Chapter 42 The Disappearing Door
"Ding Dong"
The elevator door slowly opened, and the white light was cast on the dark corridor. This corridor was not much different from the lower floor. Chen Ke looked at the elevator indicator suspiciously. The orange LED number flashed, indicating that it was currently on the 1st floor.
Fuck you...
Chen Ke had just planned to go down to the lobby on the first floor to take a look. He was thinking about whether he could meet more dogs there, and he did press the 1st floor just now.
When the elevator started, he felt surprised. It was obviously going downstairs, but why did it feel like the elevator was going up. He slowly walked out of the elevator, took out the PPK.45, slowly installed the silencer, and then scanned the entire corridor.
No one, and no sound.
There were four glass doors on each side of the corridor. Chen Ke muttered that it was also an office room similar to the 8th floor? Looking through the glass, there were rows of computer workstations.
He reached out and tried to pull a glass door next to him, but it was not locked. He slightly opened the glass door and looked into the gap. An illogical scene appeared in front of him.
There was another corridor in the crack of the door, with four doors on both sides of the corridor, and an elevator at the end of the corridor.
Chen Ke moved his eyes away from the crack of the door and looked inside through the glass door. It was a normal office room, with rows of computer workstations, which was different from what he had seen before.
He was unwilling to give up, so he opened the door a little and looked out from the inside of the glass door. It was pitch black.
Chen Ke figured it out now. It seemed that in the black box space, physical distance and space were chaotically intertwined, although Chen Ke was not sure whether this was normal.
The surroundings were a little abnormally quiet. It shouldn't be possible to hear even gunshots. He hesitated whether to walk into the corridor behind the glass door to take a look, but he was afraid that he would be trapped.
Let's go and take a look at the other doors first!
Chen Ke closed the glass door and opened the other three doors to take a look. An uneasy expression appeared on his face, because every time he opened the door, there were corridors that looked exactly the same.
For some reason, he had a bad feeling, so he retreated to the elevator entrance and pressed the button.
Hmm? The button light was off. He frowned and pressed the button continuously, but there was no response.
He raised his gun and looked around. This quiet and empty corridor seemed a little dangerous to him now.
He did not sense any murderous aura or hear any noise, as if he had fallen into a paradox trap.
Chen Ke saw the safety passage on the side of the elevator door. The yellow wooden double doors had a gap. When he first came here, he went down to the lobby on the first floor from the safety passage.
He walked over gently and opened the double doors. There was a wall inside the door...
The bolts of the double doors burst out from the cracks in the wall, and the whole door pressed on Chen Ke's shoulder. The other door fell directly to the ground with a "bang", and the abrupt noise echoed in the corridor.
He leaned the other door against the wall and approached the wall to study it carefully. This wall is made of red square bricks. Judging from the quality of the bricks, it has been a few years.
Turning around, they grew out of the door frame abruptly, occupying the door's position, causing the bolts to break out of the door frame and causing the door to fall to the ground.
So under normal circumstances, this door should not be able to fit into this door frame. A drop of cold sweat slid down Chen Ke's forehead. The brick was formed the moment he opened the door.
Something is playing tricks on him.
The current situation is probably beyond the scope of the black box space. The Administration cannot play this trick with the investigators. There is no reason for this.
It is very likely that the corridor behind the glass door was also formed the moment he pushed open the glass door. Something wants to trap it here.
Damn, why?
Is it a protection mechanism set up by the Administration in the black box space? Use this trap to trap the intruder when an illegal intrusion is discovered?
Thinking of this possibility, Chen Ke's hair stood on end. If this is true, I am afraid I will have to confess.
He has no way to deal with the siege of the Administration, at least it is completely impossible for him at the moment. Moreover, in a world with a sound legal system, even if Chen Ke could kill the people of the Administration, the whole country would not give up. Maybe in the end, they would send "Superman" to deal with him.
It is not wise to confront people whenever you see them. Chen Ke would not kill people unless they confront him in the face.
There was no way, Chen Ke could only turn back to the corridor. The elevator did not respond, and the safety passage was blocked by the wall. There were only four glass double doors left.
He pushed the door open and looked inside. The corridor was quiet, no different from the corridor he was in. But the indicator light of the elevator at the end of the corridor was flashing.
Is the elevator working?
Chen Ke looked back at the elevator at the end of his corridor, and the indicator light did not respond. Looking at the corridor in the door, Chen Ke hesitated. Should he go in or not?
"Pah."
Just as he stopped, someone pushed him from behind, and he stumbled into the corridor in the glass door.
Chen Ke's head seemed to explode, and his hair stood up nervously. He immediately turned back and aimed his gun, but there was nothing behind him.
There is not even a glass door.
Chen Ke looked back again. He was now in the middle of the corridor, with the elevator behind him flashing the floor indicator light.
This is too unreasonable!
He came to the elevator door, pressed the down button, looked up at the floor indicator light, and the number stopped at 99999.
Chen Ke looked at the emergency passage on the side. The yellow wooden double door had a gap...
It was pitch black behind the crack. He walked slowly over and gently closed the door.
"Bang."
The double door was suddenly "rejected" from the door frame and fell straight to the floor. A concrete wall appeared in front of him in the door frame.
Chen Ke kicked the wall and turned to walk towards the nearby glass double door. There was only his reflection on the glass door. Behind the door was still a normal office space, but he knew that as long as he opened the door, the back would become an aisle.
What if he didn't touch the door?
Chen Ke stepped back a few steps, raised his pistol and fired continuously at the glass door.
Something strange happened. The flame .45acp bullet passed through the glass door, smashing the computer, office chair and cubicle behind the door. The A4 paper on the copier was ignited and burned fiercely, but the glass door was intact, without even a bullet hole.
Chen Ke pinched his chin and thought, and came to two conclusions: either the door ignored the existence of the bullet, or the bullet ignored the existence of the door.
Although it sounds similar, it is actually very different.
The door ignored the bullet, which means that the door has thoughts and can decide who to let into the real "behind the door" space.
The bullet ignored the door, which means that the door does not exist at all.
If the door has thoughts, then the door is either an alien or a monster. But there is no information box in Chen Ke's vision, and he did not feel the murderous aura.
So he concluded that the "door" does not exist. Something wants to play a "game" with him. That thing just pushed him and sent him deeper into the trap, and now Chen Ke wants to lead it out.
Chen Kezhan slowly opened the door again, while paying attention to the movement behind him. No matter what appears behind him at that time, he will shoot all the flame bullets in the magazine into the body of that thing.
However, when Chen Ke opened the glass door, the life countdown in the corner of his eye suddenly jumped wildly.
"+1 hour"
"+1 hour"
"+1 hour"
"Lifespan has reached the upper limit..."
"..."
In the corridor behind the door, a big dog about 1 meter tall was squatting on the ground, glaring at Chen Ke, as if it was angry because Chen Ke tried to step into its territory.
Its jaw was split in half, and a sticky red liquid that was not sure whether it was blood or saliva dripped down the split jaw to the ground.
Its dark, furless body was muscular, with cracks similar to scars all over its surface, and purple liquid was secreted from inside.
Chen Ke felt that it was better to avoid touching those liquids.
The strange dog was covered with a blue outline in Chen Ke's vision, and five blue entries and two red entries were listed beside it:
[Monster rating of the Administration:? ? 】
[Venom Splash]
[Strength Enhancement]
[Dark Energy Damage]
[Corrosion Immunity]
==================
[Discipline Weakness]
[Fire Weakness]
Chen Ke guessed that the blue entry was the monster's buff effect, and the red entry was the monster's weakness attribute.
This was a new ability that appeared after he had hastily flipped through the catalog at the back of "Jack Maya's Investigator's Guide: The Road to Promotion from D to S!": automatically marking the attribute entries compiled and classified by the Administration next to the monster.
The marked entries should be limited to those in that booklet, or perhaps those entries are all.
The two types of monsters that Chen Ke had foreseen during this period, the aliens and the monsters in the spirit explosion space, had no names. This was also because he had not flipped through books similar to the Monster Encyclopedia, and the monster ratings of the Administration were displayed as question marks, which was also because he had not flipped through the Monster Encyclopedia.
Let's call this ability "Life Archives".
Since I don't know the name of the monster because I haven't seen the monster encyclopedia, why can the name be seen in the holy relic?
Now is not the time to think about this question. Although Chen Ke knows that this strange dog is weak to fire and discipline, and he happens to have these two types of weapons, this is not a game after all, and he can't see his DPS or the blood bar of the monster.
He doesn't know how many fire bullets it takes to kill this dog. There are only six discipline bullets left, and he is now in the black box space. If he uses the psychic pistol at will and alarms the management bureau, he will have no way to escape.
This dog is a bit difficult. Judging from the increased lifespan after absorbing the murderous aura, this dog is actually at the same level as the clam god in the sewer... And this dog is a native monster in the black box space, and it may be more powerful than the alienated individual.
Chen Ke decided to quietly close the door and not provoke the dog. At the same time, he always pays attention to the movements behind him to prevent himself from being pushed into the corridor.
"Just pretend you didn't see anything." Chen Ke said secretly, slowly closing the glass door.
Just as the door was about to close, Chen Ke's hands were empty, and suddenly, the two emotions of surprise and confusion squeezed his face.
The door in his hand was gone.
"Fuck... Where's my door?"
"Huh... Gurgle Gurgle Gurgle..."
The black dog stood up on all fours and growled at Chen Ke. The sound was like an old man sighing. Chen Ke lowered his body and raised his gun. Almost at the same time, the dog took a step and approached Chen Ke at an unbelievable speed.
