Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 359 Rare Scenery

...As if to make sure that what she did was right, as Lin Sanjiu walked out slowly step by step, the conversation with the apartment residents flashed back into her mind.

…The person living in Room 207 was a slender woman who was a head taller than Lin Sanjiu when she straightened up; when she lowered her head to speak, Lin Sanjiu suddenly thought of a giraffe ——"Yes, that's right, you are not considered an official resident yet."

She paused, then continued with a blank expression: "...to become an official resident, you must meet twice or more with a certain resident who has already officially lived here. I heard that there is another way... yes What, I don't know."

A young couple lived in room 304. When the husband came to open the door, the petite wife laughed and shouted from behind, "I'm still in my pajamas, please close the door first." Lin Sanjiu had already experienced this scene once, and immediately stretched out a foot against the door, and finally let the husband finish talking.

"You ask me if I can go out through the window? Are you kidding me? Why do I have to climb the window if the door is closed... The girl at 320 said there was no exit? That's because she is also an outsider and can't find the exit. Those who settled down in this building... of course there is still a gate."

The person living in room 411 was a young man who seemed to be preparing for an exam; when he came to open the door, there was still a pen between his fingers, and he spoke impatiently: "I don't know what you are asking, You wait for a few minutes, and come over again when my mother comes back—ah? Won’t you come a second time? "

The young man lowered his head upon hearing the words, his face shrouded in shadow.After a while, he quietly opened his mouth: "...Well, since this is the case, I will tell you what I know. The security outside this apartment is not very good, and there are often some thieves recently. Homeless people crawled in from the outside and caused us a lot of trouble. What? Of course you can go out the same way they came in...but if you go out, you become a homeless person, and our apartment will not allow it People like that live in—oh, shall I show you? I can see them right out of my window..."

After coming out of Room 411 almost as if he had narrowly escaped death, Lin Sanjiu knocked on the door of Room 608.

"You are still preparing to be a resident. There must be a lot of things missing in the room?" A chubby middle-aged uncle greeted her enthusiastically: "... Would you like some coffee?"

Lin Sanjiu immediately shook his head.The middle-aged uncle put down the coffee pot, squeezed his body into the crack of the half-open door, and stared at Lin Sanjiu without blinking: "...the management in this apartment is not strict, not just thieves and so on People come in through the windows, and there are often people who don’t know what to knock on the door. The first time I knock on the door, I’m fine, but the second time I knock on the door, I’m angry... Last time a guy was stuffed into me In the fire exit outside the window, I realized afterwards that it seemed to be a friend of the new resident on the first floor."

...a total of six floors, except for Lin Sanjiu on the first floor who did not go down because she was worried about "Ye Lan". Some messages came out; if you inquired a lot, you would find that these messages were generally divided into several categories—of course, almost without exception, the residents who were knocked on the door used various methods to trick her into opening the door. Second door.

But no matter what, Lin Sanjiu finally figured out a general idea from these messages.

First of all, this amusement project is divided into two parts: Behind this apartment building she is very familiar with, there is actually a hidden and more dangerous "world outside the window" - from the tone of voice, this "world outside the window" "There are only "thieves and tramps" in the apartment: once the people in the apartment go out, they can never come back; while the "people" outside can occasionally take the opportunity to appear in the apartment, causing great harm to the residents. "Trouble" - but on the other hand, the residents here can use coercion or coaxing methods like the middle-aged uncle to let the evolutionary go out of the window...

Although it is no longer possible to know what the truth is, Lin Sanjiu has still worked out a timeline that she thinks should be very close to the truth.

After she entered this amusement project, "The World Outside the Window" should be a new death trap that appeared after the difficulty was increased.When she went to knock on the door of Room 601, Ye Lan turned around and ran up to the seventh floor; judging from the place where the pair of glasses fell, it was probably in the bathroom window on the seventh floor. The evolutionary outside the window—according to the name of the middle-aged uncle, Ye Lan should at least have some trust in that person.

But at this time, the "person" outside the window is naturally no longer a person.

Ye Lan was a cautious person, so he probably wouldn't just get into a painting hastily; perhaps it was because of his caution that he eventually died inside the apartment building - exactly what the slender woman said, He met the second condition of becoming an "official resident" and lived in room 101 completely.

After him, Leiva finally left from the window for unknown reasons; there is a great possibility that she was frightened as she said, so she jumped out of the window of the old lady's room, and since then Trapped in the "world outside the window".

If Lin Sanjiu hadn't come in, neither she nor Ye Lan would have died on the window; the series of actions the two of them took after that, from a certain point of view, can probably be regarded as revenge—and because the apartment residents The information given by them is all random, and the metaphors of the previous person and the next person may not be the same thing at all: for example, the words of the girl in room 320 are actually a way to identify the official residents and the preliminary residents; However, the old lady was talking about "the world outside the window" - thus creating an illusion for Lin Sanjiu, making her mistakenly think that the window in a certain room was the exit, and she was almost fooled by Leiva.

And the "neighborhood meeting" should be the last checkpoint in this apartment building.

... At least that's what Lin Sanjiu guessed.

The feeling of walking among the "neighbors" probably will never be forgotten in her life——

The light that suddenly became so bright that it blinded the eyelids even whitened the inside of the eyelids; the gaze that fell on her seemed substantial, even though there was nothing around her when she walked all the way, Lin Sanjiu could still feel it somehow. I realized that she was walking in the "crowd" step by step.

The "residents" were very close to her; in fact, a bit too close... Her left cheek itched slightly, as if some hair had brushed it; thinking about it carefully, the touch seemed to be eyelashes when she blinked .

A pair of eyes were sticking to her face.

... This thought is really uncomfortable and makes people tremble, and it also makes people want to open their eyes immediately.

"Ye Lan, are you here?" Lin Sanjiu suddenly called out in a low voice as he closed his eyes and walked out slowly based on memory.She didn't dare to stretch out her hand forward, for fear of bumping into something, so she took every step very slowly, her eyelids were trembling faintly like her voice: "...you must be here."

There was no response in the surrounding air for a long while.

"...I'm sorry," after thinking for a while, these three words were all Lin Sanjiu could finally say.

Even though she was very clear that it wasn't her fault, whenever she thought of Ye Lan's expression when he stepped up and stopped her from calling the door, she felt her throat was a little dry.

If he had stood by and let it go, Lin Sanjiu would have died, not him.

Ye Lan was probably there, but even after hearing this sentence of apology, she still didn't say anything.

Sighing deeply in his heart, Lin Sanjiu tried his best to suppress the mixed emotions of fear and guilt, and tried his best to perceive everything around him.

Originally, there was a chaotic state of "pure touch" in the apartment building, but after I closed my eyes, it opened unknowingly, and I don't know when it gradually became clear.As the perception ability became clearer, Lin Sanjiu knew that she was going in the right direction; after a sudden "bang", a gust of wind rushed towards her face, blowing the hair on her neck and at the same time letting her A heart fell straight back into his stomach.

"Congratulations, you have completed the first round of 'House of the Devil'."

After waiting for several seconds like a frightened bird, Lin Sanjiu tremblingly opened his eyes after feeling the sky light shining on his shoulders.

The broad-shouldered young girl she had seen once was sitting behind a glass window in front of her at this moment: "...you didn't perform anything special in this round, you only got six physical strength points, come and claim it."

Looking back, in front of the warehouse-like building, the shutter door is slowly being lowered—any apartment building, dark red wooden door, Ye Lan...there is no trace of existence at all.

In the next second, Lin Sanjiu rushed towards the window with the words "ticket sales" written on it.

The huge bone wings fully unfolded under the anger, forming a sharp angle in mid-air, wrapped in momentum, and smashed the ticket window in an instant with the sound of glass shattering. The panic-stricken young girl sat down in the shadow cast by the bony wings, as if she didn't know what to do—

But in the next second, all of Lin Sanjiu's attacks froze with the female voice coming from the radio speaker.
"Player No. 57, please pay attention. If you continue to attack the staff of this garden, you will be punished by deducting 50 stamina points...Player No. 57, please pay attention..."

However, even after stopping the attack, Lin Sanjiu's anger was still completely uncontrollable—she waved her arm fiercely, and a few large pieces of broken glass flew out, brushing the young girl's face: "House of bravery? Is this a fucking haunted house? What is the so-called 'tourism program'?"

"Well, according to the regulations, I couldn't tell you in advance," the girl swallowed. No matter in her movements or expressions, she seemed to be no different from ordinary people, and she didn't look like a creature in the dungeon. "...Besides, how many people in the world have seen ghosts? Isn't this more worth visiting than famous mountains and rivers?"

With his chest heaving and falling under the anger, Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a long time, and finally let out a long breath.

"No wonder..." Teacher Yi finally spoke up: "—No wonder! You can't attack them, and they won't attack you!"

"Yes," the young girl sat up in a piece of broken glass. "Which haunted house would allow you to beat up the staff casually? Of course, the staff can't touch you either."

staff member……

Lin Sanjiu felt a bit bitter in his mouth.

The two living lives of Ye Lan and Lei Wa are forever trapped behind this rolling door like a joke?
"...If you don't pass the first level, what will happen to the evolutionaries inside?" She asked softly.

The girl glanced at her, but didn't answer directly—it seemed that she was also afraid that Lin Sanjiu would vent her anger on herself even if she lost 50 health points when Lin Sanjiu came up vigorously—after deliberating for a long time, she chose her words and said : "It depends on their good fortune. Some people who have not completely fallen into desperation do not mean that they will never be able to get out..."

...Although it may sound like a long shot, it's better than no chance at all.

Exhaling, Lin Sanjiu wiped his face, looked up and looked around.

The place where she came out was actually at the gate of the warehouse; the surrounding scene also looked the same as before she entered, making it unclear how long she had spent inside.

When she asked this question, the young girl searched for a while among broken glass and overturned tables and chairs, and then took out a watch.

"It's not long, you actually only spent less than four hours."

Four hours... Lin Sanjiu frowned.

I don't know if this time is enough for the puppeteer to pass his amusement project—in any case, the past is over, and what she has to do now is to quickly clear the level and catch up with the puppeteer as quickly as possible. it is good.

"Okay, you hurry up and give me my stamina, I want to participate in the next round." Lin Sanjiu said to the young girl, and then stretched out his wrist.

The girl with a pair of broad shoulders stuffed her clothes to the brim, quickly picked up an instrument from the ground, and swiped it on her wrist.Probably because she was a little afraid of her temper, the girl added another sentence: "...This time it's a different scene, so don't mess around."

As the shutter door slowly opened again, Lin Sanjiu glanced at her, took a breath, and was about to walk inside.

But to her surprise, before she could take this step, a pair of feet had already emerged from the shadow behind the rolling door—then, a person came out from behind the door.

"Huh? Ms. Lin, why are you here - I was looking for you everywhere, what a coincidence!"

Acor opened his eyes in surprise and said.
