Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 296
... After waiting for a while, Lin Sanjiu finally walked to the door a little uneasy.

The wind came from nowhere, and poured into the living room from under the crack of the door, blowing on her legs, causing a chill.Listening to the sound of "Boom" and "Boom" coming from a distance, she gathered herself together and shouted: "Master! Have you identified my things?"

However, there was still no sound at the other end of the door.

... Could it be that I was deceived?

Lin Sanjiu frowned and thought about it, then he didn't care about any rules and regulations, and opened the door.

Unexpectedly, there was not a room behind the door.

A corridor covered with bamboo mats is quietly sinking into darkness; two dim lamps hanging from the ceiling are swinging back and forth in the wind from nowhere, under the interlacing of light and shadow, the corridor looks eerily quiet .

Lin Sanjiu stepped out of the living room, and walked into the corridor cautiously.

The structure of this private house is very chaotic, as if it was built casually by someone who doesn't understand architecture.The living room is like a lantern hanging on a stick, and only this corridor is connected; there are no other rooms on both sides of the corridor, only a door seems to be vaguely at the end-plus the ceiling is much smaller than the living room. Surprisingly short, Lin Sanjiu had to press down the bone wings to the extreme and then stretch them long, so that he could barely move around in the corridor.

In the constant rushing wind, the door at the end of the corridor was blown open and closed, hitting the door frame, and finally made her understand where the voice she heard before came from.

Walking quickly to the door of the room at the end of the corridor, Lin Sanjiu paused and turned on the consciousness scan.

Although this ability also has many limitations; but besides seeing farther, it also has one of the biggest benefits: with this ability, Lin Sanjiu's sight can "turn"—even though it is not a real turn, it is just a certain distance. Within the range, you can vaguely see behind the corner.

Looking in through the half-open door, the room covered with Japanese-style tatami mats is quiet and there is no one.

She entered the room in a flash, and closed the door behind her back.

... I can't tell where this room came from, it seems a bit weird.

This was Lin Sanjiu's first subconscious feeling.

The floor was soaked in patches of brown stains, and it looked like it had been there for many years; there were several opened boxes in the corner, which were empty; a large wardrobe stood on the left hand side, and an open door was directly opposite. The cold air is poured in through this window.As soon as the wind blows, some white papers on the floor are scraped all over the floor——Lin Sanjiu reached out and grabbed one, glanced at it, and was a little surprised.

It was an appraisal certificate for a special item called [Hengjiang Manufacturing Co., Ltd]. She moved her eyes to the bottom of the page at a glance, and found that the appraiser's name was "Old Red-haired Jack".

She immediately thought of the middle-aged man with bright red hair and short temper whom she had only met once.

In this way, he is really an appraiser——Lin Sanjiu picked up a few more sheets of paper from the ground, each of which was an appraisal certificate of the same specification, except for the different item names, they were all Sent by "Old Redhead Jack".

After the appraisal of the special item, the original owner can take the item away, but the appraisal certificate must be held in the hands of the appraiser to find the buyer - Lin Sanjiu has also heard about this from the boy, so it is not surprising why this " "Red-haired old Jack" will keep so many identification certificates in his hand; it's just... since the other party is not a liar, wouldn't he be a trespasser?
Lin Sanjiu felt a little embarrassed immediately, quickly put together the certificate in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Master, are you there?"

With the awareness that she would be reprimanded by the impatient appraiser, she yelled several times in a row, but there was still no response; she searched the corridor back and forth, and there was indeed no other room in this house—— In other words, the appraiser and the boy from just now really disappeared from this house along with the book [Sad Girl].

"Strange." Lin Sanjiu opened the door and returned to the room just now, a little irritable because he couldn't understand the situation: "Could it be that the book is some kind of rare treasure? When he sees it, he doesn't even want his own nest." Is it? These identification certificates are all money."

"Normally speaking, it shouldn't be," Teacher Yi replied, "The special items from one place should be of the same level...the other few books are nothing special."

The cold wind came in from the window in bursts, which actually cleared Lin Sanjiu's mind.She frowned and thought about it, then walked back and forth in the room, her eyes kept scanning back and forth on the limited pieces of furniture.

When she inadvertently saw the big wardrobe on the other side, she suddenly felt moved, walked over quickly, and opened the wardrobe door.

The red-haired old Jack sat quietly in the closet, meeting Lin Sanjiu's eyes.

At the same time that an exclamation almost leaked from his throat, Lin Sanjiu took two steps back, and finally realized that this red-haired old Jack was no longer alive—the man who was rough and impatient two hours ago The man with bright red hair was as quiet as a puppet at this moment, leaning softly in the cabinet, his face was full of wrinkles and scars, and his eyes were wide open.

Lin Sanjiu stared at the corpse, stepped forward lightly, and pulled it.

The red-haired old Jack's body was like a hollow bag, and she pulled it off so easily with a thud; his limbs fell limply on the ground one after another, making a few "click" sounds.

Lin Sanjiu only felt that the body's limbs didn't feel right, and when he looked closely, his scalp felt a little numb.

Starting from the back of his head, all the way to the back of his waist, the skin was smoothly cut into a long opening; peeling the skin along this opening, it was actually empty inside—except for some dry and sticky blood and broken meat Except for the end, no matter whether it was bones or internal organs, they all disappeared completely, and became an empty leather bag, only one head was still intact.

...It looked like his body had been eaten away by something.

"Could it be that he was killed just now?" Lin Sanjiu murmured in surprise, "I didn't hear any cries for help..."

The corpse was still wrapped with the robe that said "Appraiser", and even the size and location of the stains were exactly the same as in memory; There are many corpse spots all over - even if you get close, you can still smell the faint stench.

"It's been four or five hours since I died." Teacher Yi said with certainty.

Lin Sanjiu couldn't help being a little silly.

...So, who was that person she saw just now?
