Chapter 32: The Closed Staircase

At this point in time, the whole building is terrifyingly quiet, if it is in the boys' dormitory, it must be a ruckus, playing games, watching football games, it will definitely be another lively and extraordinary scene.

Li Jie said that it was difficult to understand the current situation, and was about to ask Zou Ling, but found that she also had a puzzled expression.

"Is your girls' dormitory so quiet at night?" Li Jie asked.

"No, this time is the noisiest time before going to bed, I live in Building 9, this building is so strange, I wonder if there are people living here, why don't you feel angry at all?" Zou Ling replied.

Xiao Yao didn't speak, looking around thoughtfully, Li Jie was used to her quietness.

Li Jie didn't care so much, he had already walked up the stairs, the old-fashioned stairs were still wooden handrails, the paint on them had already fallen off, and the wood had cracked and cracked, so it couldn't be used to help people at all. Li Jie withdrew his hand and took two breaths, and suddenly felt a little warmer in his hand.

But before he could take a few steps up, Li Jie felt that his body had undergone some changes, and his perception was becoming more and more sluggish. He moved his hands and feet, only to realize that his hands had frozen for some time.

"Speaking of which, you may not believe it, half a year ago was not the coldest time, but I was frozen in that building and lost consciousness in my hands." Li Jie said to Xia Yun and Wang Xiaomeng, with a hint of fear in his tone, and Zou Ling and Xiao Yao also nodded approvingly.

"What happened next, we haven't figured out yet, may be similar to what you've experienced." Zou Ling said, motioning for Li Jie to continue.

When we went up the stairs, we found that the temperature was a little lower with each step, and we were all wearing thick down jackets at that time, and it was impossible for the weather to be so cold in March, so I immediately reacted - the place we were in was not the girls' dormitory 4 at all!

I told Zou Ling and Xiao Yao about this idea that I suddenly came up with, and they all thought that I was so cold that my brain was bad, and I insisted on going back, and just after a few steps, the light bulb on the stairs exploded with a snap.

We were very scared, even the so-called supernatural trio, it was a panic when it came to such a bottomless thing. Fortunately, I prepared a flashlight, took it out of my bag and opened it, and the pillar of light illuminated the things in front of us, and we were so frightened that we immediately sat on the ground!

In front of us is a wall!

Yes, you heard it right, it's a wall, and it looks a little older, and it looks very old like the walls in the dorm room.

Our way back was blocked by a wall, and there was no way to explain where it came from.

I crouched down and took a closer look at it with my flashlight, making sure that the wall was there in the first place, and that it didn't come out of nowhere. But that's where we just came up!

We desperately wanted to get out of this hellish place, and we couldn't understand why we were blocking the way back because of a wall.

There was no way out, we could only look up to find a way out, always feeling more and more stairs, at first we didn't count how many stairs we had climbed, until we were tired and out of breath to find that the staircase seemed to have no end, and we didn't see every floor of the stairs. We found walls in each of the corridors that were supposed to lead to the dormitories, and unsurprisingly they were all old-looking walls that didn't look like they were new at all.

I've heard for a long time that this building is very weird and often haunted, and this personal experience is more frightening than hearsay. To be honest, I regret it a little in my heart, but as the only boy in the trio, I can't be the first to show timidity, so I can only shoulder the responsibility that the boy should shoulder and continue to lead everyone to find a way out.

We kept climbing up the stairs where we couldn't see our fingers, and I felt that my whole body was getting heavier and heavier, and I couldn't move a finger anymore, and the flashlight was almost out of power, so I looked at my watch again, and it was eleven o'clock!

I showed the time to Zou Ling and Xiao Yao, it turned out that it was only half an hour, and we all felt like we had passed more than ten hours, we had climbed I don't know how many steps, our clothes were wet and dry with sweat, and the water in our bags was almost drunk. At that time, I wondered if I usually paid more attention to the cultivation of survival skills in the wilderness, and the awareness of danger was more sufficient, so I often put some necessary things such as drinking water, compressed biscuits, and flashlights in my back, I am afraid that we would have died on the staircase that came out of nowhere, and since then we have disappeared without a trace in the world.

The three of us sat there dumbfounded, the flashlight draining its last ounce of power, and through the faint light we glanced at each other and smiled wryly. We found ourselves too young to be prepared to investigate such an event that could not be explained by science, and we went into battle with all our passion, and ended up being trapped here waiting to die.

I was not reconciled, thinking back to all the things that had happened since I entered here, hoping to find a way to solve it.

Although my throat was unbearably dry, I still spoke with all my strength: "I feel like we're in a box now, the whole staircase is wrapped in it, and this staircase has no end to going up, but this is obviously impossible, even if the space manipulated by the nightmare is large, it is impossible to have no boundaries, so I guess there are two situations, one is that we are hypnotized, in fact, we have been standing still and not going up at all, and the other is that this staircase is circulating." ”

Zou Ling and Xiao Yao listened in a fog, and it was difficult to understand my thoughts for a while, so I could only continue to explain.

"I say so, in fact, we have also seen some visual pictures on the Internet, a staircase you look up at first glance, but follow its direction but turn a corner, and finally return to the original point, this is an illusion created by the principle of light and shadow, we should be because of this illusion has been going around in circles."

"I should understand a little by now, even the most supernatural events have a pattern to follow. The key is this flashlight in my hand, if I hadn't turned it on, I don't think I would have encountered an endless loop, to verify my guess, we can try it in the dark. ”

As soon as the words fell, the flashlight went out, and it was completely out of power.

"Well, here's your chance. You two believe me and follow me, and you will find your way out. ”

Then the three of us began to hold on to the handrail on the side of the staircase and grope forward, but it was pitch black and there was not even a trace of light, and we could only feel the steps of the staircase with our feet.

The handrails were still cold, and we couldn't tell if it was really cold or hallucination, and the situation at that time really made everyone wonder if they were in reality or hallucinations, and it was a terrible feeling, and there was a desperate desire to get out of here.

But I restrained this desire from the bottom of my heart, because I realized that this might be the true purpose of the nightmare, to torture humans in their dreams, and then commit suicide in reality to seek relief, just like the girl who came to us went through!
