Chapter 6 The Red Brick Factory (5) - Bizarre Hallucinations
Seeing this, Cheng Chuan put his wrinkled shirt back on and put his deformed belt back around his waist.
Resources are scarce here, and you never know when you might need something you have, so keep everything you can.
Ning Shu thought of Cheng Chuan's earlier comment about the floor being too clean. Could it be related to the floor wriggling?
It "eats" everything on the ground, so of course there's no dust and it looks very clean.
What kind of place is this? Is this a normal world?
Could someone really build a place like this?
Ning Shu was having an existential crisis. She still preferred her previous uneventful and dull life; whoever wanted this kind of excitement could have it.
They discussed the strange things that had happened along the way, making various guesses, but no one told them the truth. In the end, they could only focus their attention on leaving the place.
The handsome man with heterochromia listened to their analysis, making futile struggles, and sneered inwardly.
When they returned to the place where they had met before, they discovered something terrifying: a passage had inexplicably appeared on one of the walls of the original spot, something they clearly remembered not being there before.
"Did I remember wrong? Was there such a thing before?" Zhu Peng asked, pointing to the passage with a trembling expression.
No one answered him, but their expressions were not good.
After what just happened, everyone felt that having an extra passage wasn't a big problem; the only problem was that it could be fatal!
"Shall we go in?"
I don't know who asked that question, but now who would dare to go in?
But when they recalled what had just happened, they suddenly realized that the newly appeared passage wasn't so scary after all.
Because it might be fatal, but the floor under the stairs is definitely fatal!
Besides, even if something goes wrong, they might not be the ones to die. Everyone decided to enter that new passage with this mindset.
But a new problem has arisen: who should go in first?
Nobody wanted to be the first to try something new, so they decided to play rock-paper-scissors, and whoever lost would go in first.
Everyone knew that the handsome guy with heterochromia wouldn't be the first to "take the plunge," and they didn't dare to talk to him.
His nimble move of stepping on someone's shoulders to jump up the stairs just now made everyone know that he was not someone to be trifled with.
They not only didn't want to "trouble" him, but they even hoped he would do nothing, since who knows if he would suddenly go crazy and make others suffer again.
As a result, Ning Shu lost.
What bad luck!
"I'll go with you," Cheng Chuan said, stepping forward.
This is so touching! His girlfriend is so lucky to be treated like this as a classmate.
Ning Shu sighed again and refused: "No, it's too dangerous here. It's better to kill one than two."
If I'm gone, remember to tell my parents after you leave that they shouldn't look for me anymore. It's too much trouble; they should just live their own lives peacefully.
Cheng Chuan: "..."
Ning Shu didn't hesitate and rushed straight into the new passage. His back view gave those who stayed behind a strange sense of tragic grandeur.
There was no light in the passage, so she could only run as fast as she could, unable to see the way.
She felt as if her exposed skin was covered in a misty spray, a cool and refreshing sensation.
Ning Shu was startled. Could it be that she had gotten involved with something terrible?
Once she saw a light ahead, she sprinted forward with all her might and emerged.
The first thing she did after coming out was to check her skin, which had felt cool to the touch, but she found nothing unusual.
Did I just feel something wrong?
Ning Shu reached out and touched her arm, but didn't feel anything special. She figured it was just her imagination, and it wouldn't make a difference anyway.
She carefully examined the space; the passage led out to a T-shaped walkway.
She stood on a T-shaped walkway with one horizontal line and the other vertical line extending from the wall behind her to the wall opposite.
The vertical walkway is about 5 meters wide, with staircases on both sides leading down, but they are staggered.
The corridor has windows on both sides, and the railing is about 3 or 4 meters away from the windows. There is a chandelier directly above the corridor, and the bulbs emit a dim light.
Huh, it's getting dark so quickly?
The window over there was lit, but this one is not only dark, it also has a light on.
A corridor can create a time difference?
Ning Shu felt that this space was a bit eerie. She didn't know whether she should tell the people behind her that it was safe here. While she was hesitating, she felt a pain in her body, especially in her exposed hands.
She raised her hands to observe, and her knuckles began to swell, twist, and deform.
"ah!"
Startled, she took a step back and instinctively slapped her other hand with one, thinking that this would make the eerie things disappear.
But no, it must have been the mist from before; she had only ever come into contact with this unusual thing.
She quickly shouted towards the back of the passageway, "Don't come in! It's dangerous! Don't come in!!"
She repeated the last sentence three times, and then she was in so much pain that she knelt down on the ground, bent over, and pressed her hands down, trying to relieve the pain.
She didn't know how much time had passed when she suddenly heard Cheng Chuan's voice.
"Ning Shu, Ning Shu, are you alright?" Cheng Chuan helped Ning Shu up.
Ning Shu then noticed that Cheng Chuan's face had also turned pale. She asked in confusion, "Didn't I tell you not to come in? Why did you come in anyway?"
Cheng Chuan's face also turned pale, and he asked in confusion, "When did you say that? We waited for you for a long time without any response, and then we played rock-paper-scissors again before I came in."
Ning Shu's body gradually recovered. The pain in her hands disappeared, and her complexion improved. She then asked Cheng Chuan if he had felt any cool water vapor in the passage.
She shared her experience with Cheng Chuan without reservation. Cheng Chuan's face turned even paler after hearing it, and he shook his head, saying that he had not encountered such things.
"Are you injured? You don't look well." Ning Shu was helped to sit on the floor against the wall in the "horizontal" walkway and asked.
"No," Cheng Chuan replied after a moment of silence.
This unusual behavior did not attract Ning Shu's attention; she was still in shock and kept a close eye on her hands.
Her body seemed to be painless, as did her hands, but she still squeezed her fingers together to make sure that her hands were not deformed.
Was that a hallucination? The pain was so bad it caused hallucinations? That's terrifying!
Ning Shu frowned and stared at her fingers.
Sitting next to her, Cheng Chuan looked pale and thoughtful.
"Ah, it's out, it's out!"
Suddenly, Zhu Peng also rushed out of the passage, shouting.
Ning Shu and Cheng Chuan stared at him with expressions that said he was an idiot. What was going on?
Zhu Peng saw them too, and was as happy as if he had won the lottery.
Before Ning Shu and the others could speak, Wu Yi, Li Lin, and the handsome guy with heterochromia also came out from over there, and now everyone was there.
However, Wu Yi's complexion was not good, while the others' complexions were normal.
Ning Shu recalled that Cheng Chuan's expression hadn't been good either, so she guessed he must have encountered something, but he didn't say anything, and she was too embarrassed to ask.
"I guess it's the same as her?" Ning Shu guessed.
