Chapter 122

The light column of the flashlight shook slightly with the bumpy drop of the elevator, marking irregular spots on the ground.

Jiang Yuanrou approached, looked at his fingers along the light in Mo Yi's hand, and asked in confusion:

"What's wrong? Have you found something?"

Mo Yi spread his palm and showed it to Jiang Yuanrou. He saw a thin layer of silver-white powder covered with his fingertips. It felt smooth and weird, and a slight halo was flashing under the light.

He said, "These powders are stained on the rolled-in iron sheet, and I think they are scale powder."

Jiang Yuanrou was stunned for a moment, then approached and observed the powder like scales on his fingertips and asked:

"You mean...similar to the kind on butterflies and moths' wings?"

Mo Yi nodded, his face looked a little calm in the backlight. He patted off the scales on his fingers and stood up.

His eyes were still thoughtfully locked on the irregular holes that were poked open at the bottom of the elevator. The sharp edges flashed slightly under the light of the flashlight, which was the trace left by the scale powder.

From the beginning of this copy, the "butterfly" has been entangled like a ghost.

Whether it is the butterfly drawn in blood after the end of the illusion, or the scale powder on the butterfly wings that appear at the elevator break, the entire copy seems to be entangled with the little insect from beginning to end.

Mo Yi had an inexplicable premonition in his heart - they were about to touch the core of the entire copy.

The elevator, which was like an iron box, suddenly trembled twice, and then slowly stopped. Mo Yi looked up at the screen with a faint halo, and the numbers on it flashed with ominous blood light:-3.

This is where everything begins.

Mo Yi took a deep breath slowly, stared at the two tightly closed metal doors, watching it open a gap, and slowly spread it to both sides.

A faint smell of blood slowly came in from outside the open metal door, mixed with the smell of old and rotten dust, and came from the depths of the darkness. The cold and cold air in the corridor spread in the closed and warm elevator, making people clearly feel the drop in temperature.

The cold air penetrated the texture through the thin shirt, which made Mo Yi shiver slightly, and a layer of goose bumps appeared on his skin.

Jiang Yuanrou exchanged glances with him, then walked out of the elevator and walked towards the depths of the corridor.

It is far from being as empty as the first two corridors, but is filled with countless debris, presenting a messy and strange appearance.

The dark corridor showed countless blurred and undulating shadows under the light of the flashlight, and piled up in the corridor, obstructing the two of them from moving forward layer by layer.

It seems that everything is no different from before leaving.

Yellowed paper and documents were scattered on the dirty floor, and worn tables and chairs with missing arms and legs were lying in a mess in the corridor. Unknown graffiti was revealed on the walls illuminated by the shaking flashlights while walking. Dark brown blood was dried up on the mottled walls, outlining countless crazy scribbled writing and paintings.

The corridor was filled with indescribable strange smell, which seemed to be the smell of the hospital's disinfectant and the rich bloody smell. It was standing dead in the entire dark corridor, invading the human respiratory tract coldly.

The elevator door slowly closed behind the two of them, making a slight creaking of metal friction.

Mo Yi is more familiar with this layer, while Jiang Yuanrou wakes up directly on the second floor of the negative, so she basically knows nothing about the third floor of the negative.

He pursed his lips slightly, and shook the flashlight in his hand into the room beside him.

The flashing light illuminated the scene in the room next to the elevator. The bodies and messy objects inside were hidden in the deep shadows, showing some clues in the instant flash of lights.

It's no different from leaving.

Mo Yi turned his head and looked at Jiang Yuanrou who was standing beside him, and asked in a low voice:

“Where will we go next?”

This layer should be the deepest layer. According to the prompts in this copy, this layer should also be the surface of Edwin's consciousness. However, even so, they still did not leave Edwin's spiritual world.

In Mo Yi's impression, this time, there was no other elevator for them to take.

So how should they leave next?

Jiang Yuanrou turned her head and looked at Mo Yi. Her face seemed a little blurred in the pale afterglow of the flashlight. She smiled bitterly:

"Actually... I don't know either."

She took a deep breath and said slowly: "The exit should be on this floor, but... I really don't know where it is and what it looks like."

Mo Yi lowered his eyes slightly and nodded to show that he understood. He took out the map he had found on this floor from his backpack, then spread it out under the light of the flashlight, and then spoke:

"This is the map I found on this floor before, maybe we can find any clues."

Jiang Yuanrou nodded and looked at the piece of paper in his hand.

According to the depiction of this floor on this map, the third floor of the negative is actually much smaller than the other two floors. It is a straightforward corridor, with an elevator at one end and an employee room at the other end. On both sides of the corridor are several narrow wards.

Jiang Yuanrou pointed at the blackened room with her fingers and asked in a low voice:

"Do you know what's here?"

Mo Yi nodded and replied:

"Well, this is the place where mentally ill patients do healing experiments. It was the first time I entered the illusion."

Jiang Yuanrou murmured thoughtfully: "It sounds like a very important place."

Mo Yi nodded in agreement, folded the map back and stuffed it into his pocket, and then said, "Let's go and take a look, maybe you can find some new clues."

After the two of them said that, they walked towards the depths of the corridor one after another.

They carefully walked around the debris blocking their eyes on the ground and walked through the middle to prevent their movements from accidentally touching anything and making unplanned sounds.

The only light on above the corridor will illuminate a small area in front of you-

It also illuminated the half-dried dark red blood stains on the ground.

A strong smell of blood drifted into the nose, and the cold air penetrated into the lungs, causing a tingling feeling of coldness.

Mo Yi was slightly stunned, turned his head and exchanged an equally puzzled and uneasy look with Jiang Yuanrou.

This scene... seems familiar.

Mo Yi subconsciously pursed his lips, and his pale lips stretched straight into a straight curve. He took a deep breath, subconsciously speeded up his pace, and walked towards the darkness deep in the corridor-

The light of the flashlight shone into the darkness ahead with his pace.

A corpse was nailed high to the wall, looking like a nailed insect specimen, pressing tightly against the dirty wall in scattered light red blood on the wall, and a pool of semi-dried blood at the feet of the corpse.

It was a man whose neck was hanging softly as if it was broken, and his pale face was covered by shadows.

Mo Yi moved his steps to the side and changed an angle where he could see the man's face-

I saw a huge and weird smile on his face, his twisted lips were grinning at the ears, his eyes were covered with two blood-red gaps, staring at a point in the void without any sense.

Having had similar experiences before, Mo Yi was not as shocked this time as last time.

His eyebrows slowly gathered up, and his dark eyes slid down the terrible corpse, and his realistic gaze drifted over the man inch by inch, and then finally stopped on the ground.

Jiang Yuanrou glanced at the corpse, then turned her head to look at Mo Yi:

"Is this... the boss on this level?"

Mo Yi nodded, his pale lips pursed tighter, and his expression became a little depressed.

Jiang Yuanrou took a breath of cold air and said:

"Is it the one who killed them that Edwin was released on the negative layer? He turned out to be... so terrible?"

Mo Yi suddenly took a few steps forward, then squatted down without warning, and reached out to dip the blood on the ground.

He raised his head and looked at Jiang Yuanrou, with a pale and solemn look, and slowly shook his head:

"I don't think it's him."

Jiang Yuanrou was stunned.

Mo Yi lowered his head and stroked his fingertips slowly. The dark red blood stains between his fingers were stained by his movements. The sticky touch was transmitted into the brain along the nerve endings. He paused and then said:

"The blood of the corpse on the second layer of the negative layer can still flow, and this layer of blood has dried up."

Jiang Yuanrou was stunned, her eyes flashed slightly, and she took the conversation in a low voice and said, "So... the boss on the third floor was the first to be killed, and the woman on the second floor was killed after he died...?"

Mo Yi nodded with a heavy expression, stood up with his palms on his knees, turned his head to look at Jiang Yuanrou: "On this level, I seem to have encountered two bosses, but since I have been unsure whether the person who pushed me was an hallucination, I have never mentioned it."

Mo Yi paused, and continued in a slight silence:

"…It seems very likely that he is not my hallucination, but a real existence."

Jiang Yuanrou suddenly looked up, her bright light brown eyes staring at Mo Yi tightly, and said in disbelief:

"He has been following you..."

Mo Yi nodded with some difficulty, looked at the hanging corpse in a complicated way, and then said:

"And I suspect that on the negative floor, the one who puts you in a illusion, is not the locked Edwin, but the boss who follows me, who deceives you to open the sideline, not to let Edwin out..."

Jiang Yuanrou's face turned pale, her eyes were solemn and cold, and she took Mo Yi's unfinished voice:
Chapter completed!
