I thought as I wandered through the mahogany bookshelves.

Soon, a high wall appeared in front of me, and this high wall was the one on the far right side of the store.

Behind this high wall is the staircase of the Snake Tower.

In the staircase, there is a staircase leading to the Snake Tower, and there is a strange first-floor stairwell.

"According to Gu Ya, the door leading to the staircase is on this high wall." I looked left and right, trying to find the door.

But when I searched for a while, I didn't find the door at all, only the frescoes hanging on the high walls.

"Gu Ya lied to me?" I walked along the high wall, and finally at the innermost part of the high wall, I found a door that appeared out of thin air.

Seeing this door that appeared out of thin air, I understood that Gu Ya didn't lie to me.

"There's no way there's a door here, and if there was a door in this location, I should have been able to see it." Standing in front of the door that appeared out of thin air, I turned to look and could clearly see the two red wooden doors, as well as the skull clock above the wooden door.

"I was standing there before, exploring the two red wooden doors, if there were doors in this location, I should be able to catch them, am I negligent for a moment?" I turned my body back and stared at the door that had appeared out of nowhere.

The door was weird, but I couldn't think of anything strange for a while.

It is oval-shaped, like a vertical snake scale magnified countless times, so to speak, this is a vertical snake scale door.

This vertical snake-scale door, unlike the two red wooden doors, is not made of red wood, but is formed by cast iron watering, which is a cold and unforgiving iron door.

But at this moment, the iron door had no sense of coldness, because it was covered with mottled rust.

Countless rusts cling, making the originally majestic iron gate look like a wind candle in his old age.

Perhaps it was damp, some of the rust slid down like blood, staining the ground near the iron gate red.

Stepping on the blood-red ground, I reached out my left hand and touched the iron door.

The thick rust immediately stuck to my hand, and I retracted my left hand and sniffed it, and a heavy smell of rust came to my nose.

The smell of rust, a bit like blood, made my nose flutter and I almost dizzy.

"This iron door is too worn, so scrape off the rust when you have time." With a faint mutter, I wanted to push open the iron door to see if it was really a staircase behind the door.

But before I could push the door, I figured out the strangeness of the iron door.

The strange thing is that it looks too much like a vertical snake scale!

Looking at this vertical snake scale door, the expression on my face froze for a moment: "This iron door won't have anything to do with the snake man, right?" ”

I thought about the snake tenants again, the smell, the sharp fangs, and the wriggling snake tails, all of which made my hair stand on end.

If I could choose again, I'd rather copy my paper a thousand times than meet those snake tenants.

It was those snake tenants who refreshed my worldview and made me understand that this is a strange and terrifying world.

Realizing that the iron gate had something to do with the snake man, I suddenly took a few steps back, and my body trembled slightly.

But soon, I felt that I was making a big fuss: "Even if this iron gate has something to do with the snake people, it is understandable, after all, the snake building is the hiding base of the snake people, and the snake people of this generation are all lost in the world of resentful spirits, so I don't have to be afraid at all." ”

"I still have to practice my guts, I am really brainless and timid." After a bit of self-deprecation, I revisited the Iron Gate.

Taking a deep breath, I pushed the iron door open.

Bang dang...... Bang dang......

The iron door was unlocked, and I easily pushed it open.

It was pitch black behind the iron gate, and I didn't know where I was.

And weirdly, the darkness seemed to be squeezing my body, making me feel a little uncomfortable.

The eyes are full of darkness, and people's facial features and six senses are particularly sensitive, and I am no exception.

I always felt like someone was standing on my side, puffing into my ear.

I subconsciously plucked out my ears to try to dispel the awe-inspiring breath.

The breath did not disappear obediently, but became stronger and stronger, constantly hitting my ears.

I fumbled around, desperately trying to find the person who was angry with me, but there was no one around me.

Luckily, there wasn't that person, and if I caught someone in the dark, I'd be instantly terrified, right?

There was no one on my side, but the breath continued, and I panicked and opened the black backpack and took out the flashlight inside.

Syllable!

The flashlight lit up.

"You're not going to hit ghosts, are you?" I hurriedly turned on the flashlight to the side, and there was silence on my side, not to mention a human figure, not even a ghost.

Maybe because of the light source, the breath in my ears disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared.

"It turned out to be a delusion, I was too nervous, and I actually had a delusion." Without the distraction of the breath, I felt much more comfortable and began to look around.

Although the surroundings were still occupied by darkness, I could vaguely see a ramped staircase by the light of a flashlight.

This inclined staircase is the staircase on the first floor of the Snake Tower, and if you follow this staircase to climb up, you can reach the second floor of the Snake Tower.

Looking at this inclined staircase, I finally knew that this was the staircase.

"What Gu Ya said is not a lie, this iron door really leads to the staircase." I smiled and sighed: "This is much more convenient, I can enter the bookstore through the iron gate, or I can go back to the snake building to rent a room through the iron gate, without having to go around in a big circle with effort and time." ”

This is true, if there is no iron gate, whether I open a store or return to the snake building to rent a house, I need to go through the snake tower gate.

But with this iron door, I can shuttle back and forth between the bookstore and the rental house without going through the gate of the snake building, which is undoubtedly much more convenient.

"However, the iron door must be locked, and the key to the iron door can only be held by oneself, and cannot be handed over to others at will." I said with a thoughtful look on my face.

"If you don't lock the iron door, or if you lock the iron door, you can place the key at will, which will give some people a chance, and once they find the loophole in the iron door, they can easily sneak into the bookstore and the snake building, threatening the normal operation of the bookstore, and even threatening my life." I analyzed it with a straight face.

All loopholes must be guarded against, this is my character, and it is also my rule of survival.

"When I buy cloth to cover the mural tomorrow, I will buy a lock by the way, by the way, the staircase light on the first floor is broken, and I need to buy a few more light bulbs." With that in mind, I looked at the staircase again.

The entire staircase was empty, except for the ramped staircase.

Beneath this ramped staircase, there is a narrow stairwell.

This narrow stairwell is the eerie first-floor stairwell.

And I, with a flashlight and a black backpack, happened to be standing in front of the stairwell on the first floor.

Actually, it's not just right, so to speak, after I walked out of the iron door, I stood in front of the stairwell on the first floor.

This is because the iron door in the store is opposite the door of the stairwell on the first floor.

In the Wraith World, I once entered this stairwell, found a snake man painting inside, and then went underground through the elevator behind the painting.

"If the underground is the most terrifying place in the Snake Tower, then this is the closest thing to horror."

"According to Gu Ya, the key to the room in the snake tower is in the stairwell in front of you."

Looking at this narrow stairwell, I was faintly uneasy, and even though I knew that the key was inside, I didn't dare to enter rashly.

"Damn, I'm starting to be timid again, all the snake tenants are dead, and the culprit female patient has also volunteered to die, turning into a remnant Li Yingyang, and the remnant Li Yingyang is in the code guide, so there should be no more danger in the snake building, what is there to be afraid of." I plucked up the courage and pushed open the door to the stairwell on the first floor.

The stairwell on the first floor was very narrow, and I walked in slowly with a flashlight while catterly.

As soon as I entered the stairwell, I smelled a pungent and eye-choking smell.

I quickly covered my mouth and nose and looked around.

The walls around the stairwell on the first floor are covered with red paint, and this pungent smell is the masterpiece of red paint on the wall.

"In the world of wraiths, the stairwell on the first floor is painted with a peaceful white paint, not red paint." I casually approached a wall and touched it with my hand: "The red paint hasn't dried yet, it's clearly freshly applied." ”

"Who the hell put all this red paint on?" I rubbed my fingers together and brushed the red paint off my hands.

"Hey, what is this?" I crouched down and stared at the black debris by the wall.

There were a lot of black debris on the side of the wall, densely scattered on the ground.

Curious, I picked up some black crumbs and sniffed.

After sniffing, I was stunned: "The smell is so stinky, these black crumbs are actually pieces of minced meat!" ”

"The minced meat is blackened, and it should have been left here for a long time." Knowing that it was minced meat, I quickly threw away the black crumbs on my hands and shouted bad luck.

"The minced meat is so dark that I can't tell if it's human flesh." The crumbs of black flesh were disgusting, and I instinctively looked away and looked back at the walls around me.

"There are no paintings of female snakes on the walls, and there are no small openings leading to elevators." In the world of resentful spirits, there is a female snake painting hanging in the stairwell on the first floor, and the female snake painting is the portrait of a female patient.

However, in the stairwell on the first floor of the real world, there is no painting of the female snake, and there is no small hole behind the painting, and the walls around it are sealed, only a thick red iron nail, inlaid on the wall where the female snake painting was originally hung.

A few strings of silver dangling keys hung from the red iron nails.

These strings of silver dangling keys should be the keys to the room of the snake tower.

Looking at these strings of snake tower keys, I didn't act very happy: "The ghost world is just a copy of the real world, so the stairwell on the first floor of the real world should be similar to the ghost world, why are they so different?" ”

"Maybe everything changed with the voluntary death of a female patient." I couldn't figure it out, and I only thought of this possibility.

"By the way, the small hole behind the painting leads to the elevator, and the elevator leads to the underground of the snake tower, and now the small hole in the wall has disappeared, so is the elevator still behind the wall? Is it sealed up? "At this moment, I felt the urge to knock through the wall to see if the elevator behind the wall was still there.

However, it didn't take long for me to reject the idea: "It's a big deal to break the wall, and you have to think about it in the long run, and more importantly, even if there is an elevator behind the wall, it's not very useful, after all, Li Yingyang is in the illustrated book, and I don't need to go underground." ”

That's right, after I returned to the real world, I wanted to go underground to find Lee Young-yang.

But then, when I found out that Lee Young-yang was in the illustrated book, I extinguished the idea of going underground, which was too dangerous and I didn't want to repeat the same mistakes.
