"Miss Runli, are you awake?"

It was as if a ray of light shot in from the dark swamp, awakening Runli's sleeping consciousness.

"I... what's wrong with me?"

She lifted the quilt covering her body, and saw Yilian sitting on the edge of the bed with a smile on her face and looking at herself, and she held a bowl of porridge in her hand, and said, "Do you want to eat something? I was terrified to be in a coma for so long."

Runli's memory is very vague, when she took the porridge, she suddenly remembered that hand! Suddenly the porridge fell to the ground, and she screamed again and again: "I... I want to go! I want to get out of here!"

"Do you know Mr. Tie Mujing?"

Runli immediately calmed down when she heard these words, recalling the man with split pupil eyes, she immediately asked: "You... know him?"

"Just now he called me and said he was my sister's friend. He also told me that he knew that I was enclosed in this inexplicable space and would help me leave, but asked me to find you. Well, since you After waking up, do you want to call him? He gave me his cell phone number. "

When Mu Jing's cell phone rang, just as he was about to connect it, Run An grabbed it. After pressing the answer button, he couldn't wait to say to the other end, "Is it Run Li? Is it Run Li?"

"Brother? Brother, hurry up and save me, this place is terrible!"

Runli cried and said to him: "Please... brother... I don't want to die..."

Run An was about to continue comforting her, but Mu Jing had already snatched the phone back, and said to Run Li, "Don't worry, you won't die. But, don't go up that staircase again. You can still communicate, which proves that the two This space is connected. We are trying our best to find a way to enter this space, so don't worry."

"Mu...Mu mirror?"

Before she could say anything more, the phone hung up.

"Hey... I still want to say a few words to my brother, Mu..."

Reluctantly, she had no choice but to put down the receiver. At this moment, Runli looked at the door that she just stretched out her hand to. Although Mu Jing promised that she would not die, and she also knew that the other party might also have the ability of premonition, but... this kind of conditioned fear is still difficult to suppress. In the past, she looked at those cursed with a redemptive heart, and thought she was kind, but... she realized now that she didn't understand the pain and despair of the cursed at all. Life is limited, and even the date of death is predetermined. There is no way to escape, and death is certain. This kind of despair is not something ordinary people can experience.

"Miss Runli..." Looking at her like this, Yilian understood her feelings very well.

"Am I going to die? I'm really scared..." The death of her parents resurfaced in Runli's mind again. It was really hard for her to imagine what kind of mood they had when they kept the diary. Facing the coming of death calmly was something Runli could never have imagined.

Parents must be very sad. Because I can't even see my child's last side.

She fell on the ground and cried, her heart was almost torn to pieces. At this time, a warm hand touched her face and wiped away her tears.

Yilian understands her pain now.

At the age of six, Yilian lost her mother forever.

On the day of the funeral, the sky was always gray. Holding an umbrella, she watched as the coffin was lowered into the ground. The words on the tombstone, with only a few short numbers, engraved a person's life.

Life is fragile, very fragile.

When Weijing's mother married her father, she didn't object at all. Because she understands her father's feelings, and Weijing's mother has a good relationship with her. Most importantly, her relationship with Weijing has always been similar to that of sisters.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door. She hurried to open the door, only to find a bunch of people standing outside the door.

"you… "

"Miss Jian," Wen Bangming said with a nervous expression on his forehead, "come to my room, something happened... We found a dead body on the stairs."

At this time, he suddenly noticed Runli in the room, and asked, "She... who is she? Was she also the one who accidentally entered this place?"

"Oh, yes… "

"Then let her come along. The corpse... We have identified it. It is a resident on the thirteenth floor, named Tang Hui."

Hearing Tang Hui's name, Runli was shocked, and hurried to the door, saying, "Take me to see... I want to see her body!"

Tang Hui's death is indeed terrifying. At the same time, everyone also found that Wu Longfei, Leng Jia, Ming Yishui and Pang Tie did not follow. Although I went to knock on the door of their house, there was no answer at all.

"Anyway... what do you think?"

After gathering again at Wen Bangming's house, the seven of them remained relatively silent, but they generally understood what they were thinking.

"Everyone..." Runli looked at the stiff atmosphere in the room, and suddenly mustered up her courage to say, "Do you... believe that there are ghosts in this world?"

If someone asks this question for no reason at ordinary times, most of them take it as a joke, and they will not seriously think about the answer. Even if they really think about it, they will mostly answer based on their own experience. However, most people should not believe it.

However, in such a strange place, who can insist that ghosts do not exist? For a while no one answered.

"I can give you an affirmative answer. There are definitely ghosts in this world, and I assure you all... I have seen ghosts with my own eyes."

"Don't, don't say it!" Zhang Tong, a middle-aged man, hugged his head and shouted, "What the hell is this place! Who brought us here!"

"Everyone..." Wen Bangming calmed everyone's emotions, and said, "Don't be too nervous...listen to my analysis. The dead Miss Tang, I checked, and the cause of her death seems to be suffocation. I don't think you should Then quickly suspect the idea of ghosts and gods. Although this space is mysterious, it can also be interpreted as a parallel world. In physics, this hypothesis exists. Let’s not consider whether there are ghosts in this world, at least for now , we can't insist that there are ghosts in this space."

All eyes turned to him.

"Since there are dead...there must be murderers. It may also be the culprit who introduced us into this space. I don't know if you have read a science fiction novel "Mansion" in the Wesley series? This novel is about, An elevator in an apartment, people who take it can lead to another space, the time flow of that space is different from that of the outside world, even if they are in the same room, they can’t see each other’s existence. Isn’t this the same as our situation Is it similar? Only, they enter by elevator and we enter by stairs."

"Then..." Yilian hurriedly asked, "Do you mean this is a space where the flow of time is different from that of the outside world?"

"Well... there is a possibility. I guess, maybe the stairs in this apartment, like that novel, are also used in the development of this space-time technology, and we...maybe the guinea pigs for this experiment."

"Please... have you read too many science fiction novels?" Yi Lian didn't believe this at all. Although this space is incredible, but the development of space-time technology and finding a group of civilians to be test subjects... No matter how you think about it, it's common in science fiction movies plot.

"Otherwise, how do you explain this phenomenon?" Wen Bangming pointed out the window and said, "How do you explain this weird space?"

"can not explain."

After Runli said these words, everyone's eyes turned to her again.

"In this world... there are unexplainable phenomena. No matter science, philosophy or psychology can't understand, ghosts can exist purely by idealism. In this place, if you don't abandon your common sense, it is impossible to deal with it They. You are in this place... you will die at any time."

Run Li, who could no longer predict the date of death, fell into a state of extreme confusion.

Mu Jing's words lingered in her mind repeatedly, she really wanted to know, what should she do to regain this ability

"Well...Miss Yi," Wen Bangming seemed to be insensitive to ghosts and gods, he still tried to refute: "You said you've seen ghosts, but...do you have any evidence? What evidence do you have to prove that this space is filled with ghosts? masterpiece?"

"No... I don't have any evidence to prove it now. But... I want to hear, can you tell me the whole process of everyone entering this space, and what happened? I think maybe I can find some clues, to judge."

At first, everyone didn't believe her, but subconsciously, people are more afraid of completely unknown ghosts. Out of this mentality, everyone decided to cooperate with Runli.

So, everyone told in detail how they strayed into this space while walking the stairs after returning home.

"Are you... are you sure this apartment is just you?"

Runli raised the question again.

"It should be just a few of us," Wen Bangming thought for a while and replied, "Even if there are still, there won't be many."

"Sure enough... Whether you enter this space when you walk up the stairs is completely random... Well, you said just now, did you hear the sound of glass breaking? And it came from downstairs?"

Everyone nodded.

"The people who are currently missing are Mr. Wu Longfei, Ms. Leng Jia, Mr. Ming Yishui and Mr. Pang Tie. I see..." Runli drew each floor of the apartment on a piece of paper, and marked the location of the rooms , and write the name of the resident on each room.

"Glass... which layer of glass is broken?"

"It's a glass on the fifth floor." Wen Bangming replied: "I was a little worried when I heard the sound, and then I went down to check and found a door on the fifth floor that was open. When I went in, I found that a glass inside was broken. .Moreover, there are still some bloodstains on the ground, and there are traces of someone coming in the room."

"Bloodstains... the bloodstains were found on the glass?"

"Well, mostly."

Run Li immediately fell into deep thought, and then asked: "When did you hear the glass shatter?"

"Well, it should be just after seven o'clock last night... I was a little scared at first, so I didn't go down immediately, but I was a little worried after all, so I went down to have a look."

"Is that so... Then, what about Miss Leng Jia? When was her disappearance confirmed?"

"That's just now... We went to knock on the door of her house, but no one came out to answer the door."

"Then... what about Mr. Ming Yishui and Mr. Pang Tie?"

"I heard screams from downstairs before. These two people live on the 11th and 12th floors respectively. Because the doors are locked, I can't go in to confirm."

"Go smash the door..." Runli made a decisive decision: "Go and smash the doors where the missing people live. You can use any method. Human life is at stake! Why didn't you take any action before? Because you fell into this weird space, you just You only care about yourself, and don't care about the lives of others?"

Everyone was a little annoyed when they heard her say that, but Runli immediately walked towards the door and said, "Follow me quickly, do you want me to smash the door alone? Maybe they can still save me!"

So, everyone dispersed to the door of the four households and began to smash the door. After all, Runli's words made everyone start to fear. If something really happened to those people, then they might be in danger too.

First of all, after the door of Pang Tie's house was smashed open, everyone saw Wu Longfei's body in horror. His head was lying quietly on the floor, and the floor was covered with blood...

Suddenly everyone's fear rose to the peak...

After Ming Yishui's room was forcibly broken into, everyone found Ming Yishui's body hanging from the ceiling...

As for Leng Jia's family, they found nothing.

Runli has a little knowledge of forensic science. She examined the bodies of Wu Longfei and Ming Yishui, and she was basically sure that the former died last night, while Ming Yishui died not too long ago, and his body was not stiff yet.

In other words... Wu Longfei died before Ming Yishui.

Gradually she began to come to some conclusions.

"Footprints..." Runli pointed to the blood-red footprints in Pang Tie's room and said, "Look... this footprint is obviously much bigger if you compare it with Pang Tie's shoes. This is not Pang Tie's footprint. Moreover, this footprint is obviously It was stepped on with bare feet, and five toes can be clearly seen. Moreover, it disappeared when it reached the door of the bedroom, which was locked from the inside."

"What... what do you want to say?" Wen Bangming gradually understood.

"The owner of this footprint... is not human."

"You...you have no basis for saying that!"

"Don't you understand?" Runli said to the others: "There is a ghost in this apartment... Miss Tang Hui was also killed by that ghost... Mr. Ming too! We will be in danger! I suggest that everyone find a way to live Go to the same house, take care of each other, and prevent that guy from attacking... My brother, he is a person with ghost eyes, and he will definitely come to save us! Before that, we must find a way to survive!"

Moreover, what Runli cares about is the order of death.

Leaving Tang Hui's death aside, Wu Longfei lives in Room 607, Leng Jia lives in Room 803, Ming Yishui lives in Room 1104, and Pang Tie lives in Room 1203. And when she checked Tang Hui's body just now, in fact her body was not very stiff, and there were no corpse spots on her body.

She lost the ability to predict the date of death, so... In fact, the day Tang Hui entered that alien space may not be the date of her death! She may have just died!

Completely... kill people in the order of floors from bottom to top...

In other words, that ghost... is constantly approaching the upper floors!
