11th floor, President's Office.
"Ding." The elevator opened, and what appeared in front of Yan Yueming was a completely different scene from the one downstairs. In front of him was a long corridor covered with white tiles, and at the end of the corridor was another elevator.
If Yan Yueming guessed correctly, they would take the elevator on the west side and come up opposite to the elevator on the east side. The corridor is long and the two are far apart.
There was no one in the corridor, and it was eerily quiet.
The sound of breathing began to fall to the ground.
Shen Yinchuan and Li Ran looked at each other and were about to step out, but Yan Yueming raised his hand to stop them. He hesitated and said: "I was thinking, if you go and never come back, can it become a rule?"
"Can't we go back?" Li Ran thought slightly.
This seems to explain why no one who came to the 11th floor showed up again. He immediately pulled out the rope from the hood of his sweatshirt. The two ends of the rope were originally knotted for decoration. After untying the knot, the whole rope was about two meters long.
Gu Fei became interested, "Did you prepare this in advance?"
"Be prepared." Li Ran glanced around and finally handed the other end of the rope to Shen Yinchuan. He wrapped the other end around his hand and stepped out without saying hello.
"Safe." He acted boldly but his voice was very calm. Then he took two more steps forward until the rope was straightened. He did not look back, but tentatively kept his body facing forward and took half a step back.
Shen Yinchuan didn't move.
Li Ran retreated, but the rope was still stretched straight, which proved that he actually didn't retreat even half a step. He didn't feel like he was being targeted, so there was no foul, but he really couldn't go back.
Is there something wrong with the space, or has his perception been affected?
Li Ran calmed down, twisted his neck and looked back. When he saw Yan Yueming and the others at the elevator door, he shrugged and said, "It seems that the literal meaning of 'can't look back' is still not true."
Seeing that he was still in the mood to joke, Yan Yueming knew that he was fine. After sorting out his thoughts for a while, he walked out and said, "My senior taught me that when there is a problem in time and space, don't panic."
Gu Fei walked beside him and asked curiously: "Senior? Senior from Huayuan Road?"
The story that happened to Xiao Ming is no longer unusual, everyone in Shangfang City knows it. Yan Yueming nodded and explained seriously: "Don't rush to break or return to the original place. We ourselves are our own anchors. And in most cases, once we step out, it is more difficult to turn back than to move forward. , then just move forward.”
"Xiao Ming, you...are really reliable." Gu Fei suddenly sighed.
"Huh?" Yan Yueming was slightly startled.
Gu Fei didn't explain much, she smiled at Yan Yueming and continued walking forward. Yan Yueming was still a little stunned. At his level, he could be rated as reliable. Should he say that his hard work finally paid off, or should he be embarrassed?
No matter what, Yan Yueming was a little happy.
The four of them walked forward and soon found the first room.
The room was to their right, and the sign on the door read "Lounge." The door was closed, and the solid wood door had no gaps for people to peek through.
“The style here is really different from downstairs.
,
There are large pieces of glass downstairs.
The view is very clear, but nothing can be seen here. "Gu Fei said.
"Maybe this is the difference between a boss and an employee?" Li Ran said, knocking on the door, but no one answered.
Yan Yueming paid careful attention to the floor. The white tiles were wiped clean and the light shone brightly, leaving no traces. The door did not open, so they did not enter rashly, but chose to continue walking until they came to a crossroads and stopped.
This is the intersection of the two corridors.
"What a strange structure." Gu Fei looked back and saw that there was only the first door in such a long road.
Looking out in the south, north and east directions, there are only long straight corridors with neither paintings nor decorations. The most special thing is the north-south corridor, which seems to have no end at first glance.
"It's a mirror." Shen Yinchuan revealed the mystery.
At the end of this north-south corridor is a mirror wall. There are mirrors hidden in the corridor. The mirror reflects the corridor, so it seems that this corridor has no end.
Yan Yueming saw herself in the mirror, but didn't dare to look more and quickly looked away. He took out the telescope again and looked all the way from his feet to the ground, not missing any detail. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and pointed forward and said, "Look, there is something on the ground."
He was looking to the south, about fifty meters away, and there was a black button on the ground.
Gu Fei also imitated him and took out a telescope, but she was looking at the north, "There is also one here. There is a paper on the wall with a message on it. The signature is... 2?"
Zhang Jiaoyue!
Li Ran narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes shining brightly, "Then these buttons... I remember that Ying Jie wore a very fashionable dress with many buttons today."
Gu Fei: "Did they leave separately?"
One goes south and one goes north.
Yan Yueming looked straight ahead again, which was the east corridor.
There is nothing left in this corridor, but the pure white ceramic tiles seem to be mixed with some other colors. It passes by and is already very light.
Yan Yueming looked back and forth, and finally focused on the tile joint in the corner of the corridor, "Blood stains!"
Shen Yinchuan reacted immediately, "Cleaner?"
They once speculated that the reason why the cleaning car was dripping with blood was because the bloody area had just been cleaned. Where is this place? The answer seemed close at hand.
Moreover, the elevator on the east side happened to be the elevator that the two cleaners took. They cleaned up the blood on the ground outside the elevator on the 11th floor, and then entered the elevator and went downstairs. It seemed very reasonable.
Li Ran looked at the time and said, "Should we split up?"
Gu Fei: "Since we want to separate, we should do it more simply and divide it into three ways."
Yan Yueming was frightened by their boldness. If they walked in three ways, they would have to go through three corridors, and two people would have to act alone. The risk was too high.
Before Yan Yueming could express his worries, Gu Fei said: "Li Ran and I will each go one way, north and south, and you and Shen Yinchuan will go to the east. How about you and Shen Yinchuan go to the east? You two were originally in a team, and I think, The east side is probably the most dangerous."
Yan Yueming hurriedly said: "But there may be clues to the east for additional points."
Gu Fei smiled freely, "That's not necessarily true. Zhang Jiaoyue and Ying Jie are very powerful. They may have discovered something, so
That’s why I chose those two paths. "
Only then did Yan Yueming see,
She has two dimples when she smiles.
There is a hint of cuteness in his heroic spirit.
"Then it's settled." Li Ran said, tilting his head towards Gu Fei, "Which side do you choose?"
"Men are on the left and women are on the right." Gu Fei didn't show any humility to him.
Seeing that they had already discussed it, Yan Yueming stopped being pretentious, "Then let's meet at the front desk later? Continue ordering food there, and then have dinner together. If you miss the meal, then..."
Gu Fei: "We still have dry food in our backpacks, so it doesn't matter if we miss a dinner. If we miss it, why not go find Ma Renai? Let him be our contact point."
Li Ran: "Okay."
Yan Yueming: "Then it's settled, please pay attention to your safety."
Shen Yinchuan also nodded in greeting.
However, they did not split up immediately. Yan Yueming deliberately waited in place, waiting for Gu Fei, Li Ran and Shen Yinchuan to reach the end of the corridor and send back the news.
Gu Fei walked to the south and picked up the buttons on the ground.
Li Ran walked to the north, which was the corridor with the paper on the wall. He read the words on the paper aloud, "First, you can't turn back on the road here, you can only go forward. Second, please pay attention to your appearance in front of the mirror. Third, if you find that the person in the mirror is different from the real situation , is normal, bracket, for now.”
Three very clear messages, worthy of No. 2.
It was this third item that made Yan Yueming feel a little uncomfortable.
At the same time, Shen Yinchuan squatted down at the end of the corridor on the east side, carefully observed the blood stains in the cracks of the tiles, then raised his head and glanced to the left, then turned back and said, "This is the president's office."
Gu Fei followed closely, "This is the archives room."
Li Ran: "Secretary's Office."
Yan Yueming stood at the center of the intersection and could see three people at the same time. He found that if he took himself as the center and walked in four directions, then these rooms would be on his left.
The structure of the 11th floor is exactly like a "field" cut by a corridor, with one room occupying one grid.
Are these four rooms independent or connected? Is there any other door that can be accessed?
Yan Yueming had no clue for a while, and there were no new clues around him. It was getting late, so Li Ran and Gu Fei stopped waiting. After knocking on the door to no avail, they decided to go in directly.
"Click." The two pressed the door handle at the same time, and then made an OK gesture to Yan Yueming.
The action of opening the door is safe.
Yan Yueming nodded to them, and the two of them entered immediately, and Yan Yueming finally took steps to join Shen Yinchuan.
Shen Yinchuan is still studying the blood stains remaining in the seams of the tiles. This location is very close to the elevator and not far from the president's office, located between the two.
Yan Yueming looked at the closed door of the office, then looked at the elevator, and suddenly had a new question: "If I get up from the west elevator, go straight to here without looking back, and take the east elevator directly down Woolen cloth?"
Shen Yinchuan: "Theoretically it's feasible."
Yan Yueming: "But if I want to enter the elevator, I have to pass through the office door. If I can't turn back, I won't be able to enter the office... Wait, the elevator is going up, and someone is coming up."
Hearing this, Shen Yinchuan looked back at the elevator, stood up and stood next to Yan Yueming.
After about ten seconds, the elevator door opened, revealing two familiar faces, No. 6 Bu Xia and No. 99 Chen Yeye. Bu Xia walked out of the elevator generously, "It's you, I'm looking for you."
Yan Yueming: "Looking for us?"!
