"High Life?Administrator Chen said that you would only come over in three days, why are you here now?"The only female investigator among the four, shook Gao Life's hand, "I'm the deputy leader of the investigation team - White Bridge.The three of them are all newcomers and have yet to experience an abnormal event."
"You're taking three newcomers into the middle of an abnormal event?"The anomalous events that High Life remembered were all very terrifying, and the survival rate of ordinary people was extremely low.
"According to the survivors' oral accounts, no specific ghosts appeared in the midst of this abnormal event, just some weird signs, and it was initially judged as a level 1 abnormal event, which is already very friendly to newcomers."Baiqiao opened the black ring and played a video, "Yesterday evening someone called the police and said that there had been a child crying on the fourth floor of the No. 4 Courtyard on Min Cang Street, and the police checked the entire floor but couldn't find the child.Later the old man in the building said, the fourth floor once lived in a family of three, the man has a very serious propensity for violence, the woman is not a good person.About a few days ago, the couple suddenly moved out overnight after an argument in the evening, but the child didn't seem to follow them out."
"Was the child killed?"High Life watched the video and thought of this possibility at first.
"I don't know, we went to look for the couple, but they disappeared in the old town."Whitebridge closed the video, "Ever since that couple moved out, the sound of a child's crying has been heard on the fourth floor, it was weak at first and would stop after a while.But since last night, the crying hasn't stopped.We suspect that this unusual incident is in the midst of a continuous deterioration and must be investigated as soon as possible."
"Only cries?No one was injured?"High Life had made many games related to crying sounds, and with the information he had now, it wasn't enough to determine which game had become a reality.
"There are no injuries for now."Shirahashi glanced at his watch, "The other investigators are on their way here, let's wait until it's almost dawn before entering the interior of the building."
The torrential rain that had been falling for several days in a row had finally begun to weaken, but the dark clouds that had enveloped the city still hadn't dissipated.
When there were still more than forty minutes before dawn, a black lorry stopped in the middle of the Min Cao street, the driver wearing a duck-tongued cap, strong and sturdy, the black rings on his wrists strangled directly into his flesh.
"Sister Bai, good morning."The burly driver patted the carriage, the rear door opened, and four investigators stepped out carrying various instruments.
The youngest two of them didn't even have black rings, they seemed to have just been selected to join the Bureau of Investigation.
"Stuff into the backpack, we need to test seven items tonight in the midst of an unusual event ... " The driver was just in the middle of his sentence when he suddenly saw Gao Life: "This brother looks a bit strange."
"He is a newcomer recommended by Old Qin who has experienced a Level 3 abnormal event."Baiqiao finished counting the number of people and raised his arm wearing a black ring, "I don't need to say more about the danger of abnormal events, you've already received a comprehensive and systematic education in the Bureau, for this operation I hope you'll be able to put up a twelve-percent spirit and strictly follow the code."
"Understood!"The three newcomers led by White Bridge and the four newcomers who got down from the lorry behind them replied in unison, there was no fear in their eyes, only nervousness and a little curiosity.
"Depart!"
Counting Gao Life, the entire ten members of the Investigation Bureau entered Building 4, but among them, only Gao Life, Bai Qiao, and the burly driver had experienced abnormal events.
The Bureau was severely understaffed, so the older members would bring in newer members to familiarise themselves with their 'enemies' after encountering unusual events that did not have a high risk factor.Tonight's operation is in fact a special training for newcomers.
Various kinds of household rubbish were piled up in the narrow hallway, a single shoe print remained on the steps, and various kinds of graffiti were painted on the walls of the building.
While the investigators cautiously approached towards the fourth floor, Gao Life turned on his torch and looked at the paintings on the walls.
The graffiti drawn on the cracked wallpaper seemed to be a complete story, with three villains drawn in black crayon.
The thickest, violent one seemed to represent the father, the little man with long hair represented the mother, and the one with the slimmest body was supposed to be the child.
The scrawl looks like a child's haphazard sketching, but if you look closely, you can see something.
The little people representing the father and the mother were always fighting, and every time they fought with each other, a lot of little people drawn with red crayons would appear behind them.
The red figures converged around the child and slowly piled up, folded and distorted.
As time went on, the little red men began to act even more horribly, snapping off heads and removing arms, and although they had crawled out of their parents' bodies, they didn't seem to care about the child's feelings, let alone be there for the child.
The squabbling and writhing continues, and the little red men become more and more terrifying, as they appear out of nowhere when the child is preoccupied with something else.
In a graffiti on the corner of the first floor, a small child is doing his homework when one of the little red men suddenly crawls out from under the desk, tearing his hair and strangling him, so that he cannot study.
There is also a graffiti on the third floor where a child is lying on the bed and sleeping, when little red figures suddenly crawl out from under the quilt and the bed, they open the child's eyes and prevent him from sleeping.
The child was so scared that he had to cover his body with the quilt even when it was hot, and he didn't dare to close his eyes even if the shampoo flowed into his eyes when he took a bath.
Seeing the cowardly and perverse child, his father and mother seem to be even more angry, and the fights spread to that child.
"The police didn't find the kid inside the building, is the kid trapped in that shadow world?"
Coming to the fourth floor, those investigators, led by Shirahashi and the driver, were very skilful in placing various equipment.
"There are a total of six residents on the fourth floor, but they've all moved out, you guys enter the house in groups of two to explore, and whatever happens don't get out of each other's sight."
The investigator took out the key provided by the police and unlocked the door of one room, and as the key touched room 405, the red lights on everyone's wrists suddenly lit up, and communication was forcibly interrupted.
It was also that moment when High Life saw large shadows from the
As the chill soaked through his body, Gao Fate took a deep breath as the hidden game within Building 4 on Min Cage Street was triggered.
Sweeping towards the downstairs, Gao Fate received an even worse news, the playground shrouded in shadows was as big as the one Zhao Xi had that time.Analogous to the last encounter, this wasn't a level one abnormal event at all, but a level three abnormal event that could be tricky.
"There are still twenty minutes until dawn."White Bridge raised his own arm once again, "We are now considered to have truly entered the midst of an abnormal event, any piece of information you find here can be of great help to those who come after you, any law you conclude here will be recorded in the General Administration's archives.Of course, the prerequisite for all of this is that you can bring the information out alive."
The burly driver also stood up straight: "The red signal light on the black ring represents a complete breakdown of communication, you should not believe the time you see inside the building, only after the red light on the black ring goes out and the yellow light comes on will you be considered to have truly escaped."
"Twenty minutes is short, but it could be a long time."There was no longer a trace of a smile on Whitebridge's face as her gaze swept over everyone present, "The investigation of the unusual event begins!I hope that every one of us can come out of the dark night safely!"
