Looking around, the entire space was in a mess, and only the marble floor, which had been blackened by smoke, remained in its original state.
The original doors of each office were burned down, leaving only dark holes.
However, this did provide some convenience for Lin Chen and Gu Nian.
What is inside these rooms can be seen at a glance just by standing at the door.
The two people walked through each office and saw only burned and scrapped computers, blackened printing presses, and piles of newspapers and papers that were burned to ashes...
The two people walked inside this scorched building for a long time, but didn't see what they were looking for at all.
However, when they walked to a room on the second floor, they made another discovery.
On the mottled, black and yellow wall, there were a few small splatters of blood!
The blood stains looked very old and had dried and turned black.
"This..." Gu Nian frowned: "Did the people here encounter the same thing as the people in the library five years ago?"
"It's very possible." Lin Chen said as he pulled Gu Nian and strode into the room.
Gu Nian pointed to the fire alarm device installed on the ceiling that had been burned out of shape, and said to Lin Chen: "Generally, units like this where flammable materials are everywhere will attach great importance to fire prevention, so they will install it."
These fire protection and water spray devices. However, judging from the current situation, these devices obviously do not play their due role."
"Does this mean that the system controlling the devices was artificially shut down before they took effect?" Lin Chen said.
He bent down and began to carefully inspect the situation inside the room.
Because inside this room, there is an iron cabinet that was burned black and deformed.
Other documents, materials, newspapers, etc. were all burned. Maybe some of the documents in the iron cabinet can be preserved.
However, when he opened the metal cabinet, he only saw piles of unrecognizable documents and items that had been burned to ashes.
Instead, Gu Nian discovered something in an inconspicuous, dark corner.
That corner was one of the locations where several small spray-like blood stains appeared.
There, there is a piece of text.
The strange thing is that those words were actually dug out by someone with their fingernails!
The content of that text is, "They are coming... Damn it, it's all our fault. We shouldn't..."
This passage ends here.
The last word "should" is missing two strokes.
It was obvious that while the man was trying to leave some message, something interrupted him and prevented him from finishing.
After seeing the content of this passage, Gu Nian frowned and began to think.
If newspaper employees suffered the same killings as library staff, then it should be those butchers with sickles who killed them.
but……
Why did the person who wrote this passage use "them" to refer to those butchers?
Could it be said that those butchers are not human beings?
"Nian Nian, there is a safe here, embedded in the wall. Let me try to see if I can open it." Lin Chen said to Gu Nian.
In such a place that was burned beyond recognition...
