《life after surviving a disaster》Decrypt

"Come down quickly. I'm afraid alone." Xue Ru's trembling voice sounded downstairs. I had no choice but to go downstairs and look at Xue Ru with a pale face, full of guilt.
"I'm sorry. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't come in with me." I have no choice but to say.
"That's not true. At first I asked to come here. I don't blame you." Although Xue Ru was pale, she still said seriously. This makes me feel more guilty.
But the urgent task is to find a way out. Looking at the building on the second floor forever, I kept thinking about how to find a way out in my mind.
I looked down the stairs and thought carefully. Soon I thought of a way. I said solemnly to Xue Ru, "if I guessed right, there is a ghost in the girls' dormitory. It has changed the pattern of the whole space and made us unable to find a way out."
"It makes all the floors exactly the same. It makes us think we have stepped into an infinite cycle of floors. But no matter how it changes, it will not change our real location."
"If you think about it, we walked three floors from the second floor, which means we have reached the fifth floor. But the display is still the second floor. If I guessed correctly, we were deceived by it. Our location is not the second floor at all, but the fifth floor. Then we walked down the third floor, which means we have actually reached the second floor."
"If we follow your reasoning, we can go out if we go one more layer." Xue Ru asked in surprise. Her thin body was shaking a little. It seemed that she could not support it.
"If I'm not mistaken, that's it." I said proudly that although the layout of this ghost looks very powerful, it is not perfect after all. The power of the ghost can not be strong enough to isolate the space. All it can do is disturb our vision. Let us form the illusion that we have entered an infinite cycle.
My inference is infallible, and I have absolute confidence in it. It's just a ghost beating the wall. Although ghost beating the wall looks terrible, it actually means that when you walk at night or in the suburbs, you can't distinguish the direction, your self perception is vague, and you don't know where to go. Finally, I walked a big circle and returned to the original point.

But this is a staircase, not a wide environment without reference objects. No matter how you go, you can't go around in circles. The so-called stairs have only two roads, up or down.
I took Xue Ru's hand and quickly walked downstairs. But after going downstairs, it was still the second floor. My face changed slightly, and I continued to walk down.
After walking five floors in a row, I was finally paralyzed on the ground, and my face was full of pale. In front of me is also the second floor. There is no change, even the scratches I carved are the same.
Facts have proved that my inference is wrong. This building has only five floors. We have already walked down so many floors. If we had followed the usual pattern, we would have finished it long ago.
But so far, what I have seen is still the endless second floor. Nothing has changed.
Xue Ru is tired and sits on the steps. Her face is full of ugliness. But she didn't blame me. She just held the cell phone silently.
"Yes, mobile phone." I suddenly remembered, hurried to pick up the phone, but found that there was no signal at all. I shook my head and sat down decadent.
"Is it really impossible to get out of this staircase?" I muttered to myself. I've tried it. I can't get out of it up and down. No matter how you go, all the floors are just the second floor.
Just like a sequence of infinite cycles, no matter how we go, we can't go any further. The whole girls' dormitory is like a curse. As long as you step inside, you can't get out.
"Let's move on. I'll find a way," I said, gnashing my teeth. Holding Xue Ru's hand, I walked downstairs. The steps flashed before my eyes when I came downstairs with Xue Ru.
My face is almost as white as paper. Yes, it is still on the second floor. Without any change, we were trapped in this stairway that we couldn't go out. We couldn't go out any more.
Xue Ru is already crying, and even my spirit is on the verge of collapse. The stairs that cannot be walked out are like a huge curse. We can't breathe.
"What to do, what to do." I said to myself in fear. My arms are shaking, and my whole body seems to be shaking. That feeling is really indescribable.

"This time we go up." I pulled Xue Ru and said that at this time she had no idea at all. She could only be held by me like a puppet. In one breath, I took Xue Ru to the seventh floor.
"Since I can't go down, I'll go up. I want to see how many floors this building has." I gnashed my teeth and said, just like a gambler who lost everything.
For seven consecutive floors, the environment is the same, and the walls are all the same scratches without any change. The whole staircase is like an infinite cycle. No matter how we go, we can't find a way out.
"This one won't work, so go to the other one over the corridor." I pointed to the other side of the corridor and shouted. Then I pulled Xue Ru to the stairs next to the corridor.
But it is still the same. There is no change. The upstairs is still the second floor, and the downstairs is still the second floor.
"You go this way, I go that way, and we go up at the same time." I said to Xue Ru that at this time I had planned to put all my eggs in one basket. And Xue Ru also cooperated with me. She nodded. We each came to a staircase, then looked at each other on the other side of the corridor, and began to walk up the stairs at the same time.
But the next scene shocked me deeply. Xue Ru and I still came to the second floor at the same time. Looking at Xue Ru on the other side of the corridor, I was paralyzed and sat down on the ground. His face was like ashes.
I have thought of all the ways I should think of. I have already used what I should use, but we still can't get out of the stairs.
"It's useless. Everything is useless." Xue Ru came to me and said that her body was exhausted and her face was full of sadness. I shook my head and sat beside her still thinking.
Now it's getting dark. If we don't go out, we'll be dead. In the dark, the power of the ghost will be infinitely enhanced. We'll both be dead.
How can I get out? All the channels, both upward and downward, have been blocked. No matter how we move forward, it makes no sense.
"You can't go up or down. Is there any other way?" I murmured nervously, while the nearby Xue Ru pulled my arm and murmured in fear.
It is getting dark and our situation is becoming more and more dangerous. If we don't find a way, we will be in a more dangerous situation than we are now.
"By the way, since we can't go up and down, we can't go down. Let's just be violent." I said suddenly. Then I was in Xue Ru's surprised eyes. Pick up the brick next to the windowsill and hit it directly.
With the glass breaking layer by layer, the whole window was directly smashed by me. After I screwed it several times, the whole window frame broke. After all, it is an old house. The glass and steel windows here have been aged.
"This is the second floor. It will be fine to jump down from here." I confidently said, stretching my head out of the window. Sure enough, in my sight, this is the second floor. The distance from the window below is only more than two meters. This distance is absolutely safe. Even if you jump, you'll be fine.
"This is too high," said Xue Ru.
"Don't mind at this time. I'll go down first, and then you jump down. I'll catch you." I smiled and said. Then i gently removed the window and threw it aside. i stepped on the window and get ready jump down.
But just then, I suddenly stopped. My eyes were flashing and my whole body was trembling. Then I jumped back from the window and my face became complicated.
"Why, why don't you jump?" Xue Ru looked at my movements and asked.
"If I jump, I'm dead." I suddenly said that my eyes were full of thoughts.
"It's impossible. You just said it's only the second floor." Xue Ru said.
"No, have you forgotten how that girl died three years ago?" I suddenly looked strange.
"It was suicide by jumping from a building." Xue Ru said.
"Yes, it was a jump, but not necessarily a suicide." I sneered.

A Generic Dungeon Core Story
When one falls… what happens? Do they just disappear into an endless abyss? Do they got to a final resting place to lay forever? Do they get to look down proudly upon the world from the clouds or look up in regret as they are burned and tortured? One man… person found out the hard way as he fell into a dark abyss after having surely died only to found himself awake again with most of his memories and knowledge blocked of as he was reincarnated into a 10ft cube as a small glowing sky blue orb…. This is my first actual foray to the world of webnovels as I’ve never wrote any stories before… *cough cough * edgy horny filled teenage fanfics do not count whatsoever *cough cough*. I am very new to the world of novels and I am not a native English speaker so expect a lot of grammar mistakes. The story will update on weekends on Saturday or whenever I feel like uploading as I do not have much free time and this is only a novel I write to improve my writing skills. What can you expect from the story? - Dungeons? Of course, this is the main theme of the story. - Multiple leads? Yes, there will be multiple perspectives from many different characters with at least 4 main characters. - Gamelit? The world is ruled by a system… that does absolutely nothing other than a way to view your stats and progression. - Murder hole? No, the lead character has a challenging yet fair view on how dungeons should operate, don’t get me wrong as he will still kill people if they are evil, careless or overestimate their abilities but don’t expect too much death as I feel that most adventurers would be smart enough to know their abilities especially when they have to do it themselves instead on relying on skills or the system. - Cultivation? No, the ability to gain power from sitting still and breathing never made any sense to me and it will be completely broken if the MC gets their hands on it so… no. - Non-human MC? Yes, they are a dungeon after all and yes, dungeons do get avatars but it is a specialized procedure that many choose not to do. Also, if the dungeon gets an avatar, no he will not be some wish giving demigod or whatever. - Magic? Yes, but it is very limited and down to the ground... from my notes... which means nothing - Art? Yes, I’m a hobbyist-artists so expect some art sketches here and there… I am poor so I do not have line art pens or tablets or adobe photoshop… also no scanners so… pictures of pencil-sketches it is, no coloring though since I am terrible at coloring. - Comedy? Yes, if you can call my bad attempts at humor comedy. - Likeable characters? Hopefully… especially since I accidentally made like... 60 characters … how I made 6 originals into 60?… I have no idea whatsoever… - Adventurers/invaders/delvers/etc…? Yes! My favorite part about dungeon core novels are when delvers delve into the dungeon and reading how they react, I will definitely flesh out the delvers and show how they operate more than usual hopefully. Hopefully you like the story, I will not have a patreon or paypal or whatever mostly because I’m under 18, thanks for at least reading this far and I hope that my writing is at least passable and you enjoy the story… if not then at least I got some writing practice in English.
