Aoba Office

"The escape passage in the corridor, the sound of someone running at night." The boy repeated the last sentence.

It seemed like nothing could be asked.

Daxia thought for a long time and asked a few more keywords, but after hearing the boy's repeated answers, he gave up.

He walked to the door of the room, turned the door handle, and the door opened smoothly.

"Uncle, are you leaving?" the boy suddenly asked.

Daxia looked at the boy and the body on the ground, hesitating a little.

This should be a key node in a certain plot, and this question needs to be answered with caution.

"What are you going to do next?" Daxia asked without answering.

The boy lowered his head, "I don't know. Mom is dead...and dad is dead..."

Under normal circumstances, the police should be called at this time.

"Do you have a phone number? Call the police. I killed the person." Daxia said.

In the real world, he would never be able to say this so easily.

"Police?" The boy raised his head, "I don't have a phone."

"There's no phone at home? Do you have a mobile phone?" Daxia remembered that he had indeed never seen a phone in this room. There seems to be no communication equipment in the game.

The boy still shook his head, "Go out and turn right. Walk for ten minutes and you will see the police station. Uncle, can you go with me?"

Another choice.

Daxia carefully thought about the logic of the game and the creator's intentions, and considered what kind of answer he should give.

I felt uneasy.

I kept thinking about how the spirit of that game killed those "players" step by step.

The purpose of the game itself is not to let players experience fun, not to let players pass levels, but to kill players. Those games have no winning endings at all, and the minds controlling the games are trying every possible way to kill the player.

The game that Da Xia went through is probably the same.

I didn't feel any malice or negative energy, but such a supernatural event itself meant bad results.

Daxia considered ending, "Then I'll take you to the police station."

Unarmed and without any equipment, the protagonist in the game is always easily killed. The only way to avoid death is not to "anger" these NPCs.

Daxia chose to agree to the boy's request.

The boy walked around his mother's body, walked towards the prawn, and held out his hand.

The prawn took his hand.

The texture is similar to holding a living child's hand, no different. But this situation further proves that the situation at hand is very bad.

Da Xia didn't think much and just pulled the little boy out of the room.

The lights in the corridor flickered on and off, with poor contact, and several bulbs blew out, leaving many dark places in the corridor.

No running sounds were heard in the escape stairs.

Da Xia took the boy to the elevator. The elevator is in the other direction of the corridor.

There are a total of thirteen rooms on one floor, arranged side by side, all on the left hand side. To the right is pure wall. There are escape stairs at either end of the corridor and an elevator in the middle. The elevator is installed outside the entire building wall. It is said that it was added many years after the building was built. According to the detective's investigation, the elevator was installed after the murder he was investigating occurred.

The elevator stopped at the tenth floor.

Da Xia pressed the elevator button, and the lights on the elevator began to change.

He recalled the residents on the tenth floor.

There should be an old man who is lonely. His wife, children and grandchildren are all dead, and no one has discovered the cause of death. There was also a worker who worked at many construction sites and drank too much. As a result, his wife ran away and disappeared without a child. There is only one left...

I can't remember the prawns.

If Da Xia is Lord Thunder, he has already completed the strategy process. He knows how to get through the levels smoothly.

I don't see anything relevant in Prawn's consciousness. He wanted to clear the level, and he also knew that this was the space formed by the game "Souling". However, he didn't seem to equate his identity with that of a detective.

He was wearing the same clothes he wore during the live broadcast, and there was nothing in his pockets. He did not have the notebook that the detective carried with him, nor did he bring the case information that the detective had found before arriving at the apartment.

I'm not sure whether I should take on the role of a detective controlled by the player to deal with the current situation.

Maybe what prawns did by adapting to circumstances was the right thing to do.

Ding--

The elevator reached the fourth floor.

The elevator door opened slowly, but got stuck halfway. Like a dying old man, his movements were slow and laborious.

Daxia pulled the boy into the elevator.

The elevator buttons are divided into two rows. The button on the fourth floor was broken and did not light up, while the button on the thirteenth floor seemed to have a bad contact and kept flashing.

This is also the case in the game.

Da Xia didn't care about this and pressed the first floor button to close the elevator door.

The elevator door did not close, and the button on the first floor changed back to yellow after changing from light yellow to red.

Da Xia pressed the button again, but there was still no movement in the elevator.

Stab...

The button on the thirteenth floor suddenly went out, and there was an electric sound.

Stinging, tingling...

The sound of electricity kept going, starting from the thirteenth floor on the top floor, twelve, eleven, ten...the buttons kept going off.

Da Xia was startled and immediately wanted to drag the boy out of the elevator.

No matter what happened, it was always a foreshadowing of the plot.

Daxia didn't run out. The boy stood there, motionless, with his head raised and his eyes wide, looking at the ceiling of the elevator.

The prawn froze.

The button light on the sixth floor has gone out.

Daxia wanted to throw the boy away and run out, but his hand was grabbed and he couldn't break free. The boy didn't use much strength, but the prawn just couldn't get away.

It's like a fixed plot.

The prawn trembled twice and slowly raised its head.

The ceiling of the elevator is somewhat different from the surrounding car walls. Like the floor in the elevator, it is decorated with patterns. A very simple grid pattern, the main color is beige, and the border of each grid is thick black. Maybe it was because no one had cleaned it, and it was a little gray, so it was cleaner than the blackened floor.

The light in the elevator is installed in the middle of the ceiling. It is a yellowish white translucent board, which may have LED lights installed inside.

Now, there's a shadow behind that board.

It was half a human face.

The strange thing is that under such circumstances, the prawn clearly saw each other's eyes.

His dark eyes were watching everything in the elevator, watching the prawn and the boy.

Stab!

Card--

The elevator doors are slowly closing.

Da Xia lowered his head and saw that the button on the fourth floor had gone out.

The elevator door, which had been slow just now, closed smoothly this time.

Snapped!

The overhead light blew out, and the elevator was pitch black.

Da Xia asked nervously: "What was that just now? Is there a ghost in the elevator? Hello!"

He pulled a few times, but the boy didn't answer. With a little exertion, Daxia felt the boy's arm hang down.

Like...

Like a boy's hand, broken...

Da Xia trembled and raised his hand.

I didn't feel the weight of the thing in my hand.

He touched it with his other hand.

The child's hand was still in the palm of his hand, unchanged. The palm is followed by the wrist, and after the wrist it should be the forearm, and then... it's gone.

No wounds or blood were touched.

Like a dummy's hand.

The prawn took a step back and dropped what he was holding.

He was leaning against the elevator wall when he suddenly felt a pair of hands pressing on his spine.

Good night everyone~
