"There was something else in the elevator besides me. It was this thing that pressed the number 3 on the elevator control panel."

A strong stench surged out from behind him, like an invisible giant hand grasping Chen Ge in its palm.

It became difficult to breathe, and suddenly there was a sound of a sliding carriage in the elevator car where he was the only one there.

The friction between the rough wheels and the metal floor made it feel like someone in the elevator was pushing a small cart back and forth.

"I checked with my Yin pupil. There are no people or evil spirits in this elevator, let alone a car. Could it be that I encountered something that even my Yin pupil cannot see?"

The Yin pupil came from the black phone, and was strengthened several times in the middle. During this time, Zhang Ya also blew a stream of Yin energy into Chen Ge's eyes. This talent is already very powerful and there is basically no possibility of it failing.

"What's standing behind me?"

The easiest way to find out the truth was to look back, but Chen Ge knew that curiosity killed the cat, so he clenched his teeth and remained motionless.

The stench became stronger and stronger. No one knew where the stench came from. It kept lingering around Chen Ge and trying hard to get into his body.

The elevator car was large, but as it moved upward, Chen Ge felt that the surroundings became increasingly crowded, and even breathing became increasingly difficult.

"Why does it feel like this empty elevator is packed with people?"

Chen Ge lowered his head and looked at the elevator control panel out of the corner of his eye. He didn't dare to move his eyes, for fear that he would see something he shouldn't see.

“So slow…”

The elevator car was closed and there was nowhere to escape. All Chen Ge could do was wait.

Under Chen Ge's gaze, the number on the elevator display finally changed, and the red number "1" turned into "2".

Just a few seconds seemed like a long night to Chen Ge.

"The elevator door is about to open!"

With all his muscles tensed, Chen Ge was worried that the elevator would not open on the second floor but go directly to the third floor.

The slowly rising elevator shook slightly, and then a slight sound came from the display screen, and the elevator stopped.

The silver-grey elevator door slowly opened, and at the same time a strong stench rushed towards Chen Ge, as if trying to push him deeper into the elevator car.

Without waiting for the elevator door to open completely, Chen Ge waved his hands and rushed out of the elevator!

He walked a few meters away before slowing down, standing in the corridor and looking back.

The silver-gray elevator door was slowly closing. There was nothing in the empty elevator car, and the pungent smell slowly disappeared as the elevator door closed.

"How come there is nothing here?" Chen Ge's eyes moved and he accidentally swept across the elevator floor. He could vaguely see stains on the ground, like human faces.

The elevator door closed completely, and the number on the external display screen changed from "2" to "3".

"It seems they all went to the third floor." Chen Ge was still holding the small prop he made in his hand. The prop was soaked with sweat. "Fortunately, I didn't throw it at the elevator door. If the elevator couldn't go up, the guys inside would definitely pester me."

After stuffing the props into his backpack, Chen Ge looked at the elevator with lingering fear: "It's safer to jump out of the window when we leave later. The second floor is not that high."

Before he figured out what the other party was, Chen Ge would never take the elevator again.

"Cheer up and follow the plan."

With his pupils narrowed, Chen Ge leaned against the wall, looking for the art room.

Coming to the second floor, Chen Ge felt even more uneasy. This building was different from any other building he had been to before.

He could sense that something was wrong in the building, but he couldn't tell what it was.

The only sound he could hear in the dark corridor was his own footsteps. After Chen Ge walked a few meters away, he discovered a very strange room.

"Duty room?"

"Why is there a duty room in the laboratory building? Does this place need someone to stay here at night? Is there something precious stored in it?"

Two questions popped up in Chen Ge's mind. The first was why there was a duty room in the laboratory building, and the second was why this duty room was built on the second floor instead of the first floor? Did the person on duty only need to guard the second floor?

"Is there anyone else in the duty room now?"

Chen Ge sneaked to the door of the duty room. He looked inside through the glass on the door. The room was simply furnished with only a bed, a wooden table, a chair and a large wardrobe that could accommodate two adults.

Gently turning the door handle, the door was not locked, Chen Ge pushed the door open and entered the room.

"The duty room should have information about this building. If we can confirm that the art room is not in this laboratory building, I will jump out the window and leave."

Chen Ge did not close the door. He walked to the closet first.

The wardrobe was unusually large, and Chen Ge was worried that someone might be hiding inside, so the first thing he checked was the wardrobe.

Holding the nail in his palm, Chen Ge slowly opened the door of the closet.

There were several sets of blue work clothes inside. Maybe Chen Ge accidentally touched them when he opened the cabinet door. At this time, the work clothes were swaying gently.

"The clothes are fine, but why is the place where the school name is printed on it torn off?" Chen Ge checked all the work clothes and found that all the patterns and words that could identify the school on the clothes had been cut off.

"School staff may all wear this kind of clothes." Chen Ge took out a set and stuffed it into his backpack: "When I go to the West Campus, I can pretend to be a school repairman."

After zipping up his backpack, Chen Ge did not close the closet door and continued searching the house for anything valuable.

He opened the drawer of the wooden table, and inside were some purchase and delivery records. All the product names and prices were replaced by symbols, which Chen Ge could not understand.

"Do you want to take the account book with you?"

Chen Ge thought about it and decided to give up. This bill would be of little use to him and might even get him into trouble.

There was nothing to be found in the room, so Chen Ge closed the drawer and prepared to leave. But when he turned around, he found that the wooden bed sheet had some wrinkles, as if someone had sat on it.

"Were the sheets wrinkled when I first came in?"

Staring at the wooden bed, Chen Ge felt more and more strange: "Normal beds are placed against the wall, why is this bed placed in the middle of the room? Not against any wall?"

Standing beside the bed, Chen Ge vaguely heard someone whispering. He looked at the sagging sheets, clenched the nails, and slowly bent over.

Grabbing a corner of the bed sheet, Chen Ge half-knelt and looked under the bed.

The wooden bed was placed in the center of the room, with nothing underneath it.

Chen Ge breathed a sigh of relief and was about to stand up, but his shoulder seemed to hit something.

He looked sideways and suddenly found two legs hanging at the head of the bed.

"who?!"

Chen Ge stood up suddenly, but there was no one sitting in the bed, and the two legs seemed to be visible only under the bed.

"I can't stay here anymore."

Chen Ge picked up his bag and left decisively. When he closed the door of the duty room, he clearly saw a red dress swaying gently in the closet.
