Why is my time traveling to the second dimension such a weird rule story?

"In addition, the situation in 205 is also very strange. The two corpses and the sealed kitchen door are all abnormal. In addition, I think there should be something abnormal in Room 210 of that person Lao Guo. He once reminded There is no danger from my corpse, but if he is the owner of 210, the corpse inside should not attack him during the day."

"The rules are weird. After all, you must abide by the rules. Even if there are exceptions, there should be corresponding reasons and corresponding truths. But I have never figured out what reasons are included in the exceptions 204, 205 and 210."

"What do you think, the eldest lady of the Shinomiya family?"

As Gao Hai finished his last words, the light outside the window completely disappeared at this moment.

"Who knows, even I can't make a conclusion without enough information. In addition, compared to this kind of thing that can't be answered, I am more curious about another thing. That thing, I will Ask you tomorrow."

Kaguya's voice sounded in the darkness, then fell silent.

Silence spread in the unrelated room.

Gao Hai just sat down against the wall, quietly waiting for the night to end.

silent.

A dark, silent place.

Gao Hai suddenly remembered a story he had heard. Two people made a bet and let one of them live in a haunted house for three days. If he came out well after three days, he would be given a generous bonus. So this man lived in the haunted house. Of course, there isn't actually a haunted house, it's just another bet that another person is doing something haunting in the mansion. On the first day, the hiding people made all kinds of strange noises in the house, but they did not scare the residents. On the second day, the hiding people made more terrifying noises and various supernatural events. , but still failed to do anything to the residents.

Then, on the third day, the hider did nothing, and nothing abnormal happened in the haunted house on the third day. As a result, the resident couldn't stand the silence and escaped from the haunted house in advance, failing to complete the bet.

To make people fearful, it does not necessarily mean that some scary monster appears or some strange movement occurs.

In fact, just sitting in a dark environment like this, with limited vision and such silence, is enough to make people's nerves tense and unbearable.

It’s really hard.

Gao Hai couldn't fall asleep or keep a relaxed mind.

I don’t know what’s going on with Kaguya opposite, haha, maybe she has been replaced by something weird at this moment, and it’s possible that she is standing in front of me and staring at me.

The imaginative Gao Hai couldn't help but come up with such a picture.

Close your eyes.

Gao Hai, who was leaning against the wall, waited quietly.

Gradually, the energy of the random thoughts in my mind seemed to dissipate a lot.

Gradually, it seems that I can hear something and see something...

what is it then?

Such a sound... it sounded so fiercely that it would be repeated almost every few days...

Gao Hai opened his eyes hazily.

【Let’s swing the oars~?】

Is it the children's singing that sounds in the corridor?

Gao Hai slowly stood up, turned his head and looked at the bed next to him.

He saw Kaguya lying on the bed, sleeping peacefully.

He saw himself lying on the bed, staring at him.

His head was crushed from the middle, one side of his torso was almost flattened, and he was covered in red and white stains.

He saw his own eyeball hanging on the side of the broken head, and saw the body of the broken head standing in the living room reflected in the eyeball staring at him.

"So this is ah……"

Chapter 28: Phantom and reality in the distant past

I am in a dream.

In a daze, Gao Hai understood this fact inexplicably.

Everything around him was dyed with a dreamlike and blurry color at this time, and in the tattered 204, he saw Shinomiya Kaguya resting on the bed. The one who was already lying next to Kaguya was crushed by a truck. Brain's self.

So that's it.

In a daze, Gao Hai finally understood his identity.

204 It is not that there is no body, but that there is a person who replaces the identity of the body, and that person is himself.

His identity on the second floor is not that of a resident, but that of a corpse.

Even though he is actually a living person who can breathe, have a heartbeat, and have body temperature, in the judgment mechanism of this apartment, he actually assumes the identity of [the corpse in the room].

Why?

He is not a corpse, he is a living person.

Invisible knocks on the door can affect him, strange things that take away the appearance of a living person can identify and track him, open windows can pollute his spirit, and the doll-like children he met on the third floor directly affect him. He was dunked into boiling water and died alive.

All of this illustrates the fact that Gao Hai is a completely alive person.

Of course, his willpower is extraordinary, so he can struggle and resist except for the "child" who is directly killed in the final plot, but this does not conflict with the fact that he is a living human being who can be injured, hungry, and die.

In other words, did I just replace an "identity"?

Just like a bug, he will be hunted by the ghost story force like a normal player, and he must pay attention to his own safety and move carefully at all times. If he is hungry, thirsty, or needs to poop, he must take action for all these needs. But in addition to this, he has an identity that a normal player does not have, an identity that is more in line with the rules of the apartment than a "player" and can be partially recognized by this apartment. His identity in this copy is "corpse".

This identity cannot play a role when he directly faces various threats in the apartment, because he is a living person after all, and he will be exposed at a glance. But for the invisible rules in this apartment, he really got stuck and disguised one of the identities.

The advantage of this is that if he wants to act at night, he and Kaguya will not be tracked by corpses. Although the danger of the night itself still exists, the most troublesome and inescapable problem of corpse tracking is something that he and Kaguya do not need to consider.

Although it is not very meaningful, it is indeed more or less useful.

But why?

Why can he get such an identity?

Gao Hai slowly squatted down and looked at the mutilated corpse lying on the bed.

He knew the source of the image of the corpse.

That was his imagination of his image after death in his previous life. After all, according to the last scene he saw before he lost consciousness, the tire of the truck should have rolled over his head and then half of his chest. Considering that it was an overloaded heavy truck, Gao Hai felt that his image after death would not be good-looking, so he came up with such a picture.

And now, in this lucid dream, what he saw in his eyes was a corpse exactly the same as he imagined.

"Is it because of you?"

Gao Hai lowered his head and looked at the watch he was wearing.

This strange thing, whose origin is unknown, is full of secrets and hidden dangers, but it actually gives him the opportunity to regenerate.

It links to a huge city.

A long-dead city, but the corpses in it are still repeating the scene before life, and everything is repeating the broken city at the last moment before destruction.

Could it be this thing that changed his original player identity and made him stuck in this bug?

If so, does it mean that in order to pass this game, he must act at night? In order to get the real truth and find the right way to survive, there are some things that he must check at night to get the right answer?

And what does this lucid dream I am having at this moment mean? Why am I trapped in this strange dream at this moment and see my disguised identity in this copy? Is this dream my own dream or the dream of something else?

Gao Hai turned around and looked at the living room door of 204.

The corpse and Kaguya on the bed were still motionless.

And he had already walked to the door of this door.

Reached out and held the door handle.

Creaky——

Behind the slowly opened door, there was a dark corridor.

Gao Hai could see every furnishing in the corridor, every floor tile, and every crack on the wall.

At this moment, the darkness seemed to no longer block his vision.

So he stepped into the corridor, closed the door, and then walked towards the door, and walked to the anti-theft door repaired by Sun Dajun.

Someone's voice seemed to be ringing outside the door.

Gao Hai took a step closer and put his ear to the crack of the door.

[Team 1 reports that a total of 25 residents on the first floor have been evacuated]

[Team 2 reports that a total of 27 residents on the second floor have been basically evacuated. We are escorting the residents of 204 to leave. This is the last batch of residents on the second floor]

[This is the command post. Where is Team 3? The weather is getting very bad now. The flood peak is expected to arrive early. What's the situation on your side, Team 3? ]

The voice of the young man with full energy, accompanied by the sound of the intercom.

In the distance, it seems that the sound of the radio can be heard outside, accompanied by the sound of car horns and the sound of extremely fierce rainstorms.

[Something happened in 304. This family refused to open the door. They refused to evacuate]

[What's going on? What's wrong with that family? The water has almost flooded half of the first floor, but they still won't leave.]

[Commander, something is wrong with this family. Please allow us to break in. Also, please ask the brothers from Team 1 and Team 2 who haven't left yet to come up...]

Amid the noise, Gao Hai heard footsteps passing quickly through the corridor outside the door.

This seemed to be an echo from a certain moment in the past.

When did it happen?

304... What happened there...

Click--

When I realized it, my finger had already unconsciously placed on the door handle.

The sound of the heavy rain outside the house disappeared.

And Gao Hai had walked out of 204 and came to the corridor the next moment.

[Old man, I will help you walk]

There was a voice passing by my ears, vague, as if it was separated by a long distance.

Gao Hai turned around and saw two figures coming out of 204 behind him.

There were many more people in the corridor.

Their faces were blurry and their figures were flickering.

Gao Hai tried hard to observe their appearance, but could only barely see that these people seemed to be wearing orange-yellow rescue suits.

Rescue workers... evacuating apartment residents... flood... heavy rain...

He remembered when this happened.

[Let's go, old man]

The two figures had already stepped into the stairs.

And Gao Hai realized at this time that he had unknowingly come to the corridor on the first floor.

Amid the sound of rushing water, the dirty, muddy water had already flooded over people's calves.

And a series of phantoms had already crossed the corridor and walked towards the door of the apartment.

Gao Hai saw many phantoms walking up the stairs.

[What's going on up there? ]

[It seems that the family in 304 discovered it... How could this happen...]

[First control the people and bring them out, don't destroy the scene, how could the evacuation work turn out like this? ]

Bang!

A heavy explosion sounded upstairs.

The sound of a man cursing and a woman screaming heartbreakingly sounded together.

All kinds of noises intertwined in a chaotic manner, one after another, making it difficult to distinguish the situation upstairs.

Gao Hai had no way to see what was happening there.

His vision seemed to be limited to following the two phantoms in front of him, and along with the two phantoms, he was moving towards the gate little by little.

The sound from upstairs was gradually approaching downstairs, approaching him.

The man was still roaring, and seemed to be struggling desperately.
