Chapter 35: Spiral staircase

A game full of innocence, a gorgeous door, and the decrypted text pointed to is a shocking distress signal.

To an unknown but established upper level.

Beautiful and delicate angel reliefs adorn the snow-white armrests.

It really is like a staircase to heaven.

The moment the door opened, a golden drop of water was suspended in front of An Wujiu.

The moment he stretched out his hand and touched the water drop with his fingertips, under a burst of light, the water drop turned into four pieces with different messages printed on it.

[conSecration]

[Our]

[Shall]

[! ]

"The four characters just now are hidden inside." Shen Ti pointed, the letters were all uppercase.

"Well, it should be related to the key." An Wujiu looked at the fragments and read out the meaning of these words softly, "'Dedication', 'Our', 'Should'... "

It seems to be a few words that are temporarily unrelated.

They stood where they were, and Wu You's voice suddenly appeared behind them.

An Wujiu collected the pieces, turned around and saw Nan Shan and Wu You walking side by side in the corridor. But before that, they had never met at all.

Nan Shan stretched out a hand that was originally caged, raised it, and greeted with a smile, "It seems that you have found your way to the second floor."

An Wujiu also nodded slightly.

Shen Ti imitated Nanshan's way of greeting, but he raised his hand somewhat perfunctory, rather than greeting, he was more like the arrogant son who raised his hand at an auction to bid.

"Brother Wu blame." Wu You quickly stepped forward, "After we entered his workshop, we found these fragments in the incinerator."

He unreservedly stretched out his hand towards An Wujiao, and in the palm of his hand were the fragments he had collected.

Nan Shan, who was on the side, looked a little sad. She could be regarded as a comrade-in-arms of this child fighting side by side, but he didn't even have a name in his words.

So after Wu You stretched out his hand, he added to An Wujiu: "Yes, we found it. My name is Nanshan."

An Wujiu looked up at him, "I remember your name."

This person is strange.

“We also have it.” Shen Ti grabbed An Wujiu’s wrist, and because of his injury, he held it a little higher, and moved lightly, “Extend your hand and show him us of."

An Wujiu is only immersed in checking the fragments Wu You got.

He and Nanshan found only one piece, [Burned].

An Wujiu quickly combined shall and burned, because it is passive voice, it can only be […should be burned to death].

"Put it with you." Wu You handed it to him directly, with absolute trust on his face.

Nan Shanlong started to measure him beside him, the old **** was thinking in his heart, I didn't expect this little poker-faced boy to be a loyal dog, how can he only complain indifferently in front of him.

It seems that this handsome man with long hair is very reliable and looks very kind.

How can a kind guy survive in such a cannibalistic place?

An Wujiu agreed with Wu You's proposal.

He looked up and saw the other three people, Yang Erci, Zhong Yirou and Josh, who came from the corner. Just as he was about to ask Zhong Yirou's microphone, he didn't expect the other party to hide behind Yang Erci as if he had seen a ghost when he saw him.

"Be careful! This An Wugui may be fake!"

An Wujiu was a little inexplicable, he turned his face and looked at Shen Ti next to him, then looked at Zhong Yirou.

Shen Ti said directly, "Are you mistaken?"

"Is there another me?"

Everyone is a little inexplicable, and there is a strangeness in the originally calm atmosphere.

Zhong Yirou also stood up from behind Yang Erci and asked An Wujiu tentatively: "In the last game...what color did I wear the next day?"

Shen Ti and Wu You rolled their eyes when they heard this question.

"Who remembers this?"

"You've turned this game into a drag game."

An Wujiu thought for a while, then glanced at Shen Ti's face again.

"It's a bit like his eye color, maybe...mint color."

I really remember.

He's not straight at all.

Zhong Yirou's face showed a little surprise, and then coughed twice, "Then let me ask you, Shen Ti fell asleep in the bunker..."

"Handcuffs." An Wujiu interrupted her almost immediately, "Don't ask me, I remember that if you don't believe me, I can take it out from the storage threshold for you to see."

His voice was inexplicably lower, and he spoke so fast that he could not even break a sentence, as if he was very guilty.

"Oh!" Nan Shan showed a sudden realization, "It turns out that this is the relationship between Mr. Wu blame and Mr. Green Eyes."

Wu You showed an expression I knew, but did not deny it for them.

No one cares about the innocent negation alone. Zhong Yirou was happy that she had found the real him, Yang Erci was relieved, Josh had red ears and looked at the others with a shy smile, while Nan Shan communicated with Shen Ti through An Wujiu's expressions and eyes. human relationship.

After the reunion, everyone put down a lot of anxiety, even though no one said anything.

"Let's go up first." An Wujiu has no choice, "After going up to the second floor, we need to exchange the information obtained on the first floor, because if I guess correctly, we are Some hallucinations were forcibly separated."

So everyone walked into the gate together, climbed the stairs, and on the spiral staircase against the wall, there were a lot of photos, all of which were smiling faces of children, and each one was very cute.

But the cuter it is, the more An Wu Jiao feels chilled.

The door on the second floor is also a delicate embossed door. Before pushing it away, An Wu Jiu thought that it might be similar to the first floor, but when he opened it, he would see a colorful scene, pink floor, blue ceiling, and all kinds of walls on the walls. Children's drawings of the protagonists of various fairy tales.

In addition, in the hallway full of childlike innocence, there is a jumping bear, which seems to be a robot. But he can only go forward and backward, and can only jump, unable to walk or talk.

When everyone entered the second floor, the door leading to the first floor slammed shut.

Different from the cleanness and emptiness of the first floor, the sign from the door on this floor is full of fairytale colors, a sign pointing to the left, saying [Rainbow Baby], pointing to the right The sign on the side reads [Double Angel]. Both brands are inlaid with a circle of gem-like mini lanterns, which are very eye-catching.

"Let's sort out the information first." Yang Erci spoke calmly, "and don't separate. I suspect that as long as we separate, subspaces will be split here. No one else."

Zhong Yirou nodded, "I was single before, and I met a guy who looked exactly like Wu Gui."

An Wujiu's eyes widened, and the way of expressing surprise was also very restrained.

"So you cut me off."

"It was accidentally broken. I didn't know which one was real and which one was fake, so I just told An Wugui standing in front of me."

Zhong Yirou put her hands on her hips, "But he doesn't even know his own name. I used to call him blameless in a panic, but he didn't seem to notice. Later, I called him Wu You, He didn't refute it, and at that time I knew he was fake."

An Wujiu didn't understand: "Is it an NPC? But if disguising an identity is a task given by the altar, it is impossible for them not to know the identity information of the person being disguised."

"All I find strange." Zhong Yirou reminded others, "I don't know if there will be other players in the future, everyone must be careful. If Erci didn't save me , I'm afraid I'm going to be strangled to death by the fake."

Yang Erci pursed her lips when she called Zhong Yirou a familiar name.

An Wujiu had another question, "How did you find her?"

As Yang Erci guessed before, indeed, no matter how long An Wujiu and Shen Ti wandered in the four-corner corridor, they couldn't find any other players, and Zhong Yirou only encountered the fake self.

"I was with Josh, because accidentally my microphone was connected to Zhong Yirou, and I heard that she was in danger, but we couldn't find her."

Josh added: "The most frightening thing was that we were in the monitoring room looking at other rooms and corridors, and there was no one there. Then we went out together, walked a few times, and saw a sudden appearance on the ground. A very weird nine-square grid."

Shen Ti said: "We also saw it."

"Everyone, I did that." Nan Shan said, explaining to the others what happened to him and Wu You, including how he used Jiugong gossip and Qimen escape method to get rid of ghosts hitting the wall through.

"Maybe as Miss Yang said, this is not an ordinary place, maybe because of the different choices we make, different parallel spaces are classified. In these spaces, we can't see other People. Even if she stands in front of our eyes and makes the next mark, we can't see it because of the dislocation of space."

Shen Ti nodded, "So it is because of your nine palaces and gossip that these parallel spaces have intersections."

"That's right. Only when everyone passes through the Nine Palaces array can they meet and enter the same space. This illusion of openness and division can be closed."

An Wujiu pondered for a moment, and showed the fragmented information he got to others. Everyone exchanged clues they had found from different spaces. After learning about the incinerator, it's not surprising to hear Zhong Yirou talking about the paradoxical sleeping house.

Wu You nodded after listening, "So the white coat on your body does not represent a doctor, nor does it represent a researcher...you are the person guarding the morgue."

"Do you know what scares me the most?" Zhong Yirou took out a hard drive from Yang Erci's white coat pocket.

"This is what Erci found. It can only be opened with my fingerprint permission. It is my work log, but the fake one used this information to deceive me. He told me that he found I got my work log and asked me to go with him."

An Wujiu immediately reacted, "So, this fake me, know more about this shelter."

"That's right." Yang Erci speculated, "He not only knows, but is very familiar with it. Being able to directly take Zhong Yirou to the designated room to commit the murder shows that he knows very well which room has the whip he needs."

"What was written in the work log?" Shen Ti asked.

"It is the information of many children, which has the time and reason entered. The time should be the time of death, and the reason is replaced by one, two, three, and four in Roman numerals. It is not very clear, except A special kind is written directly."

An Wujiu frowned, "What is it?"

"Alienation." Zhong Yi Judo.

Nan Shan repeated these two words, "I also have this word in my work log."

“The alienation here is definitely not just a sociological and philosophical concept, although we are all constantly alienated by technology.” Yang Erci said meaningfully.

"I think it should be related to some mysterious Western religion." Nanshan explained, "This kind of alienation is the process of going from human to non-human, for example, becoming a monster."

An Wujiu suddenly flashed the slime ball in front of his eyes.

"You mean that some children have been 'alienated', so they have been destroyed." After Shen Ti finished speaking, he asked in a tone that he did not understand: "Why not Are people going to be destroyed?"

"It is probably due to the natural rejection of human beings." Nan Shan added with a smile, "Of course, what we Taoism pursues is the establishment of a world of great harmony, and advocates equality of all things, not all And Qi…”

"Are you here to preach?" Wu You said coldly.

Nan Shan smiled peacefully, "Of course not. Our Taoism never seeks universality, but only for inner peace and harmony between man and nature."

Seeing that the old **** was talking about it, Wu You couldn't refute it. He only thought that his peacock opened again.

After they discussed the information of the first layer, they also gathered all the fragments obtained from the E layer, and the probability is the information of that key.

But after opening the log, Zhong Yirou only got one piece, printed with [Hell], which means hell.

The current debris is not much, and they have to focus on the second floor of the containment center where they are currently.

The little bear robot has turned around, jumped in front of their eyes again, and then shook them off.

[I am here. ]

An Wujiu frowned. The others were also very puzzled and looked at each other.

[I am here. ]

The voice repeats again.

[Need any help? Please order. ]

Josh's goosebumps appeared, he touched his arm, and said in a low voice, "Do you think this... does it look like that kind of artificial intelligence system for home use?"

"But no one called him at all." Zhong Yirou's face wrinkled.

Just as they were whispering, the voice came up again.

Or rather, some kind of response.

[No problem, the song is about to play for you. ]

Suddenly, a crisp and sweet nursery rhyme was played again in the corridor. It is a classic English nursery rhyme sung by many children. The melody is very pleasant.

[London Bridge down, down, down…]

Everyone looked up and followed the sound to the ceiling painted with stars and lakes.

An Wugui felt something flash past and turned his head.

He saw a little boy with two heads standing on the corridor at the end of [Rainbow Baby]. His two heads tilted in different directions, smiling at him.

The next second, disappeared.

[…London Bridge falls, my beautiful lady. ]
