Entering the elevator, Chen Ge pressed the number 23 on the control panel. He wanted to go to the 23rd floor first.

The silver-gray elevator door slowly closed, as if it was isolated from the outside world.

Chen Ge's breathing became rapid. He himself didn't like taking the elevator very much. It was not because he had claustrophobia, but he just didn't want to be confined in a narrow environment.

The numbers on the display kept changing without any pause.

"It seems that the situation in the building is the same as what Wang Xin's adoptive mother said. Residents here rarely take the elevator at night."

It rises at a constant speed and the number on the display changes to "23".

The prompt sounded and the silver-gray elevator door opened to both sides.

The light coming out of the elevator illuminated an area four or five meters away before being swallowed up by darkness. The corridor was pitch black, with tightly closed security doors on both sides.

"Already reached the top floor?"

The 23rd floor looks no different from the other floors, except that the windows at the end of the corridor seem to be not closed tightly, and you can hear the whistling sound of wind.

"It feels a bit strange to be alone in an elevator at night."

After the elevator door closed, Chen Ge pressed the number "2" on the control panel again.

The elevator began to descend and reached the second floor smoothly.

"Why did the Ghost Story Association design these? Can we really find the extra 24 floors by taking the elevator back and forth?"

After the elevator door closed, Chen Ge went to the 22nd floor.

The speed of the elevator changes when it starts and stops, causing a brief period of weightlessness or overweight. This is why some people feel dizzy and nauseous when riding in an elevator.

Chen Ge was in good physical condition, but after riding the elevator up and down for nearly five minutes, he felt a little uncomfortable. His heart was beating very fast and he couldn't calm down. He always felt that something was going to happen.

After repeating this several times, Chen Ge felt annoyed, and he couldn't explain why.

The elevator returned from the 18th floor to the 7th floor, and then he pressed the button for the 17th floor.

There were no accidents during the whole process, and the method of recording in the Ghost Story Association's flyers seemed more like a psychological game.

The elevator rose at a constant speed, and the numbers on the display kept changing. Soon the elevator slowed down again, and the silver-gray elevator doors slowly opened to both sides.

Chen Ge raised his head and glanced outside the door. There was nothing in the corridor and it seemed that all the residents in the building were asleep. It was very quiet.

"Luckily, I haven't met anyone. I just need to repeat it a few more times and then I can try to go to the 24th floor." Chen Ge was already accustomed to this process. When he pressed the elevator button, his eyes inadvertently swept across the display screen. The numbers glowing with a faint red light made his arm freeze in mid-air.

"16?"

He clearly pressed the button for the 17th floor, and the button representing the 17th floor on the elevator control panel was still lit, but the elevator inexplicably opened on the 16th floor.

"Someone got on the elevator on this floor!"

Bending down, with his right hand hanging down, he touched the butcher knife at his calf. Chen Ge stared at the empty elevator, keeping a high level of vigilance.

The corridor outside was pitch black and I couldn't see the scene ten meters away. It was dead silent all around and I couldn't hear any sound.

"Could it be a child's prank?"

This thought flashed through Chen Ge's mind, but was quickly dismissed.

After a few seconds, the silver-grey elevator door slowly closed. Chen Ge looked at the empty elevator and dared not relax any more. There was a high possibility that there was someone else standing next to him whom he could not see.

Chen Ge reached into his pocket with his left hand, took out his cell phone and checked the time. It was 00:01, and it was already Wednesday.

The elevator continued upwards and stopped on the seventeenth floor.

Chen Ge leaned against the elevator wall and pressed the button for the eighth floor, but not long after, another accident happened.

The elevator, which was descending at a constant speed, stopped on the eleventh floor. After the elevator door opened, Chen Ge found a white dress hanging in the middle of the corridor.

"Something else is coming up?" There was no wind in the corridor, but the skirt swayed back and forth as if it was floating towards the elevator.

Taking a step forward, Chen Ge quickly pressed the elevator door closing button.

The dress outside was fluttering faster and faster, like a person running in the corridor.

“Close the door!”

When the white skirt was still two or three meters away, the elevator door closed and continued to move downward.

Chen Ge leaned against the corner, his palms full of cold sweat. From a certain moment on, this building became different.

The elevator reached the eighth floor safely, and Chen Ge stayed on this floor for a while.

According to the introduction on the flyer, he should go to the sixteenth floor now, but the elevator must pass the floor where the woman in the white dress is to go to the sixteenth floor.

He was worried when the elevator opened by itself on the eleventh floor and the woman in the white dress was standing outside waiting for him.

His finger paused on the control panel for a long time, and he finally pressed it: "If it's a red dress, forget it, but there's no need to be afraid of a white dress."

Reaching out to hide the ballpoint pen in his sleeve, Chen Ge kept comforting himself: "I have the Pen Fairy and Xu Yin with me. If it dares to come in, don't blame me for bullying the minority with my numbers."

The elevator continued to go up, and when it was about to reach the eleventh floor, Chen Ge's heart began to tighten.

However, to his surprise, the elevator did not stop at the eleventh floor this time. The numbers slowly changed, and before Chen Ge could breathe a sigh of relief, the elevator stopped at the thirteenth floor.

"Is there anyone else coming in?"

The silver-gray elevator door slowly opened, and an old lady wearing black clothes and a thick scarf stood outside.

She looked very old, with wrinkles on her face like bean curd, silver hair, and her hands and feet were all covered by clothes.

The other party didn't seem to expect that there would be someone in the elevator and stood outside in a daze for a moment.

"Strange..." She spoke in a low voice and did not enter the elevator until the door began to close.

"Why are there so many people taking the elevator so late at night? It's almost impossible to squeeze in."

After Chen Ge heard what the old woman said, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He had originally planned to use his numbers to bully the minority, but now it seems that the situation has changed.

"No wonder the Pen Fairy is so honest and has no reaction at all. This guy didn't even give me any hints."

Glancing around, he was clearly the only one in the elevator. But recalling the old lady's words, Chen Ge's heart beat even faster.

"Something must have gone wrong. Even in Ward 3, I have never been this nervous." Chen Ge forced himself to remain calm, but his brain seemed to be stimulated by something invisible, continuously sending out signals to pay attention to danger.

"There's something wrong with this old lady. She went out in the middle of the night wearing all black and a scarf. Is she that cold?"

After meeting the old lady, the elevator never had any problems again. It seemed to be just as she said. The elevator was now packed with people and people outside couldn't get in.
