Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 355
The light tube above the head flickered for a moment, and the wooden door with the number "601" in front of it suddenly turned dark black at the moment of darkness; in the blink of an eye, it returned to the old dark red wood under the light. color.It looked cloudy and faded due to a thick layer of dust.

In the corridor, it was so quiet that even the sound of his own blood flowing could be heard clearly.

The muscles all over Lin Sanjiu's body were already aching because they had been tensed all the time.

Slowly and as silently as possible, she took a step back towards the stairs.

... The apartment building was still silent, and it was not awakened by her step.

Already... 4 minutes have passed.

Reva never opened the door again.

...does it take so long to organize clothes?
After the door of room 601 was closed, the whole apartment fell into a deathly silence, as if there was only this dark corridor and this door in front of me left in the whole world.

The sound of his shallow and rapid breathing filled Lin Sanjiu's ears.With every second that passed, her heart sank another minute.

She raised her hand several times, but never put it down—Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to knock on the door.

She has knocked on room 601 once, no matter who Ye Lan or Lei Wa is telling the truth, she dare not take the risk of knocking on it a second time; The entire chest seemed to be stuffed with ice, and it was freezing cold.

Step by step, with extreme caution, Lin Sanjiu approached the stairs - as long as she stretched her hand backwards, she could touch the wooden handrail of the stairs.

...No, it looks like something is wrong with Reva.A somewhat confused thought flashed through her mind.

She had no doubt that Leiva had indeed entered this amusement project, but as time passed, the conversation just now seemed more and more like she was lying to herself to knock on the door for the second time.

Could it be that Leva has already—?
Maybe she is just like the girl in Room 320, trapped in this building...

Taking another step back, the bone wing behind him followed Lin Sanjiu's movements, and hit the handle of the stairs with a "dang" sound - this sound quickly echoed in the silent space, it sounded like a crisp knock The sound of the door; in the flickering lights, the doorknob of 601 seemed to move suddenly—Lin Sanjiu’s nerves, which had been tense for a long time, suddenly exploded, and he could no longer control himself, and turned his head to go downstairs run away.

It seems that Ye Lan is right——

It was the same on every floor, quiet and silent; only the sound of her "dongdong" footsteps rushing down, within a few breaths, Lin Sanjiu had already returned to the first floor.

When I looked back, there was nothing behind me.

"The residents on each floor will only be active on the floor he lives in..." Ye Lan's voice echoed in Lin Sanjiu's mind again.

If Reva really has a problem, she won't be able to catch up...

Thinking of Ye Lan, Lin Sanjiu calmed down his panting, and became a little inexplicably angry.

Even if Ye Lan is cautious and smart, and has discovered many traps in apartment buildings——but this person is too unreliable!He clearly agreed to knock on the door together to find a way out, but before anything else happened, he ran back alone; he was so timid, no wonder he couldn't get out even after being sleepy for 20 days!

"Hello!" She rushed to the door of Room 101 in two steps, and knocked heavily on the door twice: "Are you here? Come out!"

The angry voice of questioning disappeared into the air.After waiting for two seconds, seeing no one answered the door, Lin Sanjiu stretched out his hand and twisted the doorknob, but found that it couldn't be turned; it felt as if it was locked from the inside.

The last time she walked into Room 101, Ye Lan opened the door for her, and she didn't remember whether the door was locked or not.

When she raised her hand again, Lin Sanjiu's joints froze just as they were about to touch the wooden door.

The golden number plate 101 shone with dim reflection; there was still silence inside the door.

... If she knocked on this door, wouldn't it be the second time?

Lin Sanjiu was so frightened by this thought that he staggered back a couple of steps, and then felt that she was a little out of control.

She met Ye Lan on the third floor, and spent two or three hours together afterwards.If there is a problem with him, there are two things that cannot be explained: one is that he cannot appear on other floors; the other is that there are many opportunities to attack her, so why wait until now?
But thinking so, Lin Sanjiu still couldn't muster up the courage to continue knocking on the door.

To be careful, she took advantage of the silence around and quickly retreated to the stairs on the second floor; without daring to look down, her eyes avoided the direction of the first floor, Lin Sanjiu stood on the steps and called softly "Ye Lan?"

Not only did the air not respond, but it also seemed to stop flowing, sticking heavily and sticky to the body.

"Ye Lan, are you there?" After waiting for a few seconds, she called out again.

The longer the silence in the apartment building lasted, the higher Lin Sanjiu's heart hangs.After waiting for a few minutes, Ye Lan seemed to disappear out of thin air without even responding at all.

If he wasn't in room 101, where else would he be?
...Before she knew it, Lin Sanjiu was already covered in cold sweat, which even soaked the back of her blouse.

She sat on the steps anxiously, not daring to go up or down for a moment.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Sanjiu tried her best to sort out her thoughts—if she thought about it from another angle, maybe the situation was not as bad as she thought.After all, when she met Leiwa on the sixth floor, she didn't look back, so she couldn't be sure that Ye Lan must have run downstairs; what if he did the opposite and went up to the seventh floor?
The seventh floor doesn't have any apartment rooms, and it's the closest to the sixth floor; in a panic, Ye Lan might have really escaped to the bathroom!

Thinking of this, Lin Sanjiu immediately jumped up and subconsciously glanced at the spiraling stairs above his head.
She had tried it with Ye Lan just now, and there was indeed no one in the corridor on the third floor; so she rushed up to the fifth floor in one breath, and stopped on the last step.

The belt buckle used for testing last time was taken back by Ye Lan a long time ago - he didn't fasten it at the time, he just held it in his hand; if he had known this, he might as well have kept it for himself.

After holding his breath and waiting for a long time, Lin Sanjiu finally took a hesitant step in the silence.
The door of room 601 was still the same, facing the staircase with a blank expression.Half of the dried garland hanging on the door fell off at some point and hung crookedly on the door, as if it had been knocked off by someone.

In the short distance to the seventh floor, Lin Sanjiu wished that she could become invisible and become invisible to no one... Finally, after she turned a corner, 601 disappeared from her field of vision.

She had never felt so intimate with the bathroom.

Panting, Lin Sanjiu rushed into the door of the men's restroom on the left, ignoring the water under her feet, she quickly closed the door.
She didn't know what she was hiding - obviously no one in the whole building saw it...

"Is anyone there?" When Lin Sanjiu asked this sentence, she realized that her voice was trembling a little. "Ye Lan, are you here?"

Except that the left and right hands are reversed, the men's and women's washrooms have the same layout. On the right hand side of the door is a long washstand, on which is a large mirror that can shine down to the waist; A dirty urinal, a urinal filled with dirty yellow liquid, with a few cigarette butts floating on the water; beyond that are several separate compartments, stretching back for a long distance, separated from each other. The tail of the room has sunk in the darkness where the light cannot illuminate.

The female voice hit the tiled wall and was echoed back, echoing faintly in the empty bathroom.

"Ye Lan...?"

The water pipes here were obviously leaking non-stop too. After Lin Sanjiu took two steps, his shoes were soaked.

The first gray compartment door was ajar, revealing only a dark gap.She didn't reach out to push the door, but bent down and glanced at the gap under the door.

A very old-looking toilet sat silently on the ground in the dim light, and no one was there.

After reading the four compartments one by one, Lin Sanjiu stopped in a daze.

Ye Lan is not here—in fact, if the memory of a few minutes ago is not still vivid, she might think that she is the only living person in this building.

"Strange……"

Perhaps it was because the continuous dead silence was so disturbing, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help talking to himself in a low voice. "Where can Ye Lan go?"

He couldn't have ran into the women's bathroom in a panic, right?
But apart from this guess, Lin Sanjiu couldn't think of where else he could go, so he decided to go to the women's restroom to see if he was lucky.

As soon as she turned around, a thought suddenly came to her, as if... something seemed wrong just now.

what is it……

Lin Sanjiu slowly turned around while thinking.

The figure of the woman in the mirror also turned around following her movements, her skin was pale and her bones were thick.The bathroom behind him was half covered in shadow, and it was still quiet.

As she took a step forward, the accumulated water on the ground "slapped" and splashed a little.

Ye Lan once mentioned that behind the window of the men's restroom on the seventh floor, there was a painting of a metropolis scene.

This false window was close to the last compartment, and it was difficult to see clearly in the dark.Lin Sanjiu slowly approached it, knelt down and stretched out his hand, and picked up a pair of gold-rimmed glasses from the corner below the window.
... The lens reflected a little under the pale light.

Lin Sanjiu's first reaction was that something happened to Ye Lan—but after thinking about it again, she suddenly couldn't tell whether his glasses were gold-rimmed; Just saying it's a "regular astigmatism lens" without mentioning the owner's name at all.
At a loss as to what to do, Lin Sanjiu held the frame and thought about it, and had no choice but to put it in the card library, then got up and went out, intending to go to the women's bathroom opposite.

In fact, judging from the noise she made in such a long time, if Ye Lan was really in the women's bathroom, she should have heard it long ago; therefore, when Lin Sanjiu pushed the door open, she actually had no hope.

In fact, this place was just as she had imagined, it was still empty.

After confirming that there was no one here, Lin Sanjiu only felt a deep sense of exhaustion welling up in her heart; since entering this amusement project, all kinds of weird things that happened have almost exhausted her both physically and mentally.

With a long sigh, she was unwilling to go downstairs to face the apartment rooms one by one; Lin Sanjiu simply opened the door of the cubicle, picked a cleaner toilet, closed the lid and sat down. go up.The bone wing rested on the water tank in a bit of embarrassment, and it was not placed very well, but at this moment, she naturally didn't have the mood to bother with it.

Staring blankly at the slowly closing compartment door, Lin Sanjiu didn't even know what to do next.

The predicament she was in at this time was not a problem that could be solved by intelligence or force-to be honest, this place always vaguely reminded her of Kisaragi Station.

How can I get out?
If she didn't know that the dungeon would definitely not arrange a dead end for her, Lin Sanjiu would have been driven out of balance by anxiety—just as she was scratching her neck irritably and was about to stand up, she suddenly only heard the door of the bathroom. It was pushed away with a "squeak".

The air condensed in her trachea for a moment.

The sound of people's footsteps stepping on the stagnant water sounded very loud in the silent space - when they were about to approach the cubicle where Lin Sanjiu was, someone called out.

"Miss Lin... are you here?"

Lin Sanjiu stared fixedly at the floor under the door panel.A pair of black flat shoes that obviously belonged to women came gently to the door of the compartment; because the shoes were stepped on by the owner before, a little crease can still be seen now.

...Looks like Reva.

"Didn't you tell me to wait for me to tidy up my clothes? Why did you leave as soon as you came out?" It sounded like Lei Wa had already decided that Lin Sanjiu must be here—until she called out "Lin Sanjiu" twice. Miss".

...Since I was able to reach the seventh floor, does it mean that Reva is fine?
Maybe she's just someone who moves very slowly when changing clothes?
As if probing, Lin Sanjiu answered with a trembling voice. "You...how did you come up?"

"You are indeed here. Didn't I look for you?" Reva responded naturally, "By the way, I came out to use the bathroom. I don't know what's going on in this apartment. There is no toilet in the room, so I can only come to the seventh floor."

Exhaling lightly, Lin Sanjiu felt that his heart seemed to be a little more stable.

Not to mention the issue of changing floors; she has never touched the door of Room 601 for the second time, nor has she called Leiva's name, so from any point of view, this cannot be regarded as "knocking on the door for the second time." Door"……

"The other evolutionary I met here is also gone," Lin Sanjiu said while standing up, not understanding why he used the word "also": "It's a man, I don't know if you've seen him before." -"

The last word got stuck in her throat and she couldn't get it out.

Lin Sanjiu, who was already 1.8 meters tall, inadvertently raised his head and looked at the upper edge of the bathroom door, and saw a black hair top protruding from there.

...Reva is not that tall.

"What are you still doing in there? Come out."

The female voice outside the door seemed to say with a smile.
