After that, song qingxiao pressed the elevator button again.
Dr. Hu’s body was pressed against one side of the elevator, facing her. As song qingxiao pressed the button for the first floor, the elevator fell. Dr. Hu’s body leaned against the elevator wall and trembled. When it hit the elevator, it made a soft ‘ka ka ka’ sound that made one’s hair stand on end.
His face was dark green and purple, and his eyes were gray as if covered with a layer of mucus, looking unspeakably ferocious.
Song qingxiao didn’t look up at him. She took out the long whip from her waist and held it tightly in her hand.
The elevator reached the first floor and made a ‘ding’ sound. It was not only a reminder to song qingxiao, but also a reminder to the glasses man hiding on the first floor.
The elevator door slowly opened with a ‘dang’ sound. Light seeped out little by little through the gap of the open elevator door. It was pitch black outside, like a beast from hell with its Black mouth wide open.
The first floor had only been empty for a few days, but the desolation and gloominess it exuded was not something the second floor could compare to.
After the elevator door opened, the faint light that seeped out seemed to be unable to dispel the haze, and the fine dust in the air floated under the light.
Song qingxiao’s figure was elongated under the light. Even if she tried her best to restrain herself, the sound of her footsteps could still be clearly heard.
Unlike the layout of the second floor, the entrance to the elevator on the first floor was in the corridor. On the left side of the corridor were the control room, activity room, and temporary examination room. On the right side was the hall with more space for activities.
The air was filled with the unique moldy smell of a closed room for a long time, mixed with a faint rancid smell and the smell of blood, which mixed together to form a nauseating smell.
The bodies of doctor Zhou and the others were temporarily placed in the main hall. Patient four had fallen from the safety stairway on the fourth floor. After being left there for a few days, the body had started to rot. It was difficult to block the smell even with a mask.
The bespectacled man had been hiding here for a few hours. He was definitely more familiar with the first floor’s environment and habits than her.
She turned around and looked at her surroundings. It was so quiet that she could only hear her own breathing and heartbeat. She could not hear anything else.
There seemed to be a pair of eyes in the dark, coldly watching her movements.
After the elevator door opened for a long time, it closed automatically with a ‘clang’, and the little bit of light was slowly swallowed up by darkness again.
Out of instinct, song qingxiao raised her arm to block the elevator door that was about to close. The elevator sensed that there was an obstruction, and the door opened again with a clang. Song qingxiao’s hand that reached into the elevator grabbed Dr. Hu’s clothes. She wanted to pull him out to block the door, but when her fingers touched Dr. Hu’s body, she had an idea and pulled her hand back.
Song qingxiao was in the light, while the bespectacled man was in the dark.
Light allowed her to see her surroundings clearly, but at the same time, the existence of light also exposed her target’s location more easily.
She held back the nervousness in her heart and watched the elevator door slowly close again until the last trace of light disappeared and the surroundings were dark.
Song Qing’s back was pressed against the wall, and her heart was beating fast. Her throat was dry from nervousness. She licked her lips and moved to the left.
In the dark, she didn’t even dare to breathe, and she didn’t even dare to blink. The soles of her shoes rubbed against the ground, making a ‘Sha Sha’ sound.
As soon as she noticed the voice, she stopped and the surroundings became quiet again. Song qingxiao heaved a sigh of relief and forced herself to calm down.
At this time, she and the bespectacled man were both on guard against each other. Everyone was waiting for an opportunity. The bespectacled man was trying to lure her down the stairs with his tricks, and she had already lost the opportunity.
In a situation where the bespectacled man might have a gun and could even use poison, if she panicked again, it would be no different from courting death.
She closed her eyes, which were sore from staring for a long time, and then opened them vigilantly the next moment, looking around.
The notification in his mind did not change. It was still:Protect the people and kill them if they fail.

She calmed down and adjusted her state of mind. She picked up the whip and began to feel her way forward.
She had already figured out the layout of the first floor when she entered the trial scenario. The first room in the elevator was a temporary examination room, where there were usually doctors there to receive patients who had just been sent to the hospital.
The examination room was next to the laboratory and the medicine receiving window, and opposite it were several entertainment rooms where patients could move freely.
The one who could control the TV broadcast on the third floor was the security Department on the far left. Not only did they have the right to control the TV broadcast of the entire floor, but they also had surveillance cameras, which could capture every place on the fourth floor with cameras.
Song qingxiao immediately decided to search for the spectacled man’s position.
After staying in the dark for a long time, her eyes slowly adapted to the light, unlike the previous situation where she was in complete darkness.
She held the whip against the wall and moved forward slowly. When she reached the door of the examination room, the door was locked. She grabbed the whip and pushed it twice, but the door did not move at all. She stood on the glass of the door and looked inside. Through the dim light, she could vaguely see the layout of the office. It was similar to the doctors ‘duty rooms on other floors. It also had a set of office equipment and only one examination bed, and there was no one inside.
The first floor of the hospital was extremely cold and quiet, causing her slight movements to make a loud noise, as if she was guiding the spectacled man in the dark.
When song qingxiao realized that she could not cover up her voice no matter what, she changed her mind. She was no longer as careful as before. She no longer deliberately restrained herself. When she walked to the laboratory door, the door was still locked. The glass window had been lowered, and the inside was firmly sealed.
As Dr. Hu and the other two were likely to die from poisoning, she did not dare to open the door with her keys. She was afraid that she would touch something she should not and fall into the man’s trap.
Song qingxiao wrapped the long whip around his hand and clenched his fist. He hit the glass hard, making a heavy ‘dang, dang, dang’ sound that spread throughout the entire Hall on the first floor.
The Echo came from all directions, but song Qing Xiao was unmoved.
That whip was exchanged by number four from the trial space with her points, and the material was extremely special. After three to five hits, the glass cracked with a ‘pa’ sound. She hit it again with her fist, and the glass shattered with a ‘dang dang’ sound. The fragments splashed onto the ground, making a clear and crisp sound.
Song qingxiao lowered her head and looked into the laboratory. This time, she saw the laboratory clearly. There were a lot of instruments in the laboratory. There were several small offices behind the work room, and they were all open. There was no one hiding in them.
Next, she used the same method to break the glass windows in several other places to take a look. The spectacled man was not hiding in these places.
When he walked to the security Department in the corner, the door was half open, different from the locked doors of the previous offices. The spectacled man had indeed been here.
Song qingxiao slowed down her pace and kicked the door open. The door creaked open with her strength and slammed against the door. The room inside was not big. There was a window directly opposite the door. On the right side was a monitor for the surveillance cameras. Below it were rows of switches, which could control the light on the first floor.
She found the power switch and pushed it back up. With the sound of electric current, the security room was lit up, and she closed her eyes subconsciously..
