Trembling At A High Altitude

Chapter 490

"Why don't you leave quickly? Are you waiting for him to kill you? Do you think he still looks like a normal person?" Cheng Qian pulled Shen Xin's wrist hard and pulled her out of the toilet.

"Let's go!" Zhang Haiyang suddenly shouted to Shen Xin with a very painful expression. With one hand, he forcibly pulled back the other hand that was reaching for Shen Xin. His whole body was struggling inexplicably in place.

"He has seen a ghost! You can't save him! Let's find a way to call rescue!" Cheng Qian continued to pull Shen Xin out of the toilet.

At this moment, Zhang Haiyang suddenly rushed towards the toilet wall.

Shen Xin wanted to pull him but couldn't...

‘Boom! ’ There was a muffled sound, and Zhang Haiyang’s head hit the hard wall of the toilet hard. His skull shattered on the spot, and then his whole body fell softly to the ground.

"No! Don't!" Shen Xin rushed over and helped Zhang Haiyang's body. She tried to give him artificial respiration and chest compressions, but was forcefully pulled away by Cheng Qian.

"His head is broken, can you save him? As a Jingcha, why are you so stupid?" Cheng Qian could no longer bear Shen Xin.

"His wife just gave birth to her second child! She's not even finished yet! She has two children at home, and he's dead. What will they do?" Shen Xin cried loudly.

"I told you that you would die if you played that game, but you didn't believe it, so you installed it and tried it. Now you know I didn't lie, right?" Cheng Qian scolded Shen Xin.

"I said Huang Yan was not killed by me. You should believe me now, right?" Li Teng also interjected.

"But why did you want to harm me? You knew that you would die if you played this game, but you let me play this game without telling me before! If I die, I will be killed by you!" Cheng Qian looked at it Li Teng was a little angry.

"Ahem...this..." Li Teng didn't know how to explain.

He is different from them. He does not belong to this world. This script world should be just a virtual world. If he needs to complete the script tasks, he must follow the clues. The only clue is in the hands of Cheng Xiaoqian in the game world, and Cheng Xiaoqian was nowhere to be found, so he could only use this method to continue the plot.

Otherwise, would he have stayed in this script world?

He is just an actor.

But having said that, if Cheng Qian really died, he did have a big responsibility.

Although he could just focus on advancing the plot and not care about the life or death of these NPCs, he decided to do everything possible to save Cheng Qian's life and try not to let her die accidentally.

"If I die, you must compensate my family well. Mr. Li, you don't have much else but a lot of money. You are worth tens of billions. You should be able to do this." Cheng Qian said to Li Teng sadly. brought it up.

"No problem. If you die, I will compensate your family 10 million. By the way, this Officer Zhang also sacrificed his life to investigate the case. I will also compensate his family 10 million. No matter who If this case is over, I will compensate his family at this price." Li Teng agreed to Cheng Qian.

"For you rich people, is a life just some money? Officer Zhang died like this. How painful must his family be? How should they face the future life? The pain of losing a loved one can be solved with money. Can you make up for it?" Shen Xin lay beside Zhang Haiyang's body and was heartbroken.

"Officer Shen, this is wrong. If I die, it will be Mr. Li's responsibility. He should compensate me. Ten million, although it is a little less, is still fair. But the death of Officer Zhang, It has nothing to do with him, and his compensation is just out of morality.

"What's more, he is also a victim of this game. He received the game client from Huang Yan's WeChat in order to clear his name. Although his game character is not dead, the game world is so dangerous. Who knows when his character will die?

"Legally speaking, Mr. Li really has no obligation to compensate you. To be able to compensate you 10 million yuan is already a sign that he is very responsible and responsible. If you talk like this again, it is a bit too much." Cheng Qian was confused. Shen Xin was scolded.

Shen Xin fell silent.

Yes, what Lawyer Cheng said makes sense. In fact, Officer Zhang's death had nothing to do with Li Huateng. He didn't give her a penny in compensation, so she couldn't say anything. Now he offered to give each of them 10 million. , but she made some sarcastic remarks, which was indeed inappropriate.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I'm too sad and a little emotional." Shen Xin apologized to Li Teng.

"It's okay. You came into contact with that game just to handle the case. If you want to blame it, you can only blame the creator of the game. I don't know what the motive is for creating this game to harm people!" Li Teng looked unconcerned.

At this time, Li Teng received a message from Cheng Qian on WeChat.

"Let me speak for you. If I die, will you compensate my family with a few million more? Their death has nothing to do with you, but I was definitely killed by you!" Cheng Qian obviously wanted to take credit. coming.

"Can I pay you 20 million?" Li Teng's company doesn't belong to him anyway, so it's just a favor.

If Cheng Qian is satisfied with the compensation and stops blaming him, it will make his conscience feel better.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Li!" Cheng Qian sent another message back to Li Teng with a kiss emoji.

She didn't know if she could survive the twenty-four hours. The game said that she would die unexpectedly. If she died like this, she would definitely not be willing to do so. But with the compensation of 20 million yuan for her family, she felt a lot more balanced.

People cannot be resurrected. Sociologists have studied that monetary compensation can indeed make up for part of the pain. Although this may feel cruel, it is the fact.

"Why can you send me WeChat? You try to contact other people on your WeChat to see if you can inform them that we are trapped here and let them think of ways to rescue us." Li Teng suddenly thought of it What, asked Cheng Qian.

"That's right! I couldn't get through the phone at first. I thought the Internet wouldn't work either, but I didn't expect the Internet was good... I quickly sent a message to try. By the way, Officer Shen, you can also send it to your colleagues who are guarding outside. Try messaging and see if you can get a response from them." Cheng Qian said as she tried to send messages to her friends and family on WeChat.

Unfortunately, no one replied to her.

I don’t know if they didn’t receive it or if they didn’t pay attention to the message on their mobile phone WeChat at this time.

The results of Shen Xin's test were the same as Cheng Qian's, and no one responded to her message.

It was as if they were now isolated from the rest of the world, and even the Internet was only accessible to the people in this building.

"Mr. Li, what should we do now?" After Cheng Qian received the promise of 20 million in compensation, she was obviously very affectionate towards Li Teng.

Chapter 491

"Wait a minute, I'll take a look at the situation in that cubicle." Li Teng used the flashlight of his mobile phone to shine, came to the door of the third cubicle, and then used the flashlight of his mobile phone to shine on the doorway that Zhang Haiyang kicked open.

"You said earlier, after the phone call, did you hear the sound of high heels over there?" Li Teng asked Shen Xin and Cheng Qian while observing the situation inside the doorway.

"Yes, first there was the rustle of electricity, and then the sound of high heels." Shen Xin answered Li Teng.

"Has a woman died in this building before?" Li Teng continued to ask.

The current situation feels very much like they have fallen into a ghostland for some reason.

It's very possible that he was pulled in by a female ghost or something.

This female ghost should be ordered by the mysterious force behind the Jueming mobile game to hunt down these players who play the game and play their own characters to death.

I wonder if we can end this ghost realm by deciphering the cause and effect of resentment of the high-heeled female ghost, thereby rescuing Cheng Qian and Shen Xin from here and preventing them from following in the footsteps of Zhang Haiyang.

Judging from the previous situation, if Zhang Haiyang had not acted without authorization, ran out to smoke alone, and then inexplicably ran into the toilet on the fourth floor, he might not have died, at least not so quickly.

"Well... I'm not sure. Zhang Haiyang and I are classmates. He just helped transfer me to them two months ago." Shen Xin answered Li Teng.

Li Teng looked into the cubicle through the kicked-in door, but didn't see anything.

He tried to reach out and open the third grid door again, but found that the grid door was locked tightly and there was no way to open it.

When the three of them came in just now, Zhang Haiyang was standing outside the third cubicle, and in a very weird posture, he stretched one leg into the door hole, and then hit the grid door with his head.

His death must be related to this cubicle.

It's a pity that Shen Xin, the only remaining female admirer, is a new colleague in the bureau and doesn't know much about the past.

If we can't find the cause and effect, we can't resolve the resentment of the high-heeled female ghost. It will probably kill people later.

At the beginning, only the lone people were killed. Later, even if the three of them got together, the female ghost might come out and kill them.

Li Teng estimated that nothing would happen to him. After all, his character in the game was not dead, and the King of Hell didn't want to take him in yet.

But Cheng Qian and Shen Xin are different.

They will die at any time.

"Can I use the toilet here?" Cheng Qian asked Li Teng.

When I was playing cards earlier, I ate snacks and drank a lot of water. My nerves had been tense just now, but now I have relaxed a little, and I feel like I am about to lose my temper again.

"It's best not to. This toilet seems to be cursed. Before we figure out the reason, it's better for us to stay away from here. If you want to use the toilet, we can go to the floor below where there is light." Li Teng answered Cheng Qian.

"Well, what you said makes sense. Shen Jingguan, let's leave here." Cheng Qian mentioned it to Shen Xin. She had wanted to leave here for a long time, but Shen Xin and Li Teng had not left, so she couldn't bring it up. .

Shen Xin looked at Zhang Haiyang's body on the ground again, sighed softly, stood up and prepared to leave with Cheng Qian and Li Teng.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor outside.

The three of them stood still and held their breath. At Li Teng's signal, Cheng Qian and Shen Xin both turned off their mobile phone flashlights, and the toilet became dark.

Cheng Qian came closer to Li Teng. Li Teng knew that she was scared and put his arms around her body. He could feel that she was shaking.

Along with the footsteps in the corridor outside, there was also a flickering light.

After the footsteps walked outside the toilet door, they walked back and forth several times, and then walked into the toilet!

Bright light also shined into the toilet.

It shone on Li Teng, Shen Xin and Cheng Qian.

"ah!!!!"

An extremely harsh scream sounded, frightening Cheng Qian and Shen Xin into screaming together.

Li Teng quickly turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and shined it on the visitor.

Judging by her clothes, she is a middle-aged woman in her thirties, Jingcha.

"Stop screaming!" Li Teng shouted, interrupting the three women's continuous screaming.

"Shen Jingguan, why are you here? Ah!!!!"

After the female Jingcha used the mobile phone flashlight in her hand to shine on Shen Xin, she then shined the light on Zhang Haiyang's body on the ground. Seeing the tragic death of Zhang Haiyang with his skull shattered, she couldn't help but screamed again.

"Please! You guys are Jingcha... calm down, please?" Li Teng said a few words.

The middle-aged female king felt a little embarrassed when Li Teng said this.

She is not the kind of Jingcha who performs tasks outside. She is actually an internal affairs worker. Her main job is to be in charge of the monitoring room in the bureau. Suddenly she found that her colleague died tragically in the toilet. She felt a little uncomfortable and took control of her. He kept screaming.

"Sister Liu, where are Gao Jingguan and the others?" Shen Xin also recognized the person, so she asked Liu Jingguan.

"I don't know." Liu Jingguan shook his head. Her name is Liu Li.

"We just went to the control room and didn't see you, not a single person. Then something happened in this building. We wanted to go downstairs and leave, but the floor became chaotic and we couldn't get out at all. Are you How did you get in?" Shen Xin asked Liu Li.

"Did you go to the monitoring room? Why didn't I know? We were installing the game you mentioned in the monitoring room while observing the situation in your room, but suddenly something went wrong with the monitoring and your room became gray. Yes, it's like a cloud of gray fog has blocked it, and nothing can be seen.

"I have no choice but to go to your room and see what's going on.

“Then Lao Gao left and never came back.

"I wanted to close the game, but after pressing the button, I suddenly appeared in the game world, and saw some weird things waving big knives and slashing at me. I didn't avoid it and was chopped to death by them. Then I quit the game.

"After exiting the game, I found that I was still in the monitoring room. But your room is still gray, you can't see anything, and Lao Gao still hasn't responded.

"So I went out to find Lao Gao and went up to your room on the third floor.

“As a result… your room is empty.

"I tried calling the others on my cell phone to try to contact them and find out what happened to you and why you left the room.

"But the phone couldn't get through, there was only rustling, and then... click, click, click, as if someone was walking?

Chapter 492

"I felt a little panicked, so I ran down the stairs in one breath. It felt like I had reached the first floor. When I could leave the building and join my colleagues, I found myself entering a dark corridor. I used my mobile phone to Looking at the light, I found that I seemed to be on the fourth floor!

"How can this be?

"I obviously went down from the third floor. I went down two floors in one go. I should have arrived in the lobby on the first floor. How could I have reached the fourth floor?

"I heard something talking here, so I illuminated it with my mobile phone and walked all the way over here. I didn't expect you all to be hiding here, and...Xiao Zhang has already..."

Liu Li told the three people everything she knew.

"I almost know what's going on." Li Teng nodded.

"What's going on?" The three women looked at Li Teng together.

"This Jue Ming mobile game seems to have created an alien space, pulling us from the normal space into this alien space. It is impossible to leave the alien space we are in before we find out the cause and effect. Yes, but people from outside can come in.

"For example, Liu Jingguan played her game character to death, so she also fell into it.

"Although we are still in this building and they are in this building, we have been separated into two different spaces. People in the normal space cannot see us, and we cannot see them. They must be in now They looked for us everywhere but couldn't find us. We also wanted to find them but couldn't find them either.

"Unless we can find a passage between the two spaces, we can return to the normal space from this alien space."

Li Teng ended his explanation.

"What you said seems to make sense, but since your game character is not dead, why would you enter this alien space with us?" Cheng Qian basically agreed with Li Teng's point of view, but also raised questions.

"I don't know. Maybe I was with you three players whose game characters all died. When the door to the alien space opened or spread, it happened to involve me too, right?" Li Teng There is no way to answer Cheng Qian's question.

However, his inner suspicion was that it might be related to his identity as an actor.

"Why are there such scary games? If the characters in the game die, will we really die?" Liu Li was also a little scared now.

"I told you not to play this game a long time ago, but you didn't listen and passed it on to others. You really don't care about your own life! I played it after being deceived by him without knowing it. What about you? It's just seeking death!" Cheng Qian was furious.

"Okay, don't be angry. Let's find a way to leave this alien space, otherwise we may really die here." Shen Xin said a few words to Cheng Qian.

"Let's go downstairs first. I want to go to the toilet where there is a light downstairs." Cheng Qian suggested to everyone.

No one else had any objections, so they walked out of the toilet together with flashlights on.

When she reached the door of the toilet, Shen Xin stopped again and looked back at Zhang Haiyang's body in the toilet.

"Don't look at it. After we leave alive, let others handle these matters." Cheng Qian pulled Shen Xin towards the toilet door.

Shen Xin sighed and finally followed Cheng Qian out of the toilet.

Others couldn't understand her feelings for Zhang Haiyang.

She and Zhang Haiyang were high school classmates. When she was in high school, she had a crush on Zhang Haiyang, who was tall and chivalrous, but she felt that she was not good enough for him, so she kept this feeling in her heart. Never mentioned it to anyone.

After graduation, she was assigned to a small police station at the grassroots level.

The work is very hard, she has to go to many communities every day, and she does some trivial and meaningless mediation work between parents.

She didn't want to keep hanging out like that, but there was nothing she could do about it.

I met Zhang Haiyang at the class reunion and found that they had entered the same system. After hearing Shen Xin's distress, Zhang Haiyang helped transfer her to his bureau through connections.

Salaries and benefits have been comprehensively improved, and work has become much more interesting.

She has always been very grateful to Zhang Haiyang in her heart, and of course she still has some feelings of a girl's crush in high school.

The concentration of these emotions made it impossible for her to face Zhang Haiyang's death calmly.

In particular, she also knew that Zhang Haiyang's family had just added a daughter, and it was when a man was needed to support the family. Putting herself in his wife's shoes made it difficult for her to accept Zhang Haiyang's death emotionally.

She very much hoped that this was all just a nightmare, and when she woke up, it would be over, and Zhang Haiyang could still stand handsomely in front of her.

"Liu Jingguan, how many years have you been in this situation?" Li Teng chatted with Liu Li as he walked.

"It's been ten years, right?" Liu Li didn't know why Li Teng asked this question.

"Has there been any death in this building? A woman wearing high heels." Li Teng reminded Liu Li.

"This? Did you see anything?" Liu Li seemed a little nervous.

"Did you make a phone call just now? Was there a rustle on the phone? After the rustle, was there the sound of high heels?" Cheng Qian reminded Liu Li a few words.

"I tried calling, but no one spoke so I hung up. I didn't pay much attention..." Liu Li shook her head.

"You haven't answered my question yet!" Li Teng urged Liu Li.

Everyone walked down the stairs, but the corridor was still dark.

It feels like... it's still on the fourth floor?

"Let's go down one more floor. It will be safer if we find a floor with lights." Cheng Qian saw this and quickly stopped everyone from entering the corridor.

So everyone continued to go down the stairs.

"There was indeed a fatality in the building you asked about. It was three years ago..." Liu Li spoke hesitantly.

"Well, please tell me the cause and effect in detail. Maybe the way we want to escape from this alien space and return to the normal world is because of the death of that person three years ago." Li Teng asked Liu Li brought it up.

Everyone also went down a floor again.

However, the corridor was still dark.

I don’t know if the lights were turned off on the third floor, or if they were trapped on the fourth floor and couldn’t get down.

Just when everyone was hesitant to continue going down, the sound of high heels suddenly came from the direction of the corridor, and it seemed that someone was walking towards the stairs.

The three women suddenly didn't dare to say anything. They crowded together and backed away in horror.

Li Teng wanted to go over and see what was going on, but Cheng Qian stretched out her hand and held her tightly.

After the sound of high heels came over, they walked back again.

After a while, a woman's cry came from the corridor.

It was a very sad cry, the sound made people's hair stand on end.

"It's really her! It's really her! She's back!" Liu Li whispered, her whole body trembling.

"What's her story? Tell it quickly." Li Teng asked Liu Li.

"Three years ago, there was a case. I was not a party to it, and I don't know the details very well. I just heard others talk about it..." Liu Li answered Li Teng in a low voice.

"Stop talking! Don't invite it here!" Cheng Qian interrupted Liu Li.

The crying suddenly stopped.

The sound of high heels sounded again.

'Ta, Ta, Ta...'

He walked towards the stairs step by step.
