Chapter 214 Endless Stairs
Yes, although the Southeast Branch is of similar size, it is indeed too tiring for her and Xiaoman to search the entire branch compared to six people looking for one branch. Moreover, the larger the place and the fewer people there are, the more fearful they will feel.
The two walked down the stairs to the bottom, then passed through the corridor connecting the southeast branch and arrived at the first floor of the South Branch.
The first floor was empty.
The two went upstairs and came to the corridor between the second and third floors, where they saw two students squatting on the ground.
Zhou Wu recognized him at a glance: "Lei Zi, Ma Dapao?"
The two were stunned for a moment, and one of the tall and strong boys asked in surprise: "Aren't you in the East Branch? Why are you here?"
Zhou Wu shook the diary proudly, "I have found something, what about you?"
"Shh, don't talk! Ma Dapao, listen quickly!" Another tall and thin boy handed the Walkman to Ma Dapao.
Ma Dapao signaled Zhou Wu not to speak, put on headphones and listen quietly.
After listening to this, they both laughed wildly and deeply at the same time.
Zhou Wu was very curious: "What are you listening to? Wait, isn't that the suicide man's Walkman?"
Lei Zi said excitedly: "This Walkman contains the last words of the deceased!"
Zhou Wu became even more curious: "What last words could make you two so happy?"
The two looked at each other and didn't tell Zhou Wu. They just smiled and said, "Lei Zi and I have found something. I wonder if Lao Luo and the others have found it."
"Let's go up and take a look."
The two walked in front, Jiang Ci and Zhou Wu followed behind. Just as they reached the third floor, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from the corridor behind them.
Jiang Ci turned around and saw three men and one woman coming up, her face changed slightly!
Because just now she was absolutely sure that there was no one behind her!
These three men and one woman seemed to appear out of nowhere.
"Lao Luo, Wang Xin, Liu Lei and Pingping! Did you find anything too?" Ma Dapao greeted them excitedly, seemingly not noticing anything was wrong.
The four were equally surprised to see them.
The leader, Lao Luo, was a little older, had stubble on his chin, and looked very shrewd. He smiled and said, "Yes, we were just about to gather on the rooftop."
"Then let's go together!" Zhou Wu joined them excitedly.
Jiang Ci stood behind and looked at the seven students. Except for Zhou Wu, who was already known to be dead, she couldn't tell whether the others were dead or alive.
She thought for a moment, pretended nothing had happened, and put her hand on the shoulder of the girl named Pingping.
"What time is it now?"
Ping Ping looked at her watch: "11:50."
When they heard this, they became anxious. "It's almost twelve o'clock. Let's gather on the rooftop!"
Seven people ran upstairs in a hurry.
Jiang Ci looked deep in the eyes and followed them silently.
Just now when she touched the girl named Pingping, she felt her body was cold, but she was not dead.
As for the rest of us…
She narrowed her eyes slightly, wondering whether she should knock them all out and try them out.
Just when she was about to attack the boy in front of her.
Jiang Ci's eyes suddenly stopped and he looked at the floor number in disbelief.
“Third floor?!”
She and they climbed from the third floor to the fourth floor, and then from the fourth floor to the fifth floor. Now the floor number should be the fifth floor, but it has become the third floor.
What's even more strange is that the seven people didn't feel anything was wrong at all and continued chatting as they walked up the stairs.
Ma Dapao asked them: "Liu Lei, Pingping, weren't you two on the fourth floor? When did you come down to the third floor?"
Pingping smiled shyly: "Brother Liu and I found the watch effortlessly, so we thought we'd go downstairs and help you look for it."
Jiang Ci: “…”
Haven’t these people noticed anything wrong?
The person who was supposed to go downstairs came up from downstairs...
Zhou Wu took Pingping's arm and complained, "Pingping is still the best. Xiaoman and I are in the same team and I don't know where she has gone."
"The pen was damn hard to find. Thanks to Lao Luo and Ping Ping's help, Wang Xin and I found it." Lao Luo also complained: "Guess where the pen is hidden?"
"Where?"
"Hidden in the storage room of the biology department, in a white skeleton!" Lao Luo said, taking out the pen.
Zhou Wu asked curiously: "The pen seems to be hard to find. How did you confirm that this is the one?"
Lao Luo chuckled: "This person committed suicide by using a pen. The most obvious thing is that there is blood on the pen."
He uncapped the pen.
There was a layer of black blood on the tip of the pen.
"It's true!" Several people gathered over to see.
"I heard that the man stabbed his throat with this pen."
"Oh my god, what a grudge he has against me. It'll be such a painful way to die with a pierced throat!"
"If I want to die one day, I will definitely choose euthanasia." Zhou Wu smiled, "Of course, the most peaceful way to die in the world is to die peacefully in your sleep when you are old."
Ma Dapao insulted her: "Hahaha, you're overthinking it. Only old people with great fortune can die in such a way. You don't look like a blessed person at first glance."
Zhou Wu turned her head away in anger.
Jiang Ci looked at her and saw that her head was strangely turned back to look at her.
"Xiaoci, hurry up and catch up!"
"Yeah." Jiang Ci nodded silently, then turned her head back.
No one else noticed this strange scene.
They were still chatting as they walked up the stairs. Even though they had already climbed several floors, the floor number still only showed: Fourth Floor.
Jiang Ci patted Pingping on the shoulder and asked her, "What time is it?"
Ping Ping looked down at her watch: "It's eleven fifty."
After she finished speaking, she continued to walk upstairs. The number for the fourth floor kept appearing in front of her, but no one looked at it.
Jiang Ci: “…”
There were endless stairs, and she was too lazy to walk any further, so she just stood there, leaning against the wall, watching them go up.
Dozens of seconds later.
Sure enough, seven people came up from downstairs.
Zhou Wu was the first to notice her and asked in surprise: "Xiao Ci, why are you running so fast!"
Jiang Ci smiled without saying anything, folded his arms, and continued to lean against the wall, watching them go upstairs and appear again from downstairs.
This cycle continued for more than a dozen times.
Zhou Wu also greeted her more than a dozen times.
Seeing them happily going up and down, Jiang Ci finally called them impatiently.
"Haven't you noticed that you've been wandering around the fourth floor?"
She had just checked and it wasn't a ghost wall.
But they just couldn't get to the fifth floor, as if they were trapped in a corridor in a time loop.
Zhou Wu and everyone else looked at her in surprise: "No."
Jiang Ci asked Ping Ping again, "What time is it?"
Ping Ping looked at her watch and said truthfully, "Eleven fifty."
"The time has stopped at 11:50, and you have been wandering around here." Jiang Ci ordered indifferently, "Zhou Wu and Pingping stay, and the others continue to go upstairs, and you will know what went wrong."
