Entering the elevator, Chen Ge pressed the number 23 on the control panel. The first place he wanted to go was the 23rd floor.
The silver-gray elevator door slowly closed, as if it was cut off from the outside world.
Chen Ge's breathing became rapid. He didn't like taking elevators very much. This was not because he had a phobia about hissophobia. He just didn't want to be restricted to a narrow environment.
The numbers on the display keep changing without any pause.
"It seems that the situation in the building is the same as Wang Xin's adoptive mother said. Residents here rarely take the elevator at night."
It rises at a constant speed, and the number on the display changes to "23".
The prompt sounded, and the silver-gray elevator doors opened to both sides.
The light came from the elevator and was engulfed in darkness four or five meters away. The corridor was dark, with closed security doors on both sides.
"Already reached the top floor?"
The 23rd floor looks no different from other floors, except that the window at the end of the corridor seems not to be closed tightly, and the whistling wind can be heard.
"It feels a bit strange to be riding in an elevator alone at night."
After the elevator door closed, Chen Ge pressed the number "2" on the control panel again.
The elevator began to descend and reached the second floor smoothly.
"Why did the Ghost Story Association design these? Can you really find the extra 24 floors by taking the elevator back and forth?"
When the elevator door closed, Chen Ge headed to the 22nd floor.
The speed of the elevator will change when it starts and stops, causing temporary weightlessness or overweight. This is also the reason why some people feel dizzy and nauseated when riding in the elevator.
Chen Ge was in good physical condition, but after sitting up and down in the elevator for nearly five minutes, he felt a little uncomfortable. His heart was beating very fast and he couldn't calm down. He always felt that something was going to happen.
After repeating it several times, Chen Ge felt bored and he couldn't explain why.
The elevator returned to the seventh floor from the eighteenth floor, and then he pressed the button for the seventeenth floor.
There have been no surprises throughout the entire process, and the method recorded in the Monster Stories Association's flyer seems more like a psychological game.
The elevator rose at a constant speed, and the numbers on the display screen kept changing. Soon the elevator slowed down again, and the silver-gray elevator doors slowly opened to both sides.
Chen Ge raised his head and glanced outside the door. There was nothing in the corridor, and all the residents in the building seemed to be asleep. It was very quiet.
"I'm very lucky. I haven't met anyone yet. If you repeat it a few times, you can try to go to the 24th floor." Chen Ge has become accustomed to this process. When he pressed the elevator button, his eyes casually glanced at the display screen, glowing.
The faint red light made his arm freeze in mid-air.
"16?"
He clearly pressed the button leading to the seventeenth floor. The button representing the seventeenth floor on the elevator control panel was still on, but the elevator inexplicably opened on the sixteenth floor.
"Someone got on the elevator on this floor!"
Bending down, his right hand drooped, and he touched the butcher's knife on his calf. Chen Ge stared at the empty elevator, keeping a high degree of vigilance.
The corridor outside was pitch dark, and it was impossible to see clearly the scene ten meters away. The surroundings were dead silent, and no sound could be heard.
"Could it be a child's prank?"
This thought crossed his mind and was quickly dismissed by Chen Ge.
A few seconds later, the silver-gray elevator door slowly closed. Chen Ge looked at the empty elevator, not daring to relax at all. There was most likely something else standing next to him that he couldn't see.
Putting his left hand into his pocket, Chen Ge took out his phone and looked at the time. It was 00:01, and it was already Wednesday.
The elevator continued upward and stopped at the seventeenth floor.
Chen Ge pressed against the elevator wall and pressed the button for the eighth floor, but not long after, another accident happened.
The elevator descending at a constant speed stopped on the eleventh floor. After the elevator door opened, Chen Ge found a white dress hanging in the middle of the corridor.
"Is something coming up again?" There was no wind in the corridor, but the skirt was swaying back and forth, as if it was floating towards the elevator.
Taking one step forward, Chen Ge quickly pressed the elevator door button.
The clothes outside were floating faster and faster, like a person running in the corridor.
"Close the door quickly!"
When the white skirt was still two or three meters away, the elevator door closed and continued downward.
Chen Ge leaned in the corner, his palms covered in cold sweat. From a certain moment on, this building became different.
The elevator reached the eighth floor safely, and Chen Ge stayed on this floor for a while.
According to the introduction in the flyer, he should now go to the sixteenth floor, but if the elevator goes to the sixteenth floor, it must pass by the white skirt floor.
He was worried that the elevator would open by itself on the eleventh floor, and the white skirt would be standing outside waiting for him.
His fingers paused on the control panel for a long time, and he finally pressed it: "Forget it if it's a red dress. There's no need to be afraid of a white dress."
Reaching out to hide the ballpoint pen in his sleeve, Chen Ge kept comforting himself: "I am accompanied by Bixian and Xu Yin. If it dares to come in, don't blame me for bullying the minority."
The elevator continued upwards, and when it almost reached the eleventh floor, Chen Ge's heart began to lift.
But what surprised him was that the elevator did not stop on the eleventh floor this time. The numbers slowly changed. Before Chen Ge could breathe a sigh of relief, the elevator stopped on the thirteenth floor.
"Is someone coming in again?"
The silver-gray elevator door slowly opened, and standing outside was an old woman wearing black clothes and a thick scarf.
She looks very old, with wrinkles on her face like bean skin, full of silver hair, and her hands and feet are all covered in clothes.
The other party didn't seem to expect that there would be anyone in the elevator, so he stood outside and was stunned for a moment.
"Strange..." Her voice was low, and she did not enter the elevator until the elevator door began to close.
"It's late at night, why are there so many people taking the elevator? They can't even squeeze in."
After hearing what the old lady said, cold sweat broke out on Chen Ge's forehead. He was originally planning to bully the smaller ones, but now it seems that the situation has changed.
"No wonder Bixian is so honest and doesn't react at all. This guy doesn't give me any hints."
Glancing around, it was clear that he was the only one in the elevator, but when he recalled the old grandma's words, Chen Ge's heart beat even harder.
"There must be something wrong. Even in the third ward, I have never been so nervous." Chen Ge forced himself to stay calm, but his brain seemed to be stimulated by something invisible, and he was constantly releasing.
Pay attention to danger signs.
"There's something wrong with this old lady. She went out in black clothes and a scarf at night. Is she that cold?"
After meeting the old lady, there were no more problems with the elevator. It seemed like what she said was true. The elevator was now packed with people and people outside couldn't get in even if they wanted to.
