Chapter 68 The third legend, elevator failure

Chapter 68 The first legend, elevator failure

After finishing the fruit feast, Bai Jie had an idea and injected two drops of mutant venom into the little snake.

The little guy was so happy.

The reason for doing this is that Bai Huahua is the first non-human creature to receive mutant venom, and Bai Jie wants to see what kind of changes she will have.

However, after the venom was given, except for the improvement of life, there seemed to be nothing special - neither inherited the spider's ability nor showed signs similar to spiders.

Bai Jie had to attribute the above situation to Bai Huahua's special physique.

Afterwards, Bai Jie did not keep the little snake overnight, and drove the satisfied little snake back to the pond.

This time, Bai Huahua was surprisingly obedient, humming and groaning, and left crookedly.

It was still night, and Bai Jie, who was too full, was not sleepy, so he simply walked out of the mountain to the campus.

......

"Thank you, uncle. I've been discharged from the hospital and returned to school. No abnormalities were found."

"Well, it's okay, uncle. I'll take good care of myself." Xia Qimeng said to the other end of the phone.

"But last night, those terrible noises...what happened?"

The girl's black pearl-like eyes turned around.

"What? Keep it secret? Oh, uncle, can you tell me?"

If classmates saw Xia Qimeng's tone, they would definitely think they saw a ghost.

The lady monitor who has always been quiet and elegant, actually acted like a spoiled child?

"What about the Secret Guard Bureau?"

Xia Qimeng suddenly covered her mouth and lowered her voice.

"Can the Secret Guard Bureau... handle these mysterious events?" After a moment, Xia Qimeng calmed down and asked calmly.

On the other end of the phone was her uncle, also a top figure in the Criminal Investigation Department—Director Xia, Xia Xiyang.

Xia Xiyang covered his mouth with his hands and lowered his voice: "The people in the Secret Service are called 'new humans' to put it nicely, and 'freaks' who look down on others to put it bluntly."

"But there is no doubt that there is nothing we can't handle. If there is, we will increase the number of personnel or cover it with fire..."

"New humans?"

Xia Qimeng asked suspiciously, "Does it mean that they..."

"Yes."

Xia Xiyang affirmed: "Most of them have undergone highly intelligent mechanized transformation and gene editing, so they have abilities that ordinary people can't imagine."

"I think Yong'an City will soon be too crowded. You should stay in school and be a 'home girl'. Don't go around and cause trouble for me!"

"Okay, okay."

Xia Qimeng looked helpless, "I'll go back to the dormitory to take a shower and sleep."

After a few polite greetings, Xia Qimeng hung up the phone and walked straight to the girls' dormitory building.

It was 11:30 pm now. There were few students on the campus roads, frightened by the recent disturbances.

Walking down the stairs, Xia Qimeng suddenly found that the dormitory manager's duty room was empty, and most of the lights in the lobby on the first floor were broken, making it dark and creepy.

Rubbing her arms, Xia Qimeng felt a little cold for no reason.

"It's really autumn, I have to prepare more clothes."

She walked into the elevator alone and pressed the 7th floor.

The elevator was running up, but at this moment, it suddenly stopped at the 6th floor.

Xia Qimeng thought someone was going to come in,

but when the elevator door opened... she didn't see anyone,

only the faintly flickering corridor lights were alternating between light and dark.

Xia Qimeng thought that the person who was going to take the elevator had gone back, so she wanted to close the door.

But,

the elevator seemed to have a malfunction, and the elevator door did not respond and remained open.

She felt a chill in her heart, and her fingers kept pressing the door-closing button.

The light of the door-closing button also flickered, but the door would not close.

"Huh?"

Xia Qimeng said suspiciously, then leaned out half of her body and looked at the corridor on the side of the door...

No one, empty.

Every door of the girls' dormitory was locked, and the same was true on the other side, with only dim lights flickering.

Maintaining this posture made Xia Qimeng feel a little stiff in her upper body, so she had to retract her body and stood in the elevator in a daze.

The air seemed to get colder.

She suddenly remembered a rumor she had seen in a campus forum before.

When taking the elevator alone or with a few people, it will stop for 10 seconds at the floor before the target floor, and the automatic door cannot be closed.

Even more frightening, sometimes there is a strange cat cry at the end of the corridor...

Then, the first campus legend of Xingchuan University emerged in her mind.

It is said that in the female dormitory building, every midnight, someone will come out of the dormitory, rummage through the trash cans in the corridor, and look for garbage to eat.

But every time someone went to find the girl who ate garbage, they found nothing.

Combined with the strange things that happened in the school recently, Xia Qimeng's body became even colder.

"Or, let's go to the corridor..."

Xia Qimeng thought so, anyway, there was only one floor left.

This decision relieved her tension a little.

So she walked into the corridor, and the familiar smell of female perfume in the air made her feel a little safe.

Because, at least it was a human smell, not like the strange smell of those mutant humans before.

"Huh..."

But she stopped after taking two steps and before she reached the stairs, because her brain was giving her a feeling that something was wrong.

But she didn't know what was wrong,

except that it was a little dark at the end and there were two rows of closed dormitory doors.

She wanted to control the muscles in her feet to lift up and take a step, but she couldn't do it no matter how hard she tried.

This instinct, or subconsciousness, was working,

preventing her from moving forward.

However, there was nothing in front of her?

"Hoohoo..."

Xia Qimeng heard her nervous breathing.

At this moment, Xia Qimeng hoped that one of the rows of dormitories would open the door, and a little girl would come out and tell her with a generous smile:

"The light here is broken, don't be afraid, my senior sister is here."

Then, take her to the stairs together.

But this "savior" did not show up.

She just stood there, in a dilemma.

Could it be that there was something that she could not see with her naked eyes, something that really existed in front of her?

"Forget it, let's try the elevator again... It should be out of order, maybe it has returned to normal."

Thinking of this, Xia Qimeng gave up the plan to go to the stairs and returned to the elevator smoothly.

Inexplicably, in the faulty elevator,

she actually felt like she was back in her comfort zone, and her tense emotions and muscles were relaxed.

Then, she started to press the elevator door closing button non-stop as if she was possessed by a demon...

"Squad Leader Xia... What's wrong with her?"

"Her face is so pale, her eyes are still red, and I have never seen her look so pitiful..."

Bai Jie saw Xia Qimeng's actions and felt puzzled.

In the past, squad leaders were all confident, elegant, and quiet beauties with intellectual temperament. I never thought that she would be so scared by a malfunctioning elevator and a dark corridor.

In fact, Xia Qimeng's intuition was correct.

At the end of the corridor, there was indeed something - it was a huge spider that had entered an invisible state and was hanging on the ceiling of the corridor.
