Chapter 236 Thirteen Ribs

A large amount of water seepage marks and cracks often appear on the walls of the disrepaired corridor, which is even more mottled under the dim light of the headlights. The steps under your feet feel a little wet when you step on them, and your feet are slightly slippery.

Luo Feng and Luo Fuya walked up the stairs, turning their heads to look around from time to time. The narrow space where only footsteps were left will always bring people a sense of inexplicable fear.

"I heard that in two years, this old building will be demolished and rebuilt or abandoned, so we students are quite reluctant to leave it."

Luo Fuya, who was walking in front, suddenly spoke, probably to relieve the awkward atmosphere between the two. Luo Feng looked at his back and responded, but did not answer his words.

I heard from Tang Qiaojue that the entrance to the underground corpse warehouse of Tianyou Tower is on the back of Tianyou Tower, but if you want to find it, you need to go to the second floor first. There is no hurry for this matter. Now Luo Feng is more interested in Luo Fuya and the strange cat killing case.

Of course, it may be just a coincidence, but it is more likely that this incident is related to his trial incident.

So Luo Feng was considering how to deal with this if Luo Fuya suddenly attacked later.

"Speaking of it, classmate, you just said you are here to find someone, so you can help me clean it and not delay your business, right?" Luo Fuya, who was carrying the bucket, looked back.

Luo Feng quietly held the wooden pole of the mop and smiled casually at him, "It's okay. Let's finish cleaning and leave quickly."

"Aren't you still interested in what I said just now?" Luo Fuya smiled and continued to lead the way up.

Luo Feng stood below him and stared at his back, narrowed his eyes and said, "It was only when he entered the place that he felt gloomy. And after he came in, didn't we hear any strange movements?"

"I don't know much about this. When I heard the sound two days ago, it seemed that it was past the late cultivation time." Luo Fuya murmured in confusion, "Anyway, it's okay. I just realized that this place is really creepy."

Having said this, he remembered something again and said to Luo Feng with great interest, "By the way, when it comes to the underground warehouse of our building, there was a very cliché legend before."

"legend?"

"Well. Have you heard of the ghost stories of the thirteen-level steps?"

Luo Feng took a moment to recall and soon remembered what the ghost story Luo Fuya was referring to.

Legend has it that there is a teaching building. During the day, the stairs only have twelve steps, and at night there will be one more step. If someone sees this step and steps on it, he will fall to death the next day.

As a ghost story that doesn't even have specific directions, Luo Fuya's evaluation is correct. At least Luo Feng has indeed heard many similar stories since he was a child.

"The building we are in now has only twelve steps!"

After Luo Feng answered, Luo Fuya's tone showed a strange excitement.

"In our building, there were also rumors about the thirteenth level before!"

After hearing what he said, Luo Feng subconsciously counted the steps under his feet. Sure enough, there were no more or less, just about twelve levels.

"According to this, has Tianyoulou ever fallen and died of someone before?" Luo Feng asked thoughtfully.

Luo Fuya, who was walking on top, shook his head with his back to him, and his tone became mysterious, "No. The rumors about our building are different from the popular version."

Luo Feng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are the difference?"

Luo Fuya smiled and said, "Aren't we a medical school? So the legend of this building is also linked to medical common sense."

"Medical knowledge?"

"This matter is related to our human ribs. Normally, there are twelve pairs of ribs in the human body, two pairs of floating ribs and ten other pairs of true and false ribs. But if we look at the evolutionary history of humans, before becoming an upright animal, there should be thirteen pairs of ribs in the body. This can also be proved by studying apes. The reason why humans do not have the thirteenth pair of ribs now is because when walking upright, the thirteenth ribs in the body will cause serious damage to our internal organs. So sometimes I think that this may also be one of the signs that humans completely escape from the ranks of beasts... Then the point comes. The above-ground building of this building is ten floors, and the three underground floors are exactly thirteen floors, so in the rumors in our courtyard, if someone can find the thirteenth step at night, he can enter the underground corpse warehouse of this building!"

Luo Feng was stunned when he heard this, not quite understanding Luo Fuya's meaning.

"Isn't the entrance to the underground corpse warehouse on the first floor?"

"Who told you that the entrance is on the first floor? A few years ago, the entrance to the underground corpse warehouse was blocked by cement. Now there are no living people underneath!"

Luo Feng couldn't help but frown, "Impossible. I heard my friend say in the morning that the place was just abandoned, and the entrance was still there."

"Your friend has never entered there. Do you know how this legend came about? It's because many students have disappeared in this building!"

Luo Feng instinctively thought Luo Fuya's words were strange. It was not only a matter of factual conflict, but also a logical loophole in this person's words.

If the school had really disappeared from many students in the same place, this matter would have been a long time ago. How could it be that Luo Feng had never heard of any rumors? Moreover, there were cameras near Tianyou Tower, so it was unlikely to say that a living person was missing inside.

After thinking about it, he simply asked Luo Fuya, "According to your logic, my friend has never been to the underground corpse warehouse. Could it be that you have been to it?"

"yes!"

A relaxed answer came into his ears. Before Luo Feng could react for a while, he stopped suddenly and looked up.

The back that was originally walking above him slowly turned his head, but he closed his eyes strangely. His ordinary face turned pale under the light, and the smile on the corners of his mouth seemed particularly ferocious.

"I've been in that place, so I'm trapped here... The twelve pairs of ribs are perfect structures, and the thirteenth pair is the defect! Only by entering that underground corpse warehouse and finding the vacant thirteenth floor can you escape! What? Do you want to stay too?"

Luo Feng took a deep breath and forced the emotions that surged in his heart. He had just thrown away the mop in his hand and was about to pull out the fox ghost knife. Suddenly, he saw Luo Fuya, who was standing above the stairs with his eyes closed, turned around and ran upstairs without any warning!

He was stunned when he saw the tent, and then he reacted and hurriedly followed. As soon as he ran to the corner of the corridor, he was empty and unseen!

He even looked up through the gaps in the stairwell. The dim light seemed to illuminate the stairs on every floor, but his breathing was quietly left in his ears.
