As if the nightmare had just ended, the handprints and scratches all disappeared, and the elevator reverted back to normal.

In a flash, Lin Xiao Yan and Lin Yiri ran out. Su Min raised his foot to go in after they had left.

"Don't go in the elevator!" Lin Xiao Yan yelled.

But her warning came too late. The doors had closed, and the elevator already began to ascend. To the side, Lin Yiri hurriedly pressed the buttons, but it was futile.

When Su Min heard Lin Xiao Yan's voice, his heart tightened and skipped a beat.

He cancelled the command to the third floor and pressed the button to the second floor, wanting to get out as soon as possible. Taking the stairs was a better alternative.

Su Min really didn't want to experience anymore of the 'horror' if he could help it.

However, the elevator unexpectedly delivered him directly to the third floor. There was even a ding as the doors opened.

Su Min, "..."

This elevator was a bit problematic.

As Su Min walked out, he hesitantly looked back and saw that the doors were closing like normal.

Downstairs, Lu Yiri sent him a WeChat: "Su Min? Quickly get out of the elevator. What floor are you on now?"

"I'm on the third floor," Su Min replied.

"..."

That response was the opposite from what he had expected.

Lin Xiao Yan and Lin Yiri walked up the stairs. When they recalled their experiences in the elevator, their bodies trembled with lingering fears.

After handing in their homework, the three faced each other with nothing to say.

A long time passed before Su Min broke the silence, "Did you guys run into something when you were on the elevator?"

They nodded.

Lin Xiao Yan swallowed. "Rather than the third floor, the elevator took us to the seventh floor!"

"The seventh floor?" Su Min had some doubts.

According to the original's memory, the seventh floor was sealed many years ago. Furthermore, the doors to the stairs connecting the sixth and seventh floor had long since been locked up.

"The most important point here is that the school made it so that the elevator is unable to go up the seventh floor," Lin Yiri said.

"What do you mean?"

Lin Yiri passed over his phone. Displayed on the screen was an old post on the school's web forum that discussed the seventh floor.

The landlord's1 post and the replies below could all be summed up to-

The elevator can only go up to the sixth floor.

In other words, the highest floor it could've gone was the sixth, but after some strange development, the elevator broke its own seal and made its way to the seventh floor.

Su Min sighed, "This elevator is difficult to deal with."

To be able to break through a whole floor-this horror movie contained some tofu-dreg2 buildings.

Lin Xiao Yan agreed, "Extremely so."

"There are a lot of posts online about strange incidents that happened in the elevator," Lin Yiri exclaimed, "Someone said that when he was inside, a hole appeared out of nowhere and an arm reached out to grab his clothes."
