Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 723 The Test of Courage Begins

It’s ten o’clock in the evening and the night is dark.

Four luxury buses stopped downstairs of the Jinmu Building.

A group of young men and women got off the bus, talking and laughing. The oldest one among them looked less than 40 years old.

Although there were four buses, there were only about fifty tourists here. Some of them were carrying snacks, some were holding cameras, and some were entangled with each other.

The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, without any tension.

Two twin girls who looked and dressed exactly the same found a good angle as soon as they got off the car and started taking selfies, making the entrance of the Jinmu Building flash non-stop.

A pale-faced, long-haired man lifted his trouser legs and complained: "What kind of place is this? It's so dirty. I want to go home..."

"You dare to leave, aren't you afraid of getting beaten?" his best friend next to him said with a smile.

The long-haired man thought of his old father wielding the stick with great vigor and skill, even more fluently than the monkeys on TV, and swallowed his saliva.

Many of the people who came to participate in the Test of Courage were forced to come by their elders, so they had little interest in the Test of Courage and just wanted to complete the task quickly and leave.

As soon as everyone got off the bus, a hunchbacked old man in security uniform came over with a flashlight.

"Dear young people, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Welcome to the Golden Eye Building."

The hunchbacked old man's face was covered with brown age spots, and he spoke weakly, as if he was about to die...

This person is played by Liu Laonian.

A woman in a white sportswear with a serious expression said, "Old man, you are an employee of this courage test conference, right? Although it is agreed to start at 12 o'clock, since we are here early, can you arrange for it to start earlier?"

Liu Laonian said slowly, "Girl, what are you talking about a courage test? I don't understand. Aren't you hired by Boss Liu?"

"Boss Liu?"

The woman in white, Xu Shuang, was stunned for a moment, then she realized that this old man should be the NPC of the Test of Courage Conference, and now he was trying to bring everyone into the plot.

"Kamume Building?"

At this moment, Xue Lianying, the oldest man in the team, suddenly asked in a trembling voice:
"Wait a minute, you said this is the Golden Eye Building?"

The long-haired man Liu Suiyang turned around and asked, "Brother Xue, do you know this dilapidated building?"

Xue Lianying licked his lips and said nervously, "This is not a shabby building. Ten years ago, this was a branch of a large consortium. The consortium's business is spread all over the world, and this building is just an office building for the branch."

"But suddenly one day, this big consortium disappeared, and the Jinmu Buildings in various places were also closed. I had a deep impression of this place because I had business dealings with this consortium."

"It is said that a tragedy occurred in the Jinmu Building that day, and all the people working in the building became..."

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. These are just rumors. There is no credibility."

Xue Lianying's behavior of leaving words half-sent caused a lot of complaints from the crowd.

Huang Shiyin, the older twin sister, joked, "Brother Xue, you are not a spy for the Test of Courage, are you deliberately trying to scare us before the Test of Courage begins?"

"If you don't believe me, forget it. Everything I said is true." Xue Lianying held the hand of his female companion Xu Ruolan and stopped talking.

The slightly plump boy Meng Fusheng raised his hand and said, "I have an impression of this place too. When I was a kid, my family was poor and I went to school nearby. Everyone would rather take a detour than go home from here."

With the words of Xue Lianying and Meng Fusheng as evidence, everyone began to feel a little uneasy. Although they did not believe what the two said, the seeds of doubt had been planted.

Moreover, the aura of the Jinmu Building is indeed completely different from other places. After feeling timid in my heart, fear arises spontaneously when I look at this building.

A couple who were less courageous wanted to change their minds. They turned around to leave, but found that the bus that brought them here had already left, and the blue iron sheet around the Jinmu Building was surrounded again. Liu Laonian saw that everyone had quieted down, so he continued to advance the plot.

"Since everyone wants to start early, then let's start early. Please follow me and we will introduce the situation as we go."

"Follow closely, this building is very big, if you fall behind it will be difficult to find you."

Liu Laonian led everyone into the Jinmu Building. He walked in front with a flashlight, while everyone used their mobile phones for lighting.

As soon as they entered the building, everyone felt a chill.

This kind of coldness is commonplace for family members, but for these young masters and young ladies, it is a completely different experience.

Xu Shuang, a woman in white working at the hospital, comforted everyone, saying, "Don't be afraid, it's normal for this kind of building to be a little cold. The morgue in our hospital is much colder than here."

The long-haired man Liu Suiyang trembled and said, "Sister Xu, you'd better stop comforting me. You are different from us."

Influenced by the atmosphere of the building, all the tourists became well-behaved, allowing Liu Laonian to explain the pre-arranged plot.

"No one knows the truth about the accident ten years ago, but due to the impact of the accident, this building cannot be developed and utilized."

"Later, my boss bought it and I was hired as the building's security guard."

"In addition to guarding this building, the boss also asked me to help find some small dolls. There are more than fifty of them, scattered in the corners below the tenth floor of this building."

"I want to find it too, but my eyesight is blurry. How can I find that kind of thing?"

"Luckily you guys are here today. You young people have good eyesight, so you will definitely be able to find all the dolls..."

Listening to Liu Laonian's background introduction, everyone frowned slightly.

Looking for specific things in a secret room is a common routine in various haunted houses and secret rooms, so no one finds it strange.

Before they were tricked into participating in the test of courage competition, they had more or less developed similar hobbies, so they were quite adaptable.

But aren’t more than fifty puppets exactly the number of people like them?

Is this really a coincidence or is it a script arrangement?

Liu Laonian led everyone all the way to the tenth floor and stopped in the lobby.

"This is the tenth floor of the Jinmu Building. You can start looking now. Remember to look on the tenth floor and below. Never go above the tenth floor..."

Xue Lianying, the oldest, asked curiously, "What's upstairs?"

Liu Laonian shook his head: "I don't know about that. I have never been there. I heard from my boss that the last security guard disappeared on the eleventh floor, so I never take risks."

After saying that, Liu Laonian turned off the flashlight and slowly backed away into the shadows.

The long-haired man Liu Suiyang quickly chased after him: "Hey, don't leave yet, give me some more hints, or leave your flashlight behind."

But after he took a few steps, sweat started to break out on his head.

Because in just the blink of an eye, Liu Laonian disappeared from the darkness without leaving any trace.

Liu Sui Yang used the light from his mobile phone to shine on the ground, but did not find any mechanism. Moreover, Liu Laonian's footprints disappeared halfway, as if he had flown away!
Bang!
Suddenly, there was another loud noise and the people behind made frightened noises.

"The stairs, the door to the stairs we came from is locked and can't be opened at all!"
