How to Easily Capture a Long Aotian [Quick Transmigration] 53

Chapter 53: The Human-Shaped Cataclysm Defuser (Part 6)

The atmosphere in the elevator was very strange.

As the number one high-end establishment in Jiangcheng, the elevators at the Lijin Hotel were luxurious and spacious.

It was said that the owner had introduced the most advanced German technology when it was built. The elevator operated without any noise, and was dedicated to giving customers the best experience.

But sometimes, being too quiet was not a good thing. Shu Yu and Cheng Lang looked at White Bird, who had a murderous look on his face and had cornered Liu Ming, and was ready to press him to death at any time. They were so nervous that they were about to sweat.

They were responsible for monitoring White Bird’s movements. The team leader had meant that if this thing really fell in love with a human and remained friendly to humans, it might not be impossible to seek coexistence.

The premise was that he had to be restrained.

If White Bird went on a killing spree here, all their painstaking efforts would be in vain.

Yu Lin had settled Teacher Gao down. He turned his head and saw Yu Zhao with a cold face, looking like he was about to hit someone.

“…” He was no longer the same person who had hurriedly apologized when he had first seen Yu Zhao slap the driver.

Yu Lin pressed his lips together and said softly, “Don’t hit people here.” There are still surveillance cameras.

Although he also disliked Liu Ming, he couldn’t let Yu Zhao leave any evidence of violence in the elevator.

Hearing this, Yu Zhao was stunned for a moment, stood up straight, and leaned against the elevator without a word. He didn’t smile either, and his face was gloomy.

Cheng Lang and Shu Yu were trembling against the elevator.

The person he was raising was not happy. Yu Lin walked over to coax him, pinched his ear, and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”

Yu Zhao’s long and thick eyelashes fluttered, and he still couldn’t bear to ignore him. He secretly ground his teeth. “Wife, didn’t you notice? He’s trying to steal you from me!”

“…” So smart at this time. Yu Lin was silent.

He looked up at Liu Ming, who was hiding in a corner and looking over with surprise and uncertainty. He had to explain, “I’m sorry, class monitor. This is my partner. He was rude to you just now.”

Yu Lin never shied away from the fact that he had a psycho partner. When he had made his choice, he had accepted everything about Yu Zhao.

He said, “If you need compensation, you can contact me later.” Don’t cause trouble for the little psycho.

Liu Ming’s face was a picture of devastation.

Yu Zhao was leaning against the elevator, his long legs slightly bent. He glanced at Liu Ming, whose world was collapsing, and then at the hand that was being held by his wife. He was happy, and he let out a sudden laugh.

Shu Yu and Cheng Lang shivered when they heard it.

As they were talking, the elevator, which had been steadily ascending, stopped with a thud, and made an abnormal sound. In the end, it stopped at the 16.5th floor.

Urban legend had it that if an elevator stopped at a half-floor, there must be something strange.

“…”

In a crackling sound, the current in the elevator flashed, and the white lights flickered. In the end, it couldn’t hold on and exploded with a “hiss.”

“…” Shu Yu and Cheng Lang were quick-witted. They stepped behind Yu Zhao and also brought along the clueless Teacher Gao.

The stopped elevator suddenly shook and swayed abnormally in mid-air. The button lights flashed one after another, constantly flashing from 1 to 28, and slowly stopped at 16.5, and then suddenly pointed to 17.

As if it were hesitating, the button lights flashed several times before it cautiously stopped at 16.5.

With a “thud,” a heavy landing sound, the elevator doors opened, but it was not to a clean and bright hotel corridor, but to a dilapidated and dim apartment building.

In the elevator, Yu Lin was a little surprised. The hand holding Yu Zhao’s unconsciously tightened. Yu Zhao stared at the fingers that were being held by his wife without blinking, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. Behind them, Shu Yu and Cheng Lang were protecting Teacher Gao, as quiet as chickens.

Liu Ming had already pissed his pants.

“We are members of the Special Incident Investigation Bureau, the Human-shaped Disaster Special Investigation Team. This is our identification.”

Shu Yu’s expression was gentle. In the flickering light of the elevator, she held the arm of Teacher Gao, who was trying to calm down, and took out her work ID from her pocket to explain to everyone.

In the dim light, she comforted her softly, “Don’t be afraid. Please follow me at all times in a moment.”

She would definitely take the old lady and follow the bigshot without stopping!

In front, Yu Lin, who had heard the conversation, turned his head and looked over in surprise.

Cheng Lang, who was huddled on the side, looked at him and only then remembered that there was still an uninformed and crucial person here.

Cheng Lang glanced at White Bird, who had a nonchalant expression, and judged that this place was not very dangerous. He just wasn’t sure if this guy was willing to expose his identity in front of Yu Lin.

After a moment of thought, Cheng Lang said cautiously, “Brother Lin, I forgot to tell you. Shu Yu and I have passed the exam. The benefits at our unit are not bad, and the success rate is also high. I have some review materials here. If you don’t want to do design anymore, you can come and take the exam.”

Yu Lin: “?”

Cheng Lang chuckled.

The atmosphere seemed to be quite relaxed, but in fact, no one in the elevator had dared to move first.

He glanced at the dilapidated apartment, which was emitting a bizarre aura. In the midst of the dust and the smell of blood, Cheng Lang swallowed and, worried that Yu Lin would be scared without any warning in a moment, he explained in a low voice, “The recent discussions about the cataclysm are true.”

Supernatural phenomena were frequently occurring in the world, and the investigation team had only been established for a short time. They had not yet completely sorted out the various forms of disasters.

The most common among them were natural cataclysms. After all, the climate was the most directly affected.

But the action team was constantly monitoring the forums and had found that in recent days, the number of posts about urban legends had also increased.

These abnormal events, which were closer to urban legends, had little to do with the weather, and were more like man-made. They were currently defined as human mutations.

But what exactly they were, and what was the difference between them and the cataclysm, the investigation team had not yet reached a clear conclusion.

However, Cheng Lang had watched many movies and had a rich theoretical knowledge of all kinds of situations. Seeing the apartment that was reeking of blood, he guessed, “Should we go in and take a look?”

The other people in the elevator: “…”

That being said, is this right?

But to get out, they had to go into this apartment. In the end, it was Cheng Lang who had made the suggestion who led the way. Besides that, Liu Ming was also unusually active.

The apartment had not been visited for a long time, and the lightbulbs were all broken. There was only one at the end, which was flickering.

But it also seemed that someone was living here. Two sturdy black trash bags were placed at the entrance of 4105 and 4117. The bags were tied tightly, as if they were afraid of something leaking out.

Liu Ming walked in. He was clearly very scared, and his legs were trembling, but he was also extremely fanatical. He leaned closer, and his eyes swept over every door without blinking.

His attitude was so bizarre that besides the old lady who was not feeling well and had closed her eyes to refuse to watch, everyone else felt that something was wrong.

In the end, when he got close to 4105, and the tip of his nose was getting closer and closer to the trash bag at the door, and he was trying to reach out and touch it, Yu Lin reminded him, “Class monitor.”

“What?” Liu Ming’s eyes were red, and he turned his head in a daze, looking dazed.

Yu Lin looked at him and reminded him with his lips pressed together, “Don’t touch these things for now.” It would be bad if it triggered something.

There were many of them, and it was not convenient to run.

But Liu Ming did not listen to him and muttered neurotically, “Superpowers, superpowers. What do you know… when I have superpowers…” As he spoke, he was about to open the trash bag.

The trash bag was very close to the door, so close that there was only a little distance. A few strands of hair were scattered on the bag.

Liu Ming wanted to open the tightly tied trash bag, and his head was almost against the door.

Yu Lin had a bad feeling and reached out to stop him.

Yu Zhao had originally not cared about the things in here and was just immersed in the intertwining of his and his wife’s fingers.

Seeing that Yu Lin was about to go over, he frowned, glanced at the closed 4105, turned his head back, and kicked the neurotic Liu Ming out. “Didn’t you hear me when I told you not to touch it?”

He didn’t hold back much, and Liu Ming was kicked from 4105 to the wall of 4107. With a loud thud, he fell silent.

At the same time, the crack in the door of 4105 opened, and someone inside threw down a blood-stained knife, right in Liu Ming’s direction.

“…” Yu Zhao turned his head and saw, and after a moment of silence, he let out a light “tsk” of regret.

He didn’t know that the little thing inside wanted to do this.

The next second, as if startled by this sound, the bloody knife was quickly retracted, and then the thing behind the door also disappeared.

“…” Yu Zhao continued to regret.

“…” The others could not come to their senses for a long time.

As if woken up by the things outside, the resident of 4117 finally woke up. First, there was a dragging sound, and then the door was twisted open, and the person inside pushed the door open to look out.

It was a big and burly man with a fierce look on his face, and he was holding a dog in his hand.

He pushed the door open, his face unhappy, and his cursing voice echoed in the corridor. “Damn it, who’s disturbing my sleep… uh…”

He looked up and met Yu Zhao’s gaze. Yu Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, and his face stiffened. Then he squeezed out a smile. “Hello. Oh, a new neighbor?”

The apartment corridor was empty and quiet, and it was dark. There were dark stains on the ground, which looked like bloodstains. He was completely unaware and just felt that it was normal.

“Hello.” Shu Yu and Cheng Lang walked up. In the process of some disasters forming, they might be affected by the aura and develop their own consciousness, and they might not even know that they are disasters.

The man looked like this was the case. As the only breakthrough, Cheng Lang made up an identity for himself and went up to chat. “Hello. We’re new here. We were thinking of paying a visit.”

Hearing this, the man looked at them with suspicion. “Someone is also living in the Xin’an Apartment?”

“…” Didn’t you ask if we were new neighbors?

But the Xin’an Apartment, it sounded a little familiar. Just as Cheng Lang was about to ask again, he was suddenly hit on the arm by Shu Yu.

The tacit understanding of a partner made him shut up. The man saw that they were strange and did not intend to say more. When he was closing the door, he reminded them, “Hurry back. It’s almost ten o’clock. Don’t come out.”

It was seven o’clock when they had entered the elevator. When they looked at their watches, it was already nine o’clock without them realizing.

The other party had reminded them not to come out at ten o’clock. Could something happen at ten o’clock?

As he was thinking, Teacher Gao, who had been trying to calm down on the side, suddenly let out a light “eh.”

She said, “Why is there a child over there?”

Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, she pointed to 4130 in front.

Teacher Gao had been a teacher for more than thirty years, and she had spent most of her time in the classroom. The students were like her children.

The others followed her words and looked, but they only saw the dim lights of the corridor. They told her, but she insisted, “There was a student just now, in a school uniform, standing right there.”

With her words, the empty corridor suddenly became cold.

Time passed by, and Liu Ming was leaning against the wall as if he were dead, occasionally letting out a whimper.

The others were quietly waiting for ten o’clock to arrive.

Time passed very slowly. The old lady was protected in the middle, and Shu Yu and Cheng Lang were holding an instrument and whispering something.

Yu Lin was leaning against the cold wall. He looked calm, but in fact, his worldview had already collapsed.

He held Yu Zhao’s hand tightly and then let go, and then he held it tightly again, and asked with confusion, “Is this world real?”

Being held by his wife all the time, his heart was flying, and the corners of his lips were curled up. The human-shaped cataclysm, whose identity was on the verge of being exposed, “En, en.”

Seeing that Yu Lin was afraid of them, Yu Zhao was stunned for a moment and stopped smiling. After a while, he asked cautiously, “Wife, isn’t it cute?”

He thought that the dog-man just now was quite cute.

Yu Lin looked at him silently and did not answer. “…”

After all, he did not have the little psycho’s train of thought.

Yu Zhao was stunned for a moment, his eyelashes lifted, and he looked at him, and he opened his mouth, but he didn’t know what to say.

After a while, he suddenly stood up straight, came over and held Yu Lin, and comforted him, “If it’s not cute, we won’t have it. It’s fine, wife. I’ll protect you. I’m here.”

In a strange and low atmosphere, ten o’clock arrived as scheduled.

A strange walking sound was heard in the apartment corridor, and then it began to change. The lightbulbs flickered, and a few blurry figures appeared, just like the people who had originally lived here.

The figures gradually solidified, and they began to reenact the tragic case that had happened here once again.

A girl was in a school uniform, with a schoolbag on her back. She was coming back from tutoring. When she was opening the door, she was suddenly choked by a shadow from behind and was dragged into the door.

She struggled and screamed, and her voice was tragic.

Everyone was too late to react. Teacher Gao was stunned for a moment, and the old lady almost rushed up to help, and she tried to break the strong arm. “Let go of her! You let go of her!”

While trying to break it, she also hit the other party. The others were stunned for a moment and quickly went up to help.

But this was just something that had happened here before. After ten o’clock, everything disappeared, as if it had never happened.

Only the girl who had been rescued by the crowd was faintly visible, and she was sitting quietly on the doorframe. She had her head down, and her features were unclear. When she disappeared, she seemed to have gently leaned on the old lady’s shoulder.

Everything had dispersed, and the Xin’an Apartment had returned to its original state. Only the solid walls had begun to grow a little faint.

Cheng Lang’s face was pale, and he was panting heavily as he sat on the ground, and he muttered, “Wait, I remember. The Xin’an Apartment, I saw it in the news when I was a child. A major tragic case had happened…”

Hearing this, Shu Yu paused slightly, and she looked at him and nodded. “I’ve heard of it too.”

The Lijin Hotel had been demolished and rebuilt on the site of the Xin’an Apartment.

“I’ve also heard of this.” Yu Lin had just gone to snatch the knife from the gangster’s hand, and Yu Zhao had been so scared that he had almost flown up.

He had hurriedly kicked those things away, and at this moment, he was staring at the apartment building with an unhappy expression.

Yu Lin’s fingers were held in his hand. He was leaning against the wall and panting lightly, and he said with his lips pressed together, “At that time, the news was on every day. The Xin’an Apartment was about to be demolished, and many of the residents had moved out. It just so happened that no one was there that day. The one who saved her was a dog.”

Cheng Lang was stunned. “A dog… don’t say it. It seems to be the case. It is said that a dog came out to save her and frantically bit the gangster, but it was killed together… then?”

“Then where’s the dog?”

“Are you talking about me?” The door of 4117 opened, and a man with a fierce look on his face came out, scratching his head.

In the light of the late night, his head kept flickering in and out of focus, and it was constantly changing between a human head and a dog’s head.

He scratched his head, but he was smiling. “I didn’t expect it to be like this. She said that she had been saved and was willing to leave this place. Then I have to go too. I’ll see you out.”

“Thank you.” he finally said.

A clear sound of a dog barking was heard in the apartment building late at night.
