Chapter 100 I'm going to disappoint you
No one paid any attention to the deliberately provocative words.
Anyone with a bit of common sense knows that the existence of monsters is to cause trouble for them. After walking for so long, it is idiotic to continue to fight among themselves irrationally.
Two hours left in the countdown, the last two corridors, it's over once we finish walking through them, who wants to create trouble at this time?
There are no fools here.
The monster in the wrong corridor stopped crying. It just leaned against the invisible space, looking at the five people who walked into its field of vision, chewing and chewing without stopping.
Lin Han couldn't see, so the sound was quite scary to him, but others didn't care that much.
Jiang Lili only took a look at it and threw the ball to the other side of the corridor. After confirming that the ball did not move, she led people to the correct side.
She recited it to herself with every step forward.
Second to last... Second to last...
It's all coming to an end.
Knowing that Lin Han was staring at the countdown, the other three who still had the strength couldn't help but quietly open the task list to take a look.
Throwing the ball was useless, and watching the countdown was even more useless, but no matter which one they did, it made them feel happier and more at ease, and even their steps became lighter.
This was the first time they saw such clear hope of passing the customs.
The countdown is always exciting.
The same goes for Lin Han.
【Countdown: 1:00:00】
The last choice is before you.
Because of the existence of that monster, everything is no longer a mystery.
But this time, Lin Han did not hear the sound of Jiang Lili throwing the ball, and Dai Zisheng, who was pulling him, also stopped, so Lin Han, who could not see, could only stand there.
"What's wrong?"
This time it was Lin Han's turn to ask.
Jiang Lili's voice was tense: "...We have reached the end."
"There's no road ahead, it's a door."
Since the countdown represents distance, there will naturally be an end.
They had already thought about what the end would be, perhaps a dead end, or perhaps monsters. In any case, when they reached the end, their countdown would reach 0, and completing this dungeon was just around the corner.
Whatever it is they will move forward.
But they did not expect that there would be a door here.
The corridor looked just like the one they had seen when they walked out of the initial room, with the same wooden floor, the same lights, and the same red-painted wooden door embedded in the wall.
The same length of corridor.
Looks very familiar.
Because of this familiarity, they inexplicably developed a strange feeling that they had taken the wrong path and were back to the starting point.
However, the layout of the left and right selection corridors made this speculation impossible, so they were sure that it was just a similar corridor and a similar door.
And, the real wall and door had already caught up with them, leaving them with little time to think.
Dai Zisheng was talking to Lin Han about the current situation.
Jiang Lili looked at the pale and blue monster not far from them, then looked at the door at the end of the corridor in front of her and rolled a ball towards it.
It was still a useless effort to lose the ball.
The ball rolled on the ground, and the sound that was clearly audible at first gradually faded away. This corridor was longer than any corridor they had walked through before.
Then the ball exhausted all the force that Jiang Lili applied to it in the middle of the corridor and stopped moving.
So it was as safe as any other corridor they had walked through before.
Until it starts rolling again.
Instead of rolling towards Lin Han and the others, the ball rolled towards the door, getting faster and faster, and finally hit the door.
"Bang!"
Even from such a long distance, Lin Han could hear the voice.
After being bounced off, the ball rolled over again and hit the door again, making another slight sound.
This time Lin Han heard it again.
The corridor is too quiet.
The corridor was silent except for the sound of the monster chewing. They could hear the sound of the ball hitting the door clearly in the gaps between the chewing sounds.
Like a knock on the door.
Then the door opened, and there was no light inside.
Because it was too far away, even the light from the corridor made it pitch black. Neither Jiang Lili, Dai Zisheng, nor Wen Chengdu could see anything.
They just saw the ball roll in through the crack of the goal.
Then the door closed.
Nothing has changed, as if it had never been turned on.
The last corridor is different from the countless corridors we have walked through before.
It is dangerous.
There's a dangerous door at the end of it.
There is a monster on the left and a door on the right. Neither side is safe.
Jiang Lili didn't know which way to go, so she told the blind Lin Han everything she had seen, wondering if he could give her some advice.
"So, which way are you going?"
The haunting voice came out again to make its presence felt.
It tried to influence everyone, especially Lin Han.
"Left or right?"
Lin Han remained silent and was unwilling to answer him.
The monster didn't seem angry at the moment, and even came up to blow towards Lin Han's face, sending a cold wind whistling.
"Do you think you can pass the level safely by discovering the secret of the countdown?" It whispered word by word in Lin Han's ear, the voice so soft that only Lin Han could hear it, and then gradually became louder because of its good mood, "No, of course not, both sides..."
“Dead end!”
The word "death" was particularly clear and struck everyone's heart heavily.
But it didn't seem satisfied with Lin Han's silence.
It didn't care about other people's expressions. From beginning to end, it only cared about Lin Han's emotions.
"Oh, I forgot. You haven't seen it before, right? Well, I'll be kind and let you take a look first."
What do you see?
Lin Han was confused for a moment, not knowing what it was saying. But the next second after the words fell, he felt his left eyelid being forcibly pulled open by fingers. The light that he had not seen for so long stimulated his eyes so much that he wanted to close them uncontrollably, but he couldn't close them at all.
He was forced to see the shape of the monster in the corridor on the left.
As physiological tears flowed, Lin Han saw the monster's blue limbs and bright red eyes in the flickering light of the tears.
There are also sharp white teeth all over the mouth when it is open.
It bit its teeth right in front of Lin Han's eyes, and a "crunch" chewing sound was heard.
Because of the tears, the shape of the monster gradually distorted and changed with refraction, and it was frozen into an extremely terrifying appearance in Lin Han's eyes.
The fingers that forced Lin Han to open his eyes loosened and covered his eyes again.
Darkness returned again, but there was still a flash of white light in front of Lin Han's eyes. The white figure of the monster flashed from time to time in the dark vision, and he began to cry uncontrollably again.
"Do you want to watch the door?" The monster on Lin Han's body was still talking in his ear, as if deliberately teasing him, just do what it wanted to do.
This was an inquiry, but it didn't give Lin Han a chance to refuse.
It forced Lin Han to open his other eye, and Lin Han was forced to watch the red door at the end of the corridor open, revealing the bottomless darkness inside.
This time, Lin Han couldn't even see the door clearly. He only saw a hazy block of color. The door and the darkness were actually his imagination.
but……
[Whether to use a unique perspective for this character]
A series of questions appeared in Lin Han's mind. Despite the long distance and dark place, the unique perspective still gave him a momentary reminder.
Both of his eyes were tearing up and he couldn't see anything clearly.
After returning to darkness, he stood there, crying as if out of fear, uncontrollable tears flowing from under the monster's palm covering him, gathering into teardrops on his chin, and falling to the ground drop by drop.
"laugh."
It laughed in Lin Han's ear, as if it could no longer hold back its joy and let it slip out of its mouth.
The other four people watched this scene quietly. For the first time, they truly felt that the monster in Lin Han was even more...disgusting than their own.
But no one could help him.
So choose left... or right?
Lin Han: "Right. Go this way."
They are very cautious, so even if there are monsters on the other side, they still have to throw a ball to explore the way on the relatively safe side.
But if it weren't them, but someone else in this copy, perhaps they wouldn't waste value points over and over again doing such useless work.
When they see monsters on the other side, they will go straight into the safe corridor.
Therefore, players who keep moving forward and gradually become numb will continue to move forward numbly even if there is a sudden change in front of them, and it is no longer an ordinary corridor but a door, and they are completely unaware of the changes in the countdown.
On the way here just now, Lin Han tested it. Every time he took a step, the time jumped two minutes, but the number of seconds was random.
Even if they reach the end of the corridor, they still have to wait patiently for the random seconds to return to zero.
But if they walked through that door and took that step, what would the countdown become?
It will probably become negative.
Will there be a chance for the countdown to reset to zero?
Won't.
Once you go in, you can't get out.
Once you choose either path, you can never go back.
[Behind] The choices made in the copy cannot be withdrawn. Once you make a choice, you must go to the end.
As for the monsters...
Oh.
Lin Han pulled up a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and tears flowed into his mouth, with a bitter and salty taste.
He never considered taking the path where the monster was.
From the first left or right choice until the one they just passed, the corridor where the monster was located was the wrong and dangerous side.
They firmly believed that if they made the wrong choice they would die, so no matter what, they would not get close to it or go to the side where the monster was.
They have survived to this day and are standing safely on the last road, which means that their choice was not wrong.
In the dozens of choices before, the monster had never been their alternative, and it would not be included in the selection range in the last choice.
Wrong is always wrong.
It doesn't suddenly become correct just because of who it is compared with.
So Lin Han was certain that their only chance of survival was in front of that door.
There is a blatant trap hidden in the choices given by the monster.
Jiang Lili and the others were all trapped in it, and they really started to think about which was more dangerous, the door or the monster they had seen all the way.
But Lin Han had played word games with players many times before, and he saw it clearly.
No one questioned him.
After he finished speaking, Jiang Lili didn't even hesitate and began to walk into the long corridor that she was familiar with and afraid of.
She walked in completely, stood inside, turned around and waited for others to follow.
So Dai Zisheng pulled Lin Han, Wen Cheng dragged Ye Ting, and all five of them walked in.
The countdown starts ticking down.
This means that their choice was not wrong.
The wall behind them was getting closer, and they quickened their pace.
The laughter in Lin Han's ears stopped, but he could hear the other person's breathing.
He had no intention of caring about what the other party thought; he just wanted to complete the dungeon alive.
There was a wall and a door in front, and a wall and a door behind. Both sides were exactly the same. Jiang Lili, who was leading the way, began to feel dazed.
She even felt that she was standing still and two walls were closing in on her, trying to trap her in between.
Did she make the wrong choice?
She couldn't help but think so.
But as her pace slowed down uncontrollably, she heard a voice behind her.
"Keep going and don't stop."
The voice was a little weak, but very calm, which made her head clearer instantly.
"Pay attention to the countdown. After the last minute, stand still. Do not open the door or go in."
The front wall and the door behind it are dangerous areas. If you go in outside the time limit, you will die. The same goes for the wall behind it.
But players always have to have a chance to pass the level.
The countdown represents time and distance. When it returns to zero, the wall may not move forward, or the player may pass the dungeon while the wall is swallowing them, which allows them to survive.
For such a long and tiring copy, it's really stingy to give such a narrow glimmer of hope.
Lin Han felt exhausted from the bottom of his heart.
They soon stood in front of the door, and the countdown entered the final minute and seconds.
[Countdown: 0:00:59]
Sure enough, the copy wasn't so kind as to give them a random 9S, but instead let them spend a full minute.
Lin Han sighed: "......"
This was expected.
The distance an adult takes a step is not wide enough, so the five people stood together, tightly holding the sleeves of the people next to them.
Ye Ting was picked up by Wen Cheng and leaned against his chest.
If she lay on the ground she would surely die, she would be eaten by the wall.
She had fallen into an unconscious state. Even though Lin Han was still treating her, she still couldn't open her eyes. Only the faint breathing from the tip of her nose told everyone that she was still alive.
Her face went from red at first to ashen now. She was almost hugged to death by the monster on her body.
The thing Lin Han was carrying on her was costing her life.
At this time, Lin Han didn't think the treatment was bad. He felt it was pretty good. After all, he could save a person's life with it.
At such a close distance, with the clear sound of her dying breathing, he didn't dare to imagine how much psychological trauma he would suffer if he really let go and let her die.
He coughed lightly.
Jiang Lili was behind him, breathing heavily: "The wall didn't come over...ha...it didn't come over."
She was actually still in a trance. It wasn't that the wall hadn't come over, it was just that the time hadn't come yet.
But Lin Han couldn't see the wall, he just listened to whatever he could hear and watched the countdown.
[Countdown: 0:00:22]
It's almost over.
He was very tired and wanted to go back to the dormitory to sleep.
The dormitory at the academy was so comfortable, and the bed was so comfy too. He wanted to sleep until he woke up naturally, and even go to Alfred's restaurant for dinner...
No need to pay...
The monster beside his ear remained silent. Lin Han felt vaguely that it was a little strange and wondered why it didn't make a "lasting struggle", but his mind was not very clear either.
In the last ten seconds, he was already imagining taking a shower when he got home.
“Squeak—”
The door opened.
It was the red-painted wooden door at the end of the corridor that opened.
The sound gave people goosebumps all over their body, and cold air suddenly wafted out from it, and half of Lin Han's body was frozen almost stiff.
He suddenly woke up.
"Don't move!"
It doesn't matter if the door is open, they just need to stand here.
In the last eight seconds, no matter what you see, don't...
see?
It was dark all around.
But he seemed to be able to see suddenly.
There was a faint light in the darkness, very dim, as if it would go out at any time, but because it was too dim, Lin Han was not irritated by the light and shed tears.
But there was no light in the corridor.
There was no light in the door, the wall behind me was closing in, and the light above my head was also completely blocked.
The light Lin Han saw was the light that appeared in his palm when he was treating Ye Ting.
He had been in the darkness for too long and was used to it, so with that little light he could see everything around him clearly.
He saw Wen Cheng and Dai Zisheng in front of him with their closed eyes and ferocious, trembling faces. He saw Ye Ting opening her mouth in vain, unable to even breathe. He saw a hand reaching out from behind him. It was a hand as white as a cabbage leaf, grabbing Ye Ting's wrist hanging by her side, lifting it and stretching it into the bottomless darkness on the other side of the door.
The monster behind him finally released the hand that was covering his eyes and gave him back the right to see the world again.
But Lin Han heard its low laughter in his ear again, trembling like a madman.
"She is... because of you..."
In the darkness on the other side of the door, one hand after another covered Ye Ting's outstretched hand, grabbing her fingertips, wrists and arms, holding her tightly, slowly pulling her out of Wen Cheng's arms and pulling her into the door.
Wen Cheng couldn't keep her.
The monster laughed wildly in his ear, as if even if it couldn't keep Lin Han, it wanted to leave him with a deep memory.
[Countdown: 0:00:09]
Lin Han's pupils shrank, and he sighed again, but still reached out and grabbed Ye Ting's arm.
The laughter in my ears stopped abruptly, and there was a hint of disbelief in the long silence.
They did not let go of Ye Ting's hand and also targeted Lin Han's hand, wanting to drag him in as well.
The exclusive perspective began to frantically call the police.
Lin Han clenched his right hand hanging by his side.
He didn't want to use it, but he was forced to waste it here.
Lin Han: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I have more than one way to cheat."
[Countdown: 0:00:04]
-----------------------
Author's Note: [Starry Eyes] Having Lin Han rescue her was a long-planned plot, but yesterday, while writing this chapter, I was helping a sanitation worker push his cart on my way to work, and suddenly it struck me: No matter how old I am, I still seem to be a good person. Just like Xiao Han, hehe! So happy! I'm writing this so much!
