Chapter 350

The "tick, tick" sound of water, one after another, sounded very loud in the empty bathroom. The fluorescent lamp flickered overhead from time to time, making people's vision light and dark, as if they would fall into darkness at any time.

With a tired breath, Lin Sanjiu reached out to screw the rusty faucet - she really needed to pour a little cold water on her face now; However, after "creaking" twice, nothing dripped out of the dry tap.

Raising her eyes, she stared at herself in the mirror.

In the flickering fluorescent lamp, she looked pale without a trace of blood in the mirror; The bones and wings behind him stood heavily, and most of them fell into the shadow.

"... what next?" The teacher, who hadn't shown his head for a long time, suddenly asked in a faint way.

Lin Sanjiu didn't answer.

... because she doesn't know.

A few minutes ago, she had walked through the apartment building - from the first floor, Lin Sanjiu didn't miss every tiny corner; Carpet search to the seventh floor, the apartment came to the end. The stairs there disappeared, only the old thick ceiling blocked the way like laughing at her.

The whole building is like pulling out a brick. Don't say it, there's not even a crack.

Knowing that violent destruction was probably useless, Lin Sanjiu still tried to hit the wall at the end of the corridor. The wall tiles are broken by hand and are not very hard; But no matter how many times she played, after the broken bricks fell in clusters, the exposed wall was still endless and thick, as if the wall had no end - after a few minutes, when she came downstairs, even the gap she had made disappeared, and the white and green wall was still intact.

Every minute of being trapped here, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help guessing - where is the puppet master now?

"We've been trapped for nearly three years," the girl's smile seemed to reappear in front of her, and every word seemed to be so clear in her ear: "... At first, I thought about looking for an exit, but now I see it open. Where have I been? There's no need to suffer the sin of reincarnation here, there's no danger of life, and everything... You'd better change your mind as soon as possible. Do you have a little whisky?"

Three years——

That's what the girl said. Lin Sanjiu rushed out of the door in a few steps, and reluctantly turned over the whole building again, but he still got nothing.

... sighed, and she suppressed her anxiety. Out of the bathroom door.

It is obviously an apartment building, but there is a public toilet on the seventh floor - although it is in disrepair and leaks water all over the ground, it is still usable at least.

The wooden stairs creaked under her feet. With Lin Sanjiu, he returned to the third floor all the way. The corridor was still the same as usual, only the loud music had disappeared at some time.

After thinking for a while, she walked towards the room 320 just now. Anyway, those people are one step ahead of her in the copy after all, and they may know some other news

Stopped at the gate of 320, Lin Sanjiu raised his fist and knocked several times. Dust fell in clusters from the dark gold number plate. After she took away her hand, the dark red wood door covered with dust immediately left her bony marks.

After knocking several times, the room was still as silent as death.

"Is there anyone?" She shouted suspiciously: "... I'm the man just now. Open the door!"

The voice echoed out of the corridor from afar, and no one answered; She put her ear close to the door and listened for a long time. There was only silence in room 320.

When she raised her hand again, a low voice suddenly came from the dead silence behind Lin Sanjiu's ear: "don't knock again."

Lin Sanjiu was covered with sweat and hair, and his bones and wings suddenly opened. At the same time, his body had retreated a few steps in a hurry; However, the owner of the voice did not follow up, and still stood quietly looking at her, with a pair of glasses flashing under the fluorescent lamp.

"Who are you?"—— When did you come again? Why didn't she catch a sound?

In the face of Lin Sanjiu, the thin young man reached for his glasses and pointed his hand full of green tendons at the door of room 320. Didn't answer her question: "... Don't call the door again. Believe me, you don't want to meet someone who opens this door for the second time."

"... what do you mean? Who the hell are you?"

The thin man's voice is very low and light, as if he said every word of his mouth. All afraid of disturbing someone.

"Did you just come in today?" As he spoke, he turned around and took a few steps. Seeing that Lin Sanjiu didn't follow up, he couldn't help but look back and frown. "... I came in last month and have been stuck here for nearly 20 days. My name is Ye Lan."

It seems that Lin Sanjiu is also one of the growth types who have entered the star amusement park - Lin Sanjiu is a little uncertain about whether he is a member of the growers alliance, and only nodded cautiously: "... My name is Lin. why didn't you let me knock again just now? What do you know about this amusement project?"

The thin man tilted his head. It seemed that she was caught by something in her words; But soon, he whispered, "last time you knocked here, I heard and saw you."

Ye Lan seems to be a person with little emotion, and his tone is quiet and cautious; He pointed to the stairs and said, "I was standing on the stairs... No, don't think it's impossible. In this building, no matter what kind of investigation method you have, the result is always chaotic... Just like just now, didn't you find my approach?"

Lin Sanjiu suddenly lost his shell. Her pure touch really didn't sense anything... It's almost unimaginable outside.

Seeing that the other party seemed to have no hostility, he flashed his back to himself again, and Lin Sanjiu kept a distance and followed up.

"I won't let you knock because..." speaking of this, Ye Lan seemed to be a little unable to find a word for a moment. After thinking about it, he continued, "it's because you and I don't know what's behind the door - something."

"In the past 20 days, I have seen several evolutionists in the dark... Once knocked on the door. I don't know if they met the same group of people as you met in it; but they are all like you. After searching the apartment, they often come back to call the second and third doors."

"I also understand that in order to find an exit, everyone dares not miss any clues... If it weren't for my good luck, I'd be lucky to find something wrong. I'm afraid I'd knock on the door together." When ye LAN spoke, she had come to the edge of the stairs; He put his hand on the handrail of the stairs, turned to Lin Sanjiu and said, "I found that anyone who saw the evolution who came to answer the door for the second time -"

Without saying a word, his eyes suddenly widened behind his glasses; Ye Lan's eyes turned behind Lin Sanjiu, and then his face turned white. Before Lin Sanjiu made a sound, he turned around and rushed down the stairs. I didn't even say a word——

Lin Sanjiu's scalp was numb. Before pulling out his heels, he heard a "Zhiya" door sound - the sound came from behind her, which seemed to come from room 320.

... she knocked on the door of room 320 for the second time.

A drop of cold sweat slid down her back and flowed into her spinal canal.

"... you're back. I just fell asleep and didn't hear the door." The girl's voice rang out behind him. She sounded like last time, with alcohol in her voice and laziness after anesthesia: "am I right? Didn't you find an exit?"

Holding down the impulse to turn around, Lin Sanjiu almost took a step forward with a little stiffness and straight eyes.

Ye Lan ran away without finishing her words, but this did not prevent her from obtaining information from the few words he left - "everyone who has seen the evolution of the second doorman..." - how is it, Lin Sanjiu didn't know; But she was absolutely sure that the fate of those evolutors would never be good.

... that is to say, no matter what, she can't turn back now.

Converse cloth shoes seemed to come towards her, and Lin Sanjiu was not sure; The soft carpet and the strange apartment building had made her dare not trust her five senses - she suddenly opened her bone wings towards the back, and Lin Sanjiu ran quickly to the stairs in the blowing wind, braked sharply and twisted her body again. She rushed downstairs.

In a moment of turning, the light from the corner of her eyes vaguely seemed to catch a huge, round black shadow, which had been close to the back of her head at some time, like a face; From the shadow of the round face. He also spit out a sentence: "why don't you come here? Come here..."

Covering his left eye with one hand, Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to sweep in the direction of the corridor at all, and almost rolled down the stairs; She rushed to the first floor in one breath. Seeing that there was no way to go anymore, she was as tight as a small beast forced into a corner. He glanced quickly upstairs.

... no matter what the girl is, she doesn't seem to catch up.

After holding his breath for a few seconds, the stairs were still quiet, and there was no figure coming down.

... as long as you don't see the "person" who opened the door for the second time?

Lin Sanjiu thought with fear in her "bang bang" heartbeat - after waiting for a while, seeing that there was always peace around, she carefully breathed out.

She was just in the place where she had just entered; Looking around, Lin Sanjiu felt a doubt.

... what about Ye Lan?

This apartment building goes straight up and down. There is no exit. He just ran down from the third floor. At this time, he should also be under it?

Did he stop on the second floor?

Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to come out without a sound, and walked slowly through the corridor on the first floor step by step on the carpet; However, there is no place to hide in this straight and simple corridor. A big man who was alive just now seemed to evaporate in an instant and could not be found anywhere.

"Ye Lan...? where are you?"

It was not easy to meet a normal person. Although he seems to be immoral, Lin Sanjiu still hopes to see him again - Ye Lan has survived in this apartment building for more than 20 days, and must have mastered many things she doesn't know

If there is any difference between the first floor and other floors, it is an arched and closed small hall at this time, which should be the entrance and exit. Standing helpless in the small hall for a while, just as Lin Sanjiu was going to return upstairs to see the situation, a familiar "Zhiya" sound came into her ears again.

... it was the sound of the dark red wood door being pushed open, which was unique to the apartment. At this time, it almost rang close to her side; In Lin Sanjiu's almost blank eyes, the door of room 101 opened.

A pair of glasses glowed under the light, and the thin man who had just exchanged names poked his head out from behind the door.

Ye Lan saw Lin Sanjiu at a glance, but he didn't move. Instead, he glanced cautiously at the stairs first; Seeing that no one came down, he turned to Lin Sanjiu and whispered, "I didn't expect you to be very clever! Didn't you look back?"

Lin Sanjiu's bones and wings clung to the wall and did not move.

"It seems that my guess is right. The 'residents' of each floor are really only active on that floor..." Ye Lan pushed the eye lens, "... What's the matter with you?"

Lin Sanjiu gulped down his throat.

She didn't forget... Just now she called "Ye Lan" a few times before the door of room 101 opened.

In a way, this is the first time that room 101 has opened the door——

"You... Why are you in the room?" Lin Sanjiu asked dryly, a little afraid of the answer he was about to hear.

It's not that there's something in the room

Ye Lan tilted his head and suddenly understood - he suddenly realized, "Oh", this? Room 101 is the only place in the whole apartment that can provide protection for evolutors... That is, our "birth gate". There is nothing in it, just some sofas and water, which will be updated every day. "

"How did you find it?" Lin Sanjiu stared at him without blinking, as if he wanted to find anything suspicious on Ye Lan's face - but the man's skin, hair, eyes and body looked very normal, the same as just now.

"Because... The first door I knocked on was fortunately Room 101." Ye Lan seemed to be a little embarrassed and scratched her hair. "Seeing that there was no answer all the time, I came in as soon as I opened the door. Later, I found that there was only one room in the whole apartment building, which was really empty -"

He came out, stood in the corridor, and nodded his fingers forward along Lin Sanjiu's eyes; Two rows of dark red wooden doors stood quietly on both sides of the corridor without a sound.

"Although it's quiet as if no one lives... If you knock on these doors, each of them will eventually open." (to be continued.)
