Chapter 37
He Shu smiled, as if he didn't see her drinking from an empty cup.
"You forgot? Qing Ru, I'm He Shu, the newcomer who just arrived last week, from the finance department, I greeted you in the work group, and I even sent a red envelope at that time, you're in the best of luck. !"
Liang Qingru was stunned and a little embarrassed: "There have been too many things recently, look at my brain! Why did you come back so late?"
"Like you, work overtime!" He Shu sighed, "Since I joined the company, I have a lot of work that I can't finish, and I don't know a few people until now, or I'll wait for you to finish and go with me, you can give Let me introduce?"
Liang Qingru smiled and said, "There are one or two hundred people on our floor alone. How can we finish introducing them?"
He Shu: "Just talk about some important people in a few departments. Our finance department has to deal with people from various departments all day long. Our boss threw all the work to me, but I couldn't name a single name. Awkward!"
Liang Qingru was concerned: "That's right, I remember that the boss of the finance department is Sister Cai. She is a bit strict, and you must be under more pressure when you just went."
He Shu took out a handful of dried fruit from his pocket.
"Do you eat?"
It was from Zheng Qi's dim sum tray just now.
Liang Qingru shook his head.
He Shubian started to nibble and chatted with her while watching Liang Qingru typing blank documents there.
She seems to have forgotten her own death, or, in other words, her soul is trapped here, repeating the familiar trajectory in the dead of night.
He Shu had encountered such a ghost a long time ago. It sounds scary, but it's not scary, as long as you find the right time to reveal the fact that she is dead, and then save her.
But Liang Qingru's death was not so simple.
Judging from Zheng Qi's previous description, it seems that there is some kind of uncontrollable force in Xinhuan Building, which causes people to die every year.
Only by finding out the truth can the problem be solved.
Liang Qingru may be the breakthrough point in this series.
He Shu was patient and chatted with her slowly. Liang Qingru also completely regarded He Shu as an acquaintance he knew, put down the estrangement and gradually became acquainted.
After half an hour, Liang Qingru was finally tired, she shut down and stretched.
"I've kept you waiting, let's go back, and I'll tell you when I'm waiting for the elevator."
"Okay!" He Shu stood up and clapped his hands, clapping off the crumbs from one hand, "You just said that Sister Cai is strict, I was just about to ask you, does she have any hobbies? I'll go flatter her some other day!"
Liang Qingru sighed, "If only I had the same troubles as you when I first came in!"
He Shu: "It's not too late, you introduce me to someone, and I'll teach you what to do."
Liang Qingru laughed and walked out of the company one by one.
"I seem to have forgotten my phone!" Liang Qingru sighed, turning around and preparing to turn back.
He Shu grabbed her. "I just saw that you put your bag away, check it again."
Liang Qingru lowered his head to check, and said embarrassedly, "It's true, I'm really dizzy working overtime."
The two walked into the elevator, and He Shu pressed the first floor.
"You said just now, what does Sister Cai like, playing badminton?"
He Shu said casually, but did not wait for an answer.
Liang Qingru was tightly twisting the strap of the shoulder bag with both hands, and she was very nervous.
"Are you okay, what's wrong?" He Shu asked.
Liang Qingru didn't speak, her eyes were fixed on the beating of the elevator floor numbers.
21, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14...
Ding dong!
The elevator stops on the fourteenth floor.
He Shu could feel that Liang Qingru who was beside her was about to jump up almost instantly, her back was directly pressed against the elevator wall, her expression changed from nervousness to panic.
"How can you……"
Liang Qingru grabbed He Shu's arm violently and interrupted him.
"If someone comes in, you immediately follow me and rush out!"
She spoke quickly, and just after she finished speaking, the elevator door slowly opened.
Sure enough, there was a woman standing outside.
A black top hat, a black dress, and even black high heels.
The other party lowered his head slightly, and the brim of his hat just blocked the place above his chin.
He Shu couldn't see clearly at first glance, but when he tried to take a closer look, he had been dragged out by Liang Qingru.
"Run!"
Liang Qingru rushed out like a gust of wind, with some strength, he almost pulled He Shu into the air.
He Shu had no choice but to follow her and flee the elevator.
When he passed the woman in the black dress, he couldn't help but look at her face under the brim of her hat.
I still can't see clearly, but there is a sense of familiarity, as if have seen it somewhere.
Liang Qingru was so strong that she dragged He Shu all the way to the stairs at the end of the corridor, and ran up several floors. She didn't stop until the two of them ran into a small meeting room on the eighteenth floor.
"Do you know that woman?" He Shu asked.
Liang Qingru ran for so long, but she wasn't out of breath like He Shu, she was just out of sheer fear, her whole body was pressed against the wall, she almost shrank herself into the wall, her face was paler than before.
He Shu wanted her to calm down, but found that his hand on the other's shoulder was missing.
He quietly withdrew his hand.
"Qingru, what's the matter, you talk."
"That woman, don't go near her!" Liang Qingru trembling for a long time, spit out this nonsensical words.
"Did she ever bully you? I can teach her a lesson for you."
Liang Qingru shook her head frantically, speaking incoherently.
"Don't get close to this woman, she has been chasing me before, every time she catches up with me, I just... It's very uncomfortable, I was very uncomfortable at the time, my whole body hurts, it hurts for a long time, the surroundings are all black, and my bones seem to be It's like breaking..."
She slowly slid down the wall, hugging her knees into a ball.
"I cried out for help, but no one came. I was in pain for a long time. The woman told me that no one would come to save me, which made me die. I don't want to be caught by her, I don't want to hurt anymore..."
Liang Qingru sobbed while speaking, not even daring to cry loudly.
He Shu squatted down in front of her.
"Liang Qingru, I'm here to save you."
He stretched out his hand to the girl, the palm of his hand had just been cut by himself, and a symbol was drawn with blood.
But Liang Qingru didn't seem to notice, she raised her head and stared at He Shu blankly.
"I can save you, are you willing to come with me?"
His smile seemed to warm Liang Qingru and touched her.
Liang Qingru slowly stretched out his hand and placed it on He Shu's palm.
This time, with the blood talisman in his palm, He Shu really held her hand.
pat, pat, pat.
The sound of high heels, from far to near.
Liang Qingru was startled, and subconsciously wanted to retract his hand, but He Shu grabbed it tightly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
He was afraid that Liang Qingru would disappear like this and would never be found again, so he didn't dare to let go of his hand, and moved his body directly to the front.
"Let's run, let's run!" Liang Qingru was so frightened that he kept urging.
"Who is she?"
"I do not remember!"
"You must remember!"
The sound of footsteps was close at hand.
Outside the glass door, a slender figure walked slowly and stopped at the door.
"I found you, the game is over."
The woman raised her head, and He Shu finally saw her face under her hat.
"It's you?!"
The woman gave him a weird smile.
"There is also an unexpected gain, which is very good."
Liang Qingru behind He Shu was already shaking like a sieve.
Don't look at her as a ghost, there is also a big gap between ghosts and ghosts. Liang Qingru doesn't remember that she is dead, she even treats herself as a human being, and keeps repeating the trajectory of her memories before her death, and she can't resist the slightest sense of resistance.
But what shocked He Shu was that he had an impression of this woman!
On the night of the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, he received an order to go to the outskirts of the city. This woman was the passenger at that time!
The woman who caused a huge change in his life, everything started from her!
Even though it was very dark and he couldn't recognize that face, the voice was very familiar!
"What a good boy, go out and bring back the prey."
The woman stepped past He Shu and gave Liang Qingru a look of approval behind him.
"I didn't, I didn't..."
Liang Qingru murmured softly behind him, she was even afraid of being heard by the woman, so it could be seen that the other party left a huge shadow on her.
He Shu was not interested in wasting time with this woman, so without further ado, he just used his other hand to make a seal!
"break!"
This is the top-level one-word technique in the way of speaking, and it is also called "speaking must be practiced".
The great power who is really proficient in this way is said to be able to cover the sky with one word, and the ground with one word, causing wind and thunder to shake the sky, and all ghosts and gods are shocked and worshiped.
But He Shu is only a mortal body, and every time he uses it, he needs to consume a lot of energy. He used it a few times before and the effect was not satisfactory. This time, he began to secretly accumulate energy before the other party came in. Hit the opponent's forehead with the handprint!
The woman let out a scream, and a flame quickly appeared on her forehead, and then spread all over her body. The flame quickly burned her whole body, and the skin and clothes peeled off like a wall, and finally piled up black ashes on the ground.
He Shu let go of Liang Qingru's hand, wiped off his sweat, adjusted his heart rate by breathing, and smiled back at her.
"You see, she's no big deal."
Liang Qingru's frightened expression did not disappear because of this, she shook her head.
"She won't die, she will come!"
Just as the voice fell, another voice sounded outside the glass door.
Pat, clack, clack.
It was the familiar high heels again.
Sure enough, it came again!
He Shu turned his head abruptly.
The woman in the black dress reappeared, smiling evilly at the two of them.
He Shu felt that something was wrong, so he turned to look at Liang Qingru.
The latter huddled in the corner with his eyes tightly closed, already lying flat and waiting to be killed.
In a blink of an eye, the woman had already stretched out her hand to grab it, and her sharp black nails were in front of He Shu in a blink of an eye.
He Shu didn't have the energy to use the spell anymore in a short time, so he turned around and ran, grabbed Liang Qingru with one hand, and the two of them circled around the small conference room and rushed out.
Liang Qingru's footsteps were heavy and he resisted passively. He Shu pulled her with great difficulty, but felt that the weight in his hands was getting heavier and heavier. After running for a while, he didn't seem to be dragging a person, but an elephant.
He Shu was furious, turned around and shouted: "If you don't wake up, you will die!"
Liang Qingru was still confused and panicked.
He Shu directly dragged her into the next room, closed the door, and pressed her against the door with his backhand.
"Liang Qingru, you are already dead! Now everything is about you being trapped in the building and repeating your behavior before you were alive. It's time for you to wake up!"
The girl's body trembled slightly.
"I am dead?"
"You're dead." He Shu affirmed.
He originally wanted to find a suitable opportunity to slowly wake up Liang Qingru, but He Shu found that it was too late. While Liang Qingru repeated his behavior again and again, his soul was also dragged into a deeper cycle, and was tempered in fear again and again. , and eventually become a part of here.
Liang Qingru shook his head: "How is it possible, are you dead too?"
He Shu: "I'm not dead. I'm here to save you. You worked overtime that night and had an accident. Did you forget it?"
That evening……
"No, you are talking nonsense! You are talking nonsense!"
Liang Qingru didn't seem to want to think about it at all. She kept denying it, but her body's memory was gradually awakened.
The skin on the face began to crack and fall off, the left arm was suddenly broken, and then the right arm, stopped at the waist...
The whole body softened like mud, and the blood soaked the clothes that were originally bright and decent. Her face was already bloody, and she couldn't see her original appearance.
"Why do you say it... I'm not dead, I'm still alive... I don't want to die!"
Her voice gradually became resentful, and the blood wrapped around He Shu's limbs as if it had vitality, and her mutilated body was attached tightly, refusing to let He Shu break away.
"You hug me, okay, I'm cold..."
The sound of high-heeled shoes approached from behind.
The woman was like a very patient hunter, not in a hurry to catch prey, but wanted to enjoy the fun of cat-and-mouse from them.
He Shu felt like a sandwich biscuit, with a jackal in front and a burden behind.
"Liang Qingru!" He shouted, "Think about your relatives, think about yourself! Do you want to be stuck here forever, unable to get out, and never see your parents?!"
His face covered in blood and tears was slightly dazed, as if he remembered something.
He Shufei said quickly: "Your only chance now is to kill with me from here, so that you can be completely freed!"
