"What do you mean?" Xue Ru said.
"If I guessed right, the girl was facing the same situation as us three years ago. She also chose to jump off the building and died." I said expressionless.
"But even so, this is only the second floor." Xue Ru asked again.
"You are wrong. What you see and what you hear may be false." I looked at the surrounding walls pale.
"So we're completely out of our way." Xue Ru said in horror. The pretty face was now distorted by fear, and her body was shaking irregularly.
"Yes, there is no way." I shook my head and sat on the ground powerless. No way down, no way up. Even if the window is a dead end, waiting for us, will be doomed to die.
The sky is getting darker and darker. The whole teaching building, like a ghost prison, can devour us at any time. Xue Ru curled her body in my arms, and her eyes had become extremely scared.
And my heart has been desperate, but I am still trying to think, looking at Xue Ru in my arms. My heart is struggling. Am I destined to die here with Xue Ru?
If you think about it carefully, you may find something. I try to shake my head. I always feel that I have missed something. This matter is very important and can even determine whether we live or not.
But after careful consideration, I don't know what this method is. After all, I'm just a loser. My study is not good.
Faced with this desperate situation, I have nothing to do. My heart is full of remorse. If only I hadn't come here. Although there was still a curse in the class, it wasn't my turn. I am safe for the time being.
But in this never walk out of the stairs, my death is already predictable. I have already felt that the ghosts in the building are already stupid and restless. If we don't take any action, we will be dead.
"Think it over. There must be a way." I shook my head in vain, though my body was shaking with fear. But the brain is spinning fast.

But after thinking for ten minutes, I still couldn't think of any way. Xue Ru sat in my arms and looked at me helplessly. "Forget it, I can't walk anymore. It seems that we are going to die."
"Sorry." I looked at Xue Ru with pity. She was a petite girl who followed me through so many stairs. Naturally, she was tired and was about to lie down. Even I, a boy, feel a little out of strength.
"Wait, you said you were tired?" My eyes suddenly brightened, as if I had found something.
"Yes, I am so tired now." Xue Ru said helplessly.
"No, even so, it's not enough to get out of here." I suddenly shook my head and began to sigh. I know that time is running out. Death is pressing on step by step. If no action is taken, everything will be over.
"That's all I can do," I said, suddenly determined. Then in Xue Ru's gaping eyes, I kissed her face mercilessly. Her skin is soft and smooth. Kissing on it makes me feel very comfortable.
"What are you doing?" Xue Ru was shocked and gave me a hard slap. I saw the pain on my face but didn't hear it. Instead, I looked at Xue Ru coldly: "continue to hit me."
Xue Ru was scared by my actions. She could not help shrinking. Her voice was: "I know I hit you wrong, but you kissed me first."
"If you don't, I'll fight." Then I gave myself a few slaps. Xue Ru was scared silly by my actions. She didn't react until a few minutes later and pulled my arm.
"Bai Zhi, what are you doing?" Xue Ru asks with a crying voice.
"That's why I need to do this." I looked at Xue Ru coldly and said that I was forcing myself. I know I'm a loser and a loser.
If I don't find a way to unleash my potential, then I'm dead. My face is swollen and there is blood on the corners of my mouth. And my thinking, also unprecedented convergence. My brain is running fast.

Yes, it's hopeless.
If I don't find a way to make the last roar, I will be doomed.
"Come to think of it. You aren't a good student, you don't have a good family, and no girls like you. If you can't figure out a way, it's no use living. You might as well die here." I scolded myself while shouting madly.
And Xue Ru looked at me with dementia and stopped blocking. A look of consternation.
After my crazy behavior lasted for five minutes, I finally calmed down. There is no fear in my heart at the moment. But full of unspeakable excitement.
"I already know how to go out." I sneered. Then I took Xue Ru's hand. Started walking down the stairs. Now the sky is fading. Night is coming.
We didn't have much time. Holding her hand, I walked downstairs slowly. When I got to the middle of the stairs, I suddenly sneered, then grabbed Xue Ru's arm, turned around and walked back to the original road.
"What are you doing? Isn't it the same way back?" Xue Ru didn't understand.
"No, this is the real path of the stairs." I sneered and said.
"I originally thought that the stairs were used by ghosts to confuse us. It changed the floor signs. Later, I found that all this was false. Everything was false. What we saw and what we heard were all false." I suddenly whispered.
Then I continued; "Ghosts can shield our senses and confuse our vision and hearing. What we see and hear on the second floor is all fake."
"From the very beginning, I suspected that no matter how high-rise buildings in the world are, they can never get out. As long as the people inside keep walking down or up, they can reach the roof or downstairs. But whether we walk down or up, we are still on the second floor. There is no change."
"But even if I knew it, I couldn't help it at all. It wasn't until you suddenly said that you were tired that I came across something. It was only when I combined with the students who committed suicide three years ago that I finally knew the reason for everything."
"That's it," I paused, looked around in the dark, and roared, "we haven't come down the stairs at all. We've been going up and down the stairs on the fourth and fifth floors."
"This is the true face of this staircase. A staircase that can never be completed is because we are constantly going up and down the stairs. We are constantly cycling. The second floor we see forever is only the fifth floor. Even if we walk for 10000 years, we can't go out!"
"Ghosts block our perception. When we think we're going upstairs, we're actually going downstairs. When we think we're going downstairs, we're actually going upstairs. No matter how we go, we can't get out. Even if we want to jump. But we're on the fifth floor. Even if we jump, we're dead."
"But ghosts can shield our perception, but they can't shield our physical strength. Compared with going down stairs, it takes several times as much energy to go up stairs as it takes to go down stairs. A person can go down more than ten stairs in a row. But he can't go up more than ten stairs in a row. So if you want to know whether you are going up stairs or down stairs, you just need to be careful about the physical strength you need to go down stairs."
"This is the truth of everything. There is only one way to get through this staircase. That is to go the opposite way. Keep going upstairs and downstairs and find the only right path. Don't care about the surrounding environment. It's all fake." I finished coldly. Then he took Xue Ru along.
Second floor, or second floor, or second floor.
After walking three times in a row, it was still the second floor, but my face did not change. I pulled Xue Ru to continue walking. Soon the fourth one arrived. Now, the original second floor has disappeared, and the open gate is waiting for us.
