Walking through the lobby, Li Chengyi reached out and pressed the elevator button, but there was no response.
He sighed softly.
A black light flashed, flickering up layer by layer,
The first layer, empty and deserted, with overturned and broken desks, chairs, and computers everywhere.
The second layer, covered with some unknown black dust, as if a fire had occurred.
The third layer...
The fourth layer...
Finally, on the twelfth layer, he found a server that seemed to still have a faint signal.
The white rectangular server was covered with various ferocious claw marks, as if it had endured unimaginable attacks and damage.
Standing in the empty server maintenance room, Li Chengyi gently patted the chassis.
"Rose?"
He spoke out.
Silence.
No response.
A flicker of disappointment passed through Li Chengyi's eyes as he turned to check other areas.
Click...
Just then, a faint crackling noise came from the chassis, as if some component inside was making an operational sound.
