It's this trick again!

I look down on this legendary nightmare from the bottom of my heart, it traps humans in its dreams like a cat and mouse, repeating the cycle makes them unable to distinguish between reality and dreams, and then lets them return to reality when they want to be freed, people on the verge of mental breakdown have reached a low point in their ability to distinguish, and it is easy to fall for nightmares and eventually be played to death by it.

It's so vicious!

Thinking about this, I am not so afraid, although the strength of the Nightmare is definitely stronger than that of us mortals, but it is not in a hurry to kill us, then we can play with it, it is better to have a chance to fight than to be killed immediately.

Zou Ling and Xiao Yao were taken aback by my idea, and there was no other choice at this time, we could only save ourselves.

First of all, I analyzed the current situation, a closed staircase of a dead loop, and if I go down again, I will die sooner or later. I'm running out of supplies in my backpack, and I won't be able to last long.

Then you can only choose the stupidest and safest way, and find a way out in the same place. We were standing on the landing of the staircase, and there was no end to it, and there was another floor below, and I didn't think there was an end to it. The door that was supposed to lead to each floor had been blocked by the wall, so I searched for the place on the wall from memory where it should have been, and drew a roughly square on it with stones.

I also knocked on the wall with a stone, it didn't feel like a hollow, I couldn't know what was behind the wall, and the sound here was exactly the same as the other wall knocks, if it was a corridor behind it, the sound would be different, it was a dull hollow sound.

This path will not work, and we can only continue to explore other ways out. At this time, Xiao Yao put forward a very bold idea, which also made me see the light.

Xiao Yao analyzed that this is a closed circular space, so a certain place here must be the key point for us to repeat, three people can leave one person to stay here, one person to go up, the other person to go down, and keep in touch by shouting at any time, so that you may be able to find the critical point of the stairs.

At first, Zou Ling and I didn't understand what Xiao Yao meant by the tipping point, if you understand it according to the time and space shuttle machines that often appear in science fiction movies, the conditions here are obviously not good, and if you use things that science can't explain, then you can only use unreasonable methods. Xiao Yao's suggestion I thought about it carefully, it is obviously dangerous to do so, whether it is a person who goes up or down, he can't determine where the next step leads, it is really circular as she speculated, then the two people who go up and down will definitely meet at some point.

And this point is exactly the tipping point we're looking for!

All this is just speculation based on the status quo, and there is no guarantee that this tipping point is real. Xiao Yao's method seems ridiculous, but in fact, it has its truth, because we can't think of any other explanation.

No way, we use rock-paper-scissors to decide who stays where they are, I'm the only boy out of three, and even if I win, I'll leave the opportunity to both of them. Fortunately, I was eliminated in the first game, Zou Ling also lost in the second game, and Xiao Yao finally stayed in place.

I chose to go up, Zou Ling down, to be honest, I was very scared at first, it was dark in front of me and I couldn't see anything at all, I could only judge by my ears how far apart we were.

After walking up dozens of steps, I could only shout with the greatest strength to let Zou Ling hear, and she also tried her best to make her voice the loudest, I could vaguely hear her say that Zou Ling had just sent her a message, but I couldn't hear Zou Ling's voice at all, and she must not be able to hear my voice now.

During this time, I found another problem, the stairs I walked up were actually not very long, and Zou Ling didn't go far down, but I heard Xiao Yao's voice getting smaller and smaller, and I guessed that there was something here that absorbed the sound of our message, and it was more difficult for the sound to travel than under normal circumstances.

We had to face a more serious problem, there was still no end to the black in front of me, and I didn't run into Zou Ling, at this time I was a little skeptical about whether this method was feasible at all, after all, it was just a guess at first, and the results of our practice showed that this method would not work.

I couldn't hear Xiao Yao's voice anymore, I tried to shout a few words, but I didn't know if it reached her, and there was no response for most of the day, so I gave up. Now I am faced with two choices, one is to continue to move forward, maybe I can meet Zou Ling, which means that our guess is correct; The second is to go back, and you can go down to the place where Xiao Yao is.

There is no way to communicate between the three of us, I can only make my own choice, in fact, I am very hesitant in my heart, I really don't know which path to choose.

A flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, how could I forget this thing, and secretly scolded that my brain was too stupid. I took out my phone and found that the time was still stuck at a few minutes past eleven, and now I have serious doubts about this time, we have been here for at least ten hours, how can the time in the phone pass so slowly? I was pleasantly surprised to find that the phone still has a signal, but the battery is not much, which should support me to make a call.

The first choice was to call Zou Ling, I wasn't sure if her phone was battery or not, so I had to try my luck. dialed her number, and there was a beeping sound on the phone, it seems that there is a play!

The other end of the phone is connected! I immediately said, "Let's go back at the same time!" ”

I was about to continue to say something, but there was a very noisy and harsh sound from my phone, like the unusually sharp and harsh noise emitted by the horn being affected by the signal, which scared me so much that my phone almost fell off, and I got goosebumps all over my body.

"Hey, Zou Ling, can you hear me?"

The other party still didn't answer, the shrill sound continued, and suddenly a scream came from inside!

I can hear this is Zou Ling's voice! It seems that she has encountered something, and I immediately became nervous.

I continued to ask, "Zou Ling! Can you hear me? When you hear it, you reply to me—"

Then there was another scream, this time the scream lasted for several seconds, my heart was very heavy, Zou Ling seemed to be more than lucky....

I didn't think much of it, and immediately pulled my legs and returned the way I came, and several times I almost fell and rolled down because I didn't stand firmly, and in the confusion I grabbed the railing to avoid breaking my head and bleeding. I walked down for a long time, and it was noticeable that it was longer and farther than I had been going up. Halfway, I didn't meet Xiao Yao who was guarding the same place!

I panted and leaned against the wall, my exertion was so great that I felt my legs as heavy as lead, my head as dizzy as if it was about to explode, and there were bouts of pain. Even if you exercise too much, it doesn't happen, and I realize that it's not good, it's a precursor to hypoglycemia!

There was no more water or hunger in my bag, so I sat on the floor trying to breathe as smoothly as possible and reduce the loss of water from my body, and my mind was in a state of confusion, struggling to figure out what to do next.
