Immersive Horror Game - Chapter 3

Mo Shouchen searched for ‘elevator game’ on his phone, and what he found was terrifying! If what was said online was true, this game was incredibly scary!

This game has been rated as the most dangerous paranormal game by netizens, but the process itself wasn’t that complicated.

A netizen had wrote down the whole thing, and allegedly it came from their own experience. The post said to follow the following steps:

1. Find an elevator with at least ten floors.

2. Enter the elevator on the first floor, then take the elevator in the following order: fourth floor, second floor, sixth floor, second floor, tenth floor, fifth floor.

3. When the elevator reaches the fifth floor, a woman will enter. Do not look at her face, do not speak to her, and absolutely do not run out of the elevator, or something extremely terrible will happen. Remember! Remember!

4. Press the first floor button. The elevator will not descend but will ascend directly to the tenth floor. As soon as the elevator doors open, run out immediately. The woman in the elevator will ask, “Where are you going?” Do not answer her, and do not turn around. Immediately exit the elevator.

5. If the previous steps went smoothly, congratulations, you have successfully entered another world. Although it looks similar to your original world, believe me, you will not like it.

6. To return to your original world, you need to find the elevator you took to get here and operate it in the same order. When the elevator reaches the fifth floor, you will encounter the woman again. Don’t look at her or talk to her.

7. Press the first floor button. If the elevator descends normally, it means you are returning to your original world. When the elevator reaches the first floor, don’t stop; get out of the elevator immediately.

After reading the entire game process, Mo Shouchen glanced at the comments below. Most of them were criticising the poster for talking nonsense, and some even said they had really entered another world and saw the poster’s whole family having a celebratory dinner in their honor.

Anyway, they were all comments with no reference value.

Had Mo Shouchen seen this post before, he would have definitely criticised the poster like other netizens. But now that Liu Lei and Zou Qianqian were really in trouble, he had to take it seriously.

The poster said that after playing the elevator game you can enter another world, which explains why Liu Lei said he was hiding in the public restroom on the 10th floor but couldn’t be seen by him.

It was because the place he was in was not in the same space as this world!

What to do? How to save Liu Lei?

This matter was beyond Mo Shouchen’s capabilities, so his first thought was to call the police. But how should he tell the police?

Tell them that Liu Lei and Zou Qianqian played a supernatural game and were trapped in another world?

The police would surely arrest him on grounds of being mentally ill and presenting as an active harm to public harmony.

Ask Qin Xiaolan for help?

No, that wouldn’t work either. She was a pampered lady who enjoyed a spoiled life. She’d be lucky if she didn’t get in trouble the first minute, let alone be of any help.

Then…should he just leave it at that?

That was impossible too. Mo Shouchen and Liu Lei were childhood friends. Since his parents’ accident, Liu Lei’s family had taken great care of him and had been inviting him to their home for meals during holidays every year with open arms.

Without Liu Lei’s family, he wouldn’t have been able to recover from the grief of losing his loved ones. Even if it meant risking his life, he had to bring Liu Lei back from that other world.

It seemed he had no choice but to go to the other world alone to rescue Liu Lei.

Following the instructions in the post, Mo Shouchen took the elevator to the first floor. After the doors opened, he peeked outside.

Perhaps because it was late, the corridor was deserted. He returned to the elevator, took a deep breath, and pressed the button for the fourth floor…

The game begins!

The elevator slowly ascended. Mo Shouchen’s heart pounded with trepidation as if he weren’t riding an elevator but a hearse carrying him to his death.

Soon, the elevator reached the fourth floor. When the doors opened, the outside was completely empty and without a sound. It gave him the illusion that he was the only person left in this entire hotel.

Mo Shouchen tried to reassure himself that perhaps everyone was asleep since it was late into the night. However, the next few floors were the same, which, besides fear, also made him feel a pang of loneliness.

He regretted not calling Qin Xiaolan. Even if she couldn’t help much, having someone else for courage would have been helpful.

Finally, the elevator reached the tenth floor. The most crucial and terrifying step was yet to come. Mo Shouchen wiped the sweat from his hands on his pants and mentally bolstered his courage. He then pressed the button for the fifth floor.

10, 9, 8, 7, 6…

Mo Shouchen stared at the constantly changing numbers. He felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his neck. With each descent, the hand tightened, making it hard to breathe.

Ding!

The fifth floor arrived. The elevator doors slowly opened. Mo Shouchen involuntarily backed away, trying to get as far from the door as possible. Although his back was already pressed against the cold elevator body, he couldn’t help but push back harder, wishing he could become one with the elevator.

The elevator doors opened completely. The woman mentioned in the post didn’t appear outside. However, unlike the other floors, this floor was pitch black. Even the elevator lights couldn’t illuminate the outside. It was no different than floating in a void of darkness.

Mo Shouchen kept his head down and didn’t dare to look outside directly. He could only glance cautiously at the doorway out of the corner of his eye while praying in his heart for the door to close quickly.

Finally, the elevator doors began to close, but the woman mentioned in the post still hadn’t appeared.

Had he failed the game?

For some reason, besides regret, what Mo Shouchen felt was mostly relief. Although he felt sorry for Liu Lei, he couldn’t help but think about giving up!

As the elevator doors slowly closed, his gaze began to move upwards. He wanted to take one last closer look at the outside before the doors completely closed.

But just as the elevator doors were only a crack away from closing, a pale hand suddenly reached in from the darkness. It tightly gripped the elevator door that was about to close.

Mo Shouchen was so frightened by the scene before him that his legs went weak. If he hadn’t been holding onto the elevator handrail, he would have collapsed to the ground like a rag doll.

Because of that hand reaching in, the elevator doors slowly opened again, and then a woman wearing a white dress and red high heels stepped into the elevator.

Mo Shouchen lowered his head in fear. He had to admit, the legs beneath the dress were fair and shapely. In any other situation, he would have been curious about what a woman with such beautiful legs looked like.

But at this moment, he dared not look up because the words highlighted in bold red on the post shouted in his mind:

“Never look at her face!”
