Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 839 Warehouse Keeper

Putting [Ability Polishing Agent] high on the shelf, under the silver light cast by it, Lin Sanjiu carefully checked the windbreaker inside and out.

The trademark and washing label are so worn that I can't read a single word clearly.In the left pocket of the coat, there was a mass of moldy paper towels and chewing gum wrappers. There was still a part of rust on the paper, which was left by the small key.In another pocket, she found an employee card in a plastic sleeve—the lanyard was broken, which seemed to be why it was tucked into the pocket.

Under the yellow plastic, there were a few vague words left on the employee card, which she could vaguely make out, only "service company", "member", and the word "li" that seemed to be part of the name.

Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath, and suddenly understood: "The dead are not evolutionaries at all!"

"No wonder I feel something is wrong..." She rubbed the center of her brows, and when she looked up at the warehouse again, she felt as if everything was different: "What makes me suspicious is not what is in the dungeon, but what is in the dungeon. Something that should be there but isn’t.”

There must be more than one evolutionary who died in this dungeon, if not hundreds or thousands.However, the remains of the corpses in the dungeon were only a handful of bones and hair—what about the corpses of other people?

Almost all the people who died in the dungeon disappeared from the dungeon. It is conceivable that this must be done by the dungeon, because it does not require Lin Sanjiu to consider the previous evolutionary.It disposed of all the corpses by some means, but only this bit of remains remained; combined with that hint, it was obvious that this pile of bones was a clue, sending a message to Lin Sanjiu.

"Someone died here".

Another message is conveyed through the employee card.

"The deceased was a person who was still at work."

In that case, the death time of the deceased is likely to be before the end of the day; even if it is a little later, I am afraid it will not exceed the end of the day-no one will go to work faithfully wearing a badge after the end of the world.

"There are no necessary survival materials here, and there is no domestic garbage left." Teacher Yi agreed, "So it is impossible for the deceased to use the warehouse as a refuge."

"He was a person who was killed in a normal society." Lin Sanjiu stared at the knife edge on the back of the jacket, raising his eyebrows: "Is this...a murder?"

"It can't be such a coincidence," Teacher Yi was full of suspicion, "The copy of the secret room happens to be the scene of the murder case?"

"The two must be related." Lin Sanjiu put down her jacket and reached for the pair of jeans; as soon as she picked it up, there was a soft metal crash, which made her startled.

She reached into her trouser pocket and pulled out a bunch of keys.

Either she didn't have any, or she found so many... When she collected the sundries for the first time, she didn't find the keys hidden in her trouser pocket; it seems that as she cracks the secret room, new keys will emerge here. clues.

"There are five," Lin Sanjiu counted, a little worried: "But how can I find the correct one among these keys?"

If there were door locks, she could have tried them one by one--but there were no doors here.

Different from the previous thin key, these five keys are all cylindrical, solid and thick.The wire loop of the keychain was a little loose and upturned. Lin Sanjiu took out the small key and found that it could be put on; it seemed that after it fell off the keychain, the owner slipped it into his pocket.

"Let me sort it out..."

She looked at the keys, tissues, employee cards, and a windbreaker laying on the ground, and said while thinking: "From the size of the clothes, he is about 1.7 meters tall, with a moderate to thin body... As for his age It’s hard to say, men who don’t care about clothing taste, no matter how old they are, they dress the same.”

"...the employee card in his pocket should also belong to the deceased. Appearing here with the employee card means that he may work in this warehouse—the word 'member' refers to 'custodian' 'Woolen cloth?"

After all, if it was a custodian, the bunch of keys in his pocket would make sense.Lin Sanjiu has not forgotten that the inside and outside of the door frame is the same concrete floor; if this warehouse is just a room in a certain building, then it is not surprising that the same floor is laid inside and outside the door.It also explains why the Warehouse Keeper has more than one key - he probably needs to be in charge of all the warehouses in the building.

"The warehouse clerk who was stabbed to death in the warehouse..." she said to herself, "but why is the clothes clean and there is no bone at all?"

And she remembered that the place where she found the clothes was in the deepest part of the warehouse; the small pile of broken bones and human hair was found in the middle of the warehouse.

The clothes and bones are separated by such a long distance, there are only two possibilities: first, the bones and clothes do not belong to the same person; second, after the warehouse keeper died, his clothes were taken off and thrown into the deepest part of the warehouse .

...No matter how you think about it, the first one is more likely.

Lin Sanjiu frowned and pondered for a while, and finally sighed unwillingly—if she admitted that the clothes and bones did not belong to the same person, then her speculation just now would be completely in vain.

"Fortunately, I'm still very confident in this conjecture..." She murmured to herself, and put the keys and employee badges into her trouser pockets. "Forget it, it seems that we still have to start rebuilding the gate—"

As soon as this thought arose, the silver light of the [Ability Polishing Agent] on his head suddenly flickered, as if a huge black shadow walked through the light.Immediately afterwards, there was a thumping sound of something falling to the ground, which made her tense all over; she glanced hurriedly, and she was relieved: it turned out that a shelf near [Ability Polishing Agent] disappeared after the time limit, which should be the reason. It caused the silver light to alternate between light and dark for a moment.

The rebuilt walls, shelves, and goods were born not far from each other. If one shelf disappears, it means that the others will soon be.Lin Sanjiu called out [The Power of Description], went through the details of the description in his mind, and then two more shelves disappeared.

"...Student Lin." Teacher Yi called her suddenly, with a slightly trembling voice: "Lin Sanjiu."

"What?"

"I... I'm not sure, just... I seem to feel something. You, don't turn around."

Lin Sanjiu stopped his movements and stood on the spot with his back stiff and straight. "Pure Touch" opened silently, but the dungeon was quiet, even the air gave up the flow, like a coffin buried deep in the ground, without any movement.

"You...you take a step forward."

She complied.The sound of the soles of the boots rubbing against the floor was clear and loud in the dead silence.

Teacher Yi has no entity, but at this moment, he made a "goo", as if he also swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Don't you have, do you have a mirror?" She asked in a weak voice, "The gift package..."

Lin Sanjiu didn't make a sound, and silently called out a small round mirror.She held the handle, slowly lifted it up, and looked behind her shoulder.

...After looking for several angles, she finally saw it.

The place that used to be a shelf is now being shrouded in a shadow, just outside the silver light of [Ability Polishing Agent].A human figure stood silently in the black shadow, as if soaked in the icy sea water for several months, with a dead whiteness without a trace of temperature.

In the mirror, the figure lowered its head, its neck almost bent at ninety degrees with its chest.He buried his head deeply, and his body was facing a shelf, clinging to it tightly, as if he was being supported by the shelf to stand upright.

"Go... a little to the left." Teacher Yi said tremblingly.

Holding his breath, Lin Sanjiu slightly moved the mirror.

The white figure showed his long, bare limbs in the mirror.The white vest on his body has been stained into dark black by dirt, and he only wears a pair of checked boxer pants on his lower body, and his legs and feet are deeply hidden in the shadows.

He kept the posture of sticking to the shelf, took a big step to the side, and moved closer to Lin Sanjiu.

　Too sleepy and tired, I will make up the list of thanks tomorrow, I will go to sleep first!
