At 6:53 pm, Chen Xiao, who failed to sleep for the 1095th time, changed his clothes again, put on his backpack, and pushed open the door of his house.

He is a punctual person. Since he has agreed to meet someone at 6:55, he will not be late.

Unless he was able to fall asleep just now.

Chen Xiao pinched the spot and walked through the long corridor between the door corridor and the elevator hall, and came to the elevator hall on the 16th floor. When he entered the elevator hall, the time on the bracelet jumped to 6:55.

The man in a white coat whom he met almost an hour ago was already waiting here. Like Chen Xiao, he also carried a bag on his back and held a hand-held flashlight in his hand. Seeing Chen Xiao pushing open the wooden door between the corridor and the elevator hall and walking in, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with some surprise:

"I didn't expect you to be quite on time."

"I've said it all, I've always been honest and trustworthy."

Chen Xiao looked at him without changing his face, then looked down at his bracelet:

"It's six:55 now, and it's officially night in five minutes. Let's wait here for a while and then move until seven o'clock."

The man in the white coat had no objection. As long as he could see the truth of the night, he didn't care about anything else. Perhaps he was about to see the night he had been waiting for for a long time, and while waiting, the man in the white coat took the initiative to ask Chen Xiao for his name.

The two introduced themselves to each other, and Chen Xiao also learned that the man in a white coat in front of him was named Liu Mingjie. He was originally from Xindu District, the city. He worked in a pharmacy. Later, somehow he believed some nonsense about government conspiracy theories and was sent here.

"I must use these eyes to record the secrets of the night." Speaking of his own experience, Liu Mingjie said with confidence: "Then, I must leave this quarantine area, return to the city, and tell the public everything I encountered here!"

"Then you have to come on." Chen Xiao did not comment. He lowered his head and saw that the time on the bracelet had reached 6:59.

He looked at his bracelet intently, then raised his head as the number of the bracelet jumped to exactly seven o'clock and said to Liu Mingjie:

"let's go."

"ah?"

Liu Mingjie was still curiously studying his bracelet that changed from blue light to red light. After hearing Chen Xiao's words, he had not reacted for a while. However, after Chen Xiao finished speaking, he had immediately pressed the door button of the elevator and walked into the elevator, and he could only follow him.

As soon as he entered the elevator, Liu Mingjie discovered something wrong. The temperature inside the elevator was obviously several degrees lower than outside. In addition to him and Chen Xiao, there was another woman in the elevator. The woman was wearing a red uniform and a red round hat on her head. Strangely, in this bright elevator, it was difficult for Liu Mingjie to see clearly what the woman's face looked like. Her face was covered in the shadow of the brim of the hat.

"who is she?"

Liu Mingjie asked Chen Xiao in surprise:

"It's also a resident in this building? When I first came up, I obviously haven't seen her yet."

"She is the elevator lady here." Chen Xiao asked back: "Have you heard of the elevator lady?"

"Of course I know what the elevator lady is." Liu Mingjie said: "Why didn't you see her during the day?"

"I only work night shifts." Chen Xiao turned his head and said to the elevator lady: "Right, Cuihua."

"Cui, Cuihua?" Liu Mingjie looked at the so-called elevator lady in surprise.

However, "Cuihua" did not care about Liu Mingjie's rude behavior. She made a low voice, cold and numbly asked:

“Where are you going?”

"sorry."

When Liu Mingjie heard the tone of "Cuihua", he thought she was expressing her dissatisfaction with him, so he quickly apologized, while Chen Xiao immediately said:

"Let's go to the eighth floor of Building 3, Jingxiao Huating."

Jingxiao Huating is the name of the community where Chen Xiao and the others are. To be precise, this is the name of this community ten years ago. The official name of this community is the third detention area.

After hearing Chen Xiao's words, "Cuihua" immediately stretched out her hand and pressed the eighth floor on the elevator keyboard.

Although Liu Mingjie, who was standing aside, was a little surprised by Chen Xiao's overly accurate description, he didn't say anything more because of the embarrassment just now.

The elevator started to operate and began to slight shaking and weightlessness. The numbers in the screen above the elevator door also began to change constantly, and soon arrived at the eighth floor.

As soon as the elevator opened, Chen Xiao rushed out as if flying. Liu Mingjie looked at "Cuihua". He originally wanted to apologize to her, but Chen Xiao also pulled him out.

Liu Mingjie was staggered by Chen Xiao and almost fell to the ground. After the two left the elevator, "Cuihua" in the elevator immediately closed the elevator door.

"what?!"

After finally standing firm, Liu Mingjie immediately glared at Chen Xiao.

"Come out as soon as the elevator arrives."

Chen Xiao replied with a smile:

"Cuihua doesn't like others staying in the elevator for too long."

"I'm not going to stay in there." Liu Mingjie said angrily: "I just want to say sorry to others."

Chen Xiao looked at him with his hands in his pockets, smiling without saying a word.

Liu Mingjie was uncomfortable by Chen Xiao's smile and quickly changed the subject:

"Okay, I'm not going to blame you... Why do we come to this floor? Is there any special place on this floor?"

No wonder Liu Mingjie asked this question too much. The buildings in Jingxiao Huating community are all narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. They look like two rectangular building blocks of different sizes stacked together. The floors are different in area, so the apartment types are also different.

Chen Xiao and Liu Mingjie live in both upper floors, with only four houses on one floor, all of which are large flat floors with a wide area. On the eighth floor, there are all small living rooms, distributed along a back-shaped corridor, distributed on the left and right sides of the corridor, so the corridor is much longer than on the sixteenth floor.

However, after listening to Liu Mingjie's question, Chen Xiao replied: "It's all the same building, and there's nothing special. If you want to see the special things at night, you can actually do any floor."

"Then why did you bring me here?" Liu Mingjie said in confusion.

"Well... Actually, there was a small misunderstanding between me and my neighbor on the 16th floor."

Chen Xiao said shyly:

"I borrowed something from him last week. If he saw me now, I'm afraid he'd be messed with."

"What neighbor, so awesome."

Liu Mingjie frowned and said:

"You borrowed his stuff and explained it to him later. Wouldn't it be enough to return the stuff back? As for why you don't even dare to go in that floor?"

"That's a night owl, it will only come out at night."

Chen Xiao replied:
