Twenty-three. 12:00~14:00
Do not look back!!!
Do not look back!!!
Do not look back!!!
Scarlet red slogans appeared at the bottom of each step.
These repeated words with a strong ominous tone seem to be warning those who intrude here.
When going downstairs, I couldn't see the lines of warnings under the steps because of the angle, but when I stood under the steps and looked up, I could see them clearly.
Lu Li pulled out his psychic gun, and an extremely disturbing and evil aura appeared deep above the steps.
The psychic gun's induction told Lu Li that there was some kind of existence hidden above.
There was no turning back the way we came, and the laughter and laughter below were approaching quickly, as if there was no way to go.
Don't listen to them...
Lu Li thought about the reminders all over the walls.
Hahahaha--
The laughter that sounded below gradually became clearer. Lu Li was not sure whether the hint was true, but as a being below gradually approached, he had no choice.
Lu Li took a deep breath, let go of the flintlock gun, and raised his hands to cover his ears.
The sound was blocked by the palm of the hand, leaving only some specious and inaudible sounds approaching slowly, coming from below.
Ten seconds later, a strange thick black mist rolled and appeared at the end of the steps below. The black mist was hazy and mixed with blood.
Swish, swish, swish——
In the relative silence, the black mist moved upstairs, changing its shape, steadily and strangely.
As he moved up the steps, some sounds inevitably entered his ears. Lu Li had to rub his hands to make noises to cover up the movement of the black mist. Most of the laughter was blocked, but there were still some.
The sound penetrated into the ears uncontrollably. It was a faint scream, and it seemed to be an auditory hallucination.
Lu Li had already pressed against the blood-colored wall that was as warm as his body. He completely held his breath and his chest stopped rising and falling, minimizing his sense of existence.
Under Lu Li's gaze, this strange, solid black mist floated past him without stopping, and then moved upwards.
The noise began to recede, and the screams soon became fainter and then disappeared completely.
The black mist suddenly disappeared around the corner after reaching the 1230th floor above.
Lu Li's chest began to rise and fall again and he resumed breathing.
The air in the blood-colored staircase does not smell of blood, nor is it smelly, nor does it even make people feel cold.
And the noise that goes away
In the extreme silence, only the warm wind blowing from under the deep stairs and the undetectable beating of the heart were left.
He was out of trouble for the time being.
Lu Li frowned slightly, held the psychic gun again, and looked up at the stairs from where he came.
The ominous premonition lingered, and the evil feeling still hadn't dissipated.
You are not allowed to go back, can you only continue downwards...
How many levels are there below, where does it lead to, or is there no end...
Lu Li gathered his thoughts and walked downstairs.
He didn't deliberately walk down one step and then back down another step. This kind of temptation was meaningless and looked like a suicide attempt.
Da da da--
The sound of crisp footsteps echoed on the dead-silent stairs. Lu Li didn't stop when he reached 1300, turned around and continued going down.
According to the depth, he was about twenty meters underground at this time. What he was experiencing so far was completely out of touch with normalcy. In other words, Lu Li was dealing with something weird.
Lu Li had no way out and could not retreat.
To him, there is not much difference between two meters underground, twenty meters underground, and two hundred meters underground.
They are all deep enough to kill him in an instant.
After walking up a flight of stairs again, as expected, the number on the wall at the bottom changed to 1330.
That is half past one in the afternoon.
When it was approaching 1300, Lu Li encountered what the slogan called laughter, that mass of black mist.
So now that it is close to 1300, will the "children" indicated on the wall appear?
And staying up late may refer to later nights and floors further down.
Lu Li realized something when the wall prompt indicated a floor with the same time. If he followed the clues and reasoned downwards, the "children" in the prompt might appear soon, such as at 1:30 in the afternoon...
With this thought in mind, Lu Li walked to the platform at 1330.
Nothing happened.
...or 2 p.m.
No new prompts appeared on the blood-red wall, but the three prompts that Lu Li had pieced together at the beginning became worn and broken.
Although Lu Li already had the answer, it was not a good sign.
Just like a puzzle game changes from easy difficulty to medium difficulty.
This means that the rest of the journey is likely to have fewer hints and fewer clues.
All the way down, Lu Li walked to the platform between 1330 and 1400.
His gaze fell below, and an outline appeared in his eyes.
Unexpected, unexpected: an ordinary wooden door appears with 1,400 layers of walls.
This level didn't give Lu Li much time to breathe and react. Just as he stopped, the next moment, the wooden door was pushed open.
Children in colorful clothes ran out from behind the door and jumped upstairs.
The target is Lu Li.
They are not ordinary children. These are children-shaped... creatures, with facial features twisted together. Some eyes are on the forehead, and some noses appear on the chin, but they are all the same. Each person has four or five on their face.
mouth.
Any normal person will be unable to suppress physical nausea and dizziness when seeing them.
At this moment, they ran up to Lu Li, and the four or five mouths on their faces spoke at the same time.
"Let's go, let's go out and play~"
"Let's go down the slide and play hide-and-seek~"
"My mom bought a new comic book."
"I'll treat you to a snack."
Chirping sounds rang in my ears. They pulled Lu Li's hands, pulled the corners of Lu Li's clothes, and pushed up Lu Li's back.
"You go ahead, I have something else to do."
Lu Li followed the prompts and tried to refuse, but when he found that he was dragged down the stairs by them without any resistance, his black eyes narrowed.
They pushed Lu Li, and the four or five mouths on their faces were chattering, as if there were dozens of people surrounding him, completely ignoring Lu Li's resistance.
After walking most of the steps, Lu Li saw the bright sunshine, the sound of laughter, and the gentle breeze smelling of grass from behind the door.
The back of the door is no longer the irritating and unsettling blood-red color. This contrast makes it easy for people to walk behind the door half-heartedly.
"Come on, you haven't played with us for several days."
"Yes, yes, I will let you play my game console."
"Everyone is waiting for you~"
Lu Li looked like a little boy who wanted to go out to play, but because he had not finished his homework, he went out half-heartedly because of the temptation of his friends.
Four or five children pushed Lu Li down the steps.
The door is getting closer and closer, and everything in the dazzling white light behind the door is mesmerizing.
Lu Li got closer and closer to the door, until he was within easy reach -
His right hand suddenly stretched out, grabbed the wooden door on the side, and closed it hard!
Bang!
The air flow stirred up and the noise disappeared instantly.
Chapter completed!
