Chapter 432 Abnormal Sight

Chapter 432 Abnormal Sight

Sure enough, the ghost girl reappeared at the other end of the elevator. Her head had grown back, with an even weirder smile on her lips.

"Hehehe...you can't escape..."

The ghost's voice echoed in the elevator, as if coming from all directions. Xiao Jin felt dizzy, and the scene before his eyes began to distort.

"Is this... a mental attack?" Xiao Jin flipped her hand, took out a bottle of 'holy water', pulled out the cork and poured it directly into her mouth.

After drinking the 'holy water', Xiao Jin finally felt better.

Seeing that there was still one third of water left in the bottle, she suddenly became alert and turned her wrist, directly sprinkling the remaining "holy water" everywhere inside the elevator.

As Xiao Jin sprinkled the holy water, it was like a flexible silver thread, jumping in every inch of the elevator, followed by a series of strange "sizzling" sounds.

This was accompanied by a shrill scream from a female ghost.

Xiao Jin's eyes suddenly lit up: "It really works."

Without any hesitation, Xiao Jin took out another bottle of holy water from his backpack and repeated the previous action.

"what--"

Under the erosion of the holy water, the female ghost let out a shrill scream. At this moment, Xiao Jin saw the figure of the female ghost again through the reflective elevator door.

The opponent was distorted in the reflection, and his body began to collapse. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Jin quickly swung his long knife, and the blade passed through the reflection of the elevator door and hit the female ghost heavily.

This time it did not escape, but turned into a cloud of black smoke and completely dissipated in the elevator door...

'Buzz~'

As the female ghost disappeared, the lights in the elevator returned to normal and the temperature gradually rose.

Xiao Jin looked carefully and found that Xu Qing and the others had reappeared beside him. The only difference was that everyone's clothes were a little messy, and Zhan Wenchen was even a little embarrassed.

A corner of the lens on his face was broken. He grabbed the temple of the glasses and gently removed the lens, then put a new one on.

"Tsk~" It turned out to be a fake. Xu Qing's ridicule was late but came true.

It’s no wonder he said that, among the four people in the elevator, only Zhan Wenchen was injured.

Hearing this, Zhan Wenchen did not show any anger, but just smiled without saying anything.

Xiao Jin looked at Xu Qing and said, "There are still ten minutes left. Let's go to the general manager's office first."

Xu Qing didn't know, but Xiao Jin knew it clearly. Zhan Wenchen was not a fighter to begin with, and if he was pissed off, he would probably kill him.

The elevator door slowly opened, and the corridor on the 44th floor appeared in front of everyone.

The four of them walked out of the elevator and headed towards the general manager's office. The corridor was silent, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing in the empty space.

Xiao Jin's eyes swept across the walls on both sides of the corridor and suddenly noticed the decorative paintings hanging on the walls.

These decorative paintings all depict a certain person, but there is only a figure in the painting without any specific appearance.

The painting uses dark colors extensively. The figures are either sitting or standing, but without exception, they are all covered by large areas of black and gray.

"What's wrong?" Looking at the dazed Xiao Jin, Cui Mingyang couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm?" Xiao Jin was stunned for a moment, then quickly returned to his usual expression: "Nothing, I was just thinking about Nie Shuangshuang. Aren't they here yet?"

That’s right, it’s true that Xiao Jin and others were delayed in the elevator for nearly twenty minutes, but the four players who took the stairs did not reach the 4th floor.

Xiao Jin took a quick look and found that there was no one else upstairs except them!

Cui Mingyang frowned slightly: "Maybe something delayed him. It's only the first day, nothing will go wrong!"

That’s right! Xiao Jin nodded.

The first day of the dungeon is used for players to adapt, and the danger is not great, such as the several levels they encountered tonight.

Xiao Jin didn't take it seriously, and the crisis was resolved.

………………

Five minutes before four in the morning, Nie Shuangshuang and her three companions finally appeared in a panic at the end of the corridor on the 44th floor.

However, their appearance was much more tragic than that of Xiao Jin and others: Nie Shuangshuang's spear was broken into pieces, and there were still a few wisps of black mist hanging on the tip of the spear.

Wang Zhongyan's clothes were torn into strips, and his face was covered with long bloodstains. Xiao Bin's hair was disheveled and his face was as pale as paper.

Wang Bing was the most seriously injured. She lost an arm. The broken part was wrapped with blood-stained cloth and her face was frighteningly pale.

"What... happened to you?" Xu Qing raised his eyebrows, his tone was quite incredulous.

Although he had guessed early on that the stairs might be dangerous, he did not expect these people to be so miserable!

In fact, the elevator is open, which means that the game prefers players to take the elevator.

Xu Qing didn't believe that these people didn't think of it. They were stubborn and probably hoped to repeat their last success.

But they didn't think that the game might be prepared for this move?

Xu Qing could guess that if the combat power of the evil spirit they encountered in the elevator was 10, the one that Nie Shuangshuang and the others encountered was at least 40.

Nie Shuangshuang snorted coldly and pointed at Wang Bing: "It's all because of her!"

There was suppressed anger in her tone: "If she hadn't held me back and alerted the evil spirit, I wouldn't have broken a purple prop! And..."

When everyone saw the spear in her hand, they all understood why Nie Shuangshuang was furious.

This is the main weapon! Xiao Jin is very familiar with this item.

It’s only the first day, and Nie Shuangshuang, who has lost her main weapon, will have a hard time in the next dungeons.

Hearing Nie Shuangshuang's accusation, Wang Bing's face turned even paler, but she did not refute, but just bit her lower lip tightly.

Xiao Bin sneered at the side, his tone full of sarcasm: "Idiot teammates are idiot teammates. They almost killed all of us."

"What did you say?" Wang Bing raised his head suddenly, a trace of anger flashing in his eyes: "Aren't you just as useless? If I hadn't blocked it for you by accident, you would have been dead by now!"

Nie Shuangshuang said that he could do it, after all, the other party did lose a lot, but he was just that onion!

"You--" Xiao Bin's face turned pale in an instant, and he was about to lose his temper when he was interrupted by Zhan Wenchen.

"That's enough." Zhan Wenchen pushed his glasses up, his tone calm but unable to hide his impatience: "If you want to quarrel, find a time to quarrel. I don't care how loud you quarrel.

But now that tonight's work is not finished, I would like to ask you, are the documents in your hands complete?"

Hearing this, Wang Zhongyan nodded: "It's intact. We put the files away carefully when we went upstairs, and there was no damage."

"That's good." Zhan Wenchen breathed a sigh of relief. It was still reliable.

With this interruption, the two of them couldn't argue even if they wanted to!

Everyone calmed down and came to the office door. At this time, there were still two minutes to four o'clock. Xu Qing took out a mechanical spider from his pocket and gently placed it on the ground.

"Explore first." He whispered, his fingers moving quickly on his watch.

The mechanical spider quickly crawled through the crack in the door and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

However, a real-time picture appeared on Xu Qing's watch, showing the scene inside the office.

It was a spacious room with a huge desk in front and an exquisite rocking clock on it. There were several oil paintings hanging on the wall and everything seemed normal.

"Nothing unusual." Xu Qing said in a low voice, but as soon as he finished speaking, the picture suddenly became blurry and then completely black.

"What's going on?" Zhan Wenchen asked with a frown.

"The signal is broken." Xu Qing's face became serious, "All the mechanical spiders have lost contact."

At this moment, the clock pointed to four o'clock. The office door suddenly "clicked" and opened automatically.

"Don't think about it, just go in first." Cui Mingyang said in a low voice.

You can’t see anything from this perspective, and it’s even easier to trigger what’s inside!

At this moment, Xiao Jin stopped Zhan Wenchen who was about to step forward and said, "Let me do it!" Then he pushed the door open and walked in first.

Zhan Wenchen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.

Everyone followed Xiao Jin into the office and found that the lights in the room were on and the rocking clock on the desk was making a regular "ticking" sound.

"This is..." Her eyes swept across the pattern on the clock face, and she suddenly remembered the restaurant decoration in the horror park. Those twisted vines and weird smiling faces were exactly the same as the swinging clock in front of her.

"I see." She whispered, and suddenly understood. This company must be related to Horror Park, no wonder they invited me to join.

Everyone put the documents on the desk one by one. The whole process went very smoothly without any accidents. Just as they were about to leave with doubts in their hearts, Cui Mingyang suddenly stopped.

"Look...that mirror." He whispered, with a hint of doubt in his tone.

Xiao Jin followed his gaze and found that a huge mirror had appeared on the wall. The frame was carved with intricate patterns, but the mirror surface was extremely blurry, as if covered by a layer of fog.

"Just now... was there this mirror?" Xu Qing asked with a frown, obviously sensing something was wrong: "Okay, let's go." The more bizarre something is, the less you should delve into it.

Everyone left the office.

Cui Mingyang did not answer. His eyes were fixed on the mirror, as if attracted by something.

After a moment, the scene in the mirror became clearer in front of his eyes. A dark forest appeared on it. The trees were twisted like ghosts and the ground was covered with claw marks of wild beasts.

"Is this... a deserted island escape?" Cui Mingyang's voice trembled and his eyes were full of fear.

In the mirror, he saw himself surrounded by a group of wild beasts, their fangs and claws gleaming coldly in the moonlight. That was his deepest fear, the nightmare he least wanted to recall.

In the Deserted Island dungeon, Cui Mingyang failed to reach the safe house on time at night and was forced to hide in the dark from the wild beasts.

“No...don’t come over here!” Cui Mingyang took a step back suddenly, his face as pale as paper.

Run, run quickly, I want to get away from here quickly.

"Cui Mingyang!" Xiao Jin was the first to notice something unusual. She turned around quickly, only to find that Cui Mingyang's eyes were lifeless. He had already stepped out of the window and was about to jump down.

"Damn it!" Xiao Jin cursed, rushed over quickly, grabbed Cui Mingyang by the collar and pulled him back.

"Get out of here!" Cui Mingyang struggled frantically and even punched Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin had to increase his strength and pin him to the ground, while saying coldly: "Calm down! That's an illusion!"

"There's something wrong with the mirror!" Xu Qing reacted quickly, took out a silver badge from his pocket, and held it in front of himself. The badge emitted a faint light, isolating the illusion of the mirror.

"Break it!" Zhan Wenchen said in a low voice, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Xu Qing did not hesitate, and quickly took out a small mechanical device, aimed it at the mirror and pulled the trigger. A laser shot out, and the mirror shattered instantly, with fragments scattered all over the ground.

At the moment the mirror shattered, Cui Mingyang's struggle gradually stopped, and the fear in his eyes slowly dissipated. He was panting, his face still pale, but he had regained his sanity.

"Thank you..." He panted slightly, then stood up with Xiao Jin's hand.

Xiao Jin let him go: "Be careful next time."

Everyone left the office quickly without saying anything.

But they didn't notice that in the darkness of the office, a slender figure slowly emerged.

The man was wearing a well-tailored black suit, his feet on the broken lenses, his eyes coldly staring in the direction they left.

"The game... has just begun." The deep voice echoed in the empty office and then disappeared without a trace.

........................

The lights in the corridor were still dim. Xiao Jin walked at the end. His eyes swept across the walls on both sides of the corridor and he suddenly felt an inexplicable chill.

I always felt like...something was watching them just now.

Xiao Jin did not investigate rashly, but silently clenched his sword.

"Let's go back to the 33rd floor first." Zhan Wenchen pushed his glasses and spoke in a low voice, so only Xiao Jin, who was closest to him, could hear it.

Xiao Jin did not answer, and as expected, Zhan Wenchen also felt it.

After returning to the 33rd floor, everyone went back to their respective workstations. It was less than two hours before the end of the workday.

According to the employee code of conduct, night shift workers cannot leave their workstations on their own initiative unless they have any tasks to do.

Moreover, I don’t know what’s going on here.

It was a summer morning and some cities were bright early, but when Xiao Jin looked up, it was still pitch dark outside.

Everyone sat in front of the computer, doing their own things, but their hearts were still restless.

Nie Shuangshuang had already stuffed the damaged props into her backpack and lay back on a chair with her eyes closed. Xiao Bin and Wang Bing stared at each other.

Xu Qing took out a large metal box from somewhere, which was foldable. When he opened it, it was full of metal tools and parts.

Cui Mingyang was in a daze, as if he had not yet recovered from what had just happened.

"Who is that person...is he the so-called general manager of the company?" Xiao Jin murmured in a low voice, still bothered by the previous gaze.

"Wen Jin." Zhan Wenchen's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting her thoughts.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Jin raised his head.
