Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1310 Don't look at the ceiling

1305
Lin Sanjiu walked around the empty house without turning on the lights.This is a small apartment with one bedroom and one living room. It exudes a stuffy smell that has not been ventilated for a long time. The mattress in the bedroom is still new, hard to press, and wrapped in plastic film.

She sat on the sofa for a while, and felt that it was not as comfortable as the material used in Exodus, then stood up and went to the balcony to watch the night scene for a while, feeling that it was not as bright and gorgeous as the blue sky and the yellow spring.In modern society, even the night sky is heavy with smog, lifeless and breathless under industrial pollution.There was a machine on the balcony. She looked at it several times before realizing that it was a washing machine—compared with ten years ago, the appearance of the washing machine has changed so much.

Anyway, it's a place to stay.

She looked out from the kitchen, and just less than ten meters away, she was facing the kitchen of another house. A housewife was cooking in the smoke, her brows were furrowed, her brow was sweating, and she looked as if she was bitter and bitter.If you are not happy, why do you still do it?
Not far away, the housewife threw away the frying spoon, turned off the fire, and screamed at someone, "Stop playing games! Eat! Eat!"

Lin Sanjiu quietly exited the kitchen and returned to the empty living room.The housewife next door is very noisy, every sentence seems to hold back the energy to fight, but it is not noisy, and retweeted back and forth around the side of the fight: "playing games every day, not raising wages and spending money! Go home I don’t know how to help!” It became more and more empty in her dark room.

A series of bicycle bells sounded in the distance, someone upstairs spit loudly, someone's TV was playing a not-so-good theme song, and a washing machine was rumbling nearby—perhaps exactly like hers.

Lin Sanjiu sat blankly in the dark for a while.

An ordinary day of an ordinary person seems to be different from what she imagined, but she can't tell what is different.

She and countless people struggled, resisted, and fought in the torrent of doomsday... She had to grit her teeth to save her life. In modern society, she was in front of the TV, washing machine, and stove... Did it wear off slowly?Standing outside the human world and looking at the past in such a blink of an eye, my eyes are full of fireworks and trivialities, and I don't seem to be as stable and happy as I remember.

There are no fallen species, no hostile evolutionaries, no copies... She doesn't know what to do next.You can't turn on the light even if you sit in the dark... It would be great if the [Ability Polishing Agent] was still there.

Thinking of it, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but cheer up.

By the way, it was more than a week ago that she opened [eBay] to check her own buying advertisement. Maybe someone left a message for her?Even if there is no news about [Ability Polishing Agent] yet, it would be nice to see what other evolutionaries are selling and buying!Even if she didn't buy anything, at least she could get some news from the doomsday world.

She quickly called out [eBay], closed her eyes, and for the first time felt that the shopping interface in front of her was so friendly.Libao likes to use her [eBay] to buy things, even if it is a data body, it can't be changed, as if the things sold to him by others are more interesting than the ones written by oneself.He must be trying to find himself, so why not choose a small gift for him now, and make him happy when he finds it—maybe it can calm the child down a little bit.

There are still very few comments under Buy [Ability Polishing Agent], the same as a month ago.After a glance, she opened the list of items for sale; but she had read several pages, and the items for sale on each page were gray.

This means that all the items on [eBay] are too far away from her to deliver...?
Then try to contact someone else.

The only two users Lin Sanjiu knew on [eBay] were Gong Daoyi and the puppeteer, so it was self-evident who to contact.Looking at the user name "Bounce Jumping Little Sesame" at this time, she felt that her heart was filled with tenderness and joy—even the thin and thin face in her memory became much gentler and kinder, as if it was really her uncle. of.

"Where are you? I was teleported away."

……Failed to send.

Ok?
"Are you still in the lava world? Have you met Bohemia?"

Failed to send.

"Potato Potato, I'm Sweet Potato."

Failed to send.

Lin Sanjiu was a little dumbfounded, because such a situation had never happened before.Logically speaking, 【eBay】transmission of messages is not affected by distance; every message sent out is the resonance generated between two 【eBay】, and the message is sent to the owner.She randomly clicked on every item that could be clicked on the [eBay] page, but either it was blank after opening, or there was no response in the dark, as if the special item in her hand had been taken offline.

She opened her eyes, put the special item back into the card library, and suddenly felt an inexplicable panic—as if she was lost in a desert without anyone knowing that she was here, She couldn't find her way out either.But the panic only lasted for a short while, and it was sorted out by reason: Anyway, this is a world that has not yet ushered in the end. In this environment, there should be no special items, let alone Is it just out of order now?Probably only at the end of the day, [eBay] will return to normal, right?

She tried to think back, but couldn't remember if Ren Nan used any special items.Judging from her knowledge at that time, even if she used it, she might not be able to see it... But now that I think about it, the special items on Ren Nan's body are pitifully small. Great, right?
When Lin Sanjiu was in a trance, he heard a faint voice coming from the balcony in the distance—this house is located on the sixth floor, and it is impossible for anyone to hear the voices downstairs clearly; For those who are interested, the intermediary's voice couldn't be clearer: "Yes, it's on the sixth floor... Hey, a lower floor is better, so you don't have to wait for the elevator... Yes, the furniture is all new..."

The intermediary business is too busy, right?In less than an hour, there is another customer?

Lin Sanjiu quickly stood up and quietly closed the door.The door lock and handle were violently dismantled by her, and there was only a big hole in the original place, which could not be closed at all; she took out the [Power of Description] and muttered words for a while, and a new lock slowly "grew" in the door hole The head and the handle look almost eighty-tenths like before.

"Fortunately, you can still use it, let's fight."

She praised [the power of description].The fake door lock, of course, cannot be opened with a real key, but she has a countermeasure for it - when she heard footsteps in the corridor, she quickly stepped on the sofa and jumped onto the empty bookcase in the living room On the top floor, he climbed up flexibly with his hands and feet, hid himself in the corner of the ceiling, and then stuck the door handle with a touch of consciousness.

"I give you the power of consciousness, so you can use it to do things like chicken and dog robbery," Teacher Yi complained abruptly, and disappeared again.

"Huh?" The intermediary's voice sounded outside the door, "Why is this door lock... oh no, it's nothing, look, isn't it open?"

Of course it was opened, Lin Sanjiu thought.When she was pinching the intermediary to turn the key, she opened the door with her consciousness.

The intermediary flicked the light switch a few times, but the big light in the center of the living room just didn't turn on.It is definitely not bright, and Lin Sanjiu unscrewed it when she climbed up; otherwise, her limbs were stuck to the ceiling, hanging in the corner like a big spider, and she was afraid of scaring anyone who came by. die.

"It's okay, the landlord will fix it when the time comes." He explained to a young couple in an awkward manner, and took out his phone to light it up.

According to this method, no matter how many waves of visitors come to see the house, they will not be able to find Lin Sanjiu who is temporarily living here.It's just that this is not a long-term solution, she still has to think of a way to make a living, and get a foothold here first... Always wandering outside the society, maybe something will go wrong one day.After much deliberation, she no longer has any of the skills that would allow her to survive in modern society; or else she would go out at night to uphold justice, rob the rich and help the poor, as in the hero movies of the past—when it comes to poverty, She herself happens to be one of the "poor", isn't that a coincidence?

While she was in a daze, the couple had already finished looking at the house in a hurry.

"If you are satisfied with this community, we have another set..." The agent opened the door and said with a smile.When the couple went out, he was about to follow, when he suddenly looked down at the floor, wiped his feet back and forth as if they were rubbing mud, and then looked at the doorknob.

Hey, despite his ugly appearance, this guy is quite kind-hearted.

When Lin Sanjiu broke into the door, it was inevitable that the wood in the door panel would be broken; even though she had cleaned it in the dark just now, it was inevitable that some sawdust and the like would be scattered on the ground.In addition, even if the fake door lock pretends to be the real owner, it is still a little bit far from the real one...

"Both, you go down first, I suddenly remembered that the landlord told me something," the agent smiled and waved at the couple, "I'll go down as soon as possible, 5 minutes, 5 minutes!"

Lin Sanjiu hung in the corner of the ceiling, watched him close the door, raised his phone, and looked around the living room with his head down—maybe he didn’t know what he was looking for, and he went back to look at the door lock for a while from time to time, Tried the key several times, but it did not alleviate his doubts in the slightest.

"That's not right," he murmured, "Where did it come from... the light is still broken."

The intermediary straightened up and paused for a while.

Immediately, he raised his mobile phone and aimed the light at the headlight in the living room—the ceiling was instantly illuminated.Lin Sanjiu happened to be hiding in the blurred junction between light and darkness, and at this moment, he was just a dim figure in his peripheral vision, crouching on the ceiling.

Before turning his head, the intermediary gurgled twice in his throat, and his whole body was shaking.The light of the phone trembled slightly, and it moved to the corner bit by bit.Under the snow-white flashlight, Lin Sanjiu's specially thickly painted face floated up from the darkness, his bloodless lips grinned and smiled at him.
