Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 94 Ten Meters
Xia Shou followed the guidance of the dead line and walked into the lighthouse. After he entered the lighthouse, the red line under his feet did not disappear, but climbed all the way up the steps, like a red liquid flowing down the stairs from the top of the lighthouse.

In this EX-grade Lighthouse of Fear, the Self-Destruction Technique can still be used normally.

This is just as what the notes said, the priority of Seeking Death is indeed ridiculously high, so he can be more optimistic.

The spiral staircase made of poured concrete goes all the way up, and walking in the narrow corridor feels cold and damp.

Xia Shou walked up the stairs. Everything was normal, and nothing unusual happened, just like he was walking in an ordinary building. But when he walked around the fifth circle, Xia Shou felt that his footsteps had a heavy tone, as if someone was following him. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect.

Turning around, there was naturally no one there. The staircase was not dark, so there was no obstruction to the view.

But Xia Shou definitely heard footsteps very close to his own. He could not turn his head more than 60 degrees, which meant there was a blind spot behind him. Although this blind spot could be eliminated by leaning against the wall, it was inconvenient to turn his head. He had to use this method to observe the process behind him, which made Xia Shou feel uncomfortable.

Just as Edson said, it is absolutely safe in there. He has said this to everyone who enters there. As long as you believe this sentence without thinking, logically speaking, you can ignore all obstacles and walk all the way to the top of the lighthouse.

But the reality is that everyone lost in the end.

How did they lose?
Why, knowing that the lighthouse was absolutely safe, did they succumb to the illusion of fear in the end?
"Alice, I gradually understand that the emotion of fear is really pervasive." Xia Shou said to Alice.

The unknown is fear. Not knowing why those people failed has become a factor of fear.

However, Xia Shou's situation this time was different from the previous ones. The self-destructive move he initiated when he came in had clearly told him that this Lighthouse of Fear was not absolutely safe, but the place where it was easiest to lose one's life.

It was just a fluke, but it had broken the sense of security Ederson had built for him.

The lighthouse is not safe, and you could die at any moment this time.

But fortunately, I have a chance to start over. If I hadn’t gone back, I’m afraid my situation would be even worse now, Xia Shou thought silently in his heart.

When does the bleeding illusion occur?
How many meters am I now?

The altimeter does not display any numbers to the challenger, because something with its own information would become a factor of fear.

Xia Shou stepped onto a step, and suddenly, a thought came to his mind.

Wait...if the supernatural power doesn't work, then does the price Alice pay of not being able to turn around also become invalid?

Alice herself is a resentful spirit. Can she really follow me in here?
Alice is not as outrageous as seeking her own death. There have been times when her ability has not been effective, which shows that Alice's abnormality level is not high, maybe only one or two levels higher than his.

Therefore, Alice would definitely be suppressed by the extraordinary dispelling effect of the Fear Lighthouse. The existence of a ghost like Alice is itself a manifestation of the extraordinary. After entering the lighthouse, Alice should disappear temporarily.

So now, what exactly is following behind me?
Xia Shou frowned and a chill rose behind him.

He reached into his pocket, touched the mirror, and then turned the mirror behind him. The reflection in the mirror was still Alice in black and white maid clothes, with blood and tears flowing from the corners of her eyes, no different from usual.

But Xia Shou had no way of telling whether the other person was Alice or another dangerous creature that looked exactly like Alice.

……

Outside the lighthouse, what Xia Shou had just said to Alice was heard by all the observers.

"Is he talking to the possessed spirit that's strangling him?" Reed was confused.

"It shouldn't be. When Xia Shou went in just now, I saw the spirit behind him disappear temporarily. According to the practice of the Lighthouse of Fear, any spirit that follows, including demons, will be separated from the host for a short time and isolated in another space, so Xia Shou should be alone." Edson said. Reed: "But Xia Shou was indeed talking to the possessed spirit, so in Xia Shou's feeling, the possessed spirit was still beside him, and his neck was still being strangled. In other words, he has an illusion."

"What's the current altitude?" Edson turned to look at the observer.

"Only fifteen meters." replied the observer.

"The situation isn't optimistic. He'll be frightened when he notices a strange thing strangling his neck." Reed felt a chill just by imagining it. Besides that, he also felt a vague sense of excitement.

The current situation is like watching a scary variety show. The embarrassed and gaffe-prone looks of the challengers after being scared are the source of joy for the audience. Now Reed feels like he is watching a scary variety show.

Reed silently moved a stool over and sat down next to Edson: "Minister, when I went in, were you also listening from outside like this?"

"Well, isn't it exciting?"

"No wonder you come every time we have a test."

At this time, Xia Shou's voice came from the communicator again.

"You heard me talking to Alice just now, right? But now, the person following me... shouldn't be Alice, right?"

"He discovered it!" Several observers discussed excitedly in low voices.

There was silence in the communicator for a while, and then Xia Shou's voice came again: "Anyway, just treat it as an illusion. I'm going to keep going up."

"You're not scared? You're so calm."

……

Inside the lighthouse, Xia Shou continued walking. Although he appeared quite calm, he was not at peace in his heart.

Because this lighthouse is no longer what it used to be. It is just a realistic illusion. There is something more dangerous inside it, something that can kill him.

Alice behind him may just be an illusion created by the lighthouse, but she may also be connected to the mysterious deadly creature inside the lighthouse.

All of this is uncertain. The only certainty is that he is still alive, and the self-destructive rollback has not been triggered.

Xia Shou continued to move forward, climbing the stairs at a very fast speed. The height he climbed was far beyond the actual height of the lighthouse.

This is nothing to be afraid of. It is just a strange phenomenon that goes against common sense of physics. It is possible that the stairs inside the Lighthouse of Fear are infinite.

But...if I keep walking in there without getting any food or water, will I starve to death?
Also, how much time has passed now? Ten minutes, or twenty minutes?

Xia Shou took out his cell phone and checked the time. Fifteen minutes had passed since he entered the tower.

After climbing the stairs for fifteen minutes, Xia Shou felt a little tired.

Moreover, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the hand of "Alice" around his neck was slightly tightening.
