[Infinite] End Game

"It should be a community." Chang He patted him with a peaceful voice.

The surrounding scenery is quite monotonous, and it is actually a bit flattering to say that it is a residential area.There are a total of four apartment buildings here. There is an opening in the middle of the two buildings on both sides, which is the gate of the community. Behind the two buildings behind is a fence about five meters high. There is a lot of people outside the fence, which sounds like a vegetable market.

The four buildings are all 28 floors, and a flower bed is built in the open space enclosed in the middle. The original flowers have been pulled out and replanted with green onions, and some of the green onion leaves are still yellow.The fitness equipment placed in a circle around the flower bed, although the ground is flat, but perhaps because the surrounding buildings are too high and the flat ground circled is too small, it inexplicably creates a feeling of depression on the ground.

It is evening now, the setting sun is about to sink, but the lights in the city have not yet been lit. The four buildings are painted in a strange black gray for some aesthetic reason, standing high above the head like four standing buildings. Like a coffin.

In short, there is a depressing and desolate atmosphere everywhere, and it doesn't feel like a formal residence or community, but rather like a family building of some kind of enterprise.

"Do you have a key?" Chang He took out a key from his trouser pocket and handed it to Tang Yu, "I had this on me when I woke up, Building D 1703."

After hearing this, Tang Yu fumbled in his trouser pocket twice, and sure enough, he also found a key. Looking at it in the half-dimmed light, he found that the house number on it was the same as Chang He's.

"Go up and have a look?" Tang Yu put it in his pocket, looked up at the windows on the 17th floor, they were all dark.

In fact, not only the 17th floor, but the entire D building has no lights.

"Go and have a look." Chang He took a step forward, faintly blocking Tang Yu behind him.

The two opened the door together, and the voice-activated lights in the corridor flickered a few times before drying up. The dim light illuminated the quiet tumbling dust in the corridor and a gray elevator facing the direction of the door.

Regarding the elevator, it has a good role in various classic horror movies and horror stories. There seems to be another world behind the two tightly closed metal doors, with ghosts and monsters inside, connecting heaven and hell.

Even if he didn't hate confined spaces, the elevator gave him a bad feeling.

Tang Yu's footsteps stopped, and his eyes turned from the up and down buttons next to the elevator to the other end of the corridor.There was a safety door there, and a green emergency exit sign that was no longer lit was nailed to the wall next to it, indicating that there should be a safety staircase behind the door.

"Brother Chang," Tang Yu called out, "Let's take the stairs."

The 17th floor can be said to be high or low, but it’s not a big deal for him, a young man in his twenties. For Chang He, who conservatively estimates that he can beat him five times, it’s just Not to mention nothing.

So of course Chang He had no objection. In fact, even if Tang Yu asked him to recite it, he had no objection.

But Tang Yu obviously wouldn't say that, so Chang He could only slowly climb up with Tang Yu, and occasionally stretched out his hand to drag him up to the 17th floor.

There are three families on each floor of this apartment, sharing an elevator and a staircase, but now there are only Tang Yu and Chang He on the entire 17th floor, and their footsteps echo in the corridor.

1703 is the house farthest from the security door, but it is the closest to the elevator. The voice-activated lights above their heads turned on when they opened the door. A cloudy yellow light hit the white wall not only did not have the effect of widening the vision, but turned the original The not-so-wide corridor seemed extremely narrow.

Tang Yu took out the key, and just as he was about to open the door, Chang He pressed his shoulder. Almost at the same time, the voice-activated light above his head went out, and the entire 17th floor was instantly plunged into darkness.

Tang Yu became tense in an instant, his Adam's apple moved up and down, trying to digest the shock that almost reached his mouth into a slight swallow.

There will be a period of time when the eyes that have adapted to the light suddenly enter the dark environment, and Tang Yu can only feel his fast heartbeat and the warm touch of the hand on his shoulder.

"There is a smell of blood inside the door." Chang He leaned close to Tang Yu's ear and lowered his voice. At the same time, he reached for the key in Tang Yu's hand and said, "I'll open it."

"I'll do it." At this moment, his eyes had adapted to the darkness, and the outline of the door lock was at hand.Tang Yu held the key tightly. Although his palms were a little sweaty, in fact, according to the taste of the dungeon, it didn't seem particularly surprising that there was something in this room.

Tang Yu waved his hand to turn on the voice-activated light, and then opened the door smoothly with the help of the light. As soon as he pulled the doorknob, an extremely strong smell of blood came out from the crack of the door. Chang He frowned instantly. He is very sensitive to smells, but too strong smells can interfere with his senses.

"wait."

Tang Yu glanced at Chang He quickly, found the switch on the wall next to the entrance, and took a picture. The bright white light immediately shone down, fully showing the whole room, but unexpectedly, the whole room was completely dry. It was clean, and there was no trace of blood, only a strong smell of blood lingered in the nose, and the place with the strongest smell was the beige sofa in the center of the living room.

Tang Yu's eyes stopped on the sofa for a second, then he looked away, walked quickly to the window, and stretched out his hand to open the window.

The cool wind blew up in an instant, quickly diluting the bloody smell in the room, and the white curtains hanging by the window were raised high, like a flag was raised.Standing by the window, Tang Yu turned around and waved to Chang He, saying, "Is this better?"

"Yeah." Chang He smiled at Tang Yu, covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve and walked in, squatting next to the sofa to check.

There was indeed no blood stains in the room. The beige leather sofa looked normal except that some parts of the leather had peeled off due to age, but the source of the bloody smell in the room was indeed this sofa, and the floor surrounding the sofa was also It lingered with blood, but it was much lighter than the sofa. It looked as if the sofa couldn't absorb it, so it smudged to the floor.

Tang Yu also walked up to take a look, feeling a little strange.

In fact, it’s not a big deal to have a blood-soaked sofa in a horror dungeon, even if the room is full of blood, it’s not a big deal, but this kind of situation where there is only smell and the smell is so strong that at least two or three people have died is actually heart-warming. disturbed.

The layout of 1703 is very simple, with an area of ​​about 40 square meters. It is a classic single apartment layout with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom.

Tang Yu and Chang He walked around the room again, and found that the whole room was cleaned up very clean, and no personal items were found, just like ordinary cheap daily rental houses, except for the inexplicable smell of blood, everything was simple and clear.

"It would be great if there was a luminol reagent." Tang Yu sighed, looked around the room where he found nothing, and then looked at Chang He, asking, "What should I do next?"
