I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 851 Broken Surveillance

The old man had remained calm since he met him, but when he talked about the meeting room, his expression became uncontrollable.

Fear, worry, confusion...

Countless emotions flashed across the old man's face, and his pupils began to tremble, moving around helplessly.

What caused this always calm old man to react like this?
"Just because the surveillance is broken?"

Li Luo looked at the old man's strange behavior and felt a little confused.

"Are you okay?" she asked carefully.

Hearing Li Luo's question, the old man trembled and came out of his uneasy state.

"it's okay no problem……"

He raised his wrist with a trembling hand and looked at the mechanical watch.

"It's time."

Evening, seven o'clock sharp.

As the second hand passed the 12 o'clock mark, the old man looked towards the meeting room where the disappearance had occurred.

however……

The expected sound did not come, and there was still silence all around.

The bubbles in the sky swayed slowly, and the glow of neon lights permeated every corner of the research institute. The conference room that once caused a sensation in Dream City just stood there quietly, allowing the colorful lights to pass through it.

Silence, still silence.

The old man looked at his watch and frowned.

The uneasiness that had just recovered began to brew again, and the old man's body began to tremble uncontrollably again.

He opened his lips slightly, as if he wanted to let out a cry of surprise, but his old throat could only squeeze out a few hoarse moans. The hot air from his mouth blew onto the dial of the mechanical watch, covering it with a layer of misty water film.

The old man's pupils dilated again, his breathing became rapid, and he slapped the mechanical watch in panic, but the pointer on the mechanical watch was still turning clockwise little by little, getting further and further away from seven o'clock.

"Crack, click, click."

The old mechanical watch is turning towards the unknown.

"It's seven o'clock, why hasn't the bell run yet?" He muttered softly, his voice trembling a little.

"Young man, is my watch out of date?"

He looked at Li Luo and asked in a daze.

His eyes were full of expectation, like a lost traveler sending a signal for help to Li Luo.

Li Luo looked at the time on the electronic screen, swallowed, and decided to tell the old man the truth.

"Your watch is very accurate."

After she answered, there was another brief moment of dead silence between the two of them.

Li Luo looked at the conference room and said comfortingly, "Don't think too much. Maybe the surveillance has been repaired."

"No one has come to repair it..." the old man muttered in a low voice.

"These electronic products are like this. Sometimes they break down suddenly, and sometimes they work again. It could be that the components inside are in poor contact, or the power supply load is insufficient... There are many possible causes for this, so don't worry too much."

Li Luo saw that the old man's condition was not right, and hurriedly looked for various explanations.

It is very common for monitoring to be sometimes good and sometimes not. It is something that is not maintained often, so it is normal for problems to occur.

"Really? Young man...it's the electronics that are the problem?"

"Yes." Li Luo said affirmatively.

"I knew these things were unreliable. If I had someone watching inside, these problems wouldn't have occurred."

"You are right..." Li Luo kept agreeing with the old man.

With Li Luo's comfort, the old man's anxiety was relieved a lot, but he still stared at the meeting room, looking very concerned...

After a while, there was still no sound.

The building just stood there quietly, exactly the same as when I first saw it.

Li Luo looked at the old man and began to think about what reasons he could use to comfort him.

But as she thought about it, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

"How come the surveillance is already in place when I just got here?"

wrong……

Li Luo suddenly thought of something and looked at the cube.

She seemed to have found the culprit.

……

Observation is the only way to stop those voices from coming out.

Whether there is someone in the meeting room or a surveillance camera is installed in the meeting room, it can prevent strange noises from coming from the meeting room.

As long as someone can "see" what happens in the conference room, nothing will happen.

And "looking" is exactly what Mo Ling is best at.

At this moment, Mo Ling's vision spread across the conference room, examining this not-so-big room without any blind spots.

"No sound at all?"

Mo Ling hadn't noticed what was happening outside the building, nor had he noticed the torment the old man was going through. All his attention was on the banquet in the center of the conference room.

Mo Ling had only seen the text description on Li Luo's electronic screen before, but now that he saw the crime scene of this strange disappearance case with his own eyes, he was still very excited.

He felt like a detective exploring a mystery, carefully searching for clues left at the crime scene...

"so fun."

There was nothing particularly strange about this conference room. If you didn't tell people that it was the crime scene of a missing person, no one would think that there was anything wrong inside, and no one would think that the "atmosphere" in the room was wrong.

This is an ordinary room. Because it is spacious, it is used as a meeting place. On one side is a screen that can be used for projection, on the other side are some sundries, and in the middle is an ordinary long table.

Perhaps because of the spacious location, this place was used as a banquet venue. The long table was filled with food and some decorative embellishments. The tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks were neatly arranged, just waiting for people to take their seats.

But the conference room was empty. The "guests" who were supposed to be present had disappeared without a trace. Mo Ling even looked at the second floor of the conference room. It was filled with all kinds of sundries and there was no space to hide people.

Looking at the food on the banquet, it was still emitting heat.

A light white mist slowly rose up and dissipated under the soft light of the conference room.

When I thought that these foods have been here for twenty years and are still "steaming hot", a weird atmosphere suddenly came over me.

There were no signs of fighting in the meeting room. Although it looked a bit messy due to the banquet arrangement, it was generally tidy and clean. The food and dishes on the table seemed to have been specially arranged. It was not known whether they were arranged by someone later or if they had been like this from the beginning.

"No one should destroy the scene..."

Looking at the warm food, Mo Ling felt more and more strange. After observing for a while, he controlled his vision and moved closer to the food.

He wanted to take a closer look at these "expired foods" that had been stored for more than 20 years to see why they could still remain warm.

Unconsciously, Mo Ling's vision was deeply immersed in a roast chicken.

The meat is delicious, cooked at the right temperature, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sizzling with oil...

It looks no different from a normal roast chicken fresh out of the oven.

Looking at the delicious roast chicken, Mo Ling swallowed.
