Cheng Ye lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time.
The thin pieces of hair on his forehead covered his eyebrows.
Looks a little lonely and sad.
The light from the phone hit the ground, illuminating a small circular area.
He was motionless.
Like a statue.
"well."
A heavy sigh sounded in the empty laboratory.
The echo came slowly.
Cheng Ye raised his head.
This guess coincides again.
A faint mocking smile slowly appeared on his lips.
He once laughed at himself when he was in the casino.
The cold glass wall outside the casino is exactly the same as the glass wall in the underground city.
If the underground people were experimental subjects.
So, might I also be an experimental subject?
I didn't expect it to be so soon...
...
Him, them, thousands of him.
Perhaps they are all just lab rats in a box.
suddenly.
Cheng Ye seemed to hear a "squeaking" sound in his ears.
He turned his head slightly and looked in the direction of the sound with a pair of tired eyes.
It was pitch black, nothing.
He stood up.
Walk towards the darkness.
As long as you don't choose a move that's too different from usual, bad luck will be hard to come by.
This is his latest guess.
It was the conclusion reached by the researcher who was fried.
Perhaps Professor Guo's guidance was to make him more affected by bad luck.
There were many guesses in Cheng Ye's mind for a moment, and they were all squeezed together into a ball, extremely messy.
He shook his head, suppressing these things in his mind for the time being, and began to look at the room carefully.
This lab is really empty.
It seemed like a lot of stuff had been moved.
There were messy papers on the table, as well as many instruments that Cheng Ye couldn't name.
As he walked, he shined a flashlight on the table.
The messy table made him feel a little sad for some reason.
Those researchers are all dead...
Step by step.
Cheng Ye quickly reached the end.
He stretched out his hand and tentatively touched it in front of him.
Soon, the smooth and cold touch returned.
It's a wall.
Cheng Ye raised the phone in his hand, and the light of the flashlight dispelled the darkness.
It is a reflective metal wall.
His hands naturally dropped again, and his dark eyes stared at the darkness ahead for a long time with deep meaning, as if thinking about something.
The sound just now clearly came from here.
Is it...a hallucination?
As soon as this idea came to his mind, Cheng Ye stood up straight.
ah……
Bad luck strikes.
It's the hallucination brought about by bad luck.
This time, what is it?
But according to current speculation, he himself was marked by something.
Why any other bad luck?
Is there any mistake in the speculation?
Cheng Ye remained unchanged in response to all changes and stood erect on the spot.
What he doesn't know is——
The thing on him also slowly raised its head.
Gray shadows like illusory mist gathered into a group and raised their heads heavily on Cheng Ye's shoulders.
If you look at the ground at this time.
You will see that the mobile phone flashlight shaking slightly in Cheng Ye's hand outlines the intermittent shadow on the ground.
Above the shadow belonging to Cheng Ye, there was a head raised.
It also stared at the wall intently.
After a moment, it actually revealed a pair of terrifying eyes in a mass of gray illusion.
He seemed to be staring ahead fiercely, not knowing what he was talking about.
After a while.
A voice sounded in Cheng Ye's ears.
"This is what I chose."
This time it seemed to be the voice of a boy about ten years old.
He gritted his teeth and said seriously.
The voice was very soft, so soft that Cheng Ye thought it was his hallucination again.
The sound was the same as the one I heard in the alley that day.
It seemed to be coming from far away.
He shouldn't have been allowed to hear it...
Cheng Ye frowned and said it was too late and soon.
He suddenly raised his phone, and the light of the flashlight shone on the wall in front of him.
He moved his phone and shone it back and forth.
Nothing was seen.
suddenly.
Cheng Ye's pupils dilated slightly.
That is……
……What?
Cheng Ye remained calm and moved the hand holding the phone a little closer to the wall.
In an instant, severe fear arose spontaneously.
My back felt cold and goosebumps covered my entire arms.
Cheng Ye's feet involuntarily took a step back.
He heard his heart beating violently.
This is--
Eye.
Countless pairs of eyes.
It was densely packed across the entire wall.
They were crowded together and suddenly opened their doors, all staring at Cheng Ye.
Fragments of light shone out from their eyes.
Cheng Ye trembled and almost couldn't hold the phone steady.
There are countless eyes hidden in this smooth wall.
Perhaps, it started when he entered this laboratory.
They have been watching his every move.
All his actions are under their surveillance.
Under high tension, Cheng Ye's mind was spinning very fast.
The 'squeak' sound just now was similar to the sound of a mouse.
Is it because they found out what he was thinking?
Cheng Ye frowned.
He felt like his whole body was numb.
The heart is beating so fast.
Chest tightness and shortness of breath.
The sound of breathing also became heavier.
Do you still remember?
On his first day in this world, he had wondered why he didn't feel hungry at all.
The next day, he seemed to be haunted by 'starving ghosts'.
He suspected that his fate would be to choke to death.
So he has been controlling himself not to eat until now.
And now.
If they could hear their own inner thoughts.
and adjust the ensuing misfortune accordingly.
That……
Will there be thousands of rats crawling into his bed tonight?
Cheng Ye's body suddenly went numb.
The image of him sleeping soundly with mice sniffing on his cheeks came to mind.
Goosebumps instantly covered my body.
Cheng Ye didn't dare to act rashly. He stood there and looked at each other with countless pairs of eyes.
There was only the sound of heavy breathing.
In this terrifying atmosphere, the darkness in the room seemed to become more intense.
…
…
Have you ever felt what it's like to be plagued by bad luck?
Have you ever been in a situation where nothing went your way?
Have you ever spent half a day where it seemed like you were dying every minute?
Cheng Ye just went through it all.
When he faced a wall of eyes, he suddenly realized why he could see these things.
They may have been summoned by themselves.
Perhaps after looking at the deaths of the first batch of scientific researchers, he subconsciously couldn't help but worry about whether the brain would discover the eyeballs and attack them.
Even if I was worried about this matter for only a moment, I was still captured by them.
So, they came after hearing the news.
This is completely consistent with his latest speculation.
As Wei Sheng'an said, the copy is completely consistent with the generation of fundamental inner fear.
But, why does my copy seem to be updated in real time?
Cheng Ye frowned.
Something is wrong.
He didn't have time to think too much. His keen senses allowed him to immediately notice that the room was getting darker and darker, and it seemed that even the light of his flashlight was dimming.
Like some kind of monster that devours light and is quietly destroying it.
His alarm went off. If he didn't escape from this room, he might never get out again.
Tomorrow's news is:
A researcher missed his old office environment so much that he skipped work during the day and returned to his hometown to relieve his longing.
As a result, the laboratory was abandoned for many years, the equipment was in disrepair, and poisonous gas was released, causing the researcher to die tragically...
…
The corners of Cheng Ye's mouth twitched, and the brief self-mockery made him feel more relaxed.
He looked around and found that he couldn't see anything clearly.
Even the light from the flashlight was only faint, like the light of fireflies at night.
Cheng Ye simply closed his eyes.
I started to recall the route I took when I first arrived.
When a person walks normally, his right leg always stretches out a little more than his left leg.
So many people will find themselves back where they were after walking straight ahead in the North Pole.
Because it is not a straight line, but a circle.
When you walk normally, with the help of your eyes, you can adjust your walking angle at any time, so what you walk out of is a straight line.
But now, if he wanted to return to the outside of the corridor, he had to accurately control the distance he walked with each step.
Prevent getting lost.
Cheng Ye didn't believe the fake tables and walls next to him.
He didn't want to rely on those things to determine his orientation.
Who knows if they are real seats or if they are a deliberate illusion?
Once they get in the way, they will never see the light of day again.
He only believes in himself.
Just as Cheng Ye was about to start thinking about the route back, he suddenly opened his eyes again.
This dark feeling.
A bit familiar...
It seems a bit like the unreachable 18th floor...
That bottomless, rich darkness that no light can penetrate.
It seems to be able to swallow everything.
So, here goes…
Cheng Ye clenched his fists.
Maybe he is in another world at this moment.
Because of erosion?
Cheng Ye smiled faintly.
Will he get closer to that world the longer he is eroded?
The sounds he could hear might be real. As he got closer and closer to that world, Huoxue could hear more sounds...
Cheng Ye curled his lips mockingly.
During this moment of thinking, he also planned his departure route.
I don't know why, but he seems to know his body very well.
It feels like I have walked in the dark countless times.
So, he easily planned how he should retreat out of the corridor.
Cheng Ye confidently closed his eyes again and began to slowly retreat toward the door.
"Don't panic."
"Keep calm."
"trust yourself."
Cheng Ye took his time and walked in the darkness.
Only the faint light in his hand accompanied him.
It's a big gamble.
In his judgment, the lights disappear and he disappears.
He must get out of the darkness before the monster swallows up all the light.
step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
Cheng Ye didn't panic.
Because he closed his eyes, he was not confused by those illusions.
Because he absolutely believed in himself, he was not distracted by the false table.
He succeeded and returned to the corridor.
What he doesn't know is:
When his left leg just stepped out of the darkness.
The eyes behind him stopped blinking.
They showed a silvery white light and seemed to have the most vicious emotions. One by one, they all stared at Cheng Ye.
Blood-red bloodshot eyes filled the entire eye socket.
They are so unwilling.
But, there is nothing you can do.
…
The journey home was filled with apprehension.
Just as Cheng Ye guessed.
As the bad luck invaded for longer, his body became more and more exhausted.
A lot of bad luck always follows.
For example, when you get on the subway, when you are about to insert coins, someone rushes to get in.
After passing the security check, it must be said that he has dangerous items on him.
After entering the carriage, an aunt put her head on his shoulder to sleep.
And the inexplicable tiredness made him sit still for a while...
…
Along the way, he finally understood why those scientific researchers couldn't even avoid a sewer pipe.
Uncontrollable exhaustion is the first factor in the success of bad luck.
…
After going through many hardships, Cheng Ye finally arrived at the door of his home.
He originally planned to go to the 18th floor to take a look.
As per today’s new speculation.
Now that he has been eroded, he may already have the qualifications to enter the 18th floor.
He might be able to see the world on the 18th floor.
Unfortunately, when he entered the community, all he could think about was rest.
Such a tired body is not suitable for any unnecessary actions.
Go home and have a good rest to regain your mental strength.
In a world where you will die if you make a mistake, you cannot be reckless...
.......
Cheng Ye was now paralyzed in the first changing room at the entrance, huddled in a ball.
This upgrade task is too difficult.
He had never been so tired before, as if something possessed him was absorbing his energy all the time.
Originally, he could investigate for 24 hours without sleep.
Now in the invaded state, it seems that the limit has been reached in five hours.
And the longer he is invaded in the future, the shorter his mental time may become.
If you are in a trance, you will naturally make mistakes.
Misfortunes love to happen.
Cheng Ye lay on the ground and rested for a while, then finally cheered up and walked towards the door.
He undressed, bathed, and disinfected.
Came to the living room.
The moment I saw the sofa, my whole body became weak.
He didn't even have the energy to walk a few more steps to the bedroom to rest.
He dragged his heavy body directly and collapsed on the sofa.
Just a few seconds after he closed his eyes, he suddenly opened them again.
He looked straight in a certain direction.
That window.
Cheng Ye sat up and stared at the small window opened next to the floor-to-ceiling window.
When did he open the window?
It seems not.
Cheng Ye stood up slowly.
He stepped closer to the window.
The wind outside the window blew in slightly, raising the broken hair on his forehead.
He stretched out his hand slowly towards the window.
I touched the cold metal frame.
He never opened the window.
On his first day here.
The windows were closed, and at that time, he sighed at the beauty of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
He was very sure.
It was something else that opened the window.
Cheng Ye turned around.
Looking towards the empty bedroom.
He didn't know why, but he felt a little lively.
It seemed that the small living room was crowded with things he couldn't see.
They crowded together and looked at Cheng Ye enthusiastically.
It's like looking at a rich piece of meat.
…
PS: Are there any windows, bedroom doors, or wardrobes that are opened for no reason at home?
Are there things that have moved inexplicably, socks that have disappeared, or remote controls?
Will they coexist with us...
