Yun Xi reflexively waved her hand by her ear and looked back in horror. The corridor was empty. Yun Xi's heart was pounding like thunder. Her senses were highly alert, paying close attention to any possible movement around her. She was extremely tense. At this moment— Zzzt... Yun Xi felt her mind go blank for a moment, but her eyes had already followed the sound and landed on the corner of the wall. There was a water dispenser placed at the corner between the corridor and the elevator hall. The indicator light on the hot water outlet was red, and that "Zzzt, Zzzt, Zzzt" sound was coming from the water dispenser when it was automatically heating up. And just as Yun Xi saw the water dispenser, the indicator light happened to turn green with a "click". —The water had boiled. The water dispenser automatically stopped working, and that "Zzzt, Zzzt, Zzzt" sound disappeared. "Oh, for goodness' sake!" Yun Xi pressed her chest and let out a long breath that she had been holding for a long time: "I was so scared." People always say that being scared by others can be deadly, but she had scared herself so much that she was in a bad state. Yun Xi silently complained in her heart. When she came to her senses, she couldn't help but laugh. She took out her mobile phone and, while walking towards the elevator hall, planned to share this "corridor scare" with her roommates. At this time, a very clear "click" sound came from the end of the left corridor. Yun Xi suddenly looked up and saw that the end of the corridor was pitch black. She belatedly realized that the sound just now was the sound of the lights being turned off at the end of the corridor. However, turning around the corridor was the ophthalmology treatment area. Had the ophthalmology department also got off work at this time? But she hadn't seen the medical staff inside coming out either. Yun Xi's heart tightened, but she immediately comforted herself: Scaring herself by thinking about all sorts of things was enough for one day. Maybe the medical staff had their own staff elevator. At this time, there was another "click" sound, and the first ceiling light at the end of the corridor went out. Then the second one, the third one... The "click, click" sounds rang out simultaneously on both sides of the corridor. The lights went out one after another, and they went out faster and faster. Normally, light would scatter, and as long as there were still lights on nearby, it wouldn't be completely dark. But in this corridor, the places where the lights went out showed an extraordinary and absolute darkness. That darkness... seemed as if it could swallow the light itself! Once the lights went out, those corridors that had just been bright and clean completely disappeared into the darkness. It was as if they had been erased from space out of thin air. "Click", "Click", "Click", "Click", "Click"... The lights went out faster and faster. The darkness on both sides was like some conscious creatures, rushing towards Yun Xi. Yun Xi was so scared that she took a step back and then rushed to the nearest elevator. She held onto the elevator door with one hand and stared fixedly at the approaching elevator floor numbers. The elevator seemed to be running extremely slowly, and that "click, click, click" sound of the lights going out made Yun Xi even more terrified. "Hurry up..." Yun Xi's voice was trembling. But her last bit of理智 still desperately told herself: This is just the hospital turning off the lights after work. It's no big deal. Don't shout or move around randomly. Otherwise, it would make her look like a fool easily. However, with two "click" sounds overlapping. Yun Xi looked back and found that it was pitch black outside the elevator hall. The lights on both sides of the corridor had all gone out. Yun Xi's heart sank. She stiffly looked up at the ceiling light in the middle of the elevator hall. Click. The only light in the elevator hall went out. The surroundings were instantly plunged into darkness. Yun Xi was too scared to move. Her heart was almost in her throat. At this time, a soft "Zzzt..." sound rang by Yun Xi's left ear. The string in Yun Xi's mind called "reason" snapped instantly! She subconsciously raised her hand to pound on the elevator door in front of her. At this moment— "Ding." The elevator door opened. Yun Xi rushed in panic and squeezed herself into the elevator through the crack of the door! The moment she stepped into the elevator, Yun Xi felt something tug at her foot. She stumbled forward. "Hey!" The person in front quickly stepped aside, but immediately another pair of hands stretched out from the side and firmly held Yun Xi. Yun Xi was still in shock. She looked up and saw that the person who held her was the older sister of the two siblings who had waited for the elevator with her before. "Are you okay?" The young lady asked with great concern. Seeing that Yun Xi's face was pale, she kindly kept holding her and didn't let go. "No, no..." Yun Xi forced a smile and then quickly looked back. Before the elevator door closed, she saw the outside of the elevator hall— The lights were on. And Yun Xi was dumbfounded. [I saw a ghost.] She thought blankly. At this time, another voice scolded Yun Xi: "Don't you look where you're walking?" Yun Xi held the young lady's hand to steady herself and looked up to see that the person scolding her was a young man in a wrinkled white shirt. The young man pushed through the crowd and said to Yun Xi with a disdainful look on his face: "You bumped into someone and didn't even apologize. What kind of manners is that!" Then he put on a flattering look and squeezed in front of the man who had stepped aside: "Hey, Mr. Chen, she didn't bump into you, did she?" Yun Xi was still in a daze. She just stared blankly and then vaguely felt that the "Mr. Chen" who had almost been bumped into by her looked a bit familiar. Mr. Chen also glanced at Yun Xi. Seeing her staring straight at him like that, Mr. Chen curled his lips with a rather contemptuous look and turned his head away, ignoring her. The young man took this opportunity to strike up a conversation and kept flattering Mr. Chen with all kinds of solicitous remarks: "It's okay. Hahaha, Mr. Chen, do you still remember me? I'm Wang Qing, Xiao Wang from Huacheng Group..." It was only at this time that Yun Xi finally came to her senses: This "Mr. Chen" was none other than Chen Tian, the founder of that Internet AI company. His company had just made big news in the AI field and had been occupying the headlines of various tech media every day recently. Yun Xi had seen him on the opening screen pushes of several apps. She didn't expect to see him in person in this situation. At this time, the young lady beside Yun Xi gently clicked her tongue: "Humph, men, what a character." Yun Xi looked over. The young lady nodded towards Mr. Chen and Xiao Wang with her chin and then whispered to Yun Xi: "People like him think that all women in the world are trying to cling to them. Hehe." ...With the young lady's hint, Yun Xi finally realized belatedly: So just now, Mr. Chen thought that she was deliberately trying to strike up a conversation with him by pretending to fall, which was why he showed that contemptuous look to her. To be fair, Yun Xi thought that it was her fault in the first place. If she hadn't been so scared just now, she should have taken the initiative to apologize to Mr. Chen. But now, Yun Xi thought it wasn't worth it to make herself look bad. She shrank her neck and just turned to the young lady and gave her a grateful smile: "Thank you." The young lady waved her hand in a cool way, indicating that it was unnecessary. At this time, the elevator door opened again with a "ding". Yun Xi had gotten on the elevator on the third floor, and this was the second floor. The elevators in the hospital were deepened and enlarged in order to transport stretchers. But this elevator had been picking up people on every floor along the way. By now, it was already full of nearly twenty people, and the space was rather crowded. So as soon as the elevator stopped, someone immediately complained: "Why call the elevator when it's on the second floor? Just walk down." And the few people standing by the elevator door were reluctant to make way when they saw that it was a middle-aged woman outside. "Ah..." The woman hesitated when she saw the situation inside the elevator and seemed to be really ready to take the stairs. But at this time, Mr. Chen suddenly spoke: "Hmm? Mrs. Xu! You're here too?" Chen Tian took the initiative to reach out and block the elevator door while giving a look to Xiao Wang, who was flattering him. The bootlicker Wang Qing was startled for a moment and then quickly came to his senses and helped to shoo people away: "Everyone, make way, make way. There's still plenty of room at the back of the elevator. All move back a bit." He kept shouting and pushing, and even pushed Yun Xi and the siblings a few steps back. "Hey, it's just an elevator, but it's like the queen is arriving." The younger brother, who had been stepped on by the crowd, complained in a low voice. Yun Xi thought to herself that they really were siblings. They even talked in the same way. Then that "Mrs. Xu" also walked in, and immediately a very light and lingering perfume smell drifted in the elevator. Yun Xi didn't know much about perfumes, but this was definitely the nicest-smelling perfume she had ever smelled. It was restrained, elegant, and calm. Mrs. Xu was wearing a long white velvet cloak, carrying a handbag. She had a plump face, delicate makeup, and was dressed in a low-key way, but there was luxury in every detail. She clearly looked like a pampered noblewoman. Yun Xi couldn't help but sigh again: It's so nice to be rich. And Mrs. Xu walked into the elevator and nodded to Mr. Chen. When she smiled, there was even warmth in the slight wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
