Chapter 19: The Backrooms and the Students' Experiments

In the middle of the night, two people walked in the dark in the corridor.

They held up their lenses and walked down the stairway.

If anyone comes, I am afraid that they will be frightened by this scene.

The man at the head had his eyes closed, but one of his eyebrows was turning strangely.

He looked at his surroundings and said something in his mouth.

"Where is this, where is this, this place is so dark, can I go to your place?"

Different from Chen Qing's calmness and relaxation, he said softly, but the lady behind him became more and more nervous.

There was a rustling blind sound from the walkie-talkie in Jiang Wan's hand, and on the other end of the communication, there should be a regular broadcast at this moment.

On the other end of the intercom, the security guard who patrols downstairs is supposed to be broadcasting the nightly news.

But at the moment, there is nothing.

She walked to the window, and the scene outside the window had become hazy, and she couldn't see the scene clearly, and she couldn't see the people clearly.

She came back to her senses and continued to follow behind Chen Qing.

"Are we already in the Backrooms?"

Chen Qing nodded, but also added: "Theoretically...... We should be in the hallway into the Backrooms. ”

He turned around and, following the last step of the ritual, placed the mirror in his hand at the corner of the stairs.

He walked back and forth several times, and his mouth kept on his lips.

And at the moment when the last sentence fell, an indescribable force seemed to change everything around him.

They couldn't say what they were going through, but what was certain was that they both realized at this moment that they had entered the Backrooms.

They looked at the empty inside the mirror, and their spirits were focused to the top.

They went back upstairs, and what should have been night was now extremely bright.

The light source was a bit like a giant shadowless lamp that enveloped the entire campus.

The areas that had access to the outside world were occupied by bright light, and every window was penetrated by bright light.

The two looked at each other, and in an instant they reached an agreement, leaving the hallway and entering the nearest classroom.

They looked up at the door number, which happened to be the classroom where Zhang Lan had been.

They pushed the door open, and the moment they walked into the classroom together, the door behind them was closed by an unknown force.

It was powerful, and it seemed to change some kind of rules.

They frowned and looked out the window, the terrifying light was gone, and they were back into the night.

In the classroom, several faint lights illuminate the classroom.

The light wasn't strong, but it was definitely enough to read the handwriting anywhere.

Chen Qing looked at the classroom in front of him, walked to the first row and sat down.

He rested his chin and stared at the blackboard.

"What are you looking at?"

Jiang Wan sat next to him, and the small table and chairs, far away from the environment for decades, made her a little curious.

"I'm wondering ......" he looked at the blackboard in front of him and frowned, "what the hell are they talking about." ”

"Theoretically, when the rules in the Backrooms are clear, it becomes much less threatening...... Zhang Lan will escape twice in a row, hasn't he summed up the pattern yet? ”

Jiang Wan nodded, agreeing with his statement: "The rules in the backroom...... Will it change? ”

He shook his head, but he also thought in silence for a while: "Maybe, who can tell the underlying rules of it." ”

But he was silent, but he also thought that manpower could build the Backrooms.

"Can't you really change it......"

As the two were talking, the sound of writing came from in front of them.

On that chalkboard, the already broken chalk left the handwriting.

"Don't leave here...... Don't leave. ”

"They're all man-eating beasts! No...... No! I can't die here! ”

"Don't go! Don't go! ”

Immediately after, a few lighter lines of text appeared.

"Come on...... Stay alive. ”

"Come on, we believe in you...... You have to trust us too...... We will be back. ”

But these words appeared almost instantaneously, and then they were erased, covering the previous round of resentment full of anger and despair.

"You ...... It's up to you...... If they don't come back, then you're safe, go quickly...... Just go! ”

"It's okay...... Of course you can reject me, everyone has the right to reject me...... It's true. ”

"It smells so good...... It smells so good! It smells so good! It smells so good. I'm going to eat it again. I'm so hungry. ”

"Here they go again...... Here it comes...... Woooooooo Sister, I was wrong...... I shouldn't have eaten you, I'm going to pull you out, and you should hurry up and die for me." ”

……

Chen Qing frowned, his fingers kept tapping on the desk, and the regular sound made this strange place a little lively.

Aside from these meaningful words, the rest of the graffiti is almost always a reflection of what the person did.

The scene of his madness and twisting, the second he was paralyzed and kowtowed to the door.

Those simple stickmen recorded all his actions.

"What the hell did they encounter......

Jiang Wan didn't answer, frowning and asking him, "What do you think...... Could this person be a student in the club? ”

Chen Qing shook his head and was very sure: "Zhang Lan took the initiative to go back after successfully escaping, which is not in line with the description.

And according to his records, there should have been more than three people who lived here temporarily......

I'm afraid someone else has come in here. ”

"Who could it be?" She hesitated, not daring to say what was in her mind.

"I think ...... too It's them. Chen Qing sighed, increasing his strength to knock on the table.

However, based on the message...... One of the rules in the Backrooms should be to avoid certain entities, or to stay indoors for a set amount of time.

Objectively speaking...... This rule is not that difficult. ”

Chen Qing squinted his eyes slightly and continued to talk to himself: "Zhang Lan is a person who is not afraid of danger...... Is it really impossible to find such a simple rule? ”

He shook his head, something didn't seem quite right.

"We'll have to check the other classrooms." He raised his head and proposed to Jiang Wan.

"It really needs to be checked. Splitting up? ”

This time, it was Chen Qing who laughed at her: "What are you kidding, in horror movies, your proposal is often the first to die." ”

The two eased the atmosphere a little as they talked and laughed, but the problem was still there.

Although they knew that the rule was not to go out, they did not tell them the time limit.

But even if it's a gamble, they have to gamble this time.

They moved to the next classroom in the shortest amount of time by exiting the back door and entering through the front door.

However, Chen Qing and Jiang Wan saw completely different words on the blackboard this time.

The words are full of goodness, and they are encouraging them to the best of their ability.

"This ...... It seems that it is not just one person who left a message here. ”

Jiang Wan stepped forward, and everyone's handwriting could be clearly distinguished.

was different from Jiang Wan, but Chen Qing, who was behind her, frowned.

He looked at the words on the blackboard, and he always felt a little weird in his heart.

"That's not right."

"Something is wrong."

Jiang Wan looked back at him.

"The content is wrong."

He approached, and the words on the blackboard had begun to fade.

"Those words of encouragement are not right."

"Why?" Jiang Wan frowned: "The next door is full of malice, can't someone here be full of kindness?"

Because they are different in their ways, they do not conspire with each other. ”

"That's not right."

Chen Qing shook his head and sat down on the table and chair in the first row.

"Come on! We'll definitely find a way out! ”

"Don't give up...... Don't give up, you see, we just have to go back and forth...... We'll be able to bring back a week's worth of food, that's okay...... None of us will die. ”

"As long as you rush to the end of the hallway, that food will be enough for us to live for a long time."

"The strongest will resist them, and the fastest will bring food...... We have to hold on to one thing.

Each and every one of us ...... must all be sacrificed for the sake of the collective. ”

"I'm here for your own good...... Each of us has to live, come on, this is the last time to get food. We'll be able to hold out until someone comes to save us. ”

"Really...... It's true...... This is the last time. ”

He looked at the words on the blackboard and asked Jiang Wan rhetorically: "Do you really think that the person who left this sentence ...... Is it kind? ”

He stood up and walked to the opposite side of Jiang Wan: "Suppose I have a child next to me."

I need you to sacrifice for her sake.

Is this kindness? ”

She frowned, but shook her head.

"If so, after your death, only me and this child will be left.

And I know for sure that we can't leave.

I'm going to die, she's going to die.

Then I ended his pain early, is it considered kind. ”

Her eyes widened, and she jerked her head to the last sentence.

"If so. The author who left this text, his 'last kindness' to his partners, is to let them die without pain. Do you think this is really good?

Is it good that he leads the future generations to death in order to end their suffering as soon as possible? ”

"This ...... How is this possible?! Isn't kindness how it should be! ”

She hadn't finished speaking, but Chen Qing's coldness had already made her speechless: "Kindness also depends on who the object is." It also depends on what this goodness is based on.

Your kindness to a demon should have been to make him see the most horrible bleakness in the world. ”

He relented for a moment before continuing, "But judging by the comments from the two classrooms, the rules in this place should be fairly simple. ”

"Simple?" She frowned.

"Remember what Zhang Lan said she heard?"

"Don't get out of the box."

"Yes. box', I don't want to think of it as a concrete box.

It's more of a concept that can be scaled up to this classroom.

'Don't leave this classroom,' you see, it's something that you won't be allowed to do on both blackboards.

Kind people tell you that there is food at the end of the hallway; Tell you, just avoid the danger.

But the wicked man says to you, "Go out if you want to die." Please hurry up and die.

They are all so pure that ......"

He was silent for a moment, and his face was very strange: "So much so that it was as if they had been changed by some rule." ”
