Chapter 13: Silent Darkness
"I'm sorry, but your camera won't turn on. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 A comrade policeman came up to us and said, "Which two are experts in that field?" ”
It's so vague, haunted is haunted, what kind of expert in that field! Although they still don't want to admit it, it also confirms that some unexplained special event is indeed happening here.
I raised my hand and said to him, "I am, and she." Naturally, she was referring to Ishihara, the police glanced at her, and she nodded her head in reply; The policeman tilted his head inside and motioned for us both to go in.
"Master!" Kerr's voice appeared in the crowd, and I looked back to see her squeezing in my direction, waving her hands to get my attention. Naturally, I knew what she meant, and then said to the police: "That's my apprentice, you can also go in, right?" ”
The policeman looked at her, thought for a moment, and said, "Go in." ”
I turned around to ask the director for permission, after all, the camera here has been regulated, if you can't shoot it, then this live is meaningless, we still sold him this time, naturally it is impossible to leave without his consent.
I didn't expect the director to be inexplicably happy, so he said to me without thinking about it: "It's okay, we can't get in, we can't accompany you, just pay more attention to safety." "What's going on? Anyway, it's also in the live broadcast! If the audience is abandoned like this, can the ratings be saved?
But since he agreed, I naturally wouldn't say anything more; This kind of list involving confidentiality, in addition to the relative remuneration fee, there must be some hush money and the like, which should not be a small amount. For this reason, even if the director says not to give it, I will still go, hehe.
The three of us entered the lockdown area, and there was chaos at the entrance of the hospital, where a man with a large body and fat body was directing the evacuation, and the entrance was filled with wounded and sick medical personnel, mixed with a small number of police and special police. It seemed that they had just tried to attack the fortification, but it was obvious that they had failed, and some of the retreating personnel had a large amount of blood on their bodies, which looked very terrifying, and more seriously, they were wounded, and the wounds were very large, as if they had been cut by a big guy like a watermelon knife.
The man in command saw us, guessed who we were, and beckoned us over. When we walked over, he said, "You're here to deal with it, aren't you?" ”
Ishihara was very experienced in this area, nodded directly, and asked, "What's in this?" ”
Seeing that she asked so directly, the man didn't talk too much, and said directly: "If I know, do I still need to call you to solve it?" I only know that the contents are not afraid of guns or shots, and there is also a strong desire to attack. ”
Doesn't that mean you haven't said it? It's been a waste of so many words, and it's taken me so much time to listen to you talk about this.
"Now, you have this communicator with you." The man took three ear-worn communicators from the guy, handed them to us, and continued: "Although I don't know what is inside, I noticed that the floor it is on will definitely lose power, and I will give you information outside." ”
"Oh? Is there a power outage? Ishihara's attitude seemed to have thought of something.
Listening to her tone, I asked, "Any clues?" ”
"I'm not sure yet, let's go in first, and maybe we'll see." She looked relaxed, shouldn't we figure out the situation first, ask the people who came out, and investigate for ourselves? It's too casual to say that you can just enter, right?
"What's wrong?" While I was still thinking, she had already taken the first step and reached the gate before she turned back to me and asked.
Although my heart is still a little trembling, I think that as the protagonist at this time, I should not be able to coax it no matter what, so I can only say, "Let's go." Then he followed.
Honestly, have you ever imagined walking alone in an empty hospital? The silence and emptiness combined with the complex smell in the air make the people in it feel anxious, nervous, and afraid. It's like you're playing a game where you just go down the stairs, and if you make the scene black, even if you know that nothing scary will appear, you will start to feel uneasy.
And I, right now, have this uneasy feeling, and there is something terrible here, which makes me completely out of the mood for joking. The ground was covered with bloodstained footprints, all extending from elevators or stairs, apparently left by the refugees upstairs. Ishihara led me to the elevator, I really didn't want to take this iron box up, I couldn't imagine what kind of plot it was, and didn't it say that there would be a power outage, what if this thing stopped and broke? Isn't that just for the slaughter of others?
So I led her down the stairs, which weren't much better, or worse. Because of the limitation of the speed of the elevator, most people will choose the stairs with greater circulation, if it seems to be a river of blood, then the elevator must be a pool of stagnant water.
We started to walk up, the blood was everywhere, and it was sticky when we walked up, and we could hear the sound of sizzling every step we took, which was very uncomfortable; And it's very slippery, and it feels like you'll fall if you're not careful, and it takes more effort to balance your body and not slip.
Some people say that when you are used to the smell of, the toilet smells fragrant. This theory of habit obviously has no effect on me now, and looking at the blood on the ground, all I can imagine is how panicked those people can be when they flee, and I have to move step by step in the direction of their escape, not so much to get used to it, but to become more and more frightened.
But Ishihara's performance was very calm, and he continued to walk as if nothing was wrong; At this time, I really didn't dare to say that she was lacking in heart, because I could feel the inexplicable confidence in her. I don't mean that she is blindly confident, but she feels that it is nothing to her, and she may not even notice how dangerous it is here, so to speak, she has the innate self-confidence of a strong man.
"Ahh A shrill roar came from above me, and I wasn't sure it felt like it was sharp enough to pierce everything, but it was close to us anyway.
"It's a big guy." Ishihara said to me, and I actually thought the same way, and nodded to her. But the strange thing is that we are on the third floor, and if I remember correctly, the lights should have been on the fifth floor, and if it had really turned to the fourth floor, we couldn't have heard the movement.
When we started to go up the stairs to the fourth floor, we found that the fourth floor was already dark, and although we wanted to lie to ourselves that it was just a voltage outage or something, we both felt the pressure and were stuck at the turn of the stairs between the third and fourth floors, and we didn't dare to step on it easily.
"It's not a way for us to stay here, do we want to go?" She asked, looking at me. I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that I had come to this point, and it would be too cowardly to go back, so I agreed. She nodded to me and shouted in Japanese, "Tadaaki! ”
"Hah!" Ono Tadaaki knelt beside Ishihara with his head bowed, ready to listen to her dispatch.
Ishihara said, "I'll trouble you to take the lead." ”
"Hah!" Ono Tadaaki bowed his head sharply, then got up and walked to the fourth floor. I couldn't understand what she was saying, but I wasn't a fool, and I could still guess what was in it, and I followed Ishihara up to the fourth floor.
As soon as we got up to the fourth floor, we felt very dark, needless to say, we all knew that it was like this without the lights on, but I didn't expect it to be so dark, I mean so weird that the black is. It stands to reason that the lighting will be dark in the room when the lighting fails, which everyone knows, but as long as the scene is not closed, there will be bright light, the moonlight in the sky, the lights coming in from the outdoors, and the indoor emergency indicator lights, there are too many light sources that can be found, but they can't be found here.
When we felt strange and looked back, we found that this darkness was like a virus, constantly spreading outward, and the turn of the stairs we were stuck in had been swallowed up by this darkness, and we couldn't see how to go down.
At this time, I only heard Ono's voice muttering something, and Ishihara kept answering, and after waiting for a while, Ishihara explained to me: "Mr. Tadaaki has briefly inspected this floor, but he has found nothing, and there seems to be nothing here. ”
When I heard this, I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this layer was not dangerous, but problems followed, and new problems were immediately derived; I asked, "So... Keep going up? ”
She shook her head and said, "No, let's investigate here first, we only have a very small amount of information on hand now, so to speak, we don't know anything, the power outage is the only way we can use it to determine its location, and now even this has been dismissed, which can only mean that there may be two problems." ”
"What's the problem." I asked.
"First, if the information about the power outage is accurate, it only means that we haven't found the right way to track it, and we can only passively wait for it to appear on its own; Second, if the information about the power outage is inaccurate, and it is on another level, does this darkness have anything to do with it? If anything, it is evidence that the darkness is opening outward. ”
I immediately heard the problem and asked, "Listening to you say this, whether the fifth floor is bright or black is the key, so why don't you go up and confirm these two arguments?" ”
She asked, "Can you see me now?" ”
I didn't know why she asked, but I could only answer truthfully: "I can't see it, only a vague general feeling." ”
"Do you feel it, then?"
"Not either."
"When we came up, the fourth floor was still lit, there must be some reason for that, right? And I don't know if you noticed, from the time we went up to the third floor, the communicator didn't respond. ”
When she said this, I noticed that the communicator she gave us was not responding, and everyone knew that there was always a rustle when the signal was transmitted, and the person had said that if anything happened, he would notify us immediately. I immediately understood what Ishihara was trying to say, and said, "Do you mean ......?"
"That's right, it's likely that it went down to the fourth floor when we came up. The most exaggerated thing is that when we were on the first floor, it was already going to the fourth floor, so if it went back to the fifth floor, we would be on the second floor at least at that time, right? Why didn't we hear anything? The biggest possibility is that it didn't go at all. ”
