Wanjie: Starting from the Back Room

Panting.

A man in a yellow protective suit was running in a special space, breathing like a bellows.

The space was made up of rooms covered with yellow wallpaper.

The incandescent lamp on the ceiling made a squeak of electricity, but he had no time to care about it now, because a three-meter-high monster was following him closely.

‘Damn, how could there be a monster here! ! ’

The monster was made up of tissues similar to wires, and its tentacle-like ‘hands’ stretched forward desperately.

A shrill scream came from the black head that looked like a wooden fish, although this monster made of wires didn’t seem to have a throat.

He didn’t dare to look back or even slow down.

Adrenaline made him feel no fatigue for a short time, but such a hopeless escape made him feel that he was about to be swallowed by fear.

Just when he was about to give up, a door appeared in his sight.

A wooden door appeared on the yellow wall.

‘Door? ! ’

A force surged from his body, making his tired body speed up again.

He might die if he entered this unknown wooden door, but he would definitely die if he didn’t enter. This was not a choice at all.

He used all his strength to crash into the wooden door. In an instant, the roar of the monster disappeared, and he fell heavily to the ground.

He lay on his back on the ground, looking at the gray sky through the protective mask.

‘Survived…’

The sore feeling from his legs made him not want to move at all.

“What is this place? There is no record in the data at all… Is it a new level?”

Just as he was about to get up, a voice full of suppressed anger came from behind him.

“I… have been imprisoned for 10,000 years and expelled from my hometown.”

“Now you dare to break into my territory! You are courting death!”

Hearing this second-year voice, he lay motionless on the ground, and a young man stood behind him.

An Asian man in his twenties, wearing a blue T-shirt and a pair of ordinary jeans, was standing behind him and looking at him calmly.

He didn't dare to move, let alone laugh, when he heard the other party's speech that sounded like a second-year disease.

There was no reason, simply because there was a long sword made of small lime-colored cubes against his neck.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Yang Tao. Welcome to my world."

This was the first time in his life that he was welcomed with a sword against his neck, and he hoped to experience it only once in his life.

But it was strange that the language the other party spoke was not English at all, but it was very strange that he could clearly understand what the other party meant.

Especially in this strange place, everything cannot be careless. He adjusted his mentality and asked carefully: "Are you a wanderer? Where is this place?"

The environment here is obviously completely different from the Level 0 where he was just now, so he had such a question.

Wanderers are a general term for people who accidentally enter the [Back Room].

The [Back Room] is an inner world relative to the [Antechamber] (real world).

In the [Antechamber], you can get to the [Back Room] by some special methods, including but not limited to the "stuck box" method in "Crossfire", walking backwards with a camera and falling down (sure).

Yang Tao was very excited when he saw the "Minions" in front of him who could communicate. The reason why he had such a second-year speech just now was because he had been kicked into this strange space by "people" for a week.

He tried many methods, but there was no way to leave this space shrouded in gray fog, and the [bedrock] under his feet could not be destroyed.

That's right, it is a kind of block in "Minecraft" that cannot be destroyed or mined by conventional means in survival mode and adventure mode.

And his "golden finger"... It's a bit inappropriate to say that it's not a golden finger, it's better to say that he has become Steve in "Minecraft".

Now he has health, hunger value, backpack, quick inventory... It can be said that he basically has everything Steve has.

It's just that he is not a block man.

"Where is this? Didn't I tell you just now? This is my world."

Looking at the protective mask on the other person's head that couldn't see his face clearly, Yang Tao smiled and said: "Sit up now, take off your protective mask and let me see you to make sure you are human."

From the beginning, the yellow protective suit on the other person made him feel inexplicably familiar.

When the other person asked him if he was a wanderer, he had a guess about the origin of this little yellow man.

The man hesitated for a moment and finally stretched out his hand slowly.He slowly took off the hood on his head. He was about 30 years old, with blond hair and blue eyes, and had the appearance of a standard European and American handsome man. However, the bloodshot eyes and pale and sickly face greatly reduced his handsome appearance.

"Very good. Now I ask you questions and you answer them. I hope you can cooperate well."

"What's your name? Of course you can make up a name, mainly for the convenience of me to call you."

"And where are you from?"

During the conversation, Yang Tao did not let the other party stand up, and the stone sword in his hand was also close to the other party's neck, ensuring that he could launch an attack at the first time if any accident occurred.

"Eric, you can call me Eric. I am from Level 0. I came here accidentally because I was chased by an entity. I apologize for any offense."

Hearing Level 0, Yang Tao immediately confirmed his guess.

'Shouldn't the back room be just an urban legend? '

In 2019, a picture circulated in the famous forum 4chan-a corridor covered with yellow wallpaper. The dim color and old lights looked a little weird, but that was all. Until someone replied in the comment area: If you accidentally leave the real world in the wrong place, you will enter the backrooms.

Since then, the [Backrooms] ghost story was born on the Internet.

'I have become Steve, and it seems that it is not unacceptable to travel to the backroom world, but now the question is which version of the backroom this is...'

There are many versions of [Backrooms], but the mainstream ones are fandom, wikidot and kane.

In addition to some basic settings, the contents of the three versions are very different.

The reason why he was not sure was that the 'Minions' only existed in the Kane version, but the Kane version did not have the concept of hierarchy.

This was very confusing.

The stone sword in his hand suddenly disappeared in his hand.

Looking at the other person's eyes, he handed his hand to the other person and said: "Eric, nice to meet you."
