I Wasn't Born Lucky

Ye Zeqing was only one meter away from the black shadow outside the door, he was stunned for a moment, and then he chose to stop his pace quite simply.

No matter how experienced, it is a normal human reaction to the fear of the unknown.

But Xiao Li seemed to have no such fear at all, he only paused for a fraction of a second, and was still surprised by the sudden appearance of a black shadow, and then he opened the door in front of him without any hesitation. He hesitated and walked out of the escape route.

Taking advantage of the door not being completely closed, Ye Zeqing followed him closely.

Xiao Li's speed was already very fast, but the black shadow was even faster. In the blink of an eye, it floated out of the gate of the office building and was completely submerged in darkness.

This scene is actually a very mysterious thing to describe, but for some reason, Ye Zeqing stood behind, always feeling a faint panic revealed from that back.

Xiao Li paused, and stood still, not choosing to chase the shadow.

"The direction it is running... seems to be Pavilion R?" Fu Guangbo said hesitantly, analyzing the direction where the shadow was running away in his mind.

Now that they have completed the patrol mission of the office building, it is not too late, there is still half an hour before midnight, if you want to go to the exhibition hall, this is the best time.

Chen Jinghan looked at Xiao Li, asking for his opinion: "Will you go?"

Fu Guangbo also gave up the idea of ​​breaking away from Hercule at this time, and decided to put his life first, follow the boss, and dare to break into the dragon's lake and the tiger's den.

Under the burning eyes of the reincarnators, Xiao Li struggled for three seconds, then shook his head and said, "...not going."

"Really not going?" Ye Zeqing and Zheng Yi said in unison. They realized this, looked at each other for a while, and then distanced each other with some disgust. Zheng Yi immediately asked, "Why?"

Xiao Li's eyes drifted to the corner of the towering wall again, he thought for a while and said slowly: "The sound of the water... is still going on."

"The sound of water flowing, is this a code?" Zheng Yi asked without understanding.

Fu Guangbo also showed curiosity while standing beside him. He didn't understand, but he was embarrassed to ask because he was not familiar with Hercule.

Xiao Li didn't really want to explain, there was no other reason, and there were too many explanations, so he didn't bother to say.

But it was Zheng Yi who asked this question, Xiao Li thought about how he had come all the way to talk to him, pondered for a moment, and then said as briefly as possible: "In general office buildings, the water pipes at night don't last forever. Noise and no constant mixture beating against the walls of the pipes."

Although the sound was faint, it continued to exist.

This is not in line with common sense.

"The office circuit has been cut off, but the elevator is kept. Although it can be seen as a convenience for the employees," Xiao Li said while parting his mind to continue to listen to the movement of the water pipes, and walked in the direction leading to the logistics department, " But if we think about it in another way, could it be that we deliberately let us take this elevator, ignore the stairs, and ignore these sounds at the same time."

The stairwell is very, very quiet, there are no electrical appliances that make noise, and the walls of the building are thin, so it is easier to hear the sound of running water than the office.

Hearing this, Zhang Kaixue couldn't help asking: "But how did he know that we were taking the elevator? Most people would want to take the stairs at such a time...Maybe the elevator is always on here."

Soon, she realized that what she said sounded like she was implying Xiao Li, and immediately defended: "I didn't mean that you are not an ordinary person."

...Why does it seem to be getting darker and darker?

Zhang Kaixue opened his mouth and waited to explain, but found that Xiao Li on the other side didn't care at all, he continued directly: "If it's just this matter, it may be an illusion, but plus what that person said to me this afternoon..."

"Who? The one opposite Mr. Sun?" Zheng Yi thought about it for a while, and immediately followed the big guy's thoughts, "You mean he told you not to go to the exhibition hall?"

Xiao Li said "Yes", and answered as concisely as possible: "If he knows me well, he knows my character. He told me not to go, but actually told me to go, then everything can be explained."

"He cut off the power and drove the elevator because he knew I was going to take the elevator and avoided the clues."

"But, but how did he know you so well? You know him? Doesn't Mr. Sun even know that you tortured the ghosts in the exhibition hall?" Fu Guangbo finally couldn't help but came over to ask the truth.

Xiao Li stopped suddenly, looked at the crowd, and dropped a bomb calmly: "Mr. Sun didn't know it was me, because he is from this world."

Zheng Yi opened his mouth: "...I think you seem to be implying something?"

"And that person should be the same as us." Xiao Li glanced at Zheng Yi and said, "The reincarnation, he used some kind of props, or he has been in contact with President Sun for a long time, he has the authority to see the forum .”

"He doesn't need to know who I am. He just needs to understand the current situation of the exhibition hall, make speculations, and roughly know my character."

Sherlock, Moriarty, Hercule.

Even the top reincarnations on the global reincarnation leaderboard, Wang Huai, Moss, DoctorX...

Except for a few oddities—such as a certain steady man known as a "walking defense tower"—which of these big shots is not this kind of person?

Once you know the personalities of these people and simulate how they would respond to a crisis, it's not hard to understand why.

Fu Guangbo recalled in disbelief the actions of the man opposite Mr. Sun. Is he a reincarnation?But it shouldn't be.

After a while, he finally recovered his voice: "Then why did Mr. Sun want us to patrol the office building? Why don't we just let us go to the exhibition hall again, or just sleep at home?"

"It's very simple," Xiao Li sighed deeply from the bottom of his heart, feeling desolate for the IQ of his teammates, he looked at the ceiling speechlessly, and continued to walk forward, "They don't have any more night pavilions, even if the pavilion It can be repaired, but the ghosts inside are hard to find."

"Also, even if it is like now, it will only take a while to add some little ghosts to the exhibition hall to seduce me. After losing the exhibition hall as a target, it is easy to think of the office building as a reminder of the way out."

Listening to his description, Zhang Kaixue inexplicably came up with four words:

God, fairy, fight, fight!

Four more words:

Separate, empty, cross, front!

One more sentence:

You prejudged me, and I prejudged yours.

You think I'm on the first floor, but I'm actually on the fifth floor!

"Instead of being passive like this, it's better to take the initiative to let me drill. Besides, the top floor is the place where the sound of water pipe transportation is the least, at least there will be no things falling from above." Xiao Li tilted his head, as if he could hear the sound of running water this way more clearly, "Thinking like this, you'd be a smart person."

Being able to have friendship with Mr. Sun in this kind of place, and it seems that he didn't come here once or twice, the opponent's layout is very big, and he should not be ranked low on the ranking list.

Fu Guangbo who kept asking questions: "..."

I always feel that Hercule is connoting him.

Xiao Li suddenly looked at him again at this time: "Also, I want to correct one point, I didn't torture those ghosts, I just..."

"I'm making friends with them." He paused, then said.

This must be corrected, Xiao Li feels that he is not a devil, and has no hobby of torturing ghosts.

Fu Guangbo: "..."

Yes, yes, and teach them to be ghosts by the way, right?

Zheng Yi didn't have as many thoughts as Fu Guangbo, or rather, he was used to it. He nodded and quickly accepted this setting: "He just wants to hide the sound of the water pipes here? What are they transporting?"

At this point in the discussion, other people moved closer to the wall more or less, wanting to hear the sound of the water pipes transporting water, Zheng Yi even expanded his palm into a trumpet shape and placed it next to his ear, intending to amplify his hearing.

Xiao Li: "I don't know, but it needs to be transported by water pipes late at night... probably not many things can be put in it."

"Corpse?" Ye Zeqing used his imagination, but quickly corrected himself, "Or a corpse..."

The wreckage of the security guards who died in the exhibition hall over the years may have been transported to the roof of this office building, processed into body parts, and then transported to a certain place through drainage pipes.

Xiao Li said to himself in a relaxed tone: "I probably know who is bound to me here."

The style of painting is quite familiar.

Ye Zeqing followed his train of thought for a while, but was not sure: "Who is it?"

Xiao Li didn't answer him, he leaned against the wall again.

In the future paradise, the office building is divided into two areas, which is more like a building complex.

Among them, Mr. Sun's office is located in a high-rise building, the core of the building, and the spacious passage on the first floor of the office leads to another arched three-story building. The reincarnated people are familiar with it, and it is the logistics office and the security dormitory.

The deeper place is the cafeteria and the basement. They have explored it during the day, but because the reincarnations all focused their eyes and thoughts on the exhibition hall, they didn't go deep here.

Now following the sound of running water in the water pipe, everyone came back here again.

Originally, Fu Guangbo was still holding the flashlight, but Xiao Li asked him to turn off the light source halfway through.

It's not that I'm afraid of attracting any monsters, it's mainly because cutting off the vision will make the other four senses more acute.

The hearing of blind people is usually better than that of ordinary people, but most people can't do the determination of strong men to cut their wrists.

Although Fu Guangbo did it immediately without hesitation, he was still a little bit discouraged. After all, the darkness in the dungeon world may breed danger at any time.

But soon, as Xiao Li said, under the condition of deliberate high concentration of mental power, the voice seemed to be really amplified, and flowed into the ears of the reincarnated people.

"Tick, tick, tick, boom, tick, boom..."

Fu Guangbo had no time to think about whether there would be any ghosts in front of him. He listened intently to the sound of the water pipe, and followed Xiao Li in front of him to go deeper.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the voices in everyone's ears changed to:

"Boom, boom, boom."

No longer the sound of a pipe, but some sort of larger, fuller vessel.
