God will also obey my laws [infinite]

The second rule that appeared in the predicament was not as frightening as the first time, but it inspired the desire to survive.

Finally, there was one more reminder, and everyone leaned against the wall one after another, looking carefully.

But they were still at a loss, their minds went blank.

Uncle Xie Ding cleared his throat: "Hey, according to this handsome guy who is not here for the first time, we have to abide by the rules of this house."

The office workers are repeating silently: "Do not leave... Do not step on the shadow of animals... Be stepped on by other animals..."

"In this way, it's not difficult to follow the rules." Huangmao breathed a sigh of relief, "There are no animals here, and I won't step on their shadows, unless there are mice or cats hiding in the cabinet and other rooms..."

The man with glasses retorted: "Is it really an animal when you say it is an animal? The first sentence is about the rules of the circus, and this is not a circus."

"Then how do you obey? Where is the circus?"

"Don't worry."

The office worker took out the cigarette, but did not light it. Smelling the smell of tobacco seemed to calm him down quickly.

"Maybe, can you think of it this way." The office worker said, "This is not a circus, but the old man who leaves here will die. In other words, the circus is a metaphor, referring to this room..."

All attention was on him.

"and then?"

"Since the circus is a metaphor for this room, can it be said that the animals mentioned here can also be a metaphor for people." The office worker gestured with his eyes, "That's us."

The female middle school student was dubious: "Can you borrow it like this?"

Uncle Xie Ding has the attitude of a dead horse as a living horse doctor: "That's good. It doesn't matter if we don't step on the shadows of animals or people, as long as we don't step on any shadows, wouldn't it be fine? Don't step on our own shadows." !"

The chandelier has a warm yellow hue and is firmly fixed without dangling. Part of the wallpaper on the wall is patterned, and it has a strange oily feeling over the years, and everyone's shadows are firmly projected on it.

Each of them glanced at their own shadows, there was no cold wind, but the backs were hairy, and after staring at them for a long time, there would be an illusion that the shadow was not their own.

The man with glasses tried his best to regain his senses: "Because it's in a floating state, so as long as your feet don't touch objects, theoretically you won't step on the shadow... right?"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Jiang Chi as if seeking proof.

Jiang Chi: "Yes."

"But..." the woman in the red skirt was worried, "So what if we follow the rules, aren't we still unable to get out?"

"Yeah, it's not enough to follow the rules, you have to find a way out."

Everyone else was a little discouraged, and their brows were knitted together.

clap clap-

Chen Ge clapped his hands suddenly: "Cheer up, at least you can guarantee that you won't die."

This sentence is a bit magical, but I don't know whether it is stimulation or encouragement.

Just as Chen Ge raised his thumb, wanting to point to the corridor on the stairs behind him, Jiang Chi suddenly brushed past him.

"Hey, where are you going?"

Jiang Chi moved the furniture that could be hooked: "Look around."

Chen Ge told Ye Wenwen: "You stay here and watch other people, I'll be with him." Then he followed Jiang Chi.

During the few hours they came in, they stayed in this living room, and there were light sources in other corners and rooms, so it wouldn't be a scary environment, but no one dared to move around.The others handed over the task of checking the room to Jiang Chi and the others, while they rummaged through the boxes in the living room to see if there were any clues.

The structure here is no different from that of a mansion villa. The first floor is the hall, the second floor is the bedroom, the third floor is the attic, the kitchen and laundry room are on the first floor, and there is a cellar below.The interior decoration is also readily available.

Moreover, the furniture in the room didn't look like a simple set. Some of them were old and very old. The double bed was covered with white-washed sheets, and there was a rope on the side of the bed for fixing people.

"Tsk tsk..." Chen Ge suddenly sighed, "This kind of restraint belt seems to appear on the bed of a mental hospital to prevent mental patients from running around."

Jiang Chi didn't touch those things: "It's for preventing floating."

"The meaning of your words is reserved for us." Chen Ge refused, "I don't want to use this thing."

After speaking, the two moved downstairs.

Chen Ge is a little familiar, of course, after letting go of his guard against others.

Jiang Chi couldn't understand why he was on guard against him before. For Chen Ge, it was not the first time he entered this so-called dungeon, so he was considered a veteran. Why would he show such an expression to a newcomer?

Dread, fear, instinctive escape and defensive state.

And what Jiang Chi can be sure of is that even though Chen Ge lied at the beginning, he never intended to play a trick on himself from the beginning to the end, and it wasn't that the other party was pretending to be like him, it was because Jiang Chi had a good understanding of his ability to recognize people. confidence.

No cooperation was proposed, no deal was proposed, it seemed harmless to humans and animals, there was no conspiracy, and there was an attitude of thinking and helping those outside.

What is the purpose of Chen Ge and Ye Wenwen to come here?Could it be that other than those who came by accident, would there be anyone who would take the initiative to enter this so-called dungeon?

Just as he was thinking, a hand suddenly waved in front of his eyes, Chen Ge interrupted Jiang Chi's thinking: "What did you think of? So distracted?"

"It's nothing, you look at these things."

At this time, they had moved to the kitchen on the first floor, and saw that some daily utensils were fixed in the display cabinets, such as candlesticks, stoves, bowls and chopsticks, etc., with sticky stickers on the bottom.

Judging by the degree of dust and copper rust on those things, they are not brand new, but they exist very reasonably, and there are traces of frequent use on them. It looks as if there were people living here not long ago.

Jiang Chi: "It is possible that someone in this house lived in a weightless environment for a long time."

Chen Ge hissed: "What? How could you say such terrifying words in such a calm tone? Aren't you afraid, newcomer entering this kind of place for the first time?"

Jiang Chi was trying to fiddle with the clock attached to the wall without raising his eyes: "For things beyond the scope of understanding, it is easier to be afraid of the known than the unknown."

"That's a good statement. The ignorant are fearless. Like me, no matter how many times I come in, I can't adapt to this environment well..." Chen Ge didn't care if he said something wrong, without thinking at all.

Jiang Chi finally raised his head and glanced at Chen Ge.

"So you won't be less afraid than me just because you come in more times than me, otherwise you wouldn't carry such a big equipment bag." Jiang Chi was curious at the beginning, "What's in it?"

"It's just some self-defense equipment."

"Look." Chen Ge turned the backpack to his chest, hung the straps on his shoulders, and unzipped the zipper to reveal some ropes, climbing tools, candle light sticks, flashlights, etc. inside.

"It's nothing strange, just a camping enthusiast." Chen Ge explained.

No matter how you look at it, this looks like an old hand, because even people who like wild adventures don't carry survival equipment with them every day.

When Chen Ge re-zipped the zipper, he realized something and couldn't help muttering.

"It's so strange, you are obviously a novice, why am I still half shorter than you for no reason? I will answer you if you ask, and I will show you the contents of the backpack to prove that I am not lying to you!"

Jiang Chi didn't listen carefully to what he was yelling, and only commented: "You should have no bad intentions, you are a good person."

Chen Ge was even more speechless, and just like that, he was issued a good person card.

"Uh..." Jiang Chi had already left the room and headed towards the cellar. Chen Ge watched him leave and followed him.

The cellar is a small storage room. It is not a vacuum environment. As soon as the door is opened, there is a stale musty smell, and dust particles are also suspended in mid-air.

Moreover, the light bulb was seriously aging, the filament was black, and the light was very dim compared to the outside.

There are piles of things wrapped in oiled paper in the storage room, which are tied and fixed on the iron frame nailed to the wall. Jiang Chi tore a corner and found that there were bottled water and canned food inside.

Chen Ge was pleasantly surprised: "Oh, it's saved, so I won't starve to death."

After turning around, the two returned to the living room, and the others stretched their necks looking forward to it.

"How is it?" Uncle Xieding asked.

Chen Ge pursed his lips: "It's safe. And there is good news, there is water and food in the storage room, enough to survive for a while."

Optimistic people are overjoyed, while pessimistic people are gloomy.

The woman in the red dress was dejected: "Is it only enough to survive for a while?"

Office worker: "You still want to live here for a long time, it would be nice if you don't have to go hungry these days."

"There are a few rooms upstairs, where everyone can rest." Chen Ge added, "There are comfortable beds in the rooms, but from what we look like, it's not a big problem whether we sleep or not."

Ye Wenwen said: "Although I don't know if the time here is accurate, but according to the body's biological clock, it is estimated that it is too late at this moment. Why don't you rest first, or your body will not be able to bear it."

After floating for so long, they have not undergone any training after all, and they have already developed symptoms of tinnitus, dizziness and nausea.

"Allocate the rooms upstairs." Chen Ge agreed.

The woman in the red skirt looked worried: "Can't we all stay together, it's scary."

Chen Ge: "It's not..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Jiang Chi remind him: "No."

"Huh?" The woman in the red dress was taken aback for a moment.

Jiang Chi explained: "The more people there are in the same place, the easier it is to step on each other's shadows once they fall asleep, and there is no way to stay together."

Chen Ge reacted: "Oh, yes, yes, because it is in a floating state, you will not be able to control your body to float around when you sleep, so you must find a rope to tie your body to the furniture to fix it, otherwise you will not be able to sleep when you are sleeping. If you accidentally bump into something, it is tantamount to stepping on your own shadow. And everyone should not be too close, just in case."

Uncle Xie Ding had lingering fears: "That's too dangerous!"

The man with glasses pointed at the female middle school student, and comforted the woman in the red skirt: "You and that little girl can go upstairs to the room, those who don't have enough rooms can sleep in the living room."

"I want to sleep on the bed. Didn't you just say that the bed has ropes? That's just right." Huang Mao took a seat for himself first.

Chen Ge opened his backpack: "Don't panic, I still have some ropes here, let's share them."

"Ah, thank you." The office worker showed a grateful expression.

The eyes of the woman in the red dress turned red again: "You are really a good person."

Chen Ge couldn't laugh or cry, he was issued a good person card just now, and now there is another one.

After the ropes were allocated, Chen Ge acted like a caring big brother, wholeheartedly playing the role of a good person: "OK, then you choose the room and place first, and leave the rest to me and Wenwen."

Marven Ye hummed: "We don't choose."

Everyone carried the ropes and dispersed all at once, because the old man died by the door, and the bloody smell in the living room lingered for a long time. Except for the two bolder old men with bald heads and the man with glasses who stayed in the living room, the rest After choosing a room, the cabinet and bed are just enough for them to fix, just right.

Chen Ge glanced at Jiang Chi who hadn't moved for a long time: "Where are you tied?"

Jiang Chi: "..."

Chen Ge: "No, where do you sleep."

In fact, the rooms are almost full, and Jiang Chi has no choice: "I'll live in the attic."

Chen Ge clicked his tongue again: "It's too dark there, it's like haunted, they don't dare to go in, is it okay for you to be there by yourself?"

"I'm a light sleeper, and it's better to sleep with the lights off, at least it's pitch black and there are no shadows."

Chen Ge: "..."

Dare to turn off the lights in this environment is also a first-class psychological quality.

Chen Ge knew that he was courageous and couldn't pretend to be calm, so he didn't say anything.

Jiang Chi remained expressionless as he wandered to his exclusive attic room.

Everyone has settled down, and the pendulum clock on the closet is also passing quietly, the pointer is moving every minute and every second, and it is not the same as the time in the outside world, only the sound of ticking is flowing in the room.

Everyone whose body was close to the limit finally fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, but I only heard a few clangs from the pendulum clock, reminding me that it was morning.

The sudden sound woke everyone up. As soon as they opened their eyes, dazedly reflecting the dream-like floating state, they heard shouts from the living room.

The voice of the man with glasses was full of surprise and joy——

"Come out and have a look!"

When everyone untied the ropes that fixed the furniture and objects and moved to the living room, they saw a new rule on the wall that had been written before.

[Rule [-]: The animal trainer has no shadow. If you see the animal trainer, please do not answer the animal trainer's questions. 】

Others surrounded him. The man with glasses was untying the rope on his body. He was a little anxious and his fingers were all tangled together.

The bald uncle who slept in the living room with him was still fastened to the closet behind the sofa, dragging the rope, leaning his body, showing his side face.

Chen Ge yawned: "When did the new rules appear?"

The man with glasses who was very close to the wall shook his head: "I didn't notice, it should have appeared in the middle of the night, I saw it when I woke up."

Jiang Chi glanced at the pendulum clock, he had only slept for a few hours, the bruises under his eyes were getting heavier, his pale face and pale lips looked a bit sleepy.

He was staring at the wall when he suddenly felt someone approaching behind him, and his ears itch, which made Jiang Chi feel a little uncomfortable.Uncle Xie Ding floated behind him at some point, and got very close to him, as if sticking out his head from behind his shoulder.

Jiang Chi only glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, then subconsciously took a step forward and distanced himself.

He doesn't like to get too close to people, let alone in this kind of place.

Strangely, although Uncle Xie Ding swam behind them, he, who was always talkative, didn't express his opinion.When other people turned their heads, they could see Uncle Xie Ding showing a terrified expression, his eyes widened, and he was too frightened to speak.And the rope on his body still hasn't been untied, the other end is still tied to the closet, it's just that the rope is loose.

Chen Ge chanted the new rules of the wall: "The animal trainer has no shadow...don't answer the animal trainer's question..."

Huangmao, who had the loudest voice, lowered his voice: "Who... who the hell is the animal trainer, let's see who has no shadow?"

When he asked this, everyone fell silent.

The office workers began to count, and under the warm yellow light, their shadows were clearly distinguishable.

In the beginning there were ten people and one old man died, now there should be nine shadows of nine people.

"Seven...eight...nine..." The office worker breathed a sigh of relief after counting the shadows one by one.

There should be no so-called animal trainers among them.

Jiang Chi is still a little concerned, not the new rules in front of him, but behind him.

Then he subconsciously turned around.

Behind him, the strange thing is that the old man who was poking his head from his shoulder just now turned his back at some point, and now his back is facing them.

This is so unusual.

Everyone's attention was attracted by the wall, and they wanted to stick their faces to the wall, but the old bald man, like a person who didn't fit in, was doing the opposite action alone.

And Uncle Xieding's body was a little stiff, his limbs were slightly bent, and he was shaking from side to side nervously.

Only then did Jiang Chi realize something.

"Someone died."

Jiang Chi's voice was whispering like a ghost, setting off waves in the silence, everyone followed the sound and turned their heads, stunned.

In mid-air, Uncle Xie Ding bent his limbs, his fingers clasped like chicken claws. Because of the large number of people and the air flow, Uncle Xie Ding's wobbly body turned around with his back to them.

Like a body balloon, tied to the closet by a string, the body floats.

On Uncle Xie Ding's face, the expression they had just seen was still terrified and frozen.

It turned out that he was not frightened just now, but died with this expression.And died long ago.

It's just floating all the time, it's hard to notice.

"what!!"

Unexpectedly, the woman in the red dress and the middle school student screamed in fright when they saw the terrifying appearance of Uncle Xie Ding.

"He... how did he die?" The man with glasses who was sleeping in the living room didn't know what happened.

Last night, in order to avoid accidents, they were separated by a long distance. The man with glasses tied himself to a closet near the wall, while Uncle Xieding was in the closet ten meters away from him.

Chen Ge's expression also became serious: "Did anything happen last night?"

The man with glasses shook his head: "No, maybe I fell asleep and didn't pay attention..."

Ye Wenwen slowly approached Uncle Xie Ding's body without changing his expression, and took a close look at it.No sense of fear at all.

"Her face, purple lips, he died of suffocation." Like an experienced forensic doctor, Ye Wenwen spoke with certainty.

Chen Ge subconsciously turned his head and asked Jiang Chi: "Did he step on his own shadow?"

Jiang Chi agreed with him: "It's possible, otherwise at least one person should die."

According to the previous rules, if Uncle Xie Ding was stepped on by someone's shadow, the person who stepped on his shadow would also die.

But now there is only one dead.

The office worker panicked: "Didn't everyone fix their bodies when they were sleeping last night? How could he step on..."

Huang Mao spat unhappily: "He is stupid, or else he wanted to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, untied the rope, and accidentally stepped on his own shadow."

Marven Ye reminded: "There is a third rule."

Chen Ge fell into deep thought: "Yes, if you see a person without a shadow, you can't answer the question. This uncle sleeps near the door. Could it be him..." After a pause, "I met a person without a shadow in the middle of the night?"

As soon as the door was mentioned, the uncontrollable smell of blood came out from the tip of everyone's nose instinctively. After a night of fermentation, the corruption became even worse.No one dared to take a second look at the door, but during this half-second pause, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Everyone heard it.

Crisp and powerful, with great clarity.

knock knock --

The room was completely silent, and everyone looked at each other, leaving only the sound of heavy breathing.

At a time like this, the outside is outer space... In this kind of place, who would knock on the door?

Before they could react and try to hold the door, the unlocked door creaked and was pushed open.

Outside the door, there is almost abstract blackness, the space is mysterious and boundless, but it is as difficult to look directly at as an abyss.

A white figure landed by the door, wearing a heavy flight suit and a glass-topped hood. Even though the flight suit made his figure unreasonably huge, it is not difficult to see that this person's original stature is also very large. Slender and tall.

After entering the door, the man put a huge suitcase by his feet with one hand, and pressed the push-type switch on his neck with the other hand. With a snort, the pressure leaked out, and he took off the heavy headgear. .

It was a young man's face, with handsome appearance, long chestnut hair, and a somewhat dull expression between the slender eyebrows and eyes, which seemed so arrogant and careless.

At the same time, everyone was horrified to find that there was no shadow of this person.

The one without shadow is the animal trainer.

If you see the animal trainer.

Please don't answer his question.

And the man immediately asked a question——

"Who is Jiang Chi?"
