The tall man turned pale and couldn't say anything.

Li Yang pulled me to the elevator: "Let's go, don't worry about them, let's go up and have a look." ”

He pressed the elevator button a few times, but there was no response. A lady next to her said, "Young man, the elevator is broken today and I can't go up." ”

I grass, my heart throbbed a few times. Waving his hand, he said, "Let's go back, I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

Li Yang gritted his teeth and was ruthless: "Let's take the stairs." ”

I was taken aback: "Brother, no." The top floor is 21 floors, and we have to walk up the stairs until midnight. ”

"Walk until midnight." Li Yang glared at me and entered through the side door, which was the staircase passage of the building.

I sighed helplessly, and there was nothing I could do about him, so I had to follow.

When I lived in this building, I never walked up the stairs. Because I lived on the 21st floor of the highest floor at the time, I was in the elevator every day, so I didn't have the concept of taking the stairs at all. When I entered this staircase passage today, I still feel quite fresh.

This building has been in use for more than ten years, the stairwell is peeling off the wall skin, the floor is dirty, the wall is also pasted with various small advertisements for the treatment of venereal diseases, and the corners of each staircase are full of sundries.

The most uncomfortable thing is the floor lamp with induction failure.

In the dark passage of the staircase, you have to kick the floor desperately to light the floor lamp, and the dark yellow light hums softly, sounding like a woman moaning in a corner.

When we walked up one floor, we had to fall into darkness, and Li Yang jumped on the spot a few times before the building lights slowly lit up. The whole process is a great test of a person's mental quality. If it were just me, I wouldn't have left here.

There was silence in the hallway, except for the heavy wheezing and footsteps of the two of us. Since I started working, I have been sitting in the office all year round, lacking physical exercise, and my legs seem to be filled with lead. I don't know how many floors I walked, I was so tired that I was panting, my throat was sweet, and I sat on the ground with my butt and didn't want to move anymore.

Li Yang couldn't breathe either, leaning against the wall, holding his legs with both hands.

"How many floors have you walked?" I asked him.

"You didn't count?" He said.

"Damn, I'm counting on you. I'm tired and confused, and now I can't see anything. ”

Li Yang closed his eyes and thought about it, "Why are there more than a dozen layers?" ”

I pointed to the side door at the corner of the staircase: "You go to the hallway, there is a floor sign on the wall. Li Yang glared at me, calmed down his breath a little, and walked in along the side door.

As soon as he left, the lights in the corridor went out, and it was pitch black all around. This sudden darkness made my heart throb hard. To be honest, I don't look at my usual nonsense, sometimes I am very timid, especially when I am alone.

The darkness in the hallway seemed to be like substance, as if it was flowing slowly, and it enveloped me tightly. My whole body was stiff and I didn't dare to move.

I don't know how long it has been, Li Yang has not returned. Cold sweat broke out on my forehead, and my mind was a jumble of horrible chaotic thoughts—he wasn't going to go away. ...... by this strange building Devoured.

I shouted in a trembling voice, "Li Yang." ”

No one answered. Voices echoed through the stairwell. I didn't have the courage to shout any more, I was terrified to the extreme, my heart was beating faster, and it was as if I was about to break free from my chest. I took a deep breath and slowly stood up against the wall, my legs numb and unable to take a step. Leaning against the wall for a long time before I could move slowly.

At this moment, I don't know if it's an auditory hallucination, and there is a strange chewing sound from upstairs. It's like, a person gnaws something, sucks and chews, and licks his lips, not to mention the fragrance of eating.

This voice is usually nothing to hear. But at this time, it came inexplicably, it sounded weird, and it was particularly abrupt in such a terrifying dark environment.

My heart was in my throat, my joints were stiff, and I couldn't walk even if I wanted to. In my mind, I imagined such a picture, an old lady in red clothes, sitting at the top of the stairs, her gray hair scattered, munching on a chicken leg with relish.

The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and the great fear came like waves, and I was so depressed that I almost cried.

At this moment, the building lights suddenly turned on, and Li Yang walked in through the side door.

In the miserable yellow light, I saw that my posture was very indecent, and the whole person was pressed against the wall, like a gecko.

I slowly took my hand off the wall and saw that there were two handprints left on the dirty wall.

Li Yang's virtue is not as good as mine, his face is as white as paper, and his body is constantly trembling, as if he has been particularly frightened. The two of us looked at each other and didn't speak for a long time, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

I asked in a hoarse voice, "What floor are we on?" ”

"11th floor."

"You ......" we both said at the same time, and then stopped.

Li Yang sighed and said, "I was really scared just now, I almost didn't collapse on the ground." ”

I hurriedly asked what was wrong.

Li Yang said quietly that he went to see the floor sign just now and encountered a strange thing. The design of the building is quite unreasonable, the stairwell we are in is at the easternmost part of the building, and the floor signs are at the westernmost elevator entrance, and if you want to see it, you have to go through the entire corridor.

Li Yang walked in the corridor, the surroundings were quiet, the doors of the houses were closed, and there was no trace of anger on the entire floor, and it was deserted. Li Yang said: At that time, I really had the illusion of walking in the wilderness.

It is not easy to walk through such a corridor alone, and it takes a lot of courage. He came to the elevator entrance, saw the sign "11" on it, breathed a long sigh of relief, and prepared to go back. Just then, he saw an old lady standing in front of a window in the hallway.

The old lady wore a bright red sweater, a bright red hat, and black leggings. If you don't look at that face, she is definitely a beautiful woman with a curvaceous figure.

The face was terrifying, covered with overlapping wrinkles, carved deep into the skin of the face like a knife and axe. Her eyes were completely devoid and looked fake, and the most terrifying thing was her hair. The old woman had gray and white hair, a lifeless color, like a dried corpse.

The old lady was hunched over and doing something unbelievable: she was smoking in front of the window!

The two windows were wide open, and the cold wind of the night blew in, and white snowflakes rolled in. The white hair was clinging to her forehead, and the green smoke from the cigarette butt was wafting on the old face, which looked a little eerie.

On such a strange and terrifying night, in the empty corridor, such an old lady is smoking, and she is not scared to death.

The most important thing is that Li Yang said, I didn't hear the door open at all, why did this old lady suddenly appear out of thin air?

This is also the reason why Li Yang has not come back for a long time. At that time, his mind was blank, and he stood at the end of the corridor and did not dare to take a step forward.

After observing for a while, the old lady did not seem to show any signs of moving, but kept smoking, and her posture did not change.

Li Yang thought about it, there was no way to wait like this, so he walked forward. Getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer, finally came behind the old lady.

The old lady didn't seem to notice at all, didn't even look at him, and still smoked there, her expression cold and gloomy, like a statue in a postmodern style.

Li Yang leaned sideways, cautiously crossed behind her, and trotted all the way back, his back soaked.

My scalp tingled and my heart pounded. I heard the inexplicable chewing sound just now, and imagined the picture of the old lady gnawing on the chicken legs, why did Li Yang really see such an old woman? And this old woman is really wearing a red dress!

I felt like I was caught up in a bottomless undercurrent, where everything happened inexplicably, and when I think about it, there were all kinds of disconnected connections. What the hell is going on?

I suddenly remembered that I had seen a Taoist pamphlet in Li Damin's house before, saying that there was a Taoist method called trapping in the air. This formation is quite mysterious, a bit of a delusional realm, the so-called delusional realm, the delusional realm. Create a false Misty Realm and let cultivators enter this realm and encounter all kinds of things, so that the cultivation mind will not follow the realm and move the great realm in vain. To put it bluntly, everything you see is fake, similar to "The Matrix".

I looked at Li Yang, thinking about being trapped, and suddenly had a strange thought. This Li Yang, is it really Li Yang? Or is he simply something I had come up with in a formation designed by someone else? This thing can't stand scrutiny, I heard the sound of chewing and thought of the old woman in red, and this Li Yang immediately jumped out and told me that he had really seen such an old lady in the corridor!

It's all creepy by coincidence.
