Chapter 120

“Elevator game? What’s that?” Lin Chu asked curiously.

“If we can’t get rid of it by going to other cities, we might as well give it a try.”

“That’s right.” Lin Chu murmured, “Instead of being passively dragged to other strange worlds, we might as well take the initiative to go.”

Lu Yanli drove onto another highway, and with the weight of the truck, he crushed all the way through, successfully reaching another tunnel.

Before the toll station, there was no one there.

Lin Chu felt the speed of the car was obviously increasing. Without him saying anything, she had already tensed up and prepared herself.

After entering the tunnel, she clearly noticed the car’s speed slowing down. The green fluorescent light disappeared, and it was pitch black in front. The high beams couldn’t illuminate anything, so they could only drive by feeling.

Again, singing…

Soft, gentle singing, the lyrics were unclear, but the melody…

Lin Chu sat up straight instantly, “This song?”

“Don’t listen!” Lu Yanli accelerated.

Before, when he taught them to sing, he deliberately sang badly, so the impact wasn’t significant, at most affecting their emotions. But this song was completely different. Just listening to it, you could feel the deep despair within.

Lu Yanli was less affected, but even so, the hand holding the steering wheel wrapped in his sleeve couldn’t help but tighten.

Faster…

Where is the end?

His fingertips were tense to the point of turning white, veins bulging. Lin Chu covered her ears and moved away from him, afraid he would suddenly mutate.

Finally, the light of the tunnel entrance appeared. The truck rushed out—

A strange city.

That was the first thought both of them had.

Just now, it was the time tunnel of late night, but the new city was daytime, with strange people walking around.

A very quiet city, with bizarre high-rise buildings, and neon lights of various strange colors shining. There were also many strangely shaped aircraft in the air, making his truck look particularly old and dilapidated.

The city was quiet because the people coming and going were as quiet as robots. But… the city broadcast was still playing music.

“This is just like the sci-fi world in movies.” Looking at the products in the air that were obviously beyond the technological level of their world, Lin Chu complained.

Lu Yanli didn’t quite understand.

His world only had ghosts and no entertainment. The various films and novels he had read in his childhood about speculations on the future had long been thrown aside by him.

“Now, let’s find a tall building and try it.” Lu Yanli interrupted Lin Chu’s mutterings.

The fluorescent lights on their jackets were still on. Seeing that there was no danger for the time being, they carefully took them off, and then jumped out of the car and walked towards a tall building.

Elevator game…

Lu Yanli closed his eyes.

He hoped he wouldn’t return to that strange world with the illusion of his parents again.

They searched several buildings in a row before barely finding a building that didn’t require ID verification. The building was very dilapidated, the light tubes on the first floor were cracked, and the outside was covered with various exaggeratedly colored advertising slogans. The outside of the elevator was also chaotically painted with childlike doodles, and some things that resembled slogans.

“Now, let’s begin.”

Fortunately, this building still had an elevator, which looked like it could still be used. The two piled a lot of debris outside the building to block the door, so that no one would accidentally break in.

Then, they entered the elevator.

Last time, they were forced into another world.

This time, they were actively searching for it.

Lu Yanli pressed the button for the highest floor.

The elevator slowly ascended and reached the 20th floor. With a “ding,” the door opened.

Outside the door was a dim long corridor, with nothing there. Lu Yanli pressed the number 2 button, the elevator door closed, and it descended again.

Second floor, no abnormalities.

Nineteenth floor, no abnormalities.

Third floor, no abnormalities…

No matter which floor they opened, it was always an empty long corridor. The two didn’t go out, but quietly waited in the elevator. They didn’t know what kind of result they needed to wait for.

The elevator gradually stopped on the middle floors.

It’s starting to get cold…

Lu Yanli noticed that the temperature in the air was gradually decreasing. His intuition also told him that something strange was about to come.

Lin Chu felt the same way. In the past, she would have said something to ease the atmosphere. But now… the chilling feeling made her completely afraid to speak.

She realized that something… was approaching them!

When the elevator stopped on the ninth floor, that ominous premonition of danger reached its peak!

Almost the moment the elevator door opened, the two instantly lowered their heads, and then…

A figure, stood outside the door.

Neither of them looked at that figure. They both simply closed their eyes and leaned against the wall. But their bodies could still vaguely sense that the thing… had come in!

The temperature dropped to the lowest point in an instant, and the lights in the elevator flickered, making a slight crackling sound of electricity.

Lu Yanli leaned against the button area, reached out and groped, and pressed the number for the next floor.

The elevator slowly ascended.

However, this time, the elevator was obviously overwhelmed, making a slight creaking sound, and the metal friction sound on the four walls was grating on the ears.

“…Where…are you going?”

It was a completely unfamiliar woman’s voice, hoarse, low, and extremely close.

It was as if she was whispering this sentence in your ear.

Lu Yanli pretended not to hear it, and so did Lin Chu. The two closed their eyes and didn’t answer.

“Go…where?” The woman’s voice was intermittent. Her throat seemed to be broken, and the pronunciation of each word was like a rusty old water pipe squeezing out water.

“Go…go…”

Twelfth floor, arrived.

The woman didn’t go out, she was still talking.

Lu Yanli pressed the eighth floor button.

The elevator began to descend.

However, this time…

The time for the elevator to descend obviously became longer!

It looked like it wasn’t going to the eighth floor at all!

“Go…” the woman said intermittently.

If the two opened their eyes, they would find that she was still standing in the same place without moving. Only her neck was stretched, twisted, and extended to the center of the two, speaking softly.

The elevator was still falling, having already exceeded the eighth floor position.

It had already descended at least ten floors! Still hadn’t stopped!

Stop now!

It was already… completely beyond the scope of this building, not knowing where it was taking them.

“Accompany me…to…die?…”

That woman, stretched her neck to their ears, and finally said the last sentence.

In the next instant, the elevator stopped, and the door opened.

The two remained motionless, like statues. Neither of them went out, nor did they have any curiosity they shouldn’t have.

After a while, the elevator door closed.

Lu Yanli pressed the eighth floor.

The elevator ascended.

But they still didn’t open their eyes. They could feel that the woman was still there! She was watching them with the most malicious eyes in the world. Once they opened their eyes, this woman would take them to another world!

The elevator went up to the thirteenth floor and opened.

Unlike just now, a warm and humid breath rushed in.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of the woman’s high heels sounded… she walked out!

The two of them instantly relaxed halfway. After carefully listening to confirm that she had indeed left, they lowered their heads and tentatively… opened their eyes little by little.

Lin Chu was startled as soon as she opened her eyes.

On the ground, at her feet, rolled a head, and she was very familiar with the appearance of that head.

Chu Xiu?!

Why was it him?

That head was clearly in a state of death without being able to close its eyes, its bulging eyes meeting hers. Lin Chu froze in place for a moment, immediately closed her eyes, and after a while, she found that nothing happened, and opened them cautiously again.

Only then did she realize that it wasn’t just Chu Xiu’s head, but also… also Lu Yanli’s?

Lu Yanli was staring at the head that looked exactly like him, seeming to be thinking about something.

If this scene wasn’t so weird, she would have even wanted to take a picture of it.

“I’m not sure.” Lu Yanli said, “Is there any difference between being alive and dead?”

It looked like the time of death wasn’t long, probably within a day, and it hadn’t started to rot yet.

The cross-section was very smooth, as if it had been cut directly.

“Yes.”

“But now, his head has appeared here, and it doesn’t look fake.” Lu Yanli put down the two heads. “In other words, Lu Yanli and Chu Xiu in this world are dead.”

“This world?…” Lin Chu keenly noticed something.

The elevator door opened, and she subconsciously looked outside.

Lin Chu looked outside, then looked inside.

“So, there are multiple versions of you?”

“Maybe. Maybe there’s a world where Chu Xiu and I died in the elevator while playing the elevator game because we didn’t go out.” Lu Yanli analyzed the cause of death of another world’s version of himself with a blank expression.

“Okay.” This was originally Lu Yanli’s purpose.

He stood at the door for a while, confirmed that there was no danger, and walked out.

Lin Chu followed behind him, walking downstairs.

After they left, the elevator door still didn’t close.

They… had been searching for their heads.

In the corner of the elevator, a small, twisted red idol suddenly appeared in a place neither of them noticed.
