Cover the door handle with your palm and apply slight pressure.
The wooden door seemed to be integrated into this strange staircase building and remained motionless. Even if you pressed your head against the door, you could not hear any sound coming from behind the door.
It seems that Lu Li got rid of the "game time" at two o'clock in the afternoon.
His eyes moved away from the wooden door and fell below.
The blood-red color on the corridor walls became more intense, glowing with a restless blood light.
The prompts had changed and were no longer the ones Lu Li had seen before.
Broken hints are distributed everywhere on the wall. At first glance, they seem to be related, but when they try to be connected, there are only sentences of unclear meaning.
Silently scanning the entire wall extending downward, he took in the broken reminders and pieced them together like a puzzle...
[Knowledge is disgusting, but it is your friend, it will make you stronger, smarter, and easier to gain advantages]
[Food gives you novel sensory enjoyment, and it is also necessary for your survival, but eating without restraint will easily ruin your life. In any case, please eat until you are full before continuing]
Like the prompts on the previous time floor, these prompts become inexplicable warnings after being pieced together.
The two deciphered keywords were connected with the keywords obtained from the floor above, and were formed by Lu Li into a bigger clue: At noon, a boy resisted the temptation of laughter and the call of his playmates, reviewed his reading by himself, and then
I'm hungry for something to eat...
It sounds completely unrelated to the weird things Lu Li saw, but this is indeed what Lu Li is experiencing.
The weird staircase building was full of weirdness and there was no way to turn back. Lu Li could only go down along the staircase building until he reached the end of the building.
Or die on a certain time floor.
Lu Li gathered his thoughts and continued moving downward.
Da da da--
The weak cool breeze blowing up from nowhere under the deep steps is neither humid nor fishy.
Lu Li's messy black hair was blown up by the wind, and he thought about it. When will the next study time be? Two-thirty in the afternoon? Or three o'clock?
Or should we eat first?
clatter--
Descending to the 1430th floor, Lu Li waited quietly for a few seconds, but no strange events were triggered.
Then it’s the next level…
Lu Li continued walking towards the seemingly endless steps.
On the 1500th floor, Lu Li stopped walking.
Rustling——
At the corner of the downstairs at the end of the line of sight, a group of twisted limbs made chaotic moving sounds and rushed upward quickly!
They were slender, indescribable beings. They were two to three meters tall, but only one hand wide, with strange pale faces that seemed to be smiling but not smiling at the center of their squirming torsos. Every time they took a step upward, their slender bodies would move.
Swinging wildly from side to side, bumping into walls and companions, it seemed like he would fall down at any time.
They were crowded together, twisting their noodle-like bodies, and quickly approached Xiang Lu Li!
Indeed, as the prompt says, this group of "knowledge" is disgusting.
Despite this, they seemed to be there to help Lu Li, at least that's what they pieced together.
Of course, it is also possible to prompt errors, deliberately inducing Lu Li to ignore them at the moment - but there is no point in doing this with the staircase, it would have been fine if it had provided error information in the first place.
In the blink of an eye, this skin-numbing slender existence rushed to the 1500th floor, enveloping Lu Li airtightly in it.
Lu Li raised his arms, without using any of his powers, just to protect himself from the rain of smiling faces falling around him.
After Lu Li was caught off guard and kissed on the face by one of the monsters, he raised his arms to protect his head, silently resisting the scene.
If Lu Li is brought into the background setting, his behavior seems to be that of a boy who is perfunctorily dealing with his studies.
The face of the one who was lucky enough to kiss Lu Li's cheek changed. His eyes became narrow and long, his mouth curved, and his figure appeared with a smile, then gradually faded away. Then he was squeezed forward by the slender beings on the periphery.
The stormy closeness was blocked by Lu Li, and it seemed that Lu Li's face didn't need to be kissed to disappear. The faces of those slender beings that only touched Lu Li's arms changed. The eyes began to rise, and the mouths pulled down, and they seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
He turned into a mournful glare, and his figure also faded away.
Noticing this scene, Lu Li thought thoughtfully. He moved his arm slightly toward the middle, changing the range from protecting the entire head to only protecting the cheek.
In this way, although some slender beings accidentally kissed Lu Li's arm due to crowding, their faces disappeared, but more slender beings touched Lu Li's head, and their faces showed smiles and disappeared into the air.
A face that looked like a smile but not a smile hit Lu Li's head. The soft touch did not feel any pain. A smile appeared on its pale face and disappeared on the spot.
This is the last slender being.
There was silence around Lu Li.
When I lowered my arms, there was no disgusting drool on my body, and no unpleasant smell.
After checking his body to make sure there was nothing unusual, Lu Li went down again.
There was no incident on floor 1530. Lu Li ignored it and continued going down.
1600 jumped into view, and along with it appeared several tables on this platform where protective gear and weapons were placed.
"Eat...but in moderation."
Lu Li muttered to himself the prompt he got from the wall and arrived at the 1600th floor.
Long sword, broad sword, rapier, dagger, bolas.
Shield, heavy shield, helmet, arm guards, chain mail.
Brand new weapons are piled on the table. Perhaps these weapons and protective gear are the food in the prompt.
Lu Li picked up a short sword, kept quiet and paid attention to his surroundings.
After there was no change, he looked at the metal dagger.
The dagger is of moderate weight and the blade is quite sharp. Unlike the heavy ornaments, this is a real weapon.
Will you encounter enemies that need to be fought on the next floor...
Lu Li held the dagger in his hand and turned towards another table where armor was placed.
Just like with the dagger before, Lu Li picked up the round shield that could completely protect his arm, and tapped the shield with the dagger, and the knocking sound echoed.
His eyes moved away and fell on a medieval helmet next to him.
Small weapons and shields can be used in narrow stairs, and helmets and armor are equally important when retreating is impossible.
Lu Li stretched his palm towards the helmet. Suddenly, a large black tentacle wriggled out from the hole in the helmet, forcing Lu Li's palm back.
Seeing these tentacles swinging and slowly retracting into the helmet, Lu Li realized that he could no longer take them.
As Lu Li retracted his palm, the swarms of wriggling black tentacles like seaweed also retracted into his helmet.
No longer coveting the other weapons and armor on the table, Lu Li continued to move downwards with the dagger in his left hand and his dull right hand.
The details of the staircase construction were almost figured out by Lu Li.
It is now the 1400th floor. According to the unwritten rule that there must be supplies before a war, the 5pm represented by the 1700th floor may be a new trouble.
For example...parents who check their learning progress.
