Survival Paradox [Infinite]

It's an elevator.

String up.

Wei Chi has been thinking about the relationship between this place and the previous two worlds, but he has been unsuccessful because he is completely misplaced.

He equated the "elevator accident" with the "massacre" of the Second City Hospital and the "collapse of the canteen" in the school. This actually caused a big problem-he regarded these three events as A "big accident", but they don't have the same place in the whole thing.

"Massacre" - the blue-faced medical staff killed people, pierced the heart with a knife, and provided the first key clue: the heart.

"The cafeteria has collapsed" is a group of "Yang Ke" prepared for the killing at night, and it has nothing to do with the final exit - because he made a mistake here, "The cafeteria collapsed" is not the beginning of that world, the real The beginning of the book is actually the chime of seven o'clock in the morning, which provides the really important clues: the bell tower and the time.

And this "elevator fall" is both an accident and a beginning, providing the most obvious clue: the elevator.

He had always regarded the falling elevator as the ruins of the cafeteria, but he didn't expect it to be the "bell tower" at the same time.

This is not the first time he has experienced such a world, and he still failed to detect the most obvious clues in the first place.

It's hard to say that if you are not smart, you will be mistaken by cleverness.

And the emergence of this decisive inspiration immediately opened up all the logic.

He instantly recalled the computer screen saver he had just seen—the bright red background, tall and straight soldiers holding the party flag, the phantom of the Great Wall looming under the flag, and two lines of powerful running script next to it:

There is no limit to the sea of ​​books, and there is no end to learning.

Climb up, dare to climb to the top.

Elevator - No. 3 after the mirror image - computer screensavers that can be found on every floor - way to leave.

Now that the passage has been found, it is only necessary to wait for the night to fall.

Wei Chi leaves the situation to Wei Yuan, but is warned by a passing cleaner not to throw confetti at high altitude, Ji Jingzhe gags and muddles through.

In the afternoon, Fang Qingdi took advantage of his years in the library and found a few comic books about elevator maintenance on a bookshelf in a corner on the fourth floor. Fortunately, the cartoonists of the older generation pay more attention to textual research. Although the comics are comical and nonsense, the structure of the elevator is drawn more carefully, with some small popular science.

As soon as [-]:[-] p.m. arrived, the world suddenly changed—the normal world disappeared in an instant, and all the places where people came and went during the day were dead silent, and all the elevators that were operating normally during the day also appeared on the first floor.The sky turned light gray, and the whole library looked like a concrete cemetery.

08:30.It's closing time.

A team of security guards walked silently in the hall. If someone looked carefully, the walking steps and the angles of bowing their heads were very similar among a dozen of them. It could be said that they were exactly the same, like a group of driven corpses.

They were walking down the hall on the ground floor, ready to start tonight's patrol.

Suddenly, there was a short metal scraping sound in the silent night, and the security captain with sensitive hearing caught it at once.

He searched for his reputation, in the high-rise East District.

He was about to order everyone to go upstairs to check, when suddenly, there was an even louder sound—it was so loud that it didn't require sensitive ears to hear it, and the ground shook accordingly, right on the first floor.

"who!"

The security captain led a mighty force to kill them, and patrolled the reading room in the East District, but found nothing. Now a group of people are standing in the middle of the elevator room in the East District. Looking around, everything is normal and nothing happened.

The captain was thinking, suddenly, there was another loud noise, the same sound as before, but it was in the west area.

A group of security guards went to the West District again.

Still nothing.

The East End rings again.

Kill again.

The West End rang again.

There is a hall between the east and west areas, with a straight-line distance of nearly 50 meters. A group of security guards tearing their bodies apart were walking around.

After two times, the security captain finally showed some characteristics different from walking corpses, and began to think.

"Let's not run away." He said angrily, "Just wait here."

The little brothers think so.

As a result, this time, the dog walker seemed to know that they were waiting in the East District, so he didn't go to the West District any more.

Another bang.

A younger brother discovered the truth: "In the elevator!"

The captain gave an order: "Pry!"

When I opened the elevator, I found that the elevators that had stopped on the first floor had all gone to the second floor, and the braking measures of the elevators were completely destroyed.

The security captain looked gloomy, glanced upstairs, and said, "Line up!"

The younger brothers stood in a row, including the captain, a total of ten people.

"Two people, start from the second floor, search for me!"

The Provincial Library has 8 elevators, 4 in the east and 1 in the east. No. 4-[-] are in the east area, and the rest are in the west area.

Ji Jingzhe and Wei Chi first pried open the elevator door on the fourth floor—it was said that they pried open together, but Wei Chi didn't use much force at all. Ji Jingzhe didn't know what he had been eating for the past few years, and his strength was terrifying.

In the afternoon, they learned how to destroy the elevator braking device in the comics, and sold it now. Ji Jingzhe performed a miracle with great strength, and easily knocked down the elevator hovering on the first floor.

In fact, if it was just them alone, there would be no need for such a big battle, but whoever made Wei Yuan trapped on the first floor, even if he pried open the elevator door, would be dead in an elevator. Of course, the older brother should think about the younger brother.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the security guards were led to the west area, Wei Chi jumped into the No. 3 elevator, carried Fang Qingdi on his back, and climbed up the steel cable. When he reached the top, Fang Qingdi reached out and touched the ceiling, and the ceiling became A door of light.

The old man was very stunned: "It's actually true."

Wei Chi climbed more than ten meters with an old man who weighed □ □ jin on his back, his forearms were shaking a little: "Go up first, Mr. Fang."

Fang Qingdi: "Okay, okay."

After Fang Qingdi was sent up, Wei Chi kicked the elevator wall three times, which was the secret signal he had discussed with Ji Jingzhe, indicating that he could go out here.

The sound can easily spread in the ventilation shaft, Ji Jingzhe quickly answered him three times, and then he drilled up and entered the light door.

The next second, Wei Chi returned to the reading room. It was afternoon and the sun was shining outside the window.He was sitting on the ground, holding the open copy of "The Art of Winemaking" in his hand.

He stood up, put the book back on the shelf, and was about to go out to find Ji Jingzhe, when he suddenly heard an exaggerated "Wow" not far away.

He looked over and saw that the cry was from Fang Qingdi. The old man was sitting in the reading area, and suddenly stood up from the stool. He called out, which probably included "survival after disaster", "fantasy experience", "heaven is not dead" I" felt all kinds of emotions, but because of the noise in the reading room, the people around me looked at me with contempt.

Wei Chi walked towards him.

Fang Qingdi saw him from a distance, dropped the books on the table and walked towards him, her cheeks were red, her eyes sparkled, she was probably too happy: "Xiao Wei!"

The two approached, Fang Qingdi excitedly held his hand: "Xiao Wei!"

The borrower at the workbench cleared his throat and said, "Please don't make any noise."

Wei Chi glanced at her, it was the girl who stabbed the architect to death, smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry." Turning to Fang Qingdi, he said, "Old Fang, let's go out and talk."

Fang Qingdi lowered his voice, but he was obviously still very excited: "Okay, okay..."

Before going out, Wei Chi took a quick glance and saw Tang Muhua sitting by the window and hardworking, and the architect who was stabbed to death.

Time did go back to that day, and all the scenes coincided with that time.

As soon as they left the reading room, they met Wei Yuan and Ji Jingzhe who ran up the safety stairs in the elevator.After a few people met, they left the library together, found a restaurant, and discussed while filling their stomachs.

Wei Yuan first explained the situation when he came out - nothing happened, the security guards were led upstairs, and he slipped into the elevator room easily - the security guards even helped him pry open the No. 3 elevator.

"It's good for you, climb up from the fourth floor, only two floors." He complained, "I climbed a full six floors! I'm exhausted!"

Wei Chi said: "To be honest, I was quite afraid that you would be arrested on the fourth floor."

Wei Yuan: "How to say?"

Wei Chi: "Although they didn't know which floor we were playing tricks on at first, as long as they came up to take a look, they would find that only the elevator on the fourth floor was broken. They can always run faster than you can climb."

Wei Yuan said: "It's a bit dangerous to say that. When I climbed to the fourth floor, I heard someone breaking the door."

Wei Chi: "What door?"

Wei Yuan: "The elevator door."

Wei Chi: "We pried open the elevator door on the fourth floor, otherwise how would we get in?"

With half a preserved egg stuffed in Ji Jingzhe's mouth, she raised her hand and said vaguely, "I'll shut it down."

Wei Yuan: "What are you talking about? Can you talk after eating clean?"

But Wei Chi understood: "Did you close it? How did you close it?" How could a person be able to close the elevator door when he was hanging on the elevator cable and couldn't press the opening key outside?

Ji Jingzhe swallowed the preserved egg, with a bit of soy sauce on his lips, and proudly said: "Strength works miracles."

Wei Yuan: "Awesome, short lady!"

Ji Jingzhe: "If you are so mean, be careful and I will let your brother beat you up!"

Wei Yuan: "You give in, you give in~ Look, my brother ignores you~"

Fang Qingdi didn’t speak all the time, Gein was eating like crazy—although he wasn’t physically hungry, but psychologically he only ate a few snacks for more than two days, which is quite a serious matter for the elderly—and ended up throwing himself When he was choking, Wei Chi poured water for him and comforted him. The old man managed to recover, but instead he gave the two childish ghosts a thumbs up: "Okay! It's good if you guys have a good relationship!"

After Wei Chi and Fang Qingdi added WeChat, the old man decided to look through ancient books to see if there was any record of such an evil thing in the extensive unofficial history of ghosts and monsters.

They went home after dinner.Fang Qingdi took the subway and left by himself. The three of Wei Chi and his family lived not far away, walking in one direction, passing the library on the way, and found an ambulance parked in front of the hospital.

After all, just after coming out, the three of them were a little concerned, and Wei Yuan asked a crowd of onlookers: "Brother, what's the matter?"

The crowd said: "I don't know, a lunatic suddenly fell ill."

After standing in the crowd and waiting for a while, they saw Zhang Chenggong being carried out.It is said that Zhang Chenggong suddenly huddled under the table in a very bizarre posture like crazy - Weiyuan has the best say on how bizarre it is.

"He came out with me." Wei Yuan sighed, "Maybe it's better for him to forget."

When Wei Yuan mentioned this, Wei Chi fell into deep thought again.

It seemed to be that paradox again, what he had thought of - no matter how miserable the death was inside, the people who came out were not harmed except for having no memory.

So what does the "world" really want?

Does survival really make sense?
