Lu Yanli in this timeline is opening the door.
He had long realized that every room behind a door was a world.
The various supernatural phenomena he had encountered before might be due to the strange objects in the containment, or perhaps... it was because of his current actions. It was hard to tell whether it was because of his past experiences that he had re-entered the gate to create supernatural phenomena. It was because he had created supernatural phenomena inside the gate.
He was stuck in a vicious cycle that he couldn't break out of.
Finally, he came to the end of the corridor.
"How long has it been?" Lu Yanli asked, his hand on the handle of the last door, about to push it open.
"Two hours," said the brain.
"Really?" He had been in the world inside the door for a very long time, and he didn't know how many years had passed. But in the corridor of reality, he was just going from one door to the next repeatedly.
Looking back, there was a long white corridor and two neat rows of regular room doors. Those were not ordinary doors; they represented everything he had experienced in the past nearly a decade.
Is there anything in the last door
"Are you sure you want to open the door?" The voice in the brain was a little strange, with a tone that Lu Yanli could hardly distinguish.
Lu Yanli: "Any questions?" As he spoke, he placed his hand on the handle, about to press down -
"boom!"
The wall at the end of the corridor was smashed by the force, leaving a huge mark bulging inwards, and soon there was another one.
Something is about to break in!
"The research institute has finally been invaded?" Lu Yanli pushed open the door and stepped in. He looked back. The wall was cracked with fine and dense cracks, and countless tiny soft flesh-red tentacles emerged from the cracks. They seemed to be corrosive, and white smoke came out of the contact surface with the special building materials.
The whole wall seemed to be about to collapse.
"Are you there?"
The brain rarely answered. Lu Yanli guessed that it needed to deal with the invasion of strange objects. He sat quietly for a while, and only turned and walked in when the wall collapsed completely.
He saw countless strange vines coming in from the cracks, and it looked like they were coming from the upper floors, so it must be a mutated tree. Then, countless strange creatures poured in from the holes and fled into the pure white building of the institute.
There was no one on the first floor, and the strange creatures that had temporarily escaped danger rushed into the corridor and started fighting again. Strange liquids and limbs splashed everywhere, instantly covering the entire pure white floor.
After closing the door, the wailing from the outside world could no longer be heard, and what appeared before his eyes was another corridor.
Lu Yanli heard the voice of the brain again, "Go down along the corridor, to the room at the end, the machine is there, the researchers have determined the world location, and we can leave now."
It seemed very excited and continued, "My real body is also in the corridor. When you leave, you must take me with you."
"How do I bring you here?" Lu Yanli asked.
Brain: "I can temporarily disconnect from the machines and databases that provide me with nutrition."
It’s just a brain, not heavy. Lu Yanli hesitated for a while, but finally agreed.
"I've given you staff privileges, go now. In five minutes, the first floor will also be invaded."
Lu Yanli had to ask while running: "Where is the other me? Where is he?"
"He's already at the bottom, not you." The brain kept urging.
"Why not open the fast lane or the elevator?" The corridor was very long, and it was a bit difficult for Lu Yanli to run to the end in five minutes. He wanted to open the doors on both sides of the corridor to check, but his brain was urging him to hurry, and the noisy sound of the strange creatures was approaching, so he had to run to the end according to the instructions.
This kind of layout... is like a zigzag staircase connecting one floor to the next.
"The only staff members who are not infected are on the last underground floor. The others have been completely infected."
Just as he finished speaking, the door handle not far behind Lu Yanli was twisted frantically, as if something was trying to escape from inside.
Not just one door, but almost all the door handles in the entire corridor were turned at the same time. Along with a huge roar of the ceiling exploding from top to bottom, a door was pushed open, and countless twisting red fleshy vines waved, they smelled the smell of food in the room.
"Hurry!" the brain urged.
A little girl in a red skirt pushed open the door and came out. She was very cute, with fair and tender skin, and had two pigtails that swayed as she walked. When she smiled, her sharp fangs were exposed. She stretched out her hand to tear apart a vine branch that stretched out from above, and put it into her mouth to chew it vigorously.
Various strange creatures also appeared from other doors. A girl was singing loudly, her face intoxicated, but no sound audible to human ears came out of her open mouth. As the "singing" became louder and louder, the walls around her began to disintegrate and crack. Lu Yanli, who had just escaped to the end of the corridor and opened the door to go to the next floor, also heard her silent voice. Until he arrived at the next floor, the pain in his head that was almost broken still did not disappear.
"Faster. The same goes for the next floor." The brain urged.
Without him saying anything more, Lu Yanli started running. When he was about four-fifths of the way there, he heard the sound of the door opening.
The surroundings were quiet and there seemed to be nothing unusual. Lu Yanli did not look back, but the sense of crisis in his heart was growing stronger.
The next moment, he dodged suddenly and avoided the attack from above. Looking up, he saw a dirty little boy crawling on the ceiling. When he saw Lu Yanli looking at him, he gave him an innocent smile like a real child, and then he got on all fours and crawled after the man.
“Is there any solution?”
The ceiling collapsed faster than the previous floor. Monsters from the surface and alienated monsters from the research institute continued to accumulate. If this continued, Lu Yanli was worried that he would never be able to reach the underground.
Brain: “No.”
“Even green spores don’t work?” Lu Yanli dodged the twisted vines coming from the upper level, casually pulled the little boy down from the ceiling and threw him over, then continued to flee downwards.
"So, I can control it."
Lu Yanli: "Then, after I enter the next level, I can pour in sea water, can I do it?"
Brain: "So, there are similar devices on each layer, but there is no guarantee that the seawater will not be mixed with other objects. Also, those two objects are in the sea, so maybe they will use the seawater as a medium."
Lu Yanli understood what it meant. The two statues were devouring each other. If he got any seawater on him, it would be possible that the coordinates would be used to find the underground location of the research institute. This was not what the brain wanted to see.
"I can ensure that I won't be found."
"Okay, now, get ready."
As he spoke, Lu Yanli had already reached the end of the corridor, opened the door and rushed in.
There was another pure white corridor, and once again, he heard the sound of sea water coming from above.
He had no time to think and started running desperately. At the place where he had just stood, the wall at the end of the corridor had cracks due to the violent attack, and some kind of liquid mixed with sea water and strange-colored blood oozed out, following the footsteps of the man on the other side as if it had life.
The cracked walls could no longer withstand the waves of attacks from the outside world and exploded with a loud bang. Seawater poured out from the hole and poured into the corridor.
"quick!"
