Chapter 262 262. Melting

The elevator started running, and the two of them fell into silence.

"It is said that if you are trapped in an elevator now, you will generally not suffocate."

Qiao Mu suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

"What?"

The little witch didn't know why Qiao Mu wanted to talk about this topic.

"Because the air conditioner has vents, even if the fan is not running, there will be enough air for a period of time."

Qiao Mu explained reluctantly.

"Why do you say this suddenly?"

The little witch was still puzzled.

"Because I feel like we've stopped."

Qiao Mu pointed at the elevator floor indicator.

They stopped on the ninth floor underground.

Ding dong——

The elevator made an arrival sound, but it did say it was on the ninth floor underground.

"I don't know if the elevator is not directly accessible or there is something wrong. Anyway, let's go out and take a look first."

Qiao Mu used a flashlight to illuminate the dim corridor outside, but found nothing suspicious.

He stepped over and quickly slipped out of the elevator.

Qiao Mu used to watch horror movies, and there were classic elevator cutting scenes in them. Either a person was caught in the elevator and torn into two pieces alive, or the elevator opened but the car didn't arrive, and the person fell to his death on the elevator car. on top of the car without anyone noticing.

The little witch looked at Qiao Mu in confusion and walked out of the elevator.

Ebisu remained silent and followed the little miko. His expression was a little dazed, as if he had remembered something, but he still couldn't grasp the key point.

"Lumos!"

Qiao Mu shouted and shook the flashlight. I don't know if it was an illusion, but the light seemed to be brighter.

"Maybe after the accident, the elevator here was set up so that it doesn't go directly to the bottom floor."

Qiao Mu guessed. He searched around and found no stairs.

"No, there should be stairs."

Qiao Mu vaguely remembered that there were stairs on the first floor. He walked in that direction, and the little witch followed closely behind him, watching the shadows warily.

"Don't panic, as long as you don't panic, they can't hurt you."

Qiao Mu said.

"I-I'm not panicking."

The little witch defended herself, her voice trembling slightly.

"Look, if there is a monster hiding in the shadows and suddenly a ghostly face appears and scares you, if you are frightened by it, doesn't that mean you can see it? That's bad. Just stay calm. , it’s very safe.”

Qiao Mu added an explanation.

"I, of course I know, I'm just staying alert!"

The little miko protested.

"so."

Qiao Mu thought for a while and handed her the flashlight in his hand.

This is just like how people who know how to drive are prone to motion sickness when riding in other people's cars. The little witch's eyes are definitely attracted to the place illuminated by the flashlight, and the movement of the flashlight is done by Qiao Mu, which easily makes the little witch want to see Qiao Mu ignored the situation, which increased the unstable mood and made it easier to cause accidents and fear.

At this time, it is more reassuring to have one more person to rely on.

"?"

The little witch didn't understand what was going on in Qiao Mu's mind, but she still took the flashlight and illuminated the front. Suddenly she saw a figure on the wall near the ceiling in the area illuminated by the flashlight.

"."

The light of the flashlight stayed there, and the little witch saw clearly that it was a melted human being.

He was like a melted candle, his lower body soft and solidified, his back leaning against the ceiling, his hands open, as if he was nailed to it for trial.

The man's face was melted or something, and his facial features were completely unrecognizable. It was a mess, like dough that had been kneaded by a novice chef apprentice.

"Have you ever seen an animation? The human ancestor in it looks a bit like this."

Qiao Mu suddenly spoke.

The little witch was stunned and didn't know whether to answer the question or not.

"If you think about it carefully, you were not even born when this animation was broadcast. There is a generation gap."

Qiao Mu sighed.

At the same time, bright red text appeared in the field of vision.

[They tried to struggle to escape, but the destructive power swallowed up their lives in an instant. Jie Jie Jie, the source of power is under the abyss. Do you want to peek? 】

"Well."

Qiao Mu seemed to have gotten the answer. He continued to move forward, and the little witch could only keep up.

As we move forward, there are more and more corpses like this.

They were either stuck to the wall or sunk deep into the ground. They were hideous and strange, and looked particularly terrifying in this silent corridor.

Qiao Mu noticed that all the corpses melted near the depths of the corridor. They seemed to want to escape from there, but the spread of some kind of power made their lives freeze.

"What's further down the corridor?"

Qiao Mu muttered and asked Ebisu next to him.

"Did you remember anything?"

Ebisu shook his head and looked at the corpses. Although he didn't know the identities of these people, he always had a familiar feeling, as if he had seen them before.

Qiao Mu quickly saw the sign for the stairs.

The stairs leading to the lower level are at the end of the corridor and have a very weird design.

Those melted corpses also spread to the lower levels.

At this time, the little witch's flashlight turned and reflected a pile of corpses, but at the same time, Qiao Mu saw something different.

"Pause."

He motioned to the little miko to turn the flashlight back.

The two saw a corpse sitting at the corner of the stairs on the next floor.

It's an intact body.

He was wearing a white isolation suit, and his face could not be seen clearly from this angle, but judging from the shape of the clothes, he had not melted and was different from the clothes worn by others.

Qiao Mu waved his hand, and a flashlight appeared in his palm. He asked the little witch to keep her distance from him, and went downstairs alone to the person sitting against the wall with his legs spread out.

Lifting the flashlight, he saw that the face of the other party reflected in the transparent mask of the isolation suit was a Japanese man. His face had not melted like other corpses, and his appearance could be recognized.

After recalling it, Qiao Mu remembered that he was Nagasawa Ryui, a Class B investigator of Wajima Culture, and that he was marked missing in the file.

Now it seems that he was sent to investigate the situation, but he died in the research institute.

It can be deduced that these melted people are probably the researchers who were at the time of the accident twelve years ago.

Qiao Mu shined his flashlight on the body to see if there were any other clues.

[He holds a secret in his hands. Unfortunately, it has been sealed for too long and no one can know it anymore! 】

He looked at the corpse's hand and found a piece of paper held there.

Reaching out and taking out the piece of paper, Qiao Mu looked at it.

The word "Wajima" is written crookedly.

"Do you recognize it?"

Qiao Mu turned around and asked the little witch.

"Let me see"

The little witch took the piece of paper and looked at it with the light of a flashlight.

Soon, her expression turned serious.
