At this time, Huang Tang was explaining to the Chen brothers: "The sensitivity of the search dogs to the smell has reached an unbelievable level. Don't look at them walking around. In fact, they are walking according to the actions of two people── At that time, the emotions of the two missing persons must have been very agitated, otherwise, why not just sit still and walk around in the conference room?" The Chen brothers naturally knew that the missing person was provoked by their deliberately contemptuous arrangements, so they "walked around". However, they still pointed at the dog in horror: "How can this be done?"

Huang Tang said: "Where people have been, there is a smell left behind. There is a difference between the smell left three seconds earlier and the smell left three seconds later. Search dogs can tell the difference, so they can track down the missing person. Whereabouts, look, they left the meeting room." Two search dogs left the conference room and came to an elevator, barking loudly. Huang Tang took a breath: "The two missing persons took this elevator down...after the sixteenth floor...until now, no one has seen them." When Huang Tang said this, his face turned pale, and everyone felt an extremely strange atmosphere. For a moment, everyone fell silent, thinking about the strange thing that two people disappeared in the elevator.

Just when I was there, I let out a low cry of "ah" and waved my hand vigorously──I thought of it. From the feeling that there is a key problem, but I can't figure it out, I always think: What is it?What is the phenomenon?I've noticed that it's important to know, but why not crystallize it? It is easy to have this kind of situation, mostly because this key phenomenon is very common, and it is only noticed subconsciously, so it cannot be concreted, and it must be thought hard. And then, I remembered. I made a gesture to signal the two police officers to hold the search dogs and stop their actions, but the two dogs were acting very restlessly at this moment. They barked and burrowed wildly in front of an elevator.

Huang Tang also saw my gesture, he was stunned for a moment, he didn't know why I had to suspend the dog's movement, but from my expression, he could see that the matter must be quite serious. He hurriedly explained: "When the missing person left, he took this elevator to leave." At this moment, the elevator arrived, and the door opened. There was no one in the elevator. Before the door was fully opened, the two search dogs rushed straight into the elevator. The size of this kind of dog is not huge, but it has great strength. The two policemen pulled the leash in their hands and were led forward by the two dogs. It seems that what happened in the lobby will repeat itself again.

And at this moment, the elevator doors that had not been fully opened suddenly closed extremely fast, far faster than normal - it was so fast that the two police officers fell forward. At this moment, as soon as he stretched out his hand, his hand was pressed against the closed door.The elevator doors closed quickly, and the belt tied around the dog's neck was caught in the crack of the door.For a moment, the two police officers didn't know what happened, they were just in a daze.And I was among the first to wake up to what was going to happen—because I figured out that crucial scary question just ten seconds ago.

I suddenly called out, "Let go." I should have yelled very timely, but the two police officers obviously failed in wit and quick response. They heard the yell and looked at me with questioning expressions, but they did not let go Leash in hand. When I told them to let go for the second time, Liangchen Meijing also cried out, they also saw the danger of the matter, they and I shouted at the same time: "Let go, hurry!" Then they added: "The elevator is descending." The elevator may have descended immediately after the door closed rapidly, and later, I found that the two police officers, unless they saw the elevator door closed, let them go immediately, that would have prevented the tragedy from happening──in my case After yelling, even if they let go immediately, it will not help.

Because there is a rather thick knot at the handle of the belt, once the elevator door is closed, this knot becomes an obstacle and cannot pass through the closed elevator door. So, the situation became like this: the belt was blocked on the elevator door, one end of the belt was still on the neck of the search dog, and the elevator had sunk. As a result, when the elevator sank, two excellent search dogs were hoisted up and crashed into the top of the elevator. We, all of us, didn't even hear the barking of the two search dogs before they died, because everything happened so fast. Waiting for the sound of beautiful scenery on a good day to exit, everything has been completed.The elevator stopped because of the dog's dead body. The computer-controlled automatic alarm went into effect immediately. The alarm bell rang loudly, and the elevator stopped sinking. The indicator light on the door flashed rapidly.

Everything seems to be extremely normal - if there is a fault, the automatic computer management system will take effect, and that is exactly the purpose of the computer management system in the building. However, everyone outside the elevator leaned together naturally, and for a while, no one spoke. Of course, the two police officers had already let go of their hands at this time, and the knot of the belt was tightly stuck in the crack of the elevator door. Liangchen Meimei was the first to yell: "The elevator killed those two dogs!" Although what they yelled sounds a bit nondescript, it is the truth.It was the elevator that killed the dogs.

It was the sudden and rapid closing of the elevator door, which pinched the belt, and quickly sank, which killed the two dogs, the search dogs with supernatural powers. Liangchen Meijing screamed, while shaking her figure, with a "bang", I saw a flash of red shadow, then pushed open a door, and ran to the next floor. I knew their purpose, and followed them, going down Run one layer at a time. When I came to the next floor, I saw them, one on each side, trying to push the elevator door of the next floor open——the elevator is a very strange thing, there is only one, but on each floor, there are There is a door that does not open.

I said, "Don't use brute force, it's easy to open it with the help of a small tool." As I spoke, I pointed to a small hole in the upper end of the elevator door, and at the same time, I took out the appropriate tools. My "combined tool" is small and practical. Using it and my experience, about 80% of the locks in the world can be opened. While I was going to open the elevator door, Huang Tang and Liang Chen also rushed down. They naturally knew what I wanted to do, and the two Chen shouted: "It's a beautiful day, it's best not to look at it, it won't look good."

As they talked, they came to the front of the beautiful scenery on a good day, trying to cover their sight.I agree with their actions very much, because at this time, I have seen thick blood oozing out from the crack in the elevator door. This situation is like a horror movie that deliberately creates an atmosphere Same.Even though it was clear that the dead were only two dogs, it still made people feel extremely chilled. However, Liang Chenmei didn't appreciate it, and they didn't care, they just said coldly: "Go away." The Chen brothers also hesitated for a while, and each took a step across. At this time, I had already opened the door of the elevator. As soon as the door was opened, blood poured out, and the two respectable search dogs died in an ugly manner. Just imagine the force of the elevator falling, how huge, how can the flesh and blood of a dog contend with it?The heads and bodies of the two dogs were only connected together, and when the door was opened, one of them finally separated from the head and body, and the dog fell out with a pool of blood. At this time, I took a look at Liangchen Meijing, and saw their pretty faces were pale, but their expressions were very determined. At this moment, a few staff members came over, both men and women. As soon as they approached, they naturally saw the terrible scene in the elevator, and immediately three or four women screamed. But their screams were only halfway through, when the red shadows flickered and "slaps" sounded repeatedly, all the screaming women were slapped heavily by Liang Chenmei. How fast Liangchen Meijing moved, they wanted to hit someone, even if the person was fifty meters away, they couldn't hide from him, let alone right next to him. After beating someone, the woman who was beaten was at a loss as she touched her face, but Liang Chenmei was still full of anger, and sighed: "What's your name, save some face for women." I couldn't help sighing, if "violent" was used to describe Liangchen Meijing's actions at this time, although it was a bit too much, I definitely felt this way.Originally, they were definitely not the ones who hit people casually, but what happened in front of them was so weird that people's emotions had undergone uncontrollable changes, and they would naturally have unusual behaviors. The Chen brothers waved to the staff to make them leave, and at the same time loudly ordered the management staff to come up. I looked towards Huang Tang, Huang Tang's expression was also very ugly, I said: "There will be a period of chaos, call more police officers to maintain order." Huang Tang immediately gave the order, and the two police officers with the dogs stared blankly at the two dead dogs, seeing their expressions, as if they wanted to pounce on the dead dogs and hug them.But the dog's death was so ugly that they all had mournful faces, bewildered and very sad. The police officer with the dog, there is a lot of affection between man and dog. Naturally, it is sad that the dog died suddenly and tragically. At this time, Senior Secretary A Guo used his working ability, another elevator opened, and several security personnel and management personnel rushed out together. It was A Guo who was summoned immediately. When the security guards and management personnel saw this situation, they were also amazed. The Chen brothers gave a simple order: "Clean up everything as quickly as possible! Get back to normal!" I guess it will be "chaotic for a while", of course I can't estimate wrongly, it is indeed messy for about half an hour, but we don't all participate, after the dead dog is removed, it takes about 20 minutes, after that, we all arrive together In the conference room on the fiftieth floor, I took the lead in the action. In the conference room, no one spoke. It took ten minutes before Liangchen Meijing repeated what they had just said: "The elevator killed two search dogs." The two Chens said in a deep voice, "Murder." Huang Tang's voice sounded a bit strange, but what he said fit his identity as a police officer: "A well-planned cold-blooded murder." They looked at me, my thoughts were very confused, I first raised my hand to signal them not to get too emotionally excited. At this moment, Ah Guo appeared at the door with two people. The two introduced themselves. One said: "I am an engineer sent by the elevator company." The other said: "I am the management director of the building." I was having a lot of questions to ask them, so I immediately gestured for them to come in. The two stepped in and said in unison: "The operation of that elevator has returned to normal." I motioned them to sit down, and then, I told them what happened just now, and asked, "What is this phenomenon?" The engineer didn't even think about it: "Accident! This is an accident. This kind of accident often happens in the operation of elevators." I was very dissatisfied with this answer: "Is it an accident that the elevator door does not close at the normal speed?" The management director took over the problem: "The supply of electric current went out of balance at that moment, and a high-voltage electricity appeared, which caused the elevator to operate abnormally." Liang Chen asked, "How do you know?" The management director said: "I checked the computer records. The power supply of the whole building is controlled by the computer, and there are records of the power supply process. No matter how small the changes are, there will be no mistakes." I took a breath: "What caused the sudden change in the current supply?" The management director spread his hands: "The result of the computer check is blank." The engineer interjected: "This kind of accident often happens. In one building, a worker died when the elevator sank because his overalls were caught by the elevator door." Liang Chenmei let out a muffled snort: "Accident!" The engineer and the management director obviously didn't understand why our attitude was so fierce, and they looked at each other, blaming us for making a fuss out of a molehill. We were silent because the matter was so complicated that we couldn't explain it clearly—more importantly, we didn't even know what happened. At this time, I could understand what the Chen brothers said: some strange things happened in the building, and no one wanted to publicize these strange things. Anyway, the loss was not too great, so everyone kept it secret.Judging from this phenomenon, the Twin Towers are probably not the only buildings where strange things happen. The two Chens asked a few more questions, but they couldn't come up with anything. They waved to the management director and the engineer, gesturing them to leave. When they stood up, I suddenly remembered something and asked, "Chen Has Mr.'s special elevator ever broken down?" The management director showed a surprised expression: "No, the special elevator is checked by a special person every day, and there will never be any malfunction." The director of management said so affirmatively that several of us looked at each other and felt a chill again.Liang Chenmei asked: "The special elevator is also managed by the computer system?" The management director nodded: "Of course." Liangchen Meijing snorted: "The whole building is managed by computers, what are you in charge of as the management director?" The management director was not angry when he was teased, but just sneered, mocking Liangchen Meijing's ignorance, and said: "My responsibility is very important, and I am responsible for inspecting the operation of the computer." Not to be outdone, Liangchen Meijing: "All the work is done by the computer, isn't it, you didn't do it." The management director sneered again: "Why should I do computer work? Do you know that a big city in the Far East has the most advanced underground railway network, and every train has a driver, but the driver is not in charge of driving. , is the computer in the control center responsible for driving?" Liang Chenmei blinked her eyes, and was speechless for a while. They naturally knew that human life, because most of them depend on the operation of computers, has entered the point of being controlled by computer operations. That is what they said just now. Between computers, there is no more war──The war is over, the computer wins, and the human loses! The management director had to be reasonable and dismissive: "It seems that the two ladies don't know much about computer management. If you are interested, I can introduce some reference books." I saw that Liangchenmei was embarrassed, and I was a little upset, so I asked the management director: "Do you know a lot about the operation of computers?" The management director raised his chest: "My university course is majoring in computer." I smiled: "Then, do you know that human thoughts can enter and use computers?" The management director stared at me for a while before saying, "I'm an expert in computer management, and I don't know how to write science fiction novels." At this time, Huang Tang expressed his impatience. He sighed roughly, and the two Chen waved again. The management director and engineer left together. After they left, there was another brief silence. Then, the Chen brothers said: "The special elevator has never been faulty at all...but during that time, Prince Ahan wanted to use the special elevator, but he couldn't use it." Huang Tang said, "So he had to use an ordinary elevator." Liang Chenmei said: "Someone... has a kind of power to ask Prince Ya to use the ordinary elevator. The purpose is to cause trouble. If Wesley is not there, it will be a big trouble." Thinking of the chaos in the lobby, everyone agrees that it's a beautiful day. The two Chen said again: "The purpose of creating confusion is to hinder the progress of the search work." Liang Chenmei raised her voice: "Later, they went even further and killed the two search dogs." Huang Tang's voice trembled a little: "You said 'they', who are 'they'?" Liangchen Meijing took a deep breath: "Of course it's the building's computer management system. They... they control the entire building and do whatever they want in the building. They are secretly fighting against human beings, swallowing not only objects, but also people." Having said that, Liang Chen Meijing's pretty face turned pale, and she looked around and huddled together.Although they didn't say anything more, they couldn't understand what they meant.Everyone is now in this building.And the computer management system, which controls the entire building, can easily deal with us. All of a sudden, everyone looked at me. I didn't express my opinion during their discussion. Until then, I made a gesture to signal everyone not to be too alarmed. I said: "When I was in the lobby, there was a rather strange phenomenon. I don't know if you have Attention? I think this phenomenon is very strange, but it took me a long time to remember it." Liang Chenmei said: "It was so chaotic at the time, if it was a common phenomenon, it would be easily overlooked." I held up my right hand: "It was such a mess at the time, of course no one would keep pressing the button to keep the elevator door open, right?" As soon as I said this, everyone said "ah". One sound.They thought about it too. Modern elevator design, the opening and closing of the door is automatic. If the "door open" button is not pressed, the elevator door will automatically close within a few seconds. , something everyone knows.However, in the lobby just now, in the chaos, no one pressed the "door open" button at all, but the elevator door remained open. What force kept the elevator door open? Of course, it was the power that suddenly closed the elevator door and killed the two search dogs, a real power, this power will be exercised without hesitation, and can be used within the range of Zaixia. anything happens. I said this fact, which made everyone feel even more fearful, and their expressions naturally became more panicked.Everyone was thinking about the same question: now, on the 50th floor of this building, how can I leave?Will there be any accidents on the way out?That's not to scare yourself, in fact, two people disappeared inexplicably, and two dogs died tragically in planned murders. The beautiful scenery on a good day is natural, looking out the window.I understood what they meant, and couldn't help being shocked: "It's not like climbing down from the outer wall." Even in terms of their abilities, it is not easy to climb down the fifty floors of the outer wall of a modern building. They naturally know this, but they still pouted: "Although it is difficult, but ...probably a lot safer than taking an elevator." Huang Tang suddenly came up with a sentence: "Fortunately...there are still stairs to walk—an architect once said that the computer management is extremely perfect, and modern buildings can completely eliminate the primitive climbing tool of stairs. Fortunately, no one go along." Liang Chen smiled wryly: "Is it safe to take the stairs? That is a space that no one uses. Who knows what they have done?" I waved my hand vigorously, and said loudly: "Everyone, although our idea can be established, at least until now, this kind of power... They haven't started large-scale operations. Every day, thousands of people are in modern buildings. You can get in and out, safe and sound. So, let alone climbing walls, there is no need to take stairs.” Everyone is silent—this is a very strange situation. The thing has already happened, but there is still a fluke mentality. It is different from other disasters. This is a new disaster for mankind. Human beings cannot adapt to it. , I don't know how to avoid it. Therefore, human beings have no choice but to comfort themselves in their hearts: it will not be so bad!There may be room for turning around!Always be safe!Large-scale operations have not yet begun... Even a few people here at this time, including me, have such thoughts, without exception. In the face of a huge disaster, this is a very terrible mentality. If you have this kind of mentality, you will be swallowed by the disaster. At this time, we were thinking the same, and the two Chens suddenly said, "California in the United States." They suddenly said this, and the reason is easy to understand.There is a fault identified by geologists in California, and it is not known when it will suddenly break out, causing the greatest disaster since the formation of the earth. However, of the tens of millions of people living in California, who will move to a safer place because of this?
