Returning from the abyss

Chapter 719 Red Prison
In Tongfang Town, the sky was so dark that it was suffocating.Lu stared out the car window. There were still many pedestrians on the street here, but these pedestrians looked a little strange no matter how they looked.

"Master Dao, it seems to be okay in this town?" Yan Zidan asked a little strangely.

"Hmph, Kong left some skins. Even if some people are fine, it's just a matter of time." Duan Ye leaned on his seat, "Do you think the problems here are just superficial? Non-professionals can't tell .”

"Then can we still communicate with people here?" Lu Ning asked.

"Okay, don't get to the bottom of it, the people here should have no problem with normal communication."

"Then let's save Wang Zhongnan first." Lu Ning found out the address and gave Chen Hang directions.

This town has been around for quite a long time, and the residential area created by the industrial plants still maintains its original appearance. At the same time, many high-rise buildings have been built in the modern development trend, thus forming a well-proportioned architectural pattern. Not to mention the beauty, but some features.Wang Zhongnan said that he was at Yan Meng's home, which is a place in Tongfang Town where six high-rise apartment buildings are gathered together, even though it is called the Seven Star Building.After the car got downstairs, everyone got out of the car and raised their heads to look up.

The six buildings are all 24 floors, and they all have the same appearance except for the different building numbers.And now, even if she was just standing downstairs, Lu Ning could feel the strangeness of this apartment building.

It is daytime now, but the sky is gloomy, just in the light condition between turning on the lights and not turning on the lights.It's just that the lights are on from the first floor to the eighth floor, and the lights are off when you continue to go up to the nineteenth floor, and then go up to the top floor and the lights are on again-all six buildings are like this.Lu Ning took out her mobile phone and took a photo with the mover, but this time the app didn’t provide any useful information. It just said that these buildings were built within ten years, and there were no unnatural deaths during or after the construction. .

But now is the most unnatural situation.

"Shall we go in together?" Chen Hang asked.

The classic problem of horror stories, if you act together, the group may be destroyed without anyone knowing; if some people are separated to prevent accidents, it may cause a certain group of people to die due to lack of manpower or strength.When you don't know the specific situation, how to choose may be wrong.

"Together." Lu Ning looked at the door of the apartment, "What difference does it make if we're already here?"

The high-rise apartments here are equipped with concierges, and there are four households on each floor. As for Yan Meng's home, it is in 1003, which happens to be in the area where the lights are off.

Lu Ning first took a look inside the porter's room. There was no one there, but there were many books spread out on the table, with puzzling graffiti painted on them.On the wall facing the window is a "Instructions for Apartment Management", which reads in blood red letters:

One: Residents should be respectful and courteous, and other residents should not be disturbed.

Two: Everyone's living habits are different. In the case of not violating the first article, respect the living habits of others.

Three: Some prohibited behaviors promulgated by the apartment will be notified to you in time, please abide by them!

Four: Do not damage public property!

"That's it." Lu Ning pointed to the note and said, "I'm afraid Wang Zhongnan saw this."

"I hope he's okay." Yan Zidan looked at the elevator, "Should we take the elevator or go straight up the stairs? No matter which one may be dangerous."

"Save your energy, everyone." Duan Ye walked towards the elevator.

Now that the Taoist chief had spoken, everyone followed.

There is a smell of dust in the elevator, and it seems that no one has used it for a long time. Even the buttons are covered with a thin layer of dust.There was no light, so Lu Ning lit it up with her mobile phone, and then froze for a moment.

The entire interior of the elevator is full of black and red characters.

The red letters mainly include:
[Pressing the button directly cannot go to the floor you want to go to. 】

[After pressing the "0" at the bottom, use the illuminated buttons to form the floor you need to go to. 】

[The correct answer must be filled in once. 】

[Go to the wrong floor and you will die. 】

[Don't talk to strangers on the elevator. 】

[There is nothing on the 48th floor! 】

Black letters include:
{Enter information, 22-8920 floor evil spirits. }
{Layer 12724, death receptor detection}
{Do not make public, A-YES}
{Minus seven exploration conclusion, cut off completed}
{D778-D821 are all destroyed, I will die here. }
{Thirst, hunger, these are not normal phenomena, please continue to be vigilant. }
There are interlaced black and red letters on the wall, under the feet, and even above the head, and there is a clear difference in the tone of the two.Everyone looked at these words, and the quiet elevator fell into dead silence for a moment.

"Shall we...shall we do it?" Zhou Shilan asked softly.

"Taoist? Do you have any suggestions?" Lu Ning asked.

"This is also my first time here. I can only say that these words are written by humans, not ghosts." Duan Ye spread his hands, "You decide for yourself."

Lu Ning took a deep breath and pressed the only slightly bright "0" button.

In an instant, the button panel of the elevator began to flicker rapidly, as if someone was pressing it randomly.After about ten seconds, the flickering suddenly stopped, the ten floor buttons remained bright, and ten blood-red symbols appeared in the pale yellow light.

Lu Ning didn't recognize these symbols at all, but she had the impression that they seemed to be the pile of scribbles on the desk at the concierge.

So this is still a puzzle game?But the elevator door was closed, and Lu Ning did not find the button to open and close the door in the elevator.

"What do these symbols mean?" Chen Hang raised his eyebrows, "How do we combine them? Are we blind?"

"The concierge outside, there should be an answer on the table, but I didn't remember it just now." Lu Ning shook her head, "My fault, I should be more cautious, we can't get out now."

"I...let's try." Yan Zidan raised his arms, "Maybe I can get out."

"Be careful, there is a weird feeling everywhere in this place." Lu Ning said.

Yan Zidan nodded, stretched out her hand to press the spot on her arm, and in an instant, she disappeared.

Switching between the outside world and the inside world, this ability is more difficult to use than Lu Ning's Fate Sawtooth, because every use will bring a lot of physical burden to Yan Zidan.Although she can be accepted by the outside world, the body of a living person cannot last long after all.So Yanzidan has not been used other than initially tested twice.

Now that she is going to the inner world in such a place, it is actually more worrying.

The things there are all dead things, not only life, even electrical appliances and other things will not continue to work, of course it is no problem for Yan Zidan to leave the elevator, the problem is the things outside of that.

Everyone waited quietly in the elevator for about 10 minutes, and Yan Zidan reappeared in the elevator, her face was a little blue, she seemed to have vomited, and there were many stains on her clothes.

"Are you okay?" Zhou Shilan quickly supported her.

"Also... OK. I remember, we are going to the 10th floor now, right... Let me take a look..." Yan Zidan walked to the button and began to think about the combination method.

Lu Ning watched Yan Zidan's condition from the side.She hadn't fought, because there were no traces of violent fighting; her breathing was only slightly heavy, and she shouldn't have been running or anything like that.

After Yan Zidan pressed all the buttons, Lu Ning asked, "How is your health?"

"It's just a little tired." Yan Zidan forced a smile, "I... saw this building dying in the inner world, and I was a little frightened."

"How does this building die?" Duan Ye smiled, "Is there someone in this building?"

"I'm not sure, I just... saw the corpses, the whole building was full of corpses, overlapping each other, and there were sticky flesh and blood melting things under my feet... But I couldn't smell the smell, there was no smell in the inner world They are all dead, even the elevator, do you know that there is a big hole melted in the elevator door, and there are bones piled up under the metal skin!"

Yan Zidan was a little incoherent, but everyone understood what she meant.

"We have known for a long time that this place is abnormal, but now we just know more about it." Lu Ning patted Yan Zidan's shoulders, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Can we get out of here alive?" Yan Zidan whispered.

She couldn't describe what she saw, only she was suffering from the fear of being alone.

The elevator stopped, and the door slowly opened, revealing a dark corridor outside.

"The lights on the tenth floor are off. Let's be more careful, and there must be people watching from the front, back, left, and right," Lu Ning said.

Everyone turned on the flashlights of their mobile phones one after another, paying attention to the surrounding situation.Going out of the corridor to the right is 1003 and 1004. There is only the green light of the emergency exit in the corridor. Everything looks like a normal residential building, except for the red words on the wall and bloody handprints.

【No loud noise! 】

[No knocking on the door! 】

[Stop crying! 】

The red words were written brightly on the corridor. Everyone noticed and nodded to each other. When they came to the door of 1003, Lu Ning raised her hand and rang the doorbell, then took out her phone and picked out a song to play outside. stand up.

Soon, someone asked at the door, "Who is outside?"

Lu Ning shook her phone next to her face. The people in the room probably hesitated for a while, and finally opened the door.

Wang Zhongnan's face was pale, and he was even visibly thinner.After he opened the door, he didn't show any joy, but just got out of the way.

Everyone rushed in, and after Wang Zhongnan closed the door, Lu Ning asked, "Do you really dare to open the door directly?"

"I've had enough. It's best for you to be human. If you're a ghost, at least you look like a human. It doesn't matter whether you die or not..." Wang Zhongnan sneered and turned on the light.

"So you can turn on the lights? I saw that the lights on this floor were all off." Lu Ning said.

"I don't know, I'm just too lazy to drive." Wang Zhongnan walked over and lay down on the sofa, "You guys came here pretty fast, I thought it would take a week for you to collect my body."

"Why did you become like this after just over a day?" Lu Ning asked.

"This place will make people crazy." Wang Zhongnan raised the corners of his mouth, "You know? You have to keep an eye on the various words around you all the time, be careful not to violate them, be careful not to lose sight...I can't hold on, there are ghosts all around, You still have to follow some goddamn rules. Haha, what the hell..."

He picked up a soda can from the coffee table and took two sips into his mouth.

"Now I figured it out. The rules of bullshit. I've lived in fear until now, and I was eaten by ghosts a few days later. I'm afraid there will be no living people here long ago."

"Let me see, little brother." Duan Ye walked behind Wang Zhongnan, and suddenly stretched out his hands to grab the sides of his head. red line.

Wang Zhongnan trembled all over, and then fell down with a thud.

Duan Ye took the red thread and swung it twice, and even made a few laps of the windmill, as if this could knock the thing out.And the Taoist priest finally did something that made people feel reliable.

"Mr. Duan, what is that?" Zhou Shilan asked.

"Some filth that isn't even a ghost." Duan Ye flicked it like noodles, took out a lighter from his pocket, lit it from below the red line, and a blue flame burned up along the red line, and soon Burn it to ashes.

"So there is a reason why Wang Zhongnan became like this?" Chen Hang glanced at Wang Zhongnan who was snoring.

"It's mostly because of this, but what he himself said must be true. This place is really dangerous. I seem to remember it... Oh, it's really better to see it than to hear it." Duan Ye slapped his hands, "Everyone really ran here What a bad place!"

"You don't have to play tricks like this." Lu Ning said in a deep voice.

"This is the appearance of the Red Prison in the Underworld Prison in the human world!" Duan Ye pointed to the surroundings, "I just don't know why it has become like this."

However, everyone is not from the Daoist sect, so naturally they can't understand what he is talking about.Duan Ye shrugged, turned around and walked into the bathroom, Lu Ning followed suit and took a look.

There is already some rancid smell in the bathroom, not heavy.The blood in the bathtub was not cleaned up, and Wang Zhongnan probably didn't want to clean it either.Duan Ye walked around the bathroom, then tore off a few rolls of toilet paper, lit it with a lighter and threw it to the four corners. The same azure flame burned as before. It did not burn the flammable things, but burned them quietly. It went out after a while.

"How's it going?" Duan Ye asked with a smile.

"I know you're capable, but I want you to take this seriously. And seeing your actions at least reassures me...you're keeping us safe, right?"

"Hahaha, after all, it's the person I paid to protect, and I still have to do some things. Your name is Li Wenyue, right? I can see that you don't trust me very much, but... I don't care about these." Duan Ye reached out to touch his pocket again, and this time he took out a white pebble. He put the stone on the bathroom table, and compared it to the door.

"Is that all?"

"Hmph, do you know what the Red Prison is?"
