Cai Gen was afraid of waking up the little sister at the service desk, so he shouted as quietly as possible,

"Big brother, big brother, wake up, wake up."

The security guard was still very dutiful, Cai Gen's scream, interrupted his snoring, and he was about to get up when he opened his eyes.

Cai Gen saw that the security guard had woken up, and hurriedly explained his intention.

"Big brother, I can't get up if the elevator is not stuck, I'm delivering takeaways."

When the security guard heard Cai Gen's words, he got up half of his body and lay down again,

"Deliver food, take the stairs."

Do you have to take the stairs to deliver food? Cai Gen still wants to work hard,

"Big brother, do me a favor, it's a guest on the 8th floor, you are tired and help me press the elevator, I'll just go up and walk down by myself."

The security guard was impatient, turned over, rushed his face to the back of the sofa, and plunged his head into the soft gap of the sofa, like an ostrich hiding from harassment, and chirped,

"Is the 8th floor tall? Love to climb or not. ”

Cai Gen looked at the indifferent back of the security guard, obviously unwilling to take care of himself anymore, and a wave of anger rose from his heart.

Then, silently, walked to the stairwell door.

Cai Gen came to the door of the stairwell, and through the small window on the door, he saw that it was pitch black inside.

This is the second time today, Cai Gen is faced with such a choice, a dark corridor, the 8th floor, climbing the stairs, the 8th floor.

When I came out just now, I was very confused, I forgot to take the flashlight, I pushed the door open, it was really dark inside, only the staircase, the sign of the safety exit, and the fluorescent green light emitted.

The miserable green color illuminated the stairwell even more terrifyingly.

Cai Gen wanted to close the door and ride back.

Forget it, if you don't send it, a bad review is a bad review, which one doesn't have a bad review for takeaways.

No, two meals, 30 yuan, that's 30 yuan, go back and eat by yourself?

I took out my mobile phone and turned on the flashlight, and the pale flash illuminated the corridor miserably, but it overshadowed the miserable green, which was much better.

Put down the takeout bag, take out a cigarette, take out the lighter, and light the fire.

I just wanted to light a cigarette, but a bright spot appeared in front of me, it turned out to be a voice-activated light, put away my mobile phone, and my heart was ecstatic.

But I was happy, it was only 3 seconds, the lights went out, and Cai Gen was still stunned with the lighter.

3 seconds of voice-activated light, can you walk 4 steps, or 5 steps?

Forget it, put the cigarette on your ear, put away the lighter, pick up the takeout bag, and start coughing.

Run two steps, cough, and climb upstairs as fast as you can.

Before Cai Gen returned to his hometown to open a store, he worked in a big city for more than 3 years, and he has been running business all over the country.

At that time, I lived in a hotel every day, 3-star, fast, chain, local, small hotel, and lived in many kinds.

However, the fire escape of the hotel is the first time to go, in addition to the green safety exit sign, there are emergency lights, and every two floors, there is a mousetrap, which may have rat poison inside.

When he saw the second mousetrap, Cai Gen couldn't climb anymore.

Due to the continuous coughing, my throat was very sore and a little deprived of oxygen, so I grabbed the handrail of the stairs and stopped to catch my breath.

Looking at the mousetrap more than ten steps away from him, there are 2 more, and he arrives.

The voice-activated light went out, and before it went out, I saw a black shadow next to the mousetrap, charred black, charred black.

Cai Gen thought he was dazzled, and quickly coughed, and the light turned on.

The black shadow was still there, but it came down the stairs.

After 3 seconds and 4 steps, the light went out again.

Cai Gen's scalp was numb, and he didn't dare to move, praying that he was hallucinating because of lack of oxygen, and coughing again.

The shadow shifted gear, probably not stopping in the darkness, and descended halfway up the stairs.

Against the light, I continued to descend the stairs, and in 3 seconds, I went down 4 more steps.

There were only four steps left from Cai Gen, and the lights went out again.

Sweat flowed down his forehead and into his eyes, and Cai Gen didn't dare to move, didn't dare to wipe it.

I knew that if I coughed again, the black shadow would come to me.

But Cai Gen still couldn't help it and coughed.

The voice-activated lights are on again.

Although the sweat hurt in his eyes, Cai Gen still squinted and looked carefully, and there was no dark shadow in front of him.

Hallucination? It must be an illusion, if the black shadow walks straight downstairs, he is on the path that the black shadow must pass.

He was not in front of his eyes, concluded that it was a hallucination, and his heart relaxed slightly.

Cai Gen unconsciously glanced to the side.

yes

The dark shadow is actually next to him!

He, he, actually bypassed himself and continued to walk downstairs.

The neck that was twisted slightly stiffened, and it took more than ten seconds for Cai Gen to straighten his head.

I felt that there was water flowing in my back and armpits, it was sweat, and when it flowed to my waist, it was cold again.

Cai Gen stopped coughing and walked quickly upstairs without stopping.

When I saw the fourth mousetrap, I finally saw it, under the green light, the blood-red figure 8.

Cai Gen felt that his sweat had penetrated through his underwear, rubbing against the down jacket.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he pushed open the door of the stairwell and entered the hallway of the hotel.

There was a carpet in the hallway, and the patterned red carpet was soft and comfortable to step on, and there was no sound.

Cai Gen began to look for room 8804, trying not to think about what had just happened, and delivered the meal first.

Finally, at the end of the corridor, I found the door number 8804, and on the doorknob, there was a Do Not Disturb sign.

Cai Gen was already tortured by the fear just now, and rang the doorbell regardless of it.

"Ding Dong",

There was silence in the room, and certainly no footsteps came to open the door.

Cai Gen knew that he was annoying like this, but he still plucked up his courage and rang the doorbell again,

"Ding Dong"

This time came out of the house, cautiously tempting,

"Who?"

"Hello, food delivery."

Cai Gen replied in as polite a tone as possible.

There was obvious relief inside, and there was a complaining scolding,

"Minato, I thought you weren't here today, you're hungry, wait."

Twenty seconds later, the door opened a crack, and a strong man half a head taller than Cai Gen appeared in the doorway.

Cai Gen saw through the crack in the door that the strong man was in his 40s, bald, with a horizontal face, and a gold chain as thick as a little finger around his neck.

Cai Gen hurriedly squatted down and took the rice out of the takeaway bag, it was still hot.

Stand up and hand it to the strong man,

"I'm sorry, I'm delaying your meal, the elevator won't let me sit, I'll climb the stairs..."

Before Cai Gen could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted by a strong man,

"Stop the ink, more money?"

"30 bucks."

The strong man took the meal and said

"Wait."

Then he closed the door again.

There was a sound of Suosuo, and the door was opened again, and the strong man handed out a 100 note.

Cai Gen took it and began to look for money from his bag, and as soon as he took out 70 yuan, sweet and greasy words came out of the room,

"Boss, he didn't take a beer."
