Chapitre 27

There was nothing at all within reach.

I suddenly felt a chill and involuntarily let out a cry.

I had heard of this vast, desolate landscape from Luo Ding's account, but I had never heard anyone describe it before.

Being there is one thing, experiencing it firsthand is another. I was completely overwhelmed by the scene, so much so that when I turned around...

When I arrived, I noticed that my muscles were stiff.

I saw Xiao Guo still squatting in the corner. I forced myself to calm down, went inside, and called out loudly, "Xiao Guo, what's going on?"

What's going on? Where exactly are we?

Part Twelve: In Another Space

Xiao Guo raised her head: "I don't know, I really don't know."

I felt I couldn't linger here any longer, so I said, "Let's go back and talk about it!"

A deep sorrow appeared on Xiao Guo's face: "It's no use, I can't leave here!"

I was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean? Is someone guarding it?"

Xiao Guo shook his head again: "No, at first I was the only one there, then the administrator Chen Mao came, and then he left."

Then, Luoding came, and then you came.

I could tell his words were very confused and somewhat incoherent, so I immediately said, "Chen Mao can leave, why should we?"

Why not?

Xiao Guo stared at me intently: "Chen Mao disregarded everything and jumped off the balcony. I don't have that kind of courage!"

Upon hearing his statement, I couldn't help but shudder!

Chen Mao jumped off the balcony. Xiao Guo probably didn't know that Chen Mao ended up dying on the rooftop of that building.

The reason is that it fell from a great height!

Jumping from the balcony of this building would result in a fatal fall onto its rooftop, which is practically impossible.

thing.

However, this is indeed how Chen and Mao died!

For a moment, I didn't know what to say, I just looked at Xiao Guo.

After a long pause, I finally said, "Have you tried to leave? What happened if you went down the stairs?"

"

Xiao Guo murmured, "The stairs never end, until you can't climb anymore. I've tried it all, I've tried everything!"

At this point, his voice became shrill: "We are in another world!"

I paused for a moment, then walked over and placed a hand on his shoulder: "Xiao Guo, calm down. What do you mean by saying that?"

mean?"

Xiao Guo was breathing heavily, seemingly unsure of what he meant by those words. Yet he still...

However, he kept saying, "We are in another world!"

I didn't know how to calm Xiao Guo down. Just then, the door opened, and Luo Ding walked in like a ghost.

I said Luo Ding looked like a ghost when he walked in because I genuinely had that feeling; his face was pale, and his eyes were lifeless.

God, in His actions, makes almost no sound.

I glanced at Luo Ding, then asked Xiao Guo, "You made a phone call back once, what was that about?"

Xiao Guo stared at me, her lips trembling, and it took her a while to utter a sound: "Even I don't know how..."

What happened?!

I was a little angry: "You made the call, you should know what happened!"

Xiao Guo gave a bitter smile: "That was the umpteenth time I tried to leave. I ran down the stairs, straight down..."

I kept running down the stairs, even though there seemed to be no end to them. It was terrifying; the stairs just wouldn't end.

The stairs are like a nightmare!

He paused here, looked up at me.

I nodded in agreement. An endless staircase—that's something that only happens in nightmares.

In reality, such a thing would certainly be terrifying.

Xiao Guo continued, "I kept running downhill, and suddenly, I saw the management office on the second floor. I knew there was hope."

So I continued running downstairs. The management office was clearly on the second floor, but no matter how long I ran, it was still just stairs.

An endless staircase!

He paused here, involuntarily catching his breath, and stopped for a moment. Seeing him like this, I was afraid that urging him would...

This made his speech even more incoherent, so he remained silent.

Xiao Guo continued, "Later, I remembered there was a phone on the second floor. I didn't want to go out anymore; I just wanted to go back upstairs to make the call."

A phone call made me turn back uphill, and after running for what seemed like forever, I saw the management office again. I wanted to go in, but it felt like…

Something seemed to be blocking my way. I used all my strength to squeeze to the phone, made a call, and then...

That's right.

I stood there stunned for a long time. I had listened to that recording of Xiao Guo's phone call many times. He spoke in a very slow tone. At that time...

Several of us who study telephone recordings agree that it wasn't Xiao Guo speaking directly into the phone, but rather a pre-recorded message.

Once the sound is finished, it will be played back at a deliberately slow speed.

However, according to Xiao Guo now, it's not the case at all.

I asked, "Did you speak into the phone?"

Xiao Guo said, "Yes, I also heard my wife's voice, but her voice sounded very sharp and fast."

It sounded like a tape recorder playing at the wrong speed, like a duck quacking!

I couldn't help but take a deep breath: "But your voice sounds like a slowed-down recording."

"Speed up!"

Xiao Guo held her head in her hands and murmured, "Why is this happening? Why? Are we in another world?"

Xiao Guo mentioned "in another world" several times. Perhaps I'm a new guest, so I haven't heard that before.

I feel that, and I don't really understand why Xiao Guo keeps making such statements.

Just then, Luo Ding, who had been standing to the side like a ghost, motionless and silent, suddenly spoke up: "No."

In another world, or rather, in another space.

I was startled, and Xiao Guo also abruptly looked up at him. Judging from Xiao Guo's reaction, it was clear that this was also his first time.

Upon hearing Luo Ding's statement...

After that initial question, I immediately asked, "Mr. Luo, what do you mean by 'another space'?"

Luo Ding smiled wryly: "I don't know much about science, but Wang Zhiyi told me that it's another dimension."

I tried my best to calm myself down, because in that instant, I thought that between Luo Ding and Wang Zhiyi, there must be...

There are many secrets I don't know, and if I press them too hard, Luo Ding might not reveal them.

That Luo Ding guy, he was the one who started everything, and I've long suspected he has another secret.

If he had told me his secret earlier, none of this would have happened!

I looked at Luo Ding, thought for a moment, and then said, "Mr. Luo, the three of us are now in the same situation, are..."

Whether you're unlucky or manage to escape, your fate is the same. I think you shouldn't hide anything from us anymore!

Luo Ding smiled wryly, turned around, walked to the wall, and repeatedly banged his forehead against it, making a "thump-thump" sound.

sound.

Xiao Guo and I looked at each other, ignoring him. After a moment, he suddenly turned around and said, "Okay, I'll tell you."

"They still hurt me in the end, why shouldn't I say anything!"

Xiao Guo stood up, and we all looked at Luoding.

Luo Ding said, "I was the first person to have that kind of strange experience in an elevator. I later got into a car accident and escaped."

While at the hospital, I received a call from Wang Zhiyi.

I remained silent. Luo Ding had never mentioned these things before, although I already knew that he and Wang Zhiyi had been in contact.

.

Luo Ding added, "Wang Zhiyi asked me on the phone what I had told the police, and I said I had already told them about my experience."

He said that wasn't a problem, that people wouldn't believe what I'd been through, but he wanted to meet me after I was discharged from the hospital.

Then I met with him.

Xiao Guo and I remained silent.

Luo Ding paused for a moment, then said, "The moment he saw me, he gave me 100,000 yuan, only asking that I never mention this matter to anyone again."

I agreed to his offer immediately, since he said he wouldn't pursue the matter further. Later, the more I thought about it, the stranger it seemed; I felt that if he agreed so readily...

They gave me 100,000 yuan and told me not to say anything, saying they would definitely give me more, so I—”

I interrupted him, unable to resist the urge to mock him. I sneered, "I didn't realize you were so greedy."

people!"

Luo Ding gave a wry smile: "I asked him for money twice more, and he gave it to me both times. I even followed him to the outskirts of the city."

I visited his place a few times, and each time he gave me money.

Luo Ding continued, "I wanted to ask him for a large sum of money, promising not to bother him again. He said everything..."

The expenses were all paid by others; the amount was too large for him to decide. Then, he mentioned the work he was researching.
