Chapter 39: The Forest
Shuitian Building has four basement floors, a non-existent floor, how to get there? Li Erpang didn't mention how anxious he was, after all, the person who sent the distress letter was paying attention to the novel he published on the trickery forum, and he was also his own fan, how could he ignore a fan's plea for help, but the distress signal was sent from a non-existent floor, and there was not much time left for them.
"Fatty, don't worry." Bai Hao looked at the anxious look on Li Erpang's face, "The ghost can still send us a distress letter, which means that its soul still exists, although the power of the soul will become smaller and smaller after a long time, but it will take a long time for the soul to disappear completely."
"I finally got a fan." Li Erpang smirked, "Lao Bai, do you know, every time we escape from death, I will record what happened, and then post it on the forum, the reason why I do this is that I am afraid that one day I will really be killed by a ghost, I think if there is really that day, this post can also record what happened to us, record that I once lived in this world."
"Fatty, when did you become so sad." Xia Ying glanced at Li Erpang, "Don't worry, Lao Bai will definitely find a way to rescue this mysterious sender."
Bai Hao looked at the empty floor: "I have a bold guess, if we are born in illusion, then the mysterious person who sent the email, he is also very likely to have been in the illusion like us before his death, if this is the case, maybe we can find the non-existent floor."
"You mean......" Xia Ying pondered for a while, "are you saying that only people who have been tricked by illusion can see it, or can they reach the non-existent underground minus four floors?" ”
After Li Erpang heard this, he was a little surprised, but it was not like before, after all, he had experienced so many supernatural events, and he also had a good ability to accept some magical things.
Bai Hao pressed the button of the elevator and said to Xia Ying and Li Erfat: "Let's go, when you get to the elevator, you will know if you can reach the floor that does not exist."
"Ding ......" The door of the elevator slowly opened, and the group walked in.
After entering the elevator, Bai Hao saw at a glance that it was different from before, the floor button in the elevator had a few more floors, and the bottom button had four underground floors.
"There's really this floor!" Li Erpang sighed.
"Hey." Xia Ying couldn't be happy at this time, "This also shows that we really fell for the illusion, which means that we are now in the illusion world."
Where did Li Erpang know what the illusion meant, he was thinking about rescuing the ghost who sent him a distress message now.
The elevator slid all the way down, and in less than a minute, it stopped at the minus four floors underground.
The door of the "Ding ......" elevator slowly opened, and the non-existent underground minus four floors finally arrived.
It was pitch black on the basement four floors of the Shuitian Building, and Bai Hao and his party could only see part of the floor with the help of the light emitted from the elevator, but after they left the elevator, the elevator door was closed.
"Old white." Li Erpang shouted in the dark, he tried to press the door button of the elevator behind him, but just as he reached out to find the elevator button in the dark, a pair of cold hands suddenly pulled him into the dark abyss.
"Ahh There was a scream in the darkness, and then Li Erpang felt as if his mouth was blocked by something, and he couldn't speak anymore.
Am I going to die? Li Erpang was desperate, it was the first time he had experienced this kind of despair, the previous ghost in the bedroom and the skull curse were the two supernatural things that fortunately had Bai Hao there, but this time in the dark, he knew that Bai Hao could no longer save himself.
Li Erpang kept struggling, he wanted to break free from the mysterious power that dragged his body, if he had given up normally, but this time it was different, the difference was that he hadn't rescued the ghost who asked for help, the fan who likes to read his novels, although the other party is now dead and has become a ghost, but he feels in his heart that whether it is a person or a ghost, as long as he reads his novel, it is his own fan.
"Ahh Li Erpang exerted his strength to eat, he didn't want to admit defeat at this time, because admitting defeat meant that he was about to die, "Your fat grandfather will fight with you today!" ”
A fire lit up in the darkness, Bai Hao lit a yellow rune paper, he saw Xia Ying beside him, and then found that the second fat man was gone.
"Xia Ying." Bai Hao looked at the rune paper in his hand that was about to burn out, "Help me hold this rune paper first."
Xia Ying hurriedly took the rune paper from Bai Hao's hand, and he looked at the darkness around him: "It seems that the fat man is missing."
"We're going to hurry." Bai Hao took out the candlestick with a candle from the backpack he was carrying, "Help me light it first, the fat man's situation is very dangerous, before rescuing the mysterious mail sender, let's see if we can rescue the fat man."
Xia Ying lit the candlestick in Bai Hao's hand: "The scream we heard just now may have come from the fat man."
The candle flame lit up the surroundings, Bai Hao saw the surrounding environment a little clearly, he found that he and Xia Ying were in a forest at this time, surrounded by tall trees, the dark clouds in the sky completely obscured the moonlight, if there was no light from the candle flame, it would be difficult to see everything around clearly.
A gust of wind blew, and from time to time there were black shadows flashing in the forest, Bai Hao and Xia Ying walked along the path in the forest, and from time to time they could hear some strange sounds.
"It should be in this direction." Bai Hao took Xia Ying's hand, and the two didn't know how long they had been running.
"There's no going wrong." Xia Ying looked at Bai Hao's back running in front of her, "The fat man's voice just now came from here."
"Are you here looking for someone?"
Bai Hao and Xia Ying both stopped, they looked in the direction of the sound, and found that under the light of the candlelight, a man in a suit was standing straight aside.
"Hao ......"
"Behind me." Before Xia Ying finished speaking, Bai Hao protected her behind him.
The reason why Bai Hao was so nervous was because he saw the man in the suit under the candlelight, and he didn't even have a shadow, which showed that he was actually a ghost!
"Don't be nervous." The man in the suit looked at Bai Hao and Xia Ying, "You should be new here, I see that you seem to be looking for someone, maybe I can help you."
New to the new arrival? What is the meaning? Bai Hao was a little curious.
"We're looking for a fat man, have you seen that?" Xia Ying asked the man in the suit.
"This ......," the man in the suit thought for a moment, "I really haven't seen this, you can go a little further, there is a village there, and the people there may know."
Listening to the words of the man in the suit, Bai Hao felt more and more strange, he even wondered if he was now on the fourth floor of the basement of the Shuitian Building, he always felt that after the elevator door opened, their group came to a strange place, as for what the man in the suit said, you should be new, what is the meaning of this sentence?
Xia Ying patted Bai Hao's back and said softly: "Don't you think it's strange, is the real appearance of the negative fourth floor of the Shuitian Mansion a forest?" ”
"Now it's only one step at a time." Bai Hao whispered to Xia Ying, "I can't tell if this is an illusion or not, maybe when we get out of the elevator, we have already entered another space."
Bai Hao looked at the man in the suit in front of him: "Can you help us lead the way?" It's our first time here."
The man in the suit smiled and said, "I'm happy to help you, I think when I came here before, it was also the kind people in the village who helped me, and you will adapt to life here in the future, believe me, you will definitely like it here."
"Of course." Bai Hao smiled helplessly, "Then please lead the way in front."
The light from the candle flame flickered in the forest, the man in the suit led the way, Bai Hao and Xia Ying followed behind him, and it didn't take long for them to see a bright light in the woods not far away.
"It's almost there." The man in the suit quickened his pace, "Please pay attention to your steps for the rest of the journey."
Bai Hao and Xia Ying followed behind the man in the suit, and after he said this, they subconsciously looked at their feet.
What's going on!?
Bai Hao and Xia Ying were both startled by the sight in front of them, and just as they looked at their feet, they found that their shadows were gone!
How could the shadow be gone?
Bai Hao and Xia Ying glanced at each other, and the eyes of both of them revealed a look of surprise, but when the two of them came back to their senses, the man in the suit who walked in front of them disappeared.
At this moment, they were standing at the entrance of the village, almost every house in the village was lit up, looking at the brightly lit village, Bai Hao and Xia Ying walked in slowly, and when they entered the village, they ignored a few red words on the stone tablet at the door.
'Glen Village'
In the dark, the candlelight reflected a few words on the stone tablet, which looked particularly weird.
A black figure flashed through the forest, dragging a chubby body and running fast.
"Why is this guy so strong?" Li Erpang muttered to himself. At first, he struggled to resist the opponent, but later he realized that the opponent's strength was too strong, so he gave up resisting.
Li Erpang will get used to it, because the force behind him has been dragging him for a long time, so he thinks that the other party should not kill him so soon, he thought to himself, just got out of the elevator This series of strange events happened, this must be related to the negative fourth floor of the Shuitian Building, but he didn't know where he would be dragged by the force behind him, and now all he could do was wait.
