At midnight, two people were walking in the dark in the corridor.
They held up their glasses and walked down the corridor step by step.
If anyone comes, they will probably be frightened by this scene.
The leader had his eyes closed, but there was an eye moving strangely between his eyebrows.
He looked at his surroundings and muttered something.
"Where is this? Where is this? This place is so dark. Can I go to your place?"
Different from Chen Qing's calmness and relaxation, he spoke softly, but the lady behind him became more and more nervous.
A rustling blind tone came from the walkie-talkie in Jiang Wan's hand. On the other end of the communication, there should be regular broadcasts at this moment.
On the other end of the intercom, the security guard patrolling downstairs was supposed to be playing the nightly news.
But at this moment, there is nothing.
She walked to the window, and the scene outside the window had become hazy. She couldn't see the scene or the people clearly.
She came to her senses and continued to follow Chen Qing.
"Have we entered the back room yet?"
Chen Qing nodded, but also added: "Theoretically... we should be in the passage into the back room."
He turned back and followed the last step of the ritual, placing the mirror in his hand at the corner of the stairs.
He walked back and forth several times, mumbling something.
And at the moment when the last words were spoken, an indescribable force seemed to change everything around him.
They couldn't tell what they were going through, but what was certain was that both of them realized at this moment that they had entered the back room.
They looked at the empty mirror, and their concentration reached its peak.
They returned upstairs, and what was supposed to be night time became extremely bright.
The light source is a bit like a huge shadowless lamp, covering the entire campus.
Those areas that have access to the outside world are occupied by strong light, and every window is penetrated by strong light.
The two looked at each other and reached a consensus in an instant. They left the corridor and entered the nearest classroom.
They looked up at the door number, which happened to be the classroom where Zhang Lan had been.
They pushed the door open, and the moment they walked into the classroom together, the door behind them was closed by an unknown force.
It was extremely powerful and seemed to have changed some rules.
They frowned and looked out the window. The terrifying light just now disappeared, and they returned to the dark night.
Inside the classroom, a few weak lights illuminated the classroom.
The light was not strong, but it was definitely enough to see any writing clearly.
Chen Qing looked at the classroom in front of him, walked to the first row and sat down.
He held his chin and stared at the blackboard.
"What are you looking at?"
Jiang Wan sat next to him. The smaller desk and chair, which had been away from the environment for decades, made her a little curious.
"I was wondering..." He frowned at the blackboard in front of him: "What is the entity they are talking about."
"Theoretically, when the rules in the back room are clarified, its threat will be greatly reduced... Zhang Lan has not figured out the rules after escaping twice in a row."
Jiang Wan nodded and agreed with his statement: "Will the rules in the back room... change?"
He shook his head, but kept silent for a while and thought: "Maybe, who can tell the underlying rules clearly."
But while he was silent, he also thought that manpower could build a back room.
"Is it really impossible to change..."
While the two were talking, the sound of writing came from in front of them.
On that blackboard, broken chalk left writings.
"Don't leave here... don't leave."
"They are all man-eating beasts! No...no! I absolutely cannot die here!"
"Don't go! Don't go!"
Immediately afterwards, several relatively faint words appeared.
"Come on...live."
"Come on, we believe in you...you also have to believe in us...we will come back."
But these few words only appeared for a moment, and then were erased, covered with a round of angry words full of violence and despair.
"You...it's time for you...if they don't come back, then you are safe. Go...go!"
"It doesn't matter... Of course you can reject me. Everyone has the right to reject me... Really."
"It smells so good...it smells so good! It smells so good! It smells so good. I want to eat more. I'm so hungry."
"They're here again... they're here... wu wu wu. Sister, I was wrong... I shouldn't have eaten you. I'm going to pull you out right now. You hurry up and die for me."
…
Chen Qing frowned and tapped his fingers on the desk. The regular sounds gave this strange place a bit of life.
Apart from these meaningful words, the remaining graffiti almost always reflects what this person did.
The scene where he was crazy and twisted, the second when he was paralyzed on the ground and kowtowed to the door.
Those simple stick figures recorded all his actions.
"What on earth did they encounter..."
Jiang Wan did not answer, but frowned and asked him: "Do you think... this person will be a student in the club?"
Chen Qing shook his head and was very sure: "Zhang Lan took the initiative to go back after successfully escaping. This does not match the description.
And according to his records, there should be more than three people who have lived here temporarily...
I'm afraid someone else came in here. "
"Who could it be?" She hesitated for a moment, not daring to express her thoughts.
"I also think...it's them." Chen Qing sighed and knocked on the table a little harder.
"But based on the message... there should be one rule in this back room that is to avoid certain entities, or to stay indoors within a specified time.
Objectively speaking...this rule is not difficult. "
Chen Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to talk to himself: "Can a person like Zhang Lan, who is not afraid of danger... really not be able to discover such a simple rule?"
He shook his head, something seemed wrong.
"We must check other classrooms." He raised his head and suggested to Jiang Wan.
"We really need to check it out. Split up?"
This time, it was Chen Qing who laughed at her: "Are you kidding me? In horror movies, people who make suggestions like yours are often the first to die."
The two relaxed the atmosphere a bit as they talked and laughed, but the problem was still there.
Although they knew the rule was that they were not allowed to go out, they were not informed of the limited time.
But even if it was a gamble, they had to gamble this time.
They exited through the back door and entered through the front door, and moved to the next classroom in the shortest possible time.
But Chen Qing and Jiang Wan saw completely different words on the blackboard this time.
Those words are full of goodness, and they do their best to encourage.
"It...it seems that there is more than one person who left the words here."
Jiang Wan walked closer, and everyone's handwriting could be clearly distinguished.
But unlike Jiang Wan, Chen Qing behind her frowned.
He looked at the words on the blackboard and felt a little weird in his heart.
"wrong."
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Wan turned back to look at him.
"The content is incorrect."
As he walked closer, the words on the blackboard began to fade away.
“Those words of encouragement were wrong.”
"Why." Jiang Wan frowned: "The next door is full of malice, can't there be people here who are full of kindness?
Because they have different ways and do not work together. "
"Then the content is wrong."
Chen Qing shook his head and sat on the tables and chairs in the first row.
"Come on! We will definitely find a way out!"
"Don't give up... don't give up. You see, we only need one trip back and forth... we can bring back a week's worth of food. It doesn't matter... none of us will die."
"As long as you rush to the end of the corridor, the food will be enough for us to survive for a long time."
"The strongest have to resist them, the fastest have to bring food... We have to persevere.
Each of us...must sacrifice for the sake of the collective. "
"I'm doing it for your own good... Each of us has to survive. Come on, this is the last time to get food. We will definitely be able to hold on until someone comes to save us."
"Really...really...this is the last time."
He looked at the words on the blackboard and asked Jiang Wan: "Do you really think the person who left this sentence... is kind?"
He stood up and walked to the opposite side of Jiang Wan: "Suppose there is a child beside me.
I need you to sacrifice for her.
Is this kindness? "
She frowned, but shook her head.
“If if, after your sacrifice, only me and this child are left.
And I know for sure that there is a time when we cannot leave.
I will die, she will die.
Then I ended his suffering early, is that considered kind? "
Her eyes widened, and she turned her head sharply to look at the last sentence.
"If if. The author of this text left behind, his 'last kindness' to his companions was to let them die painlessly. Do you think this is really kind?
In order to end the suffering of those who come after him as soon as possible, he leads them to death. Is this considered kind? "
"This...how is this possible?! Isn't it the right thing to be kind!"
She hasn't finished speaking, but Chen Qing's coldness has left her speechless: "Kindness also depends on who the target is. It also depends on what the kindness is based on.
Your kindness to a devil should have allowed him to see the most terrifying misery in the world. "
He calmed down for a moment before continuing: "But judging from the messages in the two classrooms, the rules here should be quite simple."
"Very simple?" She frowned.
"Do you still remember the information Zhang Lan said she heard?"
“Don’t step out of the box.”
"Yes. 'Box', I don't like to think of it as a specific box.
It's more like a concept that can be amplified into this classroom.
'Don't leave this classroom', you see, this is something that both blackboards don't let you do.
Kind people tell you that there is food at the end of the corridor; they tell you that just avoid danger.
But the sinful person tells you, if you miss, just get out. Please die quickly.
They are all so pure that..."
He was silent for a moment, with a strange expression on his face: "It's like they were changed by some rules."
