...

The night is thick, and a silver-white crescent moon in the sky sprinkles cold light, but the color is covered by the neon lights of the night.

While Su Bai was taking the City God exam, in Delong Building in another corner of the city.

A few strange guests came to the security room on the second floor today.

The security guard Lao Cui, who is in his early forties, is on duty this year.

He yawned and sat on a plastic stool in the corner, leaning his fingers boredly, glanced at the young uniformed man with wireless earphones in his ears in front of the surveillance monitor.

The man stared at the screen without blinking, probably looking for something suspicious.

He is quite familiar with this building. He has to go around every corner several times every day. If you have any questions, please ask him directly.

But now he was ignored and could only sit in the corner and drink tea, which was a little bored.

There were several other people in the room taking turns to rest, always on guard, making it look like a special forces carrying out missions. As soon as it came, it occupied most of his space, forcing him to sit here to rest.

I heard that these people were invited by the boss for a large price to specifically solve the supernatural incidents that occurred in the building this time.

From the beginning, these people have been dismantling hard disks to adjust monitoring, verifying data, and setting up some infrared and ultraviolet rays at the entrances and exits stairs that he can't understand, making them mysterious and making them very useless. They seem to be local buns from the countryside, and they are really dissatisfied.

He told me that these mysterious events were probably caused by some small company that had no money to pay the rent.

It’s just to cheat people and lower the rent so that you can have a little chance of respite.

"Bah, they are all idiots. Even if you believe such words, why don't you be so naughty?"

He has seen many such tricks.

Those who owe money and don’t pay it back, those who collect debts, those who check the mistress...

All kinds of lies come out at once, without blinking your eyes.

Nowadays, some people have made all kinds of means for some benefit.

Besides, he didn't believe it anymore. He claimed that he knew some skills in fist and foot, and ordinary young people were no match for him.

If any ghost dares to come to scare him, he will knock on his forehead with a stick to see if it is a ghost's head or his stick is strong! Teach it the principle of being a ghost.

Subconsciously touched the stick around his waist, but it was empty.

I saw the stick in a white cardboard box on the ground next to the door, and then I vaguely remembered that it seemed to be put away by these people.

There were also some other debris inside, such as water cups and glasses.

But since someone helps him with work now, he is naturally happy to be idle, and it is not very comfortable to rest here with his legs raised.

"Dingling!"

The alarm clock on the table rang.

This is the time to go on a regular patrol.

He subconsciously wanted to get up again, but when he saw those people pressing the alarm clock directly, he remembered that he didn't have to do it himself now, so he adjusted his comfortable position to sit down.

At this moment, the door of the security room was pushed open from the outside.

Several people in the room looked towards the door at the same time. Those who came in were beautiful women wearing uniforms, tall ponytails, and dressed neatly.

"Are there any clues?"

She glanced at the people in the room and nodded slightly: "I found the missing security guard's portable recorder in the corner outside. Although it was damaged, there should be still stored videos inside."

As she said that, she reached out to put a portable recorder on the table.

Old Cui in the corner subconsciously looked at him and couldn't help but take a breath.

"Good...Is this smashed?"

I saw that the recorder, about the size of a thumb, was almost broken, and the chips inside were exposed, as if they were run over by something.

The security guards in the building all had a recorder on their own, so he naturally knew that the thing was quite strong and had no dents after falling several times.

It's hard to imagine how this tragic situation was caused!

The young man sitting at the table seemed not surprised. He took it directly and removed the chip inside completely. After fiddling left and right, he successfully connected to the computer.

There are indeed several separate video recordings stored in the chip.

Without hesitation, just click on it.

The old Cui behind him also opened his eyes wide and stared at the screen with curiosity, wanting to see what happened to the missing colleague.

The picture became clear soon after it blurred slightly. The camera seemed to be hanging on the chest. Only a man's somewhat rough beard was seen, followed by a middle-aged man's voice, who was a little lazy and as if he had just woken up, came out of the speaker.

"Hey? Is there any sound? Well, start recording. Today is May 6, 579, and it is 11:30 pm."

As he said that, the camera trembled and moved, aiming at the clock on the wall, confirming his words.

It can also be seen from the environment here that it is in the security room.

The clock on the wall is exactly the same except for time.

Probably not long ago

"Next, I will start my second patrol tonight, keep the video recorded throughout the whole process for inspection by the superiors..."

Lao Cui felt a little familiar when he heard the sound in the picture. It seemed that he often sounded around him. He must be the person he knew, but he just couldn't remember which colleague he was.

At this time the picture continued to move, so he continued to stare, perhaps there would be some clues next.

After leaving the house, the man walked very lazy, and the picture trembled a little too much. Maybe he had just drunk alcohol and his pace was not stable.

However, he still understands the basic rules and checks every floor at the right time.

Including doors and windows, electric lights, air conditioners, etc., you will also check it to avoid short circuits and fires in the wires.

The Delong Building has a total of 16 floors, and it takes about an hour to patrol it up and down.

If there are some companies that are still working in the period, the time will be longer.

This video was also very boring, but no one in the room wanted to fast forward, and they watched it carefully bit by bit.

Lao Cui behind him was a little yawning. After all, when it was his turn to do the night patrol work, he would do it every day, and he could walk down with his eyes closed.

However, the real change appeared in the penultimate video recording.

That was when the man in the video had finished checking the building and was about to take the elevator to return to the security room.

"Strange... Why is this elevator not working..."

In the video, the man reached out and pressed the elevator button repeatedly, but no matter how he pressed it, the elevator was always parked on the first floor, as if someone deliberately stuck and refused to get on.

"Damn it, I have to find someone to repair it tomorrow... I told them not to cut corners..."

The man cursed and had no choice but to turn around and walk down the stairs beside him.

At this moment, the screen suddenly paused.

Someone in the room whispered: "Go back the progress bar... There may be something wrong with this staircase!"

"Um."

The young man nodded and pulled the video forward a little, just showing the appearance of the stairs in the perspective.

I saw that it was pitch black from the third stairs, and I couldn't see clearly what was underneath. The light above my head seemed to be partitioned outside, and it was useless...

"It was still fine when I came up, but it turned out like this when I went down. The problem might be on this staircase!"

Immediately, someone judged this way.

This idea was recognized by most people in the house.

Unfortunately, the man in the video may not realize this because he was drinking.

After the play continued, the man complained and continued to walk under the stairs.

As the stairs go down, the picture becomes completely dark and nothing can be seen.

In the darkness, only the sound of the man muttering himself and the sound of his empty feet stepping on the stairs.

Every step is very solid, and there is no situation where you step into a short step because you are invisible.

"Wait, this man seems to be unaffected. Does it mean that only the electronic equipment has been affected?" Someone has raised a speculation.

"It is possible. According to experiments, when the ghost's yin energy is rich to a certain extent, the electronic equipment will be disturbed, and even some kind of change that cannot be produced by itself." The other person nodded.

Lao Cui behind him was speechless, why did these people become more and more mysterious? All monsters and monsters appeared. He felt that this was probably just a problem with the camera of the recorder.

He had encountered this old problem before, and it was useless to repair it. Anyway, it would be automatically cured if it was left alone the next morning.

At this time, the man was still walking in the video.

The sound of the stairs down the stairs was so strange that there was no pause. It seemed that the man was walking down, far exceeding the length of the normal stairs, which made them even wonder if it was stuck.

There was still a strange darkness in the picture, without any light.

But suddenly, a second sound other than footsteps came from the video, which shocked them.

It's the woman's crying!

The crying was very miserable and desperate, floating from a distance, as if it was the mourning after someone died in his family. It was sharp and weird, and it seemed like a mourning wailing sound, which made people feel a little creepy.
