I'm afraid of non-human beings

To say that this one-bedroom apartment is comfortable is really comfortable.

The wooden tables and chairs are perfectly ergonomic, and you can sit on them as you like. The 1.5-meter single bed is thick and soft, and it sinks when you lie on it. You can't help but wonder how much duck down is stuffed inside.

Sleeping on such a soft bed, the drowsiness can't be stopped naturally, and it is also a rare relaxation for the tense spirit.

Walking to the window, opening the curtains, the afterglow of the setting sun slanted down, and the sunset and green trees outside made people feel very good.Although once you tried to open it, you found that it was firmly fixed to the window frame and could not be fiddled with at all, but it is not surprising to think that this is only a temporary resting place for them.

What's more, the eye-catching wallpaper is also light and refreshing thin green, everything is perfect and just right.

Except for two points.

Lin You opened the refrigerator next to the open kitchen, and found that the refrigerator and freezer were full of ingredients, including chicken, duck, fish, eggs, and meat, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits that dripped water.

If you ignore the situation where they are actually trapped in the game now, this is an ideal life alone.

Although the game seems to suppress the material needs of the players to the minimum level, thus ensuring that they can continue to conquer the dungeon, but now facing the abundant food, the hunger surges up after a long absence.

The last time he ate was Na Laoshizi's carnival night.

She casually took out a bunch of ripe grapes, peeled off the skin and put it in her mouth.The juice is rich, the flesh is sweet and moist, and it is also the best batch outside. Even Lin You didn't expect to be able to experience it here.

But when she raised her head again, she suddenly lost her appetite.

Standing in this position, you can see it clearly—on the ceiling next to the ceiling lamp, there is a small irregular round mildew spot.Obviously the other furnishings are all clean and tidy, but this stain is stubbornly stuck there, Lin You thought to herself that it was the first time she realized that she was still a perfectionist.

Another point is something that hangs diagonally above the head of the bed.

The frame is made of unpretentious wood, without any extra carvings, and the painting inside is exactly the same simple and elegant, with endless blank space to reflect the thinking of human nature, with a long aftertaste and endless aftertaste.

——In human terms, she really couldn't figure out what kind of little genius would hang a specially framed white paper, or to be more precise, a white canvas, in front of the bed.

The slander belongs to the slander, but it didn't affect Lin You and threw a peeled grape into his mouth again, so he didn't delay the delicious food he deserved.After she put the remaining half of the bunch of grapes back into the refrigerator, she turned on the tap and rinsed off the remaining juice on her hands.

Hydropower is also functioning normally.

The key was obviously the one on the porch cabinet at the door, and she put it in her pocket and turned the doorknob.

Seeing the scene outside, Lin You couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

Although it is not yet dilapidated, the dust accumulated in the corners and the few brooms left there fully demonstrate how neglected it is.

The view from the window of the one-bedroom is fixed, and the lighting in the long corridor outside is not good. Only the windows are opened at the ends of the two sides. A rough count shows that the distribution of the apartment building from left to right is uneven. There are about ten households.

That rule says no one else is allowed in the room.

Lin You thought.

It should be nothing but outside the door, right?

Thinking of this, she locked the door she just came out of, and knocked on the door directly opposite.

It knocked a few times, but there was no response.

... Strange.

She knocked on them one by one, and there were three or four, but she didn't get any answer.Moreover, rather than saying that someone might not be willing to open the door, it would be better to say that there was no movement at all, which made one wonder if she was the only one living here.

Just one minute after Lin You thought so, things ushered in a turning point.

She knocked numbly on an unknown number of doors, and was planning to go back and rest if this failed, when she suddenly heard footsteps approaching from the inside.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the other party seems to be very hesitant.The sound of footsteps stopped at the door for a full minute before the handle was hesitantly unscrewed, and the person inside slowly pushed the door open, just looking out from the gap.

Familiar eyes, familiar looks, familiar caps——

Lin You: "Hey!"

Unexpectedly, the other party was startled by her sound, and the whole person bounced back in horror, jumped high, and sat down on the ground with a "plop".

Lin You: "..."

"Know what you look like now?" she said solemnly. "The cat who saw the cucumber."

Yin Sheng: "..."

He coughed in embarrassment, and pulled down the brim of his hat with his right hand that was originally propped behind his head, covering his red ears.

"... Cough, I didn't expect to meet you here." He whispered, "Don't make fun of me, it's not like you don't know."

"Okay, okay, just kidding—is it okay?"

He fell inside the door, and Lin You couldn't get past him. She wanted to give him a hand, but she stretched out her hand before remembering that this guy is not good at dealing with people to the point where he completely avoids physical contact, so he had to wait for Yin Sheng to get up silently .

Fortunately, it is inside, if it is outside in the corridor, it will have to be covered in dirt.

When he got up, he subconsciously glanced into the room. Lin You guessed that he also saw the rule, but at this time, he didn't put much defense against his teammates who had been in that hotel together, and didn't rush to close the door, "It's okay... ...just a bit of a surprise."

"I didn't expect that this is the whole circle of people again." Lin You smiled and tilted her head in the direction of the corridor, "Since you are here, there should be other players, so I have to look for them." see?"

In any case, it is always necessary to understand the current situation.

Yin Sheng seemed to think the same way, he responded dully, put away the dice that was always in his hand, and then realized what she just said.

"Have you seen them both? How are they?"

Lin You: "Very good."

……should.

"I separated from Chuchu only after clearing the last level." She said, "Geng Qinghe—the situation was a little chaotic at the time, but his physique shouldn't cause any serious trouble."

After all, misfortune is always accompanied by some sense of luck.

Lin You: "By the way, I just saw you taking dice...can you use your ability?"

"No," Yin Sheng was taken aback for a moment, and immediately replied, "It's strange to say that...but it's like being sealed."

"It should be fine."

He stroked the hair beside his ears uncertainly, "...is it time to rest now?"

— just like her.

When she was still in that room, Lin You realized that although she could still call out a few cards as she thought, it seemed impossible to materialize them.

Although it is a rare rest time, adding such a restriction is always unpleasant, even if it is to prevent players from fighting, it is not good or bad.However, it was pointless to dwell on this alone—they quickly knocked on the third door at the end of the other side, and there seemed to be only the three of them on this floor.

The woman who opened the door was about 27 or [-] years old, and her attitude after seeing the two of them could not be said to be cold, nor was it warm.After a brief conversation and confirming that the other party was also the player who had received the "rest" instruction, Lin You saw the unconcealable vigilance in the other party's eyes, and said goodbye to her briskly.

She walked to the door that looked like it led to the corridor of the apartment. Thinking of Han Fei's previous words, she couldn't help shrugging. After all, he didn't have friendship with Yin Sheng before, so it's okay to be on guard in the current situation. inevitable.

Lin You grabbed the doorknob and was immediately taken aback.

Yin Sheng: "What's wrong?"

Lin You: "Can't open it."

Can not be done.

Lin You reluctantly grabbed the handle and shook it again.

Still can't open it.

"...It seems," Yin Sheng muttered, "I won't be allowed to go to other places."

Lin You said "hmm".

There is only such a narrow corridor on this floor, it should not be the first floor, there are other floors above and below.

"Since this is the case, there is no other way." She glanced out of the darkened window, "Go back and rest early."

She suddenly remembered something again.

"Oh by the way, do you have tape or nails or something?"

Yin Sheng: "...??"

"What do you want that for?" He asked strangely.

"It's just that I have suffered in the past," Lin You spread her hands, "Now I feel a little uncomfortable with some things, I don't have any tools here, just ask if you have any, similar ones will do."

Although she just stood outside the door and took a glance, she could also see that the decorations in the two rooms were not the same, and what she didn't have, maybe others had.

"Row."

Yin Sheng nodded, "I'll go back and have a look."

Lin You stood there waiting for him, and within 5 minutes, he saw him rushing back with a roll in his hand.When she got closer, she saw clearly that it was marked with "strong self-adhesive", which was a miscellaneous brand that she had never heard of.

Hmm... not too bad.

Just have to be a little more careful.

"Thank you."

She took it with a smile, waved goodbye and returned to her room.

This strong sticker is also double-sided, so it took a lot of effort not to accidentally injure yourself during the operation.There was no clock in the one-bedroom room, and it was already night when everything was done. Lin You casually scoured some cooked food from the refrigerator to fill his stomach, and couldn't stop yawning wearily.

I don't know when I can try out those newly acquired cards.

That's one last thought she thought before falling asleep.

-

Silent night.

The thin quilt was rising and falling evenly with the breathing of the figure on the bed, just like this hard-won leisure time——as it should be.

The frame shook slightly.

But because it was buckled upside down on the wall, it was buckled quite tightly, and only the picture frame on the back was exposed outside.It took a lot of effort again, and the stuff underneath came out tremblingly.

The fingernails that were opened were covered with dirty blood, but the fingers were completely pale.It struggled to open the gap between the picture frame and the wall, and continued to scratch outward bit by bit.

Then, the pair of ghost hands stopped for an instant.

After a few seconds, it seemed to be unbelievably trying to let go, but a few fingers were firmly hanging on it, and it couldn't get off no matter how hard it struggled.

...sticky, sticky.
