Chapter 104: Exploring the Stairwell for the First Time
This scene, in the eyes of players, is undoubtedly a surprise!
It's like a birthday present that has been hidden for a long time, and when you finally know what it is, it's exciting.
The 087 stairwell, which has been paved for so long, is said to be mysterious and mysterious.
Now, at last, it's the tip of the iceberg!
As for horror?
No!
Players are now more curious than afraid!
At this time, in front of the screen, their eyes widened one by one, staring straight at the screen.
I just want to know what kind of strange ability this stairwell possesses that can make such a behemoth as the Control Bureau treat it so carefully!
In the film, because of the video perspective.
The whole environment is dark and dim.
Directly ahead, there is a narrow passage that seems to only fit two people.
To the left and right, there are high erected walls.
Further on, there is a stone staircase that descends.
At this time, in the picture.
Even a 75-watt searchlight can't see 3 meters away.
The light of a searchlight that could have illuminated the surrounding area for tens of meters was as dim as a small flashlight at this moment.
In this eerie stairwell, light and sight distance are restricted!
No, there must be something blocking the view and the light!
Inside 087... What is it...?
[Multimedia Classroom... I get it... I understand... It's the terrain! It is an abnormality of ■■■! ]
[space of this place ■■■■■! ] I came in from the 2nd floor location, but it looks like there's more than two floors...]
[Doctor, you'd better know what you're doing!] You don't let geographers and architects come in to assist in the research, but choose me, what the hell do you want to do!? ]
In the video, the question of the man in orange sounded.
His voice echoed in the dead and narrow passage.
It gives players in front of the screen the feeling of hearing other people's loud noises in the quiet library.
But more than that, it's the resurgence of the black block.
Obviously, that's another piece of critical information.
What the hell is wrong with the space here? What did the man in orange say?
Why are subtitles coded?
Why is the sound muted?
Did you say something terrible?
The players are extremely curious.
Terrain...
What's wrong with the terrain...!?
At this time, due to unknown circumstances, the viewing distance in the video is forcibly limited, and players can only see the range of searchlights within 3 meters.
Other than that, nothing is to be seen.
Soon, the doctor spoke.
[D-8432, please do your duty and don't make pointless jokes.] Now, I need you to take a preliminary look at the walls of this passage. ]
[Wall...]
As soon as the camera is raised, under the direct light of the searchlight, you can see that the walls on both sides are not smooth, and the signs of cement are clearly visible.
And the dust is wafting and the smoke is filled.
There are inexplicable stains everywhere that are unevenly distributed.
The whole environment is lifeless and lifeless under the illumination of the lights.
Coupled with the claustrophobic depressive feeling characteristic of narrow passages.
Let the players in front of the screen have an indescribable suffocation.
It's as if you're in the middle of it, and you're about to face something mysterious and strange at the bottom of the stairs!
In short, it is uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
And fear and fear.
Players who suffer from claustrophobia are probably more severe, right?
At this moment, the players couldn't help but admire this D-class man in orange.
He's in the middle of it, after all.
If you want to put this on hold, I'm afraid you can't give 100 yuan!
In the video, the camera quickly stepped forward and approached the wall.
Then, the hand carrying the searchlight tapped lightly on it.
There was a heavy thump.
Then I touched the wall again, and under the lens and light, my fingers were covered with a thick layer of dust.
[It is a normal concrete wall.] ]
The man in orange spoke softly.
Then, he crouched down and touched the ground, and got the same result.
[This is an earthen embryo house.] ]
The man stood up and looked the camera upwards.
Above, there was a deep darkness.
The searchlight went straight up, but it still stopped at 3 meters.
This makes it impossible to know if there is a top above the channel, or... Infinite Expanse...?
At this point, the doctor's command came again.
[Very good, please go down the stairs.] ]
After hearing this, the camera trembled obviously.
Then, the man in orange seemed to be trying to leave.
[Bo... Doctor, there's clearly a problem here... Even the lights...]
[I said, please go down the stairs.] ]
In the face of the doctor's indifferent order, the man in orange did it with a sigh after hesitating.
As he walks, the camera moves forward.
At the top of the staircase, the orange man's light shone downward.
A 75-watt searchlight can illuminate a range of tens of meters, and only the ninth staircase can be faintly seen at this time.
The 10th one is completely unilluminated and completely submerged in darkness.
[Damn!] ]
The players heard the man in orange whisper a curse and then stepped down the stairs.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded clearly, echoing in the narrow and claustrophobic crowded staircase.
As the camera descends, the 10th staircase, which was originally invisible, also appears in the lighting range.
However, the visual distance of the searchlight remains the same, and the 11th order is still not visible.
In the video, with reverberating footsteps, players follow the camera down the stairs.
After 13 steps, we reached the semicircular platform that turned the corner.
Here, the staircase, which was originally enclosed by two thick earthen walls, appears as a handrail on the way to the next floor.
Soon, the doctor spoke again.
[D-8432, please check over to the armrest.] ]
The man in orange spat and came to the handrail.
In the footage, players can clearly see that this handrail is rusty.
The surface of it has a layer of gray paint, but it has been left for a long time. The lacquer on top has peeled off, revealing the rusted metal inside.
The man in orange shook it with his hand and pressed it with his body.
There are no anomalies.
It looks like an ordinary handrail of a staircase in disrepair.
[D-8432, there are two spare flammable signal rods in the searchlight, please use one and drop it from the handrail to observe the height.] ]
The man in orange had to do so.
He placed the camera and searchlight on the steps of the stairs down and pulled out the signal stick.
Whoop –
With the gentle rubbing of the flame.
The originally dim staircase landing was suddenly illuminated by fire red.
But even then, the range is still small and you can't see far.
Then, the man in orange picked up the camera and went to the handrail of the stairs.
In the middle of the shot, the burning signal stick is dropped.
But to the horror of the players, it was the signal stick that emitted a fiery red glow.
After illuminating the next landing in the process of falling, it is as if it has been swallowed by an abyss.
Disappear completely at the third staircase.
And there was no sound of landing.
[Shet!] Did you see that? Did you see that? If the light doesn't shine far, it may be that there is a problem with the light, but why is this flare gone!? There's a kind of ■■■■■■■■■ in this stairwell! ■■■■■■! Doctor! ]
The man in orange began to roar, terrified of the terrible darkness below.
And the players in front of the screen looked confused again.
The video was put here, the lines were covered by black blocks again, and the sound was muted again.
I don't know what the man in orange said.
However, given that the front part of this video also has black blocks to process important information, players have to accept it although they have objections.
After all, I've seen it before, so what can I do now that it appears?
Is there any other use than to explode the player's curiosity?
But at the end of the day, I'm really curious about what the man in orange said...
And the damn Shimmer never replies to private messages...
The players can only make up for it while watching.
This makes the footage extremely weird and mysterious...
But then again, the operation of the man in orange just now was really shocking.
I thought that no matter how dark and deep the stairwell was, the flare that fell down would change from large to small, and slowly disappear.
But when I only reached the third floor, it was like falling into something, completely gone, and it was extremely abrupt!
Although they knew that the stairwell was anomalous, the players did not see any monsters or bloody scenes.
Only the discovery of this detail is terrifying.
Will...
This stairwell is filled with darkness that engulfs light?
And then the people who are in it... There is a 'safe zone' with a range of 3 meters...?
3 meters away, full of this all-engulfing darkness?
Or rather, from the moment you enter the stairwell.
It's already been swallowed up by darkness...
Maybe that's what the man in orange thought of? And then said it?
So much so that it was coded and muted?
The players were not sure, and they stopped thinking about it and continued to watch.
In the video, the doctor's voice is loud and loud.
[D-8432, forbidden, you are forbidden to make pointless speculations, please put away your unrealistic thoughts and move on.] ]
The orange man made a distinct swallowing sound, then stepped down.
At this time, in the picture.
The stairwell presented to the players is still claustrophobic and cramped.
On the left is a solid wall, and on the right is a rusty handrail.
At the bottom, there is a semicircular platform.
And the steps under your feet, with the illumination of the light, appear one by one.
There is a sense of déjà vu that lifts through the layers of fog.
At this point, players can only hear the resounding footsteps and the gasp of fear.
Even through the screen, you can feel the fear of the man in orange.
Especially this eerie stairwell that is dimly dark...
Don't talk about him, if you change to anyone, you can't feel safe!
In the video, as soon as the camera steps into the semicircular platform, it immediately stops.
Everyone was stunned at this point.
Not only the man in orange who suddenly stopped, but also the surprise from the doctor, and the stunned players in front of the screen.
In the video, there is no longer dead silence, only the sound of footsteps and breathing.
Instead, there was a very clear, but ethereal, woman's cry...
...
It's coming, it's coming!
The anomaly is coming!
After an initial stunned moment, the players quickly recovered.
At this point, their eyes were full of anticipation of what the person in the video would do in the face of this situation.
Sure enough!
The people in the video also lived up to the expectations of the players.
The man in orange exclaimed first.
[Someone!?] Oh, my God!? There's a woman down here...? ]
As he asked aloud, the Doctor's composure contrasted sharply.
[D-8432, describe what you see and hear now!] ]
When the man in orange heard this, he was a little surprised.
[Damn, can't you hear me!?] ]
[I can hear it, but I need to make sure the voice coming from the liaison is the same as what you heard live, please describe.] ]
In the video, the man in orange holding the camera pauses, then speaks.
[It's a very obvious female voice.,Sounds like it's underage... Wait a minute... This voice... It seems like... It seems...]
The man in orange approached the handrail of the staircase and leaned out, as if trying to hear better.
The camera also goes down, and it is pitch black as far as the eye can see.
Only fluttering dust in the light.
[... It seems like... Calling for help...? I'll listen... It seems to say... Please... Under... Come... Help... Help... I...? Right! I'm crying while repeating the phrase please come down and help me! ]
Seeing this, the players showed a sudden look.
In front of the screen, they could only hear the faint cry of a woman, but they couldn't hear what was being said.
At this time, when I heard the explanation of the man in orange, I realized that he was asking for help.
Does that mean that there are other people in the stairwell!?
Could it be the missing person?
Or maybe... Not human?
It's tempting others to go down...?
Players have all kinds of speculations in their minds, and their eyes are glued to the film.
In the video, the man in orange is no longer leaning on the handrail, but hesitating in place
[D-8432, guess how far away this voice is from you.] ]
[How do I TM know?] It's a small space, and I know how to catch my breath. This voice sounds far away, and even with the blessing of the environment, it can only be faintly heard. This shows that the person who makes the sound is farther away than he hears now! ]
There is a lot of truth in that.
Players agreed.
And the doctor didn't seem to have any intention of picking a thorn, just asked the orange man to continue down.
Then, the film is sped up.
Players in front of the screen can see the camera descending the stairs continuously, interspersed with a few high-pitched words that are accelerated and shrill in tone.
Maybe it's because the process is boring, so speed up this section.
Players are not surprised, after all, it is a time saver.
This is a live documentary, if you really want to watch the whole thing, it is estimated to be boring.
Therefore, the cumbersome downstairs has been accelerated, which has increased the player's perception.
Soon, the acceleration did not last long.
After descending an unknown number of stairs, the picture became normal again.
[Damn!] That voice always echoed in my ears, and it didn't feel like it was getting close to her at all! It's like... I'm moving forward, and the sound is moving away from me at the same speed! ]
As soon as the screen rate was restored, the players heard the words of the man in orange that made them full of interest.
This woman's crying is really wrong! Sure enough, there was a problem!
Soon, the doctor answered.
[I know, please keep going.] ]
The man in orange immediately yelled.
[Still down??] I've been in this dark and unknown stairwell for at least 1 hour, right? Do you understand how I feel right now? I feel bad! Coming and going is the staircase staircase, whether it is above or below, all the eye can see is the staircase! And there is also a woman's cry that sends chills down the spine echoes here! I think this is the end of the experiment! ]
The doctor didn't have any anger or anything else at what he heard.
Just plain opening.
[In fact, it's only been 34 minutes since you entered 087.] After a total of 50 platforms, you are now standing on the 51st platform. Based on the vertical distance, you should already be about 150 meters underground. ]
[You didn't encounter anything strange in those 34 minutes.] Conversely, if you think that cry is dangerous, then why is the cry getting farther and farther away from you, not closer? ]
[■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■]
In the next second, the man in orange trembled and spoke.
[I... I understand... I will abide by the agreement...]
Once again, the players were stunned.
Holy!
Silent and black blocks again!
What the hell did this doctor say that the whole line was censored!?
And the man in orange was directly stunned when he heard this!
Terrible...
I really want to know what the coder said!
However, players don't know what the Doctor said, but they can guess that it's some kind of threat.
It's miserable.
Being thrown into this weird stairwell, not to mention, can't resist, it's just aggrieved!
And I didn't expect to go deep into the 51 staircase landings underground!
The bottom is still far away.
How long and deep is this stairwell?
It's been more than 30 minutes and I haven't gone to the end!
Could it be... There are more than 100 floors, right?
Or... Straight to the center of the earth?
It's possible!
This stairwell is beyond ordinary people's comprehension.
Or rather, beyond the players' understanding!
At the very least, in their past gaming careers or reading films.
There weren't any games or movies that worked on the stairwell.
And now such a video film with the theme of the stairwell really satisfies many people's shadows of their childhood.
How many people were too scared to step into a dark stairwell when they were young?
At this time, this video video has allowed many players to recreate their childhood fears.
Although I don't feel much when I grow up now, I still have an inexplicable awe of the dark stairwell in my heart.
In the video, the man in orange trembled and didn't dare to say more.
Instead, he held up the camera and honestly continued down.
When they came to the next platform, sharp-eyed players immediately noticed that the stairwell leading to the next floor was actually shattered!?
The man in orange immediately stepped forward, crouched down, put the searchlight aside, and observed the shattered first steps.
[Completely shattered into rubble...]
In the shot, the man in orange picked up a piece of debris and looked at it carefully.
He reached out again and looked through the pile of rubble, but there was nothing.
It's as normal as if an ordinary step has been trampled on.
But everyone knows that in the current environment. Normal things, I'm afraid there are some things that are not normal.
The Doctor's voice rang out.
[D-8432, is it broken other than this one?] ]
[No... No... Everything else is normal, not even a trace of breakage... It looks like only this level has been destroyed... But why...? ]
The Doctor's voice paused slightly, then rang out.
[This could be a key point to look around and see if there's anything else different.] ]
The man in orange, who heard this, picked up the searchlight and stood up.
After a careful glance around the platform, the result was the same as the ones above, no different.
Except for the steps that shattered into rubble.
[No more doctors...] Only this one step is broken, everything else is the same as before...]
[What about the crying of the woman?] ]
[Also... Still nothing has changed... The sound is still far away... There is no feeling of proximity either...]
The Doctor was silent for a moment, and spoke again.
[I see, platform 52, the first step to platform 53 is shattered.] Alright, please move on. ]
The man in orange sighed and took a downward step.
The result was the moment he stepped over the shattered steps.
There was a rush of footsteps, coming from the darkness below...
Its movement, approaching from afar, gradually resounded.
Along the stairwell...
Move closer to him!
