Ji Jue finally took out his phone again and looked at the empty screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Feng still hadn't returned the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn't answer the phone, didn't reply to the text message, as if he had disappeared, who knows where he went, wouldn't he be drunk by his comrades again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can't rely on him at critical moments, dropping the chain, are you okay?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it seems that the only thing he can rely on is himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, after hesitation, what convinced him was \"I'll just take a look\", \"just one look\", \"I'll go back after figuring out what these guys are doing\", \"if it doesn't work, I'll run\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jue took a deep breath and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty minutes later, once again, he appeared openly in front of the nightclub door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wearing a machine repair suit, wearing a dirty work hat, bought for four hundred yuan from a second-hand stall in the nearby night market, which made Ji Jue almost vomit blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only free thing was the toolbox installed on the back of the small scooter, which he had been carrying with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he carried a broken folding ladder borrowed from a hardware store on his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What membership card, what Federation currency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The version ace pass is right here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ji Jue had no money, he often relied on this set to escape tickets. It wasn't that he hadn't been exposed, but most of the time, it was unfavorable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, he walked through the luxury cars, crossed the crowd queuing at the door, nodded skillfully to the leader in front of the door, and asked vaguely:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who called for repairs?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader also seemed to be stunned for a moment, lowered his head and said two words to the headset, waiting for a reply from the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden crystal chandelier in the lobby shone, falling on Ji Jue's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held his breath, almost unable to hold it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until a hurried figure walked out from inside, and when he saw him, he was relieved, but his expression became angry: \"Why did you come now? The elevator has been broken for a while... Wait, what are you doing with the ladder?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jue was stunned for a moment, then his mind turned: \"In... inspection, maybe there is a problem with the top of the elevator, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader nodded: \"What about other tools?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the car, there are too many, let's figure out what the problem is before moving them over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jue dealt with it vaguely, followed behind him, and finally entered inside, unfortunately, didn't see the expected hot songs and shaking, pole dancing, and walked directly through the staff passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staff came and went along the way, very busy. Even if they saw someone carrying such a big ladder in, they just took a look and ignored it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were more girls with very little cloth walking in groups, and the fragrant wind lingered, which made Ji Jue a little unable to withstand the test. On the contrary, the leader who led the way warned, \"Don't look around, don't wander around, and don't chat up. Some guests are even offended by us, be careful of being dragged out from the back door.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, okay.\" Ji Jue nodded frantically, followed behind, and finally saw an elevator that had been hung with a maintenance sign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, you look first, if you need any tools, call me in the tool room in front, don't run around, you know?\" He warned at the end: \"If you encounter any big shots doing shameful things, you can't afford it! See that? The security guard is watching!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, he pointed to the surveillance on the ceiling opposite the elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, you guys have a lot of trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jue shook his head, suddenly slapped his forehead: \"Hey, by the way, our company's KPI has been checked strictly recently, some ox and horse roll like dogs, always like to grab other people's orders, you can't find anyone else to grab my work again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, don't worry, why do you need so many people to repair the elevator? Call me when it's repaired.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader waved his hand impatiently and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, he blocked the possibility of a regular maintenance worker exposing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the corridor where people came and went from time to time, Ji Jue faced the elevator with big eyes and small eyes, and began to pretend to dismantle the panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after dismantling half of it, taking advantage of no one's attention, he lowered his head, followed the wall, stretched out his dishonest little hand, and touched the camera directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Brother, busy?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The indicator light of the surveillance camera naturally flashed, cooperating with him, playing the maintenance screen of just a few seconds, and then, a voice with a big Northeast flavor rang in Ji Jue's mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【What are you doing, little brother? Our rules here are strict, no time to chat, be careful that someone will come out to see you slacking off later, I'm afraid you'll be beaten.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jue asked: 【Do you know what they are doing inside?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【I don't know!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surveillance tone also became unhappy: 【This damn place, inside and outside several sets of surveillance, who knows what they are doing inside... This bunch of dogs, they have been making things bloody these days, I guess they haven't done anything good... I don't have hands, if I did, I would have called the police!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, he passed the image seen in the surveillance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was all a scene of several people with their heads lowered carrying huge plastic bags or boxes out of the elevator, bloody things dripping from the bags, and soon dragged away by the cleaner, cleaned up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jue felt his scalp tingle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his heels, it couldn't be donkey whip bought from the market for guests to stew soup, right? Are the guests so weak? Moreover, how much food is it, eating so much?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also not afraid of exploding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in his mind, immediately after, the face of the crazy old ghost appeared, and even the hunger that almost sprayed out of his eyes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surveillance words reminded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, call the police.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jue had found so much, it was time for the police to come and wash the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He subconsciously wanted to touch his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just that, immediately after, he heard the voice of the gossiping surveillance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Oh, by the way, it seems that the police are in the same group as them. Several little girls ran out and were caught back, and they were beaten so miserably... You don't be harmed by them, little brother.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the transmitted picture, the scene of the supervisor in the private room handing cigarettes to the police and talking and laughing, everyone was smiling, without any gaps, as close as a family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the supervisor's eyes, the familiar red light flickered quietly, like blood flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another one?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third one... no, more than that. The enthusiastic camera stuffed all the strange scenes seen in these days, among which there were at least eight or nine people with strange blood color on their bodies!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jue's heart jumped wildly, and his eyes went black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——Damn, I seem to have accidentally touched the nest of this bunch of monsters?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it too late to run now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Thanks brother, I'm fine!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jue squatted in front of the panel, followed the elevator's guidance, found the circuit with poor contact, reconnected it, and wrapped it with two circles of electrical tape, done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elevator cheered: 【Done, go quickly, don't be like the last maintenance worker, taken away and don't know where to go.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jue, who was ready to run, stiffened in place, feeling the internal image transmitted by the elevator: ten minutes ago, another employee wearing a maintenance hat followed people down into the elevator, went to a floor not displayed on the elevator panel, the door opened... disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never came out again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if in this bustling, lively nightclub, there was a black hole that couldn't be seen, and once one fell into it, it would never be seen again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what made him stiffen in place was the image that appeared in a flash on the screen, the right hand of the maintenance worker, that familiar scar, made his breathing almost stop completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chilled to the bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Feng...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jue stared wide-eyed, standing at the elevator door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh? Repaired? Repaired, follow me down to eat employee meal...\" The leader who came to the news pushed his shoulder: \"Ask you something, speak, what are you pretending to be dead for.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jue didn't speak, silent, turning his head to look at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader frowned, wanting to speak, but saw... the eyes raised by the youth, and the bloodshot eyes spreading in his eyes, so scarlet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he saw the right hand raised by Ji Jue from the toolbox, and the crowbar grabbed in his right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiming at his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smash down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader's eyes went black, and he fell to the ground, and the last thing he heard was the cold echo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jue pulled his collar and pulled him into the elevator: \"I really want to eat your employee meal...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elevator closed, and the corridor returned to emptiness and silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the elevator, slowly descending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the short silence, Ji Jue took a deep breath, gripped the crowbar in his hand, thought about it, changed to a screwdriver, and the sharp screwdriver pointed at the leader's neck. As long as he used a little force, he could poke a hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He admitted that he had the idea of gambling, and such a rash behavior was stupid and irrational.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Ji Jue saw Lu Feng disappear into the underground floor, all reason and thinking seemed to disappear, leaving only the fear and rage he had never imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did he get here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is he okay?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also said that he bought a new computer and played games together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dog thing, he never kept his word once!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ma had just come out of the hospital, and he ran to this kind of place—what on earth was he thinking? Why didn't he call and tell him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As of now, there is no other way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the only thing Ji Jue could do was to touch the leader's phone, put all the images he found into it, upload them, and then send a video two hours later, and push it to Yacheng News and the Viceroy's Voice. Although it felt like it didn't have much effect, at least, he wouldn't be silent even if he died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he lifted the unconscious leader from the ground and blocked him in front, with the screwdriver pointing at his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raised his head and looked at the stagnant elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the slowly opening elevator door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What emerged from that gap of hair-raising faint light was a distorted and hideous face, the moment the elevator door opened...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pounced towards Ji Jue!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jue stared wide-eyed, subconsciously raising the screwdriver, wanting to poke it, but the moment he raised his hand, he finally saw clearly, the blood on that hideous face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And, the bullet hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the forehead to the back of the head, it exploded, like a coconut shell that had been blown up, red and white spraying out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpse leaning against the elevator door fell into the elevator, the sound was so crisp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corpse, corpse, corpse, corpse, corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if he had suddenly broken into a battlefield, the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke drilled into his nostrils and mucous membranes like substance, mixed with the sticky smell of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the huge underground space, it seemed to have turned into a battlefield, and the storm of destruction had swept through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All that was left were eleven corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And, amidst the scarlet blood color, the lonely figure standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping on a figure that was still struggling after being shot through the heart and arm, the axe in his hand raised, aimed at the forehead, and with a snap, slashed down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Settled the account.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, the firearm in the other hand raised, aimed at the open elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, like Ji Jue, froze in place...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is Lu Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grass.\" ===== CHAPTER 10 =====\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2088,"2026-06-17T21:26:46.528Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","b7e937c306ed3bf9ffe8a7fee18dd2ad6e52d9b3b2c3de0868beabc0c810d677","above-destiny-chapter-10","above-destiny-chapter-8",461,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabove-the-heavenly-fate-cover.jpg"]
