Lin Sanjiu walked around the empty house without turning on the lights. It was a small one-bedroom apartment with a smell that had been stuffy for a long time without air circulation. The mattress in the bedroom was still new.
, it feels stiff when pressed, and is also wrapped in plastic film.
She first sat on the sofa for a while, feeling that it was not as comfortable as the exodus material. Then she stood up and went to the balcony to look at the night view for a while, but felt that it was not as bright and gorgeous as the blue sky. In modern society, even the night sky is soaked in gray.
The haze was lifeless and lifeless under the industrial pollution. There was a machine on the balcony. She looked at it several times before realizing it was a washing machine. Compared with more than ten years ago, the appearance of the washing machine had actually changed.
so much.
No matter what, it is a place to stay.
She looked out from the kitchen. Less than ten meters away, she was facing the kitchen of another house. A housewife was cooking in the smoke, her brows were furrowed, and there was sweat on her forehead. She looked like she was suffering from a lot of hatred. Since
If you are not happy, why do you still do it?
The housewife not far away suddenly threw the frying spoon, turned off the fire, raised her voice and yelled at someone: "Stop playing games! Eat! Eat!"
Lin Sanjiu quietly exited the kitchen and returned to the empty living room. The neighbor's housewife's house was very noisy. Every word she spoke seemed like she was holding back her energy to quarrel, but she didn't quarrel. She circled back and forth around the quarrel.
She tweeted: "Playing games every day, spending money without a salary increase! I don't know how to help when I get home!" It became more and more empty in her dark room.
A string of bicycle bells rang in the distance, someone spat loudly upstairs, someone's TV was playing a not-so-pleasant theme song, and a washing machine nearby was also spinning rumble-perhaps exactly the same as hers.
Lin Sanjiu sat blankly in the darkness for a while.
An ordinary day for ordinary people seemed different from what she imagined, but she couldn't tell what was different.
She and countless others struggled, resisted, and fought in the torrent of doomsday... The life that she had to grit her teeth to stay alive no matter what, turned out to be in modern society, in front of the TV, in front of the washing machine, in front of the stove and boiler...
Is it slowly wearing away? Standing outside the world and looking at it in a blink of an eye, my eyes are full of fireworks and trivialities, and it seems that it is not as stable and happy as in my memory.
There were no fallen species, no hostile evolvers, no copies... She didn't know what to do next. Sitting in the dark without being able to turn on the light... it would be nice if the [Ability Polishing Agent] was still there.
Thinking of it, Lin Sanjiu could not help but feel refreshed.
By the way, the last time she opened [ebay] to check her wanted advertisement was more than a week ago. Maybe someone left a message for her? Even if there is no news about [Ability Polishing Agent] yet, you can see it
See what other evolvers are selling and buy whatever you want! Even if she doesn't buy anything, at least she can get some news from the apocalyptic world.
She quickly called out [ebay] and closed her eyes. For the first time, she felt that the shopping interface that appeared in front of her was so friendly. Libao liked to use her [ebay] to buy things. Even if she became a data entity, she couldn't change it, just like someone else.
The things sold to him are more interesting than those written by myself. He must be trying to find him, so you might as well choose a small gift for him now and make him happy when he comes to find him - maybe it can make him happy
The child calmed down somewhat.
There were still few messages under the request to buy [Ability Polishing Agent], just like a month ago. After scanning it, she opened the list of items for sale; but she had already read several pages, and the items for sale on each page were all
It's gray.
This means that all the items on [ebay] are too far away from her and cannot be delivered...?
Then contact someone else and give it a try.
The only two users Lin Sanjiu knew on eBay were Gong Daoyi and a puppet master. It was obvious who to contact. At this time, she looked at the username "Bounce Little Sesame"
, I felt like my heart was filled with tenderness and joy - even the cold and thin face in the memory became much gentler and kinder, as if he was really her uncle.
"Where are you? I was teleported away."
……Failed to send.
Um?
"Are you still in the lava world? Have you met Bohemia?"
Failed to send.
"Potato, potato, I am sweet potato."
Failed to send.
Lin Sanjiu was a little dumbfounded, because such a situation had never happened before. Logically speaking, the message sent by [ebay] is not affected by the distance; every message sent out is transmitted by two [ebay]
The message was sent to the owner due to the resonance generated in the room. She randomly clicked on everything that could be clicked on the [ebay] page, but instead of being blank when she opened it, it was gray and unresponsive, as if
This special item in her hand was taken offline.
She opened her eyes and put the special items back into the card library. She suddenly felt an inexplicable panic - as if she had unknowingly lost herself in a deserted land, and no one knew she was here.
She couldn't find a way out. But the panic only lasted for a short while, and she was sorted out by reason: In any case, this is a world that has not yet ushered in the end. In this environment, originally
There shouldn’t be any special items, not to mention that it’s just out of action now? It’s likely that [ebay] will return to normal only at the end of the world, right?
She tried to think back, but couldn't remember whether Ren Nan had used any special items. Judging from her experience at that time, she probably wouldn't have been able to tell even if she had used them... But now that she thought about it, Ren Nan had something special.
There are so few items. For an experienced evolver, this doesn’t seem quite right, right?
When Lin Sanjiu was lost in thought, she heard a faint sound coming from the balcony in the distance - this apartment is located on the sixth floor, and it is impossible for anyone to hear the voices downstairs clearly; but for an evolution with sharp ears and eyesight,
For readers, the intermediary's voice couldn't be clearer: "Yes, it's on the sixth floor... Oh, a lower floor is better. You don't have to wait for the elevator... Yes, the furniture is all new..."
Isn't this agency's business too busy? It's only been an hour and there's already another client?
Lin Sanjiu quickly stood up and quietly closed the door. She violently removed the door lock and handle, leaving only a big hole in its place, which could not be closed at all. She took out the [Power of Description] and muttered something for a while, opening the door.
New locks and handles slowly "grew" inside, and it barely looked like before.
"Fortunately you can still use it, try your best."
She praised the "power of description". Of course, the fake door lock could not be opened with a real key, but she had already prepared a countermeasure for this - when she heard footsteps in the corridor, she quickly stepped on the sofa,
He jumped up to the top of the empty bookcase in the living room, climbed up with flexible hands and feet, hid himself in the corner of the ceiling, and then pressed the door handle with a touch of consciousness.
"I gave you the consciousness, but you can use it to do things like chickens and dogs," Teacher Yi complained coldly and disappeared again.
"Huh?" the agent's voice sounded outside the door, "Why is this door lock...oh no, it's nothing. Look, isn't it unlocked?"
Of course it was opened, Lin Sanjiu thought to herself. When she was holding the agent to turn the key, she used her consciousness to open the door.
The agent clicked the light switch a few times, but the big light in the center of the living room just didn't light up. It definitely wouldn't light up. Lin Sanjiu had unscrewed it when she climbed up; otherwise, her limbs would stick to the
On the ceiling, it looked like a big spider hanging in the corner. She was afraid of scaring anyone who came to it to death.
"It's okay, the landlord will fix it in due time." He explained to a young couple in a nonchalant manner, and took out his mobile phone to illuminate it.
According to this method, no matter how many visitors come to see the house, they will never find Lin Sanjiu who is living here temporarily. However, this is not a long-term solution. She still has to find a way to make a living and get a foothold here first.
...She is always wandering outside society, and maybe something will go wrong one day. After thinking about it, she has no skills that can help her survive in modern society; otherwise, she should learn from the hero movies in the past.
Just the same, it would be better to go out at night to support justice, rob the rich and give to the poor - when it comes to poverty, she happens to be one of the "poor". Isn't it a coincidence? Isn't it?
While she was lost in thought, the couple had already hurriedly looked at the house with noncommittal expressions on their faces. They didn't take a fancy to it at first glance.
"If you are satisfied with this community, we have another one..." the agent opened the door and said with a smile. When the couple walked out, he was about to follow him out when he suddenly looked down at the floor and it felt like mud under his feet.
I wiped it back and forth and looked at the door handle again.
Hey, despite his humble appearance, this guy has a very careful heart.
When Lin Sanjiu broke into the door, she would inevitably break the wood in the door panel. Although she had just cleaned it in the dark, there was still some sawdust and debris scattered on the ground. In addition, even the fake door lock plate
Even though I try to pretend to be the real person, it is still far from the real thing...
"You two, you go down first, I suddenly remembered that the landlord told me something," the agent smiled and waved to the couple, "I'll go down as soon as possible, five minutes, five minutes!"
Lin Sanjiu hung in the corner of the ceiling, watching him close the door, raise his phone, and search around the living room - maybe he didn't even know what he was looking for, but he would go back to look at the door lock from time to time.
He tried the key several times, but it did not alleviate his doubts at all.
"That's not right," he murmured, "where did it come from... the lamp is broken."
The agent straightened up and paused for a while.
Immediately, he raised his mobile phone and pointed the light at the big lamp in the living room - the ceiling was suddenly illuminated. Lin Sanjiu was hiding at the blurred junction of light and darkness, and at this moment it was just a hazy image in his peripheral vision.
A human figure lies on the ceiling.
Before he could turn his head, the intermediary made two gurgling sounds in his throat, and his whole body trembled. The light of the phone trembled slightly, and he moved to the corner bit by bit. In the snow-white flashlight light, Lin
Sanjiu's heavily painted face emerged from the gloom, his bloodless lips curled up, and he smiled solemnly at him.
