Chapter 1

In 2000, I was studying outside. Because my family was poor, I often had to do part-time jobs to support myself.I have worked as a tutor, distributed leaflets, delivered food, etc., until a friend introduced me to a security job with a good salary, and my monthly living expenses were stable, and I was able to send hundreds of dollars to my family from time to time. dollars.

However, the office building where I work is very strange, which I only discovered after working for more than half a month.If I knew the consequences at that time, even if I was given 100 million, I would not go.

Not to mention that I am the only one on duty in the whole building at night, and the leader, Sister Liu, is also elusive. I have only seen her once in half a month, and I still have a weird impression.The first time I met Ms. Liu, she told me that because I was on the night shift, there were three things I needed to pay attention to. She said that the first thing was to turn off the elevator on time at twelve o'clock, and not to open it no matter what happened upstairs. Don't delay for 5 minutes, or else accidents will happen.

Although I didn't ask about it at the time, I was still thinking about it. Later, Sister Liu explained that the elevator was often out of order, and if it didn't close at twelve o'clock, who would be responsible if something happened, and I was relieved.

The second thing is that the gate cannot be opened at any time. No matter who wants to come in or go out, it cannot be opened at night, even if someone is killed by the door, it cannot be moved.To be honest, I didn't pay much attention to these rules. It is said that every security unit would have similar requirements. However, what gave me a little shock was the expression of Sister Liu when she said this, gloomy, staring at me... And especially the last sentence: Even if you kill someone at the door, you can't go out.She repeated this twice.

I asked Sister Liu what the third thing was, and Sister Liu vaguely said that as long as the first two things are completed, there is nothing special to arrange later, as long as I don’t run around at night, I don’t need to go upstairs or downstairs. I patrol, just stay in the monitoring room honestly.

In the first two weeks of going to work, nothing happened. Later, I found out that there were no birds in this office building at night. Every time I closed the elevator, I went back to the monitoring room to sleep after looking around, and slept until three or four in the morning. Look at the monitoring screen, confirm that there is nothing serious, and continue to sleep.If things go on like this, I think this job is easy, there is no leadership ink, it is usually idle, and the salary is still paid on a weekly basis.

That night, at the class reunion, I couldn't help but drank two glasses. When I got to work, my head was still a little dizzy, so I lay down on the monitoring platform and wanted to squint for a while. I found out that it was already a quarter past twelve, which frightened me.Holding the flashlight, I hurried out to close the elevator. Just as I was about to turn on the power control, I suddenly found that the elevator was running automatically. As soon as I looked up, I saw the display on the elevator door: 13...12...11...3...

The elevator stopped suddenly when it was on the third floor, and it took a long time to get down.I wonder if there are still people on this big night?For the past half month, I have always thought that the office building does not even have a bird's egg, but it will be too late. If I turn off the power here and there are people inside, I will probably be scolded bloody by the people inside.After thinking about it, I decided to wait. It just so happened that the elevator was going down normally, and it would take a few seconds to get down.

The elevator stopped on the first floor, the door opened slowly, and then closed again after a beep. I checked inside to make sure no one was there, and waited for the elevator to close the door and turn off the power.But this broken elevator seems to be walking away, it just doesn't close, as usual, if there is no one in the elevator, the elevator will automatically sense it, and then shut down and stop.I just remembered that Sister Liu said that the elevator is prone to failure. I was thinking about the truth today, so I went into the elevator to check what the failure was. Coincidentally, as soon as I walked in, the elevator door was about to close. Fortunately, I have quick eyesight and quick hands, and immediately stretched out my hand to block the elevator door that was about to close. The elevator's automatic sensing device was not broken, and it bounced back in an instant.I also broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that if the elevator door didn't bounce back, I would lose my hand.

I stepped out of the elevator door again and turned off the power.

When I got back to the monitoring room, the more I thought about it, the more something was wrong. It is said that during the time I was on duty, the elevator did not have any failures, but it happened when I turned off the power supply late today.And if no one is riding, the elevator will not run up and down. I stretched out my hand just now. If the elevator really fails, my hand is gone. In this case, it means that the elevator's induction facility is normal!
I'm too lazy to think about it. When I'm wondering who hasn't made a mistake, I won't tell you about it, and Sister Liu won't know about it. As long as I pay attention next time, don't make similar mistakes.

I lay on the monitoring platform and stared at the camera video. I don’t know if it was an illusion or something. I suddenly saw an unclear shadow flashing across the screen. For a while, however, nothing special was found.I shook my head, thinking to myself that I would never dare to drink again when I go to work, and I felt a little flustered.

Just as I was about to rub my eyes, someone knocked on the door of the monitoring room. I was startled, stood up vigilantly, and took the security stick next to me in my hand.As soon as I walked to the door, I suddenly thought that if I was a resident upstairs, I would carry the stick so as not to scare them. After thinking about it, I put the stick aside.

I asked who is it?

No one responded at the door. I looked out through the peephole and found a woman in white clothes standing at the door. Because it was dark outside, I couldn't tell what she looked like.I relaxed a little, thinking that since I was a woman, I wouldn't worry about any accidents, so I opened the door directly.

The woman blocked her face with her hands as if reflexively, probably because the lights in the room were too strong.I said who are you, what's the matter?
The woman put her hand down, revealing a fair face, long hair and shawl, she looked like a movie star at first glance.She hugged her shoulders and said helplessly, I had a fight with my husband, and he kicked me out, can you open the door for me, I want to go back to my mother's house.

I was stunned for a few seconds, and my first reaction was that it was really beautiful. After thinking about it, it seems that this office building is still occupied by people. It was empty every time I went to work. I thought it was an abandoned place.Since it was a family conflict, of course I couldn't say anything, so I told her that our unit has regulations, and the gate can no longer be used after twelve o'clock.

The woman suddenly became very wronged, lowered her head and said that I know, I'd better go back.

I smiled and said, couples, quarreling at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, after all, they are husband and wife, so you and your husband should have a good talk.But I was thinking in my heart, this man is too sympathetic, and he doesn't cherish such a beautiful daughter-in-law.

The woman suddenly sneered, twisted the corner of her mouth and said that the elevator is closed, I'm afraid of the dark, can you take me upstairs?
I hesitated for a while, wondering if the couple had a quarrel, would it cause trouble if I, an outsider, sent her back?If her husband saw her with another man, he might throw a tantrum again.I asked her which floor she was on, and she said it was on the fourteenth floor. I said, let me lend you the flashlight, and you will return it when you are free. I am still working and it is inconvenient to leave my post.

To be honest, I don't want to be nosy, and although this woman is very beautiful, she always gives people a cold feeling, and I found one thing, this woman came out with bare feet, and the bottom of her feet turned out to be cold. There are also wet footprints. I thought to myself that even if it was a family conflict, I wouldn't run out barefoot. The strangest thing is that her husband didn't come out to find her.I wondered if there were other things, but whether people were lying or not, I shouldn't ask.

The woman took the flashlight and left. I closed the door of the monitoring room, and somehow I felt a hairy feeling in my heart.Sitting back on the spot, I stretched my waist and turned my attention to the monitoring screen again. The dark camera screen that had been staying near the elevator suddenly flickered. The elevator monitors the screen and adjusts the light.At this time, a strange thing happened. The elevator that was shut down by me started running automatically, and the light on the floor button turned on as if someone had pressed it. I took a closer look and saw the 14th floor.

My scalp suddenly became numb, and I quickly sat up straight, staring at the picture above carefully.

Because the lights in the elevator are relatively dim, and the cameras inside have blind spots, I still can't see whether there is anyone in it.But the elevator floor button is on, which means that someone has pressed it, and the elevator is running automatically, which proves that I did not close it just now!

I was dumbfounded, I did turn off the power of the elevator, why did it restart?I stared fixedly at the screen, thinking that I would be able to see if there was anyone when the elevator opened.

The moment the elevator door opened, a white figure flashed past, and I was startled. I couldn't see it clearly because the picture was blurry, but I figured it should be the woman in white just now.I cursed in my heart, then opened the door and ran out. When I reached the elevator door, I suddenly found that the elevator power was off, and there was nothing unusual!But I just clearly saw it on the surveillance... I was shocked in my heart, and the moment I lowered my head to think, I suddenly found a few wet footprints on the ground, and the place where the footprints disappeared pointed to the elevator.I felt more and more weird. I walked over and tried to press the elevator's "up and down" button a few times, but there was no response at all. I suddenly felt terrified. Since the elevator can't be used, how did that woman get up! ?
