Chapter 40
Because the elevator was demolished, everyone originally thought that the demolished area would at least be fenced off.
But no.
Except for the fact that the residents spontaneously posted a notice at the elevator location to warn others not to get on the wrong elevator, the lobby of Building 1 of [Huagui Royal Mansion] seemed as if nothing had happened.
The dismantled elevator continued to operate there intact.
As if it knew they were here to provoke it, the elevator even gave a middle finger on the display screen.
However, no one felt anything, including Ji Yile, who just looked up and let it go.
However, since the elevator was back, Feng Jun'an still called back to confirm.
Of course, the dismantled elevator is still in the Public Security Department.
"So this is just a younger brother." Ji Yile concluded.
The display screen flashed, as if it was dissatisfied with Ji Yile's wording.
No one cared. After a discussion, they arranged for two field staff to guard downstairs, and everyone else took the three elevators next door to go up.
Because of what happened this morning, everyone in Building No. 1 now knows that the General Affairs Department had a great battle against the mysterious and weird people, and returned with a great victory.
So when Ji Yile knocked on the door, the residents at home opened the door very quickly.
Unfortunately, not much is actually known.
Wu Qiqi's cell phone was left at the Public Security Department, so Ji Yile was not sure whether everyone discussed it in the owners' group.
However, everyone's attitude was a little strangely enthusiastic.
"You are the Mr. Ji, right? Everyone is talking about you today!"
"Don't you need to register your information? How about registering your information as well? So you don't have to make another trip when the time comes."
Ji Yile also wanted to, but time did not allow it.
"Missing people? No!?" An old lady shook her head and denied it.
Then, a child who could barely walk came out, hugged the old lady's calf and said, "Yes, grandma! Isn't Dad missing?"
The old lady squatted down and spanked the kid hard on the butt, "Your father is on a business trip, not missing!"
The child sniffed and then couldn't help crying.
"He's been away on business for a long time! I haven't seen him since I was a child."
Ji Yile looked down at the child. He really wanted to say, "You look about the same age as me."
However, he didn't understand the strange world. People like Teng Manman were older than him.
So, this child might be like that too.
The old lady hit him again in anger, "You just saw him last month, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Ji Yile interrupted their argument awkwardly, "Hello, old lady, may I ask where the child's father went on a business trip?"
The old lady rolled her eyes. "You believe what a kid says. That idiot went to Area C and won't be back until next month. That weird thing you asked about is not weird."
Ji Yile's eyes lit up, and just when he wanted to get to know more, the old lady turned him down.
"The other old ladies don't know. Since you're not here for the census today, we won't receive you."
Ji Yile touched his nose which was almost hit and sighed.
Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, he still sent this information to the newly formed work group.
The next few are all very similar.
"I also think that elevator is weird, so I never take it."
"Well, you ask me why I feel that way? Because my talent is inspiration."
"I saw a delivery guy go in, and later I heard that his colleagues came here to look for him."
"That last colleague is gone too!"
"Has anyone reported the crime? Probably not, right? After all, reporting a crime requires evidence, and none of us can produce it. At first, I thought it was a ghost from some floor who ate the man. I didn't expect that!"
"You can actually go to the forum and have a look."
In the end, Ji Yile felt that he was the one with the most information.
It's just embarrassing.
Everyone returned to the first floor and gathered, taking the fragmentary information and slowly piecing it together.
Deng Jiaxu and Zhu Qing rushed to the scene, and Deng Jiaxu said, "Actually, I have a guess."
He looked at Zhu Qing and said, "I don't know if you have the same feeling. This is what we encountered last month."
Zhu Qing groaned, "Strange talk?"
Deng Jiaxu said seriously, "Yes. I think this space should be considered a kind of strange story. It has consciousness, thoughts, and can move at any time. The residents of Building 1 discovered its existence several times, but they sought benefits and avoided harm, and finally it remained in the corner of their minds and they could hardly remember it. Unless they encounter it again, they think it is normal and never think of reporting it."
Ji Yile had a different idea, "Maybe they think it's useless to report the case, and they don't have any evidence."
Zhu Qing shook his head. "That's impossible. This is a high-end residence. People who live here have some status in the weird circle."
Deng Jiaxu folded his arms and said, "If it weren't for the message you sent me before, I wouldn't have remembered it."
Ji Yile had never heard of this thing and looked at them blankly.
Feng Junan's face was not very good, "Don't talk nonsense."
Now even the strange things haven’t been completely solved, and there’s a new trouble. It gives me a headache just thinking about it.
Deng Jiaxu shrugged, "Old Feng, this isn't the first time you've encountered this."
This thing is too troublesome, so Feng Junan really doesn't want to encounter it.
Ji Yile looked left and right, "Actually this is not bad. At least we can take the things inside out."
Zhu Qing's face was heavy. "It's useless to bring them out. The most important thing is to find the real body of this thing. We can tame it or destroy it. We can't let it appear in society."
Ji Yile nodded. It was so silent that no one knew how many people had been killed. Most importantly, the residents inside were also very cruel.
"So... do Wu Qiqi and the others know where they live?"
The phone suddenly rang rapidly, "Four strange people died in detention, all of them exploded and died."
This is really not good news, and the atmosphere at the scene became quite low.
Feng Junan comforted him, "Don't worry, Lao Lan is already at Tianfu Property Management Company. He will get the relevant information."
As if anticipating their mood, Lan Xin made a video call to Feng Junan.
"Old Feng, where are you?"
Seeing Feng Junan taking photos of everyone with his mobile phone, Lan Xin said in surprise, "There are so many people."
Then he said happily: "Old Feng, look, isn't this beautiful!"
In front of the screen, the building was burned to ashes, slowly falling down, just like the red spider lilies blooming on the road to the underworld, bright and hot, and crumbling.
Sparks were flying in the air. A few monsters were burned beyond recognition and lay on the ground, trembling occasionally, which made them feel at ease because they were still alive.
But Lan Xin didn't care. With a snap of her fingers, the metal plaque in the distance fell to the ground.
【Tianfu Property Management Corporation】
Lan Xin sighed, "I should have brought Qiao'er or asked Zhu Qing to come here. They have a communication barrier with me, and I can't understand what they say. Maybe it's the generation gap. After all, they are all old monsters who have been here for hundreds of years."
Feng Junan said coldly: "So you burned them all."
Lan Xin shouted exaggeratedly, "Ouch~ Don't talk nonsense. Look at this, where is it burned?"
Then, the camera comes to a strange scene surrounded by red-hot metal.
Probably to convince everyone, half of the suit on this weirdo was still there.
Guiyi saw the camera and shouted excitedly, "I'm willing to tell you everything, let me out, I know everything, I'm willing to tell you."
Afterwards, the camera returned to Lan Xin’s haggard face.
"Okay, I have to get back to work."
Feng Junan immediately stopped Lan Xin, "Wait! Did you ask anything?"
Lan Xin shook her head. "That weird thing is out of control. They can't control it."
Before the video was hung up, Ji Yile heard screams coming from the other side.
Feng Junan raised his eyebrows, "Did everyone hear it?"
Deng Jiaxu spread his hands, "It seems there is no information."
Zhu Qing clapped the teaching stick on his palm and said, "Even if we leave here, we still have absolute control over the weird things coming out of here. The four in the detention room are the template."
Ji Yile pursed his lips and said, "This is not easy to do."
Deng Jiaxu chuckled, "If there's anything, we can just go in again."
Ji Yile thought this made sense, "Well, let's go in again."
As a result, Deng Jiaxu's face changed and he said nervously, "Forget it. You just came out, there's no need to go back in! There are more of us, it won't be your turn."
Zhu Qing nodded slightly, while Feng Junan looked at Ji Yile.
"What do you think?"
Ji Yile clenched his fists, "I want to go in, too."
Deng Jiaxu immediately patted Feng Junan on the shoulder, "Hey! Old Feng!"
Zhu Qing also stared at Feng Jun'an, as if he wanted to see through him.
Feng Junan smiled and said, "Then go in too."
Then, he said to Deng Jiaxu and the others seriously, "You have to believe in Xiao Ji. He can handle things on his own."
Deng Jiaxu was a little embarrassed, "But..."
Coincidentally, Ji Yile received a new text message on his phone.
He opened it and saw a message from someone familiar.
—I believe you can succeed!
—I am with you!
Ji Yile turned off his phone, and the three of them stared at him together.
"I'm fine." He said guiltily.
In addition to the four of them, Deng Jiaxu also arranged two field staff to form a team and enter the elevator with them.
"Six people riding the elevator together, no overload, perfect!" Deng Jiaxu thought.
Just like last time, Ji Yile’s eyes went dark.
"Yes, that's what I did last time."
There was silence in the elevator and no one answered his question.
Ji Yile felt something was wrong. In the darkness, there was only a faint red light and the sound of the elevator sliding down.
After a while, the lights came back on and he was the only one left in the elevator.
The elevator stopped, still at the -18th floor.
But he didn't press this floor at all.
The elevator opened, and dark red blood was surging on the wall. And next to the number 18, there was an extra bar.
The elevator suddenly made a mechanical sound, and even though there was no expression, Ji Yile could hear a hint of malice.
"Welcome to Floor -18."
