Chapter 68 No Normal Person
Yin Junchi shook his head and said, "It seems that there was no such thing at that time."

Wen Xishu remembered the details of today and said:

"I have to study it, but don't be afraid. Remember, don't be afraid! I will come to visit you later. Don't worry, since I am here, you will be fine."

Wen Xishu had some guesses, which could not be considered reasoning, but pure guesses. He guessed that the situation Yin Junchi encountered was related to fear.

After making sure there were no other items to note, he chose to comfort Yin Junchi first, and then returned to his room to think carefully.

He had to do it because the hour was up.

[Interaction with neighbors has ended. 50 action points have been deducted. The current remaining action points are 45 points.]

Wen Xishu's body began to walk back uncontrollably. After returning to the house, he began to sort out the clues he had obtained.

But there weren't many clues, so it was hard to make effective inferences. He could only hope that after combining the clues from the other four people, he could deduce something useful.

“Some things are still just speculations, but combined with other people’s clues, maybe we can find a breakthrough on the first day.”

……

……

Day 1, night. One hour left until the end of the day.

Wen Xishu and the other five people have all completed the option of "interacting with neighbors". Wen Xishu, A Miao, Xiao Wu, and Wu Xiangjiao all have 45 points of action left.

However, A Miao, Xiao Wu, and Wu Xiangjiao did not conduct an investigation as thorough as Wen Xishu.

In the end, it was Xiaowu who initiated the meeting. Xiaowu was really afraid, and he felt inferior because he had not made any contribution, so he wanted to make up for it.

The five people began to communicate again.

In fact, after interacting with the neighbors, several people had already figured out that something was wrong.

"Yes, I'm sorry. I wasted fifty action points. It's my fault, my fault... I shouldn't have made such a mistake. Maybe I should have been tougher?"

"But when I saw that he was a lawyer, I was naturally scared, and the information I could provide was very limited."

"He should be a very good lawyer with many trophies, but he seems to have severe mysophobia. He speaks a little restrained. Maybe he has encountered something terrible recently."

"Ah, I should go take a shower. I feel a little dirty."

"No, I have to finish what I'm saying first. He might have severe mysophobia, and he thought the house was too dirty to entertain me, so he closed the door. This reminded me that I should go back, and my mobility has been deducted."

"I'm really sorry, I...I've been useless since I got out of prison."

"I think I'll go take a shower first. Oh, what's wrong with me? I have to wait for everyone to finish talking."

Xiaowu patted his head and then lowered his head.

Wen Xishu silently paid attention to Xiaowu's changes. Recalling the first time he met Xiaowu, was he such a sensitive person?
Did he feel dirty and wanted to take a bath so badly?
something wrong with.

Wen Xishu had a feeling that Xiaowu had begun to be affected by some strange force.

The second speaker was Wu Xiangjiao.

"I don't think I found anything. It's really strange. I just met a otaku. I thought, although the university knowledge in the three towers is not the same level as that in the bunker, college students are all the same age. They are the age of three times a day."

"Plus, there is indeed that kind of smell in his house... that kind of, hey, hey, hey. He might be a sage. As soon as I talked about women with him, he drove me away very seriously."

"Shit, could it be the super sage time after the continuous success?"

Wen Xishu asked:
"What else did you notice? Or what do you think is the most striking impression this college student has on you?"

Wu Xiangjiao shook his head:
"No, to be honest, it's pretty ordinary. He said he wanted to be a prosecutor in the future, but the book in his hand didn't seem to be about studying."

Wen Xishu took note of it.

The third speaker was Wen Xian Ge:

"Ahem, I'm so ashamed. I thought that with my cooking skills, I would be able to make the neighbors like me as their new neighbor, but in the end, I let you all down."

"Now that I think about it, that thing wasn't that delicious. I overestimated my own abilities. How could I have thought of using this method to interact with others?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. He is a somewhat obese man, and he must have a strong appetite, but the food I made was so unpalatable that he probably felt sick when he saw it, and then he closed the shop."

"I, I actually wasted fifty points like this!"

Wen Xishu noticed that Wu Xiangjiao was actually quite normal.

But there seemed to be something wrong with Xiaowu and Wen Xiange.

Although Xiaowu had just completed his labor reform, he looked calm and peaceful, and Master Wen was in an unusually good spirit.

But now these two people seem to be feeling too guilty and self-blaming.

Wen Xishu began to listen to the speech of the last person, A Miao.

A Miu said:

"I met a comedian. If there is one thing that stands out the most, it is that he is really optimistic and happy. He also infected me. His smile healed me very much."

"I think there's nothing to be afraid of. I feel very happy too!"

"Don't be too nervous, what can it be? God will protect us, there is nothing in life that we can't overcome!"

Gone.

Ah Miao's speech was too brief, Wen Xishu didn't expect it to be like this. So it seems that Ah Miao is the most normal one.

But he suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Ah Miao, you feel happy now? But at the beginning, before you visited your neighbors, how did you feel?"

"You're a little scared, right? You know, I'm actually here to risk my life. With the Level 6 hospital brought by Sect Leader Wen Xishu, I, who was originally doomed to die, now have a chance of survival."

"That's why I thought, under the policy incentive, to come to the Weird Tower to make some money. But when I found out that there was a strange power in the Weird Tower that could actually directly control my body, I was really scared and a little annoyed. What if this power keeps controlling me? Wouldn't I be unable to do anything?"

Wen Xishu said:
"And are you still scared now?"

A Miao shook his head:

"Don't be afraid. Life should be full of laughter. I think my neighbor is very good and I should learn from him."

It’s bad… Now, except for Wu Xiangjiao, no one is normal.

Wen Xishu vaguely grasped that common point:

"My neighbor is a best-selling author. He came here to find inspiration. He is currently in a particularly excited state, with a lot of inspiration."

"But what he writes is a horror novel. Now when he wants to rest for a while, he will have hallucinations."

“The content of these hallucinations is horrific.”

"Xiao Wu, Your Excellency, do you feel any fear?"

Xiao Wu and Wen Xiange lowered their heads, thought for a while, and said together:
"Have!"

Xiaowu told the reason why he was afraid. He thought the lawyer was very abnormal. The room was bright and shiny, but he still complained that the room was dirty.

Wen Xiange thought that since this place had no mobility, he couldn't even go out. He couldn't even escape... He couldn't help but feel scared.

He didn't want to die here. He also wanted to spread Wen Sheng's deeds to every corner, so that the Xishu Divine Sect could become bigger and stronger and create brilliance together.

Wen Xishu sighed:
"It seems that this is it. I think it will be useless even if I tell you not to be afraid."

"Everyone..."

Wen Xishu suddenly shut up. He realized that not everyone had the same big heart as him.

If at this time, he emphasized this sentence:

"You are all very different from before you came in. Have you noticed?"

Once they think carefully about this sentence, they will find that peaceful people become inferior and desperate people become optimistic, which may even make them fall into greater fear.

Now he was certain that fear was the switch that turned on the weirdness.

The writer felt fear and began to hallucinate. A-Miao felt fear and began to become extremely optimistic. Xiao-Wu and Venerable Wen felt fear and began to feel inferior...

The inferiority complex of these two people may be further divided into differences.

Only Wu Xiangjiao did not change at all, because he was not afraid, but it was hard to say what would happen next.

Wen Xishu was still thinking whether these people's reactions after being frightened could provide any clues.

Wen Xiange asked:
"Ashu, what did you want to say just now? I think your analytical ability is quite reliable. As the future of my Xishu Divine Cult, you can speak freely."

Wen Xishu shook his head:
"Nothing, this mission is actually not difficult. I have some clues. Don't be nervous, everyone. As long as we cooperate with each other, nothing will happen."

"It's only the first day, so I can't make a conclusion yet. Please wait a little longer."

The other few people, each with their own concerns, nodded, and the meeting soon ended.

There were only a few dozen minutes left before the end of the first day.

Before the end of the first day, Wen Xishu decided to spend 25 action points to search the house.

Seeing his teammates in trouble, Wen Xishu instead had a strong desire to work.

……

……

There's actually very little to explore in the house.

After determining the consumption of action power, Wen Xishu can freely check every corner and use the network equipment in the house to check some information.

Wen Xishu first looked at the recent situation of Caicheng, and then checked the names of the chaebol family members behind the Sanqiu Company.

He noticed a man named An Zhenqi. Wen Xishu was paying special attention to Qi at this time, so he checked An Zhenqi.

By the way, I checked the works under the pen name Yin Junchi, as well as the websites and novel categories they belong to.

He found some clues, but not enough to form a complete clue.

Then Wen Xishu began to search the room.

He searched carefully, but not in a general way, choosing to search not only the entire house, but only the bedroom, because the bedroom was adjacent to another room.

That is room 14-1.

After searching all the items and finding nothing special, Wen Xishu did not continue looking for anything. He simply put his ear to the wall and began to listen to the noise next door.

"Great! That's it!"

Yin Junchi's voice came.

"Just write like this! Just write like this! I can write all night long. I have never felt so comfortable before. It's like thirty years of constipation is suddenly relieved!"

As it approached twelve o'clock, Yin Junchi was not sleepy at all. He seemed to be full of inspiration again and began to tap on the keyboard. Wen Xishu felt a sense of disobedience.

But he didn't figure out the exact clues, and time passed mercilessly.

[Exploring the room you are in, completed, 25 action points have been deducted, remaining action points: 20 points. ]

[The next day has arrived. Remaining action points: 100 points.]

The sudden prompt made Wen Xishu feel a little nervous.

The first day passed like this.

Now his energy level has been replenished to 100. He decided not to sleep yet and do other things.

But before doing these things, Wen Xishu sorted out the current clues:

"Xiao Wu, A Miao, Venerable Wen, Wu Xiangjiao, the people these people visited all had a distinct characteristic."

"But with just a few of them, it's hard for me to find a pattern."

"A mysophobic lawyer, a college student who wants to be a prosecutor, a comedian with a cheerful attitude towards life, and a fat man who is very picky about food."

"These people seem to have nothing to do with each other...the only connection is that they will all die."

"There are five of us, corresponding to seven households. Coincidentally, we seem to have met only single-person households. The neighbors of the five of us all have few family members."

"What about the remaining two families?"

Wen Xishu decided to look for the remaining two families.

"I'm on the 14th floor, A-Miao is on the 35th floor, Banana is on the 21st floor, Venerable is on the 7th floor, and Xiao-Wu is on the 28th floor."

"This pattern is pretty easy to find. They are all multiples of seven, so the remaining two households should be on the 42nd and 49th floors."

"Let's go directly to the 49th floor."

Wen Xishu came to the door again, and the familiar prompt appeared again:
[You are about to walk out of the room, you seem to have some ideas, what do you decide to do? ]

[1: Explore the Miracle Apartment Building: Consume 50 action points.]

[2: Interact with neighbors: consume 50 action points. ]

This time, he chose 1. His body was once again controlled by a strange force, but this time he arrived in front of the elevator.

In fact, twelve o'clock at night is not a good time to explore, because normally the residents are asleep.

But in this building, there is no word "normal".

It is now the second day of the seven-day survival. After the first day, which was safe but slightly abnormal, the second day immediately became dangerous and weird.

When Wen Xishu entered the elevator, there was already someone in it.

He was wearing a green uniform and looked like one of the staff members of Miracle Building. He had his back to Wen Xishu and was facing the elevator wall.

Even after Wen Xishu came in, he still had his back to her. Wen Xishu was facing the elevator door, and he was facing the elevator wall, with his head slightly lowered.

No one could see his appearance or expression. He just stood there motionless.

Wen Xishu discovered that he could only go to the 49th floor. The 42nd floor required a special door card. After he pressed the 49th floor button, the elevator door slowly closed.

At this time, Wen Xishu discovered that the inside of the elevator door seemed different from during the day.

During the day, he saw the inside of the elevator door gleaming with metallic luster and could faintly see a reflection, but now under the light inside the elevator, he could not see any reflection at all.

Wen Xishu suddenly became alert and turned around immediately.

The "staff member" behind him who had originally been facing away from him still did not move. He was completely still, almost completely motionless, as if he was not even breathing.

But...his posture changed.

He seemed to be about to turn around. His face had already turned halfway, and Wen Xishu could see his profile, his mouth wide open, as if it had split open.

Wen Xishu's eyes were fixed on him, and he remained completely still.

The elevator kept going up, but it seemed like a very long time had passed and it still hadn't reached the 49th floor.

The Miracle Building at midnight is indeed a strange place.

Wen Xishu had a premonition that if he didn't handle the situation carefully... he might die in the elevator.

He decided to make a bold attempt and turned around instantly to look at the elevator door.

At this moment, the elevator rose from the 14th floor to the 15th floor.

At the same moment, Wen Xishu turned around quickly and looked at the elevator wall behind him.

The figure of the "staff member" was still, but his posture had changed. He had revealed most of his face. His eyes were opened unusually wide and bloodshot, still looking straight ahead, and his two hanging hands had been slightly raised.

Anyone would feel terrified at this moment.

"He's trying to turn around and looks like he's going to attack me, but if I just stare at him, he won't move. It's a bit like the Weeping Angels... but in a worse situation, if I don't look at the elevator door, the elevator won't move."

Yes, if Wen Xishu's gaze did not cover the elevator door, then Wen Xishu would now be in an unusually slow space.

Wen Xishu did not act rashly. At this time, it seemed that the right thing to do was to go to the corner.

There are four corners in the elevator. As long as you make sure you stand in a corner where you can see the door and people at the same time, you can solve the weirdness in front of you.

But Wen Xishu noticed a detail:
"This person's eyes are not looking at me..."

Although there was no clue to infer what would happen if the other person's eyes were fixed on him, Wen Xishu still felt that he should perhaps avoid that gaze.

I always feel that if my figure appears in the other person's sight, something more terrifying will happen.

The elevator's floor buttons and count are on the left side of the elevator door, on the same side as this "staff member".

The staff occupied one corner, and the elevator's floor buttons and counts also occupied another corner. If Wen Xishu chose any corner on the left, he would either be too close to the "staff" or would not be able to see the floor count at all.

But if you choose the right corner, you will either not be able to see the elevator floor buttons and counts, or they will be seen by the "staff".

"View properties."

Wen Xishu was not panicked and directly summoned the mirror.

The guide of the Three Towers said that after completing the registration, you can summon this mirror at any time in the Three Towers.

This is a mirror that only the player can view. Only the player can see it. The character's attributes will be displayed in the mirror, and it can also be used as a normal mirror.

15th floor, 16th floor, 17th floor, 18th floor...

The elevator finally started moving at a normal speed, and the "staff member" who wanted to turn around was finally unable to move.

When the elevator door opened and we finally reached the forty-ninth floor...

Wen Xishu did not turn around, but stared at the mirror and the "staff" and walked out of the elevator backwards.

It wasn't until the elevator door closed that Wen Xishu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Near miss."

"It's a pity. I don't know what will happen when I take the elevator during the day on the first day. Will I encounter something like this during the ascent? Or will it not be so strange on the first day, just like visiting a neighbor, leaving some terrifying things to think about carefully."

"Without variable comparison... I can't judge, but I can feel that there are some points in this building that go against common sense, which slowly make people feel psychological terror."

"Once you fall into the emotion of fear, you will establish an association with the weird. This is a vicious cycle. Once an association is established, it is likely to trigger more terrifying experiences, and the association will become deeper, and this will repeat over and over again..."

Wen Xishu was guessing the possibilities of this building in his heart, because at present, he could not find out how those seven families died.

Wen Xishu was walking in the corridor on the 49th floor. Soon, he heard footsteps and a knock on the door.

“Hehehe, hahahahaha, mom, is it okay for me to do this?”

"Of course it doesn't matter. As long as you like it."

The voices of a little boy and a woman were heard. Wen Xishu followed the voices, walked to the left side of the corridor, and saw the owner of the voices.

This was a mother and son, the woman was in her early thirties and the child was about six or seven years old. The lights in the corridor were still on, but the other residents had indeed fallen asleep.

But what the little boy was doing now was what a typical naughty kid would do. He ran around the corridor, making shrill laughter, and knocked on the door from time to time. After knocking on the door, he hid.

He looked at his mother with a tentative look.

The woman just looked at her child with a rather tolerant look:
"It doesn't matter, you can do whatever you like."

"Mom, am I being immature? You never allowed me to do this before. You always praised other people's children and were very strict with me."

"How could that be, my baby? I was ignorant before, but now I feel that life is very happy."

The two did not see Wen Xishu because Wen Xishu was standing at the end of the corridor. The Miracle Building is a cylindrical building, and one floor is actually surrounded by seven corridors.

After discovering the two people, Wen Xishu immediately hid in the corner of the corridor and listened quietly.

"Mom, I, I want to pee."

"Then let's go back, my darling."

"Mom, I want to pee in the hallway, is that okay?"

"Of course, baby, you are awesome, you are such a little genius."

A naughty kid and his doting mother?

This child's behavior is too outrageous, isn't it? Is this mother not angry at all?
"Forget it, Mom, this is not right. You taught me before that I must go to the toilet. Let's go back. I'll go to the toilet. Mom, can you carry me back?"

"Okay, okay, I love hugging you."

"Mom, how did you become so good?"

"Because mom loves you, it doesn't matter if you make mistakes, mom will forgive you."

It was past midnight, and the only sound in the corridor was the sound of women's high heels. The entire floor was silent.

Wen Xishu frowned.

In fact, the conversations just now already had a bit of a weird meaning.

A six or seven-year-old child, not sleeping at this time, making noise in such a quiet corridor, and even knocking on other people's doors...

But no one opened the door, and his mother did nothing to stop him.

It seems that no matter what he does, his mother never gets angry.

He is somewhat similar to the comedian that A Miao described, who is always happy and faces everything with joy, but I always feel like something is wrong.

Wen Xishu pondered for a moment and found some clues:
"No, this is not happiness and joy... this is indulgence."

"I understand. A certain spiritual attribute of these families has been exaggerated."
