...When Lin Sanjiu raised her hand, even she couldn't believe what she was about to do next - but this doubtful thought passed away in a flash, and then she held the brass
The door handle was colored; with a "click", the handle turned in response, and with a gentle push, she slowly opened the dark red door of Room 320.
Then, she stepped in.
——The story started when she met Reva in the bathroom twenty minutes ago.
...The black hair on the top of the bathroom door panel stuck into Lin Sanjiu's field of vision like a nail.
In the small space, Gu Yi was too restricted; she screamed silently, and she already bent down and quietly climbed onto the toilet seat, occupying a relatively high position.
"...Push the door open." A cool female voice echoed in the small cubicle.
Once the real danger was right in front of him, Lin Sanjiu was able to calm down - no matter what was outside the door, it was much stronger than before when he couldn't see or touch it and every punch he threw always came up empty.
.
The strand of hair moved slightly, and then the bathroom door was pushed open with a "squeak".
The door was obviously only lightly touched by someone outside - the door panel slowly slid open, gradually revealing the normal-looking Reva to Lin Sanjiu's gaze.
She has dark brown hair, is of medium height, and has a tired old look... It is indeed the same Reva she has seen several times.
"What are you doing?" As soon as Reva saw Lin Sanjiu getting ready to attack, she immediately took a few steps back, her voice full of surprise: "...you want to attack me?"
The line of darkness on the door panel had disappeared at some point; everything outside the door looked the same as before - Lin Sanjiu frowned, tightened her grip, and finally did not move rashly.
It's easy to attack Reva here, but she doesn't want to get involved in the fight carelessly.
After all, she still doesn’t know much about this place…
"It's nothing, I'm just in case." Lin Sanjiu waved his hand and put it away. After showing that he had nothing on his hands, he walked out of the cubicle slowly. "Why did it take you so long to change clothes?"
time?"
Rewa slowly relaxed her guard suspiciously, but there were still several steps between her and her: "...What took so long? I'll be out soon."
If he continued to struggle with this issue, there would definitely be no answer - Lin Sanjiu narrowed his eyes and glanced at her, and finally changed the topic.
"...How much do you know about this place? What should you do next?"
"Not many," Reva said simply. "I have entered two or three rooms and looked at them. They were all empty and no one was there. There were not even a few evolutionaries. Even if I wanted to get some news, I didn't know who to call.
good."
After a pause, Lin Sanjiu looked at her and spoke. "...If you want to get some information, I know a way."
Reva raised her eyes and looked at her in confusion—exactly the expression an evolver trapped in a dungeon amusement ride should have.
Lin Sanjiu didn't explain much. He just motioned for her to follow him, then turned around and walked out of the bathroom.
...If you want to verify the authenticity of what Reva said, it is actually very simple.
Turn left after coming out of the women's restroom, and you'll find the stairs. After asking Teacher Yi to keep an eye on Leiva behind him, Lin Sanjiu took the lead and led her to the sixth floor. Before she even walked down the stairs, she could already see her.
The door of Room 601 is open - next to it is Room 603, which is half exposed.
Stopping, Lin Sanjiu turned to look at Reva. "How many rooms have you entered?"
"I've gone in and looked at the first few rooms on the sixth floor." Reva's expression was a little confused, "...what's wrong?"
"Then you won't mind entering again, right?" Lin Sanjiu smiled calmly at her, "Don't enter 601, just enter 603."
Reva seemed to be full of doubts about this request, but after taking a look at Lin Sanjiu, she finally complied with it. While muttering, "I told you everything, what else is there to see?", she turned around a bit.
603 door handle——
While Lin Sanjiu opened her eyes slightly, the door of 603 was indeed opened by Rewa.
As if to prove herself, Reva said, "Let's see!", and then stepped into the house without waiting for Lin Sanjiu to say anything.
From the stairs where Lin Sanjiu is, you can only see part of the house through the half-open door; there is a vase of dried flowers on the shoe cabinet at the entrance, and next to it is an empty coat rack. Further in, it is blocked by the wall.
Block it and you can't see it.
You can actually get in!
As soon as this thought came to her mind, even Lin Sanjiu didn't realize it. She had immediately rushed in the direction of 603; Reva's voice came from inside the house, "Come and see, this is nothing."
Empty houses where people live…”
A gust of wind rushed forward, blowing the strands of hair on Lin Sanjiu's forehead. When she was stunned for a moment, feeling that something was not right, the door of No. 603 in front of her was already blown by this gust of wind.
"Bang" came on - half of Rewa's words suddenly stopped, and even the last sound was cut out, as if it had never sounded.
Lin Sanjiu was stunned at the door.
... After standing in the dead silence for an unknown length of time, she raised a slightly trembling hand.
"Dong", "Dong", two hesitant knocks on the door were heard far away in the corridor.
No one answered the door.
Lin Sanjiu's left hand was already sweaty, and she was holding the card tightly. She held her breath and listened for a while. After the echo disappeared, the apartment building was still as silent as before.
Just as she raised her right hand again, intending to knock on the door again, the door handle of Room 603 turned, and then the dark red wooden door was silently opened a crack.
A human face emerged from the gap - but it wasn't Reva.
...The person who opened the door was an old lady with a smile on her face.
Her silver-gray hair was made into neat curls, and her loose skin was folded into deep folds on her face; everything on her face was slumped downwards, except for one piece painted red.
The lipstick-covered mouth was now raised high, forming two pointed corners of the mouth.
"Little girl, who are you looking for?" the old lady asked with a slow smile, her voice was soft and hoarse.
This, this is definitely the resident of the apartment——
Lin Sanjiu involuntarily took a step back and felt the edge of the card touch her palm. Then she calmed down: "...Who are you? Didn't you see a woman enter this room just now?"
"I have lived here for twenty years. I have never seen anyone come here." From under the old lady's lowered eyelids, a pair of gray eyes were looking at Lin Sanjiu motionlessly; she smiled.
When speaking, his mouth seemed particularly open: "...there may be a few thieves. But I am old and can't catch them, so they all ran away from the window."
window?
Lin San drunkenly raised her eyes and looked over the old lady's gray head. She happened to see an open window on the wall opposite the door.
There was an alley outside the window - but it was so far away that she couldn't be sure whether it was just a particularly realistic painting or a real alley.
But she still remembered the feeling of being touched by a gust of wind on her cheek just now.
...So, did Reva leave through the window?
"If nothing happens to you, I will go back and rest." When the old lady was talking, her eyes did not leave Lin Sanjiu for half a second; she smiled and slowly closed the door: "...
...Come and sit with me again when you have time, my mother-in-law is very happy to see the young man."
The door of room 603 was once again closed in front of Lin Sanjiu.
As soon as the wooden door closed, the apartment building suddenly fell into a lifeless silence. There was no sound of footsteps walking away from behind the door, nor was there any sound of breathing. It was as if it was just an inanimate thing, separated by a wall.
Standing at the door... Lin Sanjiu suddenly trembled, turned around, turned around and rushed towards the stairs.
"Where are you going?" Teacher Yi exclaimed.
"I, I have an idea," Lin Sanjiu's voice trembled slightly, "I think what they both said is right."
"What's the meaning?"
"In this apartment building, there must be two rules of 'knocking' and 'entering' in parallel," she replied quickly amid the constant sound of the stairs at her feet: "Ye Lan and Reiwa discovered it.
. It must be all true, and there is no problem between the two of them - at least, there should have been no problem until just now."
If the evolved person knocks on the door, then "someone" will come out to answer the door; but if he pushes the door directly, or opens the door before someone answers the door, then the apartment should be empty...
This also explains why Ye Lan and Lei Wa's words are completely opposite!
Judging from my own experience, the residents in this apartment building will probably coax the evolutionists to knock on the door, just like the group of young men, women and old ladies -
Rushing down the third floor in one breath, with her heart beating as violent as thunder, Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath, then walked to the door of Room 320 and turned the doorknob.
She's most likely wrong; if she's wrong, what happens next?
…However, the door to 320’s room opened.
Just as Lin Sanjiu guessed, the room she had seen once before was now empty. The stains and empty wine bottles were still there, but the "people" were gone - even the smell in the air
The smell of burning plants has also completely disappeared.
Using bone wings to prop up the door to prevent it from closing, Lin Sanjiu cautiously took two steps inside.
Behind the window of Room 320 was a desert landscape painting; although it was still lifelike, she could conclude after taking a look that it was just a painting after all.
Lin Sanjiu backed out a little dazedly, and quickly left Room 320 - when she left, she was particularly careful not to let the bone wing touch anything; as long as nothing in Room 320 was opened due to the noise she made.
If it's the door, it shouldn't be considered the "third knock".
With a worried heart, she still made it to the first floor smoothly.
"It seems that you really guessed it right." Teacher Yi also sounded a little stunned, "But...even if I know this, I still can't find the exit!"
Glancing at the door of Room 101, Lin Sanjiu did not walk over, but took steps towards the depths of the corridor. She frowned, thinking in a low voice: "...Such a rule must have meaning.
; the way to find the exit must be inseparable from these rules..."
In order to test her idea, she started from Room 120, the last room in the corridor, and opened the doors of every room without warning; just as she thought, these rooms were also empty.
There is no trace of anyone living there; the paintings pasted behind the windows are each different.
"It's the same here," Lin Sanjiu stood at the door of Room 108. After a brief glance inside, she didn't know whether she was disappointed or relieved and said, "...there's nothing."
This was a single apartment, so small that the entire room could be captured in her eyes at a glance; just as she was about to close the door and go to the next room, she suddenly heard a gentle, familiar voice coming from behind her.
Voice: "...Ms. Lin."
It's Ye Lan.
Since she was of no use here and had already been locked up by Teacher Yi, Lin Sanjiu could not see the scene behind her at all - but at this moment, she suddenly thought of something, and all the hairs on her body immediately exploded.
Come on.
...The reason why Ye Lan mistakenly thought that Room 101 was the so-called "student door" was because Room 101 was empty. However, he opened the door directly after knocking on the door and entered, so Room 101 appeared.
Empty state - that is to say, if he had waited a little longer after knocking on the door, someone might have answered the door...
But Ye Lan didn't wait, he went in and settled in room 101.
In this sense, he and Reva were doing the same thing - regardless of whether they were still alive at the time, they still "lived" in the apartment.
"Ms. Lin, did you hear me?" Ye Lan's voice echoed softly in the corridor, sounding as if she was getting closer and closer to her step by step, "I seem to have found a way out...
Do you want to come and take a look?"
...Lin Sanjiu will never forget that he has knocked on the door of Room 101 twice.
Suddenly it appeared from her left hand, followed by a fierce wind that swept towards the source of the sound; she used a lot of strength this time, but when the blow that was enough to shatter half the building dissipated
After that, Ye Lan's voice rang quietly next to her ears.
"Ms. Lin, why don't you turn around?"
When he said these words, there was no airflow in the air. (To be continued.)
ps: Guilty Dream, your He Shi Bi comes too often. I feel like I have run out of words of gratitude. What can I say next to express my feeling of "nothing can be repaid for a great favor"?
!The debt is as high as a mountain... In the end, all I can say is a slightly pale thank you. I am really touched...
I saw someone in the comments saying that 39 has been a bit timid recently, hahaha, you never thought that the way she left the game is truly fearless, hahahaha - of course I am a good dog who doesn't give out spoilers.
Recently, I wanted to write a thriller, but it never reached the level I wanted, so I was a bit dissatisfied. If I didn’t have to rush to update daily, the atmosphere would probably be more charming(?)...
