I looked at the vines around me and fell into deep thought.
The things on it now are nothing like they were at the beginning, densely packed.
Instead, it looks more like eyes have grown on it.
As I looked toward those few in the distance, the small, round vines seemed to follow my gaze.
At first glance, it looked as if the eyes were following my gaze!
Seeing this, I felt a little apprehensive.
Then, I gently stepped on the steps.
As expected, the texture of these steps is completely different from the texture we felt when we came down from the 3rd floor to this "3rd floor"!
The feeling was like stepping on rough cement.
However, I can clearly see that it has the same slippery appearance as when I first came down.
It doesn't look like something rough at all.
If you don't step on it, it's exactly the same!
Holy crap.
What does this mean?
It was completely different when I came down, including the temperature.
Before coming down, the temperature on the third floor was definitely gradually rising, but now it's not as hot as it was just now. I even feel like these two floors are not even the same.
The only difference is that the words written on them are the same, and the buildings inside are all identical.
yes!
If it's like the one on the third floor, with the same storage room, then it should be the same, with that dark room that's lit up.
Having thought this through, I briefly shared my thoughts with the girl.
If we try to force our way through from here, I'm afraid things will get worse.
Why don't we go and take a look at the brand new 3rd floor where we are now standing?
What exactly is inside?
Could it be exactly the same as the one on the 3rd floor we just saw?
Upon hearing my words, Yiyi's face instead showed displeasure.
"Brother... I don't want to stay here anymore!"
Her tone seemed very resolute.
Should we really go down?
I understand that no matter what, I will eventually have to go downstairs; otherwise, staying on this floor all the time is not a good idea.
But this girl who's lost in a maze doesn't know that, while I know it very well.
As for those who break this deadlock, they often encounter something even more ruthless.
When I was working at a funeral home, I heard someone say that if you encounter a ghost wall, you must not run for your life.
Don't try to find any shortcuts.
The best solution is for someone to break this deadlock from the outside.
The person said that if you encounter a maze or ghost wall in the jungle or forest, you should first use a knife to carve marks on the trees so that you can escape.
When the first cut was made, the sap that flowed from the tree trunk was clear.
In other words, this is the tree's most primal and natural reaction.
But if you want to make any deeper marks...
When the second cut came down, the tree didn't just shed leaves and branches; instead, it became a wound.
The extra wounds will ooze some dark red fluid, along with the green sap from before.
This stuff, like snow, flows down the wooden path.
And this will completely obscure the mark.
The blood would soon cover the first cut, and then flow down in large swaths.
After circling around several times, when we looked for the tree again, its bark was completely bare.
It's as if the initial stab didn't even go in.
But when I looked at my wrist and ankle, I saw several more cuts that looked exactly like the one from the first knife.
Blood beads were seeping out, and the person who made the cut would suffer from severe cerebral ischemia, making it impossible for them to even stand up!
The thought of this immediately brought to mind the current situation.
If we put all our effort into rushing downhill, there might be a simple staircase below, but we could easily crash into a wall.
The stronger the obsession and the more intense the desire to escape, the easier it is to ignore the most basic senses!
In other words, the more easily one is affected by this illusion, or more accurately, by the illusion itself!
The term "ghost wall" doesn't mean you're trapped and unable to move; rather, it means you're being prevented from going in a more dangerous direction.
I comforted Yiyi again; I knew she was very anxious.
But no matter how anxious or worried we are, we can't risk our lives!
"Yiyi, listen to me, let's go check that storage room first. If we're still on the third floor..."
That storage room must be burning up by now!
I spoke slowly and deliberately, looking into the girl's eyes as I spoke earnestly.
The instant I finished speaking, a faint sound came from my room at the end of the corridor!
Yi Yi's previously vacant eyes suddenly became bright and alert.
She seemed to realize something, or perhaps she was moved by me, or maybe she figured something out.
At this moment, she nodded thoughtfully, as if pounding garlic.
"Brother, we'll do whatever you say. Let's go check out the storage room first!"
I quickly grabbed the girl's hand and followed closely behind, using a bit of lightning to illuminate the path ahead.
However, after taking only two steps, I noticed something was wrong.
This time it wasn't the stairs, but the empty corridor floor that had become somewhat slippery!
The surface was so smooth that we couldn't even run. Soon, the girl and I were both tiptoeing forward.
"What should we do?"
Yiyi frowned.
This time, I'm also in a bit of a dilemma.
I noticed that the door we just entered through that storage room was only three doors away from us.
However, at this moment, with each step forward, the slipperiness under our feet increases.
If we take two more steps forward, I reckon we're going to slip and fall right here!
"Master, perhaps we should return to our original position?"
"No, if we go back now, we'll probably fall down the stairs by the time we get there!"
I quickly called out to Lei Jijian in my mind.
I can guarantee that this smoothness is absolutely not due to an increase or decrease in direction.
It's not because of the number of steps we take on it, but because of how long we stay there.
I looked back at the stairwell; we were now about 20 meters away from it.
I turned my head again and looked ahead. The distance in front of me was at least 50 meters.
A wave of emotion washed over me.
Before we first entered the hotel, it was just a small hotel with fewer than ten households.
How come it looks bigger than a chain hotel now?
At that moment, I could clearly feel that my palms were covered in sweat.
The riverside hotel... its area is growing without us even realizing it!
The environment inside, as well as the shape of the floors and stairs, are constantly changing!
