There was a slight echo when the footsteps landed on the steps, which proved that the stairwell was now empty.
An Qian walked in the middle and led Wu and the little girl to the second floor.
The little girl struggled violently, but calmed down after Anxi took her into the stairwell.
"Are everyone here?" Anxi asked.
Wu immediately responded: "Yeah."
"..."
The little girl didn't answer, but the touch in Anxi's hand hadn't changed, and she should still be there.
They continued walking upward.
Some cool breeze blew in the stairwell, causing Anxi to tie her tail into a ponytail.
The hair brushed across my neck, a little itchy.
But Anxi couldn't scratch it. She had no free hands and was holding her tight.
She could only turn her neck, trying to relieve the itch.
But give it a shout.
The ends of her hair were gently blown again.
It wasn't the cool breeze coming in front of me, but the warm breath coming from behind.
Anxi's body stiffened.
Wu was on her right side, and they walked up the stairs side by side, unable to catch their breath behind her.
The little girl was not tall enough, even less than her waist, so it was impossible to breathe into her neck.
Something else appeared in the stairwell.
[2. You may feel crowded in the stairwell, please hold the people around you. 】
An Qian thought of the second rule and tightened her grip on Wu and the little girl on both sides.
But the sound of warm breathing became more and more frequent.
Not only behind him, but also in front of him there was a sound of breathing that could not be ignored.
They were crowding in the direction of Anxi and the three of them, as if some were in a hurry to go upstairs, and some were going downstairs. They disliked the three of them for blocking the way, and kept trying to break the hands they were holding. .
The sound of breathing became more and more intense.
Anxi could no longer feel the cool breeze and even felt a little stuffy. She felt that her lungs were being squeezed and her breathing was not smooth.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuah!" the little girl cried. I don't know if it was because of fear or something else. The little girl wanted to break away from Anxi's hand and squat down to hug herself.
Anxi quickly squeezed to the left, fearing that the little girl would escape from her hands.
But she moved to the left, and the thing squeezing her on the right found a gap. They squeezed towards Anxi's right side at the same time, breaking the hands held by Anxi and Wu.
"Hurry up!"
After only being separated for a brief moment, An Qian immediately reached out to hold Wu's hand.
But the feeling when I hold it in my hand is completely different. It's sticky and slippery but rough to the touch, as if the scab has been torn apart and the new tender flesh under the scab is directly touched.
The hand didn't feel like Wu's.
But should she let go?
[3. You may feel that your companion around you has changed, but don’t let go. That is your companion. This is just a temporary hallucination. Please don’t make any noise. Your companion will return to his original state after exiting the stairwell. 】
[4. The third rule is wrong.
You may feel that the companion around you has changed. You must let go of your hand as soon as possible. That is not your child or your companion. Do not leave the stairwell with him or her. 】
Anxi thought she would not be so unlucky.
Unexpectedly, things related to the rules happened one after another.
Anxi stood still, she couldn't tell whether the hand she was holding was an illusion or had really been replaced.
If she was replaced, she would probably be separated from Wu if she left at this time.
With the rules dungeon and the power of the curse, even Wu couldn't force his way out.
The sticky hand in the palm seemed to sense Anxi's hesitation. It suddenly exerted force, pinched Anxi's palm and pulled her forward.
Anthy pulled it back.
It insisted on moving forward, eager to rush out of the stairwell, and even pinched Anxi's hand harder and harder, digging its nails into the back of Anxi's hand, forcing Anxi to move forward.
Such a move.
An Qian was certain that the person holding her hand was definitely not Wu.
Wu is now trying his best to show his love for her, and it is impossible for him to be so disobedient to her.
Anxi realized this and immediately pulled her hand back.
But it refused to let go, holding Anxi's hand tightly and tearing bloody marks on the back of her hand.
Anxi gasped in pain.
Since Rule 3 is wrong, she doesn't have to worry about the "Don't make noise" requirement in Rule 3.
She shouted: "Wu! Come here quickly! Here!"
After shouting, Anxi added uneasily: "If you are in front of me, don't look back! Just shout and let me confirm the position! But I have to wait for a while before I can go over. I'm caught now!"
After Anxi shouted, she started to fight with the thing holding her hand.
The left hand is holding the little girl, and the right hand is firmly grasped. Anxi can't even take out the props now.
However, luck was not that bad.
"call--"
A breeze came from behind.
Anxi felt some weight on her right hand, and then Wu's voice sounded: "What a dirty thing, stay away from my baby."
"Whoa!" The sound of a wind blade passing by.
The sticky hand was cut off, unconscious, and hung limply on Anxi's hand.
But soon, Anxi felt the fingers of that hand tremble slightly, accompanied by a gurgling sound, as if they were growing again.
Any attack has no effect on things related to the curse and cannot be completely defeated. Only by destroying the curse can they disappear.
An Qian quickly shook off the severed hand before it could grow back, then held Wu's hand tightly and ran towards the stairs.
"Run!"
The clothes on their bodies were being pulled, and the hands they were holding were constantly being hit. The things in the stairwell didn't want them to leave like this.
There is no turning back.
Wu could only keep releasing the wind blades in front of him, cutting off their blocking hands.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuah!" The little girl's body was squeezed out of shape, and she cried miserably.
Anxi simply half-hugged the little girl and ran wildly down the stairs.
While running, I don't know which hand grabbed Anxi's collar from behind, strangling her so hard that she almost died.
Anxi kicked back hard, like an ox or a sheep kicking a child, and kicked away the thing that was holding her.
Under constant struggle and running.
They finally reached the third floor and ran out.
Anxi quickly put the little girl on the ground. Although the child was small, she was not light, and her arms could not hold her up for a second.
She looked back at the stairwell she had just escaped from.
The dark staircase was like the mouth of an abyssal beast. Countless black arms stretched out densely from the darkness, grabbing them who had escaped from the staircase.
This copy is really outrageous.
Even if you follow the rules, you will inevitably be attacked.
But I don’t have time to complain about this now.
Anxi straightened up and looked at the sign hanging on the ceiling.
The top priority now is to find the dermatology department. They were delayed in the stairwell for a long time, not knowing whether they had passed the number.
The sign says to go straight to the Dermatology Department.
An Qian grabbed Wu and the little girl and rushed away.
They ran all the way to the waiting area outside the dermatology department.
On the plastic chairs in the waiting area were scattered children and family members who were blackened by the heat. They all lowered their heads and waited quietly.
The screen hanging on the wall is showing the number 7, not their number 10 yet.
Anxi found an empty seat and sat down, preparing to rest for a while.
After running for a long time, she felt that her throat was starting to get dry.
"Baby, your hands."
Wu Qian saw that An Qian was anxious and didn't say much.
Now that he was finally free, he held Anxi's hand and carefully looked at the scars on her palm and back, his eyes showing undisguised distress.
Anxi looked at her still bleeding wound and thought that she should bandage it to prevent infection.
But before she moved, she saw Wu quietly sticking out the tip of his tongue, like a puppy wanting to drink water, slowly approaching Anxi's palm.
"hiss…!"
An Qian took a breath, and immediately realized what Wu was trying to do. She knocked forward, knocked Wu's head away with her head, and cursed:
"Don't do these things that will be blocked if you put them on serious websites!"
