"This way of death is really a bit strange." After suppressing the chill in his heart, Lin Sanjiu stared at the body on the ground - perhaps a leather bag is more suitable. "Just kill people, why bother to create
Are these unnecessary actions coming?"
Teacher Yi cannot answer this question.
"Furthermore, since he is dead and his heart has been ripped out, what we just saw..." Lin Sanjiu was puzzled and couldn't help but shook his head and said, "When he took the book away from my hand just now...
, the fingers are solid and strong, not like an empty shell at all.”
Empty shell...
Her thoughts suddenly paused on this word, as if she was vaguely trying to think of something; but this feeling quickly passed by, and Lin Sanjiu thought about it again, but she couldn't remember it.
"Perhaps someone with the ability to transform like Lu Ze knew that he was dead, so he pretended to be an appraiser to deceive people?" The more Teacher Yi analyzed, the more hopeless he felt. He sighed and said, "It seems that we
I can’t get that book back.”
Lin Sanjiu thought about her missing book and the fact that she had no money in her pocket, and her heart suddenly stopped. Even the empty leather bag in front of her didn't seem so weird anymore.
"The little guy left in front of us openly, but where did the person pretending to be an appraiser come from? The only doorway to this house must pass through the living room where we are..." When she said this, she suddenly took a shot.
He shouted "Ah!" on his forehead, then turned around and rushed towards the window.
This window was not big, and what was a bit worrying was that it was blocked by an iron grid; so it became a blind spot in her thinking for a while - Lin Sanjiu stretched out her hand and tugged on the iron grid, and it was easily removed.
He took it off, threw it on the ground, and looked out the window.
As soon as their eyes fell outside, she and Teacher Yi were both stunned.
No wonder the wind blows all the time in the house, and no wonder the windows of my house have to be sealed with iron mesh——
It turns out that outside the window is an endless abyss.
If you stick your head out, you can see that the foundation of the house is just on a cliff. If you look down the cliff, you will continue to sink into the dark abyss. All you can see is a few vague figures in the darkness.
There is a wisp of mist; if you look to the left and right, you will find that this house is not the only one on the cliff, there are many neighbors whose windows are also open above the abyss - one house even washed the
clothes were hung out the window.
It seems that the residents here think that it is normal for them to have cliffs right outside their homes.
Lin Sanjiu watched in surprise as a man not far away finished smoking a cigarette and then closed the window, as if the abyss beneath his feet that would wipe out his body if he fell didn't exist.
"...This," she stuttered, staring at the dark hole, which seemed to hide some giant beast in the underground cracks. She looked carefully for a while in disbelief, and finally saw some clues.
...It seems that the residential buildings came first and the abyss came later.
What can prove her guess is that at the other end of the distant crack, there are some ruins of bricks, earth and rocks. Lin Sanjiu studied the ruins for a long time, and finally saw that it was a building that was cut through and crushed.
Half of the tall building was broken - due to the passage of time, the remaining half was severely weathered and almost lost its original appearance.
"So, the other half of the building was... split down along with the ground?" She murmured to herself.
This kind of horrific attack must have occurred during the battle with the extraterrestrial creature Red Nautilus. And so many years have passed since the war ended, and the people here have developed new cities and towns in the wasteland.
Technology, even people living on the abyss don't take it seriously anymore.
While sighing in admiration, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but think that there seemed to be no hope of recovering his book.
If the person who pretended to be an appraiser had risked falling into the abyss by climbing out of the wall, then he must have prepared a corresponding escape route long ago and would never let Lin Sanjiu find it.
She let out a long sigh and couldn't help but feel dazed for a while.
The method of death of the appraisal master was too surprising. This strange killing method might be a clue in the future. Thinking of this, Lin Sanjiu, although reluctant, finally turned his skin-like corpse into a card.
Collected into the card library.
"Although it's a little late this time, you have to take in a corpse every time you go to a new world." Teacher Yi was also a little dumbfounded. "What kind of curse has you encountered?"
"A corpse came in and a special item came out. This deal is not very cost-effective." She said with a wry smile.
A special item is nothing. After she restored the card library, she found all the previous special items. Without this one, there were many others.
But what worried her was that something like this happened during the first appraisal, and she really didn’t know what to do next.
"If you think about it carefully, it's quite strange." Teacher Yi suddenly said, "That man killed a master appraiser, but he could only deceive you about this book - the cost was too high; he just wants to come back to his old tricks again
If he applies again, how can he guarantee that you, the victim, will not be waiting for him here?"
"Maybe his solution is to take a shot and change places." Lin Sanjiu said gloomily.
"Then tell me, is that young guy just now part of this group of liars?" Teacher Yi asked.
Lin Sanjiu thought for a while, but couldn't tell, so she had to try her luck and turned around and returned to the basement of the building - but it seemed to be expected. She waited there for a while and never saw him again.
The shadow of that thin boy.
"Well, I'm unlucky," she smiled bitterly again, "...how can I make money now?"
She originally said this to Teacher Yi, but maybe because she was in a really bad mood, she blurted it out somehow. As soon as the words disappeared in the air, a person who was about to walk past her suddenly stopped.
——Stopped his hooves and looked up and down at Lin Sanjiu.
This is a man whose legs and feet look like mutton legs and hooves for some unknown reason.
Lin Sanjiu noticed his gaze and quickly looked at the other person: it was just that the upper body of this person was covered in a robe. Apart from the fact that he should be a man, nothing else could be seen.
"Are you short of money?" Sheep Hoof made a deep voice, as if a train rolled past his throat.
