Cui Li and I came to a very long corridor, there are many rooms on both sides of the corridor, because the lights are not bright, we can only go forward with the flashlight, then Cui Li shines the flashlight back and forth and says, "You see this room seems to be able to go in?" Would you like to go in and have a look? ”
I followed the light of his flashlight and saw a dilapidated wooden door, but it wasn't completely closed. The room was pitch black and I couldn't see anything, so I picked up my flashlight and shone it inside. It's just some old furniture, and there's nothing special about it.
"Let's go in and see, maybe there's some hint." I pushed the wooden door open as slowly as I could, and there was a lot of dust on the doorknob.
Walking into the house, Cui Li tried to find out if there was a switch for the top light on the wall. I shone around with my flashlight, but I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, and just as I was about to leave, the roof light suddenly came on.
"I found the switch for the light, and it's great, it looks like it still works." Cui Li stood at the door and said.
But the moment the lights came on, I suddenly realized that there was a man on the sofa, impossible! No way! I just confirmed with a flashlight that there shouldn't be anyone else! And Cui Li was standing at the door, it was impossible for anyone to come in, but when Cui Li and I saw the man's face clearly, we were all speechless in shock. The man on the sofa is none other than Zhang Hairui, the --------- who helped us open the test door half an hour ago!
"You... You... Isn't it outside the gates of this building? How? Cui Li's question was not finished. But we realized that Zhang Hairui didn't seem to notice us, and his gaze was looking in the opposite direction from us.
"I say! What do you mean? I'm talking to you! Cui Li was angry at Zhang Hairui's ignorance, and he was about to walk quickly in front of him, but I stopped him.
"Why are you stopping me? I'm going to tell him face to face, isn't he playing a trick on us? Cui Li tried hard to push my block away.
"Cui Li, wait a minute." I gestured with my hand for a quiet gesture.
Just when we were trying to figure out the cause of the matter, we suddenly found that a more familiar figure appeared in the direction of Zhang Hairui's gaze!
"It can't be! What kind of kidding is this!" Cui Li couldn't believe everything in front of him, in fact, it wasn't just Cui Li, and I couldn't believe it was all true.
Lin Yun !! How could it be you! What the hell is going on? How did you end up here? Cui Li yelled at the familiar figure!
Lin Yun, who was standing on the side of the room, also ignored Cui Li's question. just said coldly to Zhang Hairui on the sofa: "You didn't tell them? ”
Zhang Hairui smiled: "I don't think there's any need to tell them at all, and they won't understand it anyway." Isn't it? ”
"But you're alone, will you succeed? How can we trust you? Lin Yun's tone was tinged with a hint of disdain.
Zhang Hairui didn't get angry because of this, but stood up and said with a smile: "Of course you can, I just need you to help me." ”
"I say! You don't exist when we don't exist! What the hell is going on? "I'm afraid Cui Li's anger is about to explode.
I looked around, and then at Zhang Hairui and Lin Yun on the side. My head started hurting again. "How are you? It can't be the reason for the anger, the head hurts again, right? Cui Li helped me to the door.
"Hey! Anyone? Anyone? Can you hear me? At this moment, Li Ruina's voice came from the walkie-talkie.
"Li Ruina, what's wrong with you? It's me! Can you hear me? I picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted.
"Come help me, I'm stuck, !! I'm on the second floor now..."Before Li Ruina finished speaking, the signal on the walkie-talkie was cut off, and only Di... Backbite... Backbite... sounds.
We didn't have time to question Zhang Ruihai and Lin Yun in the house, so we quickly left the house and returned the same way down the corridor, all the way to the spiral staircase where we were grouped.
"Quick! Cui Li! I've got to hurry! "We ran to the second floor of the building without stopping. I kept shouting over the intercom, "Li Ruina!" Where are you! Can you hear me? ”
A voice came from the walkie-talkie, but the person who spoke was not Li Ruina, but Xia Cheng.
"What's wrong? The signal from the walkie-talkie in front of me doesn't seem to be good, and it can't be used all the time. What happened to Li Ruina? ”
"She is now trapped on the second floor, but I don't know the exact location yet, Cui Li and I are looking for her." I squeezed the walkie-talkie in my hand tightly.
"Okay, we'll come over and help too. You guys—" The signal on the walkie-talkie was cut off again.
September 22, 2021 at 9:26 a.m.
The second floor is not like the first floor where we were before, there is no long corridor, but a circular hall, there are also many rooms around, in the center of the hall there is a huge controller, there are many different buttons on it, I pressed a few buttons at random, suddenly the door of one room opened, I pressed a few more buttons, the door that had just opened closed again, and at the same time the door of another room opened again.
"It seems that this machine controls the door of every room here, and it just doesn't know where Li Ruina is." Cui Li said on the side.
"Damn!" I slapped the panel of the controller hard. "Where the hell are you?"
The only voice came from the empty hall.
"We'll definitely find her." Cui Li looked at me anxiously and didn't know what to say to help me.
Suddenly, I heard a very soft voice, and I struggled to distinguish the direction of the voice. But the voice was too soft. "Cui Li, did you hear anything?"
"Like, somebody is shouting." Cui Li lowered his head and listened.
That's right, it's someone shouting. There was only one person in my mind on this floor---- Li Ruina. "Cui Li, hurry up and find the direction of the voice, quick!"
We searched the hall, and the minutes ticked by.
"Seems to be in this room, come here." I sped in the direction of Cui Li's shout.
Sure enough, on the other side of the door, I heard a familiar voice: "I'm here, come and help me!" Probably due to the soundproofing of the door, Li Ruina's voice is very soft.
"We're here, you wait, we'll come and rescue you right away!" I yelled through the door.
"It's so nice to hear you, let me out."
I took a few steps back, then slammed the door hard, but to no avail.
It seems that the only way to open this door is through the controller in the center of the hall.
