Chapter 716 Behind Death
Liu Sheng was shocked when he saw the cause of death. He couldn't help but look back at the teammates hanging behind him and the bodies still lying on the platform.
Why mass suicide?
[Congratulations, you have unlocked mission three so quickly: Find out the cause of your death! But this is just the beginning...]
Since this is just the beginning, that means we need to dig deeper into the reasons behind collective death...
【Yes! You are very smart! my darling! But don’t forget, mission two is not completed yet~]
Liu Sheng: ...I know!
Speaking of which, how did this notification sound become so disgusting?
While Liu Sheng despised the bad taste of his brain and the low-end version of "The World" working together, he carefully inserted his tentacles into the cracks of the door lock.
As each tentacle squirmed to fill the ridges and ravines, with a slight turn, a soft click was heard, echoing throughout the corridor.
The door was opened.
But this voice made Liu Sheng's heart tighten.
[We have to hurry up. 】
Liu Sheng gently pushed open the door, dragging her teammates suspended in mid-air, while her tentacles dragged her limbs to crawl outside.
The entire corridor was silent, as if it had swallowed up all the breath of life. Only the cold light shone on the doors embedded in the walls on both sides.
In fact, this corridor only has two directions. According to the induction of breath, both sides are filled with deep darkness and a vague sense of oppression.
Either to the left or to the right, that is the question.
But if you feel carefully, there is obviously a lighter flow of breath on the right side, as if there is an outlet there.
So, go to the right and drag your teammates forward.
As he walked forward, Liu Sheng looked at the labels on the house numbers on both sides.
Without exception, they are all collective suicides.
[So, is there anything else necessary to write about the cause of death? 】
Liu Sheng was speechless, and at the same time there was a trace of doubt in his heart.
[Unless you must see this reason...]
But since there are really corpses behind the door, it's no wonder the corridor is so quiet.
So Liu Sheng hung himself and the dragged corpse in mid-air, slowly clinging to the wall with his tentacles, trying to avoid any noise from the ground and walls.
Fortunately, she was like this, because when she approached the end of the corridor, she finally heard a sound——
The elevator door opened, and two people walked out, wearing gray work clothes, each holding a tablet in their hands, talking as they walked.
"Why did the morgue door open? Wasn't it a false alarm?"
The woman who spoke was nearly middle-aged, with thick limbs, messy dark brown hair, and a pale face full of sorrow.
"I have to go check it anyway, otherwise the alarm will keep ringing in my seat." The thin and pale middle-aged man beside him frowned and said irritably.
"That's right, who made your position just under the speaker." The woman's tone was a bit gloating.
"Do you think someone forgot to close the door last time?" the man suddenly asked.
The woman shook her head and directly denied: "If that were the case, it would have started ringing long ago."
"Otherwise, someone broke in and stole the body? You know, our stingy company's broken equipment is not even willing to install iris fingerprints..."
The woman quickly denied this conjecture: "No, there is no benefit in stealing the body. You have to spend money to maintain it, unless you have any special hobbies..."
"That's right..." The man nodded, his expression suddenly serious, "But then again, it won't be... then the time has come, right?"
After hearing this, the woman's face changed slightly, "No way? It's been a long time since we showed up... I even suspected that something was wrong."
The man's face turned even paler: "That's not good. If something really... goes wrong, what can we do..."
"Stop thinking nonsense!"
The woman's tone suddenly rose a bit, as if she was comforting the other person as well as herself.
"Even if that time comes, there will be no prompt that the door is open."
"That's right..." The man's mouth twitched, revealing a dry smile, "Could it be that the body ran out on its own?"
After he finished speaking, he realized how ridiculous his words were and laughed twice.
The woman agreed with a dry smile, which was able to dispel her worries just now.
The two chatted and laughed, and walked towards the direction where the tablet in their hands indicated that the morgue door had been opened.
Because the two of them were busy chatting and looking down at the tablet from time to time, they were completely unaware that ten corpses were hanging in the darkness above their heads, staring at them with their lifeless eyes wide open.
Then, there were two "bang bangs".
Under the sight of ten pairs of eyes, the two fell to the ground unconscious. After a while, two "people" wearing gray work clothes slowly stood up.
His movements were stiff, like an unskilled puppet, and there was an unnatural sluggishness between his joints.
Liu Sheng let the little tentacle move her stiff neck, and slowly lowered her head one by one. She saw that the name tag on her chest was a combination of letters and numbers, which was very difficult to remember.
But Liu Sheng confirmed that they were not the "recorder" and "depositor" of her morgue.
Looking at their appearance, they are unremarkable and have nothing to remember.
But this is just right, and it is convenient to replace it.
The two original owners of the famous brand were lying on the ground, put on light blue clothes, and tightly tied by small tentacles like golden strings.
Liu Sheng looked at the tablet, selected one of the limited rooms that had not yet been activated, and temporarily locked them in it.
[I hope I can remember to let them out in time. 】
The "person" next to Liu Sheng is another teammate whose brain seems to be more active and pink, but now except for the fact that his eyes can be opened, everything else is still unable to move.
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
So it can only be controlled by "mother".
Then, the small tentacles penetrated into the two corpses, fine-tuned their joints and muscle movements, and tried basic movements such as walking, waving, and raising arms.
After some adjustments, these movements finally looked close to normal people, although they were still a little stiff.
Although it was difficult to completely conceal the deathly look on their faces, fortunately, the two employees themselves were pale, so it was not too out of the ordinary.
The biggest problem was the eyes, with their dimmed irises showing a grayish white color, which was really scary when they opened them.
So Liu Sheng let the small tentacles grow into a film to cover the eyeballs, and he could also customize the color, texture and style of the iris, which was really convenient.
For this reason, Liu Sheng also specially studied the iris details of the two employees and copied them. The reproduction of such details is not difficult for Liu Sheng's brain.
As for other teammates...
Of course they were not forgotten. Since they were escaping together, of course they had to be taken with them.
So the eight corpses were hung from the ceiling by tentacles, like a string of suspended balloons, silently accompanying them.
The elevator door opened, and it was empty inside. The teammates slowly "floated" in.
As the elevator door closed, there was an instant bang, and eight corpses fell to the ground. The dead flesh was piled on top of each other, making a dull sound.
There were two corpses standing upright like stiff dolls.
In order to avoid being discovered in such a weird situation, Liu Sheng also used his tentacles to cover the closed-circuit surveillance in the elevator.
This is the second negative floor, and the first negative floor. The highest floor is the ground floor.
It seems that this building is underground.
[So these people all have such fair skin? 】
[Is this similar to a warehouse city? 】
Liu Sheng tried to press the button on the ground floor, but it showed that she needed permission authentication, so a small lens appeared and scanned her irises.
"Authentication is correct."
A mechanical beep sounds.
The button on the negative floor lights up.
[It seems that this employee’s authority can only reach that level. 】
As the elevator started, the beep finally sounded.
【bite! 】
[Congratulations, you completed task two! 】
I didn’t expect that leaving this floor would be considered escaping the room. Could it be that each floor is a room?
[Next, please continue to complete task three: find out the cause of your death! 】
The negative floor has arrived.
Liu Sheng and her teammates walked out with their heads held high. There were still many people walking around outside, but they were all busy with something. They only glanced at Liu Sheng indifferently and didn't even give them any more looks. .
[Wait a minute...we are somewhat in the same boat...]
Liu Sheng quickly adjusted the small tentacles and they looked normal.
As for the other teammates?
Sorry, there are so many people coming and going here. Even if it can be kept on the ceiling, Liu Sheng really can't control so many people from occasionally looking up at the ceiling.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she temporarily placed these teammates on the top of the elevator and followed the elevator up and down the elevator shaft.
Unless someone takes a look at the elevator shaft on a whim, it shouldn't be discovered, right?
