Chapter 2 The Palm Reader

This incident made me very scared. I always felt that I had run into something evil, but I didn't dare to explain it to Sister Liu, for fear that she would blame me for not closing the elevator on time and delaying work.When I went to work again the next day, I specially took the jade I got from the temple with me, thinking that no matter whether I encountered something unclean, I should treat it as a psychological comfort for myself.I was born in the countryside, and when I was a child, I heard many strange stories from the mouths of some old people. Although I have always been courageous, it is still weird to encounter such strange things that cannot be explained in the middle of the night.

At about eleven o'clock in the evening, I was dozing off in the monitoring room when I suddenly heard the phone ring, because it was the first time I heard this thing calling, and it took me a long time to answer it.

To my surprise, it turned out to be a complaint from a resident in the building. The other party told me that he lived on the seventh floor and was about to go out, but the anti-theft door was broken, so he was locked in the house and asked me to go over to help. look.I didn't dare to refuse, so I said I would go there right away. When I took the tool and took the elevator up, I just bumped into the man who called me. The man was swarthy, wearing a casual big mandarin jacket and a hat, smiling. Saying I’m sorry to bother you wasted a trip, but I actually messed with it myself just now.I said that's fine, I went back if I had nothing else to do, the man said to go together, he just wanted to go out for a while.

We chatted for a while in the elevator room. This man is Wang Tao, in his 30s, and he opened a decoration company in the south of the city. He bought this house when he started his business. He told me that he has been working for a long time. Did not come back.Since Wang Tao is more talkative, I couldn't hold back my curiosity, and casually asked him why this office building is so deserted at night, and whether it is because there are few residents living here.

Wang Tao glanced at the watch in his hand and said with a smile, you have to close the elevator in 10 minutes.

I snorted and said you all know this, Wang Tao smiled and said that there is nothing he doesn’t know, there was a huge fire in this building before, and hundreds of people died, and it is easy to encounter bad things if the elevator is not closed at twelve o’clock in the middle of the night .I shivered, I was still feeling terrified about what happened last night, but when he said that, I was even more afraid.I said brother, don’t be kidding, I’ve been working here for more than half a month, and I haven’t seen anything strange.

Wang Tao smiled like Maitreya Buddha. He said, little brother, you have to believe in chance. Sometimes it’s not that you didn’t meet it, but that you didn’t notice it when you met it.

For some reason, when Wang Tao said this, I suddenly felt that the surrounding area was chilly.Wang Tao continued, before you came, did someone tell you that you need to pay special attention to three things, the first thing is not to open the door at night, the second thing is that the elevator closes on time at 24:[-], and the third thing is not to go Fourteenth floor.

I was shocked all over, and said that this is not normal. For the safety of the floor, it is normal to close the elevator on time and not open the door at night. As for the third thing, Sister Liu never told me.

Wang Tao yawned and said, yes, of course she can't tell you, if she told you, wouldn't you run away in fright?As far as I know, before you, three internal staff members have died, none of whom worked for more than a month.

I glared at him and said that you should be careful when you are joking. If so many people died in this building, why was it not closed and demolished by the police, and you said that three internal staff died before me? Reported it!It is said that such a big matter will not be ignored.

Wang Tao said, believe it or not, we are destined, how about I help you read the palm.

Although Wang Tao has a good face and is not defensive at all in his conversation, I always feel that he is also quite strange.Wang Tao said that he did it out of good intentions. People's hands record a person's lifeblood, which is more detailed than facial reading.I half-understood and gave him my left hand. He frowned and looked down for a minute or two. After the elevator stopped, we were still standing at the door stupidly.Wang Tao said, did you suffer from tuberculosis when you were young? I was shocked and asked him, you can see it. Wang Tao said nonsense, I will study it later.

Next, Wang Tao said a few small things, but none of them hit my heart. I was about to ask him what he thought, but he suddenly raised his head and asked me how old I was this year. I said 21 without hesitation.He nodded and said he was born in April of the lunar calendar?I was even more surprised, and said yes, the fourth day of the fourth lunar month.Wang Tao smiled knowingly, and said that no matter what happens in the future, don't go to the fourteenth floor, listen to me, otherwise you may die!

Isn't the fourteenth floor where the beauty went up last night?

I was taken aback, but seeing Wang Tao's appearance didn't look like a joke at all, I chatted with Wang Tao a few more times, and wanted to ask him why he couldn't go to the [-]th floor, but he hesitated, and then reminded me It's almost twelve o'clock.Before Wang Tao left, he reminded me not to go to the fourteenth floor no matter what.

I hurried to turn off the elevator in a panic, and just turned off the power and walked back, when I suddenly heard someone talking in the corridor, I stopped to try to hear it clearly, but it suddenly disappeared again.

Back in the monitoring room, I took out my mobile phone to play when I was idle and bored, and found that I had received a few text messages that I hadn’t read. Only after I opened the content did I realize that it was a prank by a friend, but when I saw the same words on the last line, I felt shuddering Feeling: Friendly reminder: Today is Ghost Festival, don't go out and run around!

I threw the phone aside, thinking that these guys are too rude, they sent me this kind of text message knowing that I was on duty alone in this strange building, isn't it obvious to scare people!I shook my head, trying not to think about these messy things, and then continued to stare at the monitor screen.

Maybe it was because I stared at it for a long time, and there was no movement on the monitoring screen. After a while, I fell asleep again. I didn't wake up until someone knocked on the door of the monitoring room.I rubbed my eyes, and after confirming that I heard correctly, I quickly walked over to open the door.

It was a girl holding a toy who knocked on the door. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was quite cute, but there were two lines of tears on her face, and she said hesitantly: Brother, my parents had a fight. Are you here for a while?

I sighed secretly, wondering how rich people like to quarrel when they have nothing to do, can't they live a good life, I asked her if she was on the fourteenth floor?The little girl was startled for a moment, then shook her head and said no, she lives on the third floor.

I smiled and said you come in.I thought to myself that the girl yesterday was not a few years older than me, how could she have such a big girl, I was also sleepy.

The girl sat on the couch while I sat back next to the monitor and continued working.Because the girl was crying softly all the time, I couldn't bear it, so I went over to comfort her and asked her if I would call your parents and ask them to pick you up, but she kept shaking her head and said no.I thought to myself that if my parents quarreled, the child would not be affected, so I asked her what number she lived in, and I grabbed my hand and said, "Brother, don't go, or my parents will definitely beat me to death." of.

I don't believe there are such cruel parents in the world, so I comfort her not to cry, maybe her parents will come to her soon.

The girl nodded and said I don't want them to come to me.

I wondered why she said that?

As a result, the girl said that those were not her real parents, she was adopted.

I suddenly came to my senses, and I didn't know what to say, so I paused, and then told her not to be sad, to stay with me at ease, and to lie down on the sofa to rest if she was sleepy.

The girl raised her head and said brother, I am a little cold, can you get me a dress?
I smiled and touched her head, said yes, took off my coat and put it on her, and then told her not to think about it.

Back on the seat, I yawned unknowingly, the girl whispered brother, if you are sleepy, you can sleep for a while, can I call you if I need anything?
I thought how pitiful it was that the little girl was so obedient that she didn't like her adoptive parents.I yawned again and said tiredly, I'm sorry to trouble you, I'll just sleep for a while.

When I woke up, the girl was gone. I guess I should have gone home, or been picked up by my parents.I searched around, but couldn't find the coat. I thought it might have been taken back by the little girl.

The next day, I received a call from Sister Liu. Sister Liu said that she had recruited another back office worker, who would be on duty with me at that time, saving me from delaying work due to exhaustion.Then Sister Liu asked me if anything happened these few days, I thought about it and said it was nothing, Sister Liu said that's fine, he will go to find you tonight.

When I returned to the dormitory, several roommates were there, but today they did not greet me as usual, but looked at me at the same time with a puzzled look.Elder Zhang came over first, and asked me with a smile, Li Fan, you've lost a lot of weight recently, I don't think you should go, it's hard work.

I smiled wryly and said, "Old Zhang, working the night shift must be hard work, but you also know my family's situation. My dad was recently hospitalized and owes a lot of debt to relatives."

Old Zhang had a gloomy face. At this time, another roommate handed me a newspaper and said in a low voice that you should read it yourself.

At first I thought they were worried that I would not be able to bear it, and I was very sleepy when I came back, but when I saw the big words in the newspaper, I woke up suddenly.Lao Zhang said in a low voice, Li Fan, look in the newspaper and see if the place where the fire broke out is where you work?

I nodded, but what I paid attention to at the moment was not 'a serious fire in the XX building, 90 dead and 100 injured...' but the first paragraph under the title 'Because the couple living on the third floor quarreled, the woman turned on the gas impulsively, After that, there was a violent explosion, and then... In the end, the couple, including the child, were all burned to death. The child of the deceased was only 3 years old...' I can’t read the content of the following, but there is a photo of a little girl on the newspaper Let me sit down on the bed in an instant.

Lao Zhang said in a low voice: This is a report that we found when we went to sell waste paper today. This happened more than a year ago. !
