Chapter 365
Ding dong——
The elevator door opened in front of Gao Hai, revealing a blood-red interior space where almost nothing could be seen clearly.
Squinting his eyes, it took Gao Hai some time to adapt to the light inside, and he could probably see what was going on.
Then quickly, he discovered a rule sheet posted on the wall in this narrow elevator space.
[Elevator usage rules]
[Please make sure you can clearly read the contents of this code when using the elevator, otherwise you may be lost forever]
[Code Producer: Life Club]
[Editor: Masaki Ebisaka]
Chapter 61: Rules for using weird elevators and each other’s experiences
[Elevator usage rules]
[Those who can reach this place and see this code will undoubtedly have a deep understanding of the many secrets in this school. You may have been in deep danger and can only run for your life to find a chance to survive; maybe you have traced various keys and are trying to trace deeper secrets. In any case, it is impossible for a person who knows nothing about the secrets of this school to come here and see this code]
[For those who can get here, I will not give any advice. If you can get here, you must have decided whether to face the danger or seek survival. Therefore, I will only tell you how to use this elevator, and some of our Summarized rules and thoughts, as well as some precautions that must be treated with caution]
[1. The elevators in this place are different from the elevators you see in other similar places. The structural distortion of space is hidden deep in various places in this school, and this elevator is equivalent to a link point that can help You go to different areas that are inaccessible under normal circumstances. Each button corresponds to a specific time and space environment, so be sure to confirm where you want to go when pressing the button]
[Why this elevator located in the attached teaching building has such a special function? We have conducted many investigations on this point, but we have never come to an effective conclusion. The only thing that is certain is that it should suddenly have this function one day. Before that day, the elevator was just like other places in the school, just a dangerous area with abnormal phenomena. If you find a possible source of this change, I hope you can fill it in in the blank space on this table. This may help us all find out more quickly what is going on here and figure out what happened. What is the source of the anomaly]
[2. There are 7 buttons in the elevator, namely "1st floor", "2nd floor", "3rd floor", "5th floor", "open door", "close door" and "alarm". Each button here They all correspond to an area, and you will reach the corresponding location after pressing it. Based on our exploration of this elevator, the corresponding situations of these buttons have been summarized】
[(1) After pressing the "1st Floor" button, you will arrive at a sunny and normal Yeluoshan Middle School with many students. Yes, this is the best way to get back to the "surface", but please note that students at this time will chase you without hesitation once they discover you, and for you who already know something, forcefully You won’t stay on the “surface” for too long, and you will automatically enter other depths soon, so you have to think carefully whether you want to go here]
[(2) After pressing the "2nd floor" button, you will arrive at a place with a large number of students, and you will not be able to find the classmates you knew before. This place looks similar to a normal Yeluoshan Middle School, but it exists in The students here are all strangers to you, and they are very aggressive. I believe you will not be unfamiliar with this place. After all, everyone who comes here has a similar experience initially]
[(3) After pressing the "3rd floor" button, you will arrive at a strange place where lights are on everywhere and you can hear the noise of students, but no one can be seen. This level is relatively safe because the most troublesome students generally don't move around on this level. But at the same time, another thing is active on this layer, or only one type of thing is active. I think you may have seen it, those "weird stories" in various stories, those absurd horror legends, they are all here]
[(4) After pressing the "5th floor" button, you will arrive at a place that is very similar to "3rd floor", but the lights are all dark red, and there will be a slight visual distortion effect in the area without red light. , the situation here is very complicated, sometimes it is extremely dangerous, and sometimes it seems to be very safe. We have conducted several investigations here, but we have not been able to achieve any results. The only thing that is certain is that the source of danger at this level does not need to be "announced in advance". You will not get any warning before being attacked, such as picking up a newspaper or seeing some files, so unless you have something If you have no reason to come, try to stay away from this level]
[(5) After pressing the "Alarm" button, you will arrive at a ruins, which may be in an underground area or above ground. This will change every time. At present, we have not been able to summarize any rules. It's fairly safe here during the day, as long as you don't walk too far in the forest and stay in the abandoned building area, you won't be attacked during the day. As for nighttime, run as far away from here as possible, and try not to spend the night in this area, if you don’t want to be discovered by something very bad]
[(6) After pressing the "Open Door" button, you will see that there is a blur behind the opened door. Everything looks like a strange place covered by a layer of pixels. It seems like it is still Yeluoshan Middle School. , but there is not even a single thing that looks clearer here. We did not explore this strange place in depth because it is too weird. Maybe you will be interested in investigating here]
[(7) The person who presses the "close door" button has never come back. Don't try to do this until you are at the end of the road. No one knows what kind of ending you will have.]
[3. Under normal circumstances, the location of this elevator is in the attached teaching building, and it is randomly replaced between the two elevators in the building. If the elevator you open does not have a red light on, do not enter it under any circumstances. It should be noted that if you are in a ruins area, the location of this elevator will be more random. It may exist behind the door of any room from the 10th underground floor to the 5th floor above ground. You'd better find it in advance. Position, jam the door and don’t let it close, otherwise you may not have time to escape when you are in danger]
[4. Occasionally, announcements will sound in the elevator while moving, and the content of the announcements will basically be related to a certain "weird story". Once you hear the broadcast, you must immediately cover your ears or find something to plug them. Don’t listen to it. If you hear clearly the strange story described on the radio, then there is a high chance that it will be standing outside after the elevator door opens]
[5. Once the elevator stops before reaching your destination, you have to be extremely vigilant. At this time, there is a high possibility that another "passenger" has come in. Don't try to communicate, don't pay attention, don't stare, whatever it is, don't pay attention to the other person. And you must ensure that the other person leaves the elevator before you can leave. You are basically safe in the elevator, but if that thing follows you out, what will happen is beyond our expectation]
[6. If the elevator suddenly stops running and loses power, this is a normal phenomenon, so don’t worry about it. At this time, you only need to stand in the elevator and wait quietly. The elevator will return to normal soon, but after the elevator resumes operation, you must remain quiet throughout the process]
[7. On rare occasions, the elevator will lead to a dark place where nothing can be seen. People who exit the elevator at this point never come back, but their belongings sometimes appear in the elevator afterwards, and sometimes their messages appear on the wall. Without exception, these messages will persuade friends, classmates and colleagues who know the missing persons to avoid this dark floor. I don’t think this is a good thing, but we really don’t know what it means because no one has ever entered there. Came back]
[8. Sometimes nothing happens when you press multiple buttons. Sometimes the elevator passes one place after another in the order of pressing the buttons, but there is a third theory that the elevator will arrive at a completely new place. I don't know when this statement spread, but in my opinion, it is undoubtedly risking one's own life. So, please don’t do this, you just need to confirm your destination and then just press that button]
[9. Some survivors who used the elevator claimed to have seen the "4th floor" button, but they did not press that button. At least those who came back alive to report the incident did not press it. It has not yet been determined whether this matter is true or false, but referring to what was mentioned before, you need to be cautious and careful when you are here now, so if you see abnormal buttons, please don’t mess around]
[If you have any content you wish to add, there are a lot of blank spaces left on this form. You are welcome to record it, but please try not to erase the existing text. Reprinting this notice is very troublesome]
[I am Ebisaka Masaki from the Life Club, please do not try to find us, we are no longer accepting new members]
[Wish you good luck, stranger]
This rule sheet, or guidance notice, is the longest one Gao Hai has seen since he entered Yeluoshan Middle School. The various situations described in the floor buttons are quite concerning to Gao Hai. He soon realized that this eerie elevator was most likely the passage used by researchers at Yeluoshan Middle School.
It can go to different depths, ensuring the personal safety of passengers in the elevator. Compared with the elevator of a school building, it is a bit too large. It looks like a freight elevator and can obviously hold a lot of things. Combining these characteristics, Gao Hai immediately thought of the group of beasts in [Gao Tianyuan] and the unscrupulous researchers under their leadership. For those people, isn't this elevator an excellent experimental observation point?
However, this is just Gao Hai's own speculation, and he has no conclusive evidence.
In addition, according to the police officer's feedback, the other party seemed to have found the elevator by accident, and pressed the buttons for floors 1, 2, 3, and 4 in succession. On the 1st and 2nd floors, the police officers did not sense Gao Hai's aura and therefore did not leave. On the third floor, because the space distance between the two parties became shorter, the police officers detected Gao Hai's aura and also discovered an ongoing battle. The crisis was brewing, so as soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I shot each of my two core obsessions.
It was also because of the police's operation that Gao Hai, who was in a dark area under the blood-red lights, saw the elevator opening on its own not far away and was able to enter it.
{Fujiwara Chika: Ah Hai, what's going on inside? }
For safety reasons, Chika, who stood at the elevator door, asked carefully through the mental link instead of following in.
{Takahashi: There's no problem at the moment. There's also a rather complicated rule sheet inside, which looks like it was summed up by the survivors. Well... Anyway, with this elevator, we should be able to go to the "depth" where Ms. Kuma and Ms. Goto are and reunite with them. Well, there's no need to wait outside, you come in first}
After briefly explaining his findings, Takahashi motioned Chika to follow him into the elevator.
Before pressing the elevator button, Takahashi first looked at the numbers displayed on several buttons, and after confirming that they were 1, 2, 3, and 5, and that there was no number 4, he carefully pressed the 3 button, and through the mental link, he asked Yotsuya Miko to tell Kuma the situation, motioning them to wait a little longer.
Mahi was not idle at this time either, and soon a mental link was transmitted, and it was still bad news that made people unable to calm down.
{Shijo Maki: In the courtyard, there was nothing to be found except for you, Haijun, and the "corpses" of several others. Although we thought about trying some more radical methods during the investigation, Miss Aoyama stopped us.}
{Shijo Maki: But the problem now is that at first, there were no students in the windows around, but now more and more students are gathering by the windows, looking down at us. The gazes of those things give me a very bad feeling. I'm afraid we have to find a way to evacuate the courtyard area, at least to a place where those things can't see us.}
Have the weird students in the main teaching building begun to realize that there are intruders in the courtyard area?
Escape... Maki said before that the door can't be opened anymore, but... maybe we can try to fly out from above? I feel that this idea may work, but I don't know if any of those players can fly, otherwise it's not so easy to climb out of the height of five or six floors.
Buzz——
The elevator started running automatically shortly after Gao Hai pressed the button.
Under the dark red light, Gao Hai and Qianhua stood in silence, waiting for this thing to reach its destination.
But just as Gao Hai had guessed in his heart when he pressed the button, the elevator was running, and when Gao Hai had no idea whether it was going up, down, or left or right, the broadcast in the elevator suddenly sounded.
[Welcome to the Ghost Talk Broadcast]
The hoarse voice sounded from somewhere outside the elevator, and it became dull when it entered the elevator.
[Today, let's talk about the ghost talk about "elevators"]
Chapter 62: Abnormal events in the elevator and the "passengers" who arrived
To be honest, Gao Hai felt that the speed at which the broadcast sounded could be described as "impatient".
Starting from the moment the elevator door closed, it sounded in less than a minute after it started running. It was as if something had been staring at him and Fujiwara Chika in the elevator room, and as soon as the conditions were met, it quickly pressed the play button to start the work.
Although Gao Hai had expected from the moment he saw this rule that he would definitely encounter the broadcast due to his special characteristics, this was too fast, wasn't it?
This feeling of being watched by someone... Wait, could it be that the broadcaster is not a ghost story, but a person?
The abnormal phenomenon happened so quickly and so unexpectedly that Gao Hai couldn't help but think of a certain possibility.
From entering Yeluoshan Middle School to now, the players have never encountered anyone from [Takamagahara].
In the activities of the two rounds, Jianzi has not found any traces of [umbilical cord], and has not seen the connection between this copy and those things. Nothing has come to the players to make any deals, or simply created a few ghost stories to come in. It can be said that compared to the previous two investigations and explorations, this time the people of [Takamagahara] are as if they don't exist.
But they can't really do nothing and watch the players running around in the copy indifferently. After all, the group of rubbish who survived by chance now have to rely on the copy of [School Ghost Talk] to maintain their existence. Unless they find a way to leave the copy and continue to exist, their lives are one with this ghost place. Because of this, they couldn't just watch a large group of players jumping around in the dungeon, especially when Gao Hai, who had entered the dungeon for the third time and destroyed the dungeon areas of Fujika Middle School and Hayate Elementary School, was there.
In the final analysis, the fact that these gutter borers could survive until now was enough to prove how afraid they were of death. They had also seen twice what would happen after the core obsession of the dungeon was cracked. I believe that these things should be a little afraid of Gao Hai's watch that can absorb all evil souls.
But then again, the people of [Takamagahara] in Fujika Middle School could only observe with the help of mirrors and other objects in the inner mental hospital, and basically had no way to interfere with the actions of the players. Although these guys in Hayate Elementary School tried to talk to Gao Hai, and the mad Toyama Akira was brought in, it was very likely related to them, but that was all, and they had no control over the subsequent developments.
That is to say, the interference degree that these guys can achieve in the dungeon is not very high. Now that the dungeon has undergone drastic changes, the interference ability may be even worse. Therefore, it is normal that I have not found any traces of them since entering Yeluoshan Middle School. But now that I have gone deep into the deep area of this dungeon, I have entered a depth that ordinary players cannot reach. The possibility that people from [Takamagahara] can interfere with me is indeed greater.
[The elevator was invented in 1853, when the world's first safety elevator appeared. Of course, if the standard is relaxed to vertical lifting machinery, it can be traced back to a very distant ancient time]
[But this is not the problem we are talking about. The focus of ghost stories is on the bizarre and weird, not on the principle of a thing. In the final analysis, horror always comes from the unknown. Once something becomes known from the unknown, it loses its original sense of horror and weirdness...]
The hoarse voice on the radio is like telling a story.
Gao Hai almost immediately covered his ears, and Fujiwara Chika next to him immediately did the same thing. Both of them had no intention of listening to what this thing was saying. However, the sound of the broadcast was still clear. Even though he covered his ears, he could not stop the sound from entering his ears. It even became clearer.
Is it really not that easy?
[The reason why the elevator can become a place for ghost stories is closely related to the special nature of the elevator itself...]
The voice in the broadcast seemed to gradually become clearer. It can be roughly heard that it is the voice of a young man. The noise in the voice gradually decreased, and it seemed to have some unknown changes as the transmission time continued to extend.
It is not possible to simply prevent the sound from entering the ears through physical means, so...
The sudden situation in front of him did not make Gao Hai panic. He quickly reached out and held Chika next to him in his arms, causing the girl to subconsciously raise her head and look at Gao Hai. Then the blessing of Chiyoko Hachiya was quickly activated. In the blink of an eye, Gao Hai completely deleted the part of the broadcast content in his mind, causing him to directly lose his memory of this aspect.
Snap!
Then, the hand knife that had been tested many times on Yotsuya Miko, which could make people sleep like babies, was used. Since Chika's physical fitness had been strengthened many times and exceeded the upper limit of the human body, and she was also cooperating, Gao Hai knocked Chika unconscious without much effort.
[Electricity... Zizi... Elevator...]
The sound of the broadcast began to jam, and the noise that had originally subsided became noisy again.
It was really a very easy mechanism to deal with.
Holding Chika in one hand and holding a pistol in the other, Gao Hai took a step back, leaning against the wall on one side of the elevator, silently waiting for the elevator to reach its destination.
Every one or two minutes, he would delete his memory, and it was a permanent deletion that could not be restored, ensuring that he could not remember even a half sentence of the broadcast.
Such a countermeasure made the sound of the broadcast more and more confused, and soon it was completely impossible to recognize what was being said in it. Only continuous noises were left, and mixed in with sounds like the howling and roaring of some inhuman monsters.
Although the power of blessing was used to crack the working method of this thing, as time went by, the broadcast that could not find the source of the sound had completely become a source of noise pollution, which made Gao Hai in the elevator gradually irritated.
How long will this ghost thing keep calling?
Gao Hai frowned and did not act rashly. He just continued to stand silently by the side of the elevator with Qianhua in his arms.
He vaguely felt that from those noisy voices, some kind of vicious emotions were brewing and gathering, waiting for the moment of explosion in the dark.
What's going on? I have obviously cracked this broadcast by deleting memory. But why didn't this thing collapse like when Xiong Mi dealt with the imageless ghost story in the first round, but it was undergoing new changes?
These unpleasant noises became louder and louder, and the speed of speech could be felt to be getting faster and faster. Although I couldn't understand the content at all, but... huh?
No.
Gao Hai suddenly realized the problem.
Those noisy noises were not completely unreasonable.
His pupils suddenly turned blood red at this moment. The blessing of the runaway greatly enhanced Gao Hai's senses in an instant, so the originally unreasonable noise began to become clear as Gao Hai's hearing was strengthened.
[Zizizi The closed and blocked elevator naturally puts people in a state of being shielded from information. Zizizi What you will see before the elevator door opens is unpredictable. Zizizi and the sudden stop of the elevator itself are also a source of horror. Zizizi——]
That is indeed not noise.
That is a voice that is extremely fast and has exceeded the limit of human ear recognition. Because the speed of speech is so fast that Gao Hai can only hear pure noise and cannot understand the content.
I can't understand the reason for doing this. The speed of speech is so fast that even if the broadcaster has finished telling a complete story, the players in the elevator can't understand it at all, and can't understand what they heard at all. This approach is clearly contradictory to the rules of the effectiveness of the story.
However, although this is indeed the case, what if this approach will attract something else and cause other consequences?
The content of the broadcast always needs an audience. A broadcast that is too fast for human ears to distinguish cannot be effective on humans, which is equivalent to excluding [humans] as listeners and targets.
Ah...
Gao Hai understood what this broadcast was about.
Just when he realized a possibility, the running elevator suddenly stopped, and then the elevator door began to open slowly.
He looked at the button area inside the elevator. At this moment, no button was lit. In other words, the place where the elevator is now arriving is not in the area summarized in the rule table.
Buzz——
The elevator door has been completely opened, and the noise of the broadcast has not stopped.
Gao Hai raised his head and looked outside the elevator under the dim red light on the top of the elevator, but he saw pure darkness, as if there was nothing outside the elevator.
Then, that thing came in.
The pale, deformed, and completely distorted face of a woman emerged from the darkness in an instant, and in less than a blink of an eye, she was almost in close contact with Gao Hai's face, and she just came straight up.
The cold breath continued to spread around, and the eye sockets were basically left with only a pure black distorted face staring at Gao Hai, grinning, as if laughing.
Something else also came into the elevator.
Gao Hai lowered his head slightly and saw dark red high heels standing not far from him.
The light in the elevator began to flicker, and the operation of this thing seemed to be affected, as if it was about to lose power at any time. The elevator door was also delayed in closing, as if it wanted to wait for more and more heavyweight "passengers" to join in.
[Zizi... Zizi...]
Only the sound of the broadcast was still clear, and it was still making an unpleasant noisy noise.
For Gao Hai now, as long as he didn't use the Rampage Blessing to enhance his senses, he would not be able to understand what the broadcast was saying.
