medium
Shao Rongrong and the girl with earrings were stunned.
The dark elevator was eerie, and the anxious earring girl rubbed her arms. "We can't get into the elevator now. Ah, the rules say that the stairs can only be used under normal circumstances, which means that the rules for using stairs and elevators are the same."
"Does that mean we have to stay on this floor?" Shao Rongrong thought for a moment, "Then we can leave this floor if we find the corridor with the bloody words, right? I don't want to stay here forever."
"The problem is I don't know how to find my way back to the original corridor."
"Let's go back and light the candles first." After saying that, Lu Miao quickly walked out of the elevator.
Then she stopped in front of the duty notice at the beginning of the corridor.
Shao Rongrong and the girl with earrings who followed her watched her take down the posted duty notice.
The two stared in surprise.
“Why do you want to take it off?”
"Can you take it off?"
"There is no explicit prohibition." Lu Miao carefully peeled off the duty notice, and the words on it flashed with golden light.
For a moment, she had the illusion that the regular characters were like eyes, with the light in the eyes moving.
Reflecting the dim street lights, the purple color of the words is thick and bright, as if overflowing with the exaggerated strokes, unable to conceal the eager and provocative emotions.
Yes, she felt that the rules were provocative.
It's so strange, words are supposed to be lifeless, but the paper and even the words in her hands seemed alive.
The texture of the paper gave her a feeling that was vaguely similar to the lines on the palm of her hand.
Damn it.
Lu Miao put away his bizarre thoughts and took the duty notice to the office of the second department.
Television production department.
The three of them went in together, shining into the light of the flashlight.
Opposite the entrance is the large conference room, next to which is the small conference room. Next to the small conference room is the director's independent office.
This department is separated from the next door by a wall and connected by a wooden door.
"Why is there another door in the middle of the wall?" Shao Rongrong complained about the old-fashioned design. "Wouldn't it be better to just use floor-to-ceiling glass to separate it? It wouldn't be so depressing."
Lu Miao pondered her words.
"Let's not search separately this time."
They agreed with the earring girl's suggestion.
The office area is spacious, with a dozen desks concentrated in the middle of the area.
The desk was messy, with many folders and papers scattered on the floor.
They lost the politeness they had shown during the first search and rummaged through the drawers and boxes roughly, adding to the messy office environment.
The girl with earrings moved too much and accidentally touched the mouse on the desk.
Woo——
The low hum of the main engine startled them.
"Oh no! I bumped into the computer!" The girl with earrings was in a panic.
Shao Rongrong didn't take it seriously. "It's okay. I also ran into a computer in the next room and nothing happened."
“But the screen lit up.”
"It's okay. I didn't encounter anything at that time."
Seeing that the screen only displayed a peaceful computer desktop, the girl with earrings breathed a sigh of relief and continued to search the desktop.
The next second, she caught a glimpse of the bamboo snake on the computer wallpaper moving.
She quickly pretended not to see it.
At this time, the bamboo snake on the computer wallpaper expanded several times.
Trying to remain calm, the girl with earrings walked to the side - to a corner where she couldn't see the computer screen, and tremblingly touched the switch at the bottom of the monitor and quickly turned off the monitor.
Only then did she dare to speak up and warn: "The computer wallpaper moves! Don't look at it!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the display screen in the seat next to her suddenly lit up by itself, and she choked with fright.
In an instant, all the screens lit up one by one, emitting a pale light that illuminated their faces.
"Ah!" Shao Rongrong hurriedly moved away from the desk.
The various computer wallpapers began to distort and blur.
"Ah! Let's go out quickly!" Shao Rongrong didn't want to stay any longer.
Lu Miao poured cold water on her: "No, you have to light all the candles."
Luckily, she had found white candles that belonged in this office area.
However, two conference rooms, the director's office and the next door were not searched.
The girl with the earrings made up her mind. "Turn off all the monitors!"
"ah?"
“Hurry up!”
Shao Rongrong pursed her lips, her whole body going limp and unable to move.
The girl with earrings was as fierce as a tiger. She looked straight ahead without looking at the screen and turned off the screens one by one.
At this time, Lu Miao lit a candle and the candle tears dripped onto the table.
It will be fine soon.
Shao Rongrong gritted her teeth and tilted her head back to touch the switch at the bottom of the display.
The candlelight was pouring down, and Shao Rongrong vaguely caught a glimpse of a display screen showing a dim environment with candlelight of goose yellow.
She had the urge to take a closer look.
"Anchor Shao!"
She was awakened by the call of the deer seedling.
"Go into the conference room!"
"oh oh……"
Covered in cold sweat and with her collar wet, she staggered into the conference room.
The flashlight flashed through the darkness.
The girl with the earrings and Shao Rongrong shuddered as they thought of something.
"No, that's not right... Didn't they light the candles? Why is the conference room so dark?"
The moment they opened the door, they all felt that it was so dark in here.
That doesn't make sense. A small amount of candlelight should shine in after the door is opened.
"Turn around and look." Lu Miao's voice sounded like a terrifying messenger from hell.
The two looked at each other for half a second, then turned back to look outside the door anxiously.
It was also dark outside the door, shrouded in blurry office supplies.
"You obviously lit the candles!"
"Yes, the candles are fixed to the desk outside."
"Then why..."
“It proves that in addition to corridors, there is also spatial overlap in offices.”
"Ugh..." Shao Rongrong, with her limbs weak, leaned on a chair and retched. The tension and anxiety made her throat dry, and her chest, which was blocked, was filled with fear like a flood.
"Sorry... let me take a break..." She sat on the ground exhausted.
"It's okay, let's slow down too." Lu Miao searched around for a candle.
It turned out that there were no candles in the large conference room.
"Wait for me here."
Before the girl with the earrings and Shao Rongrong could react, Lu Miao walked out of the conference room alone.
"Hello--"
A few minutes later, Lu Miao returned to the large conference room. "I searched the small conference room next door, and there were no candles there either."
The two were stunned.
Lu Miao pulled out a chair and sat down, comparing the two duty notices.
Seeing that she was in no hurry to leave, the girl with earrings helped Shao Rongrong to sit on a chair.
"A place with a computer is considered an office, and we need to light candles." Lu Miao took out a pen he had picked up.
"The computer must be the key. It causes the most contradictions in the two duty notices." The girl with earrings leaned over curiously to see what she wrote.
"Office A? Office B? Corridor A, Corridor B?"
"Well, since there is spatial overlap, it would be more intuitive to mark them with serial numbers."
Shao Rongrong also stretched her neck to look. "I don't understand. I didn't see that kind of picture after I came across the computer in the new media department."
Lu Miao paused, and marked Office A as being able to use computers, and marked Office B as having computer abnormalities.
Corridor A: There are blood words, elevators and stairs can be used
Corridor B: No blood, elevators and stairs cannot be used
“Is there any connection between Office A and Corridor A?”
Lu Miao carefully pondered the ideas he wrote down.
Office A corresponds to a duty notice for each employee; Office B obviously corresponds to the duty notice posted in the corridor.
But they once found candles to light in Office B.
"No, there are common rules for the two duty notices. I entered the new media department's office A from the corridor A with the bloody words, walked out through the post-production team's office, and came to corridor B. What is the medium that we use to travel to different spaces?"
The girl with earrings was in a dilemma and scratched her mask while thinking.
Shao Rongrong held her chin with her hand, the CPU was about to burn out.
"Also, does Office A correspond to Corridor A?"
“What would happen if office A corresponds to corridor B?”
Lu Miao couldn't answer because he lacked the most important clue.
"Or maybe we change our thinking and compare the first paragraph of the notice?" Shao Rongrong suggested, "The two have different language styles. The one with black words has a stern feeling, while the other has a positive feeling."
The earring girl agreed. "That's true."
She smiled and said, "We liberal arts students are more sensitive to context."
"Positive, normal computer use... this is a mild office environment." Lu Miao frowned. "Strict supervision, prohibition of computer use... it seems that the situation has reached a very serious level."
Shao Rongrong counted on her fingers, mumbling something. "The higher-level unit than the TV station is the Radio and Television Bureau, whose full name is the State Administration of Radio and Television. It's eight characters long, that's not right. Propaganda Department?"
Lu Miao was also puzzled and put the cap back on his pen. "Let's move to the director's office, light the candles on this floor first, and then meet up with the others to exchange information."
The three of them gathered themselves together for a moment and then walked out of the conference room together.
They didn't notice that there was a hole the size of a fingernail in the wall of the large conference room.
The director's private office was small and clean, and they quickly found a white candle to light.
"I want to do an experiment." Lu Miao said suddenly.
Do it again?
The girl with the earrings and Shao Rongrong turned pale.
"Could it be..."
"Yes."
The two immediately stood behind the display screen.
Lu Miao touched the mouse on the desk, and the low hum of the main engine caused turmoil in the quiet office.
The earring girl and Shao Rongrong pointed at Lu Miao's back in fear. "Hole...hole..."
Lu Miao quickly calmed down and didn't look directly at the display. "How big is it?"
"Like beans? Pitch black."
"Just stare at the hole and wait for me."
The display shows a clean computer desktop with a green prairie as the wallpaper.
She watched the wallpaper change with her peripheral vision.
The two people opposite her covered their faces with masks or scarves, pointing at her back with trembling fingers.
"The hole...is getting bigger..."
"How big?" The hairs on Lu Miao's back stood up.
"Fingernails are as big as..."
The display remains unchanged.
"Run next door!"
At the command, they fled from the independent office one after another.
At the same time, all the display screens in the large office lit up again.
“Don’t look!”
They all opened the door and rushed into the broadcasting department next door.
The broadcasting department was indeed dark, and the candlelight outside could not penetrate in.
"It's a different space again..." Lu Miao muttered to himself.
As the flashlight beam swept across the desks, she caught a glimpse of inspiration.
The desks here are tidy and the floors are clean.
"I understand." Lu Miao illuminated one of the desks. "I understand what the medium is that we use to travel through space."
It's a door.
