Chapter 18: The Disappearing Thirteenth Floor
The moment I pushed open the door of the dormitory building, a dark wind blew from inside. I shuddered.
"It's cold!" I hugged my shoulders and said with a shaver.
"Are you scared?" Li Tianyi looked at me and raised his eyebrows and said.
"Cut, whoever is afraid, just go." With that, I walked into the abandoned dormitory building first.
The walls around the staircase were covered in undried blood and strange symbols. The staircase was made of stone, but its handrails were made of wood, and it had become dilapidated in the dusty hours.
I was walking on the steps of the stairs, and the light on my phone (that is, the flashlight on my phone. Look for the dimly lit walls around you.
"Does this thing really work?" Li Tianyi asked me as he wiped something on his eyes.
"I don't know, I hope it helps." I didn't look back. What Li Tianyi was holding in his hand was the cow tears that Du Mo gave me, and he said that he could see ghosts with this.
"Do you know what that Ren Mushan looks like?" Li Tian asked as he walked.
"I looked at Feng Yingying," I gave him a strange look, "why are you talking so much today?" ”
"Didn't you notice?" Li Tianyi said lightly.
"What?" I asked, turning my head.
The light of his phone reflected on his glasses, and his expression could not be seen. He spoke slowly, "This is the fourth time we've been to the twelfth floor. ”
“!!” I looked back at the sign on the twelfth floor in front of me.
"According to Feng Yingying's words, Ren Mushan died on the thirteenth floor of the ground at that time." Li Tianyi looked at me and said.
"But we've been walking around the twelfth floor, did we encounter a ghost hitting the wall?" I looked at him and shouted.
"Quite possibly." As he spoke, he walked to the corner and stroked the wall with his hand.
"It's a good idea, because you can block our vision but not our sense of touch.
The walls on each floor cannot be exactly the same, and we can use our sense of touch to determine our position. I looked at him and said with some excitement.
"You're thinking too much, I'm just looking for a suitable place to be a graveyard." He turned to look at me and said, "Maybe ordinary ghosts tell the difference like this, but Ren Mushan has been dead for seven years, and she can already say that she has complete control over this place." ”
"So the walls on every floor are now exactly the same except for the numbers?" I looked at him in shock.
"I don't believe it." I shook my head violently.
"Then you can try." Li Tianyi sat down against the wall and said lightly.
I took one look at him and ran straight downstairs, and when I ran to the eleventh floor and touched the wall, it felt the same as the twelfth floor.
In this way, I ran through the floors, layer by layer, and finally returned to the original point out of breath.
"Got it?" He stood up and looked at me.
I nodded softly and looked at the ground, my eyes full of frustration. Am I just done? Wait a minute. ’
I suddenly raised my head and looked at Li Tianyi and said, "Don't pretend, I've already found out." ”
“?” Li Tianyi looked at me strangely.
"Li Tianyi's reasoning ability and insight are not below me, or even stronger than me, of course, the most terrifying thing about him is his extreme calmness." I looked at him and said slowly.
"It's true that everything is seamless, but you missed a little, with Li Tianyi's insight, even if I ignore it, it is impossible for him to find out that it is wrong now. So you're even more fake. I pointed at him.
"Go on." Li Tianyi's eyes had become extremely cold when he looked at me.
"If I'm not mistaken, the next step is to guide me to jump from here. Then I'll end up with those bones. That's right, Miss Ren Mushan. I looked at him and said coldly.
Li Tianyi kept staring at me for a long time before he exhaled and said, "You're right. You're horrible, just like that guy is a monster. ”
The guy in his mouth should be Li Tianyi, it seems that he should also see through it. ’
At this time, his sudden words interrupted my train of thought, "It's just that you are a little wrong, I am not Ren Mushan, I am just one of the many people who were killed by her, if you die here, you should actually be lucky." ”
"Hmph, whatever you want, I won anyway." I looked at him and shouted.
"Yes, you win and you can get out of here." After saying that, he snapped his fingers, and I suddenly felt like the world was spinning.
When I slowly opened my eyes, I was surprised to find that I was in the corridor on the thirteenth floor, and Li Tianyi was standing next to me, one of his arms seemed to be injured, and drops of blood dripped down his fingers to the ground.
"You're finally awake." Li Tianyi looked at me and said coldly.
"You're hurt?" I looked at him and shouted.
"It's just a small thing, if you wake up a little late, I don't care if you live or die." He said, staring into my eyes.
"Well, let's not talk about that, how did you get hurt?" I looked at him and asked.
"See for yourself, they might be coming soon." As he spoke, his gaze looked at the top of the stairs.
With a commotion, pale figures appeared at the top of the staircase, dressed in all sorts of clothes, including students, workers, cleaners, and school teachers.
"What is this?" I looked at him and asked, a little frightened
"As soon as I came out of the ghost wall, I saw a lot of these things slowly walking up." Speaking of this, he paused, "And you suddenly ran into them, and then immediately ran out (here corresponds to Cao Fan's point of view where he tested the fake Li Tianyi. Then I was hunted down with you, and you fainted as soon as you got here. He glared at me.
"And how are we supposed to get out?" I looked at these pale faces and asked Li Tianyi.
He glanced at me, then said lightly, "How do I know." ”
I looked at him in confusion, and suddenly I thought of something. Then he turned to him and said, "I have a way, you go first, I'll cover you." ”
He looked at me strangely and didn't say anything, and at that moment I took out the pistol that Zhao Lei had left for me and shot at those pale ghosts.
The light of the muzzle of the gun illuminated a large area in an instant, and in Li Tianyi's stunned gaze, a ghost figure was hit by a bullet and slowly dissipated.
"Why are you still stunned, let's go." I shouted at him. Then he ran to the other side and fired another shot at the ghosts, and one of the ghosts dissipated.
Most of the ghosts were lured to the other side by my actions. Only a small number of them are still chasing Li Tianyi, and Li Tianyi is also very fast. He climbed straight from the handrail of the stairs to the next floor, gradually distancing himself from the ghost.
As I was dodging the ghost, I was thrown to the ground, and in the panic I fired a shot but didn't hit any of the ghosts. "Dead" was the last thought that crossed my mind.
At that moment, the ghosts screamed as if something terrible had happened to me, and I ran straight downstairs without having time to think about it. The moment I ran out of the dormitory building, I heard a woman's voice ringing in my ears: "I'll let you go this time." Also, I'm not a messenger of Yellow Springs, you've been deceived. ”
"Hey, who are you?" I shouted. In his mind, he thought, 'It should be Ren Mushan.' I've been deceived, who's lying to me, is it the demon or her. ’
At this moment, Li Tianyi's voice sounded behind me: "You came out, it seems that my method is still useful." ”
"How?" I turned to look at him.
"When I distanced myself from the ghosts, it occurred to me that these guys were supposed to be ghosts who were dead in the school building, and that below them were their corpses; So I threw down one and lit the bones with a lighter (because they contain a lot of phosphorus, they can be easily ignited), and now it seems to be useful. He said lightly.
"Why did you save me, though?" He asked, looking at me.
"Because you saved me, too, and we're friends." I looked at him and said.
"Friends?" He watched me fall silent, and after a while he walked up to me and said, "I don't need friends. Then he left without stopping.
I looked at him and smiled, then glanced at the dorm building, and the smoke coming out of it, and left.
Today I survived again......
