The elite man took the lead, followed closely by Xie Xingyin and others into the apartment.

Information shows that this place has long since become an empty building. The apartment that has been abandoned for a long time is so empty and quiet.

But apart from being too quiet and a little dark, there was nothing unusual in the corridor. The wall tiles were neat and there were no debris on the floor.

The corridor on the first floor is long and narrow, with identical cubicles on the left and right sides. Xie Xingyin remembered the student dormitory where he lived when he was an undergraduate, and there were countless rooms on this floor.

A rough estimate is that there are fifty rooms on the first floor of Wangchuan Apartment, and seven hundred on the fourteenth floor. Looking for something in such a large area is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. Not to mention that what they are looking for is not a still life, but a needle in a haystack.

It is a monster human-faced dog that can run, move, and hurt people.

Xie Xingyin secretly thought about it in his heart, it's hard to find it.

Brother Biao and his two younger brothers were the last to enter, and they were walking deeper into the corridor with the others. Suddenly, he slapped his head in hindsight and stopped.

"Hey wait, that's not right! Did the old man give you a key?"

The person walking in front turned back and watched him take out the key that the old detective had just given.

The key is a very common copper key, with the house number and number on it on a sticky note, but there is nothing special about it. The key in Brother Biao's hand is a bunch of six.

There were thirteen people present, and the old man only gave them six keys. Each room could only accommodate two people at most.

Can't live in it.

Everyone realized this problem, their faces suddenly turned ugly, and they all moved closer to their familiar companions, their eyes showing vigilance.

Everyone knows what this means. Someone is going to be left out the door tonight.

"Yes...Is it a mistake..." Only Brother Biao, who had a weak head, was still insisting. He shook his hands and counted the keys again, but it was still wrong. He cursed in a low voice, turned around and walked towards the door.

.

"I'm going to chase that old man back and ask him!"

But before Brother Biao could reach the door, a muffled sound suddenly came from the distance without any warning.

"Bang--"

The sound of something heavy hitting the ground.

The sound came from the direction of the apartment door. Xie Xingyin's pupils shrank, thinking something bad, and chased after him.

Taking a closer look, Brother Biao was standing in front of the door at a loss, looking panicked. The heavy anti-theft iron door on the inside had been slammed shut, like a prison cage, trapping all of them inside.

Seeing that everyone else was staring at him subconsciously, Brother Biao raised his hands above his head in a panic to show his innocence: "I didn't close the door! Who did this, who closed the door!"

Others who were close could also see clearly that the iron gate had clearly fallen down on their own, and their expressions became ugly.

This old man had a bad temper. When he found that the door could not be opened, he immediately became anxious. He thought someone was playing a trick on him, so he spat involuntarily and kicked the door with his legs.

But he just kicked twice and suddenly stopped.

"...That's not right! We were all here just now, so who closed the door?"

"Brother, this door can't be opened!" The stuttering boy who stepped forward to check the situation turned pale.

Others also panicked and looked over.

"This iron door... the switch seems to be on the outside, right?" The elite man observed for a moment and shook his head to express his helplessness.

They could see clearly just now that the old man was opening the iron door outside.

"Holy shit, that damn old man wants to harm us?!" Brother Biao yelled.

"There can't be...there's a ghost in here!" Cockscomb Head shouted in panic.

"Damn it, why are you stuttering? Don't f**king scare yourself, it must be that damn old man who is deliberately trying to mess with us!"

But the faces of others did not look good because of his words.

If the old man locked the door really to harm them, I'm afraid there is a greater threat waiting for them in this building.

It was getting dark, and only a pale and dim voice-activated light was on in the long and narrow corridor.

The whole apartment building was completely silent. Not to mention the mice, not even the insects flying around the lampshade were seen. Except for this unlucky group of people, there was no other living thing in the whole building.

It was impossible not to panic. Brother Biao and his two younger brothers pried and smashed the door, and kicked it several times. However, the iron door seemed to be indestructible, and the smashing was "clang".

It made a noise but not even a scratch on the door.

"I advise you to save your energy. If you go out without completing the task, you will be dead." The elite man watched them smashing the door and did not go up to help, as if it was a common occurrence.

"Let's go and see the room the old man assigned us. It looks like we'll have to spend the next seven days in this apartment building."

After hearing his words, the others immediately regarded this veteran as their spiritual support and moved closer to him.

"Bah," Brother Biao lifted up his trousers, "Aren't we just looking for a dog? I love dog meat the most. I won't stew it until I find it."

It was already getting late, so after discussion, everyone decided to go upstairs to check out the residence arranged for them by the old detective.

The elevator is located at the end of the long corridor on the left. Xie Xingyin noticed that there was only one elevator on the entire floor, and there was an emergency stairway next to it.

The keys the old man gave them were all for the eleventh floor.

After pressing the elevator button, the elevator door opened with a sound.

The interior of the elevator car is clean and bright, and people's shadows can be vaguely reflected under the bright ceiling light.

"Should we take the stairs or the elevator?" Xie Xingyin looked at the elevator and hesitated.

Brother Biao next to him glanced at the dark staircase and trembled.

"There's not even a light over there, let's take the elevator, let's take the elevator!" Without saying a word, he stepped into the bright and clean elevator.

But before he could walk in, Lao Liang, who was standing behind him, suddenly turned pale, yelled and grabbed him hard, dragging him back forcefully.

"Don't even go in!"

After hearing what he said, Xie Xingyin also took half a step back, raised his eyes and re-examined the elevator car in front of him.

Behind him, Brother Biao, who had just stretched out half of his legs, also flinched. His appearance was so funny that someone behind him couldn't help but laugh, which made him very embarrassed.

But Xie Xingyin watched the blurry shadow on the elevator wall warily and waited quietly for a moment, but nothing happened.

"Don't pretend to be crazy and scare people, I'm telling you!" Brother Biao felt that he had lost face, so he pointed at Lao Liang and cursed, "I just wanted to say it before I even entered the door. If you keep acting weird, believe it or not, I will slap you.

"

But Lao Liang was too lazy to pay attention to him. He pushed up the disc sunglasses on the bridge of his nose and looked at something intently.

"People have died in the elevator." He raised his head and said to Xie Xingyin.

Xie Xingyin looked into the elevator and saw his blurry shadow reflected on the inner metal wall. The cold chill poured out of the elevator shaft along the cracks in the ground and penetrated into his trouser legs along the soles of his feet.

"Can we take the elevator? It won't fall and kill us all, right?" Li Wei asked cautiously.

After all, the enclosed elevator is one of the most famous haunted spots in horror movies, and it's scary just to look at it.

"If you take the stairs, you might encounter a ghost and hit the wall and trap us all to death," the elite man shrugged, "No one knows which side is safe now, and choosing which side is a gamble."

"Then how about dividing the army into two groups? At least the group will not be destroyed." Lao Liang suggested.

As if he wanted to regain the face he had just lost, Brother Biao lifted Lao Liang up and said, "I say, you stinky blind man, stop pretending to be scary and frightening people! If you want to take the stairs, you can take the elevator. I have to take the elevator."

He stepped into the elevator first, still muttering:

"What is there in the elevator and where is it? Why can't I see it? I scare myself when I startle. Is there something wrong with me?"

He pressed the button for the 11th floor: "If you want to take the elevator, come up quickly. If you want to take the stairs, just take the stairs." As he said that, he gave Lao Liang a hard look.

Hearing what he said, the rest of the people looked at each other and followed in. Xie Xingyin wanted to go to the stairwell to check the situation, but was confused by the young boy and grabbed him and squeezed into the elevator first.

There were a lot of people in their group. Fortunately, the girls and the young boy were lighter. When everyone entered the elevator, the overload alarm did not sound.

The cockscomb-headed guy was as timid as ever, standing at the back. When everyone got into the elevator, nothing happened.

"Are you leaving?" Brother Biao pressed the door button and asked impatiently.

The cockscomb-headed boy had almost no hesitation. His survival instinct and intuition told him that it was very dangerous to be alone in this environment. He didn't know what would happen if he walked up the stairs alone.

He looked at the elevator car full of people, and the last one walked in.

"Let's go."

Seeing the elevator door slowly closing, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Wei moved closer to Xie Xingyin and discussed with him in a low voice: "...Brother Xie, can I share a room with you tonight?"

Xie Xingyin: "Ah??"

"I, I'm really scared. We really can't care about our current situation." Li Wei begged, "Please, brother, let me sleep on the floor. I promise I won't snore."

Excuse you."

But it is not good to have a man and a woman living together in the same room.

"This is also my first time entering the tower. If you find someone else to take you, they are more reliable than me." Xie Xingyin refused.

Li Wei hesitated and wanted to say something unwillingly, but was interrupted by the sudden cry of Brother Biao beside him.

"What's going on! Why doesn't this broken elevator move?"

After saying a few words, I almost didn't notice that the elevator hadn't started yet.

Xie Xingyin didn't say anything, but he vaguely felt something was wrong, so he moved towards the floor button in the crowded elevator.

Brother Biao pressed the door-open button many times, but there was no response from the elevator. He was so anxious that he started banging on the door with his fists. It was all in vain.

"Brother, did you press the floor button?" The stuttering boy had been squeezed into a corner, pressed against the inner wall of the elevator and unable to move.

"I pressed it!" Brother Biao shouted.

Lao Liang, who was leaning by the door, didn't know what he saw, so he shouted "No!" and hurriedly went to press the door button.

But no matter how hard I pressed, the button was almost broken and the elevator door didn't move at all. The cold elevator door shone with a stiff metallic sheen.
