Chapter 24 The night spreads

?After about a while, Takada Keita frowned slightly, then reached out and pressed the button.

However, the elevator showed that the floor was still parked on the first floor, and there was no sign of running. He could not determine whether it was a display error or the elevator itself had a problem.

After hesitating for a while, Takada Keita didn't wait here stupidly. He turned around and walked towards the stairs.

He was going to take a look at the next floor. If the monitor or elevator button on this floor is broken, then there should be no problem with the next floor.

If the elevator itself fails, then going to the next floor can also confirm this problem as soon as possible.

The man walked down the stairs very quickly, and then stood in the corridor on the next floor, but suddenly hesitated a little.

“…”

“…”

Because except for the stair lights on, the entire floor has been turned off. From the corridors on both sides, they are all pitch black and can't see their fingers.

——His eyes fell into darkness wherever he could see. The pressure brought by the lightless darkness was extremely heavy, and it made people feel endless fear.

To be honest, simply the disappearance of the light will not make people feel that there is anything too big of a problem. But for some reason, Takada Keita suddenly felt a palpitation for no reason.

"Strange, I haven't noticed it before. Will it be so dark after turning off the light?"

He subconsciously muttered to himself, as if he was cheering himself up, trying to convince himself that this was just a simple darkness.

But just as he said, I have never discovered it before. After all, I have never encountered such a thing before, so he naturally would not know whether this situation is normal or not.

Maybe the floor after turning off the lights is so dark, what's so strange about it?

Are you still so timid in your thirties? It makes people laugh when you scare yourself to tell me something like this. Besides, there are people working on the upper floor of my house, so what are you afraid of?

Takada Kei tried too hard to convince himself, then took out his cell phone and used it as a flashlight, and began to walk towards the corridor on the other side of the elevator.

Dada dada...

Soon, a few drops of cold sweat began to appear on his forehead.

I didn't think it was too much before, but now the sound of my leather shoes seems to be a little too crisp, especially when it echoed in the dark corridor.

He held his breath and tried his best to prevent himself from thinking about the things that were there or not. He just subconsciously took his pace and continued to walk forward slowly. At the end of the distance, the elevator indicator light was vaguely glowing.

But Takada Kei walked too slowly, so he felt that this section of the road seemed to be much longer than the same distance above.

He slowly walked into the darkness and felt as if he was wrapped in black mist that was thick enough to be thick. However, after subconsciously reaching out and waving it, he found that this was just his illusion.

Or is it because the lighting of the mobile phone is still too weak, it is not as good as a real flashlight, so it is too divergent to penetrate into the darkness, so it gives me the illusion that it is like this?

Uncontrollable, I couldn't help but explain this to myself, and the man finally came to the elevator in the dark step by step.

It was only a little over a minute, but it was because he walked too slowly, but he still felt that the road was ridiculous and did not find that it was his own problem.

Standing in front of the elevator door and glanced at the indicator light that was still on, the man breathed a sigh of relief, and then he quickly reached out to press the button.

Then, nothing happened, and the elevator showed that the floor was still parked on the 1st floor, with no signs of running.

In fact, there was no problem and the elevator was not malfunctioning, but it could only be parked on the first floor with lights. Because most of the floors up the second floor had already left the company's employees after get off work, they were all in the dark.

The darkness spreads, and although it will not actively drive out light, the place that belongs to the darkness itself is the main area they occupy.

Small objects like mobile phones will not be affected, just like a lion will not take the initiative to spend time and energy to catch mice, but larger power equipment or other power systems will definitely be affected.

Although it was not directly paralyzed and completely lost its response,... the failure was certain, just like the elevator today.

It did not stop completely, but was still on standby, in the lobby on the first floor, but it had no meaning... because above the second floor was the dark realm, and it was blocked.

Just like in the city outside, many cars parked in dark streets and alleys and areas without street lights can't be started.

But since it will stop in that kind of place, the owner should not plan to start moving in a short period of time.

Moreover, compared with vehicles driving on all sections of road, these are just decimal phenomena, so no one has discovered it for a while.

Of course, this is something that Takada Kei is too unlikely to know now. He just felt that the sweat beads on his forehead became a little dense.

He pressed the button several times and found that there was no movement. After taking several deep breaths, he slowly turned his head and began to speed up his pace and go back along the same path.

Dada dada...

The crisp sound of leather shoes echoed in the empty dark corridor, but it stopped abruptly in an instant. Kyota Takada subconsciously accelerated his pace, but when he found that his footsteps were too loud, he suddenly stopped subconsciously.

And at this time, he felt inexplicably suffocating, and his chest felt blocked, and he almost couldn't breathe.

He raised his heart to his throat, his whole body was as nervous as if he was pulling a bow string. He didn't even know why he was for, but he just felt a vague and indescribable fear.

Is my footsteps too loud?

Will it alarm the darkness in the corridor?

But in a blink of an eye, his thinking immediately returned to reality. While secretly scolding himself for being stupid, he started walking again, but this time he was cautiously slowing down again.

It's just a little unlucky, there's no problem...

And this is just a need to take the stairs, it is to go downstairs and not to go upstairs, and the situation is not that bad...

Kyota Takada kept comforting herself in her heart, but she couldn't stop her random thoughts, and became more and more fearful and uneasy.

He always felt that something was wrong tonight, but he was unwilling to admit it and only believed that these were his own illusions.

But that feeling is always lingering. There seems to be something evil in the darkness around you, dormant, staring at your back with a creepy gaze-

Takada Keita was determined to believe that this was just his unreasonable delusion and his stupid behavior to scare him, but it is undeniable that... he had never had such a strange feeling before today.

Any time he scared himself before, he was not as good as he is now.

So real.

So clear.

There is really something behind me, staring at me with a resentful and cold gaze, as if I can't help but pounce on me at any time...

As for why it is behind it?

Maybe it was because those things were playing hide-and-seek with him? Anyway, he always felt that being stared at him always made his spine cold and the back of his head numb.

It just won't appear directly in front of you or in your sight.

Illusions! They are all illusions! If there were really those things, they would have pounced on them long ago. What are they waiting for? Could it be that they would still be afraid of being like themselves?

"Ding Ding Ding--!!" The sudden ringtone of the cell phone!

"ah--!!"

Then there were some sharp tenors, echoing in the entire long corridor. The man was trying hard to convince himself, cheer himself up, and give himself courage.

He held the cell phone used for lighting in his hand but suddenly called, and he almost scared him! His hand shook violently, and the cell phone almost flew out.

"Hello!"

After a little shock, Takada Keita answered the phone, and her tone couldn't help but feel a hint of gritting teeth.

The voice of his wife was across the phone. She keenly heard her husband's anger, and her tone became timid first, and she just asked him carefully when he would come back.

"Didn't you say it? I'm on my way back now!" Takada Keiba said impatiently, "It's just that there's a problem with the elevator at the company, which has been delayed for a while. At this time, there is no one in the building and no one comes to repair it..."

"Hey? But, but, I heard that it seems very noisy on your side. There are so many people shouting around you... Are you really in the company?"

The wife didn't believe what her husband said, but instead raised doubts. She also had some dissatisfaction. Even if she lies, she would at least cover it up!

It sounds like you are in a nightclub, and you don’t care about the surrounding environment at all, and you don’t know how to find a quiet place to listen to the phone. You just say that you are still in the company, and you are arrogant and say that there is no one around you at all?

Are you lying to the point!

"What are you talking nonsense! I...I..."

Takada Keita's voice just doubled impatiently, and then it stopped abruptly. He realized that his wife's words seemed to be a little bad.

He could no longer say the words afterwards. His lips trembled slightly, his throat was extremely thirsty, and a burst of cold air surged up along his spine.

After a while, an extremely tragic howling almost overturned the floor above!

“…”

“…”

A group of social animals working overtime raised their heads, looked around in confusion, and looked at each other.

"That... did you hear it?"

"It seems to be the voice of the minister. Didn't he leave before?"

"Do you want to go down and have a look?"

...

...

Not to mention the same thing, but similar things still happen in many places. After all, the population base is large, so there will definitely be more people with higher inspiration.

Some "things" are searching in a carpet-style manner, specifically looking for the existence of this type of person. After all, people with spiritual power must have inspiration, and ordinary people are absolutely impossible for someone to look for.

In a high-end apartment building near the middle of the city.

It is also a room on the 14th floor, with faint lights coming from the window.

"Dad, mom, you can do it, come here quickly... Come here quickly... Come here quickly... OK..."

In the dim room, a boy wearing pajamas but was soaked in cold sweat was sitting in front of the computer desk.

His face was pale and his head was covered in cold sweat. His voice was not only pressed very low, but also trembling, silently chanting repeated words.

The computer entered a dormant state because it was not operated for a long time, and the screen was pitch black. But he didn't dare to move, only knew to stare at the dark screen and stare at the thing behind it from the reflection of the screen.

At first he thought it was an hallucination until... he stared at the hallucination and saw it clearly.

That thing was behind him, staring at him tightly.

The boy regretted that he did not turn on the lights in the room in order not to be discovered by his parents, but turned on the desktop lights next to the table.

But at this time he didn't even have the strength to turn on the lights, and he couldn't turn around and look at the "thing" behind him-

Only forced to feel...

The feeling of fear in my heart that was gradually expanding.
