"There's something else in the elevator other than me. It was the thing that pressed the number 3 on the control panel."
A thick stench rushed out from behind him, and like an invisible hand, it gripped Chen Ge in its grasp.
His breathing became difficult, and the sound of a small car sliding came from inside the elevator.
The rough wheels rubbed against the metallic floor, and it felt like someone was pushing a small car back and forth inside the elevator.
"I've used Yin Yang Vision to look around. There are no ghosts or people inside this elevator, and there can't be a car. Have I run into something that even Yin Yang Vision cannot see?"
Yin Yang Vision came from the black phone, and it had been strengthened several times. Zhang Ya had even blown a gust of Yin energy into Chen Ge's eyes. This talent was already very powerful, and there was no chance that it would fail.
"Just what is behind me?"
To get to the bottom of this, the easiest way was to turn around to look, but Chen Ge knew that curiosity killed the cat. He gritted his teeth and did not move.
The stench thickened. It was unclear where the stench came from, but it lingered around Chen Ge and tried to crawl into his body.
The elevator was large, but as the elevator moved upward, Chen Ge felt like his surroundings became more and more crowded. Even breathing became more difficult.
"How come it feels like the elevator is filled with people?"
Chen Ge kept his head lowered as he glanced at the control panel out of the corner of his eyes. He did not dare move his eyes away, afraid that he might see something that he should not.
"So slow …"
There was nowhere to run inside the enclosed elevator. All Chen Ge could do was wait.
Under Chen Ge's scrutiny, the number on the elevator screen finally changed. The red number '1' turned into '2'.
It was just a few seconds, but it felt like a long night for Chen Ge.
"The elevator door is about to open!"
His muscles tensed, and Chen Ge was worried that the elevator would not open on the second floor but directly go up to the third floor.
The elevator that was slowly moving up shook slightly. Then there was a soft chime from the monitor, and the elevator stopped.
The silver-gray elevator door slowly opened, and at the same time, a thick stench rushed toward Chen Ge, as if trying to push him into the depths of the elevator.
Without waiting for the elevator door to fully open, Chen Ge waved his hands and dashed out of the elevator!
He walked out for a few meters before slowing down. He stood in the corridor and looked back.
The silver-gray elevator door was slowly closing. There was nothing in the empty elevator car, and the pungent stench slowly disappeared as the elevator door closed.
"Why is there nothing?" Shifting his gaze, Chen Ge inadvertently swept his gaze across the floor of the elevator. He could vaguely see clumps of dirt on the floor that looked like human faces.
The elevator door closed completely, and the number on the display screen changed from "2" to "3".
"They seem to have gone to the third floor." Chen Ge was still holding the small prop that he had made, and it was already soaked in sweat. "Thankfully, I didn't leave this thing at the elevator door. If the elevator doesn't move up, the thing inside will definitely come after me."
Shoving the prop into his backpack, Chen Ge looked at the elevator with lingering fear. "When I leave later, it's safer to jump out the window. The second floor is not that high."
Before figuring out what the thing was, Chen Ge would not take the elevator again.
"Focus, I'll follow the plan."
Narrowing his eyes, Chen Ge leaned against the wall to look for the art room.
When he arrived at the second floor, the anxiety in Chen Ge's heart intensified. This building was different from any building that he had been to before.
He could sense that there was something wrong with the building, but he could not pinpoint what it was.
Only his own footsteps could be heard in the dark corridor. After walking for several meters, Chen Ge discovered a very strange room.
"A duty room?"
"Why would there be a duty room inside the lab building? Why would someone need to stay here at night? Could it be that there is something valuable stored inside? "
Two questions appeared in Chen Ge's mind. The first was why would there be a duty room in the lab building, and the second was why was the room built on the second floor and not the first floor? Did the person on duty only need to look after the second floor?
"There won't be someone inside this room now, will there?"
Chen Ge sneaked his way to the door of the room. He looked inside through the glass on the door. The interior was simple. There was only a bed, a wooden table, a chair, and a large armoire that could fit two adults.
Turning the doorknob lightly, the door was not locked. Chen Ge pushed the door open and entered the room.
"There should be information about this building inside the duty room. If I can confirm that the art room is not inside this building, I'll jump out the window directly."
Chen Ge did not close the door. He first walked to the armoire.
The armoire was unusually large. Chen Ge was afraid that someone was hiding inside, so the first thing he checked was the armoire.
Holding the nail in his palm, Chen Ge slowly opened the armoire door.
There were several sets of blue work clothes inside. When Chen Ge opened the armoire door, he accidentally knocked them open because the clothes were swaying lightly.
"The clothes are fine, but how come the part with the school's name has been torn off?" Chen Ge inspected all the clothes and realized that all the pictures and words that represented the school's name had been cut off.
"The school staff might be wearing this kind of clothes." Chen Ge grabbed a random set and shoved it inside his backpack. "When I go to the western campus, I can pretend to be the school's mechanic."
Pulling up the zipper of the backpack, Chen Ge did not close the armoire door and continued to search the room for valuable items.
He opened the wooden table's drawer. It was filled with the records of purchases and deliveries. All the names and prices of the products were replaced with symbols. Chen Ge could not understand them.
"Should I take the account book with me?"
Chen Ge thought about it and gave up. The account book would not be of much use to him, and it would only bring trouble to himself.
There was nothing inside the room. Chen Ge closed the drawer and prepared to leave, but when he turned around, he noticed that the bed sheet on the wooden bed was wrinkled like someone had sat on it.
"When I first came in, were the sheets wrinkled?"
Staring at the wooden bed, Chen Ge became more confused. "A normal bed should be placed against the wall, so why is this bed placed in the middle of the room? It is not even leaning against a wall? "
Standing beside the bed, Chen Ge could hear someone whispering. He looked at the drooping bed sheet, gripped the nail, and slowly bent down.
Reaching out to grab the edge of the bed sheet, Chen Ge half-squatted down to look under the bed.
The wooden bed was placed in the middle of the room, and there was nothing under the bed.
Sighing in relief, Chen Ge was about to stand up when his shoulder bumped into something.
He turned to look and realized with a start that there were two legs dangling from the headboard.
"Who is it?"
Chen Ge stood up immediately, but there was no one sitting on the bed. The two legs appeared to be visible only from underneath the bed.
"I can't stay here any longer."
Chen Ge grabbed his backpack and left. When he closed the door, his eyes could clearly see a red shirt swaying lightly inside the armoire.
