I made myself the protagonist

"Go downstairs!"

Shen Tinglan turned around and saw dense black hair and tentacles stretching out from the laboratory, chasing after the two of them in the direction of their escape.

"Turn right ahead and jump down!"

After seeing the direction of the stairs, Shen Tinglan sped up. Beside him, Su Li was also not far behind. Due to his strengthened physique and years of exercise, Su Li's skills were not much worse than those of other men.

Seeing the tentacle mixed with the fishy wind, swishing through the open door in the corridor; Shen Tinglan understood that once caught by it, it would be sucked into a mummy like a corpse in a laboratory.

The tentacle was very fast, and in the blink of an eye it appeared less than one meter behind the two of them. Seeing that it was too late to take the stairs, Shen Tinglan gritted his teeth and increased his speed.

The moment they were about to reach the corner of the stairs, the two of them had almost no hesitation. They adopted the same escape method: grabbing the stair railing with both hands, leaping with their bodies, and jumped from the fourth floor.

Fortunately, the floor was not high, and Shen Tinglan and Su Li were more agile than ordinary people. When they jumped down, they grabbed the handrails of the third floor respectively, stabilized their bodies, and swung back up the stairs.

After landing safely, Shen Tinglan and Su Li pressed against the wall respectively, holding their breath and not daring to make any sound.

The disgusting bunch of tentacles wandered in the corridor above their heads for a few seconds. Without finding any prey, they quickly retracted back to the original experimental classroom like an ebbing tide.

However, the danger had just passed, and before he could take a breath, the radio in the corner of the corridor suddenly made a harsh noise.

Shen Tinglan keenly smelled a faint pungent smell; he immediately looked at the air vent on the ceiling, and then discovered that there was a green mist floating continuously above the room: As the radio warned, in Ten minutes into the game, the experimental building began to inject poison gas into the building!

Shen Tinglan covered his mouth and nose with his elbow. He glanced at Su Li and handed the gas mask to him without hesitation.

The latter glanced at him quite unexpectedly. Shen Tinglan lowered his voice and said: "The poisonous gas has not accumulated to a lethal dose yet. I will try my best to control my breathing. Let's exchange uses."

"Thank you." Su Li took the gas mask and immediately put it on his face.

The two were about to go downstairs when soon, a player's scream came from the corridor on the third floor.

Shen Tinglan cautiously touched the wall and looked out, and found a young man holding a gas mask in his hand and rushing out of the laboratory. He kept looking back behind him, his expression full of fear.

"Don't go, save me..."

At the door of a laboratory not far from the corridor, there was a middle-aged woman lying on the ground. She was holding the door with both hands desperately, crying for help from the man, but her calf was tightly wrapped by a circle of flesh-colored tentacles. Suddenly, a huge strange force was dragging her, pulling the middle-aged woman back into the house little by little.

With a strong desire to survive, the woman bit her lips tightly and scratched the ground with her hands. Her nails were broken due to excessive force, and a lot of blood flowed.

She turned around in horror and found that the tentacles had pierced into her calf, like some kind of living insect, and began to suck her flesh and blood. Then, more tentacles stretched out from the ground and rushed towards her face. Door.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The middle-aged woman let out a cry of pain, but soon, the tentacles followed her ears and penetrated into her mouth. Then they suddenly swelled and jumped up from the ground like a giant python.

Soon, it dropped the woman who had been sucked into a mummy and chased the other escaping player.

The player stumbled while running. At the same time, Shen Tinglan's figure appeared at the corner of the stairs ahead.

"Quick, run here! As long as you leave the third floor, it won't chase you!"

Seeing that the player was still about ten meters away from him, and the tentacles had already caught up to less than half a meter behind him, Shen Tinglan knew that there was nothing he could do now, so he could only remind the player loudly: "Don't look back. Run!!!"

However, when he heard the movement behind him, and under the pressure of extreme fear, the player did not follow Shen Tinglan's instructions and sullenly escape, but couldn't help but look behind him.

The moment he saw the bloody tentacles about to touch him, it was precisely because of this fatal glance that his mentality was affected and his speed slowed down.

"No, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

The man shouted while taking out a teleportation talisman prop from his pocket.

"Don't..." After seeing the other party doing this, Shen Tinglan subconsciously wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

The opponent activated the teleportation talisman and immediately shook off the tentacles behind him, moving to about one meter in front of him.

But the next second, before the man could be happy, the expression on his face froze.

I saw that the skin all over his body was like cracked land, and cracks began to appear. As the other party screamed in pain, those cracks gradually expanded, stretching his body like an expanding balloon, and then "bang" ——The man's body turned into countless light blue light particles and dissipated in the air.

Just as the witch warned: once a player uses abilities or props to cheat, they will be directly obliterated by the space.

After the man died, the gas mask he was holding fell to the ground, and was immediately thrown to the wall by flesh-colored tentacles.

Shen Tinglan clenched his fists and quickly retreated back to the stairwell. After the tentacles disappeared, he carefully walked out and picked up the paper ball and mobile phone that the previous player had dropped on the ground when he died.

"The password for the third floor has also been found. Let's go down first and check on the others."

After putting away the clues, Shen Tinglan stepped forward and picked up the gas mask, but unfortunately found that the mask had been damaged during the escape and could no longer be used normally.

Ten minutes after returning to the mission, the number of players in the lobby on the first floor had rapidly shrunk from the previous eight to five. In addition to the two players on the third floor, a man responsible for searching the first floor died.

Everyone took out the clues they found. They found paper balls with passwords written on the corpses on each floor. In total, there were four sets of numbers. Not only that, the corpses on each floor also wore a gas mask. Masks, except for the damaged one, there are three masks left.

Shen Tinglan found a few rags in the safe laboratory and distributed them to everyone, wetted them with water and covered his mouth and nose.

Since the building was filled with poisonous gas, the five people had to take turns using masks and carefully control their speaking and breathing rates.

"There are four sets of passwords to choose from."

The male player who had previously suggested grouping up said: "We must hurry up. Even if we have gas masks, we won't be able to last long when the poisonous gas fills the building."

"How about we try it one by one? There is no limit on the number of password attempts on the radio."

A female player sitting on the ground leaning against the wall spoke. Her face was pale, and her forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

It is worth noting that the opponent's calf was punctured with a bloody hole and was bleeding continuously. Due to the severe injury, she had temporarily lost her ability to move.

Seeing that someone was injured, Shen Tinglan immediately took out the gauze he carried with him from his pocket and briefly treated her wound. The female player thanked Shen Tinglan gratefully and then introduced herself. Her name was Ji Sha , I am twenty-five years old and an accountant.

Taking advantage of this period of time, the other two male players also reported their names. The young man with thick eyebrows, big eyes and good facial features was named Joey Yang, who was a Taobao anchor; and the other middle-aged man with a slightly fat body and thick features was named Tan Jian.中,Occupation is truck driver.

It has been 18 minutes since the game started. Looking at the four pieces of paper on the ground, Tan Jianzhong swallowed his saliva, looked at the exhaust vent above his head where poisonous gas was constantly floating, and said to everyone: "I agree with Ji Sha. , Anyway, there are only these few passwords, can’t we try them one by one? If we don’t hurry up, poisonous gas will be released again soon.”

"Don't rush to enter the password yet. If we make a mistake, there may be other punishment items waiting for us. After all, the game didn't say there were tentacles in the laboratory at the beginning, right? So I want to make sure with everyone before that. , what characteristics did you find on the corpse?" Shen Tinglan asked.

Shen Tinglan's words were not unreasonable. After hearing what he said, the other three people all called up the photos of the corpse taken on their mobile phones.
