Chapter 115 Ghosts in the Office Building

11 o'clock at night.

In the commercial street of Lafite Road, in front of a high-end office building.

This building is like a sky tower where an emperor who does not care about worldly things lives. The top of the building is more than 40 floors and directly pierces the dark sky, leaving the hustle and bustle of the street and the light pollution emitted by the colorful advertising signs on the ground.

The lights are still on in the rows of windows near the top of the building. Chen Ke took out the photo of the target and looked at the address left on the back.

If Lester's information is correct, this mean-looking man should be there.

Chen Ke stuffed the photo into the inner pocket of his suit and put on black leather gloves. He didn't want to leave his fingerprints in the building.

Without the building blueprint, he didn't know the specific structure of the building, and in order not to arouse suspicion from the people in the building, Chen Ke did not enter in advance to explore. Tonight is his first time to step into here.

However, as a modern office space, this building must register people entering and leaving. Without an employee badge, you cannot enter at will.

It was already night. Paul, a security guard in his 50s, was lazily sitting at the front desk. His patrol flashlight and stick were placed on the table. He was concentrating on fiddling with his portable TV. Tonight, there was a football game between the Opportunity City Good Guys and the Happy City Victory Team.

In order to watch the game, Paul persuaded his night shift colleague Jack to help patrol the field at the cost of a pack of cigarettes. Being a security guard in a building was a very boring thing, especially in such a high-rise office building. Except for the programmers who worked overtime until late at night, you could hardly see anyone.

If there was no small TV, Paul was afraid that he would be scared by his own imagination.

Outside the double-open glass door was a busy commercial street. No thief would want to steal things in this building. Every elevator in the building was equipped with a camera.

The stairwell was dark. At night, the sensor light would automatically turn off. No one would be willing to stay in that place for a second.

Paul finally made his small TV show a clear image. The Opportunity City Good Guys had already kicked off. The 4-pointer Macy was running fast with a football, cleverly dodging his opponents.

Paul felt a gust of wind blowing across his cheek. He adjusted his hat and looked up at the door. He felt that the door had just moved...

Paul looked around. There was no one in the hall. The elevator waiting area was quiet. The gap between the wooden doors in the stairwell seemed to be a little wider than he remembered...

Paul picked up the flashlight and stood up, but an inexplicable sense of fear came over him. He hesitated for a moment, and finally put down the flashlight and sat back in his seat.

"It's just the wind, just the wind..." Paul muttered to himself while continuing to watch the game. On TV, Macy jumped up with the ball and crossed the opponent's goal line.

The elevator indicator showed 27, and Jack walked out of the elevator and came to the dark office corridor.

During the day, the lights here are bright, and the large office space can accommodate more than 500 office workers. At night, it is as quiet as a tomb.

Jack once heard a horror story about an office building. It is said that some office workers who died from overwork will become ghosts and wander in the office building late at night. They will try to make all those who work overtime late at night their companions...

But Jack is not sure whether these ghosts' friends include those who work night shifts.

In the corridor, only the floor lamps close to the floor emit a faint light, which is enough to illuminate the night watchers, but not enough to dispel the fear in the hearts of people in the dark.

I don't know if it's dizziness or illusion, Jack always feels that there is more than one person in this corridor in front of him.

In the shadow of the corridor, it seems that a man in a black suit is walking slowly. He swept the flashlight forward and saw a man's back emerging where the light source passed, but as long as the light source moved away, the man disappeared...

"Oh shit..." Jack's heartbeat accelerated, and his legs trembled a little. He couldn't help but press the elevator button lightly. There was nothing in the empty corridor in front of him.

Chen Ke squatted on the ground and crawled on his hands and feet. Just now, he was illuminated by the flashlight of the security guard, and the dark concealment degree dropped from 80% to 0 instantly, which scared him to lie down quickly.

Fortunately, the security guard seemed to see nothing, and pressed the elevator and hurried downstairs. He was really lucky! Chen Ke wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He almost fell down just now.

The dark concealment effect of this suit does not bring invisibility, but "passive ignoring".

It's like you have a lot of items piled on your desk. You can definitely see everything, but in a blink of an eye, you only remember the one you use most. Others that are not used frequently will be ignored by you.

In a dark environment, Chen Ke will become the one who is ignored. This is a kind of perceptual deception.

The 27th floor is not the top floor of the building, but the employee elevator ends here. If you want to continue to go upstairs, you must take a special elevator or continue to climb the stairs.

Chen Ke didn't want to be photographed by the camera in the elevator room, so he chose to continue climbing the stairs.

While going up, Chen Ke also curiously sneaked a glance at the aisle through the crack of the stairwell door.

There were still people working overtime on these floors. Through the frosted glass wall, he could vaguely see a few figures sitting in the office, with the sound of keyboards clacking.

He leaned against the dark edge of the corridor and looked into the office. The people working there had sallow faces and looked tired. There were people of all skin colors. They all wore plaid shirts and thick glasses. They were either bald or had hairlines close to the top of their heads.

Chen Ke shook his head. He didn't find the target, but he knew that the boss couldn't possibly type the code himself...

Finally, he reached the top floor. There was only a simple corridor on this floor. Next to the secretary's workbench was a luxurious wooden double door.

This reminded him of many scenes in European and American movies. The boss only needed to press a button in his magnificent office, and the secretary's phone would ring. In addition to routine office matters, he could also do some things that made people fantasize.

At this moment, a man's voice came from inside the door. His tone was hysterical, as if he was complaining and begging someone for something.

Chen Ke put his ear to the door, but the door was too thick. Even in such a quiet environment, he could hardly hear clearly.

He simply held the door handle carefully, tightened his whole body strength and twisted quietly to open the door a little.

"I have done everything I could, and you got what you wanted! Why don't you give her back to me?! Why! I don't want to pay for you anymore, you monster! You are too greedy! You are like a vampire! Why don't you just kill me?! You could have done it easily... but you refused to face me again... You took her away, you took her away forever..."

The man's voice came out from the crack in the door. It sounded like he had made a deal with a woman, and the stakes were high.

Chen Ke looked inside the room through the crack in the door. It was a large, luxurious office with indoor golf. Outside the floor-to-ceiling window was a helicopter landing pad. A man in a white shirt was sitting at his desk with a bottle of wine in his hand.
