Chapter 70 Dormitory Elevator
Lin Yi had a strong doubt in his heart, but at the moment when he had this doubt, his train of thought suddenly turned around like a drain drifting, and then he used the butt of a car to abruptly reverse the thought he was about to start.
An muttered:
"Even if the elevator in this dormitory today is a fucking Transformer, I don't want to worry about it."
He followed the squirming flow of people and kept pushing forward, and soon walked up the steps in front of the dormitory building and entered a brightly lit corridor.
As he stepped onto the steps, he did not forget to look down at the moss growing in the gaps between the steps.
This entire corridor is an arc-shaped structure, like the base of a hula hoop structure in a dormitory building.
In the corridor, there is an elevator room every three to five meters.
The elevator door kept opening and closing, and about ten people entered each time. Then after the elevator door closed, three to five seconds later, the door opened again.
After the door opened, there was a spacious and empty elevator room inside.
The original people were nowhere to be seen, as if they had been eaten by the elevator.
Walking in the corridor, Lin Yi found a line written in front of each elevator:
【Each elevator is designed to carry ten people. 】
it turns out that only ten people enter each elevator.
It was his turn soon, but he happened to be the tenth person in the elevator, so he chose to wait for the next elevator and gave up the tenth person's position to the classmate behind him and Wei Liang.
He glanced at the elevator number.
Then he withdrew his gaze and calmly glanced at the ten people in the elevator room.
These ten people have different expressions. Seven of them have relatively numb expressions and have not brought anything with them. They are obviously old students at first glance. The remaining three are carrying a backpack, and some are also carrying a handbag. They have awkward expressions and their eyes are wandering around the interior of the elevator. They are obviously new students.
"哐...锵!"
The elevator door closed in front of Lin Yi with the sound of hunting wind. With the last sound of "Clang", Lin Yi couldn't help but feel an indescribable feeling in his heart.
This feeling is a bit like he closed the door when he left the classroom, and a bit like he traveled from one area to another. It feels like a weird sense of fragmentation in a casual way, but it's completely impossible to describe in a more detailed way.
At this moment, there was an obvious sound of mechanism running from inside the elevator door.
This sound is different from any mechanical sound he has heard in his whole life, nor is it like the sound of machinery in science fiction movies. To put it another way, it is like the sound of the mechanism of the Snake Spirit Cave in Calabash Baby plus some bubble sounds.
Like something like a rattling sound...
Immediately afterwards, the elevator opened with a "bang..." and as expected, there was no trace of anyone inside the elevator.
With some curiosity, Lin Yi followed Wei Liang into the elevator.
This is a very traditional passenger elevator, more like the elevators in some high-end commercial buildings than in dormitories.
There are four LED lights on the top of the elevator interior, and there are floor button panels on each side of the elevator door.
The buttons on the floor are composed of simple "on", "off", numbers "1" ~ "39" and several traditional symbols, like a small yellow speaker and a red "↑"... Wait, what symbol is this?
Lin Yi looked at the "↑" button. There was a plastic cover on the outside, with a big "×" on the cover.
Lin Yi was stunned.
The position of this button is very subtle. Judging from the button sequence, its position seems to refer to a non-existent... 40th floor.
The remaining eight people each pressed the button for the floor of their dormitory. Wei Liang saw that Lin Yi was observing the panel, so he took the initiative to press "14".
The dormitory they reserved is "1414", which is the 14th dormitory on the 14th floor.
There are rules for making reservations in this dormitory.
Theoretically, for the sake of safe escape, when choosing the floor of the dormitory, you should ensure that you can use the stairwell to leave the dormitory quickly when the elevator is unavailable. Therefore, the lower the floor, the better.
But there are not a few people who have this consideration, so the dormitories within the 10th floor are basically booked out, and many people don't want to share rooms with strangers to fill the vacancies, so they have broadened their options little by little.
As for the "1414" that Lin Yi and the others chose, because it sounded unlucky, not many people made reservations. It was a rare dormitory that was completely vacant.
Of course, if you don't choose "1414", if you want to choose a 6-person dormitory, you have to go to the 35th floor.
As for the 35th floor and above...if something goes wrong with the elevator, it might be better to jump off the building instead of going downstairs.
Wei Liang stepped aside after pressing the button, while Lin Yi silently stood aside and shrank into a corner near the door.
Although the elevator is designed to carry only ten people, when ten people stand there, the remaining space is not crowded.
Soon, Lin Yi keenly caught some shaking sensations.
This tremor is very subtle, like the wind in the elevator passage blowing onto the elevator car, causing a tremor.
But Lin Yi faintly felt something was wrong. That kind of wind... made him feel abnormal.
He suppressed the discomfort and began to wait for the elevator door to close.
As the elevator door closed, a feeling of being cut off from the outside world instantly filled Lin Yi's heart, causing his discomfort to reach its peak in an instant.
The elevator is very spacious, and the LED lights on the top illuminate the elevator thoroughly. There are no dark corners, but Lin Yi feels very depressed. He is a little disgusted with this physical feeling, as if he is sealed in an airtight pressure vessel, and subconsciously he has an urge to break out of the cage.
His breathing became thicker and deeper, and he subconsciously moved closer to the side of the elevator car, as if he wanted to embed himself in a corner.
altogether
The elevator rose steadily and continued to accelerate. The manic wind kept tearing at the outer wall of the elevator car. The already uncomfortable vibration began to rise straight up. In the blink of an eye, the entire elevator began to shake.
Lin Yi gritted his teeth, but he thought that the elevator door would open 3 to 5 seconds after closing, and then the people inside would disappear.
He then took a deep breath, using this method to control the strong discomfort and impulse, and then began to keep himself calm.
1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds, 5 seconds...
Half a minute has passed, and the elevator door has no tendency to open at all.
He kept breathing evenly, using this method to relieve the pressure from a confined space like the elevator. Then he lowered his head and glanced at the time on his watch.
21:04.
His eyes did not leave the dial, but continued to stare at the second hand on the dial.
34 seconds, 35 seconds, 36 seconds...
Time is passing at an observable speed, and no abnormalities can be seen.
But the elevator door never opened. Not only did it not open, stronger earthquakes continued to be felt on the outer wall of the elevator.
It's like being held by an invisible hand and shaking the elevator up and down.
Lin Yi, who was close to the elevator car, vaguely caught some unusual fluctuations.
Such a sense of fluctuation often comes from some kind of high-speed running machinery, like a racing car that is sprinting at full speed, but the key point is... what maintains the acceleration and sprinting state is an elevator.
What kind of monster elevator needs to be accelerated for one minute? Come on, you don’t need to do this to get to the Statue of Liberty, right?
After a few more seconds of intense violence, the elevator gradually began to brake and finally stopped smoothly. Then, there was just a "ding" sound, and the number on the floor display jumped to the 18th floor.
"18th floor?!" Lin Yi's expression instantly became strange.
He glanced at the floor button.
The buttons that are lit are the 7th floor, the 8th floor, the 11th floor, the 13th floor, the 14th floor, the 17th floor, the 20th floor and the 23rd floor. The button representing the 18th floor is indeed off.
But...you haven't stopped at the previous floors yet, so why did you go directly to the 18th floor?
What the hell?
Just when Lin Yi was hesitating, a classmate in the elevator saw that no one was coming out, so he couldn't help but said, "We're on the 18th floor, is there no one getting off?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a girl next to Lin Yi who had been immersed in reading raised her head in surprise.
"Huh? The 18th floor?"
She adjusted her glasses, glanced at the floor display with some surprise, and then looked at the button panel, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Seems to be saying: Why didn’t the floor in front stop?
But when the floor arrived, she arrived. She quickly nodded and bowed and apologized: "Sorry, sorry...I'll be out right away..."
After saying that, she closed the book and walked out of the elevator. As she walked, she seemed to be keeping her guard up. With that suspicious look, he was still muttering: "Strange, why did you get to the 18th floor first?"
Lin Yi looked at her and couldn't help but secretly thought something was wrong for her. This girl was obviously here for the first time, and she had already started to think about the problem!
This is the same as he was yesterday, but the girl is alone, and he is accompanied by Wei Liang.
The elevator door was about to close, but the girl suddenly thought of something as if she had a sudden inspiration, and suddenly entered the elevator.
"Ah, wait a minute, wait a minute, don't close it yet!" The girl hurriedly came to Lin Yi's side, picked up the bag on the floor, and then exited the elevator while saying "Sorry".
Just when Lin Yi wanted to remind the girl not to think wildly, the elevator door had already closed with a clang.
The moment the elevator door closed, Lin Yi seemed to see the faint mist lingering at the girl's feet, like a group of snakes...
Lin Yi couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, and his mood gradually became heavier.
"What a Shabby." A classmate with a schoolbag hanging on his shoulder bared his teeth and cursed coldly, "Taking the same elevator with such a nerd is such a waste of time..."
Lin Yi didn’t make a sound, pretending that he didn’t hear the classmate’s voice.
The elevator continued to run, and he continued to look at the time on his watch.
But this time, the elevator stopped after only 15 seconds. It stopped on the 11th floor. A classmate with a numb expression left the elevator.
The elevator continued to run and stopped at the 20th floor 47 seconds later. The classmate who was cursing just now walked out carrying his schoolbag.
Lin Yi observed his back and the surrounding environment calmly.
The corridor on the 20th floor is exactly the same as the 18th and 11th floors. When you look out, you will see a curved corridor filled with incandescent lights. Dormitories are scattered on both sides of the corridor.
Lin Yi watched him leave until the elevator door was completely closed.
The elevator continued to run, the wind howling like a devil's whisper.
…
20th floor of the dormitory building.
The elevator door was closed, and the entire corridor seemed a little darker.
The boy was holding a bag and walking at a leisurely pace with a somewhat arrogant pace.
2001, 2002, 2003...
He looked at the door number of the dormitory, walked cautiously along the corridor, and then turned a corner naturally.
"Huh...?"
He was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized something, and looked back uncertainly.
"I just... seemed to have walked around a corner?"
He looked back, only to find that there was no corner behind him at all.
His eyes couldn't help but have a look of doubt.
"What... situation?"
He subconsciously touched the back of his head.
Suddenly he felt his hand being breathed by some extremely cold breath.
His body stiffened slightly, and boundless fear rushed toward him like a Pandora's box had been opened. He didn't know what was happening behind him, but the strong fear of the unknown occupied his brain in an instant.
He ran as fast as he could, not even bothering to check what the house number was.
gene through in in indescribable strange noises from behind him , like countless ants crawling on his body .
He heard a faint sound of wind coming from behind him again. This wind followed his figure like a ghost, following him like a poisonous snake.
"Don't chase me! Don't chase me..."
He instinctively closed his eyes, then took a breath and sprinted.
But after taking a few steps, he felt himself hit hard against a cold wall.
He was so confused that he opened his eyes in a daze.
He saw a house number. The number on the house number was a character that he didn't recognize at all. It looked like English with special symbols, or some kind of strange Arabic, or it might be the hieroglyph of some tribe or clan...
When he saw this kind of character, some ancient and mysterious pattern slowly flowed into his mind, as if he had learned it without a teacher.
He thought about some indescribable and terrifying things completely uncontrollably. His pupils slowly dilated until they dilated, and his body gradually lost its temperature until it became extremely cold.
His throat began to make uncontrollably some kind of human sound, no, some kind of sound that did not belong to any species in this world.
It was like a strong wind blowing in his blood, sweeping through his bones, devouring his marrow, and then whizzing around in the hollow bones, making a whimpering sound in the narrow cracks.
Countless broken and chaotic pictures appeared in front of his eyes. Countless thoughts filled his mind at this moment, and terrifying information flowed into his brain.
At this moment, he had an unpleasant feeling that he was not vomiting, but when he opened his mouth, countless syllables were twisted and intertwined, twisted together like hemp ropes, and finally only one word of the most primitive and pure fear was left:
"Ah..."
"Ah - ah——"
Merry Christmas acridine!
Thanks to the water friend "an unknown book friend piggy" for the reward! !
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooovisvisvis on... I was fucked up yesterday. I went out to repair my phone in the afternoon, so I used the experience machine in the mobile phone store to code, and I coded about 1,500 words. When I paid, the lock screen of the experience machine automatically cleared the document. Oooh... I couldn't find it back at all. People from the experience store. He said that he forgot to remind me that I would clean up this matter, but I didn't expect this for a while... It's so miserable. When I get home, I'm still a thousand words short of 1:30. I can't code anymore, so I can only finish coding during the day and update...
