Chapter 429 The woman in red
When they got closer, they found that there was a sticky note on each person's workstation. Xiao Jin picked up her own and took a quick look at it.
Night shift staff work tasks:
1. Please go to the archive room on the 34th floor, find the file numbered "1414", and bring it back to your workstation.
2. The contents of the files need to be compiled into a report. At 4 a.m., employees are requested to submit the compiled report to the general manager's office on the 44th floor.
3. You are not allowed to leave the building during this period.
Xiao Jin's brows furrowed slightly.
The archive room on the 34th floor, the number "1414", 4 a.m.... these keywords obviously carry some ominous meaning. She looked up at the others and found that their expressions were also a little solemn.
Cui Mingyang spread out the note, Xiao Jin took a look and found that it was the same task, which was not bad as it saved trouble.
"It seems that this mission is not easy." Xu Qing said in a low voice, with a hint of vigilance in his tone.
"Stop talking nonsense and take action quickly." Xiao Bin yawned and said impatiently.
He had not slept in the dormitory before. He was not that sleepy in the daytime. But when it got dark, he could not stand it anymore.
Now Xiao Bin just wants it to be over quickly so he can go back to sleep.
The others simply ignored his words. Cui Mingyang walked to the window and looked down.
"Have you noticed that outside is just like inside the office building, there is no light at all."
Hearing his words, everyone walked over. Xiao Bin, who was standing aside, saw that he was being ignored, so he glared at Cui Mingyang fiercely from behind.
Several people walked to the window and looked down, and it was just as Cui Mingyang said.
Even in the middle of the night, such a busy area should be brightly lit. Not to mention the cars passing by, there must be at least one street lamp!
After all, the Central Trade Building is not located in a cornfield!
Xiao Jin frowned slightly. There was only one possibility. The space they were in now was not the normal world, but a new space that was opened up separately.
This also means that the building is extremely dangerous at the moment.
Without further investigation, time waits for no one, so they decided to get the file first. So the eight of them headed straight for the elevator.
However, when Zhan Wenchen pressed the elevator button, he found that the elevator did not respond, and the side showed that the elevator was stuck on the fourth floor underground.
"The elevator is broken?" Xu Qing said jokingly.
"Looks like we have to take the stairs." Zhan Wenchen didn't sound surprised. For them, taking the stairs was much better than the elevator.
"It's just one floor anyway, let's go!" Everyone nodded and quickly walked towards the stairwell.
The lighting in the stairwell was dim, and it seemed that the walls had been newly patched. As soon as one stepped in, a strong smell of construction materials filled everyone's nose.
Xiao Jin frowned subconsciously.
Such a big landmark, how come? The property management ran out of money when choosing materials! What kind of inferior paint is this?
Xu Qing was speechless at the moment. First there was the elevator and then there was the wall. How could such a shabby building be so shameless as to say "every inch of land is worth a lot of money"?
"We've arrived at the 34th floor." Zhan Wenchen whispered and pushed open the door of the stairwell.
To everyone's surprise, the players reached the 34th floor smoothly and did not encounter anything strange in the stairwell.
When everyone came up, they found that the entire floor was in darkness, with only a dim light on at the door of the archive room at the end of the corridor.
Under the light, the door of the archive room was half open, as if waiting for their arrival.
"Be careful." Xiao Jin reminded Xu Qing and the others in a low voice. The long sword "Shadow" had appeared in his hand without him noticing.
The others had the same expression, and even Xiao Bin didn't dare to be careless at this time.
They walked cautiously to the half-open door of the archive room, looked inside in the dim light, and found that it was filled with filing cabinets.
There was nothing else besides this. Seeing this, Nie Shuangshuang pushed all the doors open with his fists, and everyone entered one after another.
The filing cabinets were numbered from "1401" to "1499". The air was filled with the smell of old paper, mixed with a faint smell of decay.
"Number '1414'..." Zhan Wenchen muttered in a low voice, his eyes quickly scanning the filing cabinet.
"Here." Wang Bing suddenly said, pointing to a filing cabinet in the corner.
This was the first time she spoke tonight.
Xiao Jin walked over and found that there was indeed a number "1414" on the filing cabinet.
She reached out and opened the drawer, and inside was a thick file bag. Surprisingly, the file bag was covered with dust, as if no one had touched it for a long time.
"Got it." Xiao Jin took the file bag in his hand, but felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Was it a little too smooth? She didn't believe that the game was so kind!
Just as the thought emerged in her mind, as if to cater to Xiao Jin, the door of the archive room suddenly slammed shut.
Everyone turned around suddenly and found a woman in a red uniform standing at the door. Her face was pale, her eyes were empty, and there was a strange smile on the corner of her mouth.
The bright red suit looked like peeled human skin.
"The person in red..." Everyone's heart tightened and they quickly remembered the instructions in the work rules.
"Don't look at her, don't respond!" Zhan Wenchen reminded in a low voice.
Everyone quickly lowered their heads and pretended not to see the woman.
However, the woman slowly walked towards them, and her footsteps were particularly clear in the silent archive room.
"Have you registered? You have to register first to take the file." The woman's voice was low and hoarse: "Come on, write down your names."
Xiao Jin tightly grasped the file bag in her hand, secretly alert in her heart. She knew that once she responded, it would trigger the "rule-based weird" death mechanism.
The woman's footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally stopped in front of Xiao Jin. Xiao Jin could feel a cold breath coming towards her, as if something was approaching her face.
"Why don't you answer me?" The woman's voice sounded again, this time even more sinister.
Xiao Jinquan pretended not to hear and simply turned around, his eyes scanning the shelf in front of him as if he was looking for something.
In just a few seconds, the temperature around them became lower and lower, and the woman's voice became less and less human.
The others gritted their teeth and dared not say a word.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the woman's footsteps sounded again, and this time she slowly left the archive room. The door opened with a creak and closed with a bang.
"Let's go..." Zhan Wenchen let out a long sigh and said in a low voice.
Xiao Jin nodded, quickly put away the file bag, and led everyone out of the archive room.
