Chapter 16 Zi Buyu heard that Ginkgo Building did not have a 14th floor
@Wen Ruojie: Due to some minor script issues, filming has been delayed. I hope to see Princess Qingning soon. I'm honored to be playing her! ~P.S. Thank you to all the fans for your concern. All is well with the Wangxiantai team! @Zhang Huai @Yin Chuan @Jiang Bei @Chen Songling @Shanlan
Shanlan: Being tagged by Sister Ruo, I've definitely made it. I'll go to Changfeng Temple to fulfill my vow someday~ [snickering]
[I Only Love My Sister Ruo: Baby, I'm glad you're okay. I heard the body of a missing internet celebrity was found by villagers down the mountain. They located her right next to the crew. I was so worried!]
User 1211: I hope the crew will strengthen their safety awareness and avoid accidents like the one at the opening ceremony.
[Little Squirrel Chen: Who are those three people in the middle taking a selfie with my brother? [Question]]
In the nine-grid picture released by Wen Ruojie, in addition to the actors' behind-the-scenes footage and group photos, there is also a selfie of Chen Songling holding a mobile phone.
Chen Songling only showed his eyes and nose bridge at the bottom of the photo. The person in the middle behind him was leaning on a folding mop. The only visible right eye was dark blue and he glanced at the camera lifelessly.
The woman in black and white gown next to her hooked her neck, smiled brightly and made a "V" sign.
On the far left is a short-haired Taoist priest, who inadvertently reveals the QR code on his mobile phone.
Later, it was discovered by curious netizens that it was actually a bunch of advertisements for exorcising ghosts and evil spirits.
So weird.
This isn't some soft advertisement, is it?
Terms such as #Supernatural incidents on the set of Wangxiantai#, #The truth behind the mysterious death of the internet celebrity at Gongzhuling#, and #The crew invites a Taoist priest to perform a ritual# were rushed to the top of the hot searches, but half an hour later, they were removed one by one by a mysterious force.
Meng Caiyun raised his eyebrows in understanding as he held his phone. "The relevant departments have come to the rescue."
In terms of online public opinion, the Bureau of Counterfeiting also has specialists responsible for maintaining it. If there are still people with inside information who maliciously spread content that causes panic, they will be "invited to the bureau" to have free breakfast for a few days.
Wang Fengxu checked the APP background to see if his part-time salary had arrived.
He casually asked, "It's still a long time before the temple fair next month. What are you doing during this time?"
Meng Caiyun stretched lazily and said, "After I finish this, I'll go to Fengcheng with my dad."
On the crew's side, Deputy Director Lin originally insisted on his atheism, but after this incident he reshaped his values and even began to suspect that his home was unclean, and insisted that Meng Caiyun help him exorcise the evil spirits.
Zhang Huai was even more exaggerated. Ever since he knew that the disaster was caused by the script, he pulled a few people to set up the sacrificial altar again, vowing to restore the historical truth and not let the heroic spirits down.
However, what they didn't know was that behind the altar, a faint figure really appeared. He was wearing red clothes and a purple ribbon. He raised his hand to salute everyone, and then disappeared in the wisp of green smoke.
Of course, Meng Caiyun did not tell others that the real culprit was actually the characterless note that caused the resentment.
If a mere script could incite the wrath of ghosts, half of the film crews in the world would have died there.
Wang Fengxu sighed deeply, "It would be great if I could make a fortune too—Mr. Zhou was so stingy last time that he owed me the final payment for three months."
"By the way," Meng Caiyun pulled him over and lowered his voice, "Are you really going to sign up for the martial arts performance at this temple fair?"
Wang Fengxu squinted at her and said, "Isn't it rude to ask me, someone who's always been at the bottom, about this?"
Meng Caiyun smirked twice: "I'm anxious."
After a while, the two of them turned their gazes to Long Zhu on the side.
"Why don't you ask her if she wants to go?"
"If you want to ask, ask. Don't hurt me."
"—Rock, Paper, Scissors!"
"I won."
"You cheated."
"Don't cheat!"
…
Long Zhu was still thinking about the "Ting Jiang" he met yesterday.
At that time, Meng Caiyun went to investigate alone, while Long Zhu noticed that several pairs of eyes were quietly approaching him from a few feet away.
Unlike the "feeling of being watched" in the forest before, the malice emanating from the peeping this time was rich and strong.
It was the feeling she hated the most.
So without thinking, she flew straight to the source of the gaze.
Along the way, dead branches drooped and thorns broke, and nothing could stop her wherever she went.
Just as she raised the mop high and was about to smash it down on the head of the culprit, the strange man actually shook his head and made a hoarse sound from his mouth, forming words.
"...Ms. Long, nice to meet you."
"I am Song Yuqu from the Sanxi Sect..."
At the same time, thousands of miles away in Langang.
In the forest of buildings, in front of a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the world, a woman gently holds a wine glass, the shaking dark red wine reflected in her pupils.
The suit was neatly tailored, making her shoulders look straight and her aura majestic.
She continued to speak to the air: "You are involved in the celebrity disappearance case, right?"
"I think I have something here that might interest you."
"...Here's my business card. Let's have a drink together sometime."
On the other side, Long Zhu took an exquisite card pressed with gold foil from General Ting.
The mouth in front of him, half sewn shut with red thread, was still opening and closing, like the gills of a fish accidentally stranded on the shore, struggling to flutter, and forming a final farewell: "You are always welcome at Sanximen."
After saying that, the messy red thread seemed to come alive, squirming and stitching madly, filling the little space left in the mouth.
Long Zhu held the business card in one hand, glanced at the miserable scene of the struggling general, and gave him a quick death.
A new message popped up on the phone in my pocket at the right time.
New job posting: Floor cleaner on the first floor of Langang Ginkgo Building, daily pay.
-
It has been a week since the news broke that missing internet celebrity Luo Zheng was murdered.
Although the police concluded that he "accidentally fell to death after trespassing into an undeveloped area", another version of the story was being widely spread in the major paranormal exploration groups that Luo Zheng participated in during his lifetime.
[Ghost Fairy: Luo Zheng's death wasn't a natural one, but rather he came into contact with something he shouldn't have! Do you know the Ginkgo Building in Lan Port?]
[User does not exist: Maitian District Ginkgo Building? I passed by it the day before yesterday. Didn't they say it's been abandoned for a long time? The lights on the middle floors were still on. I was so scared that I stepped on the accelerator.]
[Ghost Fairy: The middle floors 4 to 14 were rented to a company two years ago, but if you go in, you'll notice there's no 14th floor in their elevator.]
My friend and I went there during the day, and there really isn't a 14th floor! But if you count from the outside to the 14th floor, you can see a person!
[Bizarre: Could that actually be the 15th floor in the elevator? Many places avoid the number 14.]
[Xiaoguai Buguai: But I counted them and they have 24 floors, and the elevator only goes up to the 24th floor. If they're just avoiding numbers, then there should be a 25th floor, right? Where did the missing floor go?]
[Goblin Fairy: I once broadcast with Luo Zheng at the Ginkgo Building. For the sake of show effect, we took the elevator separately, but only he made it to the 14th floor!]
[Life is full of suffering: It feels a bit scary~]
[User does not exist: Damn! I searched the live broadcast replay, and the host had a black screen once in the middle, and then came back and said he had been to the 14th floor. It was so scary!]
[Xiaoguaibuguai: Is anyone in the group going? Preparing for a live stream tonight, looking for teammates!]
Sun Jie shouted for a long time in the supernatural adventure group, and finally someone with the ID [Mengmeng Dad] contacted him.
In fact, [Ghost Fairy] and [Xiaoguai Buguai] are both his nicknames.
He had indeed worked with Luo Zheng before, but regarding the matter of the 14th floor, it was just an agreement between the two parties to work together to achieve the effect.
Luo Zheng encountered an accident. Although he felt regretful, he did not forget to grab some traffic.
As he expected, the number of people in the [Xiaoguai Buguai] live broadcast room has gradually exceeded 800.
Maitian District, Langang City.
Although this place is outside the Third Ring Road, the terrain is quite high. From a distance, you can see the bustling city center.
The Ginkgo Building was built in the architectural style of more than ten years ago. No one worked overtime in the company except at night, and the whole building was dead silent. Only the safety passage sign flashing green could be vaguely seen.
Sun Jie waited for "Meng Meng's Dad" outside the gate. He was a muscular man of 1.8 meters tall, with an unshaven beard and a lollipop stick in his mouth.
"Family, we're at the entrance of Ginkgo Building," Sun Jie greeted, holding up a selfie stick. "Hey, thank you for the sports car sent by 'Life is Hard'!"
The two men easily jumped over the gate railings, climbed in through the window outside the guard room, and then climbed into the building through another window.
Sun Jie greeted the other party: "Brother, what's your name?"
The burly man absentmindedly dusted off his hands and looked around: "Ruan Meng."
Suddenly, his eyes fixed on something: "Is there anyone else?"
Sun Jie was startled to see a tall girl with short hair mopping the floor back and forth next to him.
Ruan Meng walked over and patted the girl's shoulder: "Hello, are you still busy so late?"
The girl looked up when she heard that. Her bangs on the left side covered half of her face, her right eye was dark, and her emotions remained calm.
She stood up and took out a gold foil business card that read: Sanxi Debt Optimization Service Co., Ltd., Executive Director, Song Yuqu.
"Do you know this person?"
Sun Jie confirmed that the other person was alive, then he leaned over and said, "We're not working here. It's already this late, why aren't you going home?"
Long Zhu: "After finishing this order, I still need to find someone."
She put the business card back in her pocket and went back to cleaning.
A bunch of barrages floated across the live broadcast room.
[It's really sad to come to this kind of hellish place to clean just to make money. I feel like I'm asking for trouble...]
[Am I the only one who thinks this girl is creepy? ]
The elevator door dinged open, revealing a dark cabin covered in disturbing scratches.
Long Zhu also put away the mop, wrung out the water and shook it, then walked into the elevator with the two of them.
Sun Jie put the camera close to the elevator button and said, "Look, everyone, there really isn't a 14! How do we get up there?"
Long Zhu looked at the address on the business card, pondered for a moment, and actually walked up and pressed the buttons for the 15th floor and the -1st floor at the same time.
The elevator car shook violently, and a string of garbled characters flashed across the display screen as if it had crashed, and finally gradually spelled out the word "14"!
Sun Jie widened his eyes in shock. He saw the girl in front of him grinning, with a hint of pride in her voice.
"15-1=14. I've learned this."
