...If he could see the young female conductor again, Lin Sanjiu vowed to grab her by the collar, pull her out from behind the glass window, and ask her what exactly was a "tourist item."
After hearing Ye Lan's voice, in just a few seconds, Lin Sanjiu launched attacks as dense as raindrops without even looking back. However, these fierce attacks were all carried out in a kind of way.
It dissipated behind him in an incomprehensible way.
She couldn't even tell whether she hit anything——
Just thinking about it again, even the "pure touch" method of sensing the surroundings through the body has failed in this apartment building; so it's probably not surprising that the usual attacks don't work...?
"Miss Lin, why did you start attacking me?" Ye Lan's voice seemed to be a bit surprised, "...it's me, I'm Ye Lan. I found clues about the exit, you don't want to look at it
see?"
Taking a deep breath, Lin Sanjiu suppressed her heartbeat.
It seems...it seems that this thing called "Ye Lan" will not take the initiative to attack her...
"Come on, the exit seems to be over here. Anyway, it doesn't hurt to come over and take a look first." The voice behind "Ye Lan" said with a soft smile.
This scene is so familiar to her——
If Lin Sanjiu had time to think about her situation carefully, she would probably start to doubt herself and not make the next move - but Ye Lan was too close to her at this time; a light black shadow,
It had already reached over Lin Sanjiu's shoulder and landed on the door panel of Room 108.
...In Lin Sanjiu's horrified eyes, the shadow's head was slowly bending and turning towards her, as if it was about to touch her cheek.
Even she couldn't tell what she was thinking at that moment, but when her peripheral vision caught the darkness in the corner of her eye, Lin Sanjiu quickly raised her hand and knocked on No. 108 a few times.
door.
The shadow cast on the wooden door suddenly paused, and "Ye Lan" became silent for a moment.
In Room 108, which Lin Sanjiu had checked half a minute ago, and it was indeed empty. A few footsteps soon came out; then he turned his hand, and a thin man with a beard opened the door.
Door.
This man looked to be about forty years old. It seemed that he had not washed his head and face for a long time. His plaid shirt was wrinkled and gave off an unpleasant smell. His eyes moved from Lin Sanjiu's body
He jumped behind her, threw himself back at Lin Sanjiu, and then suddenly smiled at her for no reason.
Because he couldn't see what was going on behind him, Lin Sanjiu's bones and wings were slightly open at this time, ready to go. His back was covered with cold sweat.
...She felt as if she had been gambling ever since she entered this apartment building.
"...Tell me," she stared at the bearded man in front of her, not even daring to relax her peripheral vision, for fear of accidentally seeing the thing called "Ye Lan" that was "circling" beside her——
"What's your message to me?"
It's a bit funny to say that it's contradictory - the reason why Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to look back was precisely because Ye Lan once told her not to see the same resident a second time; however, this rule happened to be applied to "Ye Lan" at this time.
"Lan". Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath, hoping that she could bet correctly again this time.
The bearded man looked at her for a few seconds, then raised his eyes and moved his eyes - what made Lin Sanjiu almost want to scream was that the movement of his eyes was very small. If you didn't look carefully, you would hardly notice it.
...which means that the thing he is looking at is right next to Lin Sanjiu.
When he felt that half of his body was almost numb, the bearded man finally slowly opened his mouth and smiled.
"I didn't expect someone with a keen sense." He stared at her, revealing a row of yellowed teeth in his beard: "...I can tell you two things, which one do you want to hear first?"
Needless to say, when Lin Sanjiu breathed a sigh of relief that her guess was correct, she couldn't help but think of this idea. Perhaps the idea came out from her face, and the bearded man narrowed his eyes.
He raised his eyes and smiled.
"...I don't like the residents in this building. Apart from seeing them once on the day I moved in, I don't want to see them a second time." He finished this slowly, word by word.
In one sentence, there was an inexplicable joy in his tone, which made him sound a bit cruel: "...even the new people who moved in are the same."
Lin Sanjiu's heart dropped.
Hu Zhaman's words can no longer be considered subtle; the message he gave was clearly that he must not see the face of the second resident who answered the door - and this "newly moved" person probably refers to
Ye Lan, right?
Her thoughts, which had always been somewhat chaotic, finally became clearer now.
If you don't knock on the door, even if you look through all the rooms in the apartment building, it will be of no use. What is really useful is the message told by the residents after knocking on each door - and this message is obviously
It will change depending on the situation of the person knocking on the door.
When Lin Sanjiu just wanted to go out, the girl in Room 320 told her in a vague way that she had not found an exit for three years and that "the apartment has everything you need" - she always thought this was a word to persuade her to stay.
, but never thought about the meaning of the four words "everything"; and when she knocked on the door to look for Reva, the old lady who answered the door told her, "The few thieves who have passed by over the years have also been successful."
He ran away through the window."
If we are bolder and combine the information we have obtained so far, can we come to the conclusion that "the window in a certain room is the exit"?
The question is, which one?
"Besides," the scumbag man slowly talked about the second thing, and his eyes were wrongly fixed on the back of Lin Sanjiu's head. "I'm not the apartment manager. I can't control what other residents do.
what."
Huh……?
Lin Sanjiu shuddered, and the hairs on the back of her neck immediately stood up; before she could say anything, she heard a soft voice ringing in her ears: "Miss Lin..."
As he spoke, a shadow suddenly appeared from his ear; like a boneless snake, it crawled softly and slowly into the corner of Lin Sanjiu's peripheral vision——
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but let out a low cry from her throat. She twisted around suddenly and ran in the opposite direction. Her eyes were tightly closed; however, this time she was facing deeper into the corridor.
, getting farther and farther away from the stairs, and it seems that it has reached the base of the wall.
At this time, it was too late to turn around; "Ye Lan"'s shadowy voice had already followed behind her.
"Hurry up." Teacher Yi shouted loudly in his mind, "There is no other way, come into the room!"
In order not to catch sight of "Ye Lan", Lin Sanjiu once again covered her eyes with one hand. Then she threw herself into room 119 in the corner of the corridor. As soon as she landed, she kicked her back foot and poked at the thing.
I kicked the door hard before I came in.
After taking a few quick breaths, Lin Sanjiu still took a few steps towards the room without looking back; however, there was silence behind her. It seemed that "Ye Lan" was still unable to come in after all.
Also, if he has become a resident, then the only room he can enter should be Room 101...
Thinking of this, Lin Sanjiu dropped the bone wing in a daze.
When she first met Ye Lan, there was no doubt that he was still a normal living person... He could move freely between floors, and he told her a lot of the rules of this apartment building...
But when and what happened that turned Ye Lan into a "resident" completely?
"I said," Teacher Yi seemed to be recovering from the shock, and his voice sounded a little trembling, "I have some thoughts about Ye Lan's death."
Although she had been vaguely mentally prepared, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but sigh when she heard such a straightforward word "death".
"What do you think?" she asked.
"Have you forgotten? No matter how weird this amusement ride is, it is still part of the Starry Sky Amusement Park." Even when Teacher Yi didn't show his face, he could still read Lin Sanjiu's expression afterwards.
Get the information, "...the project in this amusement park not only trains the growth type, but also only trains the one with the greatest potential or the best in each game, right?"
Lin Sanjiu was stunned and then understood what Teacher Yi was referring to. When two or more growth types enter the game at the same time, the difficulty of the game event is determined based on the level of the person with the highest overall combat power.
...This had already caused her a lot of suffering when she was traveling with Kurosawa Ji.
"So... have you ever thought about it?" Teacher Yi seemed to be trying his best to speak tactfully, "... I lived for twenty days before you came, but as soon as you came, Ye Lan died...
…”
Lin Sanjiu's face suddenly turned pale. She really didn't expect this -
"I, my overall combat power is higher than him, so as soon as I come in, the difficulty of this ride increases?" she asked a little stuttering. Her voice was full of disbelief - this kind of "I won't kill"
"Boren, Boren died because of me", I'm afraid it would not be easy on anyone: "...Is it me who hurt him?"
"It can't be said that it's harmful..." Teacher Yi sighed, "That's the rule. It's just his lack of ability. The question now is... Where has the difficulty of this amusement project increased, and how can you avoid making the same mistakes again?
That’s the key.”
Lin Sanjiu stood blankly in the middle of the room. For a moment, she didn't even know whether she was thinking about Teacher Yi's words or the "Ye Lan" outside the room.
With a bit of confusion, she walked around the room unconsciously while trying to recall every detail that happened after entering this amusement park.
This apartment is a very spacious one-bedroom and one-living room. As if without sparing any space, the living room is designed to be astonishingly large, including the open kitchen and dining room. Lin Sanjiu doesn’t even think about it.
I didn't think of going to the bedroom to take a look, so I just put my hands on the dining table where there was also a lot of food and drinks, and cast my eyes on the opposite window.
Behind the window here, there is still a painting that looks almost like reality; outside the window is an alley with white bricks, blue tiles and red lanterns, full of oriental charm. In the drizzle, it looks like
It seems like you can walk in just by pushing the window open.
"...I can't figure it out." After staring at it for a while, Lin Sanjiu gave up with a headache, "If the difficulty has increased since I came in, how can I know where the difficulty has increased without comparison?
"
Teacher Yi didn't say anything for a moment. Lin Sanjiu lowered his head and subconsciously fiddled with the pile of food on the dining table. Then he suddenly realized something, and goosebumps broke out on his back.
…Why is there food here?
"Didn't that girl say that there is everything in the room?" Teacher Yi heard her question and replied a little puzzled.
No... Lin Sanjiu slowly shook her head. She had opened Room 119 before and when she checked the environment, she was very sure that there was nothing here - the whole house was filled with a deserted atmosphere. But now...
She slowly raised her eyes and looked around.
There was a bunch of food and drinks on the dining table, just like when Ye Lan was in Room 101; she didn't turn on the lights when she came in, but the floor lamp next to the sofa had already lit up a ball of orange light. If anyone didn't know,
When someone walks in at this time, they will probably immediately think that she lives here——
Those who live here are naturally residents.
When Lin Sanjiu realized this with a chill all over, she heard a "rustling" sound.
Her muscles jumped, and she immediately looked towards the source of the sound - the sound clearly came from the door, but there was nothing there. She looked around twice, and then she realized that someone had stuffed an A4 paper under the door.
Come in.
"Dear Ms. Lin in Room 119, hello. In order to welcome you to our apartment and invite you to officially settle in this apartment for a long time, our apartment has decided to hold a neighborhood meeting for you."
There was only such a short line of words printed on a large piece of paper. When Lin Sanjiu was still confused for a while and couldn't react, she suddenly heard two more "dang-dang" sounds, as if someone had knocked.
Knock something.
Her first reaction was that someone was knocking on the door, but upon closer inspection, it was not the case. She stiffened and turned around, Lin Sanjiu saw Rewa's face in the painting outside the window.
"Hey, come out quickly," Reva's face moved one by one as she spoke, as if it was a poorly made cartoon. "...The real sightseeing project is outside the window, and the exit is here.
!It will be too late if you don’t come out!” (To be continued.)
