Chapter 235 The Old Man Outside the Elevator
Entering the elevator, Chen Ge pressed the number 23 on the control panel. The first place he went was the 23rd floor.
The silver-gray elevator door slowly closed, as if it was isolated from the outside world.
Chen Ge's breathing became short of breath. He didn't like taking elevators very much. It wasn't because he had a phobia of airtightness. He just didn't want to be confined to a cramped environment.
The numbers on the display are constantly changing without the slightest pause in between.
"It seems that the situation in the building is the same as what Wang Xin's adoptive mother said. The residents here rarely take the elevator at night."
Rising at a constant speed, the number on the display changes to "23".
The alarm sounded, and the silver-gray elevator doors opened to both sides.
The light came out from the elevator, and it was engulfed by darkness when it reflected four or five meters away. The corridor was dark, and there were closed security doors on both sides.
"Have you reached the top floor?"
The 23rd floor does not look any different from other floors, except that the windows at the end of the corridor seem to be not closed, and the whistling wind can be heard.
"It feels a bit strange to take the elevator alone at night."
When the elevator door closed, Chen Ge pressed the number "2" on the control panel again.
The elevator began to descend and came to the second floor smoothly.
"Why did the Strange Talk Association design these? Can you really find the extra 24 floors by taking the elevator back and forth?"
When the elevator door closed, Chen Ge went to the 22nd floor again.
When the elevator starts and stops, the speed will change, and there will be short-term weightlessness or overweight. This is also the reason why some people will experience dizziness and nausea when taking the elevator.
Chen Ge's physical fitness is very good, but after sitting up and down the elevator for nearly five minutes, he also felt a little uncomfortable. His heart was beating very fast, and he couldn't calm down.
After repeating it several times, Chen Ge felt annoyed, and he couldn't explain the reason himself.
The elevator returned from the eighteenth floor to the seventh floor, and then he pressed the button for the seventeenth floor.
The whole process has been without incident.
The method of recording in the Whistleblower Association's flyer looks more like a mind game.
The elevator rose at a constant speed, the numbers on the display kept changing, and soon the elevator slowed down again, and the silver-gray elevator doors slowly opened to both sides.
Chen Ge looked up and glanced outside the door. There was nothing in the corridor, and all the residents in the building seemed to be asleep, very quiet.
"I'm very lucky, I haven't met anyone, and I can try to go to the 24th floor after repeating it a few times." Chen Ge was used to this process. The faint red numbers made his arms freeze in the air.
"16?"
He clearly pressed the button leading to the seventeenth floor. The button on the elevator control panel representing the seventeenth floor was still on, but the elevator opened on the sixteenth floor inexplicably.
"Someone got on the elevator on this floor!"
Bending down, his right hand drooped, and he touched the pig-killing knife at his calf. Chen Ge stared at the empty elevator, keeping a high degree of vigilance.
The corridor outside was pitch-dark, and the scene ten meters away could not be seen clearly. The surroundings were dead silent, and no sound could be heard.
"Could it be a child's prank?"
This thought crossed his mind and was quickly ruled out by Chen Ge.
After a few seconds, the silver-gray elevator door slowly closed. Chen Ge looked at the empty elevator and dared not relax any longer. It was very likely that there was another thing standing beside him that he could not see.
Reaching his left hand into his pocket, Chen Ge took out his phone and glanced at the time. It was 0:01 and it was already Wednesday.
The elevator continued upwards and stopped at the seventeenth floor.
Chen Ge leaned against the elevator wall and pressed the button on the eighth floor, but it didn't take long for the accident to happen again.
The elevator descending at a constant speed stopped on the eleventh floor. After the elevator door opened, Chen Ge found a white dress hanging in the middle of the corridor.
"Is something coming up again?" There was no wind in the corridor, but the skirt swayed back and forth, as if it was drifting towards the elevator.
Taking one step forward, Chen Ge hurriedly pressed the elevator close button.
The clothes outside floated faster and faster, like a person running in the corridor.
"Close the door!"
When the white skirt was still two or three meters away, the elevator door closed and continued down.
Chen Ge was leaning in the corner, his palms were full of cold sweat. From a certain moment, the building became different.
The elevator reached the eighth floor safely, and Chen Ge stayed on this floor for a while.
According to the introduction on the flyer, he should go to the sixteenth floor now, but the elevator going to the sixteenth floor must pass the floor of the white skirt.
He was worried that the elevator would open on its own on the eleventh floor, and the white skirt was standing outside waiting for him.
His fingers stopped on the control panel for a long time, and he finally pressed it down: "If it's a red skirt, it's fine. There's no need to be afraid of a white skirt."
Reaching out and hiding the ballpoint pen in his sleeve, Chen Ge kept comforting himself: "I am accompanied by Pen Xian and Xu Yin. If it dares to come in, don't blame me for bullying more."
The elevator continued to go up, and when it was approaching the eleventh floor, Chen Ge's heart lifted.
But to his surprise, the elevator did not stop on the eleventh floor this time, and the numbers slowly changed. Before Chen Ge could breathe a sigh of relief, the elevator stopped on the thirteenth floor.
"Anyone coming in?"
The silver-gray elevator door slowly opened, and outside stood an old woman dressed in black and wrapped in a thick scarf.
She looks very old, her face is wrinkled like a bean skin, her head is full of silver hair, and her hands and feet are all covered in clothes.
The other party didn't seem to expect that there would be someone in the elevator, and stood outside for a while.
"Strange..." Her voice was very low, and she did not enter the elevator until the elevator door began to close.
"In the middle of the night, why are so many people taking the elevator? I can't squeeze any more."
After Chen Ge heard the old grandmother's words, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He originally planned to bully the less with more, but now it seems that the situation has changed.
"No wonder the pen fairy is so honest, there is no reaction at all, and this guy doesn't give me any hints."
Glancing left and right, he was obviously the only one in the elevator, but recalling the old grandma's words, Chen Ge's heart beat even more fiercely.
"There must be something wrong. Even in the third ward, I have never been so nervous." Chen Ge forced himself to remain calm, but his brain seemed to be stimulated by something invisible, and he kept releasing it. Watch out for danger signs.
"There's something wrong with this old lady. She wears black clothes and a scarf to go out at night. Is she that cold?"
After meeting the old grandma, there was no problem with the elevator anymore. It seemed that it was really like what she said. The elevator is now full of people, and people outside can't get in if they want to.
