Chapter 4: Death Begins

  My heart is racing non-stop, who's after Liu Tingting? I reached out to grab the phone on the table, my hand trembling as I dialed 110. The phone rang with a dull tone, but no one answered!

  I slammed the phone down on the table.

  When Liu Tingting appeared in the third scene, her skirt was torn, blood streaming from her head, and her two big eyes seemed to be bursting out of her face. She fell twice and got up again, stretching out her hands to scratch her face and head, her fingernails seemingly embedded in her skin. Her originally white face was left with deep scratches.

  What kind of fright would a woman have to endure in order to torture her own face like this?

  I have to go take a look! I struggled hard to get up and this time I really stood up.

  I glanced around the empty office, looking for something that could be used as a weapon, but all I saw was a broom lying on the edge of the desk.

  I didn't have time to be afraid, picked up the broom and was about to go out to take a look when I found that Liu Tingting had already run to the first floor entrance.

  This should be fine now, as long as Liu Tingting runs out, it should be fine. Because our office building is located in the city center, although it's almost midnight, there are still many people, and there is a security booth at the entrance, with someone on duty 24 hours a day.

  I continued staring at the surveillance screen on the computer and saw Liu Tingting finally run out of the glass door, and I couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, putting down the broom in my hand.

  I stared at the screen for half a day and didn't see anyone follow him out.

  I suddenly thought of a question, and the heart that had been put down was tightened again. If no one followed Liu Tingting to run out, wouldn't that person still be in this building?

  I was worried sick when I saw a faint figure reflected on the glass door of the first floor in the screen.

  I hastily cut off the screen, then opened it and enlarged it. In an instant, I felt as if a million ants were crawling on my back, biting at my skin.

  The figure reflected on the glass door was actually Lin Meixin's!

  I let out a loud cry and fell off the chair. It's impossible, Lin Mei is clearly already dead, how can a dead person possibly be chasing after Liu Tingting?

  At this moment, I saw the edge of the computer screen suddenly seeping out blood. The original surveillance monitor screen gradually disappeared, leaving only a huge white face with a pair of eyes like black holes staring at me.

  I was so scared that I let out a loud shriek, grabbed the broom beside me and smashed it towards the computer screen. The broom hit the power cord, and the screen went black instantly.

  I scrambled up from the ground, grabbed the briefcase on the desk and ran out of the office like a madman.

  I ran to the elevator entrance and took a look. The elevator was still on the first floor. I pressed the elevator button and didn't let go. After a while, the elevator finally arrived.

  I rushed into the elevator, my eyes fixed on the digital screen on the right, praying in my heart, "Bodhisattva, Buddha, let me out quickly, let me out quickly!"

  Just as I was getting anxious, the elevator suddenly jolted and stopped between the 18th and 17th floors.

  My whole body was drenched in cold sweat, and I kept pressing the elevator button, but it still didn't move. I frantically pressed the alarm device, and the phone connected, but there was no one speaking on the other end, only a faint hissing noise.

  Just as I was almost suffocating, the elevator suddenly slowly opened a crack.

  I am very clear about the property management speed of this building, it is absolutely impossible to be so fast and so quick. Just pressed the alarm device, it is impossible for someone to come and repair immediately, especially in the middle of the night.

  This must be haunted!

  The elevator door opened a little, and when it was about the size of a fist, it stopped again, and there was no movement for a long time.

  I trembled with fear as I walked to the elevator door and tried to pull it open with my hands, wanting to squeeze out through the gap.

  With a sudden burst of strength, I saw a white face pressed against the gap between the opening elevator doors, with one crimson eye staring at me intensely.

  I fell heavily to the ground and let out a loud cry, in an instant, the lights in the elevator went out, leaving only the red emergency light, illuminating the entire elevator car.

  Those scarlet eyes under the emergency light made me even more terrified. At this moment, a pale hand stretched in through the gap of the elevator and waved its sharp fingers wildly in front of me.

  "Ah!" I was so scared that my liver and gallbladder were about to burst, and I fell to the ground with a thud, panting heavily, and a stream of scorching hot **urine** flowed out, accompanied by a foul odor.

  "Bang, bang!" The elevator's lights suddenly lit up, and the originally fist-sized gap in the elevator doors closed. The elevator continued to descend, "ding..." and arrived at the first floor.

  The moment the door opened, I rolled and crawled out of the elevator, and the elevator door slowly closed again.

  I stood up, feeling only a flurry of golden stars in front of my eyes. After covering my chest and taking several loud gasps, I didn't dare to stay any longer. I stumbled and staggered into the hall, where there was not a single person. The silence was like death.

  As I passed through the glass door, I took a look at those two glass doors. No, there was no reflection on the door, and except for me, there was no one else in the entire hall.

  I pushed the door open with all my might and walked out, only to find a large crowd of people surrounding the entrance. At this point, I had no heart to see what these onlookers were staring at, because urine was flowing down my pants, dripping onto the ground, and my head and back were already drenched in sweat, as if I had just been pulled out of a sewer.

  Just a few steps out, I saw an ambulance and police car speeding towards the company entrance.

  What's going on? Has something happened at the company entrance? I suddenly had a bad premonition. Turning my head, I saw that the ambulance and police car stopped next to the crowd of onlookers.

  Soon, a person covered with a white cloth was put on a stretcher and was about to be lifted into an ambulance.

  My head buzzed as I suddenly sat up, the person on the stretcher was covered with a white cloth, but from the corner of the pink color exposed under the white cloth, I recognized it at a glance, that was the clothes worn by Liu Tingting.

  I was stunned, and rushed towards the ambulance like a madman. I lifted up the white cloth and saw Liu Tingting's distorted face in front of me.

  That face was full of scratch marks, and a pair of eyes stared widely! Just a few minutes ago, Liu Tingting was fine, but now she had become an icy corpse?

  I let out a loud shriek!

  A doctor in a white coat pushed me away, "Move! Don't interfere with us seeing if she can still be saved!"

  I was pushed back several steps before I regained my footing, and just as I was about to rush over again to see Liu Tingting's body, a young policeman grabbed me. "What do you want to do? I'm the police, what's going on?"

  Turning back, I saw a cold face and was immediately stunned. Stammering, I explained, "I...I'm fine, I just wanted to see who the dead person was."

  The young policeman looked at me suspiciously and said, "Is that so? Then stand aside and don't interfere with our investigation."

  I just realized that next to the crowd of onlookers, a silver-gray BYD was parked, and a car owner-like person was crying with a sad face, explaining to a police officer, "I really didn't see her, she suddenly ran out like that, and I couldn't brake in time!"

  The police officer was writing something with his pen and after a while, he said to the car owner, "Follow me back to the team for a round. We need to conduct a detailed investigation of the whole process. Hope you can cooperate."

  The car owner nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "It's only right... it's only right..."

  The ambulance and police car quickly took away Liu Tingting's body, as well as the owner of the vehicle, and I walked step by step towards my single dormitory not far away, with only the terrified expression and silent scream of Liu Tingting in front of me from the surveillance video.

  I can say that I was watching her die, and she was only a few steps away from me. If I had rushed out to stop her at that time, maybe things wouldn't have happened... But in the end, because of my selfishness and cowardice, I didn't stop her.

  "I really didn't see her, she just suddenly darted out, and the brakes were already too late!" The car owner's words echoed in my ears again, and a voice in my heart was telling me that Liu Tingting did not die from a car accident, but was killed by Lin Meixin.

  Perhaps it was Lin Mei's control over her spirit that made her collide with the oncoming BYD! Soul Forbidden
