Survival Paradox [Infinite]

He was squatting somewhere, in front of his eyes were blue and white tiles, his whole body was curled up tightly, a huge cold enveloped him, his whole body seemed to be frozen, and he couldn't move at all.

He stared at the shadow on the ground in front of him.

One part of the shadow - the part that belonged to him - trembled slightly, while the other part - the part behind him and above his head - was getting bigger and bigger, and something came down from there, away from him. It's getting closer.

But he couldn't move.

He felt the "breath" of that thing, wet and cold, and he could gradually see the shape of that huge shadow—that shadow had completely wrapped his trembling little shadow—it seemed to be something curled up with tentacles Something like, octopus, squid or something...

Fear paralyzed all his organs, he could barely breathe, he curled himself up into a small ball, and felt water dripping on the back of his neck.

The icy breath is also closer, it feels less than a centimeter away from the scalp, as long as he raises his head, he may bump into that thing...

Suddenly, something grabbed his shoulder.

A piercing scream flashed through his mind, and he subconsciously reached out to flick the thing that grabbed his shoulder, only to touch a hand of mucus, and he found that it was a handful of seaweed soaked in the mucus...

Then, he was lifted by a huge force, turned around, and faced the thing——

He met Jiang Shurao's face.

Her already big eyes looked even bigger now, taking up almost half of her face. The eyes were pitch black with no whites. Those curly seaweeds were her hair, which covered the ceiling, walls, and water pipes of the toilet...

She opened her mouth to call his name, and the hair came out of her mouth again——

Wei Chi kicked his legs and woke up.

He stared at the pitch-black bed board, and took a long time to catch his breath.

He realized that he was lying on the dormitory bed.

The dormitory sleeps eight people, with four bunk beds. He lives in the lower bunk of bed No. [-], while Ji Jingzhe lives in the lower bunk of bed No. [-], facing him head to head.

He recalled what happened during the day, probably due to his nervousness... Jiang Shurao's new shampoo smelled a little greasy, and after half a night of self-study, he was dazed.

He turned over and felt a pain in his abdomen. He endured it, but had no choice but to get up to go to the toilet.

The lights in the dormitory were turned off at [-]:[-], and he could only feel the darkness when he got up at night. He squatted on the pit, and the scene in his dream appeared in his mind. He was a little scared, hugged his knees, and began to recite PI.

Suddenly, he felt a shadow on his eyelids.

He looked up.

Directly opposite the squatting pit is the washbasin. The washbasin is attached to the wall. There is a horizontal window on the wall, which is about 1.5 meters long and [-] centimeters high.

Behind that wall is the corridor, and beyond the corridor is the sky.I don't know why, but the sky seen from here is not pure black, but a bit purplish red, probably due to light pollution.

Each dormitory has its own toilet, and there are two pits across it. Wei Chi habitually squats on the left side. After living here for two years, he is also very used to the perspective seen from here, and is familiar with the sky at different times.

At this moment, he saw something dangling outside the window.

Probably the clothes that the dormitory auntie hangs.

He didn't think much, just stared at those few things in a daze, and didn't concentrate on reciting pi.

Looking at it, he found that when the third black shadow from left to right deflected to a certain angle, it seemed that a star flashed slightly.

After he finished using the toilet and stood up, his line of sight changed abruptly, from half a meter high to 1.8 meters high, and the things outside the window also changed a little shape.

He turned around and pressed the flush button, with his back to the window, his brain turned belatedly——

When he was squatting just now, there were about three or four black shadows, all about the same width and shape, but after he stood up, the width of those things suddenly changed—it became two very thin One medium wide and one very wide.

What looks almost the same width when squatting down, but suddenly looks different when standing up?

In an instant, a picture flashed through his mind - Chopstick Brothers, Qiu Yixiong, and a fat follower of Qiu Yixiong were hung by their necks in a row in the corridor.

The brain quickly confirmed this picture, and found an ironclad evidence from the memory: the little dot that flashed was Qiu Yixiong's earrings.

Fear engulfed him in an instant, and he only felt a loud noise like a torrent erupting in his body——

When he regained his senses, he found that he had already run back to the dormitory and got into bed.

After finally taking a breath, he suddenly found that there was another person lying beside him!

His scalp was instantly numb, and he felt that the man was as stiff and cold as a stone...

He rolled off the bed with a "boom", and his eyes turned black. Then, he saw the person on the bed sitting up.

He wanted to run, but his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up, so he backed up while rubbing against the ground, and hit the opposite bed with another "boom".

I have to say that the quality of sleep of the boy in high school is really good. The iron bed was hit like this, but the person on that bed didn't wake up at all, turned over and let out two pig-like grunts.

Wei Chi felt that he had come to the brink of collapse, and the thread in his mind was about to snap.The person on the bed lifted the mosquito net, revealing an overly beautiful face under the light pollution, looked at him worriedly, and asked, "Wei Chi... what's wrong with you?"

It was Ji Jingzhe.

Wei Chi felt the blood rushing to his forehead fall back quickly, which brought him a burst of dizziness, his teeth were still chattering: "...you, why are you so cold?"

"I'm cold?" Ji Jingzhe frowned, and came to help him, he shrank back a bit, Ji Jingzhe paused, then slowed down, and slowly supported his elbow, his expression was not very good, " Are you cold?"

Wei Chi's heart rate has gradually slowed down, and his rationality has also returned. He observed the current position and realized that he was indeed too panicked just now. After running out of the toilet, he unconsciously ran to Ji Jingzhe's bed. And Ji Jingzhe's hand on him now is completely normal temperature.

Ji Jingzhe stroked his back, and asked worriedly: "What's wrong with you?"

Wei Chi told him what he saw in the toilet just now.

"The person was hung in the corridor?" Ji Jingzhe opened his eyes wide, "Are you sure?"

Wei Chi hesitated for a while, but now he was not so sure.

Ji Jingzhe helped him to his bed, and said, "I'll go and have a look."

Wei Chi grabbed his wrist, the fear in his heart was still haunting: "Otherwise... just forget it."

"It's okay." Ji Jingzhe said, "I'll go and have a look, otherwise you won't be able to sleep well all night."

Wei Chi gritted his teeth: "Then together."

Ji Jingzhe took the broom from behind the door, and handed the dustpan to Wei Chi, Wei Chi pressed against his back, breathing a bit short of breath.

Ji Jingzhe gently pushed open the door.

There is nothing in the corridor.

Ji Jingzhe's tense muscles also relaxed, and she turned her head and said, "No, could it be that you read it wrong?"

Wei Chi let go of the hanging heart, but the sense of fear did not disappear so quickly, and he said dryly: "It seems to be..."

Ji Jingzhe closed the door, put the broom and dustpan back in place, and dragged Wei Chi back to the bed. When he found that Wei Chi was still in a daze, he pushed him onto the bed to "place" him, and covered him with a quilt.When it's over, sit down beside Wei Chi's bed: "Don't be afraid, go to sleep, I'll watch over you."

Wei Chi was quiet for a while, and then said: "Otherwise... you can come up."

The two have slept together eight hundred times, if not one thousand, since Ji Jingzhe's parents passed away. The two families often sleep together, but they haven't slept together at school. One is that the bed is too small, and the other It is inevitable to be afraid of people making jokes.

Of course, Ji Jingzhe is not afraid of this faceless and skinless person. He often plays and rolls around on Weichi's bed and is unwilling to leave, but Weichi wants to face and drives people back every time. Today he took the initiative to say Let Ji Jingzhe go to bed, Ji Jingzhe is afraid that he is going to heaven.

But Ji Jingzhe said: "Forget it, I will squeeze you for a while."

Having said that, according to Weichi's personality, he would never invite him a second time.

Sure enough, Wei Chi even let go of the hand that grabbed the hem of his clothes.

Ji Jingzhe curled her lips helplessly, tucked Wei Chi up again, and said, "Go to sleep."

Wei Chi turned over, turned his back to him, and stopped talking.

Ji Jingzhe sat beside him for more than ten minutes, seeing that he was fast asleep, she rustled back to her bed.

But Wei Chi couldn't fall asleep at all, and fell into a state of extreme physical exhaustion and abnormal mental activity. When he fell asleep, he felt like he was riding a roller coaster, and then his legs shook, and he woke up completely again.

At this time, he heard footsteps.

In the corridor, intermittently, from far to near.

The white sweat on his back sprang up again.

His habit is to be afraid that something will be pressed against his back, so he can only lie flat and cover his head with the quilt, but in this way, he can hardly hear the sound outside.

He stayed like this for a while, he was a little dizzy because of the lack of air circulation and lack of oxygen, and because he couldn't hear the movement outside clearly, his heart was always hanging empty. After thinking about it, he still got his head out of the quilt.

Almost at the same time as he got out of the quilt, there was a "creak", close at hand-the door of their dormitory was pushed open.

He stopped all movements in an instant, and his whole body was so stiff that he dared not move.

"Click, click, click."

He heard footsteps coming in from the door all the way to his bed.

He suddenly remembered that someone in the class complained that their dorm supervisor "Ren Menopause" must be in menopause, and the whole person is not normal. He likes to quietly go to someone's bedside at night to check if anyone is playing with the phone. Sometimes it’s not enough just to watch, and you have to lift the quilt secretly. Once that person got up at night and went back at night. Before he fell asleep, the quilt was lifted by Ren Gengnian. , I had a nightmare for a week.

Wei Chi has no hobby of playing with his mobile phone under the covers, so he has never encountered this kind of "censorship".

But at this moment, he suddenly remembered this matter.

His heartbeat took off again, rumbling in his body, he tried his best to adjust his breathing, fearing that this heartbeat would be heard by Ren Gengnian.

He didn't dare to move, he lay upright, mechanically counted his breaths, and tried his best to erase the terrifying image of "staring at Ren Gengnian as soon as he opened his eyes" from his mind.

But the footsteps stopped right in front of his bed and never moved.

He resisted the urge to open his eyes to take a look, and lay still.

But as time went by, the silence spreading in the night made him more and more afraid, and his heartbeat became faster and faster uncontrollably. The face was imagined to be a stone's throw away from his.

He felt a bit itchy at the tip of his nose in this horrible imagining, and the air he exhaled seemed to encounter some resistance, and it circled back to his face.

He was afraid, while imagining, while fighting against the urge to open his eyes, when he was about to be unable to hold on——

"Fuck little glasses! There's a bunny in your ass!"

The "square head" on the fourth bed suddenly let out a loud cry.

Wei Chi felt that the "wall" in front of his face disappeared, and the footsteps of "pata pata" sounded, and he walked towards the fourth bed.

After a while, Wei Chi slightly opened his eyes, and saw a scene that terrified him——

Ren Gengnian stood in front of bed No. [-], climbed a step up the stairs, tilted his head, and looked at the face of "square head".

The boy's bed was a bit high, Ren Gengnian couldn't reach it even if he stood on the ladder, but her neck was stretched out like a snake, and she turned a twisted bend to be able to face the square head. The distance between the two faces is less than three centimeters.

She, she just... looked at him like this too?

Wei Chi felt that the fear almost froze his internal organs.

"Fang Brain" didn't realize it at all, and continued talking in sleep: "Fuck! Good shot!"
