Returning from the abyss

Chapter 736 Office Building

The building of Baligong has been changed from a warehouse to the current one. It seems that there are no guards or the like. Long Tiangang studied it, and there are no obvious precautions such as anti-theft alarms around.When Deng Zhiyi heard this, he slashed open the door and repaired it with his foot. The fragile wooden door immediately collapsed into several pieces.

"Ha, this place is really not anti-thief, confident." She grinned.

"Be careful, the danger here may not be lower than that in the Red Prison." Xin Mi patted Deng Zhiyi's shoulder and warned.

Everyone stepped into the office building.

There will be no fog in the building, but it feels a little damp here, and there is a smell of paper and wood that has been stacked for a long time. It is not rancid, but slightly pungent.

The corridor is clean and old, not like a state that has just been converted into an office building for a few years. The small offices are clearly divided, with names and numbers on them, and there is a replaceable groove next to it. with the project name.

"Travel companies... don't need these things, right?" Yan Zidan read the things written on the two doors, which are [Tourist Contact] and [Emergency Handling], and it is indeed a job for a travel agency, but Generally speaking, customer service for this kind of position can be arranged, why are they separated on purpose?

"Maybe the company is bigger." Qian Yipeng stretched out his hand and twisted the doorknob, but unexpectedly it opened.

This is a very ordinary office, but there is no one in it. Rows of small cubicles and computers are neatly arranged. Every cubicle contains documents and notes, and none of them is wasted.

How can such a weird place be full of people?
Lu Ning looked through the documents left in several compartments. They were files of customers, and indeed they all pointed to travel plans and intention surveys from all over the country, but...

"It's really strange that a travel company in such a small place still undertakes business from all over the country." Deng Zhiyi flipped through it twice, and muttered loudly, "This is not a cooperative business with a chain travel agency. I have been here for so long I've never heard of it, why do I need so many big customers... Good guy, this order is expensive enough."

"Didn't we already know that this place is weird?" Xin Mi said, "Now we need to find the real problem, or the direct evidence that can confirm that these ghost incidents are taking place here."

"Then I suggest going upstairs." Long Tiangang said, "There are ordinary employees here. If it were me, I wouldn't tell the real situation."

Indeed, there are several offices on the first floor, but they are all similar basic-level jobs. If you look for them, the results may not be much different. They are all things like this.

Lu Ning is very sure that these orders are actually the names of those ghost businesses, but I don't know what the corresponding relationship is.It can only be seen from the category that the business scope of this Baligong is quite wide - another meaning of "broad".

They didn't spend much time on the first floor, and everyone immediately went up the stairs to the second floor. There are several different rooms here, which seem to be the special office of the team leader, and there are other offices.Deng Zhiyi opened another team leader's office, and when she walked in, Lu Ning glanced at it - as the team leader, it seemed that she was in charge of all the projects.

【Seven-Color Valley Project】.

A location that I have never heard of, and it was not mentioned in some documents I read downstairs.

The office of the team leader named "Li Ling" was cleaned up very cleanly. Except for a few documents that were being processed on the desk, the rest were put away on the bookshelf.There are not many extra decorations in the room, only a potted plant on the windowsill.Everything here looks normal, or maybe it is... normal?

Lu Ning opened the bookshelf, flipped through the relevant books on the bookshelf, and quickly found what she needed. This is something she is very familiar with. She has done this kind of work many times before. Her speed is very fast, and it only took 5 Within minutes, she pulled out a handwritten note.

The other people who rummaged through boxes and cabinets all looked over. Lu Ning glanced at the notes and quickly found the key information inside.

Valley of Seven Colors.

[The project is progressing smoothly, and according to the current schedule, it will be completed around the New Year.According to the general progress, the solicitation of customer sources can already be started in advance, and the benefits that the project can bring are about 7, and if there are no accidents, it can continue in the future.

Among the concurrent projects, only Huanshi Mountain, Qingfeng Plain, and Liye Shrine have the same level of profitability, but we are far ahead in terms of development progress.

To this end, at least ensure that the follow-up capital injection is equal to the other three projects and seize the opportunity. 】

Very simple and straightforward notes. The team leader seems to have only recorded the status of the project in charge, but it is okay to not write down such things. Will he write it down like this?

She flipped forward, and it was basically the progress of the Seven Colors Valley project. Since she didn't have time, she couldn't tell how long this project had been going on, and it was another project about a dozen pages ago.

"Is there any project competition here?" Qian Yipeng was a little puzzled, "And these projects must not be what they appear on the surface, right? Are there any special references?"

"It must be." Lu Ning took photos of these pages of notes, then handed the notes to Xin Mi, and continued to search on the bookshelf.She found a few more documents related to the Valley of Seven Colors, but they were all fund reports and progress reports, and they were all the kind of content that they knew was wrong but still appeared to be serious reports.

Until the bottom row, Lu Ning knelt down and pulled out a personnel report.

[Direct person in charge of the Seven Colors Valley project, personnel dispatch. 】

There are seven names in it, and Lu Ning even knows two of them——Zheng Yunting and Pi Ding.

She instantly knew what the Seven-Color Valley represented.

"Everyone... the president participated in this project." Lu Ning said.

And everyone knows that the president eventually became a part of the Red Prison, and was used so thoroughly that even death was not considered clean and tidy.Seven people, that is to say...

"It's the summoning plan of the Underworld Prison." Duan Ye said, confirming everyone's guess.

"That nail is the one we failed to catch in Zaoyuanzhuang, right?" Qian Yipeng pointed to another name, "He was chosen by this side to be the person in charge of the project? Doesn't that mean..."

"It is estimated that he is more or less ill. I don't care if a villain dies, but if his death will cause a greater disaster, it is better to live for two more days." Lu Ning said.

The other five names were unknown to anyone here. Lu Ning guessed that the other teams should know. She took out her mobile phone, and Bai Huan was still connected to the communication safely and reliably, and the call she made was connected.

The first is Lu Jiangyang.

She asked several names in turn, and quickly confirmed her conjecture.A person named "Wen Tai" here is a Taoist priest Qi Xugang met before, but his level is not high, and his actions are reckless.Qi Xu just parted ways with him after helping each other once, but his impression was quite deep, and he didn't expect to be on this list.

Lu Ning explained a little why she asked this question, and also asked about the other party's movements.Lu Jiangyang and Qi Xugang could no longer make phone calls. They also came to Baligong long ago and encountered the same situation. They also chose a Baligong at random and walked in.

After that, Shi Danong gave a similar answer. The person they knew was Zhang Chengyi on the list. This person was a college student who went out from a small village. He was very famous in that village. Shi Danong had seen his photo, and it was said that he was Find a job in a big city.

In the end, Tian Yang was in a lot of trouble, and it took Lu Ning a long time to convince them that she was able to make the call, not some ghost pretending.Even so, Tian Yang hardly disclosed any information, but only confirmed that they knew one of them named "Fang Ping".

"It's exhausting to make a phone call..." Lu Ning let out a long breath after hanging up the phone, "It is true that everyone has entered Baligong, but they have also entered different Baligong. The problem here is still not clear. These People do seem to have something to do with the experiences of our classmates, or... have something to do with us."

"But the Valley of Seven Colors has been basically confirmed to be a plan to summon the prison?" Xin Mi asked Duan Ye.

"I can't think of any other possibility." Duan Ye answered briefly.

"Then, what about the plans mentioned above that are at the same level as the Seven-Color Valley? Isn't summoning the Hades Prison their ultimate goal?"

"It doesn't look like it." Lu Ning sighed, "The president has been assigned to the project of Seven Colors Valley, where is the fake president? What project is he in? Our Solitaire shouldn't be meaningless, right? ? It is estimated that it is also related to the arrangement here."

"Then let's smash the other three too!" Deng Zhiyi said enthusiastically.

There was no objection in just two seconds, and she ran out the door. There was a loud bang and click outside, and I don't know how many doors were also in trouble.

"It's really defenseless here..." Long Tiangang said in a deep voice.

"To be honest, if we didn't know these people and experienced the Red Prison, we wouldn't be able to infer anything from these documents." Lu Ning replied, "I think the other three would be nothing even if we found them. The matter will never be put on the surface.”

In fact it is.Even though Deng Zhiyi smashed down several doors, everyone spent a lot of time looking at the information, but the result was still looking at various documents that looked like ordinary project plans and arrangements.

"Let's go to the third floor." Yan Zidan rubbed her eyes a little dejectedly. Her eyes hurt from searching for a long time, so she couldn't help but look up at the window, "Isn't it still daylight?"

"Strange..." Deng Zhiyi, who was near the window, opened the curtains, "I can't see any light at all!"

"Let's continue the investigation in preparation for the dawn." Lu Ning had already made preparations, "Go upstairs."

The difference between the third floor and the downstairs is also not very big, only the group offices are decreasing, and more are various departments... For a travel agency, the division is too detailed.

The fourth floor is the last floor. Originally, this place was rebuilt. Its height is not high, and the area is just that.Just as Lu Ning was about to go up the stairs, she was suddenly grabbed by the shoulder. She turned her head and glanced: "Mr. Duan, what do you mean?"

"I'll go up here first." Duan Ye's expression became serious, and Lu Ning naturally didn't dare to underestimate him, and immediately moved out of the way.Duan Ye pinched a trick in his hand, stepped lightly, and started to go upstairs at a very slow speed.It was still dark, and the pitch-black stairs felt inexplicably oppressive. Lu Ning and the others followed Duan Ye, but they didn't dare to follow too closely, and were ready to retreat to the third floor at any time.

Going around the corner, nothing happened.

Lu Ning smelled a stronger dampness, like the smell of tatami after being damp for a long time, with a slight musty smell. This kind of smell floated down from upstairs, faintly, and once it was noticed, it made people feel a little uncomfortable.

"Leave."

Duan Ye suddenly uttered a word softly, and stepped on it at the same time.Before everyone could react, a ray of fire burst out from the position where he stepped on, and quickly burned to the stairs. At this moment, a gust of wind blew down from the upstairs with a large amount of green powder, and the flame quickly melted into powder. Mix together, and then there is a violent dust explosion!
Boom!

Even Duan Ye was unsteady and took two steps back, and the rest of the people were dizzy from the shock. Lu Ning, Deng Zhiyi, and Long Tiangang had already drawn their weapons and started to cooperate.

"Stand back!" Duan Ye roared loudly, and then took another step, "Shock!"

The thunder exploded with his footsteps, sweeping away the remaining green powder. The Taoist priest was finally willing to take action. At this time, he already had a black dagger in his hand. In the stairwell illuminated by the flames, , but the dagger still does not reflect any light.

"Taoist priest, you should be careful when you do things, and you have to stop when you have to." A slightly old female voice came from upstairs, and everyone couldn't see it from the angle, but Duan Ye obviously saw it, and just sneered.

"You are not a person who seeks the truth, and you do not pursue any justice." The female voice continued, "The three floors downstairs have given you enough information to deduce, don't try to go up, don't try to find something deeper..."

"What you look like is a deeper end, right?" Duan Ye said, "What's the reason for this? Isn't it good to live as a person? If you have to become this kind of ghost, what's more normal? A better life?"

"Taoist, you have to know that this is the worst policy." The female voice replied, "If it is not desperate, it will not be like this. However, this place is just a deception, the only empty city, even if you can break through this layer, it is just to obtain our plan that has been abolished ,useless."

"What exactly does Baligong want to do? Although I don't know much about it, I already know that their business scope is too broad based on this information. Who can tolerate such an approach?" Duan Ye raised his black Sword, pointing to the stairs, "Tell me, what is the purpose of this act of disturbing the Yin and Yang realms?"
