The road ahead was thorny and bumpy, but there was no turning back.

I walked up the stairs to the sixth floor, but I still had the image of the lion attacking Summer City in my mind.

"This is the sixth floor, right? But why is the light so dim? Zhao Yuyu glanced at the sixth-floor building.

The light on the sixth floor was very dim, although it was not as dark as the third floor, but the slight light made people feel more frightening.

"Cheng Yin, what's going on? Why does it look so scary? Cui Li hid behind me.

He was proud just now, but now he is like a frightened squirrel.

"Be careful, don't move around or touch anything." Xia Cheng walked at the front of the line, and a 'squeak' sound came from the loose floor.

"Isn't this building new? Why does this floor look so old? Lin Yun said vigilantly.

The light on the walkway flickered on and off, and we walked cautiously forward. In the lens of the aisle, there was a huge mirror, and when Cui Li saw the mirror, he suddenly shouted in panic, but Zhao Yuyu next to him was startled by him: "Cui Li, what are you calling blindly, isn't it just a mirror!" ”

"Thousand, thousand, don't look at that mirror, or you'll probably see the sixth person." Cui Li was obviously influenced by the "Ghost" Apartment. The mirror in this hallway is indeed very similar to the plot in "Ghost" Apartment, but this should only be a coincidence.

"Really! There really are six of them! I looked in the mirror and said nervously.

Cui Li was even more frightened and hid behind Xia Cheng, "Cheng Yin, didn't I tell you not to look at it, don't look at it, sure enough, there is a sixth person!" ”

Xia Cheng patted Cui Li behind him, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Cheng Yin is playing with you, there are six of us." ”

Cui Li looked at us around and counted softly: "Cheng Yin, Xia Cheng, Zhao Haoyu, Lin Yun, Zhang Han......" He paused for a moment and realized that he hadn't counted himself. "I actually forgot about myself, well, maybe I was too nervous."

"Cui Li, you are so timid, a mirror scares you like this." Zhao Yuyu said with a disdainful face.

"Zhao Yuyu, don't talk about him, if you see the way he looks when he watches a horror movie, you will know that this reaction is nothing at all."

Cui Li touched my shoulder and whispered in my ear, "Cheng Yin, don't talk about it." ”

I nodded, and didn't continue.

"Okay, okay, it's okay, let's keep going." Xia Cheng said, continuing to lead the team forward.

Soon we came to a hall, which was not much brighter than the hallway, and in the center was a large round table with a worn cloth on it.

"Don't look around, let's hurry through this hall." But just as Xia Cheng was speaking, suddenly the lights in the hall became brighter, and many people appeared in front of us. The original shabby cloth has also become extremely delicate, and there are many exquisite delicacies on it, and cheerful music is heard in the ears, as if a grand banquet is being held.

"What's going on?" Cui Li looked at everything that was happening around him in a panic.

Xia Cheng continued to walk forward very calmly, as if he didn't care about everything that was happening around him.

"Keep walking, don't stop, these are just illusions, just to stop you."

I hesitated for a moment and said loudly, "Xia Cheng is right, everyone go quickly." There is hypnotic gas in this hall, and if you stay a little longer, you may never be able to get out. ”

"Hypnotic gas? Hurry up and cover your nose and get out of here. Lin Yun blocked his hand in front of him and continued to walk forward.

In this way, everyone quickened their pace and walked quickly through the hall. After leaving the hall, everyone put down their hands covering their mouths and noses.

"Damn, it's so bad! It's a good thing that Xia Cheng found out early, otherwise we would all have to stay in that hall. Cui Li said in shock.

We came to another hallway, which was slightly different from the previous one, with all kinds of decorations hanging on the walls and a thick carpet on the originally loose floor.

"If I'm guessing correctly, going through this hallway should be a staircase to the next floor." Xia Cheng looked at the end of the corridor and speculated.

"So what are we waiting for? Let's go! It's so horrible here, my hairs stand on end! Cui Li urged everyone to hurry up.

Just as we were about to move on, suddenly the door to the previous hall opened, and a large group of "ghosts" ran out of it.

"Holy! What's this again?! How can there still be "ghosts"! Cui Li was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

"Cui Li, you are too bold, didn't Xia Cheng say everything, these are all illusions, they are all used to scare us. Are you scared like this? ”

The "ghosts" flickered on and flickered towards us.

I suddenly felt that these "ghosts" were not the same as what we had seen in the hall before, and I always felt that something was not right, but I couldn't tell what it was.

"yes, that's all an illusion." Cui Li stood up calmly and said, "I'm not afraid, it's just that I accidentally fell." ”

But I noticed that Xia Cheng's expression suddenly changed, "Everyone, don't be stunned there, hurry up and run towards the other end of the corridor!" These aren't "ghosts", but they're not all illusions! ”

What is not a "ghost" and not an illusion? Xia Cheng, why do you say that the preface doesn't match the afterword, do you want to say that these "ghosts" are real? Cui Li asked suspiciously.

I don't know what Xia Cheng is talking about, but I'm sure it's not easy, and if we stay here and don't move, the consequences will be terrible.

"Run, everybody! Either way, it's always a good idea to get to the top of the stairs as soon as possible! I shouted.

So we ran as hard as we could, while the "ghosts" kept chasing after us, and the scene really looked a bit like a horror movie.

"Why is this corridor so long? I can't even run. ”

It's not just Cui Li who said this, Lin Yun obviously can't run anymore.

"Can't stop, never stop!" Xia Cheng shouted.

In this way, each of us used almost all our strength to run to the top of the stairs. Looking back, the "ghosts" were nowhere to be found, as if they had never been there.

June 2, 2022 at 09:46 AM

"I can't even walk anymore, those in Xia Cheng are just virtual influences, why did they let us run like this?" Cui Li gasped and said.

"As I said before, these 'ghosts' are not entirely fake. Xia Cheng said and lifted the carpet, "You see, the corridor we passed through before was obviously made of wood, but why is there a thick carpet here?" In fact, the reason is very simple, in order to cover up these conductive devices. ”

Xia Cheng said this, I suddenly remembered that those "ghosts" just now flickered and dimmed, like electricity. It turns out that all this is just to make us let our guard down.

The "ghosts" we just saw are not real, but these "ghosts" are like carpets, covering up the electricity that is coming to us. Once those "ghosts" catch up with us, then we will be hit by electricity, and the consequences can be imagined. Xia Cheng explained.

"So that's the case, this floor is deliberately arranged so horribly, just to distract us, those virtual characters in the hall know at a glance that they are fake, but their real purpose is only to make us stay, and then catch us through hypnotic gas. Once we leave the hall, those "ghosts" are the best way to deceive us, and everything we see in the previous hall can easily mislead us into ignoring the existence of those "ghosts", but what we don't expect is that behind those "ghosts" is a high-voltage electric current, which is really subtle. I said with a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, Xia Cheng found it early, this link is too scary." Cui Li said.

We finally passed the sixth floor, the staircase that appeared in front of us led to the seventh floor, and a new challenge was placed in front of us, and the difficulties faced by each floor were almost doubled, and the mechanism of the seventh floor must not be underestimated, and if there was a little negligence, we would all be wiped out, let alone save Li Ruina, and all of us would become victims.

We walked up the stairs to the seventh floor, everyone's expressions became very nervous, and everyone knew that this rescue operation was not as easy as imagined, and that if we were not careful, we would lose our lives at any time, and what made us feel even more terrifying was that so far we didn't even know where the enemy was, how many people there were.

We walked up the stairs, and seven floors unfolded in front of us.

"Everyone be ready, don't be careless, every step will be very dangerous now." Summer City is a warning to us.

The seven-story building was different from the six-story building just now, it was brightly lit, it was just an extremely ordinary hall, it didn't look like there was any danger, and it didn't look like there was any mechanism.

"You see, there's nothing wrong with this floor." Cui Li obviously forgot the previous lesson again.

"Don't be careless, the more you don't seem to be in danger, the closer it is to you." Xia Cheng didn't let his guard down in the slightest.

"Xia Cheng is right, it's better for us to be careful." Lin Yun agreed.

Xia Cheng walked carefully into the seven-story hall, and everything seemed to be fine.

"You see, there's no problem here, it looks like we're thinking too much." Cui Li walked around the hall as if there was really nothing going on.

It was at this time that suddenly there was the sound of beautiful music.

"We have walked through everything, and we have forgotten everything..."

Zhao Haoyu frowned and said, "Zhang Han, can you turn off your music quietly, it's annoying enough." ”

Zhang Han unhurriedly took off the headphones he was wearing and shook them in front of us, obviously the music we heard was not coming from Zhang Han's headphones.

"This music doesn't come out of your headphones, where did it come from?" Cui Li asked.

Apparently the music came from this hall.

"Everyone, be quiet, this music won't play for no reason, it must be something very organizing." Xia Cheng said.

"Organs? What organs? Isn't this just an ordinary song? What could be the problem? Cui Li asked puzzled.

"We have walked through everything, and we have forgotten everything..."

"Who can forget our years."

Suddenly there was music in our ears, but nothing else.

"What the hell is going on with all this music?" Zhao Haoyu asked.

"At the moment, there is nothing special about these music, just some ordinary songs, but you can't let your guard down." Xia Cheng watched the situation around him vigilantly.

"Isn't it just some ordinary music? What's there to fuss about? You see the stairs are at the other end of the hall, why don't we just walk straight to it? Whatever music he plays! Cui Li said casually.

"Cui Li, don't move yet, the current situation is still unclear." Xia Cheng reminded Cui Li.

But Cui Li didn't care about Xia Cheng's reminder, and swaggered towards the corridor opposite the hall. But at this moment, the unexpected happened. The left and right walls of the hall suddenly began to move slowly.

"Look! The walls are moving! We've got to get out of here quickly, or we're going to get crushed!" Zhao Yuyu shouted loudly in panic.

But the more we moved, the faster the two walls advanced, and the hall was suddenly the width of a corridor.

"Don't move, everyone! Something must be wrong. If we continue like this, we won't have time to reach the hallway, and this wall will crush us! I shouted.

In this way, everyone stopped in place, but what they didn't expect was that the two walls also stopped moving. The music in the hall continued, "The road of time stretches ahead, the fallen leaves pave the way, but the memory cannot forget the direction traveled." ”

"What the hell is going on? Why do we move as soon as we move the two walls? In that case, wouldn't we never be able to get to the top of the stairs? Cui Li said desperately.

The situation is very dangerous now, if we don't find the reason for the wall movement as soon as possible, then we are in danger of being pinched at any time, but we can't move, we can't look for other clues, everything is full of dangers for us, and we may lose our lives at any time.
