Lian Qiao’s arm was grabbed by him and his whole body shook suddenly, as if he had fallen from the clouds. His eyes also woke up from the trance.
Seeing this picture, RenDong felt flustered and out of breath. There was rustling around and the sound of hair approaching, but he didn’t care so much, he just held Lian Qiao’s arm tightly and in a trembling voice said: “What are you going to do? What are you going to do? You promised me…you promised me right?!”
Lian Qiao raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly: “What did I promise you?”
RenDong was stunned.
“You promised…” He suddenly couldn’t remember the specific content of Lian Qiao’s promise to him. A huge sense of panic surged in his heart and now not only his body but even his heart began to tremble.
Lian Qiao looked at him, as if he couldn’t bear him to be tortured again and leaned over to kiss his forehead. It was a comforting kiss. RenDong closed his eyes, raised his face slightly and received the kiss reverently and restlessly, as if receiving a miracle.
Lian Qiao smiled and said: “I promise you, I will never leave you. I will not abandon you, don’t be afraid.” Then he hugged him.
That was the answer that RenDong wanted most. Listening to the beating of Lian Qiao’s heart, RenDong’s heart finally settled down.
The terrible rustling noises around him became more and more dense. RenDong felt something approaching him from all directions and the air gradually smelled of blood. There is no doubt that danger is looming. His body couldn’t help shaking.
It was already nine fifty-five at this time. There were no exits up and down the stairs and the ghosts were gradually approaching. They have no way out.
No matter how many deaths you experience, the fear imprinted in the depths of your soul will never be erased. From the bottom of the stairs came a woman’s angry and mournful screams, and the scorched and curly hair climbed up bit by bit along the back of his feet.
The countless pairs of dead eyes on the ceiling did not blink and the pair of thighs on the stairs began to walk towards here in a twisted posture.
All the horror and resentment are slowly approaching.
Will they be killed by them in some cruel way? He no longer dares to think about it.
But—but at least, he was still with Lian Qiao.
RenDong leaned on Lian Qiao’s chest and a gentle kiss fell on the top of his hair.
He suddenly felt that this scene was very familiar.
At the same time, Lian Qiao softly said: “I’ll sing a song for you, okay?”
RenDong raised his head in a daze and met Lian Qiao’s gentle and smiling eyes. Those eyes stared at him quietly, with deep pupils, as if they wanted to say a thousand words.
RenDong couldn’t help but raise his hand, tremblingly caressing his eyes.

“You… are you…”
Lian Qiao raised the corners of his mouth and curled his eyebrows and eyes with a smile.
“Hush.” Lian Qiao raised a finger and pressed it against his lips. His eyes lingered on his lips obsessively, his voice was slightly hoarse, but he seemed to be holding back his sobs, “Actually, I know, you don’t like me like this.”
RenDong’s heart was shocked. He wanted to speak but felt something hard and cold against the back of his head.
“Next time, don’t let me turn bad again.”
That’s – a nail gun.
Lian Qiao was going to kill him?
Lian Qiao wanted to kill him!
RenDong’s pupils shrank suddenly and he couldn’t react for a while because of the huge shock. He froze on the spot, dumbfounded.
Why? Why?
These three words circled over and over in his mind. The brain is like a program caught in an endless loop, turning back and forth in that painful question, always unable to think.
Lian Qiao looked at him and the smile on the corner of his lips gradually showed a trace of bitterness.
“Don’t be afraid, it won’t hurt. It will be quick. I’ll be together with you.”
Then he lowered his head and kissed his lips.
……I’ll be together with you?
What does that…
Xu RenDong felt the softness on his lips and suddenly realized that his eyes were moist.
At this moment, the corner of his eye suddenly caught something. With a flash in his mind, he exerted all his strength and pushed Lian Qiao away!
“…!” Lian Qiao was caught off guard and pushed back two steps. He raised his head and his face full of surprise.
RenDong didn’t look at him, but turned his head to look aside, pointed to something and said, “Look! Is that Little Apple?”

Lian Qiao was startled and turned his head.
They saw the figure of a girl appearing on the stairs at some unknown time. The girl was covered in blood and her face was pale. A large gash was opened in the middle of the neck, and the muscles and blood vessels were hollowed out. Blood gushed from her neck like a fountain.
Who was this if not Little Apple?
Lian Qiao narrowed his eyes and his voice suddenly became cold: “Ignore her.”
“But…” RenDong frowned, “She seems to be showing us the way!”
Indeed, it was as RenDong said. Little Apple stood at the top of the stairs, waving at them. She looked very anxious and her lips moved constantly but she couldn’t make any sound. Seeing that the two didn’t respond, she seemed to want to walk down the stairs but just as she took a step, she screamed and backed away as if being stung by something.
Probably because of the blessed crowbar in RenDong’s hand.
RenDong glanced at the time, it was nine fifty-seven. A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in his heart. He took Lian Qiao’s hand and said, “She may be showing us the way out, let’s go with her!” Lian Qiao didn’t move but just squinted at the ghost, with the corner of his mouth hooked, saying mockingly: “How could she show us the way? Did you forget that I killed her?”
It was unknown who he was hurting by saying these words. RenDong gritted his teeth, and pulled him hard: “Don’t worry about it so much! Try it first and then talk!”
A look of loneliness flashed across Lian Qiao’s face but he didn’t resist anymore. He ran towards Little Apple with RenDong.
Little Apple had a look of joy on her face, then turned her head and went upstairs. The two followed Little Apple up the first floor and, as soon as they turned the corner of the stairs, they saw a big cross drawn with blood on the wall.
“Where is the exit?” RenDong asked.
Little Apple didn’t dare to get too close, so she could only nod from a distance.
RenDong took out a crowbar, aimed at the red fork and slammed it hard against the wall. However, when the crowbar hit the wall, it didn’t make a heavy blunt sound as it hit the concrete, but—
Clang! Clang!
The sound of glass shattering!
The two couldn’t help being shocked.
The ground floor of the office building has a glass door! Was this really the bottom?!
With the sound of glass falling to the ground, the surrounding scene began to shake. The infinite loop of stairs disappeared and the hair, eyes and stumps, like ink falling into a pond, swayed and faded, quickly faded and disappeared.
The gate of the office building appeared in front of the two of them.
The revolving glass door had been smashed and glass was scattered all over the place. Outside was the familiar night scene of the city center, with a moon hanging in the sky and the moonlight was falling coldly.

“Let’s go!” RenDong was overjoyed but, when he turned around, he saw Lian Qiao showing an disbelieving expression.
Lian Qiao stared blankly at the increasingly dim figure of Little Apple: “How is it possible?”
For a moment, countless complex emotions rushed into RenDong’s heart. RenDong smiled, held his hand tightly and said, “Because she likes you.”
Lian Qiao opened his eyes wide.
Little Apple’s blood-stained figure gradually faded away, gradually dissipating in the air like mist. Before disappearing, the bloody wound on her neck was still shocking.
But there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
Lian Qiao pursed his lips and looked away. He stopped talking and ran towards the middle of the road with RenDong.
One minute to ten o’clock at night. The parking lot was located opposite the office building. RenDong was hit by a large truck on the way to the parking lot after getting off work, which triggered the elevator.
At this time, the road is full of life in this world. The hard-working white-collar workers who just finished working overtime were laughing and discussing what to eat for supper, and the girls who came out to play with heavy makeup talked and laughed loudly, and the accessories on their bodies made ding-ding-dong-dong noises. The old man led the dog and walked slowly on the sidewalk. In the convenience store opposite, the storekeeper was yawning.
The traffic light just happened to flash green. The two walked to the middle of the road and stood still. Other passers-by crossing the road passed them, casting surprised looks at them one after another.
Xu RenDong’s heart beat wildly. The roar of truck engines could already be heard from the street in the distance.
“It’s coming!” His palms were covered with cold sweat and he subconsciously grabbed Lian Qiao’s hand.
Lian Qiao was silent, just staring at the corner of the street quietly.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, a large truck rushed out from the corner of the street. The roar of the engine was loud and it could be seen through the windshield that there was a young man in blue in the cab, turning the steering wheel in panic. It was likely that there was something wrong with the truck.
The truck was loaded with a lot of goods and, because of the sharp turn, the goods collided with each other in the compartment, making a loud bang.
Seeing such a huge vehicle rushing towards him at high speed, RenDong had a strong urge to dodge. Fortunately, Lian Qiao was by his side, giving him endless courage. He bit his lip and held his breath for the final moment.
The time seems to be stretched infinitely. Although it is only a few seconds, it makes people feel as if ten thousand years have passed.
RenDong tensed up all over and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
—Will the elevator really appear?
If the elevator didn’t show up, will they die? That’s okay, I can do it all over again.

But even if the elevator appears, what about the button?
There’s no time to think too much, first let’s determine the conditions for the elevator to appear. Anyway… no matter how bad it is, he can always start over.
Everything can be made up. As long as you can do it all over again, everything can be restored.
Just when RenDong was thinking wildly, he suddenly felt that Lian Qiao broke free from his hand and stuffed a slender and hard thing into his hand. RenDong was startled, turned his head and saw that Lian Qiao was smiling at him but the curved smiling eyes were filled with tears. It was clear and bright, as if it was about to cry in the next second.
In an instant, that irritating sense of panic once again filled RenDong’s heart. But this time, before he had time to ask, the truck had already rushed in front of him.
The headlights made his eyes hurt. He instinctively raised his hand to cover his eyes. Screeching brakes erupted from the wheels of the truck,and screams erupted from the surrounding crowd.
Time was stretched infinitely—stretching—
And then, finally, stood still.
All the sounds are gone. The whole world is left with only his own breathing and heartbeat.
RenDong panted and opened his eyes. He saw that extremely familiar thing.
The elevator!
The silver-white metal elevator stands quietly in the middle of the road. The metal body reflects the cold moonlight and it looked so out of place with everything around it.
Yet so exhilarating.
“It finally appeared!” RenDong’s voice was trembling with excitement.
But when he turned his head to look at Lian Qiao, his whole body stood there in a daze as if he had been split by lightning.
Lian Qiao still kept smiling at him, turning a blind eye to the elevator that was so close. His eyes were filled with tears, which were about to fall from their sockets in the next second-
But he didn’t move.
RenDong began to tremble uncontrollably. He raised his hand, wanting to touch Lian Qiao’s face. But the outstretched hand bumped into something in mid-air and there was a soft sound.
Bang.
It’s the air wall.
