Chapter 784 Arrival

"Three years ago, this was the city's traditional Chinese medicine hospital. Later, the CBD was built in the city, and the rumor that a high-speed rail was going to be built here was also broken. The hospital decided to relocate to the more densely populated city center. Developers of this land have not yet I have been thinking about what new industries to build, but they have been abandoned, and the hospital has been in disrepair and turned into a dilapidated building. Those who can afford it find it too far away, and those who cannot afford it are looked down upon by the bidders. It has been delayed until now." During the mobile communication, the execution The commissioner of the Ministry of Intelligence Section was briefing Lin Nian on the situation.

On the large screen in the central control room, the camera follows Lin Nian as he strides forward. There are mottled walls and broken windows on both sides, damp water stains and moss spread in every dark corner, and green fast-track light signs. Extinguished and hanging diagonally from the ceiling, spiders inhabit the inner structure of the light sign, and their compound eyes reflect the figures walking by in the corridor.

"The environment is very suitable for shooting ghost movies." Lin Nian commented pertinently.

"In fact, a year ago this place was still a famous place for young people to take risks to explore ghosts. But later, because of real cases of injury and death, many people stayed away from this place." said the Commissioner of the Intelligence Section. "It is said that young people who take risks are The man mistook the beggar who was sheltering from the rain for a ghost, and stabbed him in the gut with a self-defense dagger when the light source was insufficient. After escaping from the hospital, the young man who committed the crime realized that his hands were full of blood and called the police. By the time the police arrived it was too late.”

"So there are basically no people waiting to come near here."

“Even homeless people are not willing to live in it,” said the Intelligence Section Commissioner.

"It's true that I didn't see anyone here, but the GPS has reminded me that I have arrived at my destination." Lin Nian stood still. He was now in the waiting hall in the center of the building, and his and Chu Zihang's locations were displayed on his mobile phone. The red dots overlapped. He walked from the first floor to the top floor and then back down. Every floor was extremely quiet, without any sign of human habitation.

"According to the blueprint when the hospital was built, you did not explore the entire area." The intelligence department specialist looked at the map on the small screen and said, "You missed the bottom floor of the hospital."

"Underground parking lot?" Lin Nian looked towards the express lane.

"No, it's a deeper place that can only be reached by elevators." said the Intelligence Section Commissioner.

"where is that?"

"Morgue."

"The morgue always has to be built underground?"

"Save space. In order to prevent the body from rotting, it also needs to be stored in a low-temperature environment. The underground space is more suitable for ice storage, and it can also save a lot of money on electricity bills. As for why it can only be accessed by elevator, I am afraid it is because I am worried that the body of the deceased will be stolen by unrelated persons. Are you tampering without permission?"

"Who would be crazy enough to touch a dead body?"

"Not everyone is willing to sign a body donation agreement, and not everyone goes to the morgue to commemorate the deceased."

"But can the hospital elevator that has been abandoned for three years still run?" Lin Nian walked to the elevator and pressed the rusty elevator button. He looked down and saw that his fingertips were covered with dust.

But what he didn't expect was that he heard a crisp 'ding' sound before he raised his head. The elevator door actually opened in front of him, and a dimly lit elevator greeted him calmly.

"You can take the elevator shaft. Usually there are maintenance stairs in the elevator shaft." Before the intelligence department specialist finished speaking, he saw the scene in front of Lin Nian on the screen. The elevator that had been in disrepair for three years was still running with electricity. , this is obviously abnormal.

"This is an invitation to me." Lin Nian poked his head inside.

"Please be sure not to get on this elevator." The Commissioner of the Intelligence Section looked a little strange and nervous. He raised his head and glanced at the silent Minister Schneider in front of him, and persuaded, "Commissioner Lin, that building has indeed been deserted for three years. It’s under management, and the fact that the elevator is still running must be someone who did it deliberately. This is 100% a trap.”

"Hey, think about it, at midnight you and a group of friends came to the hospital that had been abandoned for three years to see ghosts in high spirits. You had already planned that nothing would happen if you scared yourself, but an elevator door suddenly It's open to you, are you going in or not?" Lin Nian stood in front of the elevator door and said, looking left and right. His eyes fell on a camera in the corner of the elevator. He looked at the camera and crossed his eyebrows with two fingers. He said hello and walked into the elevator without hesitation.

"Damn it." The intelligence department specialist immediately lay back on his seat with a complicated expression.

"How many floors underground is the morgue?" Lin Nian looked down at the floor of the elevator and found that there was a strange track. He squatted down and observed the fresh scratches on the track and looked up at the elevator door.

“At minus three levels, the signal may be severely affected.”

"I'm used to it." Lin Nian said as he stood up and glanced at his phone. Sure enough, the signal on it suddenly dropped to one level after the elevator door closed. The voice of the specialist on the other end of the phone also became intermittent. The elevator began to vibrate and then moved towards the direction. When the signal is turned off, it is completely reset to zero, leaving only a gray X.

In the central control room, the picture on the big screen was frozen at the moment when the elevator door closed, and Norma's voice sounded steadily, "Lost connection with the former commissioner line."

"Isn't there a way to access the hospital's cameras?" Schneider asked.

"The internal network cannot be accessed remotely." Someone answered. Even Norma is not omnipotent. For example, if you want to connect to a computer that is not connected to the Internet at all, even the world's top artificial intelligence cannot do it.

"What else can we do now?" the intelligence specialist asked, taking off his headphones.

"Wait." Schneider said calmly.

The elevator descends at an unusually slow speed. Every time it goes down a certain distance, the entire elevator shakes abnormally and makes a frightening squeaking sound. It is the long-disrepaired steel cables and traction system that are moaning for help, worn by time. The machinery is already on the verge of reaching its limit. It would not be surprising if the steel cable breaks and the elevator stalls and falls in the next second.

Lin Nian stood under the flickering elevator lights and closed his eyes, feeling the speed of the elevator's descent. It gradually penetrated from the surface to the ground, descending at a low speed of 0.5m/s per second. The vibrations and squeaking sounds were heard when it reached the negative floor. reached the maximum, and what is worrying is that it still happened when reaching between the negative one and negative two floors.

The elevator suddenly trembled like the earth was shaking, as if someone had grabbed the cable connected to the elevator and pulled it upwards. The heavy pressure could almost make the people in the elevator fall to the ground.

But Lin Nian did not fall to the ground. This kind of pressure was not even one-tenth as terrible as being under the 100-meter-deep water in Kuimen. At Kassel College, he took Bajiquan as an elective. Zhanzhuang was one of the compulsory courses, and he taught Bajiquan. The old professor's favorite thing to do was to use a chicken feather blanket to hit the thighs of the students who were walking on horseback. If anyone fell down, he would do an extra hour of standing exercises.

After the elevator stopped shaking, it no longer went down. Instead, it got stuck between the first floor and the second floor. The elevator light turned to emergency red light, and at the same time, a low mechanically synthesized human voice sounded in the elevator, "Welcome to the elevator." Playground, uninvited guests from afar.”

"It's actually not that far from the city center to the suburbs. It takes half an hour by subway and about fifty minutes by car." Lin Nian looked up and found the speaker and camera hidden in the corner of the elevator and scratched his brows, "So what do you want to do next? Am I trapped here, or should you just cut the cable and throw me to death?”

In response to Lin Nian's question, the person on the other end of the loudspeaker did not answer, and fell into dead silence after the gloomy threats.

At this moment, Lin Nian, who was in the red light, suddenly sniffed and smelled an unusually sweet smell. He squatted down with interest and found a gap in the dark corner of the elevator. He stretched out his finger in the gap. After pinching it, a rubber tube was pulled out. A slight hissing sound came from the tube, and a large amount of pale white gas floated out from the inside under the cover of red light.

"Anesthetic?" Lin Nian put the hose close to his nose and sniffed. If the person behind the camera saw this scene, his eyes would probably fall out of his sockets. The gas discharged from the hose is high concentration of sevoflurane. The characteristics of this controlled drug are strong anesthetic power, short induction period, even faster effect than ether, and greater toxicity.

Such a large amount of sevoflurane is basically used for large animals such as sheep and mountain pigs. If used on humans, there is a high probability that people will die due to rapid drop in blood pressure, bradycardia and respiratory depression. But Lin Nian got it together. After sniffing for a long time, he threw away the hose and stood up without any fuss.

Kassel College has tested Lin Nian's drug resistance level. The specific test method is much more violent than inhaled anesthesia. The one in the equipment department directly uses veterinary anesthetic injections, and the African poaching team anesthetized elephants. The standard drug was 100 ml of intravenous injection. If the anesthesia persisted, the dose was continued. It was not until the person in charge of the equipment department took out a glucose bottle to give Lin Nian the anesthetic that the test was stopped.

Any anesthetic on the market now has almost no effect on Lin Nian. Under the passive influence of 'Baqi', Lin Nian's metabolism has reached more than 10 times that of the ruby-throated hummingbird, which is known as a hungry bird. The metabolic rate of animals is 100 times that of elephants.

And this doesn't even count Lin Nian's active use of 'Snap' to speed up his metabolism, so as long as he is prepared, almost no poison on the market can have an effect on him, even if it is highly poisonous to dragons Mercury is no exception, and the title of being immune to all poisons has basically been confirmed. (The equipment department tester who later proposed intravenous injection of mercury has been retained for review)

Lin Nian pressed the emergency button and found that it had no effect. The speaker and camera did not respond at all. The other party was probably preparing to deal with him coldly when he was trapped here.

"Trouble." Lin Nian looked up at the maintenance port at the top of the elevator. The exposed right arm of the white T-shirt gradually squirmed under the red light, and pale white fluff crawled out. As the fluff became denser, it formed sword-shield-shaped scales. .

After the Battle of Constantine, Lin Nian's dragon transformation characteristics completely changed after he was violently violent. He once entered the fourth degree of violent blood, and then the dragon scales he formed when he entered the violent blood state were covered with a layer of gray-white like snow.

The change in the color of the dragon scales is not a huge leap in intensity. The color seems to be just a proof of the 'source', which is infinitely reminiscent of the secrets that have been buried for too many years, almost buried in the history of the dragon clan. white emperor.

The blood descendants of the White King have always been a secret that has not yet been unearthed. Lin Nian has not explained this to anyone, including Anger and Chu Zihang. For the secret party, the history of the White King that is now known is cruel. Violent, there is a saying that the White King was crushed by the Black King and thrown into the volcano because of his greedy and terrifying temperament. Once Lin Nian got involved with the White King, he would always get into a lot of trouble.

The sharp scaly claws cut open the top floor of the elevator like butter. A circle was drawn that was so perfect that a math teacher would admire it. Lin Nian jumped out of the rusty iron box and entered the elevator shaft. He only had He performed violent blood with one arm. Anyone who has been exposed to violent blood would be shocked and unbelievable by this kind of control, but this is already normal for him. With the help of the blonde girl, this technology has been completely controlled by him. Again, this is a secret that is impossible to tell anyone.

After looking up and down the elevator shaft, Lin Nian found that the stairs in the elevator shaft had been artificially cut off. There were traces of chemical corrosion on the fracture. It seemed that he was ready to cut off the escape route if someone invaded. So There is only one way to get down.

A white arc passed through the dark elevator shaft, and with a crisp snapping sound, the steel cable connecting the elevator suddenly broke and fell. It was estimated that even the safety gear would not have time to activate for such a long fall. Lin Nian stood in the stalled elevator. Holding the cable on top, the high-speed wind pressure blew from his side and lifted his white T-shirt from bottom to top.

When he felt about the same, he grabbed the steel cable with his left hand, jumped up and hit the wall of the elevator shaft. He punched the wall with his right hand. The huge acceleration of gravity drove his right arm to pull out a thread in the wall. Meter-long terrifying ravine, and at this time, the stalled elevator also stopped suddenly. Lin Nian grabbed the steel cable and lifted it up in the air with one hand, only less than half a meter away from the ground.

Lin Nian let go of his left hand and the elevator hit the ground with a bang. He pulled his right arm out of the wall and jumped into the elevator with the opening on the top. The red warning light had gone out. He looked back at the camera and speaker, and then turned around. He kicked the elevator door with his head. The steel elevator door dented in an exaggerated arc as if it had been hit by a battering ram, twisted and spun, flew out and fell into the corridor.

Lin Nian stepped forward, surrounded by the white mist of vaporized anesthetics, like an evil ghost walking out of the smoke. His golden eyes, as hot as lava, scanned the dark corridor paved with railroad tracks.

His ears twitched slightly, and he heard music deep in the corridor. The sound, which was so subtle that it was difficult for normal people to distinguish, was almost deafening to his hearing. He could even distinguish five clear heartbeats and breathing in the music. Among these heartbeats and breaths, he also quickly locked onto a most familiar sound source.

"I found you." Lin Nian said.

boom.

Suddenly he heard a gunshot.

Oh, now there are only four heartbeats and four breaths left.

ps: Miscalculation, seems to have to go to the next chapter.
