[Infinite] End Game

Tang Yu was stunned for a moment before he realized that what the man Xie Ding was talking about should be the green onions in the flower bed. Seeing that the man had a bad expression, Tang Yu quickly smiled, waved his hands and said, "No, I just ate too much. If you want to clear up your food, then come back."

Hearing Tang Yu's explanation, the middle-aged man snorted, threw the garbage into the green trash can next to the building wall, and turned back.

Si Yan watched the back of the middle-aged man disappear into the corridor, and subconsciously took half a step back, with a look of surprise and confusion.

"What's going on here? It was all dark just now... Were these people in the building before but didn't turn on the lights?" Si Yan said, "And it wasn't surprising that the person saw us just now, he knew us?"

"It should be the setting of the dungeon." Tang Yu said, "After we got the keys and door cards, these residents and guards will default that we are the residents of this apartment, otherwise, if someone uses the reason of entering the house privately, call the police and call the police." Let's grab it, and the dungeon won't have to go down."

As for these residents, compared to the explanation that they have been in the room without turning on the lights, it is more reasonable: these residents suddenly appeared out of thin air, and this apartment suddenly came to life—just why it happened, Further searching for clues is required.

"Brother Chang," Tang Yu turned to look at Chang He, and asked, "Is there anything unusual about that elder brother?"

"No." Chang He shook his head, feeling like an ordinary bald middle-aged man.

"Well, let's go in too." Tang Yu looked up at the brightly lit corridor, thought for a while and said, "Take the elevator this time."

The old brother Xie Ding had already returned upstairs. When Tang Yu reached the elevator door, the elevator was stopping on the twelfth floor. The previous big brother should be a resident on the twelfth floor.

Tang Yu pressed the up button, and it took a few seconds in the elevator shaft to hear the sound of steel bars rubbing against mechanical parts. Hearing this sound, he knew that this elevator should have been in operation for many years.

A 28-story apartment building with three households on each floor, conservatively estimated that there are about 100 people living there, but the elevator is built so small that it can only accommodate seven people.

There are wooden boards nailed on three sides of the elevator car, and various small advertisements are densely pasted on the wooden boards, either handwritten or printed with ink. Tang Yu glanced at them roughly, and there are fast food orders, unlocking certificates, and various advertisements. There are all kinds of advertisements for water delivery, ventilation, dredging of sewers, purchase of cockroach and rat poison, and some advertisements for beauty and slimming treatments for skin diseases.

Many buttons on the elevator control panel also fell off. Tang Yu pressed a button on only half of the "2" and the almost worn-out "0". Suddenly, he saw a black mark exposed under the edge of a small advertisement.

Tang Yu paused for a moment, then raised his hand and carefully tore off the tape, lifted up the pieces of advertising paper, and the writing hidden underneath came into the sight of several people.

It's a phone number, written in red marker, and you should have used a lot of force when you wrote it, because it has scratched the paper underneath.I don’t know whether it’s unlocking or what, because there is nothing marked next to the number, but it seems to be “1” and “5” at the beginning, and the rest is completely unclear because the number is smeared with thick black paint. Cover up, block it tightly.

There was a big fork on the paint, and there were two big characters written with a brush dipped in paint beside it.

"Bitch."

The handwriting is not good, and there is a very clear taste of resentment in the distortion, and there is a shocking sense of impact when it falls on the wooden board.

Tang Yu didn't speak, and pasted the small advertisement back to block the blacked out number and the resentful handwriting.

The elevator soon stopped on the 20th floor. Tang Yu and Chang He stood in the elevator and watched Si Nian enter the house and closed the door before pressing the button for the 18th floor. However, the elevator door did not go down after closing, but After a shock, it climbed slowly upwards.

...Is someone calling upstairs?

Tang Yu stared at the slowly upward display panel, and tightened his fingers on the handrail.

However, it was a little surprising that the elevator only climbed to the 21st floor and stopped. After the door was opened, the lights in the elevator illuminated the scene at the door. Standing at the door holding hands, they raised their heads at the same time when they heard the voice. The two faces under the light were almost identical.

What made this scene even more weird was that the dark pupils of the two little girls were equally empty and lifeless. They stared blankly at Tang Yu, their shadows were folded by the light, covering the ground and then cast on the wall. Look upright.

For a moment, the air in the corridor and the elevator was filled with silence, and the two little girls were only around Tang Yu's waist. Tang Yu thought about it for a while, then slowly squatted down to look at them, and said as softly as possible: " Do you want to take the elevator?"

The two little girls still didn't speak, they just stared straight at Tang Yu with their dark eyes, but just when Tang Yu thought they wouldn't answer, the two little girls turned around suddenly, and ran towards Tang Yu, arm in arm. into the depths of the corridor.

The two little girls seemed to be wearing heeled shoes, and their footsteps made a lot of noise when they ran, but the lights in the corridor did not turn on.I don't know if the darkness elongated the vision, the corridor that could be seen at a glance suddenly became farther away, and the two red skirts seemed to have run for a long time before disappearing into the darkness.

Tang Yu kept staring at the two backs without moving, but the automatically closing elevator door suddenly called back Tang Yu's reason.

If there is no operation and no one is going up and down, the automatic opening and closing time of the elevator door is 30 seconds, so it is actually only 30 seconds from when he saw the two little girls to when they ran into the darkness. his hallucinations.

"What's wrong?" Chang He's voice sounded beside him, and he said, "Did something happen?"

Tang Yu's mood was calmed down by Chang He's worried gaze. He shook his head slightly, and stood up with Chang He's extended hand.The moment his palms touched, Tang Yu realized that his palms had been soaked with sweat at some point, and his fingertips were also a little cold.

Tang Yu instinctively twitched his hand, feeling that it was not good to rub sweat on someone's hand, but Chang He grabbed it, and his wet and cold fingertips fell on the warm and dry palm. Tang Yu lowered his eyes subconsciously, and his thick eyelashes cast a gentle light and shadow on the eyelids.

"...Well." Tang Yu responded and said, "What did you see just now?"

"There are two girls, but they ran away after you squatted down." Chang He briefly described, looked at Tang Yu and said, "You look a little uncomfortable, so there is something extra, it's me Didn't you notice?"

"No." Tang Yu exhaled lightly, and adjusted his emotions, "I see exactly the same as you, but it seems that the time is a bit long."

"Let's go," Tang Yu clicked the button on the 18th floor, looked at the elevator board to indicate the descent, then pointed to the food box in Chang He's hand, and smiled at him: "I may be a little tired, let's take the food first." Send it to Sanhua, and then go back and rest."
