At this time, Wang Xiaoming was trapped in an unfamiliar floor and could not move forward or retreat. Dark stairs can bring natural fear, making Wang Xiaoming afraid to step into them easily.
But if he didn't go down the stairs, how could he leave the building? Don't think about the elevator. Wang Xiaoming has watched a lot of horror movies and knows that the elevator is more dangerous than the stairs in this situation.
Forced to have no choice, he even approached the window sill next to the corridor, but looking out the window at the night that was deeper than the darkness, a nameless fear kept Wang Xiaoming away from there.
What's more, what if it's close to the window sill? Is it possible to jump out of the window? Although I don't know which floor this is, there are floors above 10. He can't fly, so if he jumps, he will definitely die.
Wang Xiaoming was like a desperate beast, trapped in the trap-like corridor and pacing back and forth. Time was advancing minute by second in such a meaningless consumption.
Suddenly, Wang Xiaoming felt his hair stand on end, because a line of sight came from somewhere. That line of sight stared at him coldly and maliciously, which could make people feel scared from the bottom of their hearts.
This sight made Wang Xiaoming feel extremely uneasy. He began to try to follow the source of the sight, wanting to know what it was and where it was hiding and staring at him like this.
It should be said that Wang Xiaoming is a very smart person, otherwise he would not have realized the truth of the world earlier than Yang Wenshou in Zhong Shanze's last virtual world experiment.
However, he doesn't have much experience in dealing with fierce ghosts. Otherwise, if the invitees like Zhao Ling are here, they will know that if they feel a strange gaze staring at them, they should not look for that gaze unless it is the finale. source.
Because generally speaking, when you find the source of that sight, that is the moment when you completely meet the fierce ghost, and at least one person will die by then.
Unfortunately, Wang Xiaoming didn't know this. Instead, because he was sharper than ordinary people, he could quickly determine the source of his sight.
When Wang Xiaoming had a vague answer in his mind, his whole body suddenly trembled, because he found that the source of the line of sight was no longer in the corridor, nor in the dim stairwell, but on the opposite floor beyond the window sill.
At this time, Wang Xiaoming felt very uneasy, but now he had nowhere to go, and the dim stairwell locked him in this corridor.
Therefore, Wang Xiaoming, who had no way out, could only follow this only clue to investigate. He walked step by step to the window at the end of the corridor.
The night was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly, but he clearly remembered that in the past, street lights would always be on in the community at night, but now it was pitch black down there, like a calm and terrifying ocean.
Fortunately, he has one last resort, which is the camera function of his mobile phone. This is the last possible way to see where the line of sight on the opposite floor is.
Although Wang Xiaoming had been busy outside all day, he was very smart and used a power bank to charge his mobile phone while eating in a restaurant, so that he would not run out of battery at such a critical moment.
In fact, before Wang Xiaoming turned on the camera, he had already vaguely guessed the source of his sight, so without hesitation, his camera was pointed directly in the general direction of his guess.
Sure enough, just as Wang Xiaoming guessed, the floor where the sight came from was his own home, and all the foreshadowing had been laid last night.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the building where his home was located, a face that looked exactly like his own was glued to the window and stared at him.
It turns out that when "he" got up and stared at the floor-to-ceiling window last night, it may not necessarily have something to do with Liu Lanhan, but he was staring at himself now. At this moment, Wang Xiaoming knew that he could not escape at all.
The timeline of this space has been completely confused. Yesterday's "self" can see the present self, which shows that the other party's terror is beyond one's imagination.
When this thought flashed through Wang Xiaoming's mind, the lights in the corridor began to flicker rapidly. Seeing this, Wang Xiaoming knew that everything had come to an end, and he was about to usher in his final ending.
Wang Xiaoming, who had been extremely anxious before, fell into an unprecedented calmness at this moment. He raised his middle finger towards the dark corridor and said "Did you draft it?" and then ran straight towards the window sill.
It's not that I think I can fly away from this world, but I would rather commit suicide by jumping off a building than fall into the hands of the other party. At least this is the result of my choice.
A few days later, the police received an alarm. A citizen named Wang Xiaoming had been missing for several days, and the place of death was suspected to be in the same place as the previous Liu Lanhan.
According to the records of the community camera, after Wang Xiaoming walked into the opposite floor alone a few days ago, he completely disappeared and has not appeared until today.
This clue attracted the attention of the investigators, so the disappearance of Wang Xiaoming and the murder of Liu Lanhan were merged, and the investigators quickly went to the company to investigate again.
Unfortunately, in the end, they were unable to gain anything other than Wang Xiaoming's suspected mental problem. After all, Wang Xiaoming's body has not been found so far.
The chain of evidence required by criminal law is very strict. This confession alone is not enough to identify Wang Xiaoming as a suspect, so the matter ultimately became an open case.
At the same time in the virtual world, Zhong Shanze also received relevant reports about this experiment, so he canceled the maintenance of this world.
Generally speaking, although the test of crowdfunding soul shows that the product is still not successful enough, the test itself is considered a success and has advanced Zhong Shanze's understanding of many matters.
In this experiment, Wang Xiaoming was actually a crowdfunded soul, while the others were still seductive souls, so only Wang Xiaoming and the others were different.
Why do these things happen to Wang Xiaoming? Because although the crowdfunding soul does piece together a soul, this piece of piecing together is quite unstable, which means that the soul will gradually disintegrate over time.
In this process of disintegration, the individual's humanity will gradually disappear, while the ghost aspect will gradually emerge, until he completely turns into a fierce ghost.
Of course, this experiment did not develop to this extent, because when Wang Xiaoming was still struggling between human nature and ghost nature, his human nature was killed by ghost nature because of his curiosity.
The strange face Wang Xiaoming found in the mirror and the inexplicable start of getting up and wandering around in the middle of the night were all signs that the ghostly aspect of his body was reviving.
The first person to discover Wang Xiaoming's anomaly and make up his mind to investigate was Liu Lanhan. As a result, he became the first target to be killed by Wang Xiaoming.
As for Wang Xiaoming's biggest mistake, he also became curious about the ghost side of his body, and even went so far as to investigate alone.
From the moment he walked into the dim stairwell, he had actually left the real world and entered the time and space where Liu Lanhan was killed.
Therefore, Wang Xiaoming's final fate was either to run in the dark and endless stairwell until he died of hunger and thirst, or to get to the floor and be killed by his own ghost.
