The audience in the live broadcast room was suddenly full of doubts.

—Isn’t she dead?

——Can MD stop cheating the corpse suddenly?

——This old woman is the one who plays the most in the whole building.

——Wori, I was so frightened that I poured milk tea on my body.

The old man stood at the door, and his body returned to the way Zhu Yi and the others saw her for the first time.

Although her face was strangely old, Zhu Yi saw that when they went to find the old man for the second time, all the corpse spots and signs of decay on her body were gone.

The furniture in the room also became clean, and the spider silk in the corner and the bowl of bloody soup with bugs swimming on the square table also returned to normal.

"You guys are back..." the old man squinted his eyes and asked, "Have you found my daughter?"

Lu Qi put the black cloth bag on the ground in front of her. Seeing this, the old man slowly lowered his head and his eyes fell on the bag.

Zhu Yi wasn't sure if the old man remembered that she had met them in the form of a corpse, but judging from the old man's behavior, the other party didn't seem to know what happened to him.

The old man squatted down slowly holding the door rail, stretched out his hand and opened the black cloth bag.

Suddenly, a dizzy stench came to the nostrils, mixed with a hint of tuberose fragrance, and Zhou Lanlan, who was not knowing why and was not mentally prepared, felt her scalp tingle when she smelled it.

Not so long ago she had held this bag tightly in her arms.

Thinking that she had such intimate contact with the corpse in her pocket, Zhou Lanlan suddenly felt like dying.

At this moment, the old man had completely unzipped the black cloth bag, and all the body parts were exposed to everyone's sight.

If an ordinary person asks others to find his daughter, but what he finds back is a bag of rotten meat, he will probably pass out immediately.

However, the old man was not afraid of these corpses, she didn't even ask Zhu Yi and Lu Qi if this was his daughter, she stretched out her hand to caress those corpses lovingly.

Just looking at the expression on her face and the movements of her hands, it was as gentle as if she was stroking the face of her living daughter.

But no one could ignore that under the back of her wrinkled and intertwined hands, there were corpses exuding a strange smell.

"Lihua...you're finally back..." The old man leaned down and hugged the whole bag tightly in his arms with tears in his eyes.

The zipper at the mouth of the bag was unzipped, and the body parts fell out of the bag because of the old man's movement, some fell on the ground, and some fell on the old man's clothes.

The arm that was not chopped up in the pocket was placed on her shoulder, as if conscious.

The old man murmured a few words like crazy, then stood up tremblingly, and picked up all the loose body parts into the bag.

She took the black cloth bag into the house and placed it by the bed in one of the bedrooms.

"What is she going to do?" Zhou Lanlan asked in a low voice.

Zhu Yi didn't know either, they hadn't received the notification that the task was completed yet, so it seemed that they had to wait here for a while.

I saw the old man sitting by the bed, taking out the body parts one by one from his pocket, just like holding those slaughtered pork in the market.

She placed these body parts on the bed, and after a while, Zhu Yi and the three finally understood what she was doing.

The old man was putting them together, using these broken parts to piece together his daughter.

Just like a broken vase, there is always a part that is broken into powder, and it is difficult to restore it to its original shape.The same is true for the corpse of the old man's daughter. The texture of the cracks has become shredded meat, and they can only be put back roughly where they should exist.

When the old man put all the body parts away, the fragmented corpse looked strange and terrifying, especially after the torn head was put together, no matter how the facial features were placed, it looked extremely horrifying.

The old man had no such thoughts at all. She took out the sewing box from the cabinet, apparently to sew up the body parts.

At this moment, Zhu Yi coughed, and the old man finally raised his head, realizing that he had ignored the guest in front of him.

"Thank you for finding my daughter back for me, cough cough." The old man coughed.

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Yi and Lu Qi's task pop-up window popped up.

[Compulsory task - to find the missing daughter.Current progress: Completed. 】

[Mission level - the level of the mountain of swords and the sea of ​​fire. 】

【mission rewards--

1. You have obtained 4 hearts.

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

"Where's your work handover form?" the old man asked.

"We haven't got it yet, can we come to you after we get it?" Zhu Yi asked.

"Yes..." the old man added after finishing speaking, "It's best to hurry up, don't disturb my reunion with Lihua."

Zhu Yi felt that there was something in the old man's words, and guessed that it had something to do with the fact that the old man had also turned into a corpse before.

Including Hunchback and Wang Baoan, the people in this apartment seem to switch between living and dead.

"By the way, I suddenly remembered when Lihua left the house." The old man said suddenly, "On the evening of August 2011th, [-], Lihua went downstairs to pick up the milk ordered by her family. She never came back after that."

After she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to caress the dead body on the bed: "Fortunately, I'm home now, my dear daughter, next time don't run around, and let Mom worry."

After all, Zhou Lanlan is a girl. Seeing such a weird scene, her heart felt as if two buckets were going up and down.Taking two steps back, he bumped into the cabinet in the bedroom.

She turned her head and saw a black and white posthumous photo on the cabinet. The main character in the photo was the old woman sitting in front of them.

The location of the posthumous photo is not conspicuous, if she hadn't touched it, she would never have glanced in that direction.

Zhou Lanlan almost cried out, desperately pinching her own palm to endure.

Fortunately, Zhu Yi and Lu Qi couldn't get any other words out of the old man's mouth, and quickly turned around and left the old man's house.

Zhou Lanlan followed closely behind them, letting out a long sigh as soon as they went out.

"Fuck, you guys have absolutely no idea what I just saw."

"You saw her posthumous photo." Zhu Yi said.

Lu Qi also looked at her with a calm expression.

"When did you see it?" Zhou Lanlan was shocked.

"While entering the door." The three of them walked to the elevator, and Zhu Yi changed the subject, "On August 2011th, [-], besides Lihua's disappearance, there was actually one other thing that happened."

Lu Qi heard the words and looked at him with the eyes of you talking and listening.

"I saw it on an old newspaper in a drawer in the security room. At eight o'clock that morning, a brick on the outer wall of Anju Apartment slipped and injured passers-by." Zhu Yi said, "At that time, the person in charge of the apartment found Construction workers made timely repairs to the exterior wall."

"It doesn't seem to be directly related to Lihua's disappearance."

"What really caught my attention was the content in the second newspaper." Zhu Yi said, "On August 2011th of the following year, a patient fell from a building in the Jiming Mountain Asylum. Strangely, the four people The last time they worked happened to be August [-], [-]. After that day, they became insane and finally went crazy."

"You want to say what they saw on August 2011, [-], and they were stimulated?" Lu nodded, "There is some secret hidden between these two events, and Lihua's disappearance may have something to do with this secret .”

"Why don't we just ask Wang Baoan directly." Zhou Lanlan suggested, "Didn't he just say he was waiting for us on the first floor?"

"Wang Baoan joined the company half a year ago, and he may not know about the future." Zhu Yi said, "But we can indeed start from him."

As they said that, they got into the elevator together and went down from the third floor to the first floor.As soon as the elevator door opened, two shadows passed in front of him.

Sensing the sudden light, the two shadows stopped immediately, turned around and looked back vigilantly.

"Zhu Yi!" It was Xie Xiaoying who spoke, and she shouted excitedly.

Zhu Yi looked at the person beside Xie Xiaoying, and it turned out to be Jiang Nian who had never appeared.

Xie Xiaoying stood in front of her properly, but Tang Yeli, who was supposed to be with her, disappeared.In addition, Xie Xiaoying and Jiang Nian came down from upstairs, so I don't know what happened in the middle.

"Where's Tang Yeli?" Zhu Yi asked.

"We're looking for him." Jiang Nian said when he heard his friend's name.

"Xie Xiaoying, haven't you stayed with Tang Yeli all the time?" Zhu Yi looked at Xie Xiaoying.

"Yes, after you went upstairs, Tang Yeli and I have been guarding the electric switch." Xie Xiaoying said, "After about 5 minutes, the electric switch jumped automatically. Tang Yeli and I went to pull the main switch. There will be a leakage. I passed out all of a sudden, and when I woke up, Tang Yeli was gone, and I didn’t see you going downstairs, so I had no choice but to go upstairs to find you.”

"She met me after that." Jiang Nian said softly, "I was going downstairs when I met Xie Xiaoying. I went with her to look for you, but in the corridor on the fifth floor, I met a... It was hard to understand. Described as a BOSS."

Lu Qi raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "Is it a bit like a zombie?"

Xie Xiaoying nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes. I can feel that it is very dangerous before it gets close."

"Chai Jun and I were forced down by this boss from the beginning." Seeing Zhu Yi staring at him, Lu Qi explained to him.

"How powerful is the boss that can force you to jump out of the window?" Zhu Yi said while rubbing his chin.

Lu Qi looked at him with a smile: "You'll know it when you see it."

In fact, he wasn't forced to go downstairs through the window, it was simply because he realized that Zhu Yi was downstairs at that time, so he didn't have time to get entangled with the boss, and was in a hurry to meet people.

But he can't say this, he can only find a reason to perfunctory.

"In short, we ran as hard as we could after meeting that zombie. Fortunately, Jiang Nian had been upstairs and found the safe house, otherwise we would have died." Xie Xiaoying said.

"The safe house is upstairs?"

"On the seventh floor, it's my reward for completing a mission." Jiang Nian said.

Xie Xiaoying showed a look of luck.

"We hid for a while, saw the zombies leave, and saw the elevator running, guessed if someone was using it, so we followed downstairs." Jiang Nian said, "It really is you."

Xie Xiaoying's eyes fell on Zhou Lanlan: "Where did you meet?"

Zhou Lanlan was about to speak, but was interrupted by Zhu Yi: "After the switch was opened, the elevator went upstairs. We met upstairs."

Seeing that Zhu Yi didn't intend to elaborate on the details, Xie Xiaoying couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Zhou Lanlan retracted her words, and looked at Zhu Yi and Xie Xiaoying unobtrusively.She had a feeling that Zhu Yi didn't seem to trust Xie Xiaoying.

Her natural sense of déjà vu and the strengthening of her premonition after entering the formal period made her more sensitive to this emotion.So after Zhu Yi interrupted her, Zhou Lanlan immediately saw this.

In fact, all of them were strangers to each other before the live broadcast started.But Zhou Lanlan noticed that Zhu Yi was more defensive towards Xie Xiaoying than towards her.

According to the time, Zhu Yi and Xie Xiaoying should have acted together earlier. Why did there be such a difference?

Zhou Lanlan suddenly felt a little uneasy, and wanted to take some time to use her premonition to see the future again.

However, when she was on the thirteenth floor, her abilities were already overdrawn, including when Zhu Yi asked her to watch it for the second time, her consciousness should have been lost in the cracks of time.But for some reason, she successfully regained consciousness from the state of premonition, and she could see more clearly.

Although there was such a precedent, Zhou Lanlan didn't dare to take the risk again, and could only wait for the recovery to be sure before using the premonition.

Xie Xiaoying and Jiang Nian joined them and walked towards the security room together.

The lights in the security room were on, and the door was different from when they left before. It was half-closed so that they could not see the scene inside the door from this position.

They walked over, pushed open the door, and found NPC Wang Baoan in a security uniform sitting at his desk.

Xie Xiaoying had seen Wang Baoan's registration photo, and heard the old man say that Wang Baoan was dead.At this moment, when he suddenly saw the other party's face, he trembled in fright.

Apart from his stiff expression, Wang Baoan was quite normal.

"You guys are here." He asked Zhu Yi, "Have you finished the handover work?"

"No."

"There is no reason to delay... Do you want to wait until dawn?" Wang Baoan raised the corners of his lips and smiled sinisterly.

"Wang Baoan, do you know what happened in the apartment on August [-] four years ago?" Zhou Lanlan asked anxiously.

"Four years ago?" Wang Baoan gave them a strange look, "I didn't come here to work four years ago."

"You really don't know anything?" Lu Qi asked at this moment.

For some reason, Wang Baoan hesitated for a moment after hearing Lu Qi's words: "I really don't know. But the surveillance in our apartment is always on, and the recorded surveillance will be stored."

"Where can I see the surveillance?" Zhu Yi asked.

"In a room on the tenth floor." Wang Baoan said.

Tenth floor?

Zhu Yi remembered that the first time he and Tang Yeli went to complete the elevator maintenance task, the elevator door was stuck on the tenth floor.

The tenth floor looked very different from the other floors, it was very clean and tidy, as if no one had ever lived there.

"Let's go to the tenth floor and have a look." Zhou Lanlan said.

"Why?" Xie Xiaoying asked puzzled, "Does what happened four years ago have anything to do with our customs clearance goal?"

"It has something to do with the progress of the plot exploration." Zhou Lanlan glanced at her, "And our goal of clearing the level seems simple, but there are traps everywhere. If you don't grasp the clues, you will step on the pit."

"But I always feel that there are other things besides the surveillance video on the tenth floor. Otherwise, why would he just tell us this clue." Xie Xiaoying retorted, "And our first task now is to find other people. They are always there may be in danger."

"If you want to find someone else, you can go by yourself." Zhu Yi said to her, "or choose to ride the elevator with us."

"Miss Xie, I also think it's better to go to the tenth floor first." Jiang Nian said, "Having more information is better than us looking around like headless chickens in this building."

Zhou Lanlan frowned, feeling that Xie Xiaoying's attitude was a bit strange.

In the end, everyone except Xie Xiaoying agreed to go to the tenth floor to watch the video first.Xie Xiaoying saw that other people's opinions were unwavering, so she didn't say anything more.

They returned to the elevator door and entered the elevator together.After the elevator door closed, Zhu Yi was about to press down to the tenth floor.

At this time, he suddenly heard a shaking sound.Very small, like a mosquito flapping its wings.

Lu Qi also heard this voice, and his eyes followed the source to Xie Xiaoying.

"What's ringing?" Lu Qi asked.

Xie Xiaoying blinked in confusion, looked down at her chest, and suddenly realized: "It's a knot of one heart!"

A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Could it be that Chai Jun is nearby?"

Zhu Yiwenyan reached out and pressed the second floor.After the elevator stabilized, the concentric knot on Xie Xiaoying's neck stopped vibrating.

"It seems that he is not on the second floor." Zhu Yi said.

"The sensing range of the concentric knot is generally on the same floor. When the elevator goes up to the second floor, the concentric knot no longer vibrates, which means her boyfriend is not upstairs." Jiang Nian said.

"It's not on the first floor either." Zhu Yi said, "If it's on the first floor, why didn't the concentric knot respond before entering the elevator?"

"Why is there only movement when you enter the elevator?" Zhou Lanlan frowned slightly, a light flashed in her eyes suddenly, "Could it be that her boyfriend is under the elevator!"

As soon as the words fell, Xie Xiaoying's expression froze on the spot, and then her voice trembled: "Impossible, how is it possible?"

Zhu Yiwen said to push the elevator back to the first floor and let everyone leave the elevator car.Before going out, he casually pressed a button to let the elevator go upstairs.

Lu Qi understood what he was going to do, and when the indicator light on the elevator door jumped to the number three, he stretched out his hand to open the elevator door, and Jiang Nian hurried forward to help when he saw this.

They quickly opened the door, and there was a dark elevator shaft inside, with a gloomy wind blowing from above.

Zhu Yi turned on the flashlight and took a photo down the elevator shaft, only to see that the bottom of the elevator shaft was more than one meter deep.

There should have been only some steel bars and mechanical parts of the elevator, but now, on that narrow square concrete floor, there were still two corpses lying on their backs.

A man and a woman are exactly Chai Jun and Long Ponytail.

Because the metal elevator that separated him went up, the concentric knot on Chai Jun's neck easily found his other half, and the vibration became more intense.

Xie Xiaoying sat directly on the ground, she uttered a cry of collapse, then knelt up and crawled towards the elevator shaft.

Seeing that he was about to fall into it, Jiang Nian quickly grabbed Xie Xiaoying.

"Chai Jun—!" Xie Xiaoying yelled almost heart-piercingly, her eyes instantly swelled into two apricot cores.

Seeing this, Zhou Lanlan knelt down and patted Xie Xiaoying's shoulder unbearably: "My condolences."

"No, he's not dead!" Xie Xiaoying grabbed Zhou Lanlan's hand at once, "Tell me that's not him!"

"This……"

"I'm going to accompany him!" Xie Xiaoying threw away Zhou Lanlan all of a sudden, struggling to jump down the elevator shaft with hands and feet.

"Miss Xie, people cannot be resurrected after death, and committing suicide is falling into the trap of the strange ghost." Jiang Nian persuaded, "You have to live with his hope."

"But... I never thought he would leave me like this..." Xie Xiaoying cried and said, "Chai Jun, you said, you will always be with me, will you stay with me like this?"

Zhu Yi stood aside, his eyes flicked over the corpse in the elevator shaft.

"What are you thinking?" Lu Qi bent down and asked next to his ear, the earlobe was a little numb due to the breath.

"I was wondering how the two of them died." Zhu Yi slightly turned his face to look at him, "After the elevator suddenly started, we saw Lihua by the door on the second floor."

"You think Lihua killed them?" Lu Qi asked.

"No, it's just the opposite." Zhu Yi said, "Lihua is not the boss who can instantly kill them, and both of them are official anchors, and they will not be without defensive props."

"And it took less than ten seconds for us to ascend to the top floor. After ten seconds, Lihua had already appeared in the elevator." Zhu Yi said, "Unless she has the technique of splitting herself, there is no way to attack two groups of people at the same time."

"Maybe she does." Lu Qi joked.

"Let's talk about it, now I can't think of why." After Zhu Yi finished speaking, he suddenly pushed Lu up uncomfortably, "If you want to talk, talk well."

When he was talking just now, Lu Qi stuck too close, almost sucking his earlobes in.

Lu Qi's brows stretched out, underneath were a pair of smiling eyes with bright starlight, as if seeing Zhu Yi shriveled made him extremely happy.

Zhou Lanlan, who was still comforting Xie Xiaoying, looked up and saw that Zhu Yi and Lu Qi seemed to be flirting.In addition, the two deliberately lowered their voices, Zhou Lanlan couldn't hear the content of the conversation, and she sat down in her heart for the crime of showing affection regardless of the occasion.

Xie Xiaoying cried for a long time, and she has recovered a little.

She choked up and got up from the ground: "Thank you for waiting for me. I know it's useless to cry in this situation, but thank you for giving me time."

"It's okay, we understand you." Jiang Nian reached out and patted her shoulder and said.

Hearing his gentle voice, Xie Xiaoying couldn't help but threw herself into Jiang Nian's arms, buried her head and cried.

Jiang Nian's movements suddenly became quite awkward, and he tentatively pushed Xie Xiaoying's arm.

Xie Xiaoying realized that she had lost her composure, straightened up and apologized to him, and then showed a strong but reluctant smile: "I'm fine, let's go upstairs."

She took one last look at the elevator shaft and turned her head.

Jiang Nian hummed and closed the elevator door.Seeing this, Zhu Yi stepped forward and pushed the elevator down from upstairs.

Zhou Lanlan glanced around among the crowd, and suddenly felt that sense of disobedience became stronger.
