Chapter 2056 Different paths lead to the same destination?
"Get up quickly!"
Lin Sanjiu slapped Pina on the shoulder, but was startled by her own hoarse voice. Maybe she slept longer than she expected; at this time, her throat was like a broken bell.
She had to rub it hard before she said again: "If there is a problem, wake up!"
When the other two people opened their eyes in a daze, she glanced around anxiously - both ends of the stairs were empty, and except for the connected yellow arrows, there was nothing suspicious.
There was still a layer of cold sweat on her back, and her heartbeat was beating against the pulse of her temples. She was like an overly dramatic actor, giving an inappropriate performance to the empty and quiet stage; after repeated [Consciousness Scanning]
Downstairs, the only place where there was movement was the landing where the three of them were.
The reflection on the glass curtain wall also stood up as Pina and Pan Cui woke up.
"What's wrong?" Pan Cui was alert, putting a hand on her waist and looking around. She coughed hard, and then asked in a somewhat normal voice: "What did you find?"
Her voice was also hoarse; this thought flashed through Lin Sanjiu's mind, and then in a few hasty words, she briefly explained what had just happened - or should I say, what should have happened but did not happen just now.
.
Both of their expressions were a little solemn, but neither of them were too scared; because there was still a more likely explanation. At this time, after Lin Sanjiu calmed down for a while, he also thought of it.
If someone just moved their hands and feet in their sleep, the lights would not go out.
"No matter what the reason is," Pan Cui quickly made a decision, "We shouldn't have stayed here for too long. Now that we're awake, it's more important for us to check the environment and continue walking quickly."
While she was speaking, Pina had already taken out her small flashlight and scanned the hall below the side of the stairs several times; the empty chair was still sunk in the dark depths, and the shadows of all the ruins and fragments were all gone.
It looks the same as before they fell asleep.
"I don't see anything wrong," Pina was about to take back the flashlight when she suddenly remembered something and said "Wait a minute" and then lay down on the edge of the stairs - the next second, her sharp gasping sound came out.
Lin Sanjiu and Lin Sanjiu jumped up. "What's wrong?"
When Lin Sanjiu rushed forward and cast her gaze along the edge of the stairs, she herself was stunned.
The only light bulb nearby was the one hanging high above the stairs; the light it cast caused the stairs themselves to cast a shadow to the side. It was in this shadow that clung to the cracks of the stairs.
Inside, I don’t know when, corpses were piled up one after another.
One by one, they are gray and fuzzy, with no details and only vague outlines of human faces. They are like clusters of mushrooms that grow after the rain. They look up silently and motionless. If they spill out a few corpses, then what will happen in the forest?
Sanjiu couldn't escape when he scanned them, but just like someone carefully coded them and hid them in the blind spot on the stairs, they were all safely hiding in the shadows downstairs.
"Why..." Pina murmured and backed away from the edge of the stairs, "Are they the corpses we dug up? But they are obviously..."
"Don't worry about why," Lin Sanjiu said quickly, "On this stretch of road, dead bodies can obviously move. If we don't change our understanding, we may become one of them."
Pina gritted her teeth tightly, and a muscle appeared on the side of her cheek. She suddenly took out something from her pocket, raised her hand and threw it away; as it suddenly exploded into a shower of sparks, countless broken, dry
The crumpled corpse fragments also splashed out all over the sky. For a moment, it was like corpse fireworks blooming, with long dirty hair, fingers, and round black internal organs forming countless petals.
"They can move and are not afraid," Pina took a deep breath and said, "Can't they still be beaten to pieces?"
Pan Cui hurriedly covered her mouth and nose and took two steps up the stairs. "Why don't you discuss it before taking action? What if there are any consequences?" She shook her head and said, "Forget it, let's go."
When they looked up from the stair landing, they could only see the dim ceiling on the second floor; when they ran up to the second floor step by step, they were all stunned at the same time - Pina didn't know that she stopped in a hurry.
His feet were still weak and he almost stumbled, but Lin Sanjiu caught him.
"This...how are we going to go here?" Pan Cui smiled bitterly and looked back at the stairs behind her, as if she wanted to make sure that the corpses that had been blown to pieces were not coming up again.
"Where's the arrow?" Lin Sanjiu glanced around and asked, "Pina, have you seen the arrow?"
Unlike the dirty ruins downstairs, the upstairs is clean. Whether it is the desk, filing cabinets, or the microwave and coffee machine in the pantry, they are all in good condition.
The reason why they know so clearly is because everything on the second floor - furniture, office supplies, and even the carpets taken off the floor - have been stacked one by one, covering all the space.
It was so blocked that it even reached the ceiling; only a small area visible from the stairs was an open space where people could stand.
Obviously, this is not the number of items that should have been in the office originally.
"I-I'll look for it," Pina gasped, wiping the sweat from her forehead and ducking down in front of two desks stacked together with boxes crowded in the middle. Lin Sanjiu suddenly realized,
She was not the only one panting; the heavy breathing of the three people came and went, clearly in the silence.
"If we go out early, we can rest early," Pan Cui seemed to have thought of the same place and said with a pale face, "But things are piled up so much..."
The space on the second floor that is within sight is crowded with all kinds of things, and even moving them away is impossible - moving them away means that there must be another open space to put things.
But unless they moved their things downstairs one by one, there was no space anywhere nearby.
"Can I just break it into pieces and take it away? Or move the copy?" Pina turned around with an ugly expression on her face, "I'm very tired. I don't know if I can..."
Lin Sanjiu sighed, knowing that she couldn't hide it no matter what.
"I can put things into my abilities to clear a path for us and save energy." She said slowly, "But I also have a quantity limit, so I can't put away every item."
"Ability?" Pan Cuiyuan opened her eyes, and at this moment, like a little girl, her eyes lit up: "You actually have the ability to store things?"
Lin Sanjiu felt a little embarrassed when she looked at her with her shining eyes: "Yes, yes... this is not something extraordinary..."
"You can't say that!" Pan Cui seemed to be underestimating his ability. He waved his hand and said, "Ever since I heard that there is such an ability in the world, I have always hoped that I could see it with my own eyes.
Let’s see. It’s a long story. I’ve been dreaming of myself having similar abilities for many years—”
"I said," Pina leaned on a glove box and turned around to interrupt them: "Are you done talking? I seem to have found a yellow arrow."
Pina's powers of observation were indeed a treasure; Lin Sanjiu didn't expect that she could find the yellow arrow from such a tricky place - or rather, she didn't expect that the path arranged for them by the dungeon would be so tricky.
Under the ceiling, among a large pile of things that obviously came from the pantry, including coffee machines, boxes with cups and plates, microwaves and other miscellaneous things, there was a dismantled stainless steel wash basin; it was sandwiched between two
In the middle of the box, in the dim light and patches of shadow, there was a narrow line of yellow floating.
"That's the yellow color of the arrow. I also found something else." Pina's small flashlight moved away from the yellow reflection and pointed to the opposite side. "Look carefully, between the pile of desks and chairs,
There is a yellow arrow painted under one of the desks."
Lin Sanjiu simply didn't know how she did it; even if someone showed her the way, she had a hard time seeing it clearly. The desk with arrows on it was two meters high from the ground, sitting on a pile of looking
On the unstable furniture, but now that there is a road, the rest is not difficult - she collected and cleared away the debris on the side, opened a path, and after walking to the position next to the arrow, several people stepped on it
He climbed up the crumbling pile of furniture and got under the dark desk one by one.
"I have never walked such a disgusting road in my life," Pan Cui, the last one to climb up, sighed.
Pina had good observation skills, so she took the lead; Lin Sanjiu followed closely behind, constantly using [Consciousness Scanning] to be on guard over and over again, while following Pina's instructions, like a gopher digging a hole, in countless
A trembling path was cleared among the debris. I don’t know if it’s because the bodies downstairs were smashed and they couldn’t keep up. Apart from the three of them, they kept bumping into various objects nearby or stepping on something.
Outside of things, there was never any movement.
Perhaps it was because everyone was exhausted mentally and physically, and for the next few minutes, no one made a sound. Until Pina suddenly screamed in low voice: "There is a balcony on the second floor! I saw it, and the arrow is there.
Leading to the balcony!”
It was really not easy to climb slowly and carefully to her side among all kinds of debris piled up in the air; Lin Sanjiu only managed to climb down from between several computer hosts after almost slipping down.
Finally they saw it - separated by countless vague office equipment, not far from them was a huge floor-to-ceiling window, which was indeed connected to a wide balcony.
What they saw was not just a balcony: opposite the balcony was another commercial and residential building; standing in front of a glass curtain wall at this moment were Tusker and Lin Sanjiu, whom Lin Sanjiu thought had parted ways and would never see each other again.
Jiajiatian.
Kagada was close to the window, looking very excited, waving his hands in their direction; I don't know which window opened, and his screams echoed among the silent tall buildings, much louder than usual.
, even a few people in the office could vaguely hear the general idea - "Hey, Pina, you are over there! We seem to be going in the same direction, let's meet again on the next section of the road!"
Lin Sanjiu stared motionlessly at the figure in the building opposite. There was something wrong with this scene, she thought to herself, there was something very wrong...
"We are buried in the furniture," Pan Cui gasped. "How can he see us?"
"No, he is not looking at us." Pina said in a small voice: "He is looking below us... downstairs."
