Chapter 75 Elevator Horror (2)

The heels of her high heels collided with the metal floor, making a crisp echo. She nonchalantly rolled over the live broadcast device and said, "I'm just a passerby, just here to have fun."

Her tone dragged out like melted caramel, but she stepped on it harder. "You don't want to turn around, and you don't want to cover your face. If you want to film it, put your face on the ground and let me step on it. If you have no shame, I won't be on camera."

When it comes to arrogance, Patriarch Su has never lost.

"Hiss." Lei Qingya sucked in a breath of cold air. Her twitching mouth was reflected on the glass of the signboard. Su Ninglong was too domineering.

I don’t know if it’s a system requirement or if that’s just Su Ninglong’s personality.

If it's a system requirement, then her acting is awesome. If it's not a system requirement, then it's even better, she's acting naturally, and she's inherently strong.

The silver-haired female blogger's carefully styled bangs were brushed to the sides, "Let go of your feet. Can you afford to pay for it? This is MI's latest holographic live broadcast device."

"Not to mention a live broadcast device, I can even buy one in the mall to play with." Su Ninglong chuckled.

"Everyone can brag."

"It's better than you bluffing and asking for help without even saying please."

The food blogger lost control of her emotions and hysterically shouted, "Give me back my livestream." The elevator was filled with her shrill voice, "You're just going to watch her bully me?"

Onlooker: “???”

You didn't fight, you just had a few arguments, and you want a stranger to take sides with her. Are you sick?
Su Ninglong said spoiledly, "Don't speak to me loudly. I was raised in a pampered way and can't stand being scared."

They were really good at quarreling. Lei Qingya quietly took a step back to avoid the dispute.

Glancing at the two people who were on the verge of a fight, I realized that Sister Su was not only intelligent, but also very good at verbal sparring.

The system requires that her character cannot be OOC (out of character behavior and personality). Perhaps considering Lei Qingya's acting skills, the system gave her a standard template.

[Do not initiate social connections unless the other party initiates the conversation.]

So now is not the time to "recognize relatives".

"It's so noisy." The young man leaning against the other side of the door crossed his arms and said in annoyance, "Trivial matters can cause such a big fuss."

The Suninglong high heels were gently retracted, and the live broadcast equipment was suspended and reset again.

The food blogger picked up the live broadcast device and wiped it with a distressed look, blowing away the dust. He stared at Su Ninglong fiercely, "Just wait, my fans won't let you go."

Su Ninglong raised her eyes and smiled playfully, "Fan violence falls under the category of incitement to crime. If I were to encounter online violence or a human flesh search, the first person I would prosecute would be you."

This counterattack obviously did not take the boy's sarcasm to heart and was still neat and decisive.

"Two minutes have passed, which is beyond the normal fault response time." The short-haired young woman was wearing a gray neutral suit. Her voice was steady and cold. After she made the announcement, she pressed the emergency call button. Her action was decisive and gave people a sense of efficiency.

After a while, "Hello, what can I do for you?" A deep male voice suddenly sounded from behind Lei Qingya, almost triggering her fighting instinct.

Soon, she found out it was just a false alarm.

The sound came from the communicators on both sides of the signboard, and his tense shoulders relaxed slightly. It was just the answering device of the mall security.

The capable woman with short hair said, "The elevator malfunctioned. It's been stuck for about two minutes, stuck at..." She paused, frowning and staring at the blank screen. "It seems the positioning isn't working. We don't know which floor it's stuck on. Didn't the intelligent system report the malfunction?"

"Please wait, we will check it." Generally, when an elevator breaks down, the intelligent system managing the shopping mall will issue a warning.

This time it didn't happen, and security personnel had to investigate the reason.

"Excuse me, which elevator are you trapped in?"

There are too many surveillance cameras in large shopping malls, and if the intelligent system suddenly stops responding, they need to use their naked eyes to search.

"After pressing the emergency button, there's no indication of where the faulty staircase is located?" the food blogger suddenly interjected. "We're not from the mall, so how would we know where the staircase is?"

The security guards refused to answer technical questions, saying that this was not their concern. They should ask the technicians about system issues. They are security guards and are only there to ensure that nothing happens to the people calling for help.

"There are notices posted inside the elevator, with the elevator number next to them. Please search carefully."

Everyone looked around, and the short-haired, capable woman found the precautions, but the elevator number sticker had been torn off.

"No, there is no elevator number here."

The security guard thought they were joking and said, "If you don't want to delay the rescue, please tell us immediately."

Everyone looked at the old lady. If you ask who knows the shopping mall building better, it must be the cleaning staff.

The capable woman with short hair asked: "Auntie, do you know which area the elevator is in?"

The old lady pinched her work badge with her withered fingers. "I... don't know."

"You're a cleaner, and you don't know?"

"I'm only responsible for delivering the cleaning tools upstairs." The old lady's hunched back became even more hunched under the nine gazes. "My son is responsible for delivering the cleaning supplies every week. He's not available today..."

"Speak louder." The security guard couldn't hear what they were saying.

"F7, Block 3, walk from north to south. Take the sixth elevator on the left-hand passage."

The other nine people looked at her in surprise. Gu Xiangren licked his lips, hugged his priceless camera tightly and asked, "Have you been here many times?"

"Very familiar." Su Ninglong smiled without saying anything. The map was memorized in his mind, so it was very familiar to him.

The security guard on the other end of the phone successfully obtained the location of their elevator. "We saw you on the surveillance camera. Please wait a moment. We will contact the mall's senior repairman."

"Well, if you want to find a senior repairman, I think I'm here." The man standing next to the old lady raised his mechanical prosthesis. There were wrinkles of varying depths at the corners of his eyes, blue stubble covered his jaw, and his sleeves were badly worn.

He looked unkempt, not like a repairman but more like a poor homeless person.

The security guard was overwhelmed. "I'll ask Xiao Chen and Lao Qian to go take a look."

The senior mechanic sneered, "Relying on two hourly wage earners? Why not just report the emergency to the fire department?"

It is impossible to call the fire department. Repairing elevator failures is the shopping mall's responsibility. The intelligent system cannot detect it, so the shopping mall should bear a great responsibility.

The holographic screen reflected his distorted face. The elevator system had been iterated more than ten times, but the core intelligence was still the old model from decades ago. As a result, the program was not very compatible.

The government rectification notices had piled up in a thick stack in the database, but the mall, relying on its technicians to back it up, kept delaying the process until now. Not wanting to hear the repairman's nonsense, the security guard hung up the phone and cursed.

There was more than one security guard in the bright monitoring room. The young security guard sitting next to him asked, "Brother, this has never happened before. Could there be a problem with the intelligent system..."

"So what if there are problems? Do you know how much it would cost to reinstall a new intelligent system? Replacing the global intelligent hub is just a matter of recoding and reinstalling thousands of sensor nodes, which is a massive undertaking. Besides, many new intelligent systems now control robots to perform continuous patrols. The mall originally only needed a hundred security guards, but by the time they're deployed, you're just going to be sitting around waiting for death."

If robots with guard functions were not expensive and required a cumbersome approval process, and if humans were not as flexible as they are in dealing with sudden conflicts, bosses would have replaced them with robots to take over security long ago.

The young security guard kept silent. He didn't want to be optimized by the shopping mall. The salary here was not high, but the benefits were good and it was a leisurely time. Looking ahead to the next few decades, he would never be able to find such a suitable place to lie down.

Repairman Xiao Chen and security guard Lao Qian, who were called by the security captain to repair the elevator, walked slowly and didn't know how long it would take to reach the faulty elevator.

During this time, the people in the elevator finally couldn't stand the long silence.

Gu Xiangren spoke again and asked the repairman, "You are a repairman, don't you know why the elevator broke down?"

"With no tools and people trapped in the elevator, you think a mechanic is omnipotent?" The mechanic's attitude was aggressive, as if covered in thorns. He stuffed his hands in his coat pockets, his bloodshot eyes scanning the floating live broadcast device, then looking at Gu Xiangren's camera. "You rich people, how can you understand the hardships of working people?"

Gu Xiangren didn't get angry at his attitude. Instead, he raised his camera and said, "Do you want to take a picture? I'm an interstellar traveler, an ordinary person who likes to record human stories."

"What do you mean by traveler? Aren't they all bloggers? Just changing the name can make you look noble. Why do you Guxiang people always like to act so high and mighty wherever you go?"

After mocking the ancient incense, the food blogger regained control of her livestreaming equipment and resumed her livestream, posing and posing. She pouted, looking a little naive, and said, "Look at this antique elevator, everyone! Even the sensors aren't working... Yeah, I've got an elevator malfunction. So unlucky. It's okay, no need to tip me. I just need your company. I'm really scared, trapped in this cramped place..."

Lei Qingya's big toe kept digging in her boots, and she was so embarrassed that she moved towards Su Ninglong. This girl dressed in a two-dimensional style was not unlovable, but her behavior and language were different from those of ordinary people.

She couldn't understand and could only respect and stay away.

"What's the name of this cool young lady?" Su Ninglong asked proactively.

Lei Qingya touched the brim of his baseball cap to hide his inner excitement.

Sister Su will be her god from now on. How can a four-year-old be so smart that he can guess and take the initiative to strike up a conversation?

"My name is Pan... Pan Xiaoxiao." If she still called her the judge, others would immediately recognize her as the web hunter.

Unlike Lian Xinyi, she was not able to rely on her intuition to avoid danger. There were ten people here in total. Before entering the copy, it was known that five of them were net hunters. In other words, it was impossible to determine whether the other five were human or ghosts.

If you reveal your real name, you will be swallowed up. This may be the most frustrating way to die in the history of online hunting.

"There's such a big contrast between you and your name." Su Ninglong and Lei Qingya quickly formed a "team."

Su Ninglong's image at this moment is so beautiful. Through the reflection of the black light on the poster, she can see her current facial features and dress, which can be summarized by the word "gorgeous".

Pulling partners together can give people a sense of "security", and most ordinary mortals will do so.

They occupied a corner inside the elevator, while others were also quietly "forming teams".

The short-haired, capable woman and the young man next to her rarely communicated and just stood aside symbolically.

The swearing and noisy teenager teamed up with a dark-skinned strong man. The teenager was chewing gum, with his hands in his pockets, and his clothes zippered down to the middle of his chest, revealing his fair and strong chest.

The burly man had an honest face. He would occasionally pull at his tight shirt, rub his hands, and make small movements constantly, like an unqualified bodyguard.

The food anchor and the old lady were alone.

Just by looking at appearance, words and actions, it is impossible to tell who is the Net Hunter and who is calculated by Zhisuan No. 1.

There might be a mysterious spirit hidden in this small elevator. Su Ninglong thought it was fun, like a reasoning game.

After standing for a long time, Su Ninglong felt pain in her toes. After she went out, she wanted to complain to Zhisuan No. 1, saying that high heels were too tight for children.

Leaning her elbows on the elevator handrail and shifting her weight to one foot, she planned to take turns.

The food blogger was still lingering in this small space with her sweet voice. She herself might not have noticed it, but everyone else felt very annoyed and was shocked.

The boy couldn't stand it any longer, "Can you please stop whining for a few seconds and stop polluting your voice? It's disgusting."

"I didn't make advances on you. It was in a public area. I didn't provoke you or annoy you. It doesn't constitute a crime. Your words were too harsh." The food blogger said, and then he actually taught his fans in the live broadcast room: "When you are out there, your identity is given by yourself, and your face is earned by yourself. Don't be a coward, stand up bravely..."

Damn, I want to hit someone.

The young man's face darkened visibly, and an indescribable wave of power was floating around him.

This boy has special abilities.

The power fluctuation lasted only two seconds, and the boy put away his anger.

The tip of the tongue, holding the chewing gum, slowly moved between the teeth, and a signal of severe poison seeped out of the pupils.

"You're just trying to attract attention, you have no unique characteristics, you complain without reason, and you love to tell people what to do. Filters and makeup can't hide the fact that you're ugly. You're even worse than this young lady. Believe it or not, if you turn the camera around, your traffic will increase dozens of times. Admit it, not only is your appearance unacceptable, but your soul is also boring and rotten."

The food blogger who had dressed herself up beautifully suddenly changed her expression. She had never experienced such harsh criticism in real life.

"My fans are not as superficial as you." She turned the camera and aimed it at Su Ninglong.

Su Ninglong: “???”

No, you guys are arguing, why are you dragging me into this?

Also, how can people who like me be considered superficial?

Lei Qingya felt that this copy would be a game of humanity. The elevator malfunction had been going on for less than ten minutes and conflicts were already brewing.

There is no peace between people.

She thought about it and decided that she should stand firmly by Su Ninglong and show her loyalty.

Immediately put up her hand to block the camera, "Ms. Blogger, this is rude."

However, the camera only captured Su Ninglong for a few seconds, but the popularity of the live broadcast room soared, and what the boy said came true.

The barrage of comments kept lobbying the food blogger to give the young lady more shots.

The beautiful blogger forced an ugly smile and turned the camera back to herself. While blocking the camera with her hand, she glanced at Su Ninglong unwillingly.
