Chapter 012: Escape
Fang Liang's face was very bad now, he suddenly experienced a nightmare in the process of trying to trigger it, it was a lot of mental and physical exertion for him, not to mention that he had just climbed to the 23rd floor, and he had almost no strength to continue climbing the stairs.
The dream was a little too real, as if there was a feeling that if you were not careful, you would be trapped in it and there would be no escape.
It's like self-contradictory thinking stuck in an insurmountable loop, capable of trapping people in dreams that they can never wake up from, is that really what games can do?
At this moment, Fang Liang found himself hiding under his desk, while his friend was still by his side.
"Fang Liang, are you okay, your face is a little scary, have you been attacked by a curse?" Li Xiaoyu asked.
"I'm fine, I won't even die if I haven't scratched my skin." Fang Liang shook his head.
"What was that hallucination just now, Duan Jianmin's real murderous consciousness and his cognition?"
Fang Liang struggled out of the desk, half-squatted on the ground and said: "No matter, go quickly, keep up with that Duan Jianmin, he is the only way to live, you must not let the murderous phantom in the elevator get Duan Jianmin's head, otherwise it will immediately start killing people indiscriminately." β
"Duan Jianmin is indeed the one who releases the curse, but he is also the only one who can restrain the curse."
Lu Ming helped Fang Liang out of the office area
It's unimaginable that the time of the entire building is actually forced to stand still by the power of the curse, and only the holder of the curse can resist this curse power, and once he falls, it will trigger the real annihilation.
As soon as these words came out, the other three people didn't care whether the people were humans or ghosts, so they could only run out of the office area and pray not to lose their goals.
As a result, as soon as they ran to the corridor, Lu Ming and Li Xiaoyu were frightened by Duan Jianmin's gaze and froze in place.
"Duan Jianmin, your name is Duan Jianmin, right?"
The programmer known as Duan Jianmin looked at the four people who came out suspiciously: "Uh, hello, do you have something to do with me?" I just finished working overtime and was going home to sleep, don't talk to me about work now, I'm tired. β
"I didn't order a pizza takeout or breach property security, do you have anything to do with me?"
After that, Duan Jianmin's hands were anxious and fast, and he pressed all the 2 passenger elevators and 1 freight elevator to light up: "Do you want to go down together?" It's also tiring to climb down the 23rd floor, and there are not many people taking the elevator in the morning, so just press it. β
"No, no, I just feel like I'm a little impressed, good morning!"
What is going on with all this when the people can speak?
Fang Liang really almost fainted by Duan Jianmin's cheating, but he quickly calmed down, now they can't be a goof, and Duan Jianmin himself can't be a goof, no matter what happens, this is the only chance to leave.
"There are murderous phantoms in the three elevators that can drag people away, which one of the people in the section will go up."
"As long as you get on the wrong elevator, if you don't get it, it's a direct kill, you must follow this guy."
Fang Liang was sending a message in the team's voice, and at the same time, Duan Jianmin had been touching his neck.
Obviously, Duan Jianmin's neck has long been broken, and the cracked flesh is ironclad evidence of death, but now he feels that his neck is very itchy, but he is completely unaware of it, this is the so-called way of life.
As soon as these words came out, the team's voice exploded instantly.
Lu Ming stared at Fang Liang with wide eyes: "I cracked it directly, Fang Liang actually said that he wanted to get on the elevator!" Are you crazy! β
Li Xiaoyu's face was also pale: "What if the neck of the people is broken halfway through?" Isn't the relationship of this curse seal too fragile, once we get into the elevator and have an accident, we can't run! β
Cao Zhengfei also looked at Fang Liang suspiciously, and the team kept asking in their voices: "Do you have an alternative?" Once the balance between the curses is broken, we must be so cold that we can't climb down? β
Fang Liang shook his head again and again, making frantic eye contact: "No, every elevator has a curse, don't you think it's super quiet in the building now?" God knows where everyone else died when we climbed the stairs! β
"We climb the stairs as fast as Duan Jianmin himself, in Duan Jianmin's cognition, the only chance to escape the building is the moment he goes out after work, how can he ensure that he just steps on the road and runs away without staring at him?"
Before the elevator came, Fang Liang quietly slipped back to the company, casually flipped over some props and pinched them in his hands.
Lu Ming's thick eyebrows glared angrily and clenched his fists: "Fang is bad, you are playing with fire, do you know!" β
Fang Liang helplessly rolled up his pockets: "In case the people's head is going to fall off, I'll see if I can stick it back for him." β
Li Xiaoyu covered her head, as if she was about to be driven crazy by the safe area of this pit father: "If I knew this, wouldn't it be better if we just waited on the first floor?" β
Fang Liang squeezed his eyebrows helplessly: "That Wan Yiren will be cold upstairs, then we will also die with him, if he is not close to the gate, I am afraid that time will not pass, and the curse at the gate will not be temporarily lifted, not to mention that during our investigation, the killing elevator with emergency power supply has not stopped......"
Cao Zhengfei also touched a roll of tape before the elevator came up: "It's not difficult to trigger the curse, since Duan Jianmin himself is the last safety protection valve to prevent the curse from killing people everywhere, it must be right to follow him." β
"Ding~"
Three elevators reached the 23rd floor at about the same time.
Duan Jianmin scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "It seems that it's still too early, no one else takes the elevator, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm a bit of a waste of public resources, hahaha." β
Fang Liang, Lu Ming, Li Xiaoyu and Cao Zhengfei craned their necks to look into the elevator.
In the corner of every elevator stood a Duan Jianmin covered in blood and with his head down, and it was obvious that a call was more terrifying than no call. At least when the power went out, the curse only kills at a rate of 1x, but now it is a rate of 3x.
Whoever misses the only correct elevator has an infinitely close to 100% chance of being wiped out.
Just as Duan Jianmin was about to step into the first elevator, he suddenly shrank his legs, bared his teeth and grinned: "Oops, I suddenly pulled urine tendons when I sat for too long and walked, can you help me stop for a while, I promise to do it soon!" β
"Go and get back."
"Thank you, thank you, I'm really sorry! I'll be back soon. β
Cao Zhengfei glanced at Duan Jianmin, and the guy who didn't know if he was a human or a ghost had already run to the toilet.
In the eyes of Lu Ming and others, Ah Fei's psychological quality is really terrifying.
First of all, they couldn't let the elevator go down, and they couldn't let the things in the elevator come out, there seemed to be people climbing up in the corridor, Fang Liang and they couldn't even be sure what was climbing up.
But every time the elevator closes automatically, you have to press the button continuously to ensure that the door opens.
The worst thing is that getting close to the elevator will trigger the curse's killing pattern, which will then have a chain reaction of the curse's power, causing the elevator door to always slam shut, and even need to use something to jam it to prevent the elevator from leaving.
However, when the elevator door opened again, the curse disguised as Duan Jianmin was one step closer to the door.
Although the Murder Phantom cannot leave the elevator, the inside of the elevator is its territory.
The passenger elevator of the building, with a nuclear load of 1000kg, and the rated nuclear capacity is 13 people.
Building freight elevators, under normal circumstances, are forbidden to carry people, but it does not prevent people from secretly using it.
In Fang Liang's inferential hypothesis, it is assumed that the only safe zone is the elevator that Duan Jianmin enters when he gets off work.
Then its rated capacity will be 13 minus 2 people (Murder Phantom and Duan Jianmin), and at most only 11 people can enter the elevator.
If the limit is combined with the weight difference, more people force their way into the elevator, and then the elevator full load alarm is triggered. It's not good that people like Duan Jianmin will choose to get off the elevator at this time.
Or the plot will be more energetic and high-energy - the number of people is seriously exceeded but not full, Duan Jianmin and the murderous phantom become suspicious, and gradually realize that he is not actually human.
Immediately after the curse killing mechanism is triggered, the elevator will also be forced to close due to the force that urges the line to close, so the people who are sitting in the same elevator laugh and all play GG, and no one can survive to clear the dungeon.
"Lazy baby, don't press it, mom is afraid!"
"It's getting closer and closer to us, it's about to come out of the elevator, why do we have to die!"
Cao Zhengfei crooked his eyebrows and glared at Lu Ming strangely: "The male mother will climb for the master." β
Li Xiaoyu cried with a sad face, he was already panicked, and asked him to do this kind of operation, which was more uncomfortable than killing him: "Do we just leave one elevator, why should the other two elevators be pressed together!" β
Cao Zhengfei closed his eyes and stomped his feet impatiently: "These three elevators are all activated because of the call, and there are murderous phantoms in each of them, if you put the elevator down now, you won't be afraid of being killed by it blocking the door when the time comes?" β
"The best solution is to keep the power of the curse to a minimum, and once it manages to get out of the elevator, the rules of the elevator will lose control over it. Don't forget, it could have come out, but there were rules in the way. β
"As for the other players, we are competitive and it's not our fault that they don't see through the rules."
Duan Jianmin's soak of urine made a few people in front of the elevator like years, fortunately, this old brother rushed over without washing his hands after going to the toilet, otherwise if Li Xiaoyu and Lu Ming continued to press like this, they would both be crazy.
Of course, escaping in the elevator with Duan Jianmin and the Murder Phantom was not a fun game experience in the first place.
Duan Jianmin had just finished the convenience, and was also startled by the slamming elevator door: "Oh, you say, this, are these three elevators broken?" Why did this door close so quickly, what if someone was trapped! β
However, after Duan Jianmin approached, the killing mechanism was obviously no longer triggered, and he seemed to be able to suppress the killing phantom, so the elevator door returned to normal very abruptly.
Is Duan Jianmin really unable to see the murderous phantom, or is he deliberately acting to deceive people and take the bait?
Fang Liang and the others were extremely stiff, anyway, now that time stood still, no one was running, and they could only go one way to the dark.
"Hey, what's wrong with this elevator, why is it normal as soon as you say it......"
"Then we, do we still have to take the elevator? Or is it better to go down the stairs? Li Xiaoyu collapsed.
"Sit, if you die, you can still cheat an accident personal accident insurance, why not? Young man, you're in a hurry to deliver food everywhere, when will it take to climb downstairs. β
Duan Jianmin didn't know whether he was optimistic or nervous, and he dared to take this kind of elevator.
"Sacrifice your life to accompany the gentleman." The four of them closed their eyes and kicked their legs, and followed Duan Jianmin into the elevator.
Press the close button and the elevator door slowly closes.
The elevator then stopped on the 22nd floor and the doors opened again.
There were no lights on outside the door, and there were people in the hallway looking like ashes, and it was impossible to tell if they were players, living people, or some other messy curse.
"Huh? Isn't there anyone on the elevator, wouldn't it be that we left the elevator open and delayed others from using the elevator? β
Duan Jianmin couldn't see the crowd at the door, he pressed the close button, and the elevator closed and continued to fall.
The elevator then stopped on the 21st floor and the doors opened again.
"Is there really anyone else who wants to use the elevator?" Duan Jianmin shook his head and pressed the close button again.
The elevator then stopped on the 20th floor and the doors opened again.
"It's annoying, it can't be a prank, why is there someone pressing the elevator on every floor!"
β¦β¦
"It's too cheap! Comrade security guard, you will have to check it out in a while, this person is too lacking in morality! β
β¦β¦
"Alas, every floor is open, and minutes are wasted, and there will be more queues at the breakfast stalls in a while."
β¦β¦
"What the hell is wrong with this, we take up 1 minute of the elevator, why do you press every floor for me?"
The next thing is known to the living people in the elevator, and this special chronic torture is simply life-threatening.
Although the existence of Duan Jianmin suppressed the actions of the murderous phantom with a certain law, the curse full of malice did not dissipate.
It's like putting your hand into a pool full of live hagfish, as if something sticky and slippery is drilling around all over your body, as if you want to find some crevice and get headlong into it.
The sound outside the building is getting noisier and louder, people outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out.
The most terrifying thing is that they don't dare to shout in the elevator, they can only tense their nerves to accept everything.
10th floor, 8th floor, 4th floor, 3rd floor!
Lu Ming and Li Xiaoyu didn't play much horror, and their teeth were constantly trembling after staying up, and the enamel clicked and closed, as weird as being possessed by a skeleton monster.
Fang Liang had been paying attention to the changes in Duan Jianmin, ready to stick to Duan Jianmin's neck at any time, and it was not very easy.
But as long as they stick to it, sooner or later the elevator will successfully go down to the 1st floor.
"Ding~"
The door opened gently, Lu Ming had never felt that the sound of the elevator opening door was so pleasant, but Duan Jianmin still stopped in the elevator and did not move, and the murderous phantom in the corner did not move, and the scene was once careful.
It was all weird and deadlocked, until Cao Zhengfei's calm voice came: "Mr. Duan, it's already on the first floor." β
"Oh, oh! It turns out that it's already here, I'm sorry I almost fell asleep standing up, thank you, comrade security. β
Duan Jianmin seemed to be in a trance, he stepped out of the door, and Fang Liang and the others followed.
Approaching the gate, Duan Jianmin skillfully opened the door and walked down the steps step by step.
After confirming that Duan Jianmin had crossed the hidden red line and had not triggered the law of killing, Fang Liang and the others didn't want to endure it anymore, and finally rushed out of the glass door with a strange scream.
"Ahhhh βββ
Ignoring Duan Jianmin's reaction, they rushed down the steps in a few steps, and the cold behind them was successfully isolated on the last step, and all the voices and noises left them at this moment.
The sultry air spewed out of its chest, sweat fell into the corners of its eyes, and as soon as it raised its wrist holding the phone, it couldn't help but start to twitch continuously, its whole body was unwilling to move any longer, and its mouth was full of the smell of blood.
Fang Liang closed his eyes, didn't think about anything, just lay on the green lawn with such a big character, breathing greedily.
Inexplicably, this felt somewhat familiar, Fang Liang remembered that when he was in elementary school, he missed the school bus once.
He was afraid of being scolded by his parents, and he was afraid of being punished for being late, and his screaming was too small for anyone to hear, so he kept chasing the school bus farther and farther, but fortunately someone on the school bus found him, and finally the school bus stopped at the bus stop.
Whether it's a cursed person, or an ordinary person, it seems that there will be some despair and struggle.
Fang Liang sat up and looked at it levelly, the dawn fog was as light as a phantom veil, Duan Jianmin stood on the junction line between the forest and the asphalt road, and a woman in white led a girl, slowly walking towards the raunchy face.
In the shadowy forest, a ray of blood suddenly slowly emerged from the cracks.
Time began to flow again, the blood red seemed to ignite something, the restless dark clouds and it turned into fire and smoke, there was temperature and wind, pieces of golden fish scale clouds and broken confetti clouds flew out of the flames, the stars quietly disappeared in the night, the swaying dark green leaves, and the eagle flew over the blue sky.
The puppet surrounded by the red thread, in the infinite entanglement of reincarnation, finally dreamed of the sunrise in the depths of darkness once.
"Daddy's off work!"
"yes, I can finally go home."
The daughter held Duan Jianmin's hand, and his wife held Duan Jianmin's waist, they didn't need to be afraid of anyone's gaze or sight, and walked in broad daylight without burden.
"Has it been waiting on the top of the building?" Fang Liang raised his left hand, wanting to compare how big the eagle was at this height, but he inadvertently noticed that the red lines on the back of his hand were gradually fading.
"Thank you......" I don't know if it's a self-inflicted illusion, Fang Hao seems to have heard a familiar voice.
When I looked at it again, Duan Jianmin and his family had already dissipated into the early morning mist.
Suddenly, Fang Liang heard Cao Zhengfei "Huh! "Yes.
Following Cao Zhengfei's gaze and looking back, Fang Liang finally realized that there was something wrong with this buildingβit seemed to be in a state of multiple time and space confusion, and the sunlight from the outside world could not dispel the darkness inside it.
In the three elevators that opened at the same time, a bloodstained figure in a blue and white plaid shirt could be vaguely seen.
Many people struggled and yelled in the building, they tried to escape from the building, but they were locked in that night and could not escape.
A pair of palms were pressed against the glass, and then they were dragged into the darkness by an invisible force.
As the elevator doors slowly closed, only the remaining palm marks on the glass door walls could prove that these people had ever existed.
After a few moments, a familiar and reassuring system protection effect appeared, and the fatigue faded away.
