Chapter 11： Endless Stairs

Chapter 11 Endless Stairs

Luo Jun's heart dropped when he saw the first rule.

No movement allowed? Just one step at a time? When I escaped, I jumped half a floor in one step. Wasn't that a violation of the rules?

Could it be said that this darkness is the price for breaking the rules? What happens next? Is there any way to crack it?

With the last hope in mind, Luo Jun continued to read down. After reading the last rule, the remaining half of his heart felt cold...

To be precise, only the first six rules on this paper are the real rules, the standard typeface, and the tone of the official announcement.

The bottom two lines were added by someone's handwriting, and the font was very sloppy. It was obvious that the writer was not in a good mental state at the time.

Luo Jun didn’t know what happened to the writer at that time. The question he faced now was, are these two handwriting rules trustworthy?

That's all for the last one. At worst, I won't go to the underground level. But Article 7 is clearly in conflict with Article 4.

If the handwriting rule is correct, then rule 4 must not be followed. But in this case, what should we do if we encounter endless stairs?

In addition, if the fourth rule is judged to be false, then are the other printing rules true or false? The handwriting only points out that there is a problem with this one, but it does not mean that the others are fine. In this case, the entire rule is questionable, including the one in the room, and its authenticity cannot be guaranteed!

Luo Jun felt a little numb on his scalp.

?

Wait a minute, if the rules are not all right, then could it be that the first one I violated was also a false rule, and that I actually saved myself by jumping?

It feels unlikely...after all, that rule seems to be the most normal...

With mixed feelings in his heart and confused thoughts, Luo Jun finally shook his head and forced himself to cheer up.

No matter what, he is in the corridor now, he can't stop here, he can only keep walking.

And the sixth item on this paper also reminded him of a key issue.

This is a hotel, what should I do if I am locked out? Of course, ask the front desk for help. The rules in the room also reminded that the front desk existed, so he finally had his next goal, go to the first floor to find the front desk!

It's just about going down or up?

It is written in the rules that the stairs do not lead to the first floor, so you can only take the elevator... This is a bit counter-intuitive. After all, the stairs are responsible for the fire escape. If the stairs do not lead to the first floor, how will the guests evacuate in the event of an accident?

 Could it be that this is also a trap, specifically designed to trick people into taking the elevator? After all, in horror stories, elevators are the place where accidents are most common.

Luo Jun stared at these rules, his brain running rapidly.

Tianji dice can't help in this case. Tianji dice can help you determine the result, but it can't help you make a choice.

You can shoot an arrow and then ask the dice to see if it can hit the target. But you can't ask Tianji Dice whether you should shoot an arrow or where to shoot. Tianji Dice can't help you with this kind of thing.

Luo Jun gritted his teeth and finally made his own choice.

Turn back and go up!

It is currently impossible to judge which one is more credible, the printed rules or the handwritten rules, but the rules recognized by both parties have the highest credibility!

For example, don’t go to the basement level.

Why is it emphasized not to go to the underground level? The writer must have been there, or seen someone who has been to the underground level. So why would anyone go? Most likely, it was because the stairs did not lead to the first floor. Someone went all the way down the stairs, passed the first floor, and went directly to the underground floor, triggering terrible consequences!

Therefore, although there seems to be no relationship, Articles 6 and 8 are vaguely corroborating each other.

It is very dangerous to go down. It will be safer to go back the way you came.

Luo Jun followed the rules, step by step, and soon stepped onto the flat ground.

"Huh..." Luo Jun breathed a sigh of relief. When he went upstairs, he was always on tenterhooks, fearing that he would encounter the endless stairs mentioned in the rules. Now it seems that I finally returned to the third floor safely.

Luo Jun walked forward and then stopped. What we see in front of us is not the familiar corridor on the third floor, but a walking platform!

How can this be? He just walked up from the jogging platform on the second and a half floor. Why is it still a jogging platform?

Looking around in the dim light, there are stairs leading to a higher level.

Have you finally encountered the endless stairs?

Luo Jun swallowed, what should I do? Do you follow the fourth rule and go back thirteen steps, or do you follow the seventh rule?

But the key point is that the seventh rule only says that the fourth rule is wrong, but does not say what should be done specifically!

Hand on, the previous rules were posted on the wall of the jogging platform. Will there be new rules this time?

Thinking of this, Luo Jun walked forward and found a piece of paper. However, the content written on it was the same as before. Even the two handwritten rules below were exactly the same, and the handwriting matched perfectly.

Obviously, this is the previous tarmac, he is back again...

Luo Jun gritted his teeth and activated the secret dice.

The dice won’t make the choice for him, but he has made his choice now!

“Go back to the third floor!”

This is his current goal.

However, the Tianji dice did not start smoothly, indicating that the event was too complicated to determine.

It’s just going up the stairs, what’s so complicated?

Luo Jun complained in his heart, but he knew that the dice could say this, which meant that it was not easy to return to the third floor. There were too many variables, and it could not be solved by a few dice rolls.

Even the plug-ins don’t work, this is really a dead end...

Just when Luo Jun was at a loss what to do, suddenly, footsteps came from upstairs.

Something is coming!

Luo Jun looked upstairs and saw a strange creature walking out of the darkness.

This guy has a slender head, with only a big mouth full of sharp teeth on the bald head. On both sides of the head, where the shoulders can be considered, there are two eyeballs, one large and one small. The one is the size of a basketball, and the smaller one is comparable to an apple. The asymmetric eyeballs caused his body to tilt to one side, and he walked downstairs crookedly on two deformed legs.

Another monster!

Luo Jun’s heart was in his throat, his muscles all over his body were tense, and the Tianji Dice was ready to fight at any time.

But he did not take action casually, but obediently stepped aside and stood against the wall.

The monster walked crookedly in front of him, but did not forget to turn around and bow to him.

Looking at it this way, the third rule should be correct. The rules describe how to deal with encountering creatures in the stairs, and they are not limited to humans. All living things must follow this rule... It seems that the corridor is probably a peaceful zone.

Watching the monster go downstairs, Luo Jun suddenly frowned, then turned to look at the rules on the wall, and seemed to have discovered something.

After thinking for a moment, his eyes lit up: "I understand!"

Then, he concentrated on being ready to activate the secret dice at any time, and walked upstairs.
