The rules are weird, and the weirdness is drooling over her

Chapter 302 Back Room 3

Since there is no better way, let's follow Li Xin's advice and continue walking along the corridor.

The long corridor seemed to have no end. Lu Xichen calculated the time and walked for four full hours without taking a break. If she hadn't reached the fourth level, she would have collapsed from exhaustion halfway through.

But even so, she didn't see any new scenes.

Although the rules stated that no time passed on level 0, her watch could still tell time normally.

[7. There is no time on the 0th floor. You are here forever. Time will not continue to move until you leave here.]

So Lu Xichen speculated that layer 0 could solidify time but would not change the manifestation of time.

It may also be because her watch was bought from a vending machine in the weird world and is quite special, so it can tell time normally.

Either possibility would be good for her, as it would allow her to clearly know what time it was.

Otherwise, Lu Xichen suspected that he would get lost here.

After all, there is no reference here to prove that she has moved. In fact, she might just be standing still.

Thinking of this possibility, Lu Xichen felt inexplicably creepy.

There are white walls on both sides of the corridor without any stains, and the floor is covered with light yellow carpet, which is very dry and soft.

Looking up and forward, I could only see a black dot. That was because the corridor was too long and the scene in the distance was beyond my sight.

"Tick-tock-"

"Ding Ding-"

Suddenly, the sound of dripping water and bells was heard behind him. Lu Xishen stopped and turned around to look.

A girl was barefoot with bells tied around her ankles, making crisp sounds with every step she took.

The sound of water drops also came from the girl.

To be precise, that was not the sound of water dripping, but the sound of blood dripping.

The girl's head was tilted to one side, and blood was oozing from her neck. The blood dripped onto the dry blanket, making a dripping sound.

So weird.

Lu Xichen leaned against the wall to make way.

Why does blood dripping on the blanket make such a distinct sound?

Not sure whether the girl in front of him was a real person, Lu Xichen moved away from the props while being ready to attack her at any time.

If the girl showed any sign of something wrong, even the slightest, she would take action immediately.

The girl was getting closer and closer, and Lu Xishen discovered that where she walked, most of the lights on the ceiling would go out, creating a lot of shadows.

The rules mention shadows.

[9. Shadows are not safe. Do not stay in the shadows for more than thirty seconds.]

I looked up at the lamp above my head and saw it was flickering faintly. I guess it would be broken soon.

Lu Xichen stopped paying attention to the girl and quickly turned around and walked deeper into the corridor.

"boom--"

The sound of the light bulb breaking was particularly obvious in the empty and silent corridor. Lu Xichen was caught off guard and was frightened by the sound and shook unconsciously.

I quickly raised my head and looked back, and saw that lights started to pop up wherever the girl walked by.

Darkness was chasing Lu Xichen from behind, and the suffocating feeling was getting stronger and stronger.

Apart from the sound of the bell and the dripping water, there was no other sound from the girl behind him. After more than ten seconds, the bell sound also disappeared, leaving only the dripping water sound.

While running away, Lu Xishen took the time to look back and found that the girl's legs had disappeared at some point. Without her legs, the bell was gone too.

The blood flowed to the ground but the only sound was "dripping".

His eyes moved to the girl's face and he found that she was full of pain and was silently saying something to Lu Xichen.

Before she could finish her words, her head, which was already in danger, suddenly rolled to the ground. Her body was still chasing Lu Xishen, but her head remained where it was.

Lu Xishen quickly withdrew his gaze and concentrated on escaping.

Except for the initial "bang", there was no other sound from the subsequent explosions.

"Tick tock, tick tock——"

The light behind him was getting dimmer and dimmer, and the ticking sound was getting faster and faster, as if it was speeding up Lu Xishen's life.

The rules clearly stated that one could not stay in the shadow for more than 30 seconds, so couldn't she just stay in the shadow for no more than 30 seconds and get rid of this strange "corpse" within 30 seconds?

Lu Xichen did not stop running away. She used her strange power to entangle the girl, but the power went directly through the girl's "body".

"Damn it!"

Lu Xishen cursed under his breath, quickly retracted his strength, and concentrated on running away.

The girl also has no physical body.

As he ran, Lu Xichen discovered that level 0 appeared on the walls on both sides, followed by an arrow pointing to level 1.

Is she leaving Level 0?

Speed ​​up your pace, and you will see more and more signs pointing to level 1.

I don't know when the girl behind me disappeared.

Lu Xishen also walked out of the corridor.

But she did not leave Floor 0. The road in front of her was not leading to Floor 1, but a road leading to a maze.

Just like when I first arrived here, the carpet was wet and yellow, and the walls turned back to yellow.

There aren’t that many choices this time, and you don’t have to struggle to choose a door because the doors have disappeared.

Directly opposite are identical rooms stacked on top of each other, and some of the rooms are like mirror images.

This overlap is irregular and even extends upward like a high-rise building.

Of course, it also extends in other directions, up and down, left and right, and Lu Xishen feels like he is in a kaleidoscope.

After watching for a while, Lu Xichen felt dizzy. He shook his head and regained consciousness.

There is a "bottomless abyss" in the middle of the yellow room from the corridor, and I don't know how long I will have to fall before I can stop.

Lu Xishen walked around the hole and headed to the other side.

As soon as her feet stepped on the wet yellow carpet, before she could take the next step, her feet were empty and she fell straight down.

Lu Xichen screamed subconsciously, but quickly regained her composure. She took out a dagger and tried to stab it into the "wall" to stop herself from falling.

But the "walls" were all wet yellow carpet, and her dagger cut right through it as she continued to fall.

After falling for a few minutes, Lu Xishen had completely calmed down.

This was the abyss she wanted to avoid just now, but she didn't know why she fell down after stepping on the carpet.

On the way down, Lu Xichen used the black mist to support himself, slowing down his falling speed, and carefully observed the situation around him.

On both sides were wet carpets, which were the floors of the yellow house.

The front and back sides are made of worn wooden boards, which are the roofs of the yellow houses.

The front, back, left and right are not arranged completely according to this rule. There are many houses in other directions, and some are stacked on top of each other.

Lu Xichen searched for a long time but couldn't find any pattern.

When she saw a green carpet, she suddenly realized that no rules were the rule here.

The fall continued, Lu Xichen looked down, it was still a "bottomless abyss", and he didn't know when it would stop.

Increasing the amount of black fog, Lu Xichen allowed himself to remain suspended in the air.

She controlled the black mist to lift her up to the green carpet. Looking at the distorted room, she leaned against the edge and stepped in with one leg first.
