Sixth Floor
Walking down the stairs and stepping into the familiar basement, Jiang Yunshu looked up at the doors in front of him, and occasionally glanced down at the surveillance screen on his mobile phone.
The sixth floor clearly exists, but there's no staircase leading to it, and even the surveillance footage doesn't show it. What could be hidden in this mysterious sixth floor?
She didn't believe in just a pile of clutter.
And she couldn't find any other possible way to the sixth floor except here.
His mind suddenly paused, as if he suddenly thought of something. Jiang Yunshu took out his mobile phone and opened it. He lowered his eyes and his gaze suddenly fixed.
The other party said——
【Go to the sixth floor.】
Go to the sixth floor... Jiang Yunshu stared at those three words and froze in place.
For some reason, although she had wanted to go in the beginning, her heart suddenly started beating fast when she heard others say that.
"Let's go, even if I die, I want to die knowing the truth." Jiang Yunshu thought, and walked to the sixth floor according to the route sent by the other party.
"Da, da, da..."
He walked forward slowly on the cold ground.
Under the faint pale light, the metal walls on all sides were shining with a cold light. Jiang Yunshu walked slowly in the corridor filled with accumulated cold air.
Her wet hair and clothes stuck to her skin, as if a cold water ghost was lying on her back, raising its cold fingers to caress the back of her neck affectionately, which suddenly aroused a chill in her spine.
Jiang Yunshu's body trembled, and he suddenly dispelled the cold air on his back and arms for a short time.
The surroundings were quiet, with only the rustling sound of fabric rubbing against each other. After walking a short distance, Jiang Yunshu suddenly felt a strong sense of unease in his heart.
Her heart was pounding, and Jiang Yunshu walked forward calmly, but a huge panic was rising in her heart, urging her to turn around and leave, turn around and leave here!
Don't go any further.
His feet took a mechanical step forward and stepped through a door. His heart was trembling with fear, and Jiang Yunshu's gaze looking forward suddenly stopped.
After the door opened, the corridor filled with cold light was no longer empty.
There were huge transparent tanks placed on both sides of the aisle in front. Jiang Yunshu walked between them mechanically, his mouth unconsciously opened slightly, looking at the figures of different sizes floating in the transparent tanks.
It's an animal, it's an animal...?
It's like... no, it's a strange animal made up of a mixture of various things.
Under the pale light, they hung their heads, with most of their bodies covered by thick shadows. Jiang Yunshun passed in front of them, and they remained motionless, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
Silent and quiet, like a bizarre specimen.
His dark eyes trembled slightly, his gaze turned away from one person, then met another, and he could not take his eyes away from the figures of all sizes.
Her heart seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand, but her steps were less hesitant - she had already come this far, and it made no difference whether she turned back or continued.
His feet stepped on the cold ground, almost silently, and Jiang Yunshu walked up the stairs calmly and slowly, reaching the sixth floor.
The slightly dim light illuminated the entire seamless sixth floor.
There are no room partitions, but the entire sixth floor is invisibly divided into different areas by the layout of the furnishings.
After a pause, Jiang Yunshu walked in, passed by the large and small cold instruments, and walked towards the area with wooden bookcases.
As if attracted by something, she stared at the cabinet drawers in front of her without blinking, walked forward, and reached out to open them all.
It was filled with numbered folders. When I opened them, I couldn't understand what they were. I just knew they were probably recording daily things.
She rummaged through them one by one, opened a folder, glanced down, and subconsciously stopped when she was about to put it back.
There is no number here, and where the number should be, there are three words written:
"Jiang Qili".
Jiang Yunshu glanced up at this shelf of bookshelves, then took down a few more and flipped through them. They were all about Jiang Qili. From her birth to the end, there was a brand new "18" written at the beginning, with a blank space after "18" waiting to be filled.
Jiang Yunshu put the folder back and reached out to the upper shelf of the bookshelf. "Jiang Shuangyu", from birth to fifteen years old.
One level up, "Jiang Shuangli", from birth to fifteen years old.
Jiang Yunshu stretched out his arm, his fingertips trembling slightly, and gently fell on the folder on the top layer, took it down and opened it.
"The clouds on the river are sparse."
It begins... at the age of five and three days, I was brought here from my ancestral home.
"Newborn date 4317.12.1, fosterer Jiang..."
The phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. Jiang Yunshu blinked, withdrew his gaze from the paper, turned his head and reached into his pocket to take out the phone.
The phone lit up, revealing a message window, and the other party sent a new message.
[Xiao Shu, there is a towel and a coat on your right.]
Jiang Yunshu's movements froze instantly.
With a "boom" sound, fireworks exploded in my mind. I couldn't tell whether it was countless messy thoughts piling up like a mountain, or a blank space with nothing.
One second later, everything turned into "grass" filling the screen.
Jiang Yunshu slowly raised his head.
A red light flickered in the high corner in front of me.
Jiang Yunshu looked calm as he nodded earnestly at the red light above him. He then put away his phone, calmly reached out to take down all the folders related to "Jiang Yunshu", and walked to the right with them in his arms.
She screamed in her heart, her mind full of "fuck", but the disheveled girl slowly placed the folder in her arms on the sofa.
She took a towel and a coat from the nearby shelf and cabinet, sat on the sofa, and while drying her hair, she calmly looked at the contents of the folder.
"If he doesn't tell me, I'll just watch. Once he tells me, I'll be confused." Jiang Yunshu's face was calm and unperturbed, but he was gritting his teeth with tears in his eyes, "I'll watch as much as I can..."
Jiang Yunshu put on his coat, stood up, took a new towel and placed it on the back of his neck under his wet hair, and began to read the information attentively.
She had only glanced at the information of Jiang Qili and others before, but now she could almost immediately find the difference between this information and the previous ones.
Not only are the years shorter but the materials are thicker, but the content is also completely different.
Strange... Jiang Yunshu stared at the data on the document. She couldn't understand the details, but she could roughly guess that one of them was a physical examination result, and the other one... she just couldn't guess it at all.
"Quite frequently..." Jiang Yunshu muttered to himself unconsciously, "From the age of five to ten, it was recorded almost every three days. After the age of ten, it stabilized to once a week... What on earth is this? Why do I have to check and record so frequently..."
She raised her hand to brush away a strand of wet hair hanging by her face, and a strange feeling came to her mind:
"This information appears to be mine. Could it be that my health was so bad that I could die at any moment?"
The cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated again. Jiang Yunshu paused and raised his hand to take out the cell phone.
The phone screen lit up and a message popped up:
【Burn this place.】
Wh-what?
Jiang Yunshu stared blankly at the screen of his mobile phone, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
The sky darkened and a large shadow was cast.
Jiang Yunshu stiffened his neck and raised his head little by little, wanting to look at the red dot high up to express his doubts, but his sight suddenly bumped into two huge, strange scarlet vertical pupils!
It was an upside-down human face right before my eyes!!!
An invisible hand instantly tightened her heart, and her breathing was suddenly strangled. She subconsciously threw her phone and documents away in panic.
The constant tension and the sudden extreme fear made Jiang Yunshu seem unable to hold on any longer. He suddenly threw himself to the side and began to dry heave wildly.
"clatter……"
The shadow above receded, and shiny leather shoes stepped on the metal ground that was shining with a cold light.
He bent down to pick up the folder scattered on the ground, flipped it open, and looked around. His scarlet pupils turned and scanned the file before he smiled. "It's you... the sickly person the Jiang family has been hiding."
Jiang Yunshu ignored him, or rather, he wanted to escape but was unable to do so. His head was buzzing and he could not hear anything outside. He just kept retching uncontrollably and felt cold all over.
The man in black in front of her didn't pay any attention to her. He slowly picked up the books on the ground and the sofa and put them away.
His scarlet pupils turned to stare at the figure lying on the ground. He casually reached out to grab the back of Jiang Yunshu's clothes, and said in a relaxed tone: "You've run enough, then come with me."
The girl lying on the ground was shaking violently and retching continuously, as if she was going to vomit to death in the next moment due to anxiety or difficulty breathing.
The man in black frowned and instantly became serious. He quickly grabbed the back of her clothes - if you want to die, don't die in his hands. Send her back quickly. It will be none of his business if you die in someone else's hands.
Her neck suddenly felt tight, and the girl gagged, her body suddenly arching in increasing pain.
"You have to hold on." The man in black said lightly.
In the faint shadows, where no one could see, a disheveled girl lowered her head and suddenly opened a pair of dark eyes filled with tears.
Her pair of dark eyes looked even more sinister and cold in the shadows.
She remembered.
She has a cheat.
A stinging pain suddenly crept up his arm from the back of his right hand. Red and black lines appeared on Jiang Yunshu's pale skin covered by his sleeves, outlining a winding and swimming animal that looked like a dragon or a snake.
Holding her collar, the man in black was about to leave when he suddenly stopped.
His scarlet vertical pupils turned rapidly, as if he suddenly realized something, and he suddenly threw the girl in his hand out!
"boom!!!"
Amidst the thick white smoke, blood-red shadows as thin as silk suddenly emerged.
The black-clad figure slammed heavily against the metal wall with a "bang", his scarlet eyes staring into the depths of the white smoke. The expression on his face froze, and his figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.
Almost at the moment his figure disappeared.
“Bang, bang, bang!!”
Countless blood-red shadows pierced the wall where he was originally standing.
Deep in the gradually thinning white smoke, a figure stood up.
Jiang Yunshu raised her hands to cover her mouth and nose, dark red blood flowing out from between her fingers. In her miserable state, only her pair of dark eyes searched the surroundings indifferently.
Suddenly, as her gaze fixed on a certain place, countless blood-red silk-like shadows almost simultaneously stabbed towards the direction in the white smoke!
With a "bang", the blood-red shadow pierced into the wall, and the cold wall shattered in an instant.
Thick white smoke suddenly surged towards that direction.
As the mist gradually thinned and the interior furnishings gradually became visible, a faint voice suddenly sounded behind her -
"I'm glad I didn't die."
