Shi Jiu stood on the platform in the turning of the stairs, closed his eyes and felt the movement around him.
Although there is no difference between eyes open and eyes closed in such a space, when eyes are closed, Shi Jiu can calm down and feel some things around him that cannot be perceived by the naked eye, such as the power flowing in the dark space.
Shi Jiu didn't switch the power in his body, but only restrained the power around his body, and then felt that there was indeed power flowing around his body.
And that power is exactly the same as the power he had when he was experimenting in the nightmare world!
Because of the soul stone, Shi Jiu likes to use colors to distinguish power, for example, the power of the demon blood is red, and the power of the succubus blood is light pink.At this time, Shi Jiu felt the power in the dark space, but it was gray.
This kind of power is inconspicuous mixed in the dark, but it can be distinguished carefully. I don’t know the source of the power. It’s black and white. It seems to be used to cover the gray smoke behind the scenes. It’s best to use gray to represent it.
Shi Jiu could also feel that the flow of this force was not balanced, it seemed that there was a feeling of flowing from top to bottom, and the power at the top was relatively stronger, so he did not "clear the level" in a violent way immediately after opening his eyes , but patiently walked up the stairs for a long way.
That gray power did feel stronger, but the strength was so small that Shi Jiu subconsciously walked up a long way, as if he had caught a rope that was getting thicker and thicker, which always made people feel curious. Want to see what the end of the rope looks like.
Every time he went up a few floors, Shi Jiu could feel that this force became stronger.
Although he didn't remember how many floors he went up, it was definitely far more than the number of floors that this residential building should have, which also confirmed Shi Jiu's previous guess about the endless stairs.
Especially after Jiu walked up for a while, he even vaguely heard the sound of birds, especially ethereal birds.
At this moment, Shi Jiu's rationality has not been shaken at all. After all, such a small trick is not enough to shake his rationality, so Shi Jiu knows that the bird call may also be a deceptive method.
Just like when Shi Jiu can feel the gray power getting stronger as he goes up, ordinary people naturally cannot perceive any gray and white power after being trapped in this endless staircase, but when they are physically and mentally exhausted and about to collapse, the ethereal bird But the cry will [-]% rekindle hope for desperate humans.
Maybe they will believe that the bird call is from a certain window or even a certain window. Maybe the more they climb up, the more they feel that the bird call becomes louder and clearer. The hallucinations produced by the sleepy after being tortured for a long time.
A trap is a trap after all, and Shi Jiu has reason to guess that no matter how high they climb, no matter how hard they try, they will never reach the end of the stairs, because there is no end from the beginning!
After confirming his guess, Shi Jiu was going to directly break through the wall of the stairwell beside him, but at this moment he heard a faint breathing sound from above his head.
Is this also an endless staircase trap?
Considering that the sound of breathing was really close, Shi Jiu tried to ask, "Is there someone upstairs?"
The sound of breathing became rapid in a second. I don't know if it was because it was difficult to make a sound. After a while, there were two coughing sounds with great difficulty, followed by a light knock on the metal stair railing The voice came.
anyone?
Shi Jiu was a little surprised and walked upstairs, and actually saw a figure collapsed on the corner platform of the upper floor.
This person didn't know how long he had been in the dark space. When Shi Jiu looked over, he found that there was almost no blood on the other person's face, and he was terribly pale.Judging from the clothes and the state of most of the skin, the other party should be a young man, but the hair has not been combed and rested for an unknown period of time, and the beard is sloppy, which makes him look very depressed.
At first, Jiu thought that the other party was the owner of the shoe that fell down below, but although the shoes were dirty, the people lying there were wearing both of them well, so obviously there were many more people trapped here than two or three .
"Cough cough." The other party coughed twice again, even the sound of coughing could make people feel weak and weak.
"How long have you been here?" In the quiet environment, Shi Jiu subconsciously lowered his voice.
The person who fell there was breathing more heavily, but he was still unable to speak.
Shi Jiu thought about it, and opened the gap space to search. He can stuff everything into this space except some living things, so when he used to fight with the protoss, Shi Jiu would also bring some food for convenience. Or things that are easy to restore physical strength, although they should all be pressed at the bottom of the gap space, but they can be found after careful searching.
After struggling to find it for a while, Shi Jiu took out a small bag of jerky from the gap space, which was wrapped in special oiled paper made by the demons, and could store a long, long time in the gap space.Moreover, this kind of jerky is the meat of those powerful beasts. For ordinary humans without strength, it only takes a little to restore their physical strength.
It seems that the people lying there really need water, but it is definitely not a simple matter to find the water source at this time.
"I don't have water by my side, but you can eat something." Shi Jiu said, tearing off a small piece of meat, bent down and brought the piece of meat to the other party's mouth accurately.
The other party didn't hesitate, and rushed towards Shi Jiu almost as soon as he smelled the food. If Shi Jiu hadn't thrown the meat directly into the other party's mouth, he might have been bitten with his fingers.
Shi Jiu never thought that such a weak person would be able to burst out with such strength when food appeared.
"Cough—cough—" In this case, the lack of moisture in the food is obviously tormenting the throat, but fortunately, the beast meat is different from the jerky in this world after all. The point is not that the meat brings satiety, but also It is not the form of meat itself, but the power contained in these meats that can help people.
Although that kind of power effect is not as obvious as the unlucky protoss Wright absorbing life force, it is enough for humans in this world.
Amidst a series of cracking coughs, Shi Jiu could clearly feel that the other party's voice was getting stronger and stronger, and was no longer as weak as before, and the other party had even begun to try to make a sound.
"Just nod and shake your head first." Shi Jiu handed over another piece of meat. The recovery speed of the other party had exceeded his expectations, but he didn't know that the man would speak now.
The man on the ground moved his head up and down. Maybe he didn't understand how anyone could see nodding and shaking his head clearly in such a dark place, but he did it anyway.
"Did you break into here by mistake?"
The other party nodded.
"Are you also from the Happy Community?"
The other party shook his head.
"Have you been here long?"
The other party nodded first, but shook his head after a while.
"In other words, you're not sure how long you've been here?" Shi Jiu could also understand the man's feelings of being tortured by endless stairs.
This time, the person who fell there did not nod or shake his head, but after eating the second larger piece of meat, he tried to struggle on the ground, and tried to make a hoarse voice: "Uh, I..."
"Take a rest first." Shi Jiu was not in a hurry, after all, he had just returned from the nightmare world, and it was impossible for him to enter the game world again in a short time.The only reason Shi Jiu needs to leave the residential building in a hurry is probably to go to the mysterious house in Bantai City for an appointment, so he only needs to leave this crappy place before next Wednesday.
There is plenty of time.
Originally, Shi Jiu could inject the power of the demons into the soul stone, so that the blue light of the soul stone could slightly illuminate the stairs.But considering that person didn't know how long he stayed in the dark, Shi Jiu gave up this idea and even put away the soul stone.
If you let that person see the light at this time, I'm afraid it won't do any good.
After feeding another piece of meat, the man was finally able to breathe heavily. Although his lips were still so dry that they were cracked and even covered with wounds, they were obviously much stronger than before.
"You, you..." The other party said the same word many times, his voice was still hoarse, but it was slightly audible, "What did you eat for me?"
"I bring food with me." Shi Jiu also sat down on the next step to rest, "Unfortunately, I didn't bring any drinking water."
"As soon as I ate it, I felt, ahem, I felt my physical strength recovering. It's just... ahem, like a prop." The man said at the end, his voice became weaker.
But Shi Jiu still noticed the word "props" in his sentence.
Is it a coincidence?
"You shouldn't have given me the food." The man spoke more and more fluently, but the lack of water relationship should make him uncomfortable, "You should have just come in not long ago? Didn't you find that we have no way to leave here? "
"I found it." Shi Jiu looked at the wall next to him, imagining what would happen after the wall was broken later, "The exit on the first floor has long since disappeared, no matter whether you go down or up, it seems that you can't go. to the end."
"I don't know how long I've stayed here, and I don't even know why I've survived until now without eating or drinking." The bearded man also looked very puzzled, "But it should, it should be less than Half a month, right?"
"Since you don't know the passage of time, why are you so sure that it will not exceed half a month?" Shi Jiu is also a little concerned about the time period of half a month.
Generally, Nightmare World players would enter the Nightmare World once every half a month, and most Nightmare World players would refer to special items produced in the Nightmare World as props. The person in front of them seemed to fit the bill.
And after watching it a few more times, Shi Jiu felt that this bearded guy seemed familiar.
"Have I seen you?"
After hearing Shijiu Culture, the man paused: "Can you see things in the dark?"
Shi Jiu didn't answer the person's question, but introduced himself directly: "My name is Shi Jiu, and the time is capitalized as Jiu. I just moved to Xingfu District not long ago."
I thought the other party would respond to his name, but that person shook his head: "Sorry, I don't seem to have any impression of this name. But... My name is Lin Shuning, Shuangmulin, Shushu, Tranquility, it's next door People from the city only come to Xingfu Community to visit relatives. Now that I think about it, I may have got the wrong house number, and sometimes people are unlucky enough to drink water and stuff their teeth."
"Ahem, but now I really miss the feeling of drinking water between my teeth."
Lin Shuning.
Shi Jiu didn't have much impression of this name, but he seemed to have heard of a similar name somewhere.
"Have you heard of Nightmare World?"
When Lin Shuning was lying there and heard Shi Jiu's question, he opened his eyes in surprise and looked in the direction of his voice. Although he couldn't focus on exactly where Shi Jiu was, he could clearly understand the surprised expression on his face.
Seeing Lin Shuning's expression, Shi Jiu felt that this person probably knew about the Nightmare World, and was probably also a Nightmare World player.
Shi Jiu also really felt that he was somewhat similar to someone he had met but was not familiar with. Given that Shi Jiu's social circle was very narrow, that person was naturally the person he had met in the Nightmare World.
Although there is no difference between eyes open and eyes closed in such a space, when eyes are closed, Shi Jiu can calm down and feel some things around him that cannot be perceived by the naked eye, such as the power flowing in the dark space.
