Coli pulled Shirley and stumbled around in the building. He held a very small flashlight in his hand. The weak light could only illuminate a distance of one meter in front of them. This was the only prop they could use.
The location where the game was teleported was a building with no lights. It was so dark that I couldn't even see my own hands. I could only rely on the sound of people's voices to identify their locations.
When they first entered the game, there were six of them acting together. Unconsciously, the number of people decreased, and when they realized it, there were only three people left.
This flashlight is held by the player walking in front. Because the props cannot be exchanged after the game starts, as novices they only have ten points given, and ten points cannot be exchanged for anything good. Many people enter the novice copy with basically nothing, just waiting to win points after successfully passing the level to buy good props.
Only one player redeemed a small flashlight in advance, which turned out to be very useful in such an environment.
The people behind Keli and his sister Shirley disappeared one by one. They thought that everyone was a little nervous in such an environment, so they gradually stopped talking.
In fact, they all disappeared, without any sound or trace, as if they had just disappeared out of thin air.
The three of them were frightened when they found there was no one behind them. They huddled together and moved forward step by step. Shirley held her brother's arm tightly, her palms becoming wet.
I walked down the corridor and stairs, thinking that I could at least leave this damn building, but I couldn't get out after walking for a long time.
"Gudong."
Shirley tightened her fingers, grasped Keli's arm tightly, and asked in a trembling voice: "Did you hear anything just now?"
It was a bit like the sound of someone swallowing saliva, very low, and she couldn't hear where the sound came from.
The three of them stopped at the same time, and the player holding the flashlight slowly shone the surroundings. The dark green wall was bumpy, with a gray-black cement layer exposed inside.
The white walls in the upper part seemed to have been damp, showing irregular yellow marks. The white paint was covered with wrinkles and raised lines after being damp, like wrinkled skin.
It was too dark in the distance to see anything, but at least there was nothing unusual in the small area where they were.
The player breathed a sigh of relief, and his right hand holding the flashlight loosened a little. His palms were full of sweat, damp and hot, and he felt that the flashlight was about to slip out.
This game can project all the psychological and physiological states of the player, which can be said to be almost 100% simulated.
Even though he knew nothing could really happen to him, he still sweated a lot in such an atmosphere.
Just as he was about to continue moving down with the two people beside him, he suddenly felt a chill on the tip of his nose.
Yes, is there a leak?
I touched the tip of my nose with my left index finger and subconsciously twisted it with my thumb, only to find that it was not water, but a small drop of sticky liquid.
Only then did the player remember that he had only looked around and not up.
A sudden chill ran up his spine, and his hair stood on end. As if he had anticipated something, he looked up with a flashlight, trembling.
Under the bleak white halo, it was not very clear to see, but the scene still made everyone present shudder.
There was a large oval-shaped lump protruding from the ceiling, and the white wall was cracked into countless black cracks, and was even covered with yellow and green mold spots. The largest crack in the center of the swelling was expanding as if it was breathing, and even clear saliva was flowing out of the crack.
This scene happened in just a blink of an eye. The pupils of the three people shrank sharply. Before they could make any move, the huge crack pulled the surrounding wall and swooped down, engulfing the player in front in one bite.
Only the flashlight was left, rolling a few times on the ground.
“Ahhhhhh!”
The two people who were facing the monster's predation screamed and collapsed to the ground. After the monster swallowed the players, it immediately shrank back into the ceiling and did not seem to be in a hurry to prey on the other two.
Although Keli was so scared that he collapsed, he still had some consciousness. He picked up the flashlight that rolled to his feet with one hand and pulled Shirley with the other hand, running for his life.
The two men ran for their lives, broke into one of the rooms like lost lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and immediately locked the door.
This action seemed to give them some sense of security. Shirley had no strength left. If it weren't for Keli pulling her, she wouldn't have been able to move even a step.
Sitting on the ground, panting heavily and leaning against the cold wall, Shirley thought of the scene she had just seen. She shuddered and quickly moved towards her brother. She didn't stop until she leaned against Keli's warm arm and felt the cold and hard touch of the wooden door behind her.
Keli was also exhausted and huddled tightly together with his sister. The two of them leaned on each other and relied on the flashlight in Keli's hand to maintain their remaining sanity.
"Just now, what was that thing just now?" Shirley was still numb and trembling all over.
Keli shook his head, his voice trembling, "Maybe, it's the monster we want to fight."
"Who wants to hit that kind of thing!" Shirley's face was full of resistance, and her voice couldn't help but get a little higher.
"Shh~ Be careful that the monster might hear you." Keli immediately reminded in a low voice.
Shirley quickly shut her mouth and stopped talking.
Holding the flashlight tightly, Keli calmed himself down and then remembered to investigate the situation inside the house. For a moment he didn't dare to walk around and could only stretch out his arm and use the flashlight to look around.
This should be a dormitory. There is a bunk bed neatly placed on each side. There seems to be a table in the middle, but he can't see it clearly and he doesn't dare to go over to take a closer look.
He had only seen this kind of dormitory in history books. It was a style from thousands of years ago. There should be windows at the innermost part, which might be able to tell where they were now.
The door was on the far right, and they were all sitting on the ground, their view blocked by the tall bunk beds. Keli couldn't see whether there was a window or not, so he could only stand up, hold on to the door, and stretch the flashlight to the side as far as possible.
As the light flickered, I seemed to see a black shadow standing inside.
My heart skipped a beat and a chill ran down my spine. I thought, maybe I was seeing things. It might be a clothes hanger or something.
Although he was comforting himself in this way, his body became increasingly stiff, and the trembling that had just stopped began again.
Even Shirley beside him sensed something was wrong, so she stood up and asked quietly, "What's wrong?"
In the light, she saw her brother's eyes wide open, staring somewhere. She also looked in the direction of his gaze, but could not see anything, it was too dark.
The dormitory was silent for a while.
Because their vision was blocked, their other senses became sharper. Although they did not hear any sound, they had the same thought in their minds - something was coming.
"Let's go, let's go."
Keli immediately turned around and tried to open the door, but in his panic he forgot that he had just locked the door, and he tried several times to open it but failed.
The feeling became more and more obvious. Keli turned the handle hard, pushed and pulled, trying frantically to open the door.
Shirley was also anxious, "Lock! Lock! You locked it!"
In the darkness, a vague shadow gradually spread up from the bright ground. Both Keli and Shirley seemed to feel the cold breath behind them.
"Da, da, da."
A strange sound sounded behind them, and the two of them began to breathe rapidly and sweat broke out on their heads.
"I can't open it. Why can't I open it?" The more nervous he became, the more his hands shook. Keli failed to open the lock several times.
Shirley's eyes were filled with fear and she banged on the door and shouted for help.
The two men's breathing became more and more rapid. The unknown danger that was about to come made them more and more frightened. They did not notice a little orange light behind them.
Until a faint and cold voice sounded very close behind him.
"Do you need help?"
The two men heard the voice and looked back tremblingly, and a half-black and half-red face appeared behind them.
“Aaaaaaaaah!”
…
A few minutes later, a red candle was burning on the ground, and the flickering flame cast three huge black shadows on the wall.
"So, you have been in the room for a long time?" Shirley sat on the ground with her knees hugged, looking at the handsome boy. The fear just now still made her feel scared, and her voice was trembling.
Zhou Zhou also sat on the ground with his knees hugged, and nodded silently when he heard this. He moved his eyes around the two people, but did not see the dialog box that always appeared in the past. However, he could hear and see the other person talking accurately. This was the first time for him to have such a direct conversation.
"I was really scared. I thought a monster appeared again. Why didn't you say anything?" Shirley muttered. She wanted to complain a few more times, but when she saw the other person's face as delicate as porcelain under the orange candlelight, she swallowed the complaint that was about to come out.
Keli's face turned slightly red. He was a very face-conscious man. The crazy screaming and running away he just did was nothing in front of his sister who knew him well, but he always felt a little embarrassed in front of strangers.
He coughed twice to divert the attention of the other two people to himself, and then he said: "I am Keli, this is my sister Shirley, who are you?"
There seemed to be light in Zhou Zhou's eyes, and there was not a single flaw on his delicate face. "Hello, my name is Zhou Zhou."
"Are you alone? Did you escape here too?" It was still safe for the time being, and Keli wanted to exchange some information with the other party to see if he could find out anything.
"I have always been alone and have always been here." Zhou Zhou said honestly.
Although he saw a person when he first walked into the dormitory building, the other person was huddled in the corner like a frightened bird. Zhou Zhou, who had excellent eyesight, could see tear marks on his face. As soon as he waved and said a word, the other person screamed and ran away at an incredible speed.
Only Zhou Zhou was left standing there with his hands raised stupidly.
Not sure why the other party treated him as if he were a monster, Zhou Zhou felt a little disappointed and had to go back to his dormitory first.
His dormitory was at the innermost part of the fourth floor. He didn't expect that not only the exterior of the dormitory had become shabby, but the interior had also become run-down and old, with dust and cobwebs everywhere. Just as he was about to clean the dormitory, these two people came in.
After observing for a while, he found that the two people seemed unable to see in the dark and could only rely on the small flashlight to determine the direction. Zhou Zhou wanted to talk to the two people and remembered that there seemed to be a lighter and candle in the drawer, so he quickly took them out and wanted to give them to them.
The strange clicking sound the two of them heard just now was actually the sound of Zhou Zhou pressing the lighter to light the candle.
Later, when they couldn't open the door, Zhou Zhou took the initiative to help open the lock. Thinking that his sincerity had finally touched the two people, he looked at the three people forming a small circle, and his heart was filled with excitement as he pursed his lips.
Tsk tsk, this kid is even worse than them. Shirley and Keli thought that he had been alone since he entered the game, and later hid here and didn't dare to go out. They felt a little sympathy for him.
"Don't worry, there are three of us now, you don't have to be afraid." Keli comforted.
Zhou Zhou continued to nod and said okay obediently.
The candlelight was brighter than the flashlight, and it seemed to bring a hint of warmth to the room. Shirley looked at Keli, then at Zhou Zhou, and asked in a low voice, "What should we do next? That monster looks so scary, with cracks all over its body and yellow and green spots. It really gives me goosebumps just by looking at it."
Keli also frowned. No matter what, he had to see if he could get out of this building. The requirement for passing the level was to find an exit and leave here within three days. He didn't know whether it referred to the exit of this building or something else. He could only take a short rest and then continue walking out. Thinking of the appearance of the monster he vaguely saw, to be honest, he was a little timid.
Just as Keli and Shirley were lost in thought, Zhou Zhou pointed upwards with his index finger and asked with a hint of curiosity: "Is this what you are talking about?"
