Chapter 70 Elevator in the Dormitory Building
Lin Yi had a strong doubt in his heart, but at the moment when he had this doubt, his train of thought suddenly shifted like a drain. Turn, and then use the butt of the car to abruptly reverse the thought that was about to begin.
"Forget it, let's forget about it for now."
"We'll talk about it when we get to the dormitory."
It's like a cigarette with sparks coming out, being swallowed by two He twisted his fingers lightly and then wiped them out. Lin Yi shook his head slightly and muttered secretly:
"Even if this dormitory elevator is a fucking Transformer today, I don't want to worry about it."
He followed the squirming flow of people and kept pushing forward. He quickly walked up the steps in front of the dormitory building and entered a light. In the bright corridor.
When he stepped on the steps, he did not forget to look down at the moss growing in the gaps between the steps.
The entire corridor is an arc-shaped structure, like the base of a hula hoop structure in a dormitory building.
In the corridor, there is an elevator room every three to five meters.
The elevator door kept opening and closing, and about ten people entered each time. Then after the elevator door closed, three to five seconds later, the door opened again.
After the door opened, there was another spacious and empty elevator room.
The original people were nowhere to be seen, as if they had been eaten by the elevator.
Walking in the corridor, Lin Yi found a line of words written in front of each elevator:
[Each elevator is designed to carry ten people. 】
It turns out that only ten people actually entered each elevator.
It was his turn soon, but he happened to be the tenth person in the elevator, so he chose to wait for the next elevator and gave up the tenth person's position to the person behind him and Wei Liang. That classmate.
He glanced at the elevator number.
「Elevator-23」
Then he withdrew his gaze and calmly glanced at the ten people in the elevator room.
These ten people have different expressions. Seven of them have relatively numb expressions and have not brought anything with them. It is obvious that they are old students at first glance. The remaining three are carrying a backpack, and some are also carrying a handbag. Their expressions are Confined, his eyes wandered around the interior of the elevator, it was obvious that a new student had settled in.
"Clang...Clang!"
The elevator door closed in front of Lin Yi with the sound of hunting wind. With the last sound of "Clang", Lin Yi couldn't help but feel There was an indescribable feeling.
This feeling is a bit like he closed the door when he left the classroom, and it is also a bit like he traveled from one area to another area. If you look at it casually, there is a weird sense of fragmentation. If you look at it more carefully, But I can't tell at all.
At this moment, there was an obvious sound of mechanism running from inside the elevator door.
This sound was different from any mechanical sound he had heard growing up, and it was not like the sound of machinery in science fiction movies. To put it another way, it was like the sound of the mechanism in the Snake Spirit Cave in Calabash Baby. Put on some bubble sounds.
It was like a clucking sound...
Then, the elevator opened with a "bang..." sound, and as expected, there was no trace of anyone inside the elevator room.
With some curiosity, Lin Yi followed Wei Liang into the elevator.
This is a very traditional passenger elevator, more like the elevators in some high-end commercial buildings than dormitories.
There are four LED lights on the top of the elevator interior, and there are floor button panels on each side of the elevator door.
The buttons on the floor consist of simple "on", "off", the numbers "1" ~ "39" and several traditional symbols, like a small yellow speaker and a red "↑" ...Wait, what symbol is this?
Lin Yi looked at the "↑" button, which had a plastic cover on the outside with a big "×" on it.
Lin Yi was stunned.
The position of this button is very subtle. Judging from the button sequence, its position seems to refer to a non-existent... 40th floor.
The remaining eight people each pressed the button for the floor of their dormitory. Wei Liang saw that Lin Yi was observing the panel, so he took the initiative to press "14".
The dormitory they reserved is "1414", which is the 14th dormitory on the 14th floor.
There are rules for reservations in this dormitory.
Theoretically speaking, for the sake of safe escape, when choosing the floor of the dormitory, you should ensure that you can use the stairwell to leave the dormitory quickly when the elevator is unavailable, so the floor The lower the choice, the better.
But there are not a few people who have this consideration, so the dormitories within the 10th floor are basically reserved, and many people don’t want to share rooms with strangers to fill the vacancies, so they broaden their options bit by bit. .
As for the "1414" that Lin Yi and the others chose, because it sounded unlucky, not many people made reservations. It was a rare dormitory that was completely vacant.
Of course, if you don't select "1414", if you want to choose a 6-person dormitory, you have to go to the 35th floor.
As for floors above the 35th floor...if something goes wrong with the elevator, it might be better to jump off the building instead of going downstairs.
Wei Liang stepped aside after pressing the button, while Lin Yi silently stood aside and shrank into a corner near the door.
Although the elevator is designed to carry only ten people, when there are ten people standing there, the remaining space is not crowded.
Soon, Lin Yi keenly caught some shaking sensations.
This tremor is very subtle, like the wind in the elevator passage blowing onto the elevator car, causing a tremor.
But Lin Yi faintly felt something was wrong. That kind of wind... made him feel abnormal.
He suppressed the discomfort and began to wait for the elevator door to close.
"Clang...Cang!"
As the elevator door closed, a feeling of being cut off from the outside world instantly filled Lin Yi's heart, making his discomfort instantly reach its peak.
The elevator is very spacious, and the LED lights on the top illuminate the elevator clearly. There are no dark corners, but Lin Yi feels very depressed. He is a little disgusted with this feeling, as if he is enclosed in a In an airtight pressure vessel, there is an impulse in the subconscious to break out of the cage.
His breathing became thicker and deeper, and he subconsciously moved closer to the side of the elevator car, as if he wanted to embed himself in a corner.
"Woo——"
The elevator rose steadily and continued to accelerate. The manic wind kept tearing at the outer wall of the elevator car. The uncomfortable vibration began to rise straight up. In the blink of an eye, The entire elevator began to shake.
Lin Yi gritted his teeth, but he thought that the elevator door would open 3 to 5 seconds after closing, and then the people inside would disappear.
He then took a deep breath, using this method to restrain the strong discomfort and impulse, and then began to keep himself calm.
1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds, 5 seconds...
Half a minute has passed, and the elevator door has no tendency to open at all.
He kept breathing evenly, using this method to relieve the pressure from a confined space like the elevator. Then he lowered his head and glanced at the time on his watch.
21:04.
His eyes did not leave the dial, but continued to stare at the second hand on the dial.
34 seconds, 35 seconds, 36 seconds...
Time is passing at an observable speed, and no abnormalities can be seen.
But the elevator door never opened. Not only did it not open, stronger earthquakes continued to be felt on the outer wall of the elevator.
It was like an invisible hand holding the elevator and shaking it up and down.
Lin Yi, who was close to the elevator car, vaguely caught some abnormal fluctuations.
Such a sense of fluctuation often comes from some kind of high-speed running machinery, like a racing car that is sprinting at full speed, but the key is... what maintains the acceleration and sprinting state is an elevator. What kind of monster elevator needs to be accelerated for one minute? Come on, you don’t need to do this to get on the Statue of Liberty, right?
After a few more intense seconds, the elevator gradually began to brake and finally stopped smoothly. Then, there was a "ding" sound, and the number on the floor display jumped to the 18th floor.
"Floor 18?!" Lin Yi's expression suddenly became weird.
He glanced at the floor button.
The buttons that are lit are the 7th floor, the 8th floor, the 11th floor, the 13th floor, the 14th floor, the 17th floor, the 20th floor and the 23rd floor. The button representing the 18th floor is indeed off.
But...you haven't stopped at the previous floors yet, so why did you go directly to the 18th floor?
What the hell?
Just when Lin Yi was hesitating, a classmate in the elevator saw that no one was getting out, so he couldn't help but said, "We're on the 18th floor, is there no one getting off?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi A girl next to me who had been immersed in reading raised her head in surprise.
"Huh? The 18th floor?"
She adjusted her glasses, glanced at the floor display with some surprise, and then looked at the button panel, with a deep look in her eyes. The look of doubt.
It seems to be saying: Why didn’t the floor in front stop?
But when the floor arrived, she arrived. She quickly nodded and apologized: "I'm sorry, sorry...I'll be out right away..."
After saying that, she closed the book and walked out of the elevator. As she walked, she seemed to be holding on. With that suspicious look, he was still muttering: "Strange, why did you get to the 18th floor first?"
Lin Yi looked at her and couldn't help but secretly thought something was wrong for her. This girl was obviously the 18th floor. It came all at once, and she was already thinking about the problem!
This is the same as he was yesterday, but the girl is alone, and he is accompanied by Wei Liang.
The elevator door was about to close, but the girl suddenly thought of something as if she had a sudden inspiration, and suddenly entered the elevator.
"Ah, wait a minute, wait a minute, don't close it yet!" The girl hurriedly came to Lin Yi's side, picked up the bag on the floor, and then exited the elevator while saying "Sorry".
Just when Lin Yi wanted to remind the girl not to think wildly, the elevator door had already closed with a clang.
The moment the elevator door closed, Lin Yi seemed to see the faint mist lingering at the girl's feet, like a group of snakes...
Lin Yi couldn't help but narrowed his eyes. , and my mood gradually became heavier.
“What a Shabby.” A classmate with his backhand clasped on his shoulder and a schoolbag hanging on his shoulder bared his teeth and cursed coldly, “It’s really hard to sit in the same elevator with such a nerd. A waste of time..."
Lin Yi remained motionless, pretending not to hear the classmate's voice.
The elevator continued to run, and he continued to look at the time on his watch.
But this time the elevator stopped after only 15 seconds. It stopped on the 11th floor. A classmate with a numb expression left the elevator.
The elevator continued to run and stopped at the 20th floor 47 seconds later. The classmate who was cursing just now walked out carrying his schoolbag.
Lin Yi observed his back and the surrounding environment calmly.
The corridor on the 20th floor is exactly the same as the 18th and 11th floors. When you look out, you will see a curved corridor filled with incandescent lights. Dormitories are located on both sides of the corridor.
Lin Yi watched him leave until the elevator door was completely closed.
"Woo——"
The elevator continued to run, and the wind screamed like a devil's whisper.
……
The 20th floor of the dormitory building.
"Clang!"
The elevator door closed, and the entire corridor seemed to get darker.
The boy was holding a bag and walking slowly with a somewhat arrogant pace.
2001, 2002, 2003……
He looked at the door number of the dormitory, walked cautiously along the corridor, and then turned a corner naturally.
"Huh...?"
He was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized something, and looked back uncertainly.
"I just... seemed to have walked around a corner?"
He looked back, only to find that there was no corner behind him at all.
A trace of doubt could not help but appear in his eyes.
"What... situation?"
He subconsciously touched the back of his head.
Suddenly he felt his hand being breathed by some extremely cold breath.
His body stiffened slightly, and boundless fear rushed towards him like a Pandora's box had been opened. He didn't know
What happened behind him, but a strong fear of the unknown invaded his brain in an instant.
He ran as fast as he could, not even bothering to check what the house number was.
"Rustling..."
He heard an indescribable and strange sound coming from behind him, like countless ants crawling on his body.
「Huh...」
He heard a faint sound of wind coming from behind him again. This wind followed his figure like a ghost, following him like a poisonous snake.
"Don't chase me! Don't chase me..."
He instinctively closed his eyes, then took a breath and sprinted.
But after taking a few steps, he felt himself hit hard against a cold wall.
He was so confused that he opened his eyes in a daze.
He saw a house number. The number on the house number was a character he didn't recognize at all. It looked like English with special symbols, or some kind of strange Arabic script. It might also be the hieroglyphic symbol of some tribe or clan...
When he saw this kind of character, some ancient and mysterious pattern slowly flowed into his mind like a self-taught one.
He was completely uncontrollably thinking about some indescribable and terrifying things. His pupils slowly expanded until they dilated, and his body gradually lost its temperature until it became extremely cold.
His throat began to uncontrollably make some kind of human sound, no, some kind of sound that did not belong to any species in this world.
It was like a strong wind blowing in his blood, sweeping through his bones, devouring his marrow, and then whizzing around in the hollow bones, emitting the kind of whimpering in the narrow cracks. sound.
Countless broken and chaotic pictures appeared in front of his eyes. Countless thoughts filled his mind at this moment, and terrifying information flowed into his brain.
At this moment, he felt uncomfortable and unhappy, but when he opened his mouth, countless syllables were twisted and intertwined, twisted together like hemp rope, and in the end, only the most primitive and pure fear remained. Pronunciation:
“Ah…”
“Ah——ah——”
Merry Christmas!
Thanks to the water friend "an unknown book friend piggy" for the reward! !
Wuwuwuwu... I was fucked yesterday. I went out to repair my mobile phone in the afternoon and used the trial machine in the mobile phone store to code. I coded about 1,500 words. When I paid, the trial machine locked the screen. The document was automatically cleared. Woohoo... I can't find it at all. The person at the experience store said they forgot to remind me that they would clean it up. I didn't expect this for a moment... Woohoo, it's so miserable. I got the code after I got home. There are still a thousand words left at 1:30, and I can’t code anymore. I can only finish the coding during the day and update it...
