Chapter 12

The two of them stumbled to the fourth floor with the fastest speed.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological reason. This layer is much darker than the other three layers. The darkness is like a sponge, sucking all the sounds completely, leaving only an unsettling silence.

Wen Jianyan paused for a moment and did not continue to rush forward.

"What, what's wrong?" Su Cheng gasped and turned his head to look over.

Wen Jianyan shook his head, took two steps towards the stairwell, pressed one hand on the handrail, and looked down cautiously.

“…”

There was a quiet sound in the stairwell.

Whether it was the clacking sound of the utility knife being pushed or the weird humming of the old witch, they all disappeared, as if they were isolated from another different dimension space.

"I didn't catch up." Wen Jianyan withdrew his gaze and frowned.

Su Cheng stood beside him in a daze, his chest still undulating rapidly, and he looked at the young man in front of him with some confusion.

Isn't this a good thing?

But why... the other person's face did not have any relaxed emotions, but instead looked even more serious?

Seeing that Wen Jianyan seemed not ready to continue walking, Su Cheng said in a horror:

"Wait, you, don't you want to go back?"

Looking at the dark stairwell and thinking of the two NPCs who were chasing each other just now, Su Cheng couldn't help but chill and suggested:

"Or what if we go around the stairs behind? Maybe we can get around those two."

Not to mention whether we can continue now, even if we can, we might fall into the same situation as before again.

Now, there is only the last path left before him.

——Continue to move forward.

"……good."

Wen Jianyan sighed and nodded weakly: "Let's go."

The air was filled with a stale dust, and the temperature was very low, a little colder than downstairs. The cone-like coldness penetrated the thin clothes and gradually invaded the texture.

There was no light source in the entire corridor, and everything was shrouded in the darkness.

A series of closed doors passed by.

The ears were so quiet that I could only hear the slight friction sounds of the soles of the shoes and the ground when I walked.

When groping in the dark, the concept of time seems to be distorted, and every second is almost stretched into a century, and space seems to be stretched infinitely, making people almost feel a strange sense of trance.

"when--"

A dull bell rang from the downstairs, and the air floating with dust fluttered, making people subconsciously feel shocked.

"Dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang"

The bell kept ringing and kept ringing twelve times.

It's twelve o'clock.

At this moment, a familiar mechanical sound rang in both of them at the same time:

"Ding, it was detected that the anchor's live broadcast had reached three hours. Is the points settlement enabled?"

This sudden sound scared Su Cheng and his shoulders shivered.

He secretly looked at Wen Jianyan, and saw that the other party seemed to have not noticed his disobedience, so he felt relieved and replied secretly in his mind:

“Open.”

At the same time, Wen Jianyan is also doing the exact same thing.

He looked calm and looked ahead. While walking forward, he replied in his heart: "Open."

"In the e-level live broadcast room, within 789326qwk, the average number of viewers per hour is 7000, and the points can be redeemed 700.

If you detect that the anchor is a novice anchor, the points you received for this live broadcast will double, and you have settled 1,400 points to your account.

There are still 3,200 points left before your live broadcast room upgrade. Please continue to work hard and create new glory!"

"In your live broadcast, you received a total of 226 rewards and received a total of 4,150 reward points.

It is detected that the anchor is a novice anchor, and your live broadcast system will not draw any share points, and you have settled 4150 points in your account."

【The remaining points in your account are: 28450】

【Next point settlement time is: 3:00】

Immediately afterwards, Wen Jianyan exchanged two hours of survival time again to ensure that he lived until the next settlement.

After the purchase, the sound rang again:

【The remaining points in your account are: 10450】

Wen Jianyan's steps suddenly paused.

The moment the sound fell in his ears, his afterglow captured the existence of a door not far away.

The yellow paint on the door panel is peeled off, the door shaft is rusted, and the door number is hung crookedly on it.

【408】

In the darkness around him, the three and half-rusted numbers seemed extremely dazzling and abrupt, as if there was an invisible force that attracted his gaze.

“…”

day.

Wen Jianyan finally pulled a slight slight kick.

He walked straight forward without looking at him.

A few seconds later.

Room No. 408 appeared next to him again.

Wen Jianyan didn't even look at it, and once again he accelerated his pace silently—

Soon, the logo of room No. 408 appeared in front of me again.

Wen Jianyan: “…………”

His feet were flying, and doors were quickly thrown behind him, but [408] still appeared in his sight again.

Su Cheng was exhausted and panting, barely following Wen Jianyan's pace: "Little, little Vancouver, don't you think that the time we left... has been a bit too long?"

The corridor extends endlessly into the darkness in the distance, as if it is undergoing an endless fall.

Depending on the size of the building, the corridor should not have ended until now.

I don’t know when it started, but the lights on the stairwell had been swallowed up by the darkness and disappeared without a trace.

There is only a piece of darkness left behind.

The dormitories on both sides of the corridor were all unnumbered, and the doors were closed, as if they had been welded to death, and the black windows were staring at them in a daze.

It seemed as if there was only this endless corridor left in the whole world, as well as two lonely people in the corridor.

...A ghost hits a wall?

Su Cheng couldn't help but shivered.

Wen Jianyan: "…”

Do you think I don’t know?

I just don't want to know!

He finally gave up his struggle, stopped slowly, and said weakly:

"Ah, it seems that's true..."

Su Cheng stood firm and finally straightened his breathing.

He seemed not to notice Wen Jianyan's strange reaction, but began to investigate the surrounding environment with great caution. Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something:

"Hey! Speaking of which, room 408... have we passed by before?"

Wen said in a short sentence, "I didn't notice it."

Unexpectedly, this time he discovered the clue first. Su Cheng was suddenly full of strength and felt that he finally came in handy:

"This room is definitely not ordinary!"

He said confidently.

Su Cheng approached carefully and gently pushed the door with his fingertips. With a creaking sound, 408 opened a small gap.

He said excitedly: "This door can be pushed open!"

All the other doors passing by on the road were locked tightly, and only this door could push them.
