The rooms where everyone lives temporarily have a zigzag structure, with 4 rooms in each direction on the outside of the corridor and 4 rooms arranged in a field shape in the middle.

Li Ran led the members to start walking out of the room to explore the terrain.

"Captain, I didn't notice that there were so many people just now, but now I feel like it's so empty when I walk here." Wang Lingling patted her chest and tried her best to keep her breathing steady.

But when your feet step on empty corridors and stairs, they will make a crisp clicking sound.

"It's a problem with the building structure. Let's go down and take a look."

As soon as he turned down the stairs, a black wooden door opened with a creak, revealing a dark passage behind it.

The cold wind was so strong that Li Ran and the others immediately felt terrified.

"Fuck!!!"

The unprepared people were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Wang Lingling even covered her eyes and was speechless for a while.

"Why didn't we notice there was a door here when we came up?"

Captain Li Ran thought for a while and made a conjecture.

"At that time, everyone had just completed the task, and they ate a lot under the stress. The blood rushed to the stomach, and the brain would stop and make them sleepy, so they ignored many details around them."

Then he took the lead and went into the dark passage.

"let's go."

The passage was not actually completely dark. They suddenly came in from a bright place and before their eyes could adjust, they felt that it was extremely dark inside. Li Ran stood for more than ten seconds after entering the passage. After all the members behind him came in, he gradually saw what was inside the passage.

situation.

This passage is very narrow. You can touch the walls on both sides by raising your hands slightly. It is high or low. You can touch the top by stepping on your feet and raising your hands.

Moving forward in such a narrow passage, several people felt a lot of pressure.

Wang Lingling was protected by Li Ran and three others. She pressed her hands close to her chest and did not dare to touch objects beside her. It seemed as if something was trying to crawl out of the darkness.

The light behind them became dimmer as they walked further in. There were very few things in their hands that could illuminate the place, and the light was dim.

"Hehehe~~~"

"Hey hey hey~~~"

Deep in the passage, there was a sound of laughter that penetrated into the ears of the four people.

"There's a ghost, Captain, there's a ghost inside." Wang Lingling's voice was trembling.

"Don't be afraid, this is just a thing to scare people, deliberately creating an atmosphere." As the captain, Li Ran must keep his mind calm. He does not believe in ghosts and gods, so naturally he is not afraid, but Wang Lingling and Zhang Fan behind him are afraid of these.

Having said that, the sneers in the darkness were so captivating that they made people break out in cold sweat and make their teeth tremble.

"Hehehe~~~"

"Hey hey hey~~~"

The progress of the four people slowed down unconsciously, as if they were squeezed into a ball of cotton.

It felt like they had walked a long distance, but in fact they had only traveled less than 10 meters. The deeper they went, the thicker the darkness, and the clearer the laughter.

After taking a few more steps, Li Ran noticed that water marks began to appear on the wall in front of him.

Water droplets seeped out from the cracks in the wall and fell on the floor. There were also some white walls in the water, and there was a pungent smell of paint in the air.

Several people were more careful and tried to keep their bodies in the middle of the corridor.

"Creak~~~"

Captain Li Ran pushed open the wooden door at the end of the corridor.

There was only a dark room behind the wooden door at the end of the corridor. It was empty, old, but free of dust and cobwebs. There was a high platform in the middle of the room, which visually could allow a person as big as a fat man to lie on it.

At this moment, there was a wooden photo frame quietly placed on the table, with a color photo inside.

The photo shows four energetic young boys, holding each other's shoulders, laughing and looking at the camera. What appears behind them is a university dormitory.

Their young and tender faces show their longing for the future and the pursuit of dreams.

Looking at the familiar photos, the four of them were stunned and silent.

Captain Li Ran took the color photo out of the frame, turned it over, and saw an idiom.

"I'm so busy!"

Running out of tricks?

The four of them looked at each other, completely confused as to what these four words meant.

After a few seconds, Li Ran turned to the three people and said, "Let's check this room carefully to make sure we don't miss anything."

Conjectures flashed through Li Ran's mind. He didn't know where the frightening sneer just now came from. He didn't know the purpose of putting a color photo in the room. He didn't know what the plot of the ninth act was about.

What.

"The main story has not been revealed yet!" Li Ran sighed lightly, wanting to take the photo and go upstairs to discuss it with the cold-faced and rational man.

The members of the Jianran live broadcast team knocked on the floor and wall tiles one by one, and Wu Jiu also stood on the high platform and checked the ceiling. But there was no success.

"Let's go out. I'm afraid this photo is the most important here." Li Ran raised the photo in his hand and shouted to the team members.

"boom!"

However, at this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from behind them.

When they turned around, they saw that the wooden door they came in from was closed, and they were trapped here.

"Hehehe~~~"

"Hey hey hey~~~"

The weird laughter heard in the passage sounded again, and this time the sound was particularly clear.

"This laughter is neither male nor female, it sounds so weird." Wu Jie's pupils shrank and he noticed that the light in the room suddenly dimmed.

They subconsciously moved closer to each other and pressed their bodies together

Soon everything was dark, and then one block after another lit up, forming a set of wonderful patterns.

"Captain, there are 49 wall tiles shining brightly."

49 numbers are so loud, there are 49 personalities in the movie "The Expanse", and there are 49 wall tiles glowing in this room. There must be a connection between the two.

Li Ran tried to get closer to a lit wall brick. After careful observation, he found that they were made of a special material and the light source should be behind the brick.

No matter whether he pressed down or looked for a gap at the edge to pry it open, he failed.

"Captain, the ones here are not good either." Zhang Fan and Wu Jie both checked a few shiny wall tiles.

"I'm sending a message to Heiyuan." Li Ran decided not to compete with his own shortcomings, and naturally thought of the best person to solve the problem.

They are players, and for live streaming, there are no restrictions on mobile phones and other devices. However, the mobile phones of NPCs in the game are required by the organizer to be stored in the storage box by default and cannot be taken out.

There was a reply quickly.

"Wait for me for one minute."

Heiyuan quickly ended his conversation with the NPC, trotted to the black door under the stairs, entered the passage, and opened the wooden door from the outside.

With just one scan, he understood.

"The lighted places on the wall have a certain special arrangement. The props we currently have are not sufficient and we cannot decipher them yet. Let's leave first."

The five people filed out and passed the water mark area, Heiyuan stopped.

"There won't be water seepage here for no reason, there must be a foreshadowing."

In his mind, he began to piece together the existing building structure. He followed the water mark and discovered that it was an unknown area. The room connected to this unknown area was Room 8, the room of senior brothers Hei Mao and Lin Zhan.

Several people behind him were stunned when they heard this. While secretly praising Hei Yuan for his unparalleled intelligence, they also secretly lamented that their own side was useless. Four people came in, but no one noticed this detail.

What frightened them even more was yet to come.

When the five people got out of the passage and faced the black wooden door, Heiyuan pointed to the groove on the edge of the wooden door frame and said: "When we came here after dinner, there was no such wooden door here. You see, there are grooves here, indicating that at the beginning

This door is still hidden."

He looked around and found a 2cm-thick decorative panel hidden in the groove on the left. Then he pinched a position with his slender fingers, pulled hard to the right, and pulled out a door of the same color from the wall like a magic trick.

Wall panels with the same pattern.

The wall panels fit tightly and are stuck outside the black wooden door.

"You can't even notice that there is a wooden door hidden here if you don't look carefully." Heiyuan smiled faintly, glowing with confidence.

"There is a mechanism here, and it will open automatically at a certain moment."

Heiyuan's speculation was recognized by everyone.

Their next target is Room 8 upstairs. If Heiyuan's guess is correct, something can be found in that room.

Li Ran, the leader of the Jieran live broadcast team, handed the photos found in the room to Heiyuan and said, "This is the clue we found in the room just now. Take a look."

The content of the photo was already very familiar. They had found an identical photo in the initial room of the Qimingshan Mental Hospital in the eighth scene of the Hongmeng Pavilion.

It’s just the words written on the back that are different!
