Chapter 276: Hospital (10)
In the new map, what awaited the actors was, of course, nothing warm or pleasant.
The elevator, after being restarted, still followed the operating logic that had been tampered with by the livestream team.
No matter which floor the actors selected inside the elevator, when it stopped, the floor display would always show “13th Floor.”
Upon reaching this level, the elevator lights would go out again and come to a suspended stop, forcing the actors to step out and enter the current floor.
Of course, as mentioned earlier, Hopkins Hospital did not actually have a 13th floor—so in reality, the actors were arriving on the 18th floor.
Since the hospital had only recently been put into use, everything above the 16th floor had not yet been officially opened. This gave the livestream team room to operate.
They had already altered all the floor signage on the 18th floor, changing the number “8” into “3,” and—following the corresponding plot of the urban legend about “the 13th floor you can never leave”—they rearranged the interior layout accordingly. Their goal was to create locations inside the 18th floor that would match elements of the story for anyone familiar with it.
In this way, once the actors stepped out of the elevator, the combination of the floor signs and the urban legend would easily mislead them into believing they had “entered the 13th floor described in the story.”
The livestream team had stationed an employee named Renier on the 18th floor in advance.
