When it got dark, Li Xiaoqi and the others were still in the practice room. People living in the "Martial City Walled City", after finishing their busy day, all returned home and started cooking dinner. Among them, Some lively and active children naturally do not need to cook with their parents. After the children have finished their homework and the dinner is not ready, the parents allow the children to cook with the neighbor's children before the dinner is ready. Play outside for a while, and Xiaogang is one of these children playing outside.
"Shangwu Walled City" is intricately intertwined and has an architectural style that blends ancient and modern styles. As a result, some places cannot be exposed to sunlight even during the day. In addition, the building scale of "Shangwu Walled City" is very large. , so in these dark places where the sunlight does not reach the light bulbs, if they break, they will inevitably not be discovered and cannot be repaired in time.
After Xiaogang promised his mother that he would go home immediately when he heard her call, he went with his neighbor Xiaolin to find friends who played well, like seven or eight-year-old boys like Xiaogang. In addition to being naughty and mischievous, what they like to do most, as they are eager to grow up quickly, is to take some childish "adventures" to prove that they have the same courage as adults.
Xiao Lin's father is one of the few electricians in the "Shangwu Walled City". Because there are really not enough manpower, Xiao Lin's father often complains at home. Because of the manpower shortage, there are often people in the walled city who cannot get timely work. In terms of repairs, residents have reported since the past few days that the lights in the fourth-floor corridor of Building 44 and Building 47, which have the worst lighting in the West District of Chengzhai, and on the overpass connecting to other buildings are broken. , but since there are other places in the walled city that require Xiao Lin's father and others to work on, the problems of these two buildings have to be put aside for now. Because of this, before Xiao Lin went out, his father told him that he must be busy these days. Don't go to those two buildings, day or night.
But as the saying goes, seven- and eight-year-old boys are disgusted with dogs. The more they are not allowed to do things at home, they will do it. Xiao Lin is suggesting that a few people go to Buildings 44 and 47 together. After going on an adventure on the fourth floor, the five friends, including Xiaogang, all excitedly agreed. Perhaps in the eyes of these little guys, what they did tonight can help them grow closer. They are one step closer, but what they don't know is that tonight's experience will definitely become an indelible and terrifying memory for them as they grow up.
Although it was completely dark now and no one was outside in the walled city, the lights on in every house and the sound of cooking made the six children not feel scared and they were talking and laughing. Laughing, they soon arrived at the bottom of Building No. 44. Several of them looked up at the dark fourth floor. Their previous excitement suddenly disappeared, but they were worried about being laughed at by their friends. The six people had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk towards the building.
However, just as Xiaogang took the lead and entered the first floor entrance of Building No. 44, an old voice came from the darkness of the first floor entrance.
"Child, if you run out at night, don't worry about your parents."
This intrusive voice immediately frightened Xiao Gang and screamed. However, when his voice lit up the voice-activated lights in the corridor, except for the six of them, no old people were seen at all. Xiao Gang, who was a little frightened, I asked my friends if they heard anything just now, but the answer they got was that they heard nothing except his scream just now.
This episode did not affect the six children's determination to explore the fourth floor. What Xiaogang didn't pay attention to was that after being frightened just now, he felt that his body began to feel cold. , at the same time, as long as his little friend didn't talk to him, Xiaogang felt that his consciousness was a little blurry.
After the little one yelled just now, the children became even more timid, but fortunately, the slightly higher buildings in "Shangwu City Walled" all have elevators. After entering the elevator, the elevator doors are a bit After the elevator door closed, it was obvious that there were only six children in the elevator. They were not very tall or fat, and they did not take up much space. However, after the elevator door closed, I felt an inexplicable feeling of crowding. What was even more strange was that, Before Xiao Lin reached out to press the floor button, the elevator automatically started to rise.
Xiao Lin must have been scared when encountering such a strange situation, but as he was three years older than the other children, in order not to arouse fear in Xiao Gang and the others, he did not say anything. He just turned around and wanted to talk to Xiao Lin. When Xiaogang and the others were saying something, he accidentally glanced at the eyes of the smooth inner wall of the elevator and saw his own reflection on the inner wall. He still kept the action of pressing the elevator button just now. Just when Xiaogang wanted to When he looked away, standing behind him, Xiaogang's reflection on the inner wall gave him a stiff smile, and then Xiaogang's reflection strangled the neck of Xiaolin's reflection.
As his reflection on the inner wall of the elevator was strangled, a strong sense of suffocation also appeared on Xiao Lin. Just when Xiao Lin's consciousness began to blur due to the strong suffocation, with the sound of "ding" "With a sound, the elevator that reached the fourth floor slowly opened its door. At this moment, a cold hand was placed on Xiao Lin's shoulder. Xiao Lin looked back and saw that the person who put his hand on his shoulder was Xiaogang.
Because of the reflection he saw on the inner wall of the elevator and the sudden feeling of suffocation, although Xiaolin saw Xiaogang the same as before, he still backed out of the elevator in horror and ran in in panic. In the darkness of the fourth floor corridor.
Seeing Xiao Lin's escaping figure gradually disappearing into the darkness of the corridor until it completely disappeared, the five children in the elevator immediately panicked and shouted, pressing the button on the first floor of the elevator to leave. Here, no matter how they pressed the button on the first floor, there seemed to be an invisible thing between the elevator doors, always blocking the elevator door and preventing it from closing. The elevator also suddenly stopped when it descended slightly. for a moment, and then rose back to its original position.
Faced with such a situation of no escape, the five children, who had already burst into tears, had no choice but to walk out of the elevator in fear. However, after they left the elevator with their front feet, the elevator door closed normally with their back feet. This time, they were in the dark corridor. Inside, the five extremely frightened children could only tremble and cry together. They hoped to attract the attention of the residents on the fourth floor by shouting loudly, but all they saw was endless darkness, and only they were heard. The shouts were mixed with echoes of cries.
