After Yu Lan died, she transformed into a new urban legend.

A different kind of fear spread through everyone's hearts. Soon, they found the urban legends of the others: Lu Huaxu, Liu Guo, and also Xu Yi.

The appearance of three familiar faces in the urban legends brought a shock that was beyond words.

In this script, being killed by a ghost wasn't the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was that the dead would become new urban legends.

It was like a virus.

They would be trapped forever, becoming ghosts without consciousness, only knowing how to kill.

"Why isn't there an urban legend about Wei Jinting?" Wan Yuanning flipped through the urban legends in her hand, but she really couldn't find one belonging to him.

Hua Luo frowned. Except for Wei Jinting, the urban legends of all the other dead or missing people were here. "Could it be that he isn't dead?"

Even he himself didn't believe that statement.

After seeing Xu Yi's urban legend, Chu Jiu's eyes immediately turned red. The last shred of hope in her heart shattered. Sister Xu Yi... really was dead, and had become a new urban legend.

She held back her grief and raised her head. "I have another urban legend here. It should be Wei Jinting's." She quickly said, "It's in the paper bag that woman brought earlier."

Taking the urban legend, Hua Luo immediately opened it.

The first impression this urban legend gave was one of extreme oppression. The brushstrokes in the artwork were also relatively rough, and judging from the background, it seemed to be a small space.

The composition was also rather strange. There weren't any superfluous objects around, and at the bottom of the drawing were lines that seemed to be borders.

"It's a stairwell," Qiao Yu's brother frowned and suddenly spoke.

This immediately reminded everyone of the ghost who had made the video call. The ghost's location at the time was in a stairwell.

Quickly flipping through the pages, Qiao Yu's brother's guess was confirmed. This was indeed a stairwell, and in the next few paintings, the stairwell was filled with smoke, as if a fire had occurred.

Suddenly, behind a safety door on the right-hand side, several panicked people appeared. The safety door could only be opened by the width of two fists for some reason, and several people were trapped inside.

They seemed to have seen someone coming, and these people desperately pounded on the door, their mouths wide open. It was easy to guess that they were shouting for help.

The next picture's perspective shifted to outside the safety door. The person who had arrived didn't just stand by and watch. Finally, after a long time, they opened the safety door.

The people inside poured out in a rush, scrambling to escape downwards, but the person who had rescued them seemed to have exhausted all their energy, and their speed became slower and slower.

The people running behind began to grow impatient, and finally, someone pushed him hard. The person fell forward, tumbling down many steps of the staircase.

Without the obstruction, the people behind began to flee madly. The person kept asking for help, but the others didn't even look at him as they ran past.

He used all his strength, reaching out his hand, hoping to grab the hem of the last person's pants, but the last person stepped heavily on his hand.

In the final perspective of the picture, the person who had saved them was alone, submerged in the thick smoke.

And at this moment, everyone finally saw clearly the person's desperate eyes, and... her face.

It wasn't Wei Jinting, as they had originally thought, but a woman.

It was precisely Li Zumei, who had just received them!

Hua Luo's hand, holding the manuscript, trembled.

Realizing what was happening, Wan Yuanning immediately walked outside. Although she knew it was late, these were still several human lives, and she couldn't just give up like this.

Just as she was about to open the door, it was pushed open from the outside. A security guard stood outside the door.

"Who are you?" The security guard was obviously startled. "Who allowed you to come in?"

Hua Luo walked forward, showing his police ID, and at the same time, as the other party's gaze swept over him, he explained that he was carrying out a special mission.

Wan Yuanning also put on a very professional posture, looking at the security guard coldly, and said to him, "You can't not know why we're here."

Hearing this, the security guard's eyes paused, and then he showed a well-behaved expression that said, *I understand everything, and I certainly won't cause trouble for the police officers.*

It seemed the security guard was aware of the strange things that had happened here.

Seeing that Wan Yuanning was about to go out immediately, Chu Jiu stepped forward and grabbed the hem of her clothes. "Sister," Chu Jiu said, "Let's ask clearly before we go together."

Looking around, seeing that there was no one else, Hua Luo pulled the security guard in and asked him about Li Zumei.

Sure enough, the security guard confirmed that Li Zumei was already dead, and this office was hers.

After she died, the room was locked and no one had come since.

He had only seen that the door was unlocked and pushed it open to take a look.

"How did she die?" Qiao Yu's brother asked hastily.

Hearing this, an imperceptible emotion flashed in Wan Yuanning's eyes. She turned her head to glance at Qiao Yu's brother, then shifted her gaze away.

This security guard was probably dumbed down. How could police officers who came here to investigate a case not know how the deceased had died?

But to Hua Luo's helplessness and relief, the security guard didn't detect the flaw, and instead acted very actively.

"She was burned to death," the security guard replied. "I saw them carrying the body out at the time. Under the white cloth, that arm was sticking up like charcoal. It was terrifying."

"Burned to death?" Hua Luo frowned. He remembered that there were no flammable materials in the stairwell in the painting. He had originally thought Li Zumei had died of suffocation.

Seeing that there was no one around, the security guard lowered his voice and said, "Just like what you're investigating, there's something strange about this. The body was badly burned at the time, but the clothes on the body were completely fine. It was like the fire only burned her."

"No, it was like it started from her body alone. Later, it was said that they investigated the source of the fire, but in the end, there was no follow-up."

After saying this, the security guard fidgeted and said, "I only dare to say this because you're here. If the boss finds out, I'll definitely be fired."

"Has anything strange happened at the company since then?" Wan Yuanning asked urgently.

"Yes, yes," the security guard nodded repeatedly. "Sometimes the fire sprinklers in the stairwell suddenly turn on for no reason. They've been repaired several times, but it's still not working."

"Some employees also reported that they could smell a strong burning smell in the stairwell."

Hua Luo looked at the security guard, whose face changed slightly as he spoke, and questioned, "Since you know this, why don't you consider changing jobs?"

The way Wan Yuanning and Chu Jiu looked at the security guard also changed. Who knew if this security guard would be the next urban legend.

"But after the company sealed off the entire left-side stairwell, these things disappeared, and the company hasn't had any other incidents since."

"Sealed off?" Hua Luo pointed in one direction, seemingly making a final confirmation. "That stairwell over there?"

"Yes," the security guard nodded.

"That's impossible," Qiao Yu's brother said in confusion. "We came up that stairwell when we arrived. You can walk through it."
