Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1954 Luosheng Apartment Door

The Polaroid photo illuminated by the flashlight is probably the clearest and most detailed photo Lin Sanjiu has ever seen in his life.

It doesn't look like a photo, but it looks like the reality directly seen through a small window: No matter how close you are or how carefully you look at it, Lin Sanjiu can't see any tiny color pixels; Taking the wall as an example, she can even look down and see the texture of the high metal wall, tiny cracks, and a few splashes of mayonnaise...

She moved the photo a little farther away.

That's right, the photo is where she landed after jumping off the high wall of the arsenal; Oliver came out of this shadow, and the bag of McDonald's that she knocked into the air scattered all over the place.

"I just took a picture," said the male voice behind door 102 softly. "Does this prove that my home is an export?"

It really couldn't have been prepared ahead of time...at least not 10 minutes ago, before McDonald's: paper bags torn in half, chicken patties stained with dust, here and there The shredded lettuce... was exactly the same as what Lin Sanjiu remembered before entering the dungeon.

"Because of Ren Nan," Teacher Yi said, "At that time, my consciousness didn't record the scene where McDonald's was, so I didn't compare it. It's just that I looked at it and thought it was exactly the same..."

Lin Sanjiu put the photo into his trouser pocket, feeling hopeful and anxious at the same time.

"I see," she said hoarsely.

No matter how attractive the photo looks, or whether she's running out of time, she can't make a hasty decision until she has all the information.

Lin Sanjiu waited for a few seconds. Seeing that the adult boys and children behind the 102 door seemed to have nothing to say, she turned around and left without wasting any more time—she pretended not to hear the rustling behind the middle-aged housewife's house and the old man's house. , Attracted by her footsteps behind the door, they stopped in front of Room 105.

"Is it a part-time job?"

Her knock on the door caused a young woman behind the door to ask.

Lin Sanjiu hesitated for a moment, and when he didn't know what to answer, he only heard the other party say again: "I can't leave now, and I can't open the door for you. The door is unlocked, just come in!"

After opening the door, she can scan the room to see if it might be an exit, right?

She held the doorknob and turned it half a circle, but Lin Sanjiu suddenly stopped.

"You said you couldn't walk away... Then if I open the door now, does it count as 'helping' you to open the door?"

There was silence behind the door.

Thinking about it with common sense, "opening the door" must be something that residents usually have to do every day, but—Lin Sanjiu just thought of this, only one door away, the female voice seemed to be close to the cat's eye, slowly Said: "...It seems that you won't open the door for me?"

Lin Sanjiu's hand quickly retracted as if it had been scalded.

The male college student had warned her that "doing things for the household" would be dangerous.Although this point itself may be a lie-not only is there no danger in helping the residents, it may even be an opportunity-but until she is really sure, she dare not take this risk.

"You are not an hourly worker, why are you knocking on my door?" asked a female voice behind the door.

"I..." Lin Sanjiu opened her mouth, thinking that she couldn't verify where the exit was, so she said, "I'm looking for an agency. Do you know which room is the agency?"

"I know," said the woman behind the door very straightforwardly, "Both 106 and 107."

...the answer came really fast.

Before she could respond, the woman behind the 105th door said: "You are lucky, those two are reputable intermediaries, just to be honest, I usually go to them for anything. Nothing else Right? I still have something to do."

Hearing the sound of footsteps walking away from the door, Lin Sanjiu thought about it, and went to the door of Room 106 first.

The man who opened the door was wearing a shirt and paired with a pair of jeans. It is not easy to judge his identity from the clothes; but when the door was just exposed, Lin Sanjiu immediately threw the question straight out: "Are you an intermediary?" ?”

"Me?" The man was taken aback for a moment, as if he was very reluctant, and he stopped pulling the door anymore. After two seconds, he said through the crack of the door: "No, I'm not."

Lin Sanjiu almost couldn't hold back her smile; in this seemingly chaotic and contradictory dungeon, she finally caught a little thread.

"That's all right," she said, turning and walking away.

"Hey, wait, I heard you were looking for the exit," the man behind the door shouted anxiously, "You are looking for the wrong one, the exit is not in the apartment..."

She didn't even make sense of it.

On the premise that "the residents' words are true and false" is a fact, that is to say, the woman in room 105 gave two information points: "106 and 107 are both intermediaries", "106 and 107 are both intermediaries who only tell the truth" , it must be one true and one false - but they both contain the information of "the two are intermediaries", then 106 and 107 must both be intermediaries.

In this way, she also knew: "106 and 107 are intermediaries who only tell the truth" This information point is false.

Will 107 tell the truth?
Lin Sanjiu succeeded in one trick, and wanted to try again, but this time she knocked on the door a few times and asked the other party "Are you an agent?" A rather impatient voice came from room 107: "I Don’t you know if it’s an intermediary? If you don’t think so, why are you looking for me?”

...Well, it seems that the replica creature will also adapt to the development of the situation; otherwise, the intermediary's attitude would be too offensive.

"Well, you are an intermediary." Lin Sanjiu said without embarrassment.

"You can come in and talk," said the person inside, "this is not dangerous. But if it is a room without an intermediary, you must never go in... After all, intermediaries are registered and supervised, and they will not Harm you, you can come out after you come in."

Is this tricking her into the room?

Lin Sanjiu had already become a frightened bird, and his first reaction was to take a step back.She would never take the initiative to go in, and asked hesitantly, "How do I know that what you said is true?"

The person behind the door snorted and said, "I'm only telling the truth."

Although he sounds credible, based on these two sentences alone, it is difficult for Lin Sanjiu to judge that the two information points of "there are two types of intermediaries" and "107 intermediaries only tell the truth" are true-intermediaries can be like Like the residents, there are truths and falsehoods in what they say, and there may even be no rules to follow at all-but before she waited to ask, the person inside the door became annoyed again: "There is no cooperation without trust. If you don't trust me, forget it. If you want to find an intermediary, go to 202, let's go!"

After the voice fell, no matter how much Lin Sanjiu knocked on the door, he never got any response.

108 was originally where Xiao Xu, the agent, was located; 109 was in the process of renovation, and the inside was empty, without an agent, so Lin Sanjiu naturally wouldn't venture in.Seeing that she spent another four or five minutes, but only a little progress, it was impossible not to be anxious; when she knocked on the door of Room 5, she had to suppress her emotions and ask, "Are you an intermediary?"

"Yes," the woman who opened the door answered blankly in a suit skirt.

No matter what she said, her head was a mess now anyway, and she couldn't even analyze a fart.

"Who introduced you?" the female intermediary asked flatly, "Want to come in and take a look?"

Lin Sanjiu quickly shook his head. "It's 107..."

"Oh, him." The female agent said calmly, "He is a highly reputable agent like me. Why don't you come in to see the house? If you are looking for a house, I advise you to be a person like us who tells the truth Cooperation. There are two other agencies on the second floor, I don't know how their reputation is, such as the one in 207. So you should feel more at ease when you come to me—"

Lin Sanjiu interrupted her promotion. "I'm not looking for a house, do you know where the exit is?"

The intermediary shook her head. "I know, but I can't tell you. The entrance and exit are related to the safety of the apartment building, so you can ask whoever brought you in. If you don't rent my room, I don't want to take responsibility."

If she hadn't gone through the intermediary Xiao Xu once, maybe Lin Sanjiu would pretend to agree to rent a house—once she rented, she might never be able to get out again.

"You don't want to see the house, do you? Goodbye." After finishing speaking, the female intermediary closed the door neatly.

"I don't know if it's related to luck." Teacher Yi turned her fear into words, "If you just change the order of the information you have at hand, I'm afraid you will be in trouble now."

Lin Sanjiu pursed her lips and knocked on the door of Room 207.

Now she really doesn't know how much information she can still listen to; everyone opens their mouths with a set of specious information, she has heard a lot of nonsense, but she has no clue where to exit.

"I'm an intermediary," the man in room 207 nodded and admitted when the answer couldn't be tested further. "The woman in 202 has a bad attitude, but she's still an intermediary, and she's the kind with high reputation."

"Oh."

Lin Sanjiu wiped his face, anxious and tired, and asked, "Do you know where the exit is?"

"I know, but I can't tell you."

207 didn't seem to feel it at all. Lin Sanjiu on the opposite side even wanted to kill someone, and said calmly: "The only thing I can tell you is one thing. Don't believe the residents tell you that you are in your own house. Unless It was you who saw the exit in the apartment with your own eyes, otherwise the descriptions they gave you, the proofs they found, the advertisements they published in the newspapers, the photos they took...all of these have loopholes and cannot be believed."

Lin Sanjiu subconsciously put her hand on her trouser pocket.

Then can I trust the words of this man in front of me?

She felt as if she had fallen into a dark tunnel that spiraled down. She didn't know whether the information she grabbed was true or false, and whether it would allow her to gain a foothold.

If the copy shows the exit on purpose, but makes her believe that it is a fake exit through analysis... Is there a better way to successfully hide the exit and trap her forever?
　I fell asleep halfway through writing yesterday... so I wrote more early today to make up for everyone.I swear this dungeon is almost done, and it will be over in about two chapters.There are a lot of things going on at home recently.
