Chapter 55: Fairy Tale Forest (1) Enter
I opened the door, stunned by what I saw. Before opening the door, I thought I had prepared myself enough, but the Endless Room is a place that is always full of surprises, and I didn't expect that opening the door would usher in such a scene.
Outside the door is a completely horror movie scene, a dark dense forest, no sunlight can be seen, dead trees stand one after another, no leaves, just crumpled trunks and bare branches, at first glance it looks like a staggered arrangement of figures. The scorched black earth was overgrown with thorns, a gray mist filled the airless scene, and there seemed to be faint crows in the distance, and the cold wind gusted, making a screaming sound when it blew over the branches.
And the most striking thing is an incomparably huge tree, which is so huge that it would take a hundred people to surround it. I tried to look up, but I couldn't see how tall it really was, the trunk seemed to stretch out and sink into the clouds. Countless overlapping branches of the trees intersect in the sky, even giving people the feeling of obscuring the sky and the sun, blocking all the light, leaving only the world blocked in shadow.
Do you really have to go in? No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a good place, does it?
I swallowed and raised my hand to grip the wolf tooth pendant on my chest. The scene in front of me was completely beyond my prediction, shattering all the possibilities I had ever thought of, and it was so strange that I didn't even have the courage to set foot for a while.
However, I can't never go out of the room, after all, if I don't rely on the method of opening and closing the door to the mirror room to refresh things, the materials in the room will not keep me alive. So I had to walk into this weird room.
Taking a deep breath to cheer myself up, I let go of the wolf tooth pendant and tugged at the bag of my backpack and walked out the door.
The backpack I had dug out of my home contained a few fruit knives that I had refreshed through the mirrored room, some snacks, three bottles of water, and a small amount of medicine — mostly band-aids and expired. Hey, it's better to talk than nothing, and it's better than nothing.
I'm not sure if I'll be able to bring these things into this room, but when I walked through the door with the backpack strap still in my hand, I knew I had managed to get some initial supplies.
The moment I walked through the door, other people suddenly appeared around me, as if they appeared out of thin air, without warning at all. This really startled me, and I hurriedly looked around, and found that the two people who were closer to me were Wolf Tooth and Lin Ya.
"Wolf Fang! Forest Cliff! ”
Encountering such strange things in such a terrifying and unfamiliar environment, even if I pride myself on being quite bold, I am eager to find something familiar to ease my mood and increase my sense of security. Therefore, when he saw the familiar two, he subconsciously screamed, and quickly looked at the two of them, and leaned over to the two after making sure that they did not behave strangely.
"Ah, don't leave." Lin Ya heard me call him, opened his mouth and responded to me, and at the same time turned to look as if he was looking for something.
What to look for behind him? That's right behind you! Door!
After realizing what Lin Ya was looking for, I also subconsciously looked back behind me only to find that there was no shadow of any door behind me at all. Come to think of it, I had just come out of the door and saw other people, and if they had come here from the door of their room like me, then their doors would have been behind them, and yet I didn't see the door behind anyone.
"Don't look for it, here, the door you entered doesn't exist." The voice of the wolf's tooth came into my ears, I followed the sound to look at him, I haven't seen him for seven days, he hasn't changed much, he still has a cold face with paralyzed facial features, but I always feel that his eyes looking at me are more than I remember? Well, I guess it's just my delusion. What did he just say? It doesn't exist, but the door to my room in the last room is clearly there.
As if guessing what I was thinking, before I could ask, Wolf Fang explained, "Every room here is different, the last time you were able to find the room you walked out of was because the last room was built according to the area centered on each person, and this time the environment is obviously not taken from you, so the door that allows you to enter here is also non-existent." To put it simply, the last room was actually everyone's room, so there was a door for everyone, but that door was different from the one you walked through when you walked in. ”
"You guys?" I sensitively grasped the words in Wolffang's words, the "you" in his mouth, naturally, did not include himself, and there was no area centered on him in the previous room, so "Then how did you get here?" Isn't it through the door? I only remembered that I thought it was strange seven days ago, but then I forgot to ask you. Because you're not new, you're different from us, so there's no area for you. This setting seems reasonable, but in fact, even if you're not a newcomer, you should follow the rules of the endless room, right? Why were you different from us in the last room? ”
"I didn't get here through a door, I teleported here, and I didn't have the same door as you." Wolf Fang replied absent-mindedly, turning his head to look around, as if to observe his surroundings.
"Don't have the same door as us? But isn't our door the door to our own room? I didn't understand what the wolf's fangs meant, and asked, "How could you not have your own door?" ”
"No is nothing, does that matter? You should focus on the room you are in now, not on interrogating me. Wolf Fang glanced at me, his voice slightly cold, "If I knew everything, I wouldn't have to be trapped here, and I wouldn't be obligated to satisfy your curiosity." ”
I could clearly sense his displeasure from Wolffang's words, although I didn't mean to question him, I just wanted to know more about the different rules of the room. Apparently he didn't think so, and saw my inquiry as a violation for the sake of my personal safety, and I felt I should shut up.
But isn't this a little too stingy? Didn't you just ask him a few questions? Why is he so angry? Be careful
"Hey, okay, you two, we've just met." Lin Ya played a round on the side, "No matter how you say it, you have lived and died together, and this room has to be faced together." Mo Li, have you rested well these days? ”
"Ah, it's fine."
I didn't want to entangle with the cautious goods of the wolf tooth, so I agreed to Lin Ya's words, and also turned around to observe the current situation. Focusing on a few other strangers who also appeared in this room, he counted them, and there were five people in total.
It looks like the five people on the other side know each other, but they don't look like a whole team. It was three men and two women, although it seemed that me, Wolf Tooth, and Lin Ya were together, and the five of them were together, but in fact, the division of the small gang between the five of them could also be clearly seen - two girls, a man and a woman, and a man were scattered in three places and stood.
A waist-length baby-faced girl with waist-length hair and another girl who looked a little introverted and shy stood together, and the two looked to be about twenty years old, while the long-haired baby-faced girl was raising her hand to pin the hair that had fallen from the side of her face behind her ear, comforting the introverted girl who seemed to be a little scared.
A girl with short hair is with another boy, the girl is still wearing heavy makeup in this case, because of the makeup, I can't see the specific age, but it shouldn't be too big, at this time she can't see the worried look at all is talking to the boy, and the boy looks very ordinary, looking a little thin boy together, he is obediently listening to the words of the short-haired girl, and smiles cooperatively.
And the remaining man is a little different, although he is just standing there quietly alone, and he does not do anything special, but it does not let people ignore his existence because of his low profile. The first time I saw him, I had the feeling of seeing another wolf's fang, the two of them did not have anything in common in appearance, but they both had an aura that could not be ignored. People can intuitively feel that both of them seem to be the kind of strong people who don't allow others to be disobedient.
It's just that this man is really a little weird, not just referring to his own unique temperament, but he himself can see something unusual. His height looks about the same as Lin Ya, but his figure is completely different from Wolf Tooth and Lin Ya. Wolf Tooth and Lin Ya are both relatively robust types, and the curves of muscles can be easily seen on the body, while the man has no muscles, although it does not make people feel thin, but it definitely can't match the strong or anything. However, although he is a little thin, the white shirt, black suit pants and leather shoes he wears are very suitable for him, and his temperament is perfectly set off, but it is not practical in this environment.
He has an angular chin, thin lips, a pair of gold-wire glasses on the bridge of his high nose, a pair of small and slightly drooping eyes, thin eyebrows, but the eyebrow shape gives people a very sharp feeling. And the most bizarre thing is that his hair, not black, but a grayish color. Generally, this kind of hair color is only available to older people, but looking at his appearance, he should not be thirty years old, and I don't know if it is dyed hair.
At this point, he was squinting slightly, watching us from behind his glasses. I was slightly stunned when I met his gaze, but he didn't seem to dodge me at all, and finally I looked away in some panic and embarrassment, and touched my nose in disguise - after all, I wasn't very used to looking at people.
"Hmph"
A cold snort sounded in my ears, and I followed the sound only to find that the wolffang was staring in the direction of the man. It can't be that these two people are looking at each other again, right?
I turned my head to look, and as I expected, the two of them were staring at each other in a stalemate, and they seemed to be able to see the sparks flickering between their eyes.
I secretly screamed bad, these two people have similar aura, obviously they are strong and unwilling to back down, especially this one next to me, he is an intermittent mania, he won't just start fighting without saying a word, right?
I watched nervously at the two of them, my brain racing, looking for a way to end their rivalry.
