The shadow that woke up from a coma, forehead ...... To be precise, the shadow in the dream was holding a paper that had been torn nearly half-torn in his hand, and there was an old man walking in front of him, this old man was naturally Grandpa Oak, and all the surroundings had become cold walls, and the whole place was as silent as death, and there was no sound except for the footsteps of him and the old man......

Shadow looked at the tattered paper in his hand, and there were vague words written on it: ..... The door in the blue area of the layer begins to close,...... Our ......, the map is placed in the purple area on the 5th floor, if you need it, please contact me to ....... quickly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info house number is T-105......

The rest is no longer visible, and it can be seen that this is left by the people who lived here before, or the people who created it, but now the shadow has to consider not what this place has to do with this person, but the location of the map.

The Shadow ran up and tugged at the old man's sleeve, "What's wrong?" Little Shadow? As the old man turned around, the shadow handed the note in his hand to the old man.

The old man read it carefully, groaned for a while, and took out another note from the backpack behind him, which happened to be put together with this half of the paper.

"Sure enough! Still on the 5th floor! The old man muttered to himself.

"What's on the 5th floor?" The Shadow stepped forward.

"From the information and conditions you have just received from the half of the paper you have just given me, I can deduce what the so-called colored area is, and judging by the degree of damage and color of these two sheets of paper, it must have been quite a few years, and I even guessed that they were written centuries ago." The old man said with a solemn face.

"Let's go to the 5th floor first." With a wave of his hand, the old man patted the back of the shadow and walked towards the passage.

Reaching the door of the passage, the shadow stopped, "I...... It's true...... Can you be trusted? Looking at the dark shadow's complicated eyes and the immature face that did not match it, the old man replied to him solemnly: "No! You can never trust anyone, including your own brothers and family, in this place! ”

"Then you ......"

"I said, I did something that made me unforgivable, I needed to be redeemed, but I ...... After all, it's a human being, and human beings are higher animals, you know? As long as animals have an instinct, they are alive! To survive in any harsh environment, no matter what cruel and dehumanizing actions will be made, you must live, and in order to live, any person or any creature will do whatever it takes, so those so-called noble virtues do not exist in such a place, at least. ”

"Maybe that day when I'm hungry and crazy, I'll forget my so-called redemption psychology and pounce on you and bite you, so there's no one here for you to rely on, the only one you can really rely on is yourself, anyone including me, to say that you want to mess with me, it's just that I cooperate with you temporarily, let you hunt for me, and when you can't beat you in the end, you are tired, and I am full of physical strength, and I can live if I sell you in the end, do you understand? No matter when you talk to anyone, you must keep a vigilant heart and sleep half-awake and half-asleep. ”

"I see......" Shadow still didn't want to believe it, but it was the case, now he was in such a space, there was no water, no food, and the only thing he could eat and drink was the flesh and blood of the people who lived here! Here you can only kill for the sake of living, or cowardly be killed by others to become food for others!

.......

Dead Space Level 5......

The 5th floor is 6 floors larger than the 10th and 9th floors where Shadow has been, and instead of a hard stone wall, it is made of something like iron, and when you enter this floor, you can see a large pillar connecting the 4th floor in the center of the 5th floor.

"Wow! It's like a market! "The Shadow walks in a wide, street-like area, surrounded by all sorts of small stalls.

"This is the 5th floor, and the 5th floor has a rule that doesn't allow fighting....... Actually, I know that there are a lot of strange machines here, and when there is a fight, these machines will go out to kill everyone who has done it. ”

"So this layer is also called the security layer, and the cowardly person can hide here until he dies and does not leave, of course, if he dies, then passers-by can pick up his body when they see it. Of course, that kind of cowardly person can be picked up, but this alone can't survive. The old man looked disdainful.

"But this is a place where you can rest quietly, when you come back from hunting a lot, you can go to a room where no one wants to use your food quietly, don't worry about others disturbing, the door here is as hard as the wall, even ghosts can't penetrate it!." The old man obviously coveted the walls and door panels here.

"But Grandpa Oak, aren't you afraid of ghosts here; Come to attack? The Shadow asked the most important question.

"Nope! I've been here for so many years and I've never heard of ghosts on the 5th floor, and of course there are a lot of people on the 5th floor, so if the ghosts appear, they won't know about it. The old man explained.

"And what if the ghost kills someone quietly?" The Shadow was a little reluctant.

"Son, turn around and look at the door behind you! The door we enter is different from other levels, and the door here will be revealed even if the soul comes in. Now it shows more than 50,000 people, if there are fewer people, then it proves that he either died somewhere or left, and the people who died here will be displayed on the small door next to the gladiatorial arena after being picked up. Of course, don't ask me why, I don't understand, and if you don't pick it up, you will be thrown by the machine to the pillar on the fifth floor to be picked up. "The old man is obviously very aware of all this.

"The market here is for some people to set up stalls in exchange for useful things, it is all closed here, there is no day and night, it is good to lie down and sleep when you are sleepy, the only thing to worry about is the problem of food. There will be nothing special at the entrance to the 6th to 5th floors, and there will be good things at the junction of the 5th and 4th floors. This is the area of the ability in District 4, and the area of Area 123 is the area of the alien, and most of what you can see here are the ability people setting up stalls, and of course there will be aliens who come here to trade something. The old man explained the structure and rules of the 5th floor to the shadow as he walked, "Zones 1, 2, and 3 are relative to those 4, 5, and 6, and the places where we can rest normally are areas 7, 8, and 9, and the aliens will also rest in these 3 areas, so don't be scared when the time comes." ”

"That'..... Is Grandpa Oak an alien or an ability? "The Shadows are curious about this.

"Me! I'm an alien..... "Grandpa Oak seems to be dissatisfied that he is an alien.

"That ......"

"I'll show you when I get to the rest area.....," the old man sighed.

Shadow followed the old man to walk around on the 5th floor, and when he arrived at the alien area, the shadow couldn't help but exclaim, and immediately attracted the attention of many aliens and abilities, but he didn't feel that these eyes were all hungry wolves looking at the little sheep, of course Grandpa Oak could see it, he immediately pulled the shadow away, and then explained to the shadow that in fact, there are many aliens that can't change back into human form.

As he walked farther and farther with Grandpa Oak, he talked more and more, Shadow seemed to have forgotten the person he had eaten before, and also forgot his madness at that time, but became more and more curious about this space like a lively and innocent child......

The lounge area, where the rooms are laid out in a drab manner, empty of nothing, not even a speck of dust. Some rooms with black and smooth walls have a single bed, some are double, like a hotel, and there is a light at the head of the bed that is not very bright, which is the room in the lounge area.

The shadow in one of the rooms kept showing the emaciated adult's face when he was killed by him, the hideous face, and the image of him biting at the adult, blood spurting into his face, and his excited face and smile as he devoured the flesh of others woke the shadow. (If the shadow in reality is awake, he will definitely complain: what is the situation in this TM!) Am I dreaming of myself in a dream? ）

"What's wrong?" The sound of the shadow waking up woke the old man up.

"Nothing, I just remembered the person I killed today." The shadow threw himself into the old man's arms and cried, "Grandpa! I...... I really, really ...... I'm so scared! Woowoo...... I'm scared I'm going to die...... I didn't know what I had done myself! I just remember that I killed someone! I killed someone! ..... Uncle police will arrest me! I'm really scared....."

"Don't be afraid of children, no matter what! Now I have you to protect you, sleep in peace~" The old man hugged the shadow and gently coaxed him and looked at the ceiling of the room: "It seems that this kid has not forgotten, but it is still difficult to accept." ”

In this way, the old man fell asleep with the shadow until he woke up, and the old man took him on his journey to the 5th floor......
