The fifth floor was dark, and the long corridor seemed to have no end.
The dark red mottled traces on the blue-gray wall skin looked shocking under the flickering lights.
It's still the same pattern as the one downstairs.
Rooms 501-504 are arranged in sequence in the silent corridor, the paint on the doors is dim and faded, and each room has its doors closed, standing indifferently in the dark.
Unlike the downstairs floors, the windows on this floor are tightly sealed with wooden planks, without a single gap.
Ge Xiu tried to reach out and pushed the first door.
Unexpectedly, the door did not move at all.
Ge Xiu raised his eyebrows unexpectedly and walked forward along the corridor. From No. 501 to No. 504, every door seemed to be firmly in the door frame, and there was no trace of loosening at all.
The whole floor is like an airtight iron barrel.
Gossi frowned.
He hesitated for two seconds, but he still slowly reached into his pocket and found the key to the 502.
The surface of the metal key was cold and hard, and it fell heavily on the bottom of the pocket. It felt like ice and iron to the touch.
However, before he could take out the key, a piercing scream rang out from downstairs.
Ge Xiu made a move.
He let go of the key and hurried to the place where the sound came from downstairs.
By the time he arrived, some players had already gathered there. They were looking out around a window facing the stairwell. Everyone was pale and solemn.
Ge Xiu looked in from the gap in the crowd.
Through the window, it is the viscous darkness that seems to be inseparable, boundless, surrounding the solitary buildings, the open space below extends to the distance, and the edges are shrouded in darkness.
In the very center of that clearing, lay an indescribable... thing.
The soft limbs of the severed arm were twisted and bent, forming a skeleton structure similar to a box. In the box composed of pale limbs, there lay a man whose limbs had been severed and his belly was cut open.
Below his thoracic vertebrae, a large black hole was split open, the ground was stained red by the gurgling blood and chopped viscera, his dead gray face contorted in fear and pain, and then solidified into a stiff sheet in death. mask.
But the corners of his mouth were pulled upwards by some unknown force, revealing a huge, weird and penetrating smile.
The two eye sockets were dark and hollow, and they looked at the crowd.
Such a situation is simply bizarre and terrifying, almost terrifying from the heart, and even players who have not experienced a game copy for the first time can't help but feel their scalp tingling.
Lin Xue, who had poor psychological endurance, took two steps back with a pale face, then leaned against the wall and vomited.
"Look! This... This seems to be Cheng Cheng!"
One of the players suddenly exclaimed!
The others were stunned for a moment, and they all looked at the corpse that was twisted into a strange shape. On the pale face with dark red blood solidified, they could indeed vaguely see the familiar outline.
… It is indeed Cheng Cheng.
The wound on his body showed the characteristics of a dead person on two floors at the same time, and then appeared outside the building in such a strange posture, which is really baffling.
Ge Xiu narrowed his eyes and suddenly said:
"Are those hands and feet a little too much?"
Indeed, one's limbs are not enough to make a box out of human arms and legs.
Cheng Cheng was not the only deceased, there were at least two people.
So... where are the rest of them
Ge Xiu looked down at the corpse box below thoughtfully, his eyes darkened.
At this moment, there was a loud "bang" in the corridor on the side, one of the doors slammed open with great force, and the dust and blood mist fluttered under the lights in the corridor.
Everyone was startled, and quickly turned their heads to look in the direction from which the voice came.
I saw Chen Jian stumbled out of the open door. Another player was dragging on his shoulders. The player was pale and whimpered constantly. Only the bones were left below his knees. His flesh and blood were peeled off, leaving only two dangling snow-white leg bones.
Chen Jian gritted her teeth and limped forward.
Several players hurried forward, lifted the injured player off his shoulders, and carefully placed it on the ground in the corridor.
Chen Jian's face was ugly, he took a breath, and then said succinctly:
"I gave him a simple hemostasis and left him there without moving."
Lin Xue stepped forward cautiously, and asked timidly:
"He, his leg is like this, can it be cured?"
Another player replied: "As long as you don't lose your life in the game, all wounds will heal after returning to reality."
"Yes." Chen Jian took over the conversation: "We just need to find the remaining two special items before he dies of blood loss."
There are two left.
That means that Chen Jian has obtained a special item in the room just now.
In the chaos, Ge Xiu suddenly asked without warning:
"What kind of ghosts did you encounter?"
Chen Jian was also slightly startled, as if he did not expect Ge Xiu to ask such a question.
But he answered truthfully: "An old lady."
Gossi nodded.
He casually pushed open a room that had already been searched by players and glanced inward. The decorations and furniture inside were old-fashioned and outdated. From the printed tablecloth to the rigid and rigid angular outlines, they were all very old-fashioned. It's a room where an elderly person lives.
So these three layers belong to three different age groups.
What about other than that? Are there any other connections
Ge Xiu lowered his eyes, lost in thought.
At this moment, the sound of the clock knocking came from downstairs, thick and slow, and slowly entered the ears of everyone along the narrow and dark corridor.
It's time for a break in the game.
The players worked together to move the man whose legs were turned into bones to his own room, and then started hurriedly walking towards the room indicated by the key in his hand.
The rules of the game are unquestionable.
As long as it is determined, there is no room for turning around.
No one wants to suffer the consequences of breaking the rules of the game.
Ge Xiu returned to the fifth floor.
The corridor on the fifth floor was silent and deep, every door was tightly closed, and all the windows were sealed.
At the moment of stepping up, all the sounds downstairs disappeared, as if entering a completely independent space and field, and neither the outside sound nor light and shadow could be transmitted in.
Ge Xiu took out the key, inserted it into the keyhole of 502, and turned it slowly.
The subtle clanging of metal bites resounded in the deadly corridor.
The door opened.
Ge Xiu pushed open the dark red door panel in front of him, and the decoration inside the door came into view.
A dazzling red.
Red curtains, red tablecloths, red carpets, and—
The big and conspicuous "Hi" word is pasted on the wall.
Gossiu: "..."
He slid the door behind him.
The furniture and appliances in the room are basically brand new. The table is covered with a bright red tablecloth, and on it is a box full of fruit, which is filled with hills of wedding candy and peanut seeds.
Ge Xiu grabbed two candies and put them in his pocket.
He slowly and leisurely peeled off the candy as he walked towards the room.
The decoration in the bedroom is still brand new. The bright red color fills the whole room. The red fringed decorations hang on the chandeliers and curtains. The quilt sheets and pillows are embroidered with the pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water. The word hi is very eye-catching.
Very traditional, very tacky, very festive…
Ge Xiu: "..."
do not know why…
It always feels weird.
There was an empty crystal vase on the bedside table beside it, and there was half a bottle of water in it, as if waiting for something.
Ge Xiu looked down at the rose in his hand.
Although the flowers are still delicate and beautiful, because the time is not short after all, the petals are slightly wilted.
Ge Xiu hesitated for two seconds, and finally inserted the rose into the crystal vase.
He lowered his head and hurriedly peeled off the candy and stuffed it into his mouth.
After turning the whole room around, Ge Xiu found no trace of energy fluctuations.
This is just a simple room, and there are no special items.
Ge Xiu opened the curtains and found that the windows behind were also nailed with wooden boards, just like the ones in the corridor.
Through the gap, you can vaguely see the thicker and thicker darkness outside the building.
Ge Xiu idled around the room two more times, but couldn't find anything else to do.
Can only sleep.
He yawned, turned off the lights in the room, and lay down on the only bed in the room.
The walls and blocked windows cut off all the faint lights, and even the lights in the corridor were automatically turned off, and the whole room was shrouded in a thick layer of darkness.
Ge Xiu opened his eyes, stared at the ceiling in the darkness, and waited quietly.
There was no sound in the room.
The dead silence like a vacuum isolated him, as if floating in a silent ocean.
Time passed little by little, and drowsiness struck uncontrollably.
Unconsciously, Ge Xiu slowly closed his eyes.
The speed of the passage of time gradually became imperceptible.
- I don't know how long it took.
Consciousness fell into the gap between half-dreaming and half-awake, as if everything was between clarity and chaos, everything around him became extraordinarily distant, and his awake was shaky.
At this moment, a pale and slender hand poked out from the darkness and embraced Ge Xiu's waist softly and unquestionably.
Ge Xiu was instantly drowsy.
The senses are infinitely magnified by the darkness, and the vision is lost, and other senses on the body are exceptionally sharp.
The icy body that fit behind him became extraordinarily impossible to ignore.
Ge Xiu's body froze subconsciously.
The arms across his waist were slowly tightened, the front and back curves of the two closely fit, and the ice-like temperature on the other's body was clearly transmitted to the back through the thin clothes.
His warm lips touched his soft, warm earlobes.
A low voice sounded in the darkness, the breath was cold, with a little careless hoarseness, tearing the air, causing a slight vibration:
"Do you like the gift I gave you?"
