Under the bail of Director Qi, the security guard released his hand. The young man, who had experienced Nightmare Assault missions, went up to check and found that his female companion was only frightened and not seriously injured.

After helping the woman up, the group followed Director Qi away.

They walked to a side staircase and went upstairs. The staircase still had an old-fashioned wooden handrail, and the iron bars used for support underneath were painted with green anti-rust paint, giving it a sense of age.

Soon, they arrived at an office.

Jiangcheng noticed that the office was not far from the hospital's respiratory department.

After leaving everyone in the office, the man told them not to wander around and that he would take care of some things and be back soon.

As he left, he glanced at the trembling woman who was being supported, seemingly very dissatisfied with her performance just now.

Obviously, the things the man was going to take care of were related to them.

After closing the door, the room became quiet.

The corridor was also very quiet.

The woman's behavior had already brought danger to everyone, so they didn't like her very much. Their eyes were focused on the young man's face.

After all, what the young man had said had become reality.

"The mission has already begun," the young man said, exhaling. "It's unrealistic to survive in this world by relying on yourself alone. We can only cooperate."

"While we have time, let's introduce ourselves, our names, occupations, and skills we possess, in as much detail as possible," the young man added. "The deeper we understand each other, the smoother our cooperation will be."

"Let's start with me. My name is Huai Yi, and I'm a photographer. Besides photography, I also know some basic wilderness survival skills."

After speaking, the young man who called himself Huai Yi looked at the girl closest to him.

The girl was very young, with delicate features. It was obvious that she was wearing a little light makeup.

Her slightly immature appearance made her seem less like someone in the workplace and more like a college student.

Before the girl could speak, Jiangcheng's wolf-like gaze had already dissected her thoroughly.

The result was about what he had guessed. The girl's name was Yu Yu, and she was a college student, currently interning here, studying accounting.

The middle-aged man's name was Wang Changguo, and he was a department director at a health product company specializing in products for the elderly, mainly responsible for holding conferences to promote products to customers.

The man dressed as a delivery driver was called Cao Yang. He scratched his head and stammered for a long time, unable to say what special skills he had, except that he was physically strong and not afraid of hard work.

"By the way," Cao Yang said, looking at everyone, and holding up the bag in his hand, he asked, "Do you... do you guys want milk tea?"

In the following conversation, everyone held a cup.

The milk tea was still warm, and it felt very comfortable in the stomach, making even Cao Yang seem much more likable.

Jiangcheng didn't eat the tapioca pearls in the milk tea, so he grabbed a trash can and spit them out after drinking the milk tea.

After Wei Wei and Du Feng introduced themselves, it was Jiangcheng's turn. Because there were acquaintances present, Jiangcheng's introduction was relatively reserved.

He was a psychologist, young and promising, working at a psychological counseling center.

Lin Wan'er's introduction was even more concise than his. She nodded and said, "I'm his boss."

Everyone's eyes scanned back and forth between Jiangcheng and Lin Wan'er for a moment, their gazes filled with a strange feeling, as if there was some secret between the two.

Finally, everyone looked at the woman who had remained silent all along.

It was this woman who had almost caused a big problem.

The woman was about 45 years old, slightly overweight, wearing a black knitted shirt on her upper body and straight casual trousers on her lower body, with a pair of black flat leather shoes. Her overall dress gave people a rather old-fashioned feeling.

At the moment, she looked very nervous and couldn't even speak smoothly. After listening for a long time, they learned that her name was Li Kaifeng and that she worked in a logistics company.

It was a complete coincidence that she appeared here today. She didn't work here; she was here to find her daughter, who worked in this building.

After a moment of silence, Huai Yi asked a very crucial question, "What did you see in the elevator?"

Everyone remembered very clearly that when Li Kaifeng fell, she first showed an extremely terrified expression behind their backs, and then ran towards the depths of the corridor, using both her hands and feet.

Hearing this question, Li Kaifeng began to tremble again. "People, it's that person! No, no, it's a door, a black door!"

The moment he heard the word "door," Huai Yi's eyes flickered. His guess had been confirmed.

Jiangcheng continued to pretend to listen with fear and curiosity, looking like he had never seen the world before.

"What are you talking about?" Wang Changguo said unhappily. The initial fear of being drawn into the nightmare had subsided somewhat, and he was now very irritable. He felt annoyed just looking at the woman's face.

If it weren't for her, they might not have been so passive.

"Is it a person, or some kind of door?" Wang Changguo asked. "Explain yourself clearly."

"It's that cleaning lady." Li Kaifeng's face was pale, as if even recalling it was unbearable for her. "She turned... turned into a door, right behind you!"

"What?!"

Hearing the mention of the cleaning lady, many people present were stunned. After a moment, someone slowly reacted. Immediately afterward, a strange atmosphere fermented in everyone's hearts.

That's right.

There was supposed to be a cleaning lady in the elevator.

How come now... she's gone?

And more suspiciously, before anyone mentioned the cleaning lady, everyone had no concept of her at all, as if they had completely forgotten her.

But after Li Kaifeng mentioned it, everyone suddenly remembered her.

This feeling was as if Li Kaifeng had unlocked some kind of seal in their memories.

"Could it be... that all of this is the work of that cleaning lady?" Cao Yang revealed an incredulous expression. He was a staunch atheist, but the framework supporting his system was collapsing.

Huai Yi interrupted everyone's thoughts. "No matter what that cleaning lady did, we're already here, so let's think about how to break the mission and survive."

"Easier said than done. Do you have any ideas?" Wang Changguo stared at him fiercely. He didn't like being led by the nose, especially by such a young man.

Most importantly... he strongly suspected that this whole thing was the young man's doing, although he wasn't clear on the other party's purpose yet.

He and those guys in this world... were in cahoots.

They were all acting!

Unlike these people, Jiangcheng was still more interested in the missing cleaning lady.

He used the corner of his eye to observe Li Kaifeng, wanting to ask her directly how the cleaning lady turned from a person into a door.

Was it little by little, or a sudden transformation, or what?

After all... he also had a door on his body.

Moreover, the guy in his door had been quite active lately.

A burst of rapid footsteps sounded outside the door, and then the door was pushed open. A figure walked in. Unlike when he left, Director Qi's face was now more relaxed.
