The elevator came to a stop. 0
 
The doors slowly opened. 0
 
"Welcome to the Negative First Floor!" 0
 
Lu Zhao and I exchanged glances, both seeing despair reflected in each other's eyes. 0
 
At that moment, I noticed it was exactly twelve noon, the time when the sun's energy is at its peak. 0
 
Lu Zhao, however, was visibly shaken, her legs trembling beneath her. 0
 
A chilling gust of wind swept in from outside the elevator. 0
 
Both of us couldn't help but shiver. 0
 
Then we caught sight of the scene outside the elevator. 0
 
It was a morgue, with bodies and bloodstains scattered across the floor. 0
 
The air was thick with a nauseating stench. 0
 
There were six beds in total in the morgue, five of which were occupied by corpses. 0
 
All those bodies were covered with white sheets. 0
 
Only one bed remained empty. 0
 
Strangely enough, that bed was located in the upper right corner. 0
 
"Is this really the Negative First Floor?" 0
 
I couldn't help but ponder silently: "Could the escape route be right here?" 0
 
 
But how am I supposed to find a way out? 0
 
At that moment, I noticed that the corpse on the bed in the upper right corner was gone. 0
 
Lu Zhao panicked, "An Peng, I think I saw that corpse move!" 0
 
I was so frightened that my soul nearly left my body; I was about to turn and run. 0
 
Just then, I heard a sharp voice whisper in my ear, "There’s still a bed available here!" 0
 
Immediately, I saw Lu Zhao lying on the adjacent bed, covered with a white sheet as if playing dead. 0
 
With no other choice, I lay down as well. 0
 
As soon as I settled in, a wave of intense drowsiness washed over me. 0
 
Reluctantly, I covered myself with the blanket and drifted into a hazy sleep. 0
 
When I finally woke up, I found myself back in the original hospital room. 0
 
However, everything around me was turned upside down. 0
 
The ground was in the sky, and the sky was below. 0
 
I knew we had entered the Inverted World! 0
 
At that moment, the door to the ward opened, revealing the Female Nurse with her mouth sewn shut. 0
 
She came in, counted the number of people quickly, and then hurriedly left. 0
 
I sensed that something was very wrong in this world. 0
 
Perhaps those who appeared normal were no longer normal at all. 0
 
 
Lu Zhao paced anxiously in the room, "What are we going to do? Are we really going to be trapped here?" 0
 
I walked over to the window, gazing at everything outside, lost in thought. 0
 
Perhaps entering the Inverted World wasn't such a bad thing after all. 0
 
Maybe there would be a chance for escape there. 0
 
With that thought, I made up my mind. 0
 
At six-thirty in the evening, we tried the elevator again to reach the Negative First Floor. 0
 
However, this time the elevator only took us to the first floor; the Negative First Floor seemed to have vanished. 0
 
"How could this happen?" 0
 
Lu Zhao became frantic. "Does that mean we have no chance anymore?" 0
 
I pondered for a moment and replied, "Maybe the timing is wrong or the triggering conditions aren't met." 0
 
"What do you mean?" 0
 
Lu Zhao looked at me in confusion. "Did we trigger some condition last time?" 0
 
I thought back and said, "We entered the Negative First Floor at Midnight last time." 0
 
"So you're saying we can only access the Negative First Floor at Midnight?" 0
 
Lu Zhao nodded thoughtfully. "Then let's wait and see." 0
 
That night at eleven fifty-eight, we stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for the Negative First Floor. 0
 
As expected, the elevator began to shake violently once again. 0
 
 
I finally stopped at the Negative First Floor. 0
 
The Morgue was still very quiet, with only a few corpses lying peacefully on the beds. 0
 
I glanced at the time; it was exactly midnight. 0
 
This meant that as long as I arrived at the Negative First Floor right at midnight, I could enter the Inverted World. 0
 
This time, I had prepared a knife in advance, secretly hidden on my person. 0
 
At that moment, the voice reappeared: "There’s still one bed available here!" 0
 
I quickly turned around and stabbed forward with my knife. 0
 
With a squelch, green fluid splattered onto my clothes. 0
 
It was then that I realized it was a Human-Faced Spider. 0
 
It struggled for a moment before going limp. 0
 
However, this seemed to disrupt the balance of the Inverted World, and the world began to shatter like a broken mirror. 0
