Chapter 24: The Iron Gate
I thought it was a dead end, but I suddenly found that there was a corner ahead, and there was a road after turning the corner.
The feeling of emptiness in his heart was replaced by a new glimmer of hope, and Shi Yuan unconsciously quickened his pace.
He took out the locator and used Yang Chuying's name and her appearance to locate it.
All that was shown on the screen was pitch black.
You can't see anything, so you can't get direct location information.
"It's supposed to be on the eighth floor, right? Can you be sure of that? Shi Yuan asked Luo Yasen and Liu Tong.
"If the hallucinations started before entering the eighth floor, of course there is no way to be sure." "But I think the hallucinations should have started in the stairwell on the eighth floor." โ
Although the conditions are not sufficient, the scope can only be temporarily delineated within the scope of the eighth floor at the moment.
The crowd opened almost all the doors.
When the last door opened, it was completely out of sight.
The rooms I saw before were also different, and most of them had windows, so there would be some light coming in.
But this last room was utterly dark.
What is shown on the locator is likely to be this room.
In this room, Shi Yuan and the others all felt an abnormal aura.
The switch was not found, so it was illuminated by a flashlight.
Inside was an empty room, with an unobstructed view, and in the innermost corner was a closed iron door, apparently locked.
Shi Yuan tried to perceive the scene behind the iron gate, but for some reason, the perception domain completely avoided the door, and also avoided everything in the fan-shaped area behind the door.
It becomes a dead end in the perceptual domain.
What will be there? Is it Yang Chuying, or is it a ghost?
"You guys get out of the room first, and I'll go in alone." Shi Yuan said, taking out the master key.
If they were allowed to be here, their lives would be in danger.
But they didn't excuse themselves, they looked at each other and withdrew.
The master key swirled and the iron door creaked.
Inside, it was darker than the room outside, as black as solid.
With the opening of the iron gate, the blind spot in Shi Yuan's perception domain finally revealed its original face.
"It's ......"
Shi Yuan's scalp was about to explode at that moment. Without hesitation, he turned around at once, slammed the iron door shut, and ran as fast as he could.
Behind the iron door just now, there is a huge room of incalculable size.
In the room, there are dense black shapes, some are humanoid, and some are so strange that it is difficult to make out the shape.
However, no matter what the shape, there is only one possibility.
It was a forbidden door, and behind the door was another world.
It is not the dark world mentioned on the page, but it is not less terrifying.
After running out of the room, Shi Yuan immediately slammed the door shut, without stopping, and continued to run into the distance.
"Run!"
He could feel that the moment he opened the iron door, several black objects had rushed out and followed them.
A disgustingly thick anomalous aura swept over the world, and even people without special abilities could feel the anomaly.
They hadn't heard anything, but they could feel that there were several things behind them, screaming. Moreover, those things moved extremely fast, and launched a merciless pursuit of the living people in front of them.
Wan Yizhu and Lu Tingting both let out bursts of frightened screams, driven by their survival instincts, and ran desperately.
It's a hallway, and although there are many rooms on both sides, no one chooses to go into them.
They ran as fast as they could, and no one dared to slow down even the slightest.
Lu Tingting ran in extreme fright, looked back, and suddenly let out another heart-rending scream.
Behind them, three black, twisted, rotting humanoids were chasing after them, and the mere glance would make them scatter.
"Helpโโ!!!" Lu Tingting screamed with all her strength.
But now, everyone is in a difficult situation, and no one can save her.
A black twisted thing suddenly jumped onto Lu Tingting's shoulder, and two arms like countless snakes were entangled around her head.
"Ahhโโ!!!hh Help me!! Save ......"
Click!
Warm and sweet blood spurted on everyone.
Until the moment when the head rolled off, Lu Tingting was still desperately shouting for help.
This scene made Wan Yizhu, Shen Xunkun and others so frightened that they had reached the extreme speed and improved again.
Wan Yizhu ran at the back of the line, and she was already crying in fright.
"Don't leave me behind...... I don't want to die......"
However, for some reason, none of those ghosts chased her, but passed over her and pounced on the people in front of them.
Wan Yizhu was feeling a moment of confusion, and suddenly saw that one of the black things actually rushed straight towards Xia Yan.
"Mr. Xia!"
Wan Yizhu suddenly burst out with unprecedented speed, and the speed was so fast that Shi Yuan and the others couldn't believe it.
She ran to Xia Yan's side, stretched out her arm, and pushed it to the side.
Next to it was the staircase, and Xia Yan was pushed to lose his balance and rolled down the stairs.
Because of this, the ghost who pounced on him did not pounce on him, but pounced on Wan Yizhu.
"Ahhh!!h
Wan Yizhu was pounced on by the ghost, followed by a sharp and piercing scream.
It was a scream of fear and pain.
The ghost pounced on her without hesitation, turning her into a bloody corpse in the blink of an eye.
But even at the last moment, she was still reading the words "Mr. Xia".
Xia Yan, who had already rolled down to the bottom of the stairs, looked up in amazement and stood up despite the pain on his body, but he seemed to hear a faint whisper.
"Mr. Xia, live well......"
Xia Yan's eyes widened, and he was in a trance for a while, because it was impossible for him to hear such a whisper in such noisy conditions around him.
However, immediately after that, he was grabbed by Shi Yuan's arm and desperately led to the bottom of the stairs.
"Run!"
Xia Yan gritted his teeth, stopped looking at the situation upstairs, and ran downstairs with the others.
Suddenly, he realized something.
Looking back again, he found that there was only one ghost left.
Lu Tingting and Wan Yizhu were killed just now, and the number of ghosts was also reduced by two, is it because ghosts can only kill one person and then disappear themselves?
So, in other words, if one more person dies, the threat of ghosts will disappear?
Xia Yan clenched his teeth, turned his head back, and continued to run quickly.
What if you find out? Let someone else carry it? Who's going to put it on your back?
The rest of the people were all running downward, not knowing how many floors they had reached, and listening to the silent screams and strange footsteps from above, everyone's hearts became heavier and heavier.
