the 3rd floor and they couldn't go upstairs now.
"Captain, we haven't found any clues to escape yet. Should we go to the 12th floor and the -1st floor to look for them?" Wang Keke was so nervous that her mouth was dry.
Both levels are dangerous.
The former is dangerous on the floor, and the latter is dangerous on the way there.
"Have you forgotten that there is a shortcut to escape? Although it is several times more dangerous than going to those two floors."
He Ping'an and Wang Keke's faces suddenly turned pale gold.
"Don't use shortcuts casually, haha..." Wang Keke's laughter was as good as crying.
Soon, she couldn't laugh anymore.
The elevator left the 3rd floor and went down.

grass!
There are no patrols on the second and first floors because no one lives there. Do you believe I will report you for being lazy?
"run!"
The three rushed up the stairs.
