"Elevator game? What is that?" Lin Chu was curious.
After Lu Yanli explained the rules, she sat there, unable to calm down for a long time.
After a while, she smiled bitterly and said, "I thought I was crazy enough, but I didn't expect you to be even more..."
"If I can't get rid of it by going to another city, I might as well give it a try."
“That’s right.” Lin Chu murmured, “Instead of passively going to other worlds, it’s better to take the initiative to go there.”
Lu Yanli drove to another highway, and after crushing the entire road with the help of the truck's tonnage, he successfully reached another tunnel.
There was no one in front of the toll booth.
Lin Chu felt that the car was speeding up. Without the other party saying anything, she had already tensed her body and prepared herself.
After entering the tunnel, I could clearly see the car slowing down. The green fluorescent light disappeared, and the front was completely dark. The high beam could not illuminate the road, so I could only drive by feel.
Singing again...
The song was soft and gentle, I couldn’t make out the lyrics, but the tune…
Lin Chu sat up straight instantly: "This song?"
"Don't listen!" Lu Yanli sped up.
When he taught them to sing before, he deliberately sang it in a way that made it sound unpleasant, so it didn't have much of an impact, at most it affected people's emotions. But this song was completely different, and just by listening to it, one could seem to feel the deep despair in it.
Lu Yanli was less affected, but even so, he couldn't help but tense up his hands wrapped in his sleeves and holding the steering wheel.
hurry up…
Where is the end
His fingertips were so tense that they turned white, and veins bulged. Lin Chu covered his ears and moved away from him, fearing that he would suddenly mutate.
Finally, the light of the tunnel entrance appeared in front of us, and the truck rushed out -
A strange city.
At first sight, the two recognized each other.
Just now it was still late at night, and the new city was white again, with strange people walking around.
At first glance, it seemed nothing, but after a closer look, the people on the street all had more or less mechanical features, which was very strange. But those people didn't find it strange at all, and didn't even look at the truck that suddenly rushed into the downtown area, and left indifferently.
It was a very quiet city, with tall buildings of bizarre shapes, neon lights of various strange colors shining brightly, and a number of strangely shaped aircraft in the air, making the truck he was driving look particularly shabby.
The city is quiet because the people passing by are so quiet that they are almost like robots. But... the city radio is still playing music.
It was still the same soft and gentle song, but unlike Lu Yanli and Lin Chu who were affected, people seemed not to have heard it. They came and went expressionlessly, and the metallic luster on their faces reflected the red and green light of the neon lights.
“This is just like the science fiction world in the movies.” Lin Chu complained as he looked at the products in the air that were clearly beyond the technological level of this world.
Lu Yanli didn't quite understand.
In his world, there are no so-called science fiction movies. What he studies most are horror and the supernatural. As for why technology is still developing gradually after people in that world go crazy, he has no idea why. It's as if those technologies just emerged over time.
His world was filled with ghosts and monsters, and no entertainment. He had long since thrown aside all the films and novels he had read when he was a child that speculated on the future.
"Now, let's find a tall building and try." Lu Yanli interrupted Lin Chu's mumbling.
The fluorescent light on their coats was still there, and seeing that there was no danger for the time being, they carefully took them off, then jumped out of the car and walked towards a tall building.
Elevator Game…
Lu Yanli closed his eyes.
I hope he won't go back to that strange world with fake parents.
After searching for several buildings, I finally found one that didn't require ID. The building was very old, the light bulbs on the first floor were cracked, and there were colorful and exaggerated advertising slogans on the outside. The outside of the elevator was also scribbled with simple drawings like children's graffiti, and some things that looked like slogans.
"Now, let's get started."
Fortunately, there was an elevator in this building, so the window could still be used. The two of them piled up a lot of debris outside the building to block the door to prevent anyone from accidentally breaking in.
Then they entered the elevator.
The last time, I was forced into another world.
This time, I took the initiative to look for it.
Lu Yanli pressed the button for the highest level.
The elevator slowly rose to the 20th floor, and with a "ding" sound, the door opened.
Outside the door was a dark corridor with nothing in it. Lu Yanli pressed button 2, and the elevator door closed and descended again.
Second floor, no abnormalities.
Nineteenth floor, no abnormalities.
Three floors, no abnormalities...
No matter which floor they were on, they opened into a long, empty corridor. The two did not go out, but waited quietly in the elevator. They did not know what result they would have to wait for.
The elevator gradually stopped at the middle floors.
It's starting to get colder...
Lu Yanli noticed that the temperature in the air was gradually dropping, and his intuition told him that something strange was about to happen.
Lin Chutong was like this. In the past, she would have said something to ease the atmosphere. But now... the chilling feeling made her dare not speak at all.
She realized that something... was approaching them!
When the elevator stopped on the ninth floor, the ominous feeling of danger reached its peak!
Almost at the moment when the elevator door opened, the two of them lowered their heads, and then...
A figure stood outside the door.
Neither of them looked at the figure, they simply closed their eyes and leaned against the wall. But they could still vaguely sense that thing... Come in!
The temperature dropped to the lowest level in an instant, the lights in the elevator flickered, and there was a slight crackling sound of electricity.
Lu Yanli leaned against the keypad, reached out and groped, pressing the number for the next floor.
The elevator slowly rises.
However, this time, the elevator seemed to be unable to bear the weight and made a slight creaking sound, and the metallic friction between the walls was deafening.
"... where are you... going?"
It was the voice of a completely unfamiliar woman, hoarse, low, and extremely close.
It’s as if she whispered these words into your ear.
Lu Yanli pretended not to hear, and so did Lin Chu. They both closed their eyes and did not answer.
"Go... where to?" The woman's voice was intermittent, her throat seemed broken, and the pronunciation of each word was like the gurgling sound of water being squeezed out of a rusty old water pipe.
“Go…go…”
Twelve floor, to the top.
The woman didn't go out, she was still talking.
Lu Yanli pressed the button for the eighth floor.
The elevator began to descend.
However, this...
The time it takes for the elevator to descend becomes significantly longer!
Judging from the picture, it’s not going to the eighth floor at all!
"Go..." the woman spoke intermittently.
If the two of them opened their eyes, they would find that she was still standing there without moving, but her neck was stretched and twisted, reaching between the two of them, and she was speaking softly.
The elevator was still falling and had already passed the eighth floor.
It has already descended at least ten floors! And it still hasn't stopped!
Stop now!
Lu Yanli pressed the emergency button and fumbled for the number 8 again, but it was of no use. The elevator was still falling at a constant speed.
It's... completely beyond the scope of this building. I don't know where to take them.
"Accompany me... to... die?..."
The woman stretched her neck to whisper in the two men's ears and finally said the last sentence.
The next moment, the elevator stopped and the door opened.
The two of them remained motionless, like statues. No one went out, nor did they develop any unnecessary curiosity.
After a while, the elevator door closed.
Lu Yanli pressed the eighth level.
The elevator goes up.
But they still didn't open their eyes. They could feel that the woman was still there! She was staring at them with the most malicious eyes in the world. Once they opened their eyes, this woman would take them to another world!
The elevator went up to the thirteenth floor and then opened.
Unlike before, a warm and humid breath rushed in.
Then, the sound of a woman's high-heeled shoes was heard... She walked out!
The two of them instantly felt relieved, and after listening carefully to the other party's confirmation, they lowered their heads and tentatively... opened their eyes little by little.
Lin Chu just opened his eyes and was startled.
On the ground, at her feet, a head rolled down, and she was very familiar with the appearance of that head.
Chu Xiu? !
What is it? It's him
The head clearly looked like it had died with its eyes open, its bulging eyes staring at her. Lin Chu froze in place for a moment and immediately closed her eyes, but after a moment she realized that nothing was wrong and opened them again carefully.
Only then did she realize that it wasn’t just Chu Xiu’s head, but also... Lu Yanli’s
Lu Yanli was staring into the eyes of his own mock head, seemingly thinking about something.
If this scene wasn't a little weird, she would even want to take a picture of it.
"What..." Lin Chu finally asked, "Let me confirm, are you still alive?"
"I'm not sure." Lu Yanli said, "Is there any difference between being alive and being dead?"
He bent down, picked up the head that looked exactly like his own, and examined it carefully.
It looked like the body had died not long ago, probably within an hour, and had not yet begun to decay.
The cross section is very smooth, as if it was cut directly.
Lin Chu felt his scalp tingling a little. He swallowed his saliva and took a small step back. He saw that the other party was doing the same thing and was studying Chu Xiu's head at the same time.
"You said you knew Chu Xiu." Lu Yanli asked, "He's still alive, right?"
"right."
"But now, his head appears here, and it doesn't look fake." Lu Yanli put down the two heads, "That is to say, Lu Yanli and Chu Xiu in this world are dead."
“From this world?…” Lin Chu keenly noticed something.
The elevator door opened and she subconsciously looked outside.
At the door, there were two headless corpses, one lying horizontally and the other hanging upside down. Judging from their body shapes, it was easy to tell that they were a match for the two heads in the elevator.
Lin Chu looked outside and then inside.
"So, you have multiple worlds?"
"Maybe. Maybe in another world, Chu Xiu and I were playing the elevator game, and I died in the elevator because I didn't get out." Lu Yanli analyzed the cause of his own death in another world with an expressionless face.
"I'm more curious." Lin Chu pointed outside, "Why are there so many strange worlds popping up? Do you want to go out and take a look?"
"Okay." This was actually Lu Yanli's purpose.
He paused at the door for a moment, made sure there was no danger, and walked out.
Lin Chu followed him and walked downstairs.
When they left, the elevator door remained open.
The two headless corpses staggered to their feet and walked towards the elevator.
We... have been looking for our own heads.
In the corner of the elevator, where neither of them noticed, suddenly, a small twisted red statue appeared.
"… Entering the fourth floor again!"
