Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1948 Waiting for Miss Lin's Apartment

Generally speaking, normal people wouldn't take the initiative to walk into that dark little door in such a situation, would they?
Lin Sanjiu slowly took a step towards the door, thinking that she might not be considered a normal person.

Along with the darkness behind the door, there was a cool and heavy breath.The smell is indescribable, like wallpaper that has been soaked in water and then air-dried repeatedly, like wood soaked in vegetable oil fume, like rusty metal water pipes... If the smell has age, it is already very old.

It was only when Lin Sanjiu took another step towards the door that he realized that the corpse hanging on the door had disappeared at some point.

The observation ability she has always been proud of has been failing frequently since she entered the arsenal; whether it is Oliver, the McDonald's employee, or the fake Ren Nan, their appearance and disappearance seem to be directly affecting the people around them. Like the air in the air, there is no trace of it at all.

Was this door really a door a few minutes ago?
Lin Sanjiu stood at the doorway, staring at the utter darkness inside, trying to make out some shapes or sounds.Even the arsenal, which was exposed under the night, was so dim that people could not see clearly; almost all the light was cut off behind the door, leaving only darkness.She tried to probe out slowly with her consciousness, breaking through the sticky air that hadn't flowed for many years, and felt that there seemed to be a long corridor in front of her.

There are no switches on the left and right walls. I don't know how to turn on the lights when the members of the arsenal come in.

Similarly, no creatures appeared in [Consciousness Scanning].In fact, she was already mentally prepared for this, and her detection methods seemed to be useless here.

Lin Sanjiu took out a flashlight from the card library, and the bright white circle of light immediately shattered the fog-like darkness ahead; the light captured a scene from the retreating darkness, nailing its color and shape to the scene. in view.

It is indeed a hallway, and it looks like it has seen a lot of age.

In order to cover up the cracks that have appeared over the years, the old wall has been painted with countless layers of paint. The upper half is snow white and the lower half is bright green.On both sides of the corridor are thin wooden doors, which have faded and become dark red; some doors have dirty doormats, and some have a few pairs of shoes of different sizes. It looks like a cheap and ordinary apartment .

It can't be the dormitory of the arsenal, right?It is very different from the overall style of the arsenal.

At the other end of the corridor, there seemed to be a section of wooden stairs... Lin Sanjiu took a step forward, trying to stretch his gaze and the flashlight a little farther, to see more clearly.

She just took a step forward, but at this moment, her peripheral vision and Teacher Yi's soft warning suddenly made her realize that something was different at the same time—Lin Sanjiu Turning around suddenly, the flashlight swept back and hit the empty half-white and half-green wall beside him.

...the door is gone.

She turned around a few times with the flashlight, and there was only the same wall behind and beside her.

Not only is the door missing, but it seems...

"I seem to have a sense of instant vision," Lin Sanjiu murmured.She has always disliked the dead silence when she was alone, so even if it was just the voice of the consciousness in her mind, it would make her feel more at ease than silence. "I always feel that this scene is very familiar, I don't know why..."

Teacher Yi's response to her was not reassuring. "The door," she said in a low voice, "there was something on the corner of the door just now, which made people very concerned."

what?
Lin Sanjiu frowned, and carefully checked the scene Teacher Yi showed her.At that time, she was fully focused on the corridor behind the door, and she didn't pay much attention to the door itself, so even if she wanted the teacher to sit in front of her, the scene would inevitably be a little blurry for a while.

She could only vaguely see that there was indeed something on the upper right corner of the door, which seemed to be painted on, and it was a small square, no bigger than her fist.

The sense of sight seemed to permeate every corner of her consciousness; even this door, which she was sure she had never seen before, and probably would never see again, somehow made Lin Sanjiu feel a little familiar.

To be on the safe side, Lin Sanjiu did not act rashly.She stood at the same spot and fished it from her memory countless times, but it was like fishing with a fishing net with a hole in it. What she caught was nothing but nothing—because she had never seen the door with the small square painted on it before.

Lin Sanjiu turned around, put a [metal snare] on his right hand, and punched the wall behind him hard.

There is a way, even if you clearly feel that it won't work, you still have to go through the cutscenes and try it - relying on violence to break through is such a way.

"The puppeteer is a crow's mouth, right?" She withdrew her hand and shook it vigorously a few times, as if this could shake off the pain. "He said leftovers, and I ate a little biscuit that I don't know what the hell is. He said he smashed the wall, and now I can't break a wall. What the hell, this wall recovers faster than he cursed It's all fast."

Almost as soon as her hands left the wall, the deep pits and cracks that she smashed out with a bang just now were quickly re-sewed up. By the time the words "puppeteer" were finished, the wall was already intact.

"This is a bit like the characteristics of dungeons." Lin Sanjiu thought for a while, and felt that it would not be unimaginable for the arsenal to set up dungeons here as a means of defense.If it's really a copy, it seems that she has to go in - which also means that [Mother Weaving Clothes] is sold early, otherwise how about letting the thread lead it out?

In the constantly shaking circle of light, she walked quietly with every step, trying not to make any noise on the floor, and trying not to think about the increasingly heavy sense of sight.The reason was the same: she couldn't let the sound of her footsteps, and the cues of her own heart, drown out the sound from this tenement.

However, unexpectedly, as soon as she approached Room 101, there was a sudden sound of people rushing in the dark and dead corridor just now: Although it was still dim, there were faint flickering lights under the cracks of each door. Someone behind a door in the distance cleared his throat loudly, and then spit out; in Room 101, it seemed that someone was shuffling on the ground, and then there was a low, muffled "bang".

Lin Sanjiu leaned closer and heard indistinct curses behind the door.

"It hurts me," the voice complained. "What a broken place, the power goes out every three days... cheap things consume electricity so fucking fast."

It was dark under the door, and it looked like there wasn't much lighting in Room 101 compared to his neighbours.

From the moment she ate the cookie until now, the problems accumulated in Lin Sanjiu's heart have reached the point where there are too many lice and no worries about debts. In room 103, a voice scolding the child was heard - "What are you doing with wax oil? It's burning, it's time!"

The door of room 102 went dark for a while, and it seemed to be the light of a flashlight; the sound of a radio came from the apartment adjacent to it—there was an old-fashioned radio with batteries at home, which indicated that the owner might be an old man; Going further, 106 is the same as 102. Although there is light, there is silence behind the door.

Lin Sanjiu stopped.

She has been paying attention to the movement under the door of the apartment all the time, so she can see clearly: when she is about to approach 106, but has not yet approached 106, there is a black shadow under the door, which looks like Someone was standing close to the door.When she really walked to the door of 106, the black shadow flashed aside and disappeared from the light under the door.

Immediately afterwards, under the door of Room 108 in front, a black figure stepped into the light and stood right in the middle of the door. It looked...as if someone was standing tightly against the door.

Lin Sanjiu raised his eyes and flashlight, and landed on the door.The cat's eye's glass reflects light, and it shines in the flashlight.

It shouldn't be... How can the apartments communicate with each other?
Perhaps this is not the question she should be asking the most at this moment, because the black shadow coming and going may be just a coincidence, what should really be concerned is that the people behind the door are undoubtedly staring and listening to her whereabouts.

Lin Sanjiu did not rush to Room 108.She looked at the black shadow under the crack of the door, and a wave of consciousness quietly rushed to the door, wrapped around the doorknob, and turned it lightly.

The shadow under the door moved aside, and the door was opened by her smoothly.

"Is it Miss Lin?" There seemed to be a smile in the voice behind the door.

　Although it was posted late today, it went smoothly. I also saw the plot from 1942 to 1946 in the crystal ball and memorized it.I'm really sorry for worrying you before, and thank you for your concern...
