Reborn as a beautiful girl, I want to be the best in the world

"Who asked you to come to me? Tell me!"

There is something weird about this matter, and Ye Qing must figure out what is going on.

"Yes, it's your sister..."

Chapter 7 The surging undercurrent

Ten years ago, Tianqiao City was an unremarkable small town until a local enterprise was established in this small town.

Although the small town is still a small town, the company has taken root in the local area and even in surrounding cities, and soon became a well-known company.

The company has gained a certain reputation in various places, but the headquarters has no intention of moving to a big city. It only set up a number of branches in major cities, while the company itself still stubbornly stays in a corner of Tianqiao City.

Although a tall building looks out of place in such a small city, local residents soon got used to it.

However, the company's actions also brought a lot of fame to Tianqiao City, and became a joke for the company in the media. As a result, the name Tianqiao City appeared in people's eyes like an appendage of the company.

Ten years later.

Cities will develop, and small towns are even more so. The existence of the enterprise itself is like a shot of adrenaline injected into a dilapidated town. The bungalows and shops in Tianqiao City have been demolished and rebuilt over the past ten years, gradually revealing the prosperity of this small town. The company's building has also been rebuilt, but unexpectedly but reasonably, it did not choose a new site. It still stubbornly demolished the original address, and enclosed a lot of land with the original site as the center to build a more luxurious park.

Today is the tenth anniversary of the company, and a grand celebration party will be held on a floor of the headquarters building. Chu Xingge is a dispatched person to provide security for the company's headquarters.

Mei's Restaurant - 5th floor

Although the personnel sent were well-trained and well-equipped, Chu Xingge and his team believed that there was no doubt whether an accident would occur that day. Don't be ridiculous, this is not a war era, and that company is not a third-rate enterprise. Their own security department can easily deal with those who want to cause trouble.

As for their employment, most people think that they are just playing a role like a guard of honor. They express their importance to the party through pomp and attitude.

"You said we don't take this party seriously? We even arranged a professional security team to patrol the empty floors and assist Chu Xingge and his security department in maintaining order on site." Chu Xingge, who was sitting in the car, could even imagine what they said to the reporters.

However, Chu Xingge at that time did not know what exactly happened in that building that day.

The party was held on the eleventh floor, but the initial changes started on the third floor. Chu Xingge was the leader of a team and was responsible for the security of the sixth floor. Although he was the leader, he was just following the routine to place those people at various important roads and let them patrol. During the communication every fifteen minutes, there was suddenly no news from the people on the third floor.

Everyone started to be alert, there must be something unknown on the third floor. Unless the leader in charge of communications on the third floor skipped work and went to the toilet to take a shit during patrol, and then the walkie-talkie accidentally fell into the pit and was flushed down with it.

But now even if I tell Chu Xingge that this is indeed what happened, Chu Xingge can't laugh. Chu Xingge and others will chop off the head of the person in charge of the third floor and flush it into the toilet, letting him find the damn intercom by himself.

First of all, we initially ruled out the possibility that the incident was caused by outsiders. The personnel on the first and second floors said that everything was normal, and the entrance to the building was strictly guarded, and outsiders without ID cards could be easily identified. Besides, if they sneaked in from outside, there was no reason to expose themselves on the third floor.

After reporting the situation via the intercom, the instructions given were for everyone to stay at their posts, and an additional investigation team had been dispatched to investigate the situation on the third floor.

Chu Xingge touched the scabbard at his waist. Holding the solid handle seemed to give him a sense of security. Chu Xingge continued to walk in the corridor as if nothing had happened, but the air in the corridor became more and more solemn.

Until the change happens

Fifteen minutes later, in another round of communication, the people on the fourth floor also lost contact. Everyone who came here was not bad at fighting, and because of this, everyone could easily see that this matter could no longer be glossed over with the attitude of dealing with daily events. Continuing to walk in the corridor, a haze gradually enveloped everyone's heart.

Fifteen minutes later, a new round of communication time. As everyone guessed, the people on the fifth floor also lost contact. Something was moving upward along a regular route from the third floor, and the people who encountered it didn't even have time to call for help. To say that they were not afraid at all was just a pretense, it was just the most basic professional quality that prevented them from running away on the spot. What was more worrying was that no further instructions were given from above. Although the communication lines between the patrol team and the investigation team were different, there was no instruction to carry out auxiliary tasks. Just a vague statement of "please continue patrolling" made people feel that they had become a chess piece destined to be eaten in the chess game.

The route on the opposite side was full of fanfare, with no intention of hiding, as if a child was rushing straight up without any hesitation. Others, including Chu Xingge, were patrolling while preparing for battle. The quiet and silent atmosphere spread like a barrier in the corridor on this floor. It was as if all the pores were open, and the physical and mental tension brought about the strengthening of the five senses. Chu Xingge gripped the hilt of the knife and walked quietly in the corridor. In an instant, it seemed as if all the movements around him were in sight. There was no sound around, only his heart was still beating strongly.

I don't know how much time has passed, I don't know how long I have been walking. It was not until the sound of a call on the intercom that the heavy atmosphere receded like a tide.

Didn't it come up? Chu Xingge thought to himself. It seemed that the thing was staying on the fifth floor, without any movement. Walking on the smooth corridor, the atmosphere was quiet and peaceful. But when I thought that the person under my feet was already dead or alive, I couldn't help but feel like I was dreaming.

Just as I was feeling relieved, the person in charge of the seventh floor fell silent during the routine communication.

And in the silent confrontation just now, there was clearly nothing unusual seen in this passage, and not even any sound was heard.

"Fuck it." Chu Xingge cursed.

Chu Xingge pulled out the intercom and opened the connection line with the command level.

"I'm from the security team on the sixth floor. What's the situation now?"

There was no response from the other end of the intercom.

"Chu Xingge is the leader of the security team on the sixth floor. How is the investigation going?"

The only sound in the corridor was the rustling of the intercom.

Chu Xingge turned off the walkie-talkie and looked at the team members who were patrolling with him.

His complexion was not good at all, and Chu Xingge knew that his complexion was not much better now.

"Now you understand the situation. This matter is beyond my scope of handling."

"So," Chu Xingge continued to say to his colleagues. "First of all, today is not April Fools' Day. People who are missing won't joke about this. And I can't afford all of your lives. I'm just a team leader. I didn't buy all of your lives. So I won't stop you from staying or leaving now."

"But Chu Xingge wants to go up and take a look." Chu Xingge said to the people around him. "Chu Xingge relies on this for a living. If he runs away now, he won't be able to make a living anymore."

In the end, three or two people decided to go up with Chu Xingge, and the rest had no intention of leaving, so Chu Xingge and the others left the sixth floor together and walked up the stairs.

If you want to reach the main venue on the eleventh floor by stairs, you must first pass through the seventh floor that just lost contact. When they were almost at the corridor on the seventh floor, several people slowed down their pace and looked carefully. The escape door on the seventh floor was tightly closed. There was no sign of allowing people to pass through. The interface for reading ID cards was out of power and it seemed that it could not be opened no matter what; and the door handle for manual opening could be turned, but it was limited to turning. It was as if there was a latch stuck behind the door, and no matter how hard you pulled, it could not move at all.

A man came forward and stretched out his hand toward the door, as if he was going to knock on it. Chu Xingge stepped forward to stop him.

"It's very evil here. Let's meet up with the people above and then come back to see what's going on down there."

Going up, the eighth floor, the ninth floor, and the tenth floor. At the entrance of each floor, you can see the corresponding people on duty. Seeing Chu Xingge and the others coming up, they were a little too nervous and obviously overreacted. But after saying hello, they went up easily.

As we approached the main venue, the quiet atmosphere was quickly replaced by the noise of music and the crowd. The members of this company were still celebrating at the party. It seemed that they were still unaware of the unusual movement downstairs.

But isn't this all a bit too peaceful? No, not only the partygoers, but even the staff on duty didn't seem nervous at all. This doesn't make sense.

Too many people will only make noises, so Chu Xingge arranged the others to wait for Chu Xingge for a while. Then he stopped someone and asked him casually. Chu Xingge soon found the security captain of the eleventh floor in the monitoring room. The captain looked at Chu Xingge who pushed the door open, and Chu Xingge also looked at him straight in the eye.

This was the first time Chu Xingge looked at him seriously. Judging from his appearance, he could be described as a loyal and honest man. His resolute expression made people feel that it was not surprising to see this big face with thick eyebrows in some positive news.

He looks like a spy. Chu Xingge suddenly thought without knowing why.

"Why did you come up suddenly? Is there a situation down there?" The captain stood up with a sheathed long sword hanging on his waist.

"I couldn't contact anyone, so I came up here." Chu Xingge asked him back. "Such a big thing happened down there, aren't there any actions from above?"

"What happened?" He looked at Chu Xingge, frowning, with a hint of confusion in his eyes. "Chu Xingge just finished communicating with the headquarters, everything is normal."

"How can it be normal? Haven't several floors lost contact?"

"Lost contact? We've been in contact all the time. If you don't believe me, come here. I still have the recording in the line." The captain walked to the table and clicked the mouse, as if he was retrieving some file.

"How is that possible?" Before Chu Xingge could finish his rebuttal, the communication from the intercom interrupted him.

This is a message from command.

"Attention all units, members from levels three to seven have lost contact, their whereabouts unknown, and the reason for their disappearance is unknown. The reinforcement team is ready, and security personnel will immediately begin crowd evacuation."

The middle-aged man seemed to be stunned for a moment as if he suddenly didn't react, but he quickly returned to his normal expression.

Chapter 8: Song of the Journey

The entire venue was not very large, and there were quite a few people setting up the main venue. After the order was issued, the party was quickly suspended. The lights in the main venue were brightly lit, and in an instant, the leftover food and the slightly dirty ground at the party were all illuminated and magnified. The entire venue no longer had a celebratory atmosphere. In order to avoid various accidents, the members participating in the party were gathered together waiting to be evacuated. Although the people who could participate in this party were all direct members of the company, it was obvious that quality was not linked to personal ability. There were all kinds of discussions in the crowd, and there were some offensive words. But fortunately, there were many people maintaining law and order, so overall there was no trouble. Either because of the use of force, or because they felt at ease because of the use of force, all work was going smoothly.

In order to prevent any accidents from happening during the evacuation, the captain organized a team from the personnel on the eleventh floor to conduct a simple inspection of the corridor when the crowd was gathered. In this way, after the inspection of the corridor was completed, these people could be evacuated in an orderly manner. Chu Xingge thought so wishfully. Having said that, another idea quietly emerged in his heart that Chu Xingge did not want to think about.

"Will this really go so smoothly?"

As if to confirm Chu Xingge's statement, the crowd in the main venue began to stir and scream.

This incident originated from a man in the crowd. He was wearing a suit that looked expensive just from the fabric. His skin was well-maintained, and he wore a pair of thin-framed glasses. It looked like he had used mousse to carefully style his hair before going out. Perhaps he was a leader of some size in this large company, and he had a pretty good life. But now, this well-dressed and well-groomed man knelt on the ground and vomited.

People will vomit when they are overly nervous. This is a protective mechanism of the human body against self-destruction.

Perhaps the young office ladies around him had comforted him when he first started vomiting, but when he was still retching desperately after he had vomited out all the food and juice in his stomach, the women were also confused.

When several security guards noticed something was wrong and pushed the crowd away, the vomiting man had already curled up on the ground. He was pale and holding his stomach, retching continuously, as if something was destroying his body.

When you try to induce vomiting, you usually won't vomit right away. You'll dry heave a few times first. When you reach a certain limit, a strong nausea will make you vomit out the digested food in your stomach. And this man seemed to have reached a certain limit. The man with the shiny hair lay on the ground for a moment, then he vomited blood and some unknown pieces of meat with a wow. Soon, he gradually stopped vomiting and lay in a pool of blood.

The man died in front of Chu Xingge and the others in a ridiculous and horrible way. The others could not suppress their nausea and began to vomit when they saw this scene. Several weaker women vomited and cried at the same time. The scene was not aesthetically pleasing but very exciting.

The scene was in chaos, and even the faces of the people who were maintaining law and order changed significantly.

Chu Xingge felt more terrified by this strange scene than the nausea in his stomach.

Given the current situation, it would be more accurate to say that the building was attacked by some kind of gang rather than some kind of paranormal or supernatural event.

Chu Xingge had read a lot of novels, and the current scene unfolded just like some ordinary third-rate and vulgar novels. At the beginning, there was a team of very capable people in appearance and manner - writing elites were read as high-level extras.

They were involved in some magical supernatural event, and then died in the supernatural event without any help. Then this place will become a copy waiting for the protagonist team to come in and refresh. The author who is willing to spend some time on this part will even describe the feelings of the high-level extras who can only accept the cruel facts and die tragically, in order to earn some tears from readers or simply enrich the details.

But if this analogy is really used, Chu Xingge, as a minor character, can't laugh at all. Although Chu Xingge's skills are better than others, they are only within the range of ordinary people. If Chu Xingge really encounters such a strange thing, he will not be much better than others.

After all, if Chu Xingge hadn't come up on a whim to take a look just now, he would probably have been listed in the list of missing persons, the last one in the string.

Fortunately, the others were just experiencing normal adverse reactions after seeing such a scene, and the only person who died was the man just now. But this can only be said to be a blessing in disguise. After experiencing this commotion, most people were restless and the order of the scene became even more chaotic.

The team that checked the corridor quickly and simply scanned it, and after confirming that there were no common safety hazards, they returned to make a report. The captain evacuated the crowd in an orderly manner, and everyone started to get busy, except Chu Xingge, who was not assigned any work.

Chu Xingge, who was about to run away with the crowd, was stopped by the captain.

"Don't leave in a hurry, we still have other work to do." The captain looked at Chu Xingge and said slowly.

"I have made all the arrangements here, just follow me." The captain looked at Chu Xingge and said slowly.

I had no choice but to follow the middle-aged man in front of me to leave the main venue, walk through two small paths, and come to a hidden elevator entrance.

"There is a special client upstairs, and we are here for a mission related to him." The captain took out an ID card from his pocket and placed it on a touch screen next to the elevator. After receiving the signal, the elevator on the bottom floor of the elevator shaft quickly rose in front of Chu Xingge and the others.

After entering the elevator, the elevator here was different from other elevators in that it used electronic screens. The captain directly pressed the highest button on the screen. Chu Xingge took a look and saw that it was the 22nd floor. According to the information sent down, the highest floor of this building was only 20 floors.

However, Chu Xingge was not very concerned about this matter at this time. Since the elevator could be used, could it go to the floor that had lost contact?

The captain closed the elevator door, and the elevator quickly began to rise, and he leaned on the handrail in the elevator as usual.

"The 22nd floor is not open to the public. Even a normal work ID will only show floors one to twentieth, so a special pass is required to swipe open it." The captain pinched the ID card with two fingers, shook it at Chu Xingge, and put it in his pocket.

"Yeah." Chu Xingge agreed.

"Thinking about the floors that lost contact?" The captain leaned against the handrail and thought for a moment. "Don't think about it. This matter is not as simple as you think. Even if we use the elevator to go down now, we probably can't reach those floors."

"Why?" Chu Xingge looked at the man leaning against the armrest. It seemed that this man was not completely ignorant of this matter.

"There was a sentence like this on the Internet, which is surprisingly appropriate to use now." The captain stood up from the armrest.

"What?" Chu Xingge asked

"I understand, I understand." The captain laughed as he spoke, as if he was telling a joke.

Seeing Chu Xingge's unhappy expression, he coughed twice and said seriously.

"It's almost time. This is not something that can be explained in a few words. Chu Xingge will tell you when there is a chance."

The elevator dinged and the metal door slowly opened, revealing the appearance of this floor bit by bit - the little-known appearance of this company.

"This is the 22nd floor, a little-known part of this company." The captain walked out of the elevator door and talked to Chu Xingge as he walked. "It is also the real research department of this company."

What is hidden in this secret floor that no one outside is interested in? The president's unknown past? The secret formula for the company's success? Or something unimaginable?

Unlike the other floors of the headquarters, which looked trendy and elegant, the corridor in front of me was extremely ordinary. Just like the corridors of two- or three-story rental houses in the alleys on the roadside, the two walls on the left and right were only about two or three meters wide. The white-gray walls that looked like they were plastered with lime were covered with black tiles at the bottom. The floor was marble. The light source on this floor came entirely from the white light tubes on the ceiling.

Very... simple is Chu Xingge's evaluation. This place is indeed simple, simple and weird. The captain added in front.

Hurry up and keep up, don't get lost. Chu Xingge found it a little funny. Even if you ask a child to come here, they won't get lost, let alone someone like Chu Xingge?

The captain glanced at Chu Xingge. "This place is very weird. Why do you think this company never opens this place? Do you think no one has ever disappeared here?"

Chu Xingge was speechless for a moment, unable to utter a single word. He just walked forward to catch up with him.

Chapter 9 A World Beyond Common Sense

The corridor was surprisingly short and soon reached the end. At the end of it, there was a wooden door.

The door at the end of the corridor was no different from the wooden doors on both sides of the corridor, but the captain took Chu Xingge directly to this last room without even looking at it. He must have some simple way to identify it.

After opening the door, the room inside was very plain, just like a simple hotel on the roadside. There were solid wooden desks and chairs, a computer on the desk, wooden floors, white walls, and a simple single bed. There were no extra decorations or furniture at all.

A young man was sitting on an office chair, and he didn't react in particular when he saw them coming in. Considering that this floor belonged to a confidential project, not only were their every move under surveillance, but the man in front of them was also not ordinary.

You are here. The young man operated the computer for a few times, and seemed to shut down the system. Then he stood up and straightened his white coat. Then Chu Xingge and the others, let's go.

The captain nodded, but did not move. He just stood there and continued to talk to the young man. No hurry, the plan has changed, and the primary goal now is not to evacuate.

The captain paced slowly.

"The superiors gave me this plan in secret, and you probably haven't received it yet."

“What’s the plan?

The superiors said that before evacuating the important targets, several important documents must be transported out, which is why Chu Xingge and his team came to you first. The captain suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath, and his movements were extremely swift. This posture reminded Chu Xingge of some Japanese warriors who were good at sword-drawing techniques that he had seen in online videos before. In just a moment, he cut off the young man's left arm, and the white long sleeves flew out with the red broken arm.
