Chapter 70 Dormitory Elevator

A strong sense of doubt arose in Lin Yi's mind, but at the moment when he had this doubt, his train of thought suddenly turned like a drainage ditch drift, and then he used the rear end of the car to abruptly reverse the thinking that was about to unfold.

"Forget it, let's just ignore it for now."

"Let's talk about it after we get to the dormitory."

Just like a cigarette with sparks coming out of it, it was gently twisted by two fingers and then directly extinguished. Lin Yi shook his head slightly and muttered secretly:

"Even if this dormitory elevator is a fucking Transformer today, I don't want to care about it."

He followed the moving crowd and kept squeezing forward, and soon walked up the stairs in front of the dormitory building and entered a brightly lit corridor.

As he stepped onto the stairs, he did not forget to look down at the moss growing in the cracks of the stairs.

The entire corridor is an arc-shaped structure, like the base of the hula hoop structure in the dormitory building.

In the corridor, there is an elevator room every three to five meters.

The elevator door kept opening and closing, with about ten people going in each time. Then after the elevator door closed, it opened again after three or five seconds.

After the door opened, there was a spacious and empty elevator room inside.

The original people disappeared without a trace, as if they were eaten by the elevator.

Walking in the corridor, Lin Yi found a line of words written in front of each elevator:

[Each elevator can carry ten people. ]

It turns out that only ten people entered each elevator.

Soon it was his turn, but he happened to be the tenth person in the elevator, so he chose to wait for the next elevator and gave the tenth seat to the classmate behind him and Wei Liang.

He glanced at the elevator number.

「Elevator-23」

Then he withdrew his gaze and calmly scanned the ten people in the elevator.

The ten people had different expressions. Seven of them had numb expressions and did not bring anything with them. One could tell at a glance that they were old students. The remaining three were carrying a backpack, and some were even holding a handbag. They looked embarrassed and their eyes were wandering around the elevator. It was obvious that they were new students.

“Bang…clang!”

The elevator door closed in front of Lin Yi with the sound of whistling wind. With the final "clang" sound, Lin Yi couldn't help but have an indescribable feeling in his heart.

The feeling was a bit like he closed the door when he left the classroom, or a bit like he traveled from one area to another. To put it bluntly, there was a weird sense of disconnection, but to put it in detail, it was hard to describe.

At this moment, an obvious sound of mechanism operation was heard from inside the elevator door.

This sound was different from any mechanical sound he had heard since he was a child, nor was it like the mechanical sounds in science fiction movies. If you had to describe it, it was more like the sound of the mechanism in the snake demon's cave in the Calabash Brothers with some bubble sounds.

Like gluguluka la la la or something like that...

Then, the elevator opened with a clang, and sure enough, there was no one inside the elevator.

With some curiosity, Lin Yi followed Wei Liang into the elevator.

This is a very traditional passenger elevator, more like the elevators in some high-end shopping malls than a dormitory.

There are four LED lights on the ceiling of the elevator, and there is a floor button panel on each side of the elevator door.

The buttons on the floors consist of simple "on", "off", numbers "1" to "39" and a few traditional symbols, like a small yellow trumpet and a red "↑"... Wait, what is this symbol?
Lin Yi looked at the "↑" button. There was a plastic cover on the outside of it with a big "×" on it.

Lin Yi was stunned.

The location of this button is very subtle. Judging from the order of the buttons, its location seems to refer to a non-existent... 40th floor.

The other eight people each pressed the buttons for the floors where their dormitories were located. Seeing that Lin Yi was observing the panel, Wei Liang took the initiative to press "14".

The dormitory they booked was "1414", which is the 14th dormitory on the 14th floor.

There is a reason for booking this dormitory.

Theoretically speaking, for the sake of safe escape, when choosing a dormitory floor, you should ensure that you can quickly leave the dormitory using the stairwell if the elevator is not available, so naturally the lower the floor, the better.

But there are quite a few people who have this consideration, so the dormitories within the 10th floor are basically fully booked, and many people do not want to share rooms with strangers, so the options are expanded little by little.

The number "1414" chosen by Lin Yi and his classmates did not have many reservations because it sounded unlucky. It was a rare dormitory that was completely empty.

Of course, if you don’t choose “1414” and want to choose a 6-person dormitory, you have to go to the 35th floor or above.

As for floors above 35…if something really happens to the elevator, it might be better to jump off the building than to go down.

After Wei Liang pressed the button, he stepped aside, while Lin Yi quietly stood to the side and shrank into a corner near the door.

Although the elevator is designed to carry ten people, when ten people stand in it, the remaining space is not crowded.

Soon, Lin Yi keenly sensed some vibrations.

The vibration was very subtle, just like the wind in the elevator corridor blowing into the elevator car, causing the vibration.

But Lin Yi felt something was amiss. The sound of the wind... gave him an abnormal feeling.

He suppressed the discomfort and waited for the elevator door to close.

“Bang…clang!”

As the elevator door closed, a feeling of being cut off from the outside world instantly filled Lin Yi's heart, causing his discomfort to instantly reach its peak.

The elevator was spacious, and the LED lights on the top illuminated the entire elevator, without any dark corners. However, Lin Yi felt very depressed. He was somewhat disgusted with this feeling, as if he was trapped in an airtight pressure vessel, and subconsciously he had an urge to break out of the cage.

His breathing became heavier and deeper, and he subconsciously moved closer to the side of the elevator car, as if he wanted to squeeze himself into a corner.

"Ugh——"

The elevator rose steadily and kept accelerating. The violent wind kept tearing at the outer walls of the elevator car. The vibration that was already not right began to rise straight up, and in a blink of an eye the whole elevator was shaking.

Lin Yi clenched his teeth, but he remembered that the elevator door would open 3 to 5 seconds after it was closed, and then the people inside would disappear.

He then took a deep breath, using this method to suppress the strong feeling of discomfort and impulse, and then began to calm himself down.

1秒钟、2秒钟、3秒钟、4秒钟、5秒钟……

Half a minute passed and the elevator door showed no sign of opening.

He maintained an even breathing pattern to relieve the oppressive feeling from the enclosed space of the elevator, then lowered his head and glanced at the time on his watch.

21: 04.

He did not take his eyes off the dial, but continued to stare at the second hand on it.

34 second, 35 seconds, 36 seconds...

Time is passing at an observable speed and there is no abnormality.

But the elevator door never opened. Not only that, stronger earthquake sensations continued to be felt on the outer walls of the elevator.

It was like an invisible hand was holding the elevator and shaking it up and down continuously.

Lin Yi, who was clinging to the elevator car, vaguely caught some abnormal fluctuations.

Such a sense of fluctuation often comes from some high-speed running machinery, like a racing car that has pulled the horsepower to sprint, but the key is... the one that maintains the accelerated sprint state is an elevator. What kind of demonic elevator needs to accelerate for one minute? Come on, you don't need to do this to board the statue of Liberty, right?
After a few seconds of intense racing, the elevator gradually began to brake and finally stopped smoothly. Then, with a "ding" sound, the number on the floor display jumped to the 18th floor.

"The 18th floor?!" Lin Yi's expression suddenly became strange.

He glanced at the floor buttons.

亮着的按钮是7楼、8楼、11楼、13楼、14楼、17楼、20楼以及23楼，代表着第18层的按钮的确是灭下了去了。

But...it clearly didn't stop at the previous floors, so how did it go directly to the 18th floor?
What the hell?

Just as Lin Yi was hesitating, a classmate in the elevator saw that no one had left yet, so he couldn't help but ask, "We're on the 18th floor, no one's coming down?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a girl next to Lin Yi who had been reading a book raised her head in surprise.

"Ah? The 18th floor?"

She adjusted her glasses, glanced at the floor display in surprise, then looked at the button panel, a look of deep doubt in her eyes.

It seems to be saying: Why didn’t the floor in front stop?

But she had already reached the floor, so she quickly nodded and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I'll be out right away..."

After saying that, she closed the book and walked out of the elevator. As she walked, she seemed to maintain that suspicious look, and she was still muttering: "Strange, how come I got to the 18th floor first?"

Lin Yi looked at her and couldn't help but feel bad for her. It was obviously the first time for this girl to come here, and she had already started thinking about the problem!

It was the same as he was yesterday, but the girl was alone, and he was accompanied by Wei Liang.

The elevator door was about to close, but the girl suddenly thought of something as if she had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly rushed into the elevator.

"Ah, wait, wait, don't turn it off yet!" The girl hurriedly came to Lin Yi, picked up the bag on the ground, and then exited the elevator while saying "sorry".

Just when Lin Yi wanted to remind the girl not to have any wild thoughts, the elevator door closed with a bang.

At the moment the elevator door closed, Lin Yi seemed to see a faint mist hovering around the girl's feet, like a group of snakes...

Lin Yi couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and his mood gradually became heavy.

"What a fool." A classmate with a schoolbag hanging on his shoulders with his hands behind his back bared his teeth and cursed coldly, "It's such a waste of time to take the same elevator with such a nerd..."

Lin Yi remained silent, pretending not to hear the classmate's voice.

The elevator continued to run, and he continued to look at the time on his watch.

But this time the elevator stopped after only 15 seconds, at the 11th floor, and a classmate with a somewhat numb expression left the elevator.

The elevator continued to run and stopped at the 47th floor 20 seconds later. The student who had been cursing just now walked out with his schoolbag on his back.

Lin Yi observed his back and the surrounding environment calmly.

The corridor on the 20th floor is exactly the same as those on the 18th and 11th floors. Looking out, you can see an arc-shaped corridor hung with incandescent lamps, with dormitories lined up on both sides of the corridor.

Lin Yi watched him leave until the elevator door closed completely.

"Ugh——"

The elevator continued to run, and the wind whistled like a demon's whisper.

……

Dormitory building on the 20th floor.

"Qiang!"

The elevator door closed, and the entire corridor seemed to become darker.

The boy was carrying a bag and walking slowly with a somewhat arrogant step.

2001, 2002, 2003...

He looked at the dormitory doorplate, walked cautiously along the corridor, and then turned a corner naturally.

"what……?"

He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something and looked back uncertainly.

"I just... seemed to have turned a corner?"

He looked back, but found that there was no corner behind him.

A hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

"what's the situation?"

He touched the back of his head subconsciously.

Suddenly he felt his hand being sprayed with some extremely cold breath.

His body stiffened slightly, and boundless fear surged towards him like opening Pandora's box. He didn't know
He didn't know what was happening behind him, but the intense fear of the unknown instantly invaded his brain.

He ran for his life without caring about the house number.

"Rustle, rustle..."

He heard an indescribable strange sound coming from behind him, like countless ants crawling on his body.

"call……"

He heard a faint sound of wind behind him again, and the sound of the wind followed his figure like a ghost, following him like a poisonous snake.

"Don't chase me! Don't chase me..."

He instinctively closed his eyes, then took a deep breath and sprinted forward.

But after taking a few steps, he felt himself hit heavily against a cold wall.

He was so dizzy from the collision that he opened his eyes in a daze.

He saw a house number. The number on the house number was in characters he didn't recognize at all. It looked like English with special symbols, or some strange Arabic, or maybe it was some kind of tribal or clan pictographic symbol...

When he saw these characters, some ancient and mysterious patterns slowly flowed into his mind as if he had learned them naturally.

He was thinking about something indescribable and horrible completely out of control. His pupils slowly dilated until they blurred, and his body gradually lost temperature until it became extremely cold.

His throat began to make some human sounds uncontrollably. No, some sounds that did not belong to any species in this world.

It was like a strong wind blowing through his blood, sweeping through his bones, devouring his marrow, and then whistling and swirling in the empty bones, making a whimpering sound in the cramped and narrow cracks.

Countless broken and chaotic images appeared before his eyes. Countless thoughts filled his mind at this moment, and a terrifying stream of information poured into his brain.

At this moment he felt like he had to speak out, but when he opened his mouth, countless syllables twisted and intertwined, twisting together like hemp ropes, and in the end only one word of the most primitive and pure fear remained:
"what……"

"Ah-ah-"

Merry Christmas!

Thanks to the friend "An unknown book friend Xiaozhu" for the reward! !
Wow, wow, wow… I had a terrible day yesterday. I went out to get my phone fixed in the afternoon, so I used the trial phone from the phone store to type, and I typed about 1500 words. When I paid, the trial phone locked the screen and automatically cleared the document. Wow, wow… I can’t get it back at all. The person at the trial store said they forgot to remind me to clean it up, and I didn’t expect this to happen for a while… Wow, wow, it was so miserable. When I got home, I was still a thousand words short of typing at 1:30. I can’t type anymore. I can only update after I finish typing during the day…
