Tang Ning immediately rushed to the elevator button and desperately pressed the door closing button.
The elevator door was half closed and half open, then half open, as if there was something wrong. Tang Ning pressed the buttons more and more frequently, looking at the elevator door in panic as he pressed them.
A chilly aura spread from every corner of the elevator, like a gust of cold wind blowing. The hair on the woman's face was blown by the strange wind, revealing a face that looked exactly like Tang Ning's!
It had disheveled hair and pale skin. Tangning thought it was a girl, but its voice was indeed feminine.
A familiar chill enveloped his left hand and left chest, and Tang Ning instantly thought of the red-clothed ghost he encountered on his first day in the dungeon.
What on earth is going on? !
Tang Ning covered his throat with difficulty, trying to force himself to sing like the Little Mermaid. However, his throat was severely injured, and he had difficulty even speaking, let alone singing.
"Give me the ring!" the thing standing in front of the elevator door said coldly.
Tang Ning's first reaction was to refuse. The ring could never be given to this thing. He still remembered that before he put on the ring, the ghost wanted to strangle him to death. But after he put on the ring, although the ghost chased him all the way, it not only scared him constantly, but also actually hurt him. The ring must have a protective effect.
The thing blocking the elevator door seemed to have seen through Tang Ning's thoughts. It sneered contemptuously and suddenly took a step back. Unable to block it, the elevator door slowly closed.
Tang Ning couldn't believe that this thing could be so kind. A strong sense of crisis surged in his heart. Tang Ning heard a strange beeping sound coming from the elevator button. He saw that the buttons from the first floor to the third floor of the elevator were all pressed. Each button emitted a strange light and the floor number displayed kept changing.
The feeling of weightlessness swept over Tang Ning's whole body. Tang Ning could not stand steadily and knelt directly on the elevator. He struggled to stand up with the help of the handrail, stumbled to the button and pressed the emergency button!
The number on the elevator was still jumping wildly. Tangning saw that the number suddenly rose to 33, and then dropped sharply the next second.
"30"
"twenty two"
"15"
"4"
"Take off the ring! Take off the ring!!!" The cold voice echoed in the small elevator, and the rapidly decreasing discomfort made Tangning almost vomit.
News of countless passengers being killed due to elevator malfunctions emerged in Tang Ning's mind.
Tang Ning tightly grasped the handrail and saw a long-headed figure appear in the reflection of the elevator. Sinister eyes stared at Tang Ning from all directions, and they all urged Tang Ning to take off the ring.
"1"
The number on the elevator jumped to the first floor. The elevator, which was descending at an alarming speed, suddenly stopped. Tang Ning's whole body shook and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his palms.
Is it over
As Tang Ning stared in shock, the elevator suddenly became pitch black. All lights went out, but the screen showing the floor number emitted a faint green light.
"-1"
"-2"
"-3"
"-4"
The elevator moved down to the fourth floor below ground, a ding sound was heard, and the door slowly opened.
But Tangning hesitated to move. He suddenly realized a chilling question -
Is this building on the fourth floor below ground
A strange noise came from the building, as if something was talking. There was more than one voice, many voices.
The elevator was also lit up with a cold green light. Tangning saw her own blurry reflection on the reflective surface of the elevator. The man in the reflection was dressed in red and stretched out his hand towards her.
Despite the words, Tangning knew that the other party wanted the ring.
The faint voices outside became clearer and clearer, as if something was walking towards them. Tang Ning pressed the door close button with trembling hands, but the elevator did not respond!
The reflection in the elevator should have been blurry, with people only able to see rough blocks of color at most. However, under the dim green light, Tangning could see every detail of herself in red, her strange and cold smile, her pale hand, which was shaking constantly, asking for the ring from Tangning.
Everything he had just experienced was caused by this thing. The other party's intentions were not concealed at all. Tang Ning raised his hand with the ring on it tremblingly.
The dazzling diamond ring was still beautiful and dazzling under the green light, firmly placed on Tang Ning's middle finger. It is said that wearing a ring on the middle finger means keeping your partner in your heart.
The red-clothed ghost was visibly excited when he saw Tang Ning was finally willing to show him the ring.
Tang Ning's raised left hand kept shaking, and he raised his middle finger to the red-clothed ghost in front of him.
The red-clothed ghost's expression froze at first, and then its face suddenly twisted and it let out a hysterical roar.
Tang Ning was so frightened that he let the other party roar. He would not hand over the ring no matter what. He would die if he handed it over anyway. If he didn't hand it over, he might still have a chance of survival.
The elevator was getting colder and colder, as if the air conditioner was on. The voice on the other end was getting clearer and clearer, and it sounded strangely familiar. It seemed to be
"Tangning."
Tangning's entire body trembled. This was Lin Yun's voice!
"Tangning."
It's a calling.
Tang Ning's heart was beating wildly and his mind was blank. Hearing the familiar voice calling him, Tang Ning raised his head with difficulty and slowly looked at the person standing in front of the elevator door.
Lin Yun stood straight in front of the elevator. Both his voice and face were the same Lin Yun that Tang Ning knew. However, under the dim green light of the elevator, his face looked pale and scary.
Is this the ghost that looks like Lin Yunzhe
"Tang Ning, let's go. The university is waiting for you." Gui Linyun slowly waved at Tang Ning.
Tangning took a step back and stood in the elevator, refusing to leave.
Gui Linyun was still standing in front of the elevator door, with no intention of urging Tang Ning to hurry up. He didn't even step into the elevator.
There was a strange crackling sound, like the sound of a chainsaw cutting metal.
Where does that sound come from
Tang Ning felt a chill under his feet, as if some cold air was rising up. Tang Ning suddenly lowered his head and saw a pale hand suddenly jumped up from the bottom of the elevator, cutting the steel plate where Tang Ning was standing at lightning speed!
This time, there was no need for Gui Linyun to urge him. Tang Ning ran out of the elevator in an instant. The moment he went out, the steel plate was cut into a complete circle and fell down with a bang.
Tang Ning watched this scene with sweat all over his forehead, and his legs felt weak.
"Tang Ning, come to work." Gui Linyun ignored the broken elevator and continued to wave at Tang Ning.
Tang Ning looked at the hand that was lightly raised towards him, like a weightless paper man waving at him.
Gui Linyun's call followed the wave of his hand, "Come on~"
Tang Ning had goose bumps all over his body and didn't want to go over there at all. However, he heard a strange crackling sound behind him, as if the thing that had just cut off the elevator was crawling out.
Instantly a chill ran up his spine. Tang Ning didn't even dare to turn his head. He followed Gui Linyun with his body stiff.
Boom, boom, boom.
There were dull footsteps. In addition to Gui Linyun and Tang Ning, there was a third set of footsteps behind them.
That thing is coming!!!
Tang Ning even held his breath as he stared at the back of Gui Linyun's head. The guy was walking with his back to him. It was completely possible for him to run away now, but there was a scary thing following him!
Tangning didn't know whether to turn around or not. His neck was tense and his heartbeat seemed to be louder than his footsteps. The huge pressure made Tangning unable to help but touch the diamond ring on his hand. At this time, his only sense of security came from this small ring.
At this moment, a pale hand slowly stretched out from behind Tang Ning and grabbed Tang Ning's left hand wearing a ring.
It seemed to have captured Tang Ning's heart as well.
Tang Ning's thoughts stopped at this moment.
His fragile, precarious, and only remaining sense of security was completely shattered at that moment. His heart could not bear the huge fear and seemed to be about to explode instantly. If it weren't for the damage to his throat, Tang Ning would have almost screamed at a high decibel!
how so?!
Aren't those things afraid of this ring? !
Tang Ning was shaking with overwhelming fear. He tried to pull his hand away, but the other party held it tightly. Compared with the strength of this thing, Tang Ning was as weak as an ant trying to shake a tree.
Gui Linyun stopped and took a look at the thing behind Tang Ning. There was deep fear in his eyes, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.
It’s hard to imagine what kind of thing even ghosts are afraid of.
Tang Ning was shaking violently, and he took the initiative to reach out his other hand towards Gui Linyun, hoping that this guy would continue to take him to work.
However, this time, the ghost Lin Yun did not wave, but made a move that was very consistent with the real Lin Yun—
It ran away.
Tang Ning: “”
A pale hand stretched out from behind Tang Ning, and both hands wrapped around Tang Ning's waist, in a hug from behind.
Tears slid down his face and Tang Ning's tongue unconsciously extended a little, tasting his own salty tears. He heard the sound of his teeth chattering and his own whimpering in extreme fear.
He spoke in a low voice, because his throat was damaged and he couldn't make much sound.
The tall thing hugged him.
Lift your toes off the ground.
Tang Ning suddenly felt like a little bear being held by someone. The overwhelming fear made Tang Ning's hands and feet weak, and he raised his head to take a look.
Dull footsteps echoed in the dead silent corridor as that thing walked towards them, carrying Tang Ning. The dark corridor was surrounded by ominous green lights. Tang Ning's toes kept trembling, and her plump toes hidden in her shoes curled up into a ball, at a loss. Her pretty face was already wet with tears.
What on earth is this
He was carried to the stairs, and every time he went up the stairs, the tears hanging on his chin would fall with a click.
“Boom.”
“Boom.”
"Boom!"
The depressing and dull sound of footsteps almost made Tang Ning unable to breathe. Every step seemed to step on his heart, and panic spread in his heart. After an unknown amount of time, Tang Ning suddenly realized a problem.
He had walked this staircase before. Each floor only had a few to twenty steps, so it wouldn't take long to walk up.
But now they didn't know how long they had been walking on this staircase, and it seemed like the staircase would never end.
Where on earth is this place
Is it hell
If Tang Ning was alone, he would definitely be driven crazy by the endless staircase, but at this moment, he was held by a terrifying thing. Perhaps he was too frightened, so Tang Ning temporarily lost the ability to receive information from the world. He was held in a daze, as if he had turned into a dodder flower entwined with a towering ancient tree. In the cold night, he only needed to struggle to the death with the existence he relied on.
Absurd and bizarre imaginations popped up in Tang Ning's mind.
Tangning felt the bumps in her throat, not knowing how many flights of stairs she had climbed. She finally heard a sound other than footsteps.
"Tangning! Tangning!!!"
"Oh my, what happened to him? Why did he suddenly faint here?"
"Ms. Gao, there's no need to call an ambulance. Just help me call Geng Xi!"
"Hurry up, Tangning!"
""
Chaotic and noisy voices kept coming from above, Lin Yun's voice, Chen Yan's voice, and Sister Gao's voice. Their voices merged together and were very noisy, but perhaps the world is meant to be noisy like this, which is why it is so lively and full of vitality.
Tang Ning saw a group of people gathered in a corridor not far ahead. They all had anxious expressions on their faces and kept calling out the same name. In the center of the crowd stood a slender figure.
The young man tilted his head, lying carelessly on the dusty ground as if he was asleep. His skin was snow-white, and transparent tears flowed from his tightly closed eyes. His face, covered with winding tears, was filled with weakness that seemed like it would break if he was not careful.
That was Tangning's own body.
Tangning's mind went blank. Before he could react to what had happened, the thing that had been holding him carefully put him down. While Tangning stood there in a daze, the person reached out and gently pushed Tangning's back.
"Go quickly."
A gentle and low voice.
It’s Gengxi’s voice.
