Judgment Day [Unlimited]

Press the button of the elevator, and the door of the elevator stopped on the eleventh floor opened immediately.

Through that lens, Xie Xingyin clearly saw the messy and mottled fluorescent blue bloody handprints on the inner wall of the elevator car.

The fluorescent color flows in the entire elevator car, like a dark river flowing in the underworld with a green light.

Apparently these fluorescences also represent bloodstains.But when the lens was removed, there was nothing in the elevator car.

"What did you see?" Xiao Lu also leaned over to look.

Xie Xingyin handed the lens in front of him, letting him see those blue-green things.

"What are these?" Xiao Lu was not afraid, but asked curiously.

"It should be blood." Xie Xingyin said, "... During criminal investigations, luminol reagents are used to test blood traces at crime scenes. When blood is detected, the oxidized luminol will emit blue-green fluorescence. "

Xiao Lu looked at him with beautiful eyes, and nodded speciously.Xie Xingyin patted his head: "This detection method is very effective. It can detect blood that has been diluted to one part in a million, even blood stains that are completely invisible to the naked eye after being washed."

Xiao Lu said "Oh", as if he understood: "So the fortune teller said yesterday that someone died in the elevator, because he saw these bloodstains?"

"I think so too." Xie Xingyin nodded, "Look at the fluorescent lights all over here, such a large amount of blood loss is enough to cause death. I don't know the exact mechanism of Lao Liang's spectacle lens, but it can Seeing blood can act as a luminol reagent."

This thing is very useful.

This allowed them to see traces of blood and try to reconstruct what happened in the apartment.

Xie Xingyin patted Xiao Lu on the shoulder and put the lens away.

By 08:30, everyone else got up one after another.

Everyone found out that the sky would not be bright. Jia Ming said with a sad face: "There are voice-activated lights in the corridor, and there are also in the room. Let's try to stay in a place with light and save the flashlight."

After a while, Brother Biao ran out with two dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept well all night, as soon as he came out, he grabbed the others in a panic and asked, "You guys, did you hear anything last night?! "

His stuttering younger brother was even more crazy, yelling indistinctly: "Knock on the door...Ghost, ghost! There is a ghost!"

Xie Xingyin was about to shake his head, when he heard the lady in the mink fur coat hurriedly echoed: "There was a knock on the door last night, did you all hear it?"

She and her husband both looked bad, obviously they didn't sleep well.

"I heard that too." Old Liang also said.

"It's the same in our room." Two female high school students who shared the same room said.

Others echoed nervously, only the short-haired girl in the same room as Li Wei hesitated. "We didn't hear anything in our room, maybe I slept too hard."

Everyone gathered in the corridor, Xie Xingyin scanned around and found that Li Wei was not there.

"Where is Li Wei?" Xie Xingyin quietly asked the short-haired girl next to him.

"She felt unwell after having breakfast just now. I let her lie down in the room. I touched her forehead just now and it was a little hot. It may be because she caught a cold last night." The short-haired girl said.

Xie Xingyin nodded: "It's okay. No one opened the door last night, and no one died. Does this mean that as long as we abide by the rules, it is not impossible for everyone to complete the task and get out alive?"

All can get out alive.

The rest of the people seemed to be comforted by these words, and they all showed gratified expressions.But Jia Ming seemed to think they were naive, so he just snorted coldly. "Think beautifully."

"Wait, did any of you see that corpse that was placed in the corridor yesterday?" Xie Xingyin asked.

Ji Guantou's body was gone, and the others looked at the end of the empty corridor, all confused.

"Nobody moved?"

"Who would touch that kind of thing? Bad luck."

"Is it possible that the game automatically cleaned up the dead?" Xie Xingyin speculated, "When I play shooting games, the dead bodies will disappear by themselves after a while."

"This guess is very interesting—but now I believe that you are really a newcomer." Jia Ming said, "I have entered the tower many times. It is a pity that the remains of teammates never disappear for no reason."

Xie Xingyin vaguely glimpsed something terrifying from his words.

"...Forget it." Brother Biao said, "Everyone is dead, it doesn't matter if there is a body or not."

"Yeah, it's not necessary to find a corpse."

Others agreed.

After the chat, everyone dispersed, Xie Xingyin went into the room to see Li Wei.She was lying on the bed covered with a quilt, with a towel on her forehead to cool down, her face was pale and her lips were a little dry.

A girl with short hair took care of her and took her temperature with a mercury thermometer.

38.5 ° C.

Xie Xingyin couldn't help frowning.Why did he suddenly have a fever.

"Do you have antipyretics in your room?" Xie Xingyin asked the others in a low voice after taking the door out.Everyone else shook their heads.

It is expected that Ta will not be so kind to prepare medicines for them.

It's really tricky to get sick in this kind of place, and they don't have the conditions to treat them at all.

Jia Ming seemed to see his anxiety, and said with a sneer, "That's why the doctors in those guilds are all overwhelmed. It's more expensive to invite them into the tower than to hire a group of bodyguards."

Sure enough, he still needs to have a skill, Xie Xingyin thought to himself.He graduated from the history department, so he is temporarily useless.

"Hey, I said, let's break open the doors of these rooms first." Brother Biao planned, "These are houses where people have lived in before. Maybe we can find usable medicine and food."

Xie Xingyin nodded in agreement.

This apartment is gloomy, and other people don't want to go to other floors to search for the time being, so it's better to search on this floor first.

"Then let's look for clues on this floor first."

"...I, I always feel that there is something behind the door." Brother Biao stared at the closed door opposite, hesitantly said.

In normal times, other people might be intimidated by him, but now, relying on the large number of people, people's courage has also grown.

"What nonsense are you talking about. Let's pry open a door and have a look."

These doors look like they have been used for more than ten years, and they are all painted wood, not the common anti-theft doors nowadays.

The door lock looked easy to break, but Xie Xingyin looked for a tool to break it twice, and found that it was quite strong.

"I'll do it." Old Liang took out a thin wire from his pocket, wrapped it around his finger and stirred it.

"Can you still pick the lock?"

"Ahem," Lao Liang said while thrusting the wire into the keyhole, "People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes. Fortune-telling, opening the lock, opening the water pipe, and catching the mistress. If you know everything, you won't starve to death."

"..." Xie Xingyin looked at him, feeling that this guy was not reliable.

However, he did pick the lock twice. He only stirred a few times with the wire, and the door lock opened with a "click".

Xie Xingyin was about to stretch out his hand to pull the door, when he heard Brother Biao behind him say in a rough voice:

"Brother, be careful. I don't know what's inside, don't be attacked by human-faced dogs when you open the door."

Everyone took half a step back, watching Xie Xingyin slowly open the door.

The wooden door seemed to have been left untouched for a long time, and the hinges and hinges were already stained with rust. When the door was opened, it made a harsh sound, as if it was about to fall.

Before opening the door, Xie Xingyin had already prepared himself, but after the door was actually opened, the scene in front of him still exceeded his expectations.

He was stunned for a moment, and the others present were also stunned.

Inside the door is a brick wall.

A solid brick wall directly completely blocked the entire room.

The wall was built too strangely, as if there was something behind it that must never be released.

Xie Xingyin raised his hand and tapped on the wall brick with his knuckles. The sound echoed in the quiet corridor, as if knocking on the door.

The wall tiles are thick.After several knocks like this, Xie Xingyin couldn't tell whether the wall was empty or solid.

Everyone's attention was attracted by the weird concrete wall, and they turned around the door with their heads probed.

Lao Liang's face was not very good-looking, and he hurriedly opened several door locks with shaking hands.Six doors were opened in a row, and behind the doors were all identical brick walls.

"I, I...fuck!" Lao Liang stared at the wall for a long time with his lips trembling, but he couldn't say a complete sentence.

I don't know why he was frightened by something, he fled back with a terrified expression, and was grabbed by Brother Biao and brought back by the collar.

"Isn't it just a broken wall? If you smash it, it's over! What are you talking about all day long! Believe it or not, I will beat you!"

Old Liang "bah" made him drool.

"What do you know!"

As he said that, he turned his head and shouted at Xie Xingyin: "Close the doors first! Close them quickly!"

The panic on his face was so infectious that Xie Xingyin subconsciously followed suit.

The blind man breathed a sigh of relief when the door slammed shut.The sunglasses on the bridge of his nose only have a black lens on his right eye, which looks very funny.

"What's going on?" Xie Xingyin raised his eyebrows and asked him.

"Huh—" The blind man waved his hand, "In terms of Feng Shui, only the kind of murderous haunted house, where all the talismans, water, peach trees, and trees don't work, and even the Lord of the Underworld can't be restrained, will be built with bricks to prevent the things inside Come out. I don’t know what’s in this apartment, I have to seal the room completely!”

"There are so many rooms in the whole building that are all bricked up. I have only seen it once in all these years in the rivers and lakes, in the deep mountains and old forests in western Hunan."

"Young people don't believe in evil. That time we went in with more than a dozen big men, and then..." He didn't know what to recall, his voice trembled, and his expression was unspeakably bitter, "Anyway, in the end... go in Twelve people, I was the only one who survived."

"My left eye was blind at that time." The blind man said, took off his sunglasses, lifted his eyelids, and directly took off his left eyeball, leaving a horrible black and red hole in the empty eye socket.

"One of my eyes was gouged out by that thing, and now this is a bionic fake eyeball."

Brother Biao shrank his neck: "You, you, you, go back, you are scarier than a ghost."

The blind man unhurriedly fixed the fake eyeballs and put on the sunglasses again.

The others no longer find his appearance funny, but on the contrary feel a little scary.

"If you want to tear down the wall, you can tear it down. Whoever is not afraid of death can tear it down. Anyway, I won't go in. I only have one eye left."

Lao Liang is usually cowardly and cowardly, but now his attitude is extremely firm.Jia Ming asked, "What should we do now?"

The rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay, and Brother Biao, who suggested opening the door and smashing the wall just now, also faltered.

"Open it and have a look." In the end, Jia Ming said, "The game will not provide us with useless scenes, maybe there are clues in it."

Xie Xingyin also nodded: "The most important clues are always in the most dangerous places. If you can't find any clues, you will die after seven days."

Although I don't know what it is for, but there must be something weird under the strange things.Human-faced dogs may not come to the door by themselves, they have to take the initiative to find clues.

"Then let's vote to decide." Jia Ming said.

Except for Li Wei who was still resting in the room and Lao Liang who was nagging, the rest of the people discussed together.

Xie Xingyin tended to smash it open to have a look.He has always been unfazed by these strange things, and just wants to solve the problem quickly - after all, the instant noodles and compressed biscuits here are too bad, and they are not as good as devil's vine fried pork.

Xiao Lu, Brother Biao, Brother Stutter, a girl with short hair, and Jia Ming also agreed to break it open to have a look.

Two other high schoolers and a couple of mink coats tend not to break open.

"Then prepare to tear down the wall." Jia Ming said.

I don't know if it was due to psychological effects, but when Xie Xingyin looked at the ordinary brick wall over there again, he always felt that there seemed to be a strange color on the brick wall, which was so bright red that it was outrageous, like dried blood soaked in blood. bacon.

The two high school girls seemed to be frightened, their calf trembling against the base of the wall, and it was not right to go back to the room, and they were afraid to stay here.

Seeing this, Xie Xingyin said considerately: "We still have to smash for a while, if you are afraid, go back to your room."

The remaining few people went to find their own tools to knock on the wall. Brother Biao couldn't find the guy, and even tore off a chair leg.

With so many people present, breaking down a wall is not a big problem.

When the brick wall was broken and loose, Xiao Lu suddenly pulled out a knife from nowhere and knocked on the bricks a few times.

"Hey, kid, it's not okay to hit the wall with a fruit knife." Brother Biao joked.

Xie Xingyin followed the sound and saw at a glance that the pitch-black blade could not be used for cutting fruit—although it was quite similar in size to a fruit knife.

It was a Kabbah, a multi-purpose combat knife.

KaBar's name means killabear, that is, even a bear can be killed with this knife.It has been used since World War II and is still widely used by the US Marine Corps.

Looking at the light in the corridor, Xie Xingyin noticed that the blade in his hand seemed to be made of a different material from the usual saber.

Xiao Lu stood in front of the wall intently, digging along the cracks of the bricks with the blade.The gaps between the cracked bricks are not very tight, and a brick will soon become loose.

"Pull out some bricks first." Jia Ming said, "I don't know whether the wall is solid or not. If the whole room is full of bricks, we will smash it for nothing."

Xiao Lu rubbed the dusty blade on his clothes, and re-sheathed it.The blade was indeed made of a special material, and there was not even a single scratch left on the blade after such rough use.

Xie Xingyin was afraid that Xiao Lu would not have enough strength, so he pressed his shoulders to make him back up, so he could tear down the bricks by himself.

It is easy to push loose wall tiles in, but it is difficult to pull them out.

Xie Xingyin originally wanted to push the whole brick in, but it got stuck after only half a centimeter.

"I can't push it anymore." Xie Xingyin said, "It might really be a brick inside."

Still have to open it up.

He borrowed Xiao Lu's knife again, inserted the blade into the cracks in the bricks and pried it out, and when a piece of it came out, he grabbed the brick with his hand and pulled it out.The fragments in the cracks of the bricks rubbed against each other vigorously, and the brick fragments and choking dust fell down after washing.

Xie Xingyin pulled out the brick and dropped it to the ground.There was a square hole in the brick wall in front of him, and the hole was dark.

He leaned down with his hands on the wall and looked into the hole.

In the dark brick hole, a pair of eyes were staring straight at him.
