Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 849 Out of the Chamber of Secrets
In the dazzling white light, Lin Sanjiu was sitting on the ground, staring at the half lock in front of him.The entire warehouse shook again and again, and from time to time a handful of ash would fall from the ceiling; if it were an earthquake, the tremor frequency seemed too rhythmic.

"...that corpse should be desperately trying to get back into the dungeon." After a while, Teacher Yi couldn't help breaking the silence.

Lin Sanjiu stared at the lock for a long while before blinking his eyelashes slightly.

"It wants to go back to the warehouse, not a copy."

"Is there any difference?"

In the simple gray warehouse, everything is clearly reflected by the lights.When Lin Sanjiu raised his head, the light fell into those amber eyes, making the color look a little lighter than usual; if someone stares at those black pupils carefully, they will find that they are very subtle The amplitude of her body trembled slightly, as if her eyes were following some fine structure.

"...1 minute exactly."

Lin Sanjiu suddenly whispered something, and stood up from the ground again.In the broken wall hole at the other end of the warehouse, there were originally piles of shelf fragments piled up like hills; under the constant impact of the corpse outside, a huge wooden board or iron bar would roll to the ground with a "bang" from time to time.Every time there was a loud bang, she would always be shocked - even if she had been prepared for it.

The courage of the gift bag is really small.

"Tell me, what's the difference?" Teacher Yi didn't forget to ask the bottom line.

"When using [Tornado Whip], I carefully calculated the wind volume, so I just knocked the corpse out of the warehouse, but did not play the dungeon. Thanks to my wind being sent back to the dungeon once, I have A reference data for calculating the air volume." Lin Sanjiu exhaled, stretched his limbs, and then walked towards the gate. "You haven't forgotten, right? After I first walked down the concrete floor, I had to walk in the wild grass for a long time before I was forcibly sent back because I crossed the dungeon."

"That is to say, there is still a certain distance between the wall and the boundary line of the copy, and you just smashed it into that area..." Teacher Yi suddenly paused when he said this: "Hey, wait, that's not right ? When you climbed the wall before, you were sent back because your body crossed the line?"

"There is only one reason that can explain it." Lin Sanjiu grasped the [Power of Description] indifferently—through the barbed wire gate, Long Er's shadow was still vaguely sitting in the grass. "That's because I created a wall, that is to say, I artificially transformed the boundaries of the copy."

"So if you break the wall, just..." Teacher Yi understood, and had another doubt: "Why did it hit the wall? Just go out like you and be teleported back?"

"You forgot, it's a copy creature, it can't leave the copy." Lin Sanjiu stopped and murmured for a while; when the lock on the door began to grow and fill the gap, she continued. : "The first step outside the boundary of the copy, that is, the step that will lead to being teleported back, it will not be able to cross."

"You...how do you know..."

"I have been forcibly teleported back several times, can't this analysis be done?"

"When did you analyze it?" Teacher Yi was surprised. "When you were dealing with the corpse and rebuilding the door lock, did you analyze so much?"

Strange to say, Lin Sanjiu himself didn't realize when he did the analysis.Everything seems to happen naturally; the amount of information Ji Shanqing thinks in one minute seems to far exceed that of others in a few hours.

She smiled lightly, but didn't answer.The lock on the door also just completed the restoration process at this time, and it is brand new and shiny as if it has never experienced wind and frost.Lin Sanjiu called out the keys, picked one at random, and said with a smile: "Now is the time to verify the internal structure of the lock. I wonder if any of these keys can open the door."

Although she said "I don't know", her tone was not worried at all.The key hit the lock cylinder again and again, and in the lonely warehouse under the night, there was a crisp metal knocking sound; when the penultimate one was tried, the door lock "clicked", and her hand The key in it turned smoothly one turn.

The door is finally open!
Even Lin Sanjiu under [Consciousness Mimicry], his heart couldn't help beating several times.She took a deep breath, stretched out her hand and opened the door - the night wind with the smell of grass and soil immediately rushed into her arms.

"Can you come out?" Long Er hurriedly got up from the ground, approached the door and asked, "Have you solved the mystery of the murder in the secret room?"

"It's solved," Lin Sanjiu smiled, but still didn't step out of the door: "It can't be called a mystery."

"How, how do you say it?"

"It's too simple, just watch." She pushed the door open completely, and then called out the coat and pants she found earlier.Before Long Er had time to get closer, she suddenly raised her hand and threw the pants into the warehouse—it was obviously just jeans, but when they fell to the ground, there was a sound of metal clattering. It turned out that she had just dropped the key Put the string in.

"This so-called secret room murder case is ironic. The victim died in a warehouse full of clothes, but his clothes were removed afterwards." Lin Sanjiu said while shaking the windbreaker to ashes. : "Because the clothes you take off are the key to forming the 'chamber of secrets'. As you said, many secret rooms are not secret rooms at all."

"Why?" Long Er realized belatedly, "Well, is there something different about you... did you change your clothes?"

"I don't have a change of clothes, but I'm going to add another one soon."

Thinking of the cleanliness of the gift bag, and looking at the dirty and rotten clothes in his hands, Lin Sanjiu's face almost crumpled into a ball.She checked her pockets to make sure that the window keys and employee cards were in them, and then put on her coat with nausea.

The step she lifted landed smoothly outside the door frame and landed on the dirt in front of the grass.

"Come out!" Teacher Yi couldn't help cheering, "This wall has not been destroyed, you have really crossed the limit of the copy!"

Long Er stared at her blankly, his expression looked more like he was in a daze.After a few seconds, he raised a finger.

"That...why can you get out of the dungeon by putting on your jacket and leaving your pants on?"

Lin Sanjiu immediately took off his coat, threw it on the ground, then called out a towel to wet it, and began to carefully wipe his face and body.

"This is me telling the copy that I have cracked the secret chamber." She wiped every inch of exposed skin like the original gift bag, and whispered: "The murderer took the coat out of the warehouse, and then put it on again came back."

Long Er and Teacher Yi said "huh?" at the same time.

"Let me tell you from the beginning." Lin Sanjiu tapped the concrete floor with his toes, "Remember this? The same floor inside and outside the door frame, as well as the steel bars inside the walls, all show that this warehouse is not a single bungalow, it is A part of a building. A certain room in the building is used as a warehouse, usually for company needs. In this way, unlike ordinary warehouse managers, the deceased actually had colleagues who went to work together."

"Could it be that a colleague did it?" Long Er asked in a daze, "A colleague has a key, so it's not a secret room at all?"

"No," Lin Sanjiu sighed, "I'm afraid the person was indeed killed by a colleague. But if the murderer also has the key, he doesn't have to spend so much time creating a secret room, because it doesn't make any sense at all - whoever has the key, Only the storekeeper, that is, the dead man."

"Then how did he—"

Long Er didn't finish his sentence, and the ground under his feet suddenly shook; this wasn't the body's impact, but rather like a giant beast deep in the ground waking up with a roar.The ground rumbled and cracked, and the clods rolled and fell from midair. The violent tremors shook the two of them off their feet, and they almost rolled back into the dungeon together again.Fortunately, Lin Sanjiu reacted very quickly. While holding down Long Er, he also inserted a stick into the ground, and managed to stabilize the momentum.

"Here it comes," her face turned pale, "the cover of the secret room has finally come to an end, and it can't bear it anymore."

"Who?"

"A dungeon," Lin Sanjiu whispered, "The dungeon is about to come out."
