Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Good news: This infinite flow copy is what he sees...
Bell City High School.
Second Complex Building, seventh floor, activity rooms 7-14.
After the game started, Jiang Shizao looked at the person in front of the mirror and started walking counterclockwise.
Time passed minute by minute, and almost every few seconds, a cough was heard in this dim space.
Jiang Shi had already prepared for seeing a ghost and even thought of several plans to deal with it. But he didn't expect that when the coughing sound in the activity room disappeared, the person in the middle of the room also disappeared.
At that moment, Jiang Shizao's pupils contracted. He couldn't believe that the four people participating in the game would disappear at the same time: "——!"
He looked at the center of the empty activity room. The four mirrors were still there, but there was no one in front of them.
It’s over——
Jiang Shizao's mind raced. As a book transmigrator, someone who had heard the system prompt just a quarter of an hour ago, he'd imagined ghosts appearing, imagined the ghosts within the game acting strangely, imagined many other scenarios...but he hadn't imagined everyone would vanish before his very eyes!
Realizing that the situation was out of control, Jiang Shizao was horrified for a second before reacting instantly.
The next second, the boy in the corner turned around and extinguished the candles on the round table!
Jiang Shizao tries to interrupt the game by disrupting the ritual.
His heart was pounding, and the moment the candle went out, he even hoped that everything was just an illusion, and that the world in front of him would return to normal after the game was interrupted.
But when he looked towards the center of the room again, his classmates had not returned. Instead, at the moment the candle went out, a strange voice sounded in the activity room.
“Tick…tick…tick…”
“Tick…tick…tick…”
"Tap-tap-tap-"
The sound of footsteps approaching from far away was heard in the empty activity room.
Jiang Shizao's hair stood on end!
Instinctively, he pulled his legs to the right. Jiang Shizao was very close to the door of the activity room. Based on his memory, the figure in the corner had already rushed towards the door!
But at this moment, Jiang Shizao, whose heart was pounding, heard a familiar voice——
"It's early."
The voice echoed in the dim room, and its owner seemed to be very far away from him.
But when it sounded, Jiang Shizao heard it clearly.
At that moment, Jiang Shizao turned around and looked towards the source of the sound——
His gaze passed through the mirrors in the center, and in the dim light, he saw a figure still standing beside a lit candle in the corner farthest from him.
At that moment, Jiang Shizao's eyes widened.
By the candlelight, he could see the outline of the man.
——It’s Wen Xu! Wen Xu is still in the room!
Because of panic and limited vision, Jiang Shizao was unable to immediately notice that there were other people in the room.
But at this moment, he paused and looked at the man in the dark corner. Perhaps because he was frightened, Wen Xu who was standing there hardly moved. Except for being able to call out Jiang Shizao's name, Wen Xu seemed to be really scared.
At this time, Jiang Shizao's right hand was already grasping the door handle of the sliding door.
When his gaze passed through the mirrors and looked at Wen Xu, Jiang Shizao also determined more clearly where the strange "tick-tick-tick" sounds came from.
It's a mirror!
"despair--"
"despair--"
"despair!"
The sound of ethereal footsteps came from the mirror. In the dim light, Jiang Shizao saw a dark shadow in the mirror.
The mirror seemed to connect to another space, and the things in the mirror were moving from far to near.
Just then:
"It's early, you should leave quickly."
The simple sentence came from the other end of the room, across the farthest distance in space, making it almost impossible to hear the emotions of the owner of the voice.
But at this critical moment, Jiang Shizao, who heard the sound, gritted his teeth and turned around and ran towards Wen Xu.
Without hesitation, Jiang Shizao ran at a very fast speed. He avoided the central area where the mirrors were placed, and in a few short seconds, Jiang Shizao had already run to Wen Xu's side.
After that, he grabbed Wen Xu's wrist without hesitation and pulled him back.
"Hurry up! Something is coming out of the mirror!" Jiang Shizao explained while pulling people.
Fortunately, Wen Xu cooperated very well, and Jiang Shizao pulled him away immediately.
The two figures ran towards the door of the activity room. Jiang Shizao's low voice rang out beside Wen Xu: "Don't be afraid, we still have time!"
Jiang Shizao comforted the classmate who had been frightened and unable to move.
He could hear the footsteps clearly in the mirror and could roughly judge how far away the footsteps were from them.
Before the thing in the mirror actually appeared in the activity room, Jiang Shi had already pulled Wen Xu to the corridor on the seventh floor and closed the door of the activity room from the outside without taking a breath.
but……
"Shi Zao..." The moment the door closed, Wen Xu's hesitant voice sounded beside Jiang Shi Zao.
In the dim light, the new transfer student looked at Jiang Shizao's silhouette, his eyes filled with hidden emotions hidden in the almost dark corridor.
The darkness heightened the recklessness in his eyes.
Wen Xu lowered his eyes again and looked at his wrist which was still tightly held by the young man beside him.
I feel a little regretful.
Wen Xu sighed inwardly with regret. If he had extended his hand when Jiang Shizao approached him, would they be holding hands now?
At the same time, when Jiang Shizao heard Wen Xu's voice, a thought flashed through his mind:
...It's over.
At this moment, Jiang Shizao looked at the dim corridor they were in. This corridor, which should have been extremely bright, was now almost dark.
What should have been a clear afternoon sky was now replaced by a strange dark night.
The sky above Lingcheng in front of Jiang Shizao was covered with dense clouds, and behind the darkness, strange lights flashed from time to time.
Behind them, footsteps were heard again in the activity room.
This time, Jiang Shizao could hear that the thing making the footsteps had already stepped on the floor of the room and was approaching them.
At both ends of the corridor, there was pure darkness without a trace of light, as if there were no longer stairs at the end of the corridor, but two entrances to the abyss.
In the darkness, Jiang Shizao once again looked up at the terrifying sky above Lingcheng outside the corridor.
In an inexplicable state of shock, a thought suddenly emerged in his heart. He looked at the night sky of Lingcheng, which was different from any time in the past week. The Lingcheng that appeared in his eyes now brought an unprecedented feeling, as if...
…It seems like there is no safe place here anymore.
Just when the people in the corridor were almost in a dilemma, Wen Xu said, "Follow me."
Wen Xu finished speaking and used the hand that Jiang Shizao was holding to hold his hand. With just a slight movement, the next second, when Jiang Shizao released his wrist, Wen Xu's palm slid down.
Finally, he held Jiang Shizao's hand, interlocking their fingers.
Then, when the footsteps in the activity room were getting closer and closer to the door, Wen Xu pulled Jiang Shizao, and just like before, the two ran towards the end of the corridor, running in the direction where the stairs were originally located.
This time, the one who comforted his companions in the darkness became Wen Xu: "Don't be afraid, follow me."
His voice was soft, but his hand holding Jiang Shizao was extremely powerful.
Jiang Shizao was almost dragged up the stairs by the other party. When the two stopped, he had been pulled into a storage room opposite the door leading to the rooftop by Wen Xu.
After entering the utility room, Jiang Shizao's mind went blank for several seconds. His gaze darted back and forth across the small space, as if the world were spinning.
It was not until several seconds later that Jiang Shizao's breathing gradually calmed down.
But he could still feel his own heartbeat.
The utility room was quiet, and the world outside also became silent the moment the door closed.
Jiang Shizao almost forgot when the footsteps disappeared. He only remembered that in the darkness, Wen Xu had been holding his hand.
Wen Xu...
When Jiang Shizao turned his head, he met the eyes of the person next to him.
His figure also collided into a pair of gentle eyes.
Wen Xu's expression was not as panicked as one might imagine.
Jiang Shizao was stunned for a moment. He looked at the exceptionally handsome and gentle face in front of him, and inexplicably, his tense nerves were greatly soothed.
Perhaps there was a reason why the space became quiet, perhaps it was because of the warm yellow light in this utility room.
Jiang Shizao's emotions gradually calmed down, and he was able to think about the situation at hand.
...Why is there a utility room in this place?
And there are lights here.
Jiang Shizao had been running in near darkness all along the way. All the activity rooms were pitch black. Without Wen Xu's guidance, he doubted he would have been able to step on the right staircase in his panic.
But the light bulbs in the utility room they were in at the moment emitted a very warm light. The temperature inside was just right, making anyone who entered feel like they were in a safe room.
At this moment, a mechanical voice appeared in Jiang Shizao's mind.
[Player Jiang Shizao, player code 209999, welcome to the Inter-Dimentional Travel infinite game space.]
…
Unlike the previous system sound, when this strange and cold mechanical sound appeared, Jiang Shizao's pupils moved, and the moment the sound sounded, he looked at Wen Xu again.
Wen Xu also spoke at this time: "It's early, did you hear any sound?"
Wen Xu pointed to his temples while speaking.
This was a very obvious signal, and Wen Xu might have heard the same sound as him.
Jiang Shizao, who had read countless articles, already had his pupils shaking.
This type of introduction... This type... No way...
Didn’t I travel through a book? So... what is this...?
"I...I seemed to hear..."
Just as Jiang Shizao's mind was spinning, Wen Xu beside him continued, "Inter-Dimensional Travel...? Multi-dimensional travel... Infinite game space?"
As soon as Wen Xu finished speaking, a new prompt sounded:
[Absolutely entering the infinite game instance "Freak House No. 104", number of players: 8]
Jiang Shizao: “!!!”
Wen Xu, who was always paying attention to Jiang Shizao's reaction, certainly did not miss any emotional fluctuations of the person in front of him.
Wen Xu lowered his head and asked in a gentle voice, "What's wrong? It's so early?"
When the question was asked, Jiang Shizao raised his hand and grabbed Wen Xu's shoulder.
He looked a little anxious. "Wen Xu, is the game instance you want to enter 'Freak House No. 104'?"
"Yes, it's early." Wen Xu said, a thoughtful look in his eyes, "We heard the same voice."
Jiang Shizao took a deep breath.
“…”
It’s simple, one of the author Abyss’ early short supernatural novels is called “Freakhouse No. 104”!
So what is the situation now?
When he heard the prompt sound just now, he thought that he and Wen Xu were about to enter an infinite flow world!
After entering the spiritual world, I entered the infinite flow...
And he entered the infinite flow with the people in the world of the book.
Just thinking about this possibility, Jiang Shizao could hardly control his splitting emotions.
In fact, Jiang Shizao was also looking at Wen Xu blankly at this moment.
He thought, perhaps the only good news now was that the game copy they were about to enter was a book he had read before!
At this moment, the third message appeared:
[The following are the players participating in this game copy:]
[“Codename 141”, “Codename 854”, “Codename 3947”]
[“Code 623”, “Code 2874”]
[“Code 209999”, “Code 210000”]
…
In the warmly lit utility room, Jiang Shizao listened to the mechanical voice reading out the code names one by one. For some reason, he always felt that something was wrong.
"It's early, my code name is 210000." Wen Xu said.
Jiang Shi had guessed it long ago, so he nodded hesitantly.
He knew something was wrong.
He and Wen Xu's code names were both very large, unlike the others who had three- or four-digit combinations.
Jiang Shizao couldn't tell what this number actually meant, but he had a bad feeling. Regardless of the situation, this huge number didn't seem good...
Wen Xu said again: "You are..."
The gentle voice paused for a moment, and Jiang Shizao met the other party's gaze.
Wen Xu whispered, "Love you forever?"
Jiang Shizao: "...It's me. I'm 209999."
Wen Xu smiled.
The conversation between the two was interrupted by a belated prompt sound.
When the prompt sounded, Jiang Shizao suddenly realized that the previous mechanical voice only reported the code names of seven game participants!
The prompts for this eighth player who arrived late were also different from those for everyone else.
Jiang Shizao heard the mechanical voice in his mind:
[Player 001 has joined the game instance "Deformed House No. 104"]
[Abnormal House No. 104]
[I wish all players a happy journey]
