A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Fang Shiqing nodded. After all, what the players can do now is to check all the suspicious places in the entire map, so it is really necessary to go down and have a look.

However, now is probably not the time.He looked back at the two girls who were resting together: "Well... wait a minute, let's go down together later."

Zhao Jun agreed, and then sat down not far away.

Looking at the spiral staircase that plunged into the darkness, Fang Shiqing remembered many details from before, and felt a little uneasy.

"Speaking of which, at the entrance of this building, the explosion at that time... was lifted from the ground, right? And the awls that attacked us were also drilled from the ground. Now there is a staircase leading to the ground here. Won't--"

When he said this, Zhao Jun's complexion also changed, and those sharp thorns cast a heavy shadow on him.

"You mean, if you go down from here, you may see those monsters with spikes?" He wondered, "If you say that, could it be... the boss of this dungeon?"

"No way, we're only here. It's not long since we entered the book, so it's impossible to pass the level so quickly." Fang Shiqing said firmly.

The game is not reality, but something artificially designed, which pays attention to a certain process and logic, and there is basically no surprise in reality.

"What are you talking about?" You Qingyu slowed down, walked down a few steps, and stopped when he saw the armor.

She was almost killed by the armor just now, and she still has lingering fears.

"Speaking of which, why hasn't this armor left for so long?" She whispered, "If it can't enter the stairwell, then it should have lost its target. There is no reason to stay here. It looks like ...waiting for us to get out, or trying to rush in and kill us."

"Perhaps, it might be able to rush in at some point..." Zhao Jun said with a frown.

"Don't be crowed, it won't happen." You Qingyu stretched out his head again to look at the dark spiral staircase.

"No, I'm not joking with you, don't you think this armor is creepy when poked here?" Zhao Jun smiled wryly, "I always feel that it seems to be watching us all the time, watching our every move , like...a cat playing with a mouse."

This description is chilling.Zeng Xin, who was sitting at the corner, trembled, and said softly, "No way..."

"Is it because you think too much?"

Having said that, You Qingyu still looked at the armor carefully for a while, and after a while, she suddenly frowned.

"No, this armor... feels very strange."

"Strange? What's strange?"

She shone the flashlight on the middle of the armor, starting from the neck down and going all the way down the chest and abdomen.Soon, others understood what she meant.

"This armor...doesn't have a stomach?"

The chest of the armor was spliced ​​by several pieces of iron, forming a dark shadow that completely covered the abdomen in the dark.So if you don't look carefully, you really don't notice that a whole piece of its abdomen is missing.

Fang Shiqing jumped down the steps again, squatted down, and boldly photographed its abdomen from a parallel height.

——That section was empty, only a thick darkness.

The upper part of the dark part was hidden inside the breastplate, and the lower part was connected smoothly with the crotch, as if the dark part itself was part of the armor.After the flashlight fell into that position, it was like being swallowed by blackness, and nothing could be illuminated.

"...This kind of detail shouldn't be important, right? Maybe this armor itself doesn't have the middle part, so why bother with a monster?" Zhao Jun shouted from behind, "Don't get too close to it, it's too dangerous gone."

"Yes, you'd better not get too close."

It was rare that You Qingyu didn't choke with Zhao Jun, but called back in unison.

Zeng Xin suddenly said timidly: "Actually... that, have you never thought about it? The reason why it blocks the door is to..."

She hesitated and said, "Is it to prevent us from going out this door? It's like when we just entered the book, an explosion immediately blocked the door."

As soon as she said this, the others were silent for a while.

— She was right.If that pair of armor has been standing here, the players will never be able to go back to the lobby on the first floor.

It's just that there is no chance to collect clues and collect items. The most terrible thing is that they had talked to the two people on the other side when they parted ways before, and they might find a chance to meet up later.It's over now, they can't even go back, they have to go up or down, what are they talking about rendezvous?

And the two people who were separated on the other side didn't know the situation here, and they would probably continue wandering around on the first floor until they also encountered this kind of armor——

"It seems that this dungeon may be set up like this." You Qingyu frowned, "Once you leave a certain area, the road will be blocked immediately, and players are not allowed to go back."

Thinking about it carefully, the ghost in the mirror dungeon actually had such a rule. At that time, all teleportation mirrors were one-way teleportation. It was basically impossible to return to the scene you had been to.But compared to the relatively gentle method of the previous dungeon, the method of road closure here is obviously much more drastic.

Feeling distressed about the clues that might be missed, and worrying about the teammates who are far away on the other road and the boss who has not known whereabouts so far, Fang Shiqing also felt a little uncomfortable.

A few people fell silent again after that, and no one spoke for a long time. They didn't start to discuss the next thing until their physical strength was almost recovered.

After seeing the downward spiral staircase, You Qingyu showed a lot of interest in it.

"It can't be where the boss is. How can there be a boss that appeared so early. I think the final boss of this copy must be on the roof of this abandoned building. We need to climb all the way up to the highest point to see it."

"Then what do you think there's going to be underground?"

"I don't know," You Qingyu shook his head and said, "But I think we must go and have a look."

She glanced at the second floor, "According to the previous situation, if we miss this opportunity, I'm afraid it will be impossible to go down again."

According to the urine nature of this dungeon, maybe as soon as a few people enter the second floor, the entire stairwell will be sealed, and no one will be able to come back by then.

Several people briefly agreed on their opinions and decided to go downstairs to have a look first.

As for the situation that it will be impossible to go upstairs again, Fang Shiqing also has some assumptions in his heart, but he thinks it is unlikely: if this dungeon still expects the player to pass the level, then even if the road is closed, the only way back is blocked. It is absolutely impossible to block the way forward.

In this way, the players stepped into the small door one after another, stepped on the spiral staircase, and walked down——

The style of this spiral staircase is far from the whole abandoned building.

The stairs are built in a spiral shape around the middle column, and the bottom of each section is suspended. When walking on the outside, the wooden boards under the feet will shake up and down, which is frightening; and one or two meters away from the outside of the steps is Concrete walls, obviously no place to climb.

Although the steps are not narrow, the players dare not walk side by side, they can only line up in a vertical row, sticking to the innermost side and gradually descending.

Fang Shiqing volunteered to walk in the front, but no one else competed with him for the leading position - in fact, normal people should want to shrink back at such a time.

After walking down for a short distance, he quickly noticed something was wrong.He used a flashlight to shine down through the gap in the stairs: "This staircase seems a bit too long, right?"

As far as the eye can see, there are only endless steps extending down, until it is submerged in darkness, and it is impossible to see the bottom.

"It's too long. We've already walked more than ten meters. Even the underground garage should have arrived by now," Zhao Jun said behind him. I don’t think it should go any further.”

You Qingyu and Zeng Xin walked a little further behind. Although they were one in front of the other, the two girls still held hands with each other, probably in this way to give themselves and each other a sense of security.

"Let's go a little further..." You Qingyu hesitated a bit, "Maybe it will be the end if we walk a little longer?"

This "one point" has gone for a long time.The surrounding darkness eroded the glimmer of the flashlight little by little, until Fang Shiqing couldn't take it anymore, finally there was a solid shadow underneath.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they jumped down the steps.As a rough estimate, this section of stairs is about 30 meters long. This figure is not very large, but there are also ordinary houses with more than ten floors, especially in a dark and quiet environment, which will infinitely lengthen people's perception of time.

Fang Shiqing quickly found a single door obliquely ahead. The door was locked, but more than half of the hinge was broken. He and Zhao Jun broke it hard, and quickly took it down completely. .

There was another deep darkness behind the door.

The moment he walked through the door, Fang Shiqing felt a long-lost viscous feeling, as if the surrounding air suddenly turned into a liquid, which was very similar to the feeling of passing through the teleportation point in the previous dungeon.But this feeling was only fleeting. The next moment, he was surprised to find that he was standing in a very bright place.

The white light cast above his head made him close his eyes instinctively, and at the same time he dodged to the side to make room for his teammates behind him.

——Here... At first glance, it really looks like an underground parking lot.

Many gray pillars are regularly arranged, and the end can't be seen at a glance.There are no windows on the top of the head, and many bright LED lights are installed on both sides of each pillar, lighting up the huge space like daytime.

Other than that, there's nothing here.

"What is this place?"

Several people turned off the flashlight suspiciously, and stood together, not daring to move forward.

Although it is bright and majestic here, it is much better than the dark ground, but there is an inexplicably strange atmosphere in the air, which makes people feel great pressure and unconscious panic.

"Look, that pillar... doesn't seem right." Zeng Xin grabbed Fang Shiqing's shoulder and pointed to the other side.

The pillar she pointed to was a little far away, and with ordinary eyesight, from this position, one could only vaguely see something protruding on it.

Fang Shiqing couldn't see what it was, so he moved closer.

At first glance, it seems to be a cone with a slightly curved surface, but it doesn't seem right...

Its surface is the same cement color as the columns, but that shape is too subtle.

He wanted to take a closer look, but Zhao Jun grabbed him and said, "Let's go together."

The four of them walked forward together, and when they were only a few meters away from there, Fang Shiqing suddenly realized what it was, and his heart skipped a beat.

"It's like..." he whispered, "a man's...elbow."

"……elbow?"

You Qingyu was the quickest to react, she ran to the side of the pillar in a few steps, her face suddenly turned pale.

"I'm afraid it is, really," she covered her mouth and said intermittently, "This is, it is a bent arm, only the joints are exposed..."

— There is someone inside the pillar.There are dead bodies, to be exact.

If the head behind the glass plate may be a special ornament, the elbow protruding from the pillar may only be a part connected to the human body.The elbow joint is not the end of the limb, nor is it a major feature, and even if the arm is deliberately cut into several pieces, it is rarely preserved by people.

"This, this thing..." Zhao Jun looked around with a livid face, "Could it be that there are... every pillar in the surrounding pillars?!"

Maybe that's the case.Fang Shiqing turned his head to look around, and soon saw a strange protrusion on another pillar not far away, which looked like a human heel.

At this moment, his arm was grabbed at once.

It was Zeng Xin who grabbed him. This girl had a strong hand, but this time she pulled her so hard that it almost broke his arm.

"Don't be afraid," he comforted subconsciously, he was used to it all the way, "this is just a game, these are just the background of the game, they are all fake."

However, Zeng Xin did not relax at all.She desperately grabbed Fang Shiqing's arms, her face was bloodless, and her voice was so weak that she almost groaned: "Shiqing, you...Look, over there—"

Following her gaze and looking into the distance, Fang Shiqing froze suddenly, and cold sweat oozed from his back.

At the end of the line of sight, at an unknown time, a very tall and deformed shadow appeared.
