"Have no intruders been found?"

Chen Wu's brow was clouded with suspicion, even doubting whether the Deep Sea, which had taken over the building, was a trustworthy "false system."

He watched with his own eyes as the "other party" cut the rope and escaped.

Although he didn't see the real figure clearly... he could be sure that the other party was in that elevator!

Now, after taking over the entire building, the Deep Sea actually told him after scanning... no intruders were found?

What a joke!

"Repeat, no intruders found."

"Cancel the alarm."

"Cancel the alarm."

The flashing red light slowly returned to calm.

All the security personnel and workers looked at each other in dismay, staring blankly at the building that quickly returned to silence... no one in the building knew what had happened.

It all came and went quickly...

Like a farce.

More like a joke.

......

......

Nanwan Building, 19th floor.

A pile of messy files, as well as old, damaged computers, desks, and chairs, were piled up in a not-so-empty room, a closed and seemingly long-unvisited storage room.

The door of the storage room was closed heavily, and the blackout curtains that had been closed for years blocked all sight, and no one could see the scene inside the storage room.

No one could see the teenager sitting among the clutter.

Gu Shen's forehead was covered in sweat, and he stared ahead with lingering fear... Chen Wu's figure had given him a great psychological shadow. This guy was as sharp as a wild dog. At the moment when he looked out of the elevator, he thought he was in a desperate situation.

The Deep Sea took over the building for less than ten seconds.

His only choice was to jump out of the elevator while Chu Ling still had access... in fact, at the critical moment, the two of them had the same idea. Gu Shen had just thought of jumping out of the elevator.

The rapidly falling elevator door was forced open.

This was his last chance. Gu Shen decisively escaped at the moment when Chen Wu was stepping on the descending elevator.

This building, the floors not linked by the Deep Sea... not only the 39th floor.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread dot com".

But also the 19th floor.

Where he was now, the "storage room."

"Chen Wu didn't follow... he didn't catch my action of jumping out of the elevator."

After waiting for a few seconds, Gu Shen took a deep breath. He was very sure that if his escape was seen, Chen Wu would have caught up by now.

Choosing the 19th floor was the right decision.

Now that the Deep Sea has fully taken over the building, Chen Wu should still be in a state of doubt. He needs some time to figure out the situation.

Gu Shen got up. Time was especially precious to him at the moment, and there was no room for any waste. In fact, he was also curious about why Nanwan Building had five places that were not linked to the Deep Sea... If the 39th floor where Ye Ningqiu was located had secrets like a closed-circuit host, then what could be stored on the 19th floor?

After the Deep Sea took over the building, Chu Ling's voice did not sound again.

Gu Shen didn't know what price Chu Ling would have to pay to replace the Deep Sea's link to Nanwan Building, but he knew it was not an easy task, and the risk was extremely high... the elevator, surveillance, the sky eye of the well, and the false alarm would all be reported by Chen Wu.

After completing the link this time, Chu Ling might need some time... to deal with the subsequent loopholes.

The exploration of the 19th floor had to rely on himself.

Gu Shen took a deep breath and lit up the room with a torch.

The storage room was very small.

The clutter was piled up in a disorderly manner, but from the degree of ash covering... it seemed that these were not old items. Items that had been placed for a long time would often be covered with a layer of ash.

Someone had been here not long ago.

Gu Shen opened some cardboard boxes and old desks and chairs, and as expected, he saw a narrow dark door passage.

"Another hidden door..."

Gu Shen squinted, feeling hesitant.

The torch faintly gave him a bad feeling.

With the building now sealed, he had no choice but to escape to the 19th floor, and the most urgent thing was to escape quickly... but the Deep Sea had fully taken over Nanwan Building, and he seemed to have no choice but to continue forward.

"The torch faintly gives me a bad feeling. Could there be something more important hidden behind this hidden door than Ye Ningqiu's secret?" Gu Shen frowned slightly, holding the Ruler of Truth in one hand and the Six Fortunes Bead exposed in the other.

Gu Shen decided to move forward with determination.

If something unexpected happened, the Six Fortunes Bead would protect him.

If it really didn't work, he could only try to jump from the 19th floor... Gu Shen's intuition told him that this was the worst course of action. The man named Chen Wu was likely to be watching the building and forcibly breaking through would mean exposing himself.

There was a great chance of being caught up next.

"Phew..."Gu Shen crawled forward, it's hard to imagine that there is still such a hidden door on the nineteenth floor... It's more like a corridor for imprisoning prisoners, extremely oppressive, and the height is also very low, it seems that it is not meant for people to walk...

Winding and twisting.

Who would have thought that beneath the glamorous exterior of Nanwan Building, there is such a place?

"We're almost there."

After a difficult five minutes of crawling.

The winding passage finally reached its end, and the blazing fire summoned by Gu Shen had been leading the way ahead, dispelling the darkness and opening up the field of vision.

And when he poked his head out of the passage, a creepy feeling came over him.

Something cold touched Gu Shen's cheek.

"Drip."

It was a drop of blood.

Viscous, but bright red, like a red agate.

Gu Shen looked up and saw a slender figure hanging in front of him, a young woman with a neck as white as a swan pierced by an iron hook, her face a bloody mess.

From a distance, the woman was as beautiful as a work of art.

But upon closer inspection... this work of art was full of the breath of death.

A strong sense of nausea rose in Gu Shen's heart, but he held back the nausea, crawled out of the winding passage, and the blazing fire illuminated the secret behind the nineteenth floor's hidden door... It was an extremely narrow secret room, the iron door was locked with a long lock, it seemed to be connected to the outside world because the wild wind would occasionally blow in, but the stench inside the room still lingered.

"...Someone died here."

Gu Shen stared at the hanging person, wanting to see the other person's face clearly... but the face of the deceased had been destroyed, leaving only a crimson mess.

Wait a minute.

This appearance... he had seen it before.

In Zhou Yexin's dream, Zhou Yu died like this, with countless garbled characters covering the man's face.

Was it done by the Bloodfire Master?

At the moment he saw the corpse, Gu Shen was already sure that his investigation plan was absolutely correct. Although the closed-circuit host of the thirty-ninth floor had not been dismantled, this corpse... already proved that the Bloodfire Master was closely connected to Nanwan Building.

In a place not linked to the Deep Sea, there was such a corpse.

This was no coincidence.

Gu Shen held his breath and approached slowly.

His face was a little pale, not because of a lack of mental strength, but because the scene in front of him was somewhat eerie, the contrast between white and darkness, death and holiness, was visually conflicting, filling the small secret room.

"How long has she been dead..."

The surface of the woman's body seemed to have been dusted with a layer of powder.

Gu Shen couldn't get any useful information... was this a way to preserve the body? Time seemed to have stopped flowing on her, which was the origin of the artistic impression.

He did not touch the woman.

Gu Shen was extremely careful as he crawled along the passage.

After confirming the storage room on the nineteenth floor, someone had been here not long ago... he began to clean up the traces. Before entering the passage, he deliberately restored the debris used to cover the hidden door.

In any case, he couldn't let the intruder discover the traces of his "visit."

If the Bloodfire Master held the power of the Longevity Foundation for a long time, and this woman was related to him... she was most likely a sacrifice to satisfy the Bloodfire Master's private desires.

So the one who visited here must be a fanatical follower of the Longevity Foundation.

The news of the invasion of the building would soon spread.

So this "follower" would definitely come back here again for an inspection.

After seeing the secret of the secret room, Gu Shen did not hesitate, he was ready to leave.

Knowing the existence of this secret room was enough for him.

Everything here could not be taken away.

The game with the Bloodfire Master... was actually an information war, and every hidden card he concealed gave him a better chance of winning.

Gu Shen slowly approached the iron door, he grabbed the long lock, unlocking it was not difficult for him, the difficult part was to eliminate all traces... his mental power slowly swept out, probing the outline of the lock core, and the Truth Ruler transformed into a long steel wire, slowly turning with his fingers.

"Click."

The iron door of the secret room was opened.

It connected to a small open-air terrace, only enough for a person to stand on... since the secret room was not linked to the Deep Sea, it was not within the monitoring range, so this terrace was naturally not in the "eyes" of the Deep Sea.

The night was dark.

Gu Shen squeezed his body and came to the terrace, closed the door of the secret room, and relocked it with the Truth Ruler, slowly tightening the lock.

He closed his eyes and slowly recalled.

Confirming that all the traces of his visit had been erased.Gu Shen leaped backward, transforming the Scale of Truth into a slender cable. As he plummeted at high speed, the cable tightened and yanked him to a halt.

Gu Shen released his grip, and the cable dissipated.

Raising his hand once more.

The cable shot out like a spider's thread.

He swung with the momentum, swiftly skimming past the exterior of the skyscraper, soon vanishing into the night.

What Gu Shen didn't see was—

Inside the secret chamber on the nineteenth floor, the suspended woman in white, as if stirred by the wind.

She slowly turned around.

Accompanied by the clicking sounds of the iron hook rotating.

That blood-smudged face, slowly aligning with the direction outside the chamber, the way Gu Shen had departed.
