After printing the last document, Gu Qing rubbed his temples. The current situation of the branch company was not optimistic. Not only were there large loopholes in human resources and public relations, but the second phase of the marketing strategy also deviated from the basic plan of the headquarters. He really did not know what the managers of the branch were doing. He had to hold a high-level meeting tomorrow to re-formulate the current policy.
The clock on the wall pointed to 22:30. Gu Qing only realized now that his stomach was growling with hunger. He hoped that there was a fast food restaurant nearby that was open at night. Otherwise, he could only go home and make instant noodles.
Gu Qing walked to the door and turned off the air-conditioning and lighting in the room. Just as she took out her key and was about to close the door, she saw a faint blue circle floating in the air, probably at the bookshelf by the door. Gu Qing was shocked and quickly turned on the fluorescent lights.
With the light in the room, the circle of light immediately disappeared. Gu Qing walked closer to the bookshelf and looked carefully. There was nothing on the bookshelf. Where did the circle of light come from? Gu Qing trusted his eyes. His 5.5-point vision wouldn't be wrong. She looked carefully at the two sides of the bookshelf and found something strange.
On the side of the door, there was a string of beads embedded on the bookshelf. Each bead was only the size of a small fingernail. There were a total of eighteen beads. They looked like wood but not wood, iron but not iron, and they shone with a black light. Thinking back, when Yuwen Shuxue walked out of the door today, he touched the bookshelf. He should have seen this string of beads. Gu Qing looked at it curiously for a while and couldn't help but pry the edge of the bead with the key in his hand. Unexpectedly, the string of beads was easily pried off by the key and fell to the ground silently, leaving a circular hole on the side of the bookshelf that exposed the white wood.
Gu Qing was shocked. She didn't expect the prayer beads to come off so easily. It seemed that she had accidentally broken the bookshelf. She picked up the prayer beads on the ground. They felt very hard to the touch. She did not know what they were made of. She put the prayer beads into her bag, turned off the lights again, and locked the office door.
The main lights in the corridor had been extinguished, leaving only the small night lights on both sides of the feet. The dim yellow lights were like candles. In the distance, there was a green light box that indicated the safety exit, but because of the poor connection of the wires, it was flashing. Gu Qing walked along the long corridor step by step. She didn't feel like she was walking in a building, but more like she was walking towards an evil altar. She subconsciously clenched her hands and regretted working overtime until now. She was not familiar with this building at all. If she encountered any situation, she wouldn't even know how to escape...
Gu Qing, who was on tenterhooks, finally walked into the elevator. The scene in front of her made her heart tighten again. The doors of the two elevators on the left and right were open at the same time. And they were open all the time. Usually, didn't the elevators automatically close the doors? Could it be that both elevators were broken? Gu Qing felt like backing out. He turned around and walked toward the fire escape.
There was nothing strange in the fire escape. Gu Qing let out a sigh of relief and looked down from the guardrail to see if all the lights were on.
Indeed, the street lights on all the floors were lit, but because of this, Gu Qing saw something else.
Around the fourth or fifth floor, a black shadow was rapidly spiraling up. In just two to three seconds, it had reached the eighth floor. It was impossible for an ordinary person to go upstairs at such a fast speed!
Gu Qing was frightened and ran back to the elevator. The two elevator doors were still open. She couldn't care less. She muttered," Men on the left, women on the right " and walked into the elevator door on the right. As soon as she stepped into the elevator, the door closed automatically. Gu Qing pressed the button for the first floor, but there was no response. Instead, the button for the 12th floor seemed to have been lit since she entered…
The elevator started, but the descending speed was unusually slow. Gu Qing's mind was blank. He could only stare blankly at the floor indicator light.
On the 12th floor, the elevator door slowly opened. It was pitch black outside.
Gu Qing suddenly remembered that Tang Tao, the head of the business department, had told her about the floor distribution of this building on the way to the office this morning. This building was located in the prime commercial area of City G, so the first to fifth floors were rented to a large department store at a high price. The sixth to tenth floors were the company's municipal departments, and the seventeenth to twenty-fifth floors were the offices of the provincial departments. The eleventh to sixteenth floors in the middle of the building were still in the process of renting. Due to the high price, no one was interested for the time being.
How could the elevator stop on the deserted twelfth floor? Cold sweat began to form on Gu Qing's forehead. She desperately hit the door closing button and the first floor button, but the elevator seemed to be stuck and did not move.
Gu Qing hurriedly took out her mobile phone and wanted to call the security guard on duty on the first floor, but she found that her mobile phone only had the number of the original office building. She knew nothing about the new building. Moreover, the phone signal was like the fire exit light box on the 18th floor, jumping from nothing to nothing. She tried to dial 110, but the line was cut off as soon as it was connected. While Gu Qing was fiddling with his phone in the elevator, he didn't notice that his eyes had slowly adapted to the darkness outside the elevator. When she accidentally looked up at the door, she immediately screamed!
In the endless darkness outside the door, there was a person standing vaguely. From the vague figure, it could be determined that it was a woman who was about the same height as Gu Qing!
Gu Qing screamed and retreated two steps. The figure also retreated into the darkness. Gu Qing, who was still in shock, gritted his teeth and decided to rush out. If he could run to the exit of the fire escape, he might be able to avoid this nightmarish scene. Just as she rushed to the elevator door, the black shadow also rushed to Gu Qing and blocked her way! The distance between the two was so close that Gu Qing's nose almost collided with the other's. Gu Qing only saw a pair of green eyes moving very quickly. She had no strength to scream and fainted on the ground…
