A disgusting corpse smell rushed towards Chen Yang, he was unprepared, and sucked in a big mouthful, which made him cough a few times, as if his lungs were full of that rotten smell.

Zheng Zhitan next to him turned his face to the side of the elevator: "Why don't you talk, are you flirting with the corpse?"

Chen Yang: "..."

"There are four corpses inside." Chen Yang didn't enter the elevator, he stood at the entrance, looking straight at the two faces closest to him, "Xiao Yao, Brother Yu."

Looking back past them: "Xiao Huanyu, Wang Hao."

"There are many spots on the exposed skin of the corpse. It has been dead for a few days. 'Brother Yu', that is, He Rong, is carrying in his hand... it stinks. Something in the bag has green hair. Pancakes ? Tea eggs? There is an oil stain on the clothes in front of him."

Chen Yang didn't dare to enter the elevator rashly, so he just looked around, "Only he doesn't have a work permit around his neck..."

Four faces and eight eyes were all facing Chen Yang, like a dummy in a wax museum. He quickly inspected the corpse, not daring to shift his vision from the corner of his eyes for fear that the surrounding water would break into his field of vision. I closed my eyes, and my breathing was suppressed very lightly and slowly.

Zheng Zhitan said, "Did you not use the lens of your mobile phone to watch?"

"I'm used to it, I'm not used to it." Chen Yang's back was sweating, even though he had made enough mental preparations before he got down and guessed what would be in the elevator, when he saw it with his own eyes, his heart was still hit by the chill. If he wanted to concentrate on staring at the camera, his eyes would become more distracted, which was self-defeating, so he put down his phone unknowingly just now.

Chao Jian grabbed Chen Yang's clothes and shook them lightly, and said coldly, "Don't discuss it here, go up first."

"Okay." Chen Yang picked up the Chaojian on his back, and before he could stand still, he knelt down in the water.

The blow at the elevator entrance caused Chen Yang's muscles to twitch badly, and there was not enough buffer time, so he was a little weak now.

The wet and cold water soaked through Chen Yang's clothes, and the chill flowed into his open pores, like countless water snakes entangled, the greasy snake body was constantly twisted, he jumped up almost as soon as he knelt down, holding his breath Chao Jian, who was on her back, ran towards the corridor entrance with all her strength, keeping her eyes tightly closed all the time.

The person who wanted to help stood up and ran away, not forgetting to carry the dog raised with his own soul and flesh on his back. Zheng Zhitan retracted the hand that was outstretched in mid-air, and walked across the water to go upstairs unhurriedly.

Zheng Zhitan climbed up step by step following the rough panting in the corridor, and stopped at the top of the stairs on the second floor, leaning on the handrail.

Chen Yang wiped the water on his face with his wet clothes, and the more he wiped, the wetter it became. His eyes were still open, and his eyelids were trembling with cold.

There was a "ding" sound next to his ear, and there was a bitter smell of smoke in the air. Chen Yang touched Chao Jian gropingly, and a pack of tissues was stuffed in his hand. clean.

After emptying his mind for less than three seconds, Chen Yang panted shortly: "Mobile phone!"

The pocket was wet, he grabbed the case, and a drop of water tremblingly fell down, creating a small spray on the ground.

It was too quiet in the corridor.

Chen Yang silently put the mobile phone into Chao Jian's arms, rubbed his forehead and said, "My mobile phone is almost out of battery, and yours is..."

Chao Jian touched the edge of the case to open it, and wiped it with a paper towel: "It's okay."

"Does your knee hurt?" Chao Jian asked.

"It doesn't hurt." Chen Yang finished speaking one second ago, and the next second a hand stretched out and pressed his knee, and he hissed.

The lie was exposed on the spot, and Chen Yang took the lead: "It doesn't hurt if you don't press it, just press it..."

Chen Yang didn't go on, because the hand on his knee was rubbing it with such light force as if he was dusting a piece of high-quality porcelain. He was a little uncomfortable, and the heat on his face kept rising.

"Okay, okay." Chen Yang grabbed Chao Jian's wrist, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Zhao Jian continued to wipe the case.

It was dark all around, Chen Yang opened his eyes: "I thought the mission would start when the people on the street started running wildly." He adjusted the frequency of his heartbeat, "Now I think it's earlier." The mission started very early.

Zheng Zhitan glanced at the silent Chao Jian, and responded slowly to Chen Yang: "When the elevator broke down?"

"Yeah." Chen Yang said, "The moment the four of Xiao Huanyu died in the elevator, the mission began."

The starting point of the mission is the elevator!

Chen Yang's heartbeat, which had finally stabilized, jumped a few more times. As expected, the four monsters were not transformed by humans, they were monsters from the beginning.

It's just that they have been injected and modified their memories, thinking that they are human beings, and they don't know their identities until they go to work, and they also understand their work and rules.

Chen Yang recalled "Brother Yu"'s breakfast and the dirt on his clothes, and combined with the information that Changxiang Technology went to work at [-] o'clock, he deduced that "Brother Yu" He Rong first came to the company to check in, and then went downstairs to buy food.No work permit.

So what the monster turned into, he used someone else's at will.

Chen Yang suspected that the monsters mixed into the crowd of office workers during the few minutes after the fire alarm went off.

At 9:20, Qiao Qiao went to the elevator with the others, and the grumbling "Brother Yu" who pressed the elevator had turned into a monster.

"Pros and cons, up and down..." Chen Yang's body was covered with goosebumps, "The starting point is the elevator on the first floor, and the ending point is the elevator on the fourth floor?" "No."

Chen Yang denied himself: "The cars of the two elevators are parked on the third floor and the first floor respectively, and the fourth floor is empty even if you pry it open."

"Why don't we go to the fourth floor and pry open the elevator?" Chen Yang turned his head to discuss with Chao Jian again, his eyes were black and bright, he seemed to be halfway through solving a problem, and he came up with an algorithm with an open mind. wants to verify.

"Go if you want." Chao Jian pressed the phone case, he did not discourage Chen Yang's enthusiasm, nor did he directly disclose the verification results, and let the other party come in person.

Zheng Zhitan raised his eyebrows. Not everyone can be a student. Similarly, not everyone can be a teacher.

The mission world can still have this teaching quality, tsk.

Chen Yang did not rush to the fourth floor as planned. He, Chao Jian, and Zheng Zhitan stopped on the second floor, and they were greeted by a bloody corpse.

Pan Lin died.

The bloody hole was on Pan Lin's stomach, just like the place where Xiao Yao stabbed himself, bloody.

Chen Yang just glanced at it and then didn't look again, he asked the little mute what was going on.

The mute picked up a pen and wrote the story on the post-it note. He didn't write a few words for a long time. Finally, Qiao Qiao told Chen Yang: "He looked into the water downstairs."

Chen Yang frowned, and asked doubtfully, "Haven't all the taboos been lifted?"

Qiao Qiao shook her head in a trance, and she didn't know why Pan Lin acted like that.

Pan Lin's will to survive is much stronger than hers, and his goals are clearer. It is impossible for him to seek his own death.Must be obsessed.

"Ahhh" the mute made a hoarse voice, and typed the notebook chaotically with a pen.

【He was affected by the illusion! ! ! 】

The three exclamation points were filled with the dumb's fright.

Chen Yang's face changed slightly, illusion?His heart sank. The last monster killed himself and went to work early. It was different from the first three and had different abilities.

The illusion is covered with a layer of bittersweet shell, inside is an invisible blade and a tangible abyss. Chen Yang knows how terrible it is after experiencing it once. He saw the little mute touching his neck, and when he got closer, he found several bruises oozing blood. mark.

"How did you do it?" Chen Yang asked in a low voice.

The mute pointed to herself, her head drooped, and a few seconds later she wrote a sentence in the notebook.

【If I can speak, I might be able to stop Pan Lin in time...】

Chen Yang understood the intention of the little mute to choke her neck, as well as her weakness and frustration, so he rubbed her soft hair.

I can't help it, once the illusion catches the opportunity to invade the soul, it will be confused and it will not be so easy to wake up.

【I dare not rush up and drag him back. I am afraid that I will accidentally see the water downstairs, and I am even more afraid that someone will accidentally bump into him and fall with him. The ground is very wet and slippery, and the light is dim...】

[It happened too fast, in less than ten seconds, he had violated the taboo within the time I hesitated. 】The dumb pen stopped, and the tip of the pen poked a small hole in the paper.

"I'm also responsible." Qiao Qiao looked down at the hands on her legs. The white skirt was dirty, her long hair was messed up, and she looked very bad. She choked up slightly, "If I don't fall asleep..."

Chen Yang comforted the two little girls a few words, he walked to Chao Jian and sat down, his mind throbbing with pain.

Pan Lin is quite smart, and his ability to respond on the spot has passed the passing mark. What did he see and hear that made him run to the guardrail and look down in a daze?

Chen Yang was thoughtful. At that time, there were only three people downstairs, he, Chao Jian, and Zheng Zhitan. Among them, only Zheng Zhitan was closely related to Pan Lin.

The protagonist of that illusion is Zheng Zhitan.

Chen Yang thought to himself that Pan Lin was able to be drawn by the illusion, and couldn't resist jumping into it, which meant that the material used for the illusion created by Xiao Yao was not his inner fear.

Just the opposite.

Maybe it was something that fell into the deepest part of his heart at some point, and he couldn't even remember it, but it was used by monsters.

Chen Yang glanced at the smoking figure standing next to the corpse with his back turned. Perhaps for Pan Lin who had suffered secular persecution for a long time, Zheng Zhitan was the only one who pulled him out of the swamp.

Even if Zheng Zhitan's kindness to him was impure and mixed with many impurities.

Pan Lin did not rest in peace.

Zheng Zhitan watched his death condescendingly through the smoke, with a calm expression, as if he was reading a document, a report, or the signs and traffic lights on the street.A very common item.

The lingering smoke became more and more, floating in front of Zheng Zhitan's eyes line by line. He knelt down and touched the hole in Pan Lin's stomach with the hand holding the smoke, and the blood in his hand.

A distant picture popped up in his mind, stumped limbs and internal organs all over the floor, someone was spitting blood from his mouth and saying "live" in Zheng Zhitan's ear, the smoke between his fingers trembled, and it seemed that there was a piece of warm and smelly blood stuck in his throat. flesh and blood.

A second or two later, Zheng Zhitan made a weird chewing movement, raised his hand to cover Pan Lin's eyes, and wiped down.

Zheng Zhitan took his hand away, leaned closer, put his lips on the boy's squinting eye, and kissed him.

"Kids, let's go."

After a while, Zheng Zhitan got up and left.

Pan Lin lay quietly, and there was a cigarette butt next to the corpse, which gradually cooled down.

After nine o'clock in the morning, Chen Yang and five people went to the fourth floor. They opened the elevator on the right, but it was empty inside, so they didn't find it.

This result was beyond Chen Yang's expectation, but also expected.

Elimination works well when the odds are slim.

The sea water above the head is a misleading, not an exit, and now it is confirmed that the elevator on the fourth floor is not, so the rest...

Chen Yang gnawed on the knuckles of his index finger and faced Chao Jian, his mind seemed to be still and running at high speed.

Chao Jian didn't move or make a sound, letting Chen Yang stare at him in a daze.

When a person is thinking about a problem, the eyeballs cannot move around, and staying in one place is conducive to concentration.

Chaojian is that "place".

Chen Yang never faced this point squarely. Subconsciously, he would look at Chaojian when he couldn't think of anything, and he didn't look at it. To be precise, he wanted to find a place for his sight... to store it.

Time passed by, Chao Jian didn't make any noise to disturb Chen Yang, neither did the other three, they were in their own world.

The corridor on the fourth floor was even darker than the two floors below, and the lights of both flashlights were flashing.

Chen Yang's dry lips moved lightly, and he said to himself: "The elevator is the starting point of the mission. There are corpses first and then monsters. The elevator represents death..."

"Elevator...corpse...death...front and back...up and down...death..."

Chen Yang's eyes opened suddenly, and the breath he exhaled was extremely chaotic, and he muttered in a low voice: "Isn't death the opposite of a new life?!"

"The exit is the elevator on the right side of the first floor!" Chen Yang spoke quickly and clearly, his fingertips trembled with excitement, "The place with four corpses!"

All three eyes except for Chao Jian moved over.

The dumb slapped Laqiaoqiao, Qiaoqiao glanced at her, and helped her ask the question in her heart: "Are we going home by elevator?"

When Chen Yang heard the last two words, his thoughts became dull for a few seconds before he said, "I'm not sure yet. I won't have the answer until six o'clock in the evening."

Qiao Qiao blinked: "Six o'clock?"

"Well, that's when we get off work." Chen Yang showed a little smile.

The taboo and the way out are all on the bright side, and the rest is to wait.

Time moves forward slowly, it seems to deliberately oppose the task workers in the building, you want me to go faster, but I don't.

Chen Yang experienced the torment of office workers waiting to get off work. He cleared his backpack and took a nap against the wall. His hair was messed up, his chin was covered with blue, and his body also smelled bad. He was embarrassed and haggard.

Bending over to Jane, with a bag of milk tablets in front of him, he counted and played in the dark.

Chen Yang trembled, Chao Jian forgot where he was counting, he took out his mobile phone and clicked on it, his brows frowned, feeling that the time passed too slowly.

"I'm so hungry." Chen Yang snorted.

"There are plenty of milk tablets." Chao Jian threw a milk tablet to him.

"I want to eat something salty." Chen Yang reluctantly peeled it off and ate it.

Chao Jian: "It's not that there are two ham sausages."

"I want to eat something hot..." Chen Yang swallowed miserably. After four days, he ate a bucket of instant noodles on the first day, and the rest of the time he ate only snacks, nausea.

Well, it's good to have something to eat, it's better than starving, Chen Yang sighed.

"I have everything when I go out." Chao Jian painted cakes for Chen Yang.

"Have everything?" Chen Yang said, "Then I want to eat the grilled fish you invited me to eat a few months ago." He added information, "It's the fish I can't afford."

Chao Jian sneered: "Do you want to eat fish, or go to a small clinic?"

Chen Yang: "..."

Seeing that his mind was discovered, he simply admitted: "The main thing is to eat fish, and I will visit your friend by the way."

"As I said, they are not considered friends." Chao Jian corrected.

Chen Yang glanced at Jane: "She provides you with incense, but you don't pay for it. The friendship is so deep that you can't even be friends?"

Zhao Jian looked at him like a fool: "If you don't pay, you will give it away for nothing?"

"Then what did you give her?" Chen Yang asked.

Chao Jian's mood suddenly became low: "I don't want to say it."

Chen Yang: "..."

Qiao Qiao approached at this time, she came with a request, and went straight to the point without making a detour.

The mute did not accept her entrustment, so she could only change to another person.

After listening to Qiao Qiao's request, Chen Yang shook his head and said, "Things brought in from the real world can only be taken out by the corresponding taskers, no one else can."

Qiao Qiao's small face collapsed: "Is that so..." She cheered up again, and said with a hint of luck, "Mr. Chen, I still want to give you the book."

Chen Yang reminded helplessly: "Even if you can't take it out?"

"Even if you can't take it out." Qiao Qiao said with a smile.

Chen Yang sighed: "It's only a few hours before I get off work, and the road from the corridor entrance to the elevator door is not long, just close your eyes..."

The girl wasn't listening, the curve around her mouth was still there, but her body was lifeless.As if leaving get off work is going to die, without hope.

Chen Yang even ate and lived with him, and couldn't figure out the court slips that we shared adversity several times, let alone someone he had only known for three or four days, so he stopped talking and accepted the horoscope book that he couldn't take out.

Qiao Qiao sat back where she was, and she did everything she could, feeling very peaceful in her heart.

The mute patted Qiao Qiao's hand, don't worry, you'll be fine.

Qiao Qiao smiled at her, resigning herself to fate.

At around [-]:[-], everyone walked home like office workers preparing to get off work.

Zheng Zhitan asked as he went downstairs: "Mr. Chen, how do we deal with the illusion?"

Chen Yang paused, as a four-figure old tasker, wouldn't he know this?He glanced at Zheng Zhitan.

Zheng Zhitan looked like he was asking for advice humbly, it seemed like that.

"..." Chen Yang saw Qiao Qiao and the little mute looking over, and then he said: "Be firm in your mind, don't be distracted when you walk towards the exit, and don't waver every second."

Qiao Qiao felt that it was impossible to do it. Being distracted was easy and common, and he always deserted at work.

In addition, if you are not blind but have to close your eyes to walk, you will be very panicked and scared. In such an environment, it is basically impossible for ordinary people to concentrate.

The mute was absent-minded.

Chen Yang straightened her pigtails: "Be careful, it's the last."

The mute's attention was very scattered and she couldn't concentrate. If it was normal, she would be afraid of Chao Jian's desire for monopoly and would not let Chen Yang touch her.Now she can't care about this anymore, the bad premonition lasted for two or three days, and now it reached its peak, pressing on her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe.

The A3 building of the science and technology park is her second mission. The first one is the train station. At that time, she and Mr. Feng got on the train on time to leave the death trap, but halfway they found that instead of going home, they were going to the next death trap. It was a dead end. I didn't expect to meet a very powerful sister there, surnamed Xiang, and she completed the task only after she got the favor of the other party.

Good luck doesn't come every time. She doesn't have much experience in missions, and her ability and mentality are not strong enough. I'm afraid she has no chance to improve.

The mute thought of his parents, Li Zheng who was indirectly killed by him, Qiao Qiao who was in despair because of Li Zheng's death, and Pan Lin who she failed to rescue in time, and finally Feng Lao thought of the journey along the way. Bit by bit, her heart gradually calmed down, like a pool of water without ripples, the bottom of which is connected to the abyss.The abyss was full of people she had watched die.

"Intuition, sixth sense, etc. sometimes fail." Chen Yang frowned and looked at the two little girls who had no will to live, and he said seriously, "Until the end, no one knows what will happen, don't take it lightly. Give up, really, don't give up."

"The way home is from here to the elevator entrance, it's very short, cheer up!" Chen Yang raised his voice, his jawline tightened.

Qiao Qiao lowered his head, his eyes were red.

The mute straightened his back and tried his best to smile at Chen Yang with the corners of his mouth bent, okay, I won't give up.

Chen Yang let out a sigh of relief, the communication work was exhausting.

Chao Jian carried Chen Yang's backpack, put away his crutches, and leaned on his back: "Let's go."

Chen Yang carried the court slips on his back, and heard Zheng Zhitan, who was walking down past him, say leisurely, "It's time to get off work."

On the first floor, Chen Yang walked in the front with Chao Jian on his back, Dumb and Qiao Qiao walked together, Zheng Zhiqin was at the back.

"Close your eyes tightly and don't open them no matter what you hear!"

Chen Yang's voice was a little hoarse, and he groped forward step by step. The second trip was not easier than the first trip, but he was more cautious and nervous, and his hands rubbed a series of messy marks on the wall.

Five people walked in the water with four pairs of legs. The sound of splashing water was very loud. They all walked forward in silence, breathing heavily, and their eyes were dark.

Chen Yang counted the steps in his heart. When he counted to seventeen steps, he felt something, and his two legs that were moving in the water suddenly froze.

"Don't open your eyes!"

"Don't open your eyes!"

Two voices sounded at the same time, one was the court slip pressed against Chen Yang's ear, and the other was Zheng Zhitan who was walking at the end.

Chen Yang supported Chao Jian's hands and began to tremble. A conjecture popped up in his mind. At the moment when the conjecture swelled, there was a loud sound of water behind him. Someone fell down. The smell spreads.

Who is dead, there is no cry, no help.

Chen Yang tilted his head back, blue veins popped out on his forehead, his quivering eye sockets were gradually stained with moisture, it was the little girl who couldn't speak, his old teammate who had worked with him twice, she kept screaming Can't send it out.

"Go forward." Chao Jian's arms around Chen Yang's neck moved upwards, and turned over his face.

Chen Yang didn't move.

Kissed Jian's cold earlobe with warm breath: "Chen Yang, let's go!"

Chen Yang's stiff consciousness suddenly came to life, he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, took a step forward, and continued to walk forward.
