In the office at night, everywhere was quiet. Only the sound of the hand hitting the metal cabinet continued.

Thump, thump thump!

In the beginning, it was manic anxiety that changed to a last, desperate, powerless struggle. Listening carefully, between the gaps in the knocks on the door, there seemed to be a subtle but creepy hissing sound.

Ye Zeqing was leaning against Xiao Li at first. Then he heard the sound coming from the cabinet and frowned. He unknowingly changed his posture and placed his ear against the cabinet door. Then he translated, "It should be that his emotions are too intense. I can hear some of his thoughts even with my physique suppressed."

Xiao Li glanced at him and asked, "What are his thoughts?"

The ghost was probably so twisted up that his throat couldn't make a sound. He could only squeeze out these small cries. Ye Zeqing thought for a moment before speaking with an indescribable expression. "Put the key back in."

Xiao Li raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything.

"Please." Ye Zeqing cleared his throat and continued to listen to the voice of the ghost in the cabinet that was close to suffocation. "It is too stuffy inside if it is completely locked."

Xiao Li, "......"

A ghost also pursued air quality. He didn't think it was necessary but since the other person asked for it, he narrowed his eyes. He neatly put the key back, twisted it and left a small gap in the metal cabinet.

The restless and twisted human body seemed to feel the flow of fresh air. The neck that was about to be broken moved like a stiff robot and the eyes flashed with sadness. It was just that other people couldn't fully understand this type of sadness.

Xiao Li looked at him through the gap and placed a finger against his lips. "Be quiet."

The ghost in the metal cabinet shivered for a moment. "Hiss."

Ye Zeqing waved his hand. "I know."

Xiao Li released his hand and left the metal cabinet. However, he didn't return to the workstation he was originally sitting on. He looked around and changed to one nearby. Compared to the cubicle that Xiao Li sat in last time, this one was half the size of a person. Even Xiao Li needed to turn sideways to squeeze in.

The workstation was narrow and the partition next to it was even stranger. Xiao Li hadn't paid much attention when he entered but before he took his seat, Shen Chenzhi reached out a hand to block the protruding partition board for him.

The rest of the group saw Xiao Li sitting down again. They exchanged glances and also changed their areas. Of course, they all chose areas that were in the opposite direction of the metal cabinet. Even so, Guangbo saw the upside down eyes in the gap and felt a lingering fear.

"Hercule." Chen Jinghan saw that Xiao Li was silent this time. She held back for a long time but she finally couldn't help saying, "Did you find something? If there is nothing, should we hurry up? After patrolling this floor, don't we still have to go to the exhibition hall?"

She heard President Sun's friend say that the exhibition halls tonight were more dangerous than the office building but Hercule was obviously going to go. Chen Jinghan was very self-aware. The reason why she lived this far in the instance was due to this bigshot. Otherwise, the entire group might've been wiped out last night. In that case, she had to follow Hercule to the exhibition hall. Wasn't it better to end the patrol of this place quickly... right?

Before Xiao Li could answer, Zheng Yi waved his hand at her and spoke naturally. "Hercule naturally has his own thoughts. Don't disturb him."

This really looked like a henchman sucking up.
