A chill instantly swept through my entire body. I looked around in horror and realized that there were only Han Juan and me in the elevator, not the dozen bodyguards the girl mentioned.
I lowered my head and looked at Han Juan, who was also looking at me with an uneasy expression in her eyes.
I pretended to smile lightly at Han Juan and said, "Today is really tiring, but it's worth it. If our employer wins the divorce lawsuit, the boss should at least give us a one million bonus. Han Juan, how do you plan to spend this money? Do you want to continue working or be a happy free agent
What are your plans? Are you still prepared to continue working for Boss Wu? "Han Juan's tone was obviously absent-minded.
On the 25th floor, the elevator stopped again. There was an old man standing outside the door. He looked inside the elevator with an unhappy expression on his face, muttered a low voice, and turned to walk towards another elevator.
The elevator continues to run downwards. At this point, neither Han Juan nor I can continue to pretend to be confused. There is something in the elevator, something we cannot see! A cold little hand grabbed my collar, and Han Juan's trembling body leaned closer. The two of us leaned against a corner of the elevator, anxiously staring at the empty elevator.
Lin Ge, let's take the stairs, "Han Juan's teeth were trembling.
Okay. "I pressed the button on the 22nd floor.
The 22nd floor arrived in just a few seconds, but before the two of us could leave the elevator, more than ten people in black clothes rushed into the elevator. These more than ten people all have tall figures, uniform clothing, and sunglasses on their noses, making them look like bodyguards or thugs. They quietly walked into the elevator, not saying a word to each other, all facing away from us, staring at the elevator entrance.
Since there were more than ten burly men present, we were no longer afraid. We didn't get off the elevator, after all, walking down the stairs of more than twenty floors is a very tiring thing. Han Juan smiled at me and quietly released her grip on my hand. The fact has proven that we were deceived by the pranks of those two girls.
These more than ten burly men may look fierce, but they are very polite. They crowded in the narrow elevator, but took the initiative to free up a considerable space for us. Even when the elevator reached the first floor, they didn't get off the elevator first, but instead gave up a passage to signal us to leave first.
I said thank you and left the elevator with Han Juan.
After walking about ten meters, Han Juan seemed to still have lingering fears and turned to take a look at the elevator. Immediately, Han Juan's face changed dramatically, she let out a sharp scream and ran frantically towards the outside of the building.
Han Juan's scream was too sharp, causing a echo in the empty hall. Everyone in the hall turned around and looked at me in confusion, their eyes full of contempt and disdain, thinking that I had done something wrong to this child.
I ignored these gazes and hurriedly chased after them.
Han Juan used to be a physical education teacher, skilled in long-distance running and practicing kung fu. In terms of combat skills alone, she is not inferior to me. So I chased after Han Juan for more than 300 meters before catching up, and then tried to comfort her in every way possible to calm down the frightened Han Juan. Han Juan's face turned pale, and her eyes were filled with fear. She held onto my right hand tightly like a lost lamb, refusing to let go of anything she said.
Han Juan, what's wrong? What did you see? "Han Juan's reaction was too intense, and I had to figure out the whole story.
That elevator... that elevator. "Han Juan spoke incoherently due to the transition of fear. More than ten people went in
What's so strange about that? The elevator is just for people to enter and exit. I saw those people too, don't worry, they are real people. The two girls upstairs were playing a prank, you really took it seriously. "I chuckled softly, trying to comfort Han Juan. Haha, I didn't expect you to be scared like this, the proud Detective Han, who claims to be fearless
It's not like that! "Han Juan let out another scream, attracting the attention of pedestrians on the road. You didn't understand what I meant, those bodyguards in the elevator didn't come out
They're going to the basement level, what's so surprising about this? "I looked at the elevator button at the time, and the elevator went all the way to the fourth basement level.
How many people is the approved capacity for that elevator
I didn't notice, but based on the size of the space, it probably won't exceed sixteen people
Haven't you understood what I mean yet? "Han Juan was so anxious that tears were about to come down her face." I counted the people inside, and there were a total of twelve of them. They didn't come out, and later at least fifteen people went in. How could that elevator fit in
There was a loud buzzing sound in my head, my body shook twice, and I almost fell to the ground.
I have noticed the people at the entrance, at least twenty people. When the elevator door closed again, there were still six or seven people outside who had not entered. This also indicates that the elevator is already full of new occupants. An elevator carrying sixteen people cannot accommodate twenty-eight people no matter what. Even if 28 people are forcefully packed in like cargo, the elevator's protection system will sound an alarm and refuse to carry so many passengers.
The elevator not only did not sound an alarm, but also operated normally. The only explanation is that there is no one in this elevator at all.
But when we got off the elevator with a dozen burly men, they didn't come out with us. So, where have these people gone? Who are these people, and why can the later passengers easily enter the elevator as if they don't exist at all?
Ghosts! When I had to face this terrible term, I was scared out of my wits.
I am a complete atheist. When I was in high school, I used to sleep alone at night in a cemetery to prove that ghosts do not exist in this world. But today, after a series of unbelievable events, I have to believe that ghosts do exist in this world. Because what I have recently experienced is not something that cannot be explained scientifically and can be justified, nor can it be deceived through illusions.
I've encountered a ghost, and it's not just one, it's a dozen or so! Although ghosts have not yet done anything to harm me, they truly exist. Why do ghosts cling to us, and what are their intentions?
I saw all of this, and Han Juan also saw it.
On the crowded streets of Shanghai, Han Juan and I looked at each other, our teeth chattering.
