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

Close your eyes.

Open your eyes.

The girl was slightly startled, and then she saw the thing that crawled out of the corridor again, the weird thing that looked like a baby and a puppet.

It was also looking at her, although because it was too dark in the corridor, she couldn't see the expression on the thing's face. But Jianzi was 100% sure that the thing was looking at her at this time, staring at her face without blinking.

Then, Jianzi raised her head and looked at the other side of the corridor, looking at the stairs extending to the third floor.

A girl walked down from above.

The girl was staggering, bloody, and something like intestines fell from her skirt and dragged on the ground, and her steps were shaking.

The smell of blood stimulated the girl's nasal cavity and nerves.

But the next moment, she couldn't see or feel these things.

Because Gao Hai had completely left the staircase with her on his back and entered the area on the second floor.

The moment she left the staircase and entered the corridor, Jianzi found that the things she had seen before disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed.

However, there was no trace of relief on the girl's face.

"... This is a trap."

Jianzi, who got off Gao Hai's back, said softly after a long silence.

"What did you see?"

Gao Hai knew Jianzi's extraordinary perception, so after putting her down from his back, he asked while Goto Ichiri was directing the avatar to start exploring the second floor.

"The things in the stairs... are chasing the entrants from both upstairs and downstairs."

Jianzi, who was pale, took a deep breath. Although she didn't look very good, she still explained the situation seriously.

"The thing coming down from the upstairs is very fast, and it's easy to get caught if you can't dodge it. The thing downstairs moves much slower, at least not as fast as you, so we can only reach the second floor safely when we start from the first floor."

"But the thing downstairs moves from the first floor to the top."

"That is to say, unless we have a way to leave this teaching building from somewhere other than the first floor, as long as we try to go downstairs and leave here, we will definitely run into that thing. This strange story can be regarded as a well-made trap."

As she spoke, Jianzi's face became even paler.

Until now, she can still recall the endless despair and hatred she felt from the two things in the stairs just now.

If Gao Hai's speed was slower, perhaps the two of them would really die in the corridor on the spot.

"Don't worry, we are still alive now. There is always a way out when the car reaches the mountain. There is no absolutely effective trap."

Gao Hai reached out and gently rubbed Jianzi's head.

Seeing the girl close her eyes subconsciously and her head shaking a few times with his hands, he smiled, without any nervousness or anxiety on his face.

After all, from the moment he decided to act at night, he had been prepared for danger.

Or to be more precise, this feeling of being in danger and dying at any time made him feel more familiar and intimate. After all, he had always been like this in the experience of clearing the dungeons.

In contrast, the long and boring investigation process during the day at Yeluoshan Middle School was what Gao Hai couldn't get used to.

"Well, I, I found something."

Goto Ichiri's weak voice sounded at the side.

Gao Hai turned his head and found that she was standing in front of the bulletin board on the second floor, which was where the survival rules of the main teaching building were found before.

The two walked up quickly and then found that there was a notice on the bulletin board at some point.

No, it was not a notice, it was a rough magazine that seemed to be run by the students themselves and was completely handwritten.

This magazine was spread out and pasted on the bulletin board, and the name of the magazine was written in three huge blood-red fonts:

"Strange Talk Newspaper"

Chapter 25: The fragments of "Strange Talk Newspaper" obtained and the investigation of the dark land

Strange Talk Newspaper.

As the name suggests, this thing looks like it was founded by the Strange Talk Club and circulated within the school of Yeluoshan Middle School.

Like the ugly recruitment poster that has no aesthetics at all, this newspaper is very simple and seems to be made by folding the paper used in the painting class. The content on it is completely hand-painted, and there are no traces of printing in either text or pictures. It is unknown how many copies the Strange Talk Club could print in a day when this thing was used.

However, this problem is not what Gao Hai and others are concerned about now.

Open the glass window lock on the bulletin board and take out the newspaper that looks a little damaged.

Gao Hai opened the simple newspaper, so that the words on the page were clearly presented, and also revealed a very abstract image in the picture of the newspaper, which could only be barely seen as a female high school student with her intestines dragging on the ground.

The record in this newspaper seemed to be the footsteps that the three of them heard at the staircase entrance just now, the so-called "stairs girl" ghost story.

[Ghost Stories Newspaper·Issue ■■]

[Editor: Jiang Gu Xianyi]

[Newly included original ghost stories in this issue: Stairs Girl]

[Welcome to order this issue of newspaper miscellany. This issue includes a new original story, the "Stairs Girl" story]

[Although the name of this story sounds a bit crude, it is actually quite good in terms of creativity. Moreover, this story is based on the "stairwell of the teaching building", which means it is closely related to everyone's life. It is the "most life-oriented story" that our story club pursues the most! ]

[The content of this story is very simple. It focuses on some very subtle places in our lives. Therefore, before telling this story, I would like to ask everyone, when you walk in a narrow and closed stairwell, when you walk up or down the stairs step by step under the dim light, have you ever thought that maybe there is something else in the stairs, hidden somewhere you didn't notice? ]

[Obviously, everyone has different standards for the answer to the question, but it is certain that the fear of closed and dark environments exists in our genes. Since we were primitive people who ate raw meat and drank blood, this kind of environment that was thought to be hiding venomous snakes and wild beasts naturally brought us a sense of fear. Especially those tall buildings with more than five or six floors, these buildings usually use elevators to go up and down, and the stairs are closed for a long time and are almost never used.

【Not only that, some of these stairs in high-rise buildings do not have windows, and are completely closed in the true sense. Therefore, when you step into this kind of stairs, when you smell the old dust in the house, when you have to walk in the dark without the help of light, that feeling must be very stressful, right? 】

【The "Stairs Woman" legend was created based on this sense of oppression. The origin story of this legend is not the focus in my opinion. After all, in my opinion, it is something that strips away the inhuman nature of the legend itself, so I will talk about it at the end. I want to talk about the manifestation of this strange story first. Yes, as I said before, the so-called "stairs woman" is an "other person" who appears at the staircase with you, but you will not find her immediately.]

[When you enter the staircase, you will hear her footsteps, almost at the same time as yours]

[Whether you go upstairs or downstairs, you will find that she is approaching you, you will hear her footsteps sounding quickly, and hear the sound of the distance between her and you being shortened little by little]

[Maybe you will try to run, maybe you will try to get rid of her footsteps]

[But as long as you are still in the stairwell, still in this small and closed narrow space that can only go up and down, you will hear her voice getting closer and closer to you. Until her breathing is on your body, until her outstretched hand really grabs you]

[The person she catches up with will disappear without a trace, just like the common phenomenon of disappearance in those ghost stories, and no one can know whether he is dead or alive from then on]

[So when you hear the footsteps approaching you, and hear the other party approaching you step by step, the only way you can escape from her is to quickly escape from the stairs and leave the area where you encountered her]

[This is also one of the ghost story principles I emphasized, regionalization. A ghost story that can be effective anytime and anywhere is very boring. It is like forcibly creating a monster without any restrictions. In addition to making people feel very scary, it actually has no meaning. After all, an omnipotent monster is just a monster. Complex rules and mechanisms can distinguish ghost stories from ordinary monsters, and can strip away the humanized and emotional side of ghost stories, making them have a sense of horror that no life has]

[Would you like to face such a ghost story? ]

[Haha, of course, ghost stories cannot exist, they are just false pseudo-things. The so-called strange stories are ultimately the manifestation of human imagination, and what we pursue in the Staircase Club is not to witness real strange stories, but to explore the power of imagination, nothing more.]

[That's right, strange stories don't exist. There are no strange stories in this world, so "Staircase Girl" doesn't exist, right?]

[Then next, it's about the origin of the story of this newly collected strange story...]

The rest of the content can't be seen. This newspaper is not complete, and half of it has been torn off. It just so happens that the torn part is the origin story of the strange story "Staircase Girl", which is the fundamental part of this strange story.

Jiang Gu Kenichi?

This is the first [name] Gao Hai got after entering this copy and searching for a whole day.

According to the notes, this person is the editor of "Staircase Newspaper", so he should be a member of the Staircase Club, right? No, to be able to appear on the first page as an editor of this club newspaper, he should be a core member, or even a president or vice president.

I wonder if this student can be found tomorrow.

Very good, at least there is one more direction for investigation. I just don't know...if I tell this name to other people, can they hear and understand it.

Another thing is...this thing is really well broken, is it really not intentional to break here, is it a newspaper torn at a certain point?

It just happened to break the origin story, who did you learn this from? !

Gao Hai could only complain in his heart.

But this problem is not unsolvable, after all, Gao Hai now has a teammate who has turned on the perspective hack.

"You have seen it before, right? The origin story of [Stairs Girl]?"

Gao Hai turned his head and looked at Jian Zi who was reading the newspaper with him and asked.

"Yes, I did see it."

Jian Zi nodded lightly, with a little bit of fear in her expression.

Very good, I can hear her say this, which proves that the depth of information that Jian Zi and I can understand is still the same, and there is no situation where one of us obtains deeper information, resulting in the inability to communicate intelligence with each other.

"That, the second... The second floor has been reconnaissance, and no abnormal situation has been found for the time being."

Goto Ichiri raised her hand weakly, and it took a long time to utter such a sentence from her mouth.

From the beginning of the action, although she was very quick every time she started, she would actively scout the enemy situation, be alert to the surrounding environment at any time, and use her own obsessions to check all possible problems in all aspects. In terms of reliability, it can be said that Goto Ichiri has completely overturned Gao Hai's original impression of this girl.

Well, the premise is that she doesn't speak. As long as she needs to communicate with each other, Goto Ichiri will immediately turn back into Shimokitazawa Notsuchi Snake. At this time, she can express what she said well, and she only got stuck once or twice in the middle. To be honest, it is a huge improvement.

If it were another Red Moon-level player with Goto Ichiri's strength and equipment strength, I am afraid that he would have already occupied the absolute dominance of the team by now, and would not let Xiao Boqi silently play auxiliary like this, and obey Gao Hai's command.

"Sorry for the trouble, then let's see what else is on the second floor." Gao Hai said this and looked down at the identity card he got in Fujika Middle School in his pocket, and frowned slightly.

Since entering Yeluoshan Middle School, he has never found a place to use this card.

No matter how much it looks like a school on the surface, the essence of this place as a research institution will not change. If it was the original Yeluoshan Middle School, the research institute area would be deeper than the 10th floor of the teaching building. But now, they have been searching this school for a whole day and have not found any traces. You should know that the information about the research institute in both Fujika Middle School and Hayate Elementary School was quickly discovered, and there is no mystery like this copy.

Perhaps it is because Yeluoshan Middle School is the only copy area that has successfully run to the post-war period. This school continued to operate normally for a long time after the disappearance of the group of people in Takamagahara. In other words, this area has continued to operate without the control of researchers. Therefore, the things related to researchers are hidden deeper and more difficult to find?

Apart from anything else, when I was still in Fujika Middle School, Kita Yuyo could come up to visit, but now that I have entered Yeluoshan Middle School, she has disappeared. This question is worth pondering.

While thinking, the three of them have started to move along the corridor on one side.

At the same time, the door of a classroom on the corridor opposite the second floor of the teaching building, which the three people here cannot see, is quietly opened.

【■■■■■■……】

Amidst the laughter, there seemed to be footsteps walking out of the classroom, and something seemed to be peeping out from the classroom door, noisy and yet silent.

At the same time, the pointer of the wall clock in the corridor, which was originally moving slowly, also slowly stopped, as if time had been suspended, and fell into a dead silence.

Chapter 26: Be sure to identify your location in the dark

Tap-tap-

In a dark corridor where nothing can be seen as long as the distance is slightly farther, there are subtle footsteps that spread to all directions.

Gao Hai almost calmed down his breathing, and he walked forward cautiously, one step at a time, and kept an eye on the surrounding situation at all times, ready to run away immediately if he found anything wrong.

Yotsuya Miko, who was on the side, followed closely, her body almost sticking to Gao Hai, but she herself was completely unaware of this, just following him step by step.

Goto Ichiri, who was following on the other side, was farther away. It seemed that the girl was still a little uncomfortable with moving with others, so her movements and demeanor were very restrained, and she always maintained a state of alertness like a small animal.

In front of these three figures, and in the area behind them, there was a girl who looked 70% similar to Goto Ichiri, one in the front to clear the way, and the other in the back to prevent possible sneak attackers.

Although it has been said before, Gao Hai still has to say it again now, Goto Ichiri's obsession guitar is really too useful. In comparison, the two Red Moon-level blessings he now has are not as versatile as this. Well, of course, it's not that his blessings are bad or something, but humans as creatures always care about things they don't have, so now Gao Hai is very envious of Goto Ichiri's guitar.

Although he said so, he had no intention of taking the guitar. This kind of obsession that requires professional skills to use is really inconvenient in Gao Hai's opinion. He can't play the guitar anytime and anywhere like Xiao Boqi in any situation and never make mistakes from beginning to end. Even if he is given professional skills, Gao Hai is sure that his level of performance will hardly reach the level of one mile. This is already a gap in innate talent.

One quarter of the exploration has been completed, and there is no discovery.

After walking through the corridor in front of him and coming to the corner, Gao Hai thought silently in his heart.

The main teaching building is a typical U-shaped building, so it can be divided into four different areas. At this time, Gao Hai and the other two passed through the corridor coming out of the stairs.

If you turn from here, the next is the location of the three classes of Grade 6, 7, and 8, and then after turning again, you can reach the area where another staircase is located, and that is also where the Grade 9 to 13 classes of Grade 2 are located.

Along the way, the door of each classroom was tightly locked, and there were no dead plants or any abnormal phenomena.

Although the dark and gloomy corridor itself can bring a considerable sense of oppression, this atmosphere alone is not enough to make the three people here retreat.

"Huh..."

Gao Hai's footsteps landed on the ground with a gentle breath, but there was almost no sound of footsteps.

At this time, he had concentrated his energy to the extreme, his body was completely tense, and he was ready to deal with danger at any time.

Step——
