Prejudice Forbidden

Chapter 42 The Dark Stairway

I couldn't see the surrounding environment, and I always felt that the time passed very long. After an hour and a half by car, Tu Lin thought he had been sitting all night. He could clearly feel that the car gradually stopped, and he grabbed his arms and Shoulder.

He was turned left and right to an area, and Tu Lin was sensitively aware that the sound of the wind in his ears had disappeared, and the sound of footsteps carried a hollow echo, and the surrounding was abnormally quiet, and he could only hear his own subtle breathing.

This is a closed environment, but he couldn't tell what it looked like.

The gauze that blindfolded his eyes was actually not thick. In the sunlight just now, Tu Lin could still perceive the subtle light, but here, it was completely dark.

Tu Lin squatted down and touched the cold floor with his fingers. He touched left and right. The material of the floor was rough and hard. When he groped up, he could find a floor that was a little higher than the ground... It was the stairs.

At this time, Tu Lin probably guessed the content of this mission. He stretched his arms and touched to one side, and quickly touched the wall next to the stairs. It was hard and rough, the same material as the floor.

This is Xin Haixing's so-called test of patience?

Before coming, Tu Lin tried to guess the content of this mission. He guessed that Xin Haixing would definitely come up with various tricks to punish them. When he was blindfolded, he even thought about being sent to a desolate desert. Or a primeval forest full of beasts, but the result is unexpected, climbing stairs!

This can really test patience, but it's too boring.

Tu Lin walked up the steps step by step. He counted silently as he walked, and there was a turn every fourteen steps. The order was first to the left, then to the right, and the cycle repeated.

Tu Lin roughly simulated the scene at this time in his mind. This should be a circular building, and the stairs are designed to be turned around, and he can't estimate the exact number of floors.

There were no footsteps around them, it seemed that they were not in the same area.

There is no one around to talk, and the same thing keeps repeating. If it were someone else, he might have been bored crazy. Fortunately, Tu Lin is an exception. He is used to acting alone. It's not really difficult.

After about two hours of groping, Tu Lin stopped. He had already climbed nearly a hundred steps, his calves were sore and sore from fatigue, and the sweat on his forehead was falling straight to the ground. He held his knees and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. .

The dreary air around made Tu Lin agitated. He suddenly felt that it would be nice to have someone by his side at this time. At least he could talk to him and relieve boredom. It would be ridiculous to think about it. No matter how hard it was before, he never wanted someone so much as now. Beside, since Xin Zhengxi came, everything has changed.

Thinking that the end point was still a little far away, Tu Lin took a breath and began to try to distract his attention. He stopped counting the number of steps here, but began to recall.

From the time of the orphanage, he tried to put himself back to that year. He was extremely lonely. At that time, he had no friends because of his bad personality. At that time, Tu Lin hadn't learned to endure loneliness. He often yearned for the excitement. life and the outside world.

I still remember that there was an Alpha who was much taller than him in the orphanage, and he often bullied him. At that time, Tu Lin was short and thin, and he had to endure the bullying. At that time, he secretly swore that he would become stronger when he grew up. , Shut up all those who look down on themselves.

After that, Mo Chengkai appeared. He was a bright light in Tu Lin's childhood. At that time, before James appeared, Mo Chengkai was his only family member...

……

Memories flooded him, and before he knew it, Tu Lin walked a lot of steps. This time he didn't count them, but his body didn't feel tired. As expected, it was a good way to divert his attention.

Tu Lin touched the wall and continued to walk up. Where did he recall just now?Yes... After he was admitted to Duli University, his life was really boring. Except for some occasional tasks, he stayed alone most of the time.

It's ridiculous to say that time has passed, and he still has no friends. It seems that loneliness is the endorsement of his life. Tu Lin thought that he would spend his whole life with these two words.

Xin Zhengxi appeared, how to describe this person?Tu Lin couldn't find any appropriate words, and he didn't realize that when he thought of this Alpha, the corner of his mouth raised an arc.

He obviously hated this guy at first, just thinking of the word "Xin Haixing", he secretly swore that he would never have anything to do with Xin Zhengxi.

However, the development of things is always unexpected. Instead, they get closer and closer, and their relationship is so ambiguous that Tu Lin is in a daze.

To say that not long ago, when Tu Lin firmly denied his thoughts on this Alpha, now he has to admit that his thoughts are the so-called "like".

These two words are not worth mentioning to other people, but they are unprecedented things for Tu Lin.

He never dreamed that he would fall in love with an Alpha.

Thinking of this, there was a sound of slow footsteps behind him, and Tu Lin came back to his senses for a moment. Just as he stepped out of the last step of this turn, he turned around and pressed against the cold wall, holding his breath.

The footsteps sounded from far to near, approaching his position a little bit. It sounded like it should be a human voice, with light and heavy feet, and there was a little heavy breathing sound when listening carefully.

Tu Lin didn't speak. He realized that the other party walked in front of him, but he continued to move forward. It seemed that he was not a pseudo-ecological person.

"who are you?"

Tu Lin asked softly, and the man reacted in a panic, "Who? Who's talking..."

It seemed to be someone in the same class, but hearing this voice, he couldn't tell who it was.

Tu Lin said softly, "I'm Tu Lin."

"Ah..." The man breathed a sigh of relief, "So it's you, I'm..." He announced a name, which was an Alpha in Tu Lin's class.

Tu Lin was a little puzzled, he had walked so many steps by himself just now, without even noticing the sound of footsteps behind him, and according to his observation, the distance in the surrounding area was only five or six meters wide, where did this Alpha come from? of?

"Have you met anyone else?"

"I met the squad leader just now, but it's strange..." The other party paused, "Where did you all come from?"

This is exactly what Tu Lin wondered about. According to his observation, there is only one road here. If he followed the trend, he should have noticed the existence of other people. He always thought that they were moving in different spaces, but now it doesn't seem to be the case. Simple... wait, space...

Tu Lin suddenly thought of something, "Tell me, how many steps are there on the first floor, and what is the order of each turn?"

The other party answered quickly, "There are 15 knots on the first floor, the order is first right and then left!"

wrong!

Tu Lin's back shuddered. Their order was completely opposite, and the numbers didn't match. If the other party wasn't lying, it could only prove that there was not only one space in the stairs they existed, but even more...

"Are you sure you counted correctly?"

"That's right, 15 knots per floor, I've counted it many times."

The two were at a corner, Tu Lin should turn left logically, and Alpha on the opposite side turned right, but after Alpha finished the last step, he turned directly to the left.

After Tu Lin heard the footsteps, he couldn't help asking, "Shouldn't you turn to the right?"

"Yes, this is the right side."

Now Tu Lin was completely stunned, throwing out the probability that the other party didn't distinguish between left and right. He couldn't understand the current situation at all. After the other party left, he tried to walk in the opposite direction, but as expected, he bumped into a wall.

With doubts, Tu Lin continued to walk up. This time he deliberately recounted the steps. It was still the fourteenth step, and the order was still left first and then right.

After about half a day, Tu Lin finally met the second person.

The other party slapped the wall impatiently, "Who is this time?"

He could judge the other party's identity just by hearing the voice, Tu Lin didn't bother to pay attention to him, and continued to walk up, but the other party stood in front of him, and asked arrogantly again, "Who are you?"

"Step aside."

The other party immediately recognized Tu Lin's voice, "Ah, it's you."

Tu Lin secretly sighed in his heart, it is really unlucky to meet this guy every mission.

Ou Shijie lost the arrogance he had just now, and said angrily, "Why are you here?"

Tu Lin rolled his eyes through the gauze, "I still want to ask you, by the way, you just said you met someone else?"

"That's right." Ou Shijie said a few names, "I don't know where these damn things came from, but they all ran in front of me."

Tu Lin was stunned for a moment, "How many steps are there on the first floor, and what is the order of each turn?"

"21 knots, every turn is left, where did the sequence come from?"

21 knots is seven knots more than what I counted, and every time I turn left?

Tu Lin groped and patted the other party's arm, "You go first, I'll follow behind you."

Ou Shijie was a little baffled, but when he thought of Tu Lin following behind, he felt a little proud, "Then don't get lost."

This time, Tu Lin didn't count his own steps, but Ou Shijie's footsteps, one, two, three... As he walked towards the last section, there were indeed 21 sounds.

Then he was supposed to turn right, and the other side turned left. However, when Tu Linchao turned right, Ou Shijie also walked in this direction. Tu Lin asked, "Are you going right? This is the right."

Ou Shijie sneered, "You don't know the left and right, how about the left?"

wrong……

What went wrong?

Tu Lin shook his head, anxious for a while, he wished to tear off the gauze in front of him to see what happened, but he couldn't do that, in the dark, he could only rely on the information he got to imagine out of thin air.

But the more I think about it, the more confused my mind becomes. Section 14, Section 15, Section 21... left and right, right and left, left... Is there any rule?

When Ou Shijie heard the footsteps behind him disappear, he turned his head and called tentatively in the darkness, "Tu Lin, are you still there?"

Tu Lin paused, and he was sensitively aware that Ou Shijie's voice came from the left, but they were obviously standing on the right.
