Chapter 33: Trapped
"But how did you come upstairs to me so quickly?"
Lin Zhao looked at his watch, but twenty minutes had passed, and it shouldn't have made Lance and the others worry about finding themselves.
"It looks like you've been really dizzy for a long time, and it's 5:32 now."
Lance turned on his phone screen and showed Lin Zhao the time on the screen.
"You haven't come back for almost two hours, and we can't reach you on the walkie-talkie, so we can't rest assured."
Sasha added that she had made up her mind that she didn't want to go to the second floor again, but if she didn't come, she would have to stay, and it was better to do one thing in a group to distract from her fears than to wait quietly and think alone.
"How many cameras have you recovered?"
Lance asked as he took the two cameras that Lin Zhao was carrying on his shoulders, leaving only the one he had been holding in his hand to Lin Zhao.
"Seven sets."
Lin Zhao recalled and shook his backpack.
"There are five in it."
"Enough, we don't want the rest. When we got back to the lobby on the first floor, we waited for Kenny to pick us up, and we didn't go anywhere. ”
Lance nodded and said.
Naturally, everyone had no objections and walked silently to the stairs leading to the first floor.
Just as Lin Zhao at the back of the hall was about to step down the first step, a hand stretched out from the shadows and slowly approached Lin Zhao's back......
Puff –
The black hand froze.
A wooden sword, already worn, pierced into the shadows, and the man holding the sword didn't even look back.
"Destroy ordinary ghosts and reward 1 Yin Qi value."
It was the system prompt sound that gave Lin Zhao the confidence not to look back.
Alas, the ghosts here are quite weak, the kind of weak that has not received any yin qi for several minutes.
You can only survive by killing ghosts.
......
After the group returned to the hall, Houston, who had stayed behind, rushed over.
"Why have you been around for so long? It's been almost an hour! ”
"What?"
Lance was shocked, in his opinion, it was just a few rooms on the second floor and the work of going downstairs, it would not have taken so long.
"It's 6:40!"
Sasha took out her phone and exclaimed as she looked at the numbers on it.
When everyone heard this, their faces changed greatly.
Lin Zhao looked at his watch, and it was only ten minutes since he reunited with the three of Lance.
It seems that the passage of time in this place has gone into question.
Lin Zhao thought to himself, and didn't plan to tell his companion how much time had really passed, on the one hand, he had done a test, and only he could see the time on this watch, and what others saw was still the time displayed on the phone, on the other hand, it wouldn't change anything, because the chaotic time passage in this place was real, and the food would rot with this chaotic time, so it was not a trick.
This watch is probably a reassurance given to me by the system, so that I will not be mentally distracted by the confusion of time.
"It's 6:50."
Houston said sullenly.
"Why don't we just bang the door and get out?"
Matt suggested.
"Something is wrong with this place!"
After opening his mouth, Matt became emotional.
He found a cart placed near the gate and pointed it directly at the gate, apparently preparing to hit the gate directly.
"Wait a little longer, maybe Kenny will be here later."
Lance barely managed to keep his composure.
"Don't count on Kenny, he's already an hour late, now we have to save ourselves!"
Matt yelled.
"If Kenny had come, we'd already be able to get out of this building! As for arguing here? ”
Hearing this, Lance pursed his lips, as if he wanted to persuade him to do something more, but he still didn't say anything, and after a few more seconds, he walked to the other side of the cart.
"Well, you have a point, sitting back is not the way to go."
The others were already inclined to Matt's statement, and after seeing that Lance agreed, they spontaneously pushed the cart.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The door was not secure, and it slammed open in a few clicks, revealing a corridor five or six meters long behind the door.
This hallway, when people come in, just knock open the door at the end of the corridor again, and you can get out of here.
"It worked!"
Matt said happily, and then led the others and rushed to the last door.
Bang!
The door was easily slammed open, and the cart and the people who carried it crossed the gate.
"We can finally leave...... Is it here? ”
Matt shouted in a joyful tone, but only said the first half of the sentence, and the second half gradually turned into a question sentence.
Because, instead of the road outside the building, there was a door that had been ajar open, and a silent hall behind it, and a staircase leading to the second floor.
They opened the door, walked through it, and returned to the beginning once again.
"How so?"
Sasha spoke with a hint of tears.
"The door is gone."
Lance said calmly, but his face was extremely ugly.
Everyone's eyes were cast behind them because of Lance's words.
Behind him, what should have been a door has become a wall.
They have nowhere to go.
Lonely back in the hall, Sasha said in a hoarse voice, "It's 7:54." ”
"There's not even a shimmer of sunshine here."
"It should have been sunrise."
"It's not okay to jump out of the window, it's like being sealed, you can't open it, you can't smash it."
Speaking of the back, Sasha's voice became quieter and quieter, and it evolved into self-talk.
"Maybe it's ghost energy, ghost energy can make time flow faster."
Houston thought for a moment and said.
Although he is a bubbling psychic, he has heard some legends about ghosts after pretending to be for a long time.
"All in all, we're stuck here."
Lance sighed after taking pictures of everyone's demeanor and movements one by one with the camera.
"Emotional fluctuations detected, psionic camera psionic value increases by 37!"
"Emotional fluctuations detected, the psionic camera psionic value increases by 64!"
"Emotional fluctuations detected, psionic camera psionic energy increased by 50!"
"Emotional fluctuations detected, psionic camera psionic energy increased by 76!"
"Emotional fluctuations detected, psionic camera psionic value increases by 1!"
Lin Zhao stayed quietly aside, not participating in the discussion, just silently looking at the balance of spiritual energy that was increasing little by little.
Alas, everyone doesn't want this to happen, understand you, so don't suppress your emotions and release them to your heart's content.
Lin Zhao shouted in his heart, and secretly sent a thoughtful and gentle comfort to the four teammates.
"The main entrance can't get through, why don't we try to go through that underground tunnel?"
Lance proposed.
"But isn't there a wall at the end of the tunnel?"
Houston hasn't forgotten the results of the group's exploration.
"I know, but when we went before, there was no anomaly in this place, Kenny said that the tunnel is rarely accessible to people, and sometimes it becomes like a maze, I was thinking, maybe now is the time for the tunnel to become a maze, a maze is better than no road!"
Lance said what he thought, and everyone hesitated, thinking that this plan was not feasible.
"I remember!"
Matt, who had been silent for a long time, looked up and shouted, as if he had been reminded by Lance's words.
"When I looked at this building today, I saw that there is a fire escape on the roof of this building, and we can go down from the fire tunnel."
