"...It happened on a very cold night. Because it had been rainy for several days, it got dark earlier than usual, and the nearby amusement park was deserted, with not many tourists in sight. The usually beautiful scenery of Xiangchen The bridge also became eerie and ferocious under the gloomy night, completely changing its appearance."
The bright red thick liquid slowly climbed up in the transparent pipe.
"Xiao Ming, a graduate student who has recently joined the company's scientific research department as an intern, works in a laboratory just to the east. Through the window, he can see the amusement park and Xiangchen Bridge Park. His family lives in the city center, although he wants to get there early I went back, but seeing that none of my teammates had left, I felt embarrassed to say that I would get off work on time."
As the narrator spoke, the thick and sticky red liquid swirled restlessly, forming an extremely unstable vortex.
"——Unfortunately, their work task today was very unsatisfactory. Logically speaking, they should be able to measure a certain data within half an hour, but due to some slight human errors, they had to repeat it several times. The team leader said: He got angry and demanded that the whole team must complete the measurements before getting off work, otherwise they would sleep in the company tonight. Seeing that the time was approaching twelve o'clock, Xiao Ming became more and more anxious. Unfortunately, he was just a newbie who had just arrived. is a graduate student. He has no right to object, and it is not his turn to even help with measurement experiments. Because the laboratory has very high environmental requirements, internal staff are required to lock up all cigarettes, chewing gum and other sundries before entering. Deposit in the safe room, and you need the team leader's ID card to leave the floor of the scientific research department, so Xiao Ming has nowhere to go. He can only use the bathroom to escape the depressive atmosphere in the laboratory. He sat in a closed cubicle For several minutes, I suddenly heard light and steady footsteps passing by the bathroom door. The men's bathroom is near the end of the corridor. If you go further, the only room you can go to is the women's bathroom."
The red vortex was stirred, occasionally revealing the soft and deformed contents at the bottom, like a cauldron of flesh and blood.
"Xiao Ming was extremely surprised. No one was left in the adjacent laboratory in the corridor. There were only two female members in his team, and the footsteps were different from just now. What he heard just now was like the sound of hard-soled shoes. The sound of knocking on the floor was in principle prohibited from appearing in the laboratory. In order to confirm whether it was the security guard who was passing by for inspection, Xiao Ming tiptoed out of the men's restroom and went to the women's restroom with the door ajar to take a peek. He saw the window at the end of the restroom. In front of him, a girl in red stood quietly. Her body shape and height were completely different from the female colleagues Xiao Ming knew.
"He suddenly remembered that a girl jumped to death in this building a month ago. The girl was a senior internal researcher, and the reason for her suicide was unknown so far, causing rumors in the company. At this moment, he was standing in the women's toilet and looking out at the girl in red. , exactly as in the rumors. He began to feel strong fear, and just when he was about to slip away, the girl in red suddenly turned around - not turning around, but turning her head 180 degrees like a jointed doll. The head spun around! The girl's face was covered with blood, and with a broken face she said to Xiao Ming who was hiding outside the door...Thank you, please pack these two strawberry juices."
The clerk followed the instructions and put two glasses of bright red freshly squeezed strawberry juice into the packaging bag, and handed it directly to the two girls next to him with a wink. Zhang Mumu cheered and hugged the drink bottle and began to sip heavily. Zhou Yu took the cup expressionlessly and continued to look at Chen Wei, who was leading the way.
"What does Mr. Zhou think of this legend?"
"I don't have any special opinion. I just want to know if the strawberry juice of the female ghost in red was packaged in the end."
"Haha, don't be so weird. Of course those were not her original words."
"Then please just describe the original version, and please remove the redundant artistic processing - by the way, calling the protagonist 'Xiao Ming' is also terrible. As soon as this name comes out, people feel that they can't survive three episodes, um, It’s almost the same as your name. If we lived in a horror movie, Mr. Chen, you would be the first to die. After all, with a name like yours, the screenwriter probably doesn’t even have three minutes of personal plot. I conceived it for you."
"That's not the case. With a name like mine that is universal, you can at least resist two or three attacks when the ghost appears for the first time. If you seize the opportunity tightly, you can still get a few beautiful lines... Let's get back to the topic. Although 'Xiao Ming' is just a pseudonym, the prototype is indeed someone who was my graduate student in the last two terms. We met at a board game meeting, and I happened to hear him talk about it. Of course, he was not that good. It was so miserable that I had a close encounter with the red-clothed ghost, but I did witness the dead 'Little Red Riding Hood' wandering in the streets downstairs. He was not the only one, but many people who worked nearby seemed to have witnessed it. I When I chat with people here, I hear similar statements basically every time.”
"...You really have a wide range of contacts."
Chen Wei didn't even have any formal embarrassment about this ironic evaluation, and he still pointed to the building in the distance with a smile.
"That's that office building. The scientific research branch of Lunxing Biopharmaceuticals is said to be the company's largest technology research and development center. The upper floors of the building are all core laboratories. It feels a bit like a shady chaebol, right? Usually the departments below the thirteenth floor are There are specific opening days where customers are allowed to organize visits. Unfortunately, the visits have now been suspended due to safety reasons."
"Why? Because the building is haunted?"
"That's not... It may be a bit unbelievable to say that the building was struck by lightning two months ago. According to the 'Xiao Ming' I know, the impact of the lightning strike penetrated at least six floors and several cores. The laboratories suffered heavy losses.”
"……it's out of the question."
"It's really unbelievable in common sense, but it happened. The lightning rod in the building did not play a role in inducing lightning, and the current intensity of the lightning strike far exceeded the conventional value. The reason has not been found yet. Because it cannot be ruled out that it is something special in the building. Due to equipment or magnetic field environment, senior officials were worried that this would happen again, so they suspended tourism activities. The laboratory has not been closed, but I heard that the proposal to move to a new location has been approved. Once the budget is clear, it will be moved to another location soon. In this place, the future of this building is also uncertain. What a pity, the high-tech park here can be regarded as one of the scenic spots."
Listening to his explanation, Zhou Yu looked at the building blankly.
Two months later, no traces of lightning strikes could be seen on the surface of the prism-shaped building. The bright and simple silver-white metal covering grows like a layer of fine scales outside the building. This design not only has a strong sense of future technology, but also makes people chillingly think of the deep-sea aquarium of the Paleozoic era.
This contradictory architectural image is like Migenzhu City itself.
For no reason, Zhou Yu thought of Hongye. To be precise, it was his first meeting with Hongye. On the metal supports at the construction site, Hongye summoned a storm with strange yellow talismans. That incredible experience is still etched in his heart, but because Hongye avoids talking about it, he doesn't ask in depth.
For some reason, when I heard what Chen Wei said about the lightning strike incident, Hongye's use of Fu Zhaofeng came to mind more and more clearly.
"...Is there no way to enter that building now?"
Unconsciously, he blurted out what was on his mind, then immediately woke up and pursed his lips in annoyance.
Chen Wei laughed meaningfully.
"Do you want to go in and have a look? However, I remember that classmate Zhou, you are not interested in ghosts."
"I'm really not interested. I'm here to find the recording location."
"Then you might be interested in this matter," Chen Wei said, "Classmate Zhou, do you know where the farthest the sound of the roller coaster can be transmitted? That is the distance from the Lunxing Building. Because of the problem of building reflection , the sound of the roller coaster can be heard in the laboratory on the upper floor of the Lunxing Building. The second point is the direction. The scream of the roller coaster in that recording is actually from far to near. The human ear may not be able to hear the difference of a few seconds, but It can be compared slightly by placing it on the waveform chart. Combined with the track route of the roller coaster track from east to west, it can be determined that the recording location must be on the west side of the roller coaster."
He raised his arm and gestured to the high-tech park behind him.
"The last and third point is time. The recording time you sent was October 7 last year, Saturday. The weather conditions that day were very strange. It was sunny in the first half of the day and started to rain in the afternoon, so the roller coaster only It was open for half a day. If the recording time has not been modified, it must have been completed in the morning."
He paused, as if observing Zhou Yu's expression, and then continued: "On the same night, the top floor of Lunxing was struck by lightning."
