The light reflected from the green wall of the security room hit his face, and he looked very gloomy: "Who knows, we only have this one elevator, and it is always stuck, and it will always break after repairing it several times."

If there is nothing in the elevator, no ghost will believe it.

Tang Yeli's heart tightened, and he wanted to change the topic: "It's useless for you to find us, we are security guards, not professional maintenance personnel."

"Wang Baoan used to do everything, all year round." The hunchback said, "Besides, if you want to take office, you need our signature and grade."

As soon as the hunchback finished speaking, Zhu Yi and Tang Yeli's mission prompts popped up.

[Non-mandatory task - check the elevator.

(The elevators in Anju Apartment have been malfunctioning all year round, and the residents are quite helpless. Today, the residents came to you to repair the elevator.)]

[Mission Difficulty - Walking on thin ice. 】

【mission rewards--

1. Three careful hearts.

2. After completion, the resident will sign and grade your work handover form. 】

[Would you like to accept this task? 】

Fortunately, it is not a mandatory task...

Seeing the non-mandatory tasks that popped up, Tang Yeli couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Let's forget it, there is no need to accept non-mandatory tasks."

The hunchbacked tone was threatening: "Are you sure? Wang Baoan is—"

Seeing this, Tang Yeli exploded: "Wang Baoan is willing to be a hard-earned laborer oppressed by capital, but it doesn't mean we are willing to do so. Get out!"

Tang Yeli was very emotional. He didn't know what he had experienced before becoming an anchor, which made him hate capitalists so much.

Zhu Yi turned to look at his indignant expression and was silent for two seconds.

"Ahem." Tang Yeli knew that he was a little out of control, and explained embarrassingly, "I mean that one thing more is worse than one thing less."

"It's okay, you don't have to go, but I accept this task." Zhu Yi said to the hunchback.

After he finished speaking, the color of the mission prompt changed.

"But the elevator is so dangerous." Tang Yeli felt something was wrong.

"Look at this." Zhu Yi showed Wang Baoan's work record manual to him.

Wang Baoan's daily work does include elevator inspections, and the first page of the work record manual is Wang Baoan's on-the-job scoring sheet.There are many names signed on it, and it is true that as the hunchback said, the users of this apartment need to rate the job.

Although I don't know how many are needed, but according to the law of live broadcast, the difficulty of the tasks that appear at the beginning will be relatively low.

If the resident’s signature is still required in the end, the subsequent tasks will definitely be more difficult than the non-mandatory tasks at the beginning of the live broadcast.

"Okay, I accept it too." Tang Yeli compromised, and looked at the landline phone that had been ringing all the time, "Should we answer the phone?"

The phone rang for so long that it didn't stop, like a constant background sound, he almost forgot.

"Don't panic." Zhu Yi said.

With the experience of these few live broadcasts, Zhu Yi also realized the maliciousness of the system.After this kind of call is connected, it is likely to be an extremely cheating compulsory task.

If the hunchback didn't come, it didn't matter if he answered the phone.It's just that the hunchback also carries tasks, so I don't know what impact it will have.

"Okay, then you all come with me." Seeing this, the hunchback smiled coldly, turned around and merged his body into the darkness.

Zhu Yi and Tang Yeli followed him out of the security room. After they walked through the narrow corridor with closed rooms on the left and right, an elevator door appeared in front of them.

The metal door of the elevator looked out of place with the molted wall. Although there were many small advertisements on the door and there were still some stains, it looked very brand new compared to the wall that was smeared with water due to years of humidity.

"Has this elevator been repaired?" Zhu Yi asked.

"Yes." The hunchback said, "The elevator was broken before."

"When did it break?" Tang Yeli asked.

"Before I moved in." The hunchback said, "I don't know exactly when."

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pressed the elevator button, only to hear a creaking sound of the ropes descending in the elevator shaft.After a while, the number changed to "1" on the small screen showing the floor directly above the elevator door.

With a ding, the elevator doors slowly opened to both sides.The cleanliness of the elevator room was terrible. Small advertisements were pasted everywhere on the four walls of the mirror, and two advertisement boards were nailed on the left and right sides, promoting a promotional activity of a certain supermarket.The event took place on a certain day in 2014, and it was already last year when the live broadcast started.

The ceiling light is yellow, but the dust on the lampshade should not be cleaned for a long time, so that the light is dim, like a layer of transparent yellow plastic covering the face of the woman holding a spatula on two advertising posters.

The hunchback said in a low voice: "Every time I take the elevator up and down, the elevator door will always open automatically at a certain floor. But after opening, it takes a long time to close."

Tang Yeli regretted what he said. The ringing of the phone in the security room kept passing through the corridor and into his ears, as if converging into a song of sending criminals.

Zhu Yi asked the hunchback: "Which first floor is it?"

The hunchback said: "The number of floors on the display board is inaccurate. Sometimes when the door is opened, there is a wall outside."

When Tang Yeli heard it, he felt even more uneasy.

After the elevator was opened, the outside was sealed. If something happened in the elevator, I thought with my little toes, and knew that it would be difficult for them to escape.

"Hurry up and go in..." the hunchback said.

"Aren't you with us?" Tang Yeli asked.

Although the hunchback looks quite scary, at least the communication is not hindered, it should be a normal NPC in the live broadcast.

"There is a problem with the elevator, why should I go up?" The hunchback showed a sinister smile.

While they were talking, Zhu Yi stepped directly into the elevator room, and the dim light shone from above his head, casting a shadow on his eyebrows.

He urged: "Hurry up."

Tang Yeli swallowed involuntarily: "Okay."

He hesitated and stepped into the elevator room, the elevator door closed little by little, and the hunched figure gradually disappeared into it.

"Which floor are we going to?" Tang Yeli asked.

"Go directly to the top floor." Zhu Yi said, "The hunchback didn't tell us which floor the problem occurred, but only searched layer by layer."

There are twelve floors of elevator buttons, Zhu Yi stretched out his hand and pressed the square representing the twelve floors.The elevator started to move, and it could be felt to be rising slowly.

Zhu Yi withdrew his fingers thoughtfully.

"What's wrong?" Seeing his movements, Tang Yeli's heart tightened for no reason.

"It's a bit sticky." Zhu Yi said while rubbing his thumb and index finger.

Hearing this, Tang Yeli leaned his head closer, and suddenly his face changed: "Damn, what the hell is on it?"

He sniffed it with his nose: "Is... blood?"

Suddenly, he felt two fingers on his shoulder, and then the two fingers rubbed against it a few times.

Tang Yeli turned back trembling, and found that Zhu Yi was innocently wiping his fingers with his clothes.

"Your sister, why are you rubbing blood on me?" he roared.

"Sorry." Zhu Yi blinked and said.

A sentence suddenly popped up in Tang Yeli's mind - if this child is not eliminated, there must be serious trouble.

During this period, the elevator has successfully reached the twelfth floor.Except for some slight shaking, the elevator ran very smoothly, and there was no such thing as the hunchback saying that the door suddenly got stuck.

With a ding dong, the elevator door slowly opened.Facing him was a dark corridor, similar to the one on the first floor, except that there was more smoke on this floor.

There are signs of entry and exit at the door of each household, some with a few pairs of shoes, some nailed milk crates, and some with buckets of mineral water.

"What should we do now?" Tang Yeli asked, staring at the unknown in front of him.

"Go on." Zhu Yi said.

In the next second, Tang Yeli found that his hand was taken by Zhu Yi, and then he was grabbed by his wrist to press the elevator button on the first floor.

"Your sister!" Tang Yeli burst into tears as she stared at her tainted and innocent fingers.

Without feeling guilty, Zhu Yi looked up at the floor numbers in the elevator.

Luck will not always be on one side. When going down this time, the vibration of the elevator began to become violent.When I went down to the tenth floor, there was a violent earthquake, and then I stopped moving.

The lights in the elevator flickered a few times, and in the intermittent darkness, the elevator doors slowly opened to both sides.

A corridor appeared in front of them, but the strange thing was that this time the corridor looked different from the one on the twelfth floor, lacking the traces of people who lived there.

Every door is very clean, including the wall that should have been covered with small notes, and it looks like it has been newly painted, which is particularly awkward in this old apartment.

Tang Yeli's hands were already stained with mucus. At this time, the jar was smashed and he pressed the close button several times.The elevator door began to close inward under his control, but when the two halves of the door were about to touch together, the metal door seemed to be pulled back by some force, bounced and opened again.

"It's stuck." Tang Yeli asked, "But how to repair it? We don't have any tools."

When he was talking, the frequency of opening and closing of the elevator was getting higher and higher, and the sliding shaft seemed to have added a circle of sawtooth. Every time it closed, it would make a sound of kazkaz, as if a piece of wood was frizzy. The sound of scraping metal.

Snapped!

This time the elevator door opened loudly, like a hammer hammering in the elevator shaft.Tang Yeli was startled by the sound, and took a few steps back, leaning against the metal wall behind him.

He stood on the right side of the elevator, and when he stepped back, he caught a glimpse of a supermarket promotional poster on the wall next to him. The female model kept smirking at them in the elevator as always.

Tang Yeli didn't know if it was his own illusion, but suddenly felt that the female model's eyeballs moved, as if they followed his back and turned towards his face.

He was even more anxious in his heart, wishing he could finish the task right away.

"Is there something in the gap?" Tang Yeli suggested, "It's useless to stay here all the time, or let's take a look when the elevator door opens."

As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator door opened and remained motionless as if he had heard his voice and was waiting for inspection.

Abnormality must be different, and Tang Yeli's eagerness to try was extinguished.

Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, Zhu Yi turned to look at him.

Tang Yeli asked: "What are you doing looking at me?"

Zhu Yi: "Don't you want to go up and have a look?"

Tang Yeli wanted to wait for Zhu Yi to go up for inspection, but Zhu Yi had a thicker skin than him and completely excluded himself from this thankless job.

However, Zhu Yi has already mentioned this point, and this suggestion was indeed put forward by Tang Yeli himself. If he does not set an example, not only will the temporary alliance between him and Zhu Yi collapse, but it may also be because of this. The incident was publicly executed by an outraged audience in the watering area of ​​the forum.

But let him go up alone is absolutely unwilling.

Tang Yeli thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go and have a look together, the main reason is that my IQ is a bit low, in case I didn't notice the clue."

Tang Yeli looked at him with a miserable face, and also prayed a little, almost saying "please" on his lips.

"Okay." Zhu Yi didn't object. He glanced at him and walked to the elevator door.

He looked down at the slot between the elevator door and the corridor, as if something was indeed stuck there.

The lighting in the elevator was not sufficient enough, only what appeared to be some black objects were caught in it.Tang Yeli squatted down boldly, squinted his eyes and looked into the gap.

"It's not completely inside, but a little bit is exposed, so it should be able to be removed."

Zhu Yiwen also squatted down, and at this moment, those exposed parts suddenly moved.Zhu Yi was surprised, and blew into the gap, and sure enough, the black matter started to move again.

They swayed at first, and then gradually stretched, spreading out of the gap like silkworms spinning silk.

It was hair, a mass of black, smooth hair.

At this moment, Zhu Yi smelled a smell of soot, a bit like burnt glutinous rice.

He immediately took a step back, grabbed Tang Yeli's vest, and pulled him back sharply.

The moment the two backed away, the elevator door in front of them slammed shut.The buffer mechanism to prevent pinching seems to have lost its effect. If Zhu Yi hadn't pulled Tang Yeli in, half of Tang Yeli's head would have been lost.

"I... rely on..." Tang Yeli escaped from death, patted his chest and panted.

Zhu Yi touched the rhinoceros horn amulet hanging around his neck, and the small cloth bag wrapped in rhinoceros powder had been burnt through a hole.

It seems that the killing intent of the spirit was detected just now, and after reminding Zhu Yi, he died honorably.

However, the elevator was still motionless at this moment, and the hair protruding from the gap seemed to have life, and passed in the direction of their feet.

The amulet can only remind, but cannot attack.

In the narrow elevator, the yellow lights shone on each other's faces, and the walls and floors glowed with a strange and twisted color.Tang Yeli didn't know if it was his own illusion. He felt that the posters on both sides were moving towards them, as if together with their hair, they compressed their living space.

Seeing that those hairs were about to fall to their feet, a black knife suddenly appeared in Zhu Yi's hand, which looked like a kitchen knife, but it cut off the hair in front of him at once.

The severed hair on the ground immediately lost its vitality, and the rest of the hair suffered great damage and retracted at an extremely slow speed.

Tang Yeli looked at the kitchen knife-shaped knife in Zhu Yi's hand and asked, "Is this the soul-breaking blade?"

Zhu Yi nodded and put the knife back into the scabbard.After this use, the knife must be separated by another two hours before it can be effectively used.

"It's a good thing you brought offensive props, otherwise we would have to explain it here." Tang Yeli complained, "It's all because Jiang Nian didn't let me use offensive props."

Zhu Yi asked casually, "Why?"

Tang Yeli said: "Isn't it just that I accidentally stuck a dart on his ass last time, and he almost died in the live broadcast?"

After hearing this, Zhu Yi felt that Tang Yeli was really talented. He was already in his twenties, and he was quite different from his friends.Even more childish than Blue Chip, a kid who doesn't know if he's an adult or not.

Tang Yeli didn't know that he had been given a childish title in Zhu Yi's heart.

He breathed a sigh of relief looking at the hair that had completely stopped moving on the ground, and asked again: "When they all go back, it should be fine."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of a heavy object falling from above his head.

When the two looked up, they saw a bulge on the top of the elevator.Upon closer inspection, the protrusion actually cracked from the middle.

At this moment, a pale to blue hand appeared in the black gap.This hand grabbed the air indiscriminately, and suddenly firmly buckled the metal plate on the elevator roof, and then the gap became wider.

Then, what appeared in front of their eyes was not just hands, but a whole arm stretched out, like a fish slipping through the river, constantly shaking and groping, the movements were soft and boneless.

The owner of this arm seems to be temporarily unable to squeeze into the elevator. Only one arm protrudes through the metal plate. The top of the elevator looks like an arm has grown out, and it looks like a mollusk clinging to the reef in the deep sea.

"What is this shit?" Tang Yeli squatted down directly, afraid that the arm would touch him.

He raised his head and wanted to move himself to the corner of the elevator, but when he raised his head, he saw an eye with abnormally large pupils looking at him in the opening squeezed out by his arm.

He had preconceived ideas, thinking that there was only one hand on the top of the elevator, but when he suddenly saw the eyes, he didn't realize it all at once, and looked at it for another two seconds.

At this time, he suddenly discovered that it was not a single eye, but embedded in a piece of flesh.

Tang Yeli could only use a piece of meat to describe what he saw, because what was stuck in the gap was indeed a small piece of meat.Only as big as a woman's slap, uneven, and as pale as an arm.

That eye blinked, and Tang Yeli sat down on the ground in fright.

Zhu Yi also saw this eye. He was leaning against the corner of the wall, his eyes moving on the upper arm and the unretracted hair.

The task is to solve the problem that the elevator door is stuck. Now the problem is obvious, it is blocked by hair.If you want the elevator to move, you have to pull out all the hair, or let them go back.

The sudden appearance of ghosts overhead adds to the difficulty, otherwise they can have a respite to study the already non-aggressive hair on the ground.

At this moment, the elevator roof was hit again, and a raised part appeared on the metal zenith.Similar to the previous one, it is also a small-scale bulge, and there is also a crack in the middle.

pat.

A piece fell into the elevator from that gap. Zhu Yi looked down and saw that the person lying on the ground turned out to be the lower half of a person's face.

From the bottom of the nose to the chin, it was included, as if it had been gouged out of someone's face.

The lips of that face were still parted, and blood so dark that it was dark hung on the lower lip, staining the chin red as well.

Because there is only a small piece, it even looks like pewter thrown in red dye.

When it fell, the piece of meat fell right in front of Tang Yeli. If he hadn't moved quickly, the piece of meat would have already been lying on his lap.

Tang Yeli looked at the piece of meat with lingering fear. At this moment, he found that the piece of meat in front of him began to squirm, burrowing toward him like a bug.

Zhu Yi saw that Tang Yeli used a posture that was beyond common human movements, and suddenly changed from sitting on the ground with his feet open to a pillar standing straight against the corner of the wall.

Tang Yeli really wanted to leave from the corner, but there was hair in front, pieces of meat on the left, and elevator walls on the right and behind, and there was no way to escape for a while.

"Why is it chasing me!" Tang Yeli stared at the piece of meat, his scalp tingling.

At this moment, he saw Zhu Yi suddenly stretched out his leg and stepped on the piece of meat.

Tang Yeli heard a chirp, and he reckoned it was the sound made by Zhu Yi's shoes stepping on a piece of meat. It sounded nothing strange, but thinking of the appearance of that piece of meat, Tang Yeli suddenly felt like he was going to spit out the meal he ate yesterday. up.

Tang Yeli shifted his gaze from Zhu Yi's shoes to his face, and found that Zhu Yi was expressionless, as if he was stepping on a piece of thick paper instead of a corpse that leaked from the elevator shaft.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Zhu Yi kick the corpse into those hairs.The moment the originally motionless hair came into contact with a foreign object, it engulfed the flesh like a poisonous snake that had been dormant for a long time.

"Why are you so courageous?" Tang Yeli sighed involuntarily.

"Come here and squat down." Zhu Yi suddenly said to him.

"What?" Tang Yeli was bewildered, but Zhu Yi rescued him from the pinch, and he instinctively followed Zhu Yi's request.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yi stepped on his shoulder while holding on to the elevator wall.

Tang Yeli struggled a bit, and heard Zhu Yi say don't move.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yi stood up with his whole body. After standing up straight, he was only five centimeters away from the ceiling.

All he had to do was look up to see that strange eye.A white silk-like arm was swaying in front of him. Although the two of them were leaning against the corner, Zhu Yi was still very close to that arm at this time, and it seemed that it would be caught at any moment.

At this moment, there was another loud noise from the top of the elevator.The bulge was right on top of Zhu Yi's head, and because of the sudden bulge, the metal plate on the elevator roof had already touched Zhu Yi's hair.

The metal plate began to crack, and Zhu Yi heard a smell of corpse coming from there.

The color is dark black, with green and yellow mixed in, it is a mass of rotting internal organs.Because the internal organs are soft, this time they did not fall out in one piece, but permeated down bit by bit.

"Damn." Tang Yeli saw it out of the corner of his eye, and almost squatted down so that Zhu Yi would fall from above.

"You don't move."

Zhu Yi's voice seemed to have a soothing magic power, Tang Yeli steadied his footsteps, holding on to the wall to keep himself balanced.

Zhu Yize took out a red thread from his bag, raised his hand and stuck it on the far right side of the elevator roof.
