midnight ten

The creaking sound of the rusty sling running, the stuffy air that doesn't circulate at all, the cramped and crowded place that makes it difficult to turn around, and the lingering sense of weightlessness.

In a terrible environment that combines all the above, there are still people who want to smoke.

Zheng Luozhu raised his hand and knocked on the backpack that was close to his chest, reminding: "In public places, pay attention to your quality."

The owner of the backpack looked back with difficulty. He was a middle-aged man, not tall, but strong, with dark skin.Before he could light his cigarette, he casually put it in his mouth, looked over Zheng Luozhu's shoulder, glanced at the man standing further in the elevator, and teased Zheng Luozhu: "Your boss didn't say anything, what are you in a hurry for?"

When the boss really spoke, he would cry looking at the salary account at the end of the month.

"Zhang Quan." Zheng Luozhu's voice was a little lower, not really angry, but it contained a warning.He is 28 years old, with a slender physique full of strength, coupled with a simple and neat cut, he looks like a vigorous thug next to the boss.

Zhang Quan didn't plan to clash with anyone in this kind of elevator that was on the verge of being overloaded, but the way down was long, so it was not too much to have some fun.

Knocking out another half cigarette from the cigarette case with one hand, he simply stretched his arm over Zheng Luozhu, and handed it directly to the tall man: "Boss Fan, would you like one?"

Zheng Luozhu didn't expect the other party to be so bored, so he moved a little slower. When he wanted to stop him, his boss had already taken the knocked out half of the cigarette along with it: "Thank you."

Fan Peiyang was half a head taller than Zheng Luozhu, with a sharp-edged face, heroic, but too stern.Since he entered the elevator 3 minutes ago, he stood in the depths of the car in a black coat, silent but with unquestionable momentum, like an indestructible fortress that may show a dark muzzle at any time. The sense of oppression in the cabin rose to a peak.

Now Fort says thank you and confiscates the cigarettes.

Zhang Quan watched the other party put a whole pack of cigarettes into his coat pocket calmly, and was stunned by this operation.The key is that Fan Peiyang is too natural, so natural that he has the illusion that he is also working for the other party.

Zheng Luozhu is used to this.His boss has such a natural leadership temperament, and can create a psychedelic atmosphere of "everyone is my employee" anytime and anywhere.

The car paused without warning, as if the sling was stuck by something, and the tightly packed crowd swayed in the same direction like a canned food formed in one piece.

This sudden change made everyone's hearts tremble and their nerves tensed.

But nothing happened.

After a few seconds, the sling passed the freeze and continued to run.

Everyone observed for another dozen seconds, and they breathed a sigh of relief until the shaking car gradually stabilized.

The car became noisy, everyone was moving, or arranging clothes, or adjusting backpacks, but Fan Peiyang turned his head to look beside him immediately.

Standing with him in the depths of the car was another man, about the same height as Zheng Luozhu, but very thin, with a slim waist and long legs.Also wearing a coat, Fan Peiyang in a black coat is tall and straight, while he in a beige coat is taller and elegant.

He didn't notice that Fan Peiyang was looking at him, and even the sudden shaking just now didn't distract him.From beginning to end, he kept his head down, concentrating on studying the owl pattern on his arm.

Fan Peiyang retracted his eyes without a trace, the slight waves in his eyes returned to calm silently.

The elevator continued to go down, but there were more slight tremors than before. The slight tremors were transmitted to the soles of the feet through the car floor, and then continued to the limbs and bones. It was like an electric current, which made people very annoying.

"Is this elevator going to work?" A 37-year-old man squeezed shoulder to shoulder with Zheng Luozhu, impatiently moved his muscular and burly body, like a large beast trapped in a low cage , anxiety, irritability.

His movement moved the entire elevator.

The first to bear the brunt was Zheng Luozhu, who was rubbed so hard that his shoulder was twisted, and his arm was so sore that it looked like he had been hit by a brick for no reason.

The next one who suffered was the young man standing in front of the strong man. His backpack was in front of the strong man. When the strong man moved, his backpack moved, and when the backpack moved, he followed him to the side.

Different from Zheng Luozhu's forbearance, the young man directly turned around and complained: "Old Ge, what are you twisting, I don't know how much influence I have?"

He was wearing a trendy sweater with a bit of a naughty vibe.

Zheng Luozhu wanted to give him a high five from the air.

Ge Shaping is majestic and burly, with big arms and round waist. He needs to be taller and wider. A stop in the middle of the elevator is like a mountain. When the mountain moves, the serious elevator will sway, let alone this unscrupulous one.

Ge Shaping has rough skin and thick flesh, and he has no difference in defense against complaints. He was even quite happy that someone finally talked to him, and quickly hit the snake with a stick: "Xiao Yu, Xiao Li, have you found anything?"

Yu Fei, also known as the trendy brand sweater, weighed the weight difference between each other, resisted the urge to violently correct their nicknames, and twitched the corner of his mouth: "No."

Li Zhan, who was standing on his right, turned his head and added: "We tried one by one, and none of the floor buttons responded."

Both of them are 24 or [-] years old, but unlike Yu Fei's publicity, Li Zhan is white and gentle, like a college student who is still studying.

Yu Fei and Li Zhan stood side by side on the right side of the car door, starting from the elevator, they were studying the rows of floor keys in front of them.Unfortunately nothing came of it.

Ge Shaping was a little disappointed, and then, that disappointment aggravated his uncertainty.

An elevator that goes down automatically without pressing the floor button really makes people feel insecure.And when the elevator has been going down for more than four minutes and there is no sign of stopping, it gets even worse.

The short exchange ended, and no one spoke in the elevator.The air seemed to be more stuffy, and uneasiness grew in the silent depression, like vines, binding the already overcrowded car even more breathlessly.

Ge Shaping couldn't take it anymore. He was buried alive, restricted in front, back, left, and right, and could only move above his neck.

After making a quick move twice, his eyes inadvertently fell on the display screen above the floor key.Just like when they first entered the elevator, there was only an owl pattern on the cold screen, which was of the same style as the painting on their arms, and came down in one continuous line.

[Yo, there are a lot of people this time! 】

Damn it, the owl spoke.

The sudden bantering mechanical sound broke the nerves of the seven people in the elevator. I have heard it many times, and a surprise attack is also fatal.

Li Zhan, who was closest to the sound source, was shocked, Yu Fei cursed directly, Ge Shaping and Zheng Luozhu all put on a defensive posture, Fan Peiyang and the thin man beside him raised their heads at the same time and locked the screen.The difference is that the former squinted his eyes calmly, showing danger in his composure; the latter raised his eyebrows with great interest, full of anticipation and curiosity.

Zhang Quan's reaction was different from that of the six people in the elevator. He was fast and ruthless. In the blink of an eye, he had already clenched a dagger in his hand.

The cold white lights of the elevator hit the knife edge, and the chill was terrifying.

The already stagnant air froze completely, and the owl also shut its mouth. The entire car was deadly silent, only the rough running sound of the slings and the buzzing vibration of the car body remained.

I don't know how long it has passed, but the strange mechanical sound is like a group hallucination.

Yu Fei turned his head to look at Zhang Quan with a smile, breaking the silence.

"Tsk, the action is fast enough." After praising him, he slightly raised his chin toward the display screen, and continued to ask, "I just don't know if this knife is for it or for us."

Zhang Quan is not afraid of him, just a little embarrassed.His body was slightly slack, and the tight high alert was easing over time, but his posture did not change, he was still holding the dagger, and he was still ready to fight at any time.

Yu Fei's brows gradually frowned, and his eyes turned cloudy.

Ge Shaping didn't want to be buried alive on one side, but still fighting on the other side. He raised his arm with great effort, and slapped Zhang Quan's backpack with a big slap, with a smooth smile in his sonorous and clear voice: "Old Zhang, you too It's too tense, and there are no real dead people here, so just treat it as a game and relax."

"It's not dead, but it's enough to get hurt." Zhang Quan curled his lips with lingering fear as if recalling something.However, he also realized that he had made a big fuss, and slowly put away his preparations for the battle, only the knife remained. Obviously, there was something in his hand that made him feel more at ease.

But someone doesn't like it.

Yu Fei's limited patience was exhausted, he didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, just as he was about to make a move, a gentle voice came from the depths of the elevator.

"Put the knife back."

Fan Peiyang's voice was light, and his eyes were light as well. At first glance, it sounded like he was persuading.

Like Zheng Luozhu, Ge Shaping stood in the middle of the elevator, which became a natural barrier between Fan Peiyang in the back and Zhang Quan in front, but now, he decided to squeeze to the side.Admonish him well, but anyone who is not a fool can hear the danger in that tone.

Zhang Quan was taken aback, he didn't expect Fan Peiyang to speak.

Different from Yu Fei's youthful provocation, what Fan Peiyang brings is that kind of invisible oppressive force. He can calmly deal with the former, but unconsciously prepares himself for the latter.

The fluctuations in his heart did not show on Zhang Quan's face.He is not an ordinary person if he can come here, besides, he was still hesitant about the cigarettes before.

Thinking of this, Zhang Quan raised his dangling arm again, flicked his wrist, twirled the dagger in a circle like playing in his palm, and held it again, he raised his eyebrows at Fan Peiyang, and said mockingly: "What's the matter, you treat yourself as a I'm the boss?"

Fan Peiyang looked at him quietly, without any fluctuation in his eyes: "You are not qualified to be my employee."

Zhang Quan gritted his teeth.

It is this attitude, the most unbearable thing for him is the other party's attitude of contempt for everything, the effect of pulling hatred is simply one solar system higher than Yu Fei.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the noise of the sling running has become smaller, and the tremor is also weakening. The stability of the elevator seems to have a secret relationship with the atmosphere in the car. The more unstable, the more harmonious, the more stable the elevator is. Smoother, more tense.

One after the other, the two confronted each other across the air, saying that the confrontation was inappropriate, more like Zhang Quan unilaterally showing his fangs and claws, while Fan Peiyang remained calm.

No one was nosy, even Yu Fei had time to watch the excitement.

Zheng Luozhu wanted to beat Zhang Quan to death: "Hurry up and take it away. With the population density in this elevator, you can stab a bunch of people by one mistake."

There was a natural familiarity in his tone, which made it sound less like a warning, more like a joke among friends.

Zhang Quan felt more comfortable, and wanted to put away the knife, but found it difficult to get off the tiger.

Accepting it is tantamount to admitting to Fan Peiyang, if you don't accept it, the scene of the stalemate may not be good.

[If I were you, I would be obedient! 】

The culprit who had pretended to be dead for a long time spoke again.

It's obviously just a two-dimensional pattern, but it has to tilt its head to show its cuteness on the screen.

[Zhang Quan, Intelligence D, Physical Strength B, Attack Power B, Defense Power A, Comprehensive Danger Level B...]

Without anyone asking questions, it started the big data release on its own.

[Zheng Luozhu, Intelligence B, Physical Strength A, Attack Power C, Defense Power A, Comprehensive Danger Level B+...]

【Zhang Quan, you have no chance of winning against him...】

The amount of information came too much and too fast, and everyone was overwhelmed for a while.What grade?How was it assessed?Based on what?And why post it here?Is the level required?Or a conspiracy...

One question after another came out one after another, but the two parties couldn't think so much.

Zhang Quan opened his mouth slightly, his expression hurt, his chances of winning were secondary, the main thing was the "intelligence D", the blow was too great.

Zheng Luozhu couldn't be happy either. How did "Attack Power C" come from? He needed an explanation.

The owl is not so considerate, still fluttering in his own thoughts——

[The new level is very dangerous, so you must have a correct understanding of your own combat power.I’m a good person who will do it to the end, so I’ll help you evaluate them one by one... Gu Gu Gu...]

The elevator is still descending, as if it will never reach the end.

However, the passengers in the elevator have temporarily withdrawn from their boredom and irritability. Even Zhang Quan has withdrawn his knife and focused all his attention on the display screen.The big reveal of combat power data is like a gust of gossip, blowing people's hearts up and down.

【Ge Shaping...】

The big brother who was named immediately straightened his back, with a very upright attitude, as if this would impress the referee.

[Intelligence C, physical strength A, attack power A, defense power D, comprehensive danger level B...]

However it didn't help.

[Li Zhan, Intelligence A, Physical Strength B, Attack Power C, Defense Power B, Comprehensive Danger Level B...]

The first intelligence A appeared.

Although the overall rating is not outstanding, if you look at the intelligence of the first three - CBD, you will know how precious this A is.

Li Zhan touched his nose in embarrassment, the humility and shyness of a schoolmaster.

Yu Fei hooked him over with one arm, and rubbed his head indiscriminately: "Brother, you can do it."

[Yu Fei, Intelligence B, Physical Strength A, Attack Power A, Defense Power B, Comprehensive Danger Level A-...]

The first comprehensive grade A also appeared.

Zheng Luozhu couldn't help but look at Yu Fei twice, but the latter looked dissatisfied: "A-?"

【Fan Peiyang...】

It's my boss' turn.

Zheng Luozhu pricked up his ears, afraid of missing it, and the others were more or less curious.

[Intelligence A, Physical Strength S, Attack Power A, Defense Power B, Comprehensive Danger Level A...]

Zheng Luozhu, Zhang Quan, Ge Shaping, Yu Fei, Li Zhan: "..."

It turns out that the evaluation grade is still S.

All ten eyes fell on Mr. Fan, from top to bottom, from bottom to top, searching again and again, S-level physical strength, how strong it is...

Fan Peiyang was silent for a moment, gathered his coat, thought for a few seconds, and buttoned two more buttons.

The author has something to say: I rely on Mr. Fan's physical strength to drive, I don't need to say it =w=
