"We're back. ”

"How?"

"The room card will be returned to you. I'm tired, I want Chen Yaofei to answer you. Yaofei, report back to him. Exhausted, I sat on the edge of Xie Changge's bed and was pushed away by his hand.

"There are no survivors or zombies in the tablespace. We went to building four and we would have liked to take the stairs because the elevator was out of line and we couldn't go up. However, there were a lot of cardboard boxes on the stairs, piled up to the top floors, and we couldn't go up. Due to the elevator malfunction, we were unable to take the elevator down to the passage where we first arrived, but we could go down by stairs. The basement level was blocked, and the door seemed to be sealed against the wall, no matter how we kicked it, it still didn't move, it wasn't normal. The staircase to the second basement floor was pitch black. We made our way in the dark and reached the bright passageway. Only then did we know that there was an extra dark passage on both sides of the elevator. Based on the distance we walked, the journey from the bright passage to the stairs was not long. It's just that, as if controlled by supernatural forces, the electric light in the bright passage cannot shine into the short dark passage. Passing through the bright passage and opening the exit door, the pitch black passage is still familiar. Thanks to the guidance of the elevator indicators, we can get to the elevator even when the passage is dark. We waited twenty minutes, the elevator didn't open, and we went back the way we came. ”

"Let me add here," I said to Xie Changge, who was sitting next to Xie Changge's right foot, "Regarding that short dark passage, we used a flashlight to illuminate it, but it didn't work. The light of the flashlight is like being swallowed up by darkness. There are even more bizarre things...... Uh, Chen Yaofei, you name it. ”

After I finished speaking, Chen Yaofei continued: "We went back, and Yi Jiahe said that he wanted to take the elevator. Entering the elevator, the elevator that used to only reach two floors can now go up to any floor of Building 4. We first went to the basement level. The basement level is a parking lot with no vehicles in it. After walking around, we tried to get out of the underground parking lot to the outside of the hospital, but we couldn't find the exit from the underground parking lot. ”

"The builders of this ward are idiots. If there is no exit from the underground parking lot, don't make an underground parking lot to save resources. "I wanted to lie on Xie Changge's lap, but he bent his knees to dodge.

"Although the elevator can access every floor of Building 4, the elevator cannot open the door above the 20th floor......"

"And then it's a super interesting thing," I interjected, "I thought, since the faulty elevator can be used normally from below and up, what will happen if you go up and down on the blocked stairs?" I asked Xie Changge with a wicked smile. My wicked smile didn't attract Xie Changge's attention.

Xie Changge shrunk his legs and looked at the darkness outside the window and said, "The stairs can be walked." ”

"Yes. We walked up the stairs from the nineteenth floor to the first floor, with no boxes or wheelchairs standing in our way. ”

"Ask a question. ”

"What?" Chen Yaofei and I turned to Xie Changge together.

"What's in the box?"

"Huh?" "By the way, I haven't thought about it. A little angry, I replied to Xie Changge: "How do I know." ”

"It seems to be glass. ”

"How do you know?" I asked Chen Yaofei.

"When Yi Jiahe kicked the box, I heard the sound of glass breaking. "Ah, it seems to be such a voice.

I turned my head and asked Xie Changge, "Why are you asking this boring question? What do you think is in the box?"

"Corpses. ”

There was cold silence in the ward. It took me a long time before I thought of asking Chen Yaofei to continue the report.

"We continue to explore in tablespaces. In both Building 4 and Building 3, all rooms remain locked. Although the door of the bathroom is open, the door of the toilet is closed, so you cannot enter it. Tap water is still usable and no significant change in water quality has been observed. When we returned to Building 3, Yi Jiahe thought about it again, and planned to go to the second basement floor of Building 3 with me. However, there is no button on the second basement floor in the elevator, and the stairs only lead to the parking lot on the basement level. ”

"Unbelievable. In other words, there are two floors underneath, but the second basement floor of Building 3 is sealed. Surprised, right?" I was a little proud to learn of this fact.

"I've thought of this for a long time. Xie Changge turned back and bowed his head and said.

"Just blow it. "I wouldn't believe that Xie Changge could think of this.

"Is there a connection between the underground parking lot of Building 3 and the underground parking lot of Building 4?" Xie Changge asked with his head down.

"Uh......" I don't remember.

"Yes. I saw the entrance and exit with the sign of Building 3. Chen Yaofei replied.

"Is there an entrance to the second basement level in the underground parking area of Building 3?"

Yes or no?

"Nope. At least, I didn't find out. Yi Jiahe, have you noticed?" Chen Yaofei asked me.

Xie Changge also raised his head to look at me when he heard Chen Yaofei say.

"Hey, there's ...... Or not?" I revealed my secret biography - an uncle-style giggle.

"Since I'm not sure, Yi Jiahe, let's go take a look. Chen Yaofei turned around and prepared to leave.

"No, I don't want to go, I'm tired of walking around. "Twenty-eight-year-old me hates shopping.

"There are still three hours until seven o'clock in the evening. You've got enough information. The ward is changing, and if you can't come back here after you go out, you'll be in trouble. ”

"It's finally time to rest. I lay back on Xie Changge's hospital bed. The sheets were soft and comfortable. I really want to get some sleep. "Wait a minute," I thought of one thing and asked Xie Changge, "Xie Changge, after sleeping, will the time really be reduced?"

"Sometimes it doesn't, and I haven't grasped the rules yet — whether there are rules or not, I can't say. ”

After speaking, Xie Changge added: "At least when I am with you, my sleeping time has not decreased. ”

In the following time, after the discussion, we plan to rest and recuperate and prepare for rushing to the twentieth floor. I was originally sleepy, but when I lay on the sofa in Xie Changge's ward, I couldn't sleep. I didn't want to disturb Xie Changge, who was sleeping on the hospital bed, and Chen Yaofei, who was leaning on the table, I sat on the sofa and sighed.

"Can't you sleep?" It seemed that the sound of sighing was too loud, and I woke Xie Changge up.

"Sorry, it's me who was too loud. ”

Xie Changge sat up and leaned against the head of the bed and said to me, "It's not your reason. I can't sleep. ”

"I can't sleep either. Chen Yaofei sat up, leaned back in his chair, and looked at the ceiling with wide eyes.

"Everybody can't sleep," I said to them, rubbing my face, "since we can't sleep, we might as well talk." ”

"What are you talking about?" Chen Yaofei asked.

"Talk...... My own life?" I couldn't think of anything that would stir up the atmosphere, so I said what made me who I am today.

"Then who will come first?" Chen Yaofei is interested in any topic.

"Xie Changge. "I remembered that I was always called Xie Changge for assistance in class, so I named Xie Changge again.

I'll be the second to say. "It's not that it's not that it's not said, Xie Changge's words can't be refused.

"Then I'll be the first to say. Chen Yaofei began to talk about his life: "I love playing football. My dream is to become a famous footballer. If this dream can't be realized, I want to become a martial arts master. If that dream doesn't come true, I want to be a chef and make good food. I don't have a favorite girl yet. I want to be good friends with my classmates. ”

"Finished?" I asked.

"It's over. Chen Yaofei replied.

Tired, I collapsed on the sofa, and then immediately got up and asked Chen Yaofei: "Little brother, do you know what 'life' means? Why don't you talk about your past?"

"My past ......" Chen Yaofei lowered his head and thought carefully, and then replied, "I grew up from a baby to ......"

"Forget it, when you're done. Xie Changge, it's your turn. ”

Xie Changge bowed his head and said nothing. I think he thinks that Chen Yaofei's perfunctory "life" is successful, and he can also make something up.

"My life is a prison, a prison called 'guilt' that I built myself. After saying this, Xie Changge was silent.

"Oh my God," I said to them, "so that you may tell us about your own lives, and one of you is talking about your dreams, and you are all making strange parables." Forget it, I'll say it. ”

My life...... Where do I begin to tell my story?

"Do you believe that there are gods in this world?"

"I don't believe it. Before the words fell, Xie Changge answered me.

Chen Yaofei is still thinking. I didn't wait for Chen Yaofei's answer and said, "I used to be an atheist, but now I'm not an atheist. ”

"Why?" Chen Yaofei asked me.

"Because ...... "In this walking corpse house, I don't know if I'm still alive after the darkness falls, and it doesn't make a difference whether I tell the secret or not," because I've seen the gods. ”

The two of them were silent, staring at me with stunned faces.

"I've really seen the gods. ”

"What does he look like?" Chen Yaofei asked me.

"People look like people. ”

Chen Yaofei began to imagine. Maybe my answer was very vague, but I saw Chen Yaofei meditating hard but it seemed that he could not find a definite portrait.

"He's a man who looks younger than me, no, about the same age as us. I guess this is the transformation of a god, after all, he is a god, and he can become whatever he wants. ”

"And then?" asked Chen Yaofei.

"Then, and then I talked to him. I...... I made a wish to him – or rather, he made one of my wishes come true. ”

"What wish?" Chen Yaofei asked.

"Back in time. "Said it.

The room was silent. Then, Chen Yaofei laughed heartily: "Yi Jiahe, you say, you say go back to the past, haha, hahahaha......"

I rushed forward and hooked Chen Yaofei's neck to tickle him, saying, "Let you laugh, let you laugh enough." ”

"I'm sorry, haha, I'm sorry, I don't dare, haha......"

Seeing Chen Yaofei's smiling face, I felt sad.

"What's the matter, why are you crying?" Chen Yaofei looked up and asked me. His eyes were full of concern.

I didn't wipe my tears, but looked at Xie Changge. Xie Changge was also looking at me, his eyes full of confusion.

"yes, what's wrong. "I bent down and hugged Chen Yaofei, just as I did in the time loop, hugging this person who had suffered the same indifference as my classmates.

"Yi Jiahe, if you have anything sad, just say it. It's a little better to say it. Chen Yaofei touched my head and smiled comfortingly.

"I'm not sad, I'm happy, I'm crying with joy. I'm grateful to the gods for letting me go back in time, even if I have to be ignored by my classmates over and over again in a time loop. Because I can see you again and have the opportunity to be friends with you. ”

Before I knew it, I was beginning to tell the story of my life: "My life was full of despair. In the darkness without the light of hope, I longed for love and care. Eating alone, walking alone, playing games alone, writing plays alone. A turning point can change a person's life. If I get a high score in the college entrance examination, my life will change. I would be a student at an undergraduate university, then a graduate student, praised by my parents, and boasted about by my relatives. On second thought, it dawned on me that it didn't make sense. My life is the path I have chosen, even if it is a path of no return. ”

Two people silently listened to me talk about my life. Suddenly, I couldn't speak. The room fell silent again.

"Back in the past, are you satisfied?" Xie Changge asked me.

"Yes, because ......," I said, putting my face on Chen Yaofei's face, "I've made a friend who I haven't had much contact with in my previous life." ”

"We're not friends. Chen Yaofei gave me a heavy blow when he said this.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and I thought of an excuse to change what I had said. Thinking that he should let go of Chen Yaofei, Chen Yaofei said: "We are brothers and family. ”

"This ......" I choked speechlessly, unable to move as I looked at Chen Yaofei's smirk up close.

"I have an older brother. Xie Changge's words broke the delicate atmosphere between me and Chen Yaofei.

Chen Yaofei and I looked at Xie Changge and thought he would continue, but I didn't expect him to keep silent.

"Chen Yaofei, do you have a brother?" My purpose was to elicit Xie Changge's later words.

"Yes. ”

"So you're not an only child. I always thought you were an only child. ”

"My brother is you. ”

Belch......

"Yi Jiahe, do you have a brother?" When I was stunned, Chen Yaofei asked me rhetorically.

"I am an only child, and I have no brothers. Unable to look directly at Chen Yaofei's expectant gaze, I said, "If you want to, you are my righteous brother." "Isn't it time to come to Taoyuan to settle the tie?

"If the gods give me a chance to go back to the past, I'll change my decision. Even if it costs me my life, I will not hesitate to do it. Xie Changge looked at us and said something that I seemed to have heard at a certain time and place. His expression looked so lonely. Xie Changge and us don't seem to be in the same ward, not in the same different space, but in a place that no one can reach. I've been to this place, and it's a cage that we've made ourselves—a cage called the Prison of Solitude.

"The gods will hear your prayers. If he doesn't come to hear your prayers, I'll beat him. I said to Xie Changge.

"Wow, are you really going to fight against the gods?" Chen Yaofei was taken aback.

"Of course," I said triumphantly, "he exists, he is substantial. Since he has physical access to him, why can't I beat him up when he's unreasonable?"

"Hmph...... "Chen Yaofei and I looked at Xie Changge. He lowered his head and showed a smile I had never seen before.

Xie Changge looked up at the ceiling of the ward, and I clearly saw a tear in the corner of his eye: "You are really similar to him, like an idiot." ”

"Who?" I pointed to myself. Xie Changge did not agree.

"It has to be you, brother. Chen Yaofei looked up and said to me with a smile.

I reached out and touched Chen Yaofei's neck, he shrank up "haha", and then laughed nonstop. Well, what Xie Changge is talking about must be Chen Yaofei. However, who is "he", is he his brother in Xie Changge's mouth?

"Let's rest for a while, let's go to the twentieth floor in advance, and then find a safe place on the twentieth floor. When darkness descended and we entered the inner space, we quickly went to the neurologist's office to retrieve Du Ming's notes. ”

I asked Xie Changge, "Is Du Ming's handwriting really that important?"

Xie Changge smiled handsomely and said to me, "Yes." If I'm right, we can get important clues in Du Ming's notes to escape from this ward. "Don't forget the latest chapter of the "Don't Forget the Blessing and Claw Book House of the Past in the Past" is free to read for the first time.
