Li Lin took out the black admission notice and scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "I got a perfect score and was awarded the title of top student. The school will give me an award after I enroll.
That school looks very dangerous. I will definitely not go on September 1st."
Wen Xuecha also said with some distress, "Although I didn't receive one, the exam interface on my tablet reminded me that I have a make-up exam in seven days."
If I still don't participate after seven days, will I repeatedly receive invitations for make-up exams? Or will other situations occur?
It was unknown.
The matter of the admission notice was temporarily set aside.
Su Qingyu pointed at the metal plaque in the corridor and said, "There are words on it."
The three of them walked closer, and words were engraved on the metal plaque.
【To all residents, Bright Star Property Management Co., Ltd. is dedicated to providing high-quality property services to every user. Regardless of your purpose for leaving home and entering the corridor, please be sure to abide by the following rules to ensure your own safety. 】
Infinite Corridor Rules （On）
【1. This is an old residential community. The old-fashioned apartment buildings do not have elevators. Please use the safety exit when going downstairs. Remember, there is absolutely no elevator in this building. If you see an elevator, close your eyes, count to 10, and then open them. The hallucination will disappear. 】
【2. There are two safety exits, one on the east and one on the west. The east safety exit is under repair. Please use the west safety exit when leaving. （Do not enter the wrong safety exit, it is very dangerous. ）】
【3. There is a green sign above the safety exit. The passage can only go down, not up. 】
【4. Your neighbors are quite friendly. They will talk to you, and you can chat with them, but absolutely do not accept their invitations, nor should you be a guest in their homes. 】
【5. Recently, due to the renovation project of the old residential community, people wearing construction hats often appear on the floors. Do not panic, they will leave after completing their work. 】
【6. Each building has a total of seven floors, and two security guards are responsible for patrol work. Those wearing black uniforms and holding walkie-talkies are security guards. You can seek help from them if you have any problems. 】
【7. A sense of direction is very important. Please keep a clear head and use tools if necessary. 】
Li Lin's mouth trembled. He clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging on his forehead, and said almost angrily, "Damn it! I clearly ran out of that haunted house!
Why am I seeing these damned rules again!
When can I finally escape!"
Su Qingyu quickly noted down the rules on the plaque, "You should be grateful for the rules. The rules are our lifesaver."
Wen Xuecha silently recited the rules in her heart, then firmly memorized them.
Where they were was the vestibule of the residents' homes, a public space in front of three households' doors.
To the left was the safety exit, flickering with a green light.
A heavy fire door, a faint green light, and stairs leading down into the unknown.
Li Lin felt the corridor was gloomy and said, "Let's hurry and leave through the safety exit.
This Rule Horror is called the Infinite Corridor. Perhaps if we leave this building, we can escape this Rule Horror."
Su Qingyu observed the surrounding environment.
The doors of the three households were tightly shut, with doorplates hanging above them: "This is the Seventh Floor."
Wen Xuecha looked into the safety exit and said fearfully, "This safety exit also has stairs going up."
The safety exit Su Qingyu saw had no upward path.
She said to Wen Xuecha, "This is the Seventh Floor. Firmly hold onto your cognition, do not doubt it."
"Okay." Wen Xuecha lightly bit her tender pink lower lip and nodded.
Li Lin dared not act rashly, "The rules said the east safety exit is under repair, and we should use the west safety exit to leave.
Which way is east? Which way is west?"
Su Qingyu said, "Let's go and see what the situation is in the corridor first.
The rules only said the safety exit can only go down, not up.
It didn't say we can't go back the way we came between corridors.
We have only seen the Infinite Corridor Rule Horror （On） so far, and we still need to find the rules （Down）."
Li Lin and Wen Xuecha said in unison, "Okay."
The suspended corridor connected the residents on the east and west sides. The sides of the corridor were black iron railings with a sign that read: "Connecting Corridor Railing, Please Do Not Climb."
In the upper right corner of the sign, it read: Bright Star Property Management Service Co., Ltd.
Standing by the railing and looking out, there was another building.
Looking down, there was no end, no road in sight.
Looking up, there was no end, no sky in sight.
They only saw people on the opposite corridor on every floor, just like them.
Those people were pacing continuously in the corridor, like lost souls without a destination.
Li Lin pointed at the opposite building, "Look, are those people over there asking us for help?
He's even holding up an SOS sign.
Could it be that the so-called Infinite Corridor has no end at all?"
Wen Xuecha lightly hit Li Lin's chest with her small fist, "Don't shout. We haven't even started yet, how do you know we can't get out?
You have to have confidence in yourself. If you don't believe in yourself, then in the end, there will only be a dead end."
Li Lin shrunk his neck and stopped saying discouraging words.
The place they were just in was in front of households 701, 702, and 703.
After walking through the corridor, they reached households 704, 705, and 706.
The same pitch-black anti-theft doors, a symmetrical layout.
Su Qingyu's tribute card did not contain anything like a compass.
After all, who would burn a compass for their ancestors?
They would only worry about their ancestors not having enough money or a big enough house, who would worry about their ancestors getting lost in the underworld?
Su Qingyu opened her tablet and searched for compass software within it.
Fortunately, the tablet given by the strange Mom was not much different from an ordinary tablet.
Wen Xuecha leaned over, her eyes lit up, and she clasped her hands together in surprise, "Great, there's a compass!"
The compass first spun rapidly three times, then pointed in the direction of 701, 702, and 703 as west.
Li Lin saw a glimmer of hope, "Let's go down from the safety exit over there!
The rules said we can use tools. So the tools refer to the tablet computer!"
"Wait a moment."
Su Qingyu stopped the two who were eager to try.
In the windows of the opposite building, the reflection of sunlight could be seen.
The rules stated that this was an old residential community, and each building had only seven floors.
Therefore, the infinite floors they saw in the corridor were just hallucinations caused by "its" interference.
The time on the watch and the time on the tablet were the same, both 6 PM.
Combined with the sunlight they had just seen, Su Qingyu judged that the sun existed normally, but they could not see it directly by looking up, and could only determine the sun's position through the glass of the opposite building.
Using the watch, one could determine east, south, west, and north.
Halve the hour and point it towards the sun; 12 o'clock would then indicate north.
It is now 6 PM, which is 18:00. 18 divided by 2 equals 9. Point the 9 o'clock position towards the sun, and the direction indicated by the 12 o'clock position will be north.
"The compass is a misdirection. The direction of 704, 705, and 706 is the west side!"
Li Lin felt a chill down his spine, "You say the compass is a misdirection, then couldn't your watch also be a misdirection?"
