With a chilling conclusion, the BLU's exploration on the first floor came to an end. Next they were going to the second floor.

This time, when going upstairs, it was still Xia Qingyang who took the lead, Xiao Xiao and Zheng Qingan were in the middle, and Lao Zhang was at the end.

The light on the second floor is even darker than the first floor.

The moment he stepped on the stairs, Xia Qingyang raised the flashlight and shone it up. It was found that the light of the flashlight was not enough to penetrate the darkness to reach the second floor, and only half of the staircase could illuminate, and it was still dark above.

She reminded her teammates behind her to watch their feet, then held up her flashlight and began to walk up.

"Can you slow down, it's so dark." Zheng Qingan couldn't help but ask.

Xia Qingyang stopped and waited for them.

"By the way, do you think it's strange?" Xiao Xiao looked up and asked, "It's been more than an hour since we came in, right?" As a result, not only did I not meet anyone from the other team, but I didn't even hear their voices at all. ”

Lao Zhang was a little weak, and couldn't help but shine a flashlight back: "Don't, don't say it so scary, it may be far away." ”

Xiao Xiao: "Well, that's right. From the outside, the house is about three or four stories high. We started from the first floor, maybe they started from the top floor. ”

Xia Qingyang said, "No." Even if it's far away, it shouldn't be so quiet. ”

She knocked on the wall with her hand and stomped her foot again: "The walls here are not soundproof, the furniture is mostly wooden, and so is the floor. So if the other team makes a sound, we should be able to hear it. Unless they haven't shouted since they came in. ”

"How can you not shout, the four over there are all girls, and the props are so scary." Zheng Qing'an muttered.

Xia Qingyang took the flashlight and shone it up again: "In addition, have you counted, how many steps have we walked after stepping on this staircase?" ”

The three of them looked at each other in the dim light: "I don't count, I just think it seems to be quite a lot." Did you count? ”

"This is the twenty-second order." Xia Qingyang Road.

"Impossible." Xiao Xiao blurted out with some astonishment, "Judging from the horizontal size of this house, the steps on the first floor cannot be that long at all, at most eleven or twelve steps." ”

And from their current position, there are still dark stairs above, and there is no trace of a corner at all.

Isn't there no end to this staircase?!

"What to do." Xia Qingyang held a flashlight and looked at the three teammates, "Do you want to go up?" ”

"Shall we go back to the first floor first?" Zheng Qing'an was a little weak by what they said.

Lao Zhang immediately agreed: "I agree." ”

However, after taking a few deep breaths, Xiao Xiao calmed down: "Wait, don't worry, this must be a deliberate setting by the program team, just to scare us." ”

Zheng Qing'an: "Then how to explain the length of this staircase?" ”

"Stair length...... By the way, if the staircase is spirally curved, it is possible to make such an effect. Xiao Xiao is worthy of being the light of brain power among the guests, and immediately thought of a reasonable explanation.

He gestured with his hands to explain to his teammates: "The environment is very dark at the moment, and there are no reference objects around, so it is normal for us to not be able to judge the curvature of the stairs." The program team should have taken advantage of this and made the stairs spiral upward, making us feel as if we couldn't go to the end. ”

"Oh......" Zheng Qing'an and Lao Zhang listened to this more scientific explanation, and their faces softened a lot.

Xia Qingyang also nodded slightly: "It makes sense." ”

"So, as long as we keep going up, we will definitely be able to get to the end and break their game." Xiao Xiao realized that this was probably the highlight of his current issue, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was correct, and the more he said it, the more confident he became, and even some eyebrows danced, "It's okay, anyway, this is not a real haunted house, how can there be any supernatural events, don't scare yourself." ”

Lao Zhang and Zheng Qingan thought for a while, yes, this is a variety show, can there really be any events that can't be explained? Moreover, the program team of "Ming Detective" has always been very willing to spend money on the set, and this time it is estimated that there will be no less venues.

After thinking about it like this, the two of them felt a lot more relieved.

Xia Qingyang: "Xiao Xiao is right, then let's not delay time, let's go up." ”

The four of them calmed down and continued to walk up.

This time, the pace of the four was much faster.

And because they were a little apprehensive in their hearts, they couldn't help but count the number of steps in their hearts.

“…… Eighty-five, eighty-six...... I said, isn't it a little strange, guys? ”

After climbing for a few minutes, Lao Zhang couldn't help but speak a little breathlessly: "Even if this staircase is spiral, and you can't find fault with the horizontal distance, then this height is almost seven or eight floors...... Is this house that tall. ”

After Lao Zhang finished speaking, several people stopped and looked at each other.

In the end, everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Xiao, expecting him to give an explanation.

"This ......" Xiao Xiao couldn't think of any reason for a while.

However, one wave has not settled, and another wave has risen.

With a flicker of light, the flashlight in Xia Qingyang's hand went out.

The already dull light suddenly dimmed a lot - the blue fluorescent stripes on the four of them became more conspicuous and bright because of the darkness.

"It looks like it's out of power." Xia Qingyang checked it and reluctantly came to a conclusion.

Zheng Qing'an: "Isn't it, at this time? So what do we do next? ”

All four fell silent.

The excitement of finding an important clue on the first floor has been worn away by the never-ending staircase.

Is this really a staircase that you can never walk out?

"Could it be a ghost hitting the wall?" After a while, Lao Zhang weakly put forward an idea, "Could it be that the 'things' in this house don't want us to go up to the second floor, so they deliberately asked us to go around in circles here?" ”

How is it possible, what the hell is there, it is just a story made up by the program team.

Xiao Xiao subconsciously wanted to deny this idea that was not materialistic at all, but he couldn't explain the problem of the height of the stairs, so he just opened his mouth and didn't say anything.

Xia Qingyang took everyone's expressions into his eyes: "That's it, let's go back now." It just so happened that my flashlight was out of power, and if I walked back, it was Lao Zhang who walked first with the flashlight. We'll figure it out when we get back to the first floor. ”

"I agree." Lao Zhang, a national first-class drum performance master, immediately expressed his approval.

Zheng Qing'an: "I also agree. ”

This three to one, Xiao Xiao couldn't say anything, he could only convince himself: "Okay, maybe this staircase is not the right way, maybe there are other ways to lead to the second floor." ”

The four of them agreed, and walked back.

Soon, they had gone down eighty-six steps.

When he saw that there were still endless steps as far as the eye could see, there was no familiar wooden floor, and there was no sign of reaching the flat ground, Lao Zhang was completely panicked.
