Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 1945: Lin 3 wine delivered to your door
Lin Sanjiu stood at one end of the corridor. The dark, long and narrow corridor in front of her stretched all the way to the wall at the opposite end, vaguely making way for a staircase.
As soon as she understood her situation, she walked upstairs and downstairs in the apartment as quickly as possible: Fortunately, the situation was better than she expected, because there were two floors on the first and second floors. The location where Room 10 should be is actually the stairwell - that is to say, there are only eighteen rooms in the entire apartment.
Among these eighteen rooms, four of them, 109, 201, 204 and 209, are being renovated. The doorways are wide open, and buckets of wall paint are piled on the dark and empty ground. No one needs to go in. Just by glancing with your head, you can see that these four houses are not connected to the exit. In this way, excluding Room 108, which has already been visited, Lin Sanjiu only needs to check the next ten rooms. Three rooms.
...However, thirteen rooms is not a small number.
Lin Sanjiu walked back to the first floor and found that the door of room 108 had been closed. It was pitch dark under the crack of the door, with no light and no shadow of the agent Xiao Xu. He was like an actor who silently left the scene after completing his task. I am afraid that even if I smash the door, no one will be able to get out.
She remembered what the agent said again. At this moment, Lin Sanjiu wanted to unravel every word the agent said and read it; because she had so few clues available now, she had to find a starting point for herself and pull out the first thread from the mess.
"He said that the apartment room where the exit was located is still occupied by people, so I have to find the exit from their home." She used Teacher Yi as an echo board to organize her thoughts: " ...In other words, the apartment room where the agent is waiting for the client cannot be the exit, right?"
Teacher Yi said "Huh" thoughtfully and said, "It should be like this."
Then next, she should try to distinguish which apartment is occupied by the resident and which apartment is occupied by the agent; if it belongs to the agent, there is no need to bother going in, which can save a lot of time.
But, how to tell the difference?
Under the door of Room 102 on her right, there was a dark shadow. It looked like someone was standing behind the door looking at her through a peephole - the same as 106 and 108 just now. .
Could this be a sign of an intermediary?
She had just thought of this when she suddenly heard a laugh that seemed to come from a child behind the door of Room 102. Then, the black shadow under the door retreated, turned around and ran away, disappearing behind the door with thumping footsteps. back.
If there are children living in it, it shouldn't be an agency... In other words, she has to judge by the sounds coming from the house?
Lin Sanjiu turned around and glanced at Room 101 beside her. There was no sound at all behind the door; the first noise she heard was just the man inside knocking his feet and complaining that the "cheap guy" was out of power - which did not prove that he was a resident here at all.
"You have already spent two or three minutes," Teacher Yi reminded, "You have less than twenty minutes left now."
“This is really annoying,” Lin Sanjiu swept his flashlight and gaze across the corridor ahead. His irritability was like a balloon that couldn’t be pressed down on the water, and it stubbornly floated up: “I’ll do it. We have things to do here, not just playing house with the arsenal."
Before she finished speaking, she felt a sudden change of heart, and simply stretched out her hand to hold the door handle of Room 101 - since it couldn't be ruled out, just open the doors one by one; wasn't the agent just unable to do anything to her? ?
However, she failed to turn the door handle.
Lin Sanjiu turned twice more, and the door lock clicked - it was locked.
"Who are you?" A wary male voice suddenly sounded in the room, "Why did you open my door?"
The person who spoke like this was definitely not an agent; Lin Sanjiu pushed hard twice, but the apartment door that was part of the copy was immune to her power and could not shake.
Is the way to tell the difference...is this?
She thought for a while and ignored the wary man behind door 101. She turned around and took a few steps to the door of room 102. When she turned the door handle, she found that it was also locked.
"No way," Teacher Yi obviously thought of the same place: "The house with the unlocked door is an intermediary and has no exit; while the residents' houses that may have exits have all locked the doors?"
That seems right. After people go home, they usually have to lock the door... If the way to identify which house is an intermediary turns out to be to see if the door is locked, it's really not good news.
Muttered a curse, Lin Sanjiu quickly knocked on the door of Room 102 several times - since he couldn't go in directly, he had no choice but to ask someone to open the door.
After the bones hit the door, making a series of crisp sounds, she finally heard a slow step approaching from behind the door, and stopped outside the door.
"Who is it?"
Lin Sanjiu was startled, her hand hanging on the door and not letting it fall again.
"My mother told me not to open the door to strangers when she is not at home." The male voice behind the door sounded like he was thirty years old at least, but it was deliberately made into a high-pitched child's voice. , dragging the words like a child, talking and sniffing. "Not even a big sister."
...Obviously he is already tall enough to see himself through the peephole.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but take half a step back.
Not to mention what was strange about the person behind the door; he refused to open the door at the moment, and she couldn't open it, so how could she get in? If she had to put in the effort to convince him, how could she have so much time? More importantly, if every household asked her to find ways to trick the door into opening...
Just when she didn't know what to do, she suddenly heard the sound of the door lock spring releasing behind her, and someone pushed the door open. She quickly looked back and found that the person who opened the door was not 101. But it was room 103.
A piece of candlelight leaked from the crack in the door; a middle-aged woman was holding a plastic bag filled with garbage in her hand, threw it at the door, and then raised her eyes, looking back and forth between Lin Sanjiu and the door of Room 102. He swept it around and then fixed it on her body.
Lin Sanjiu remembered that not long ago she heard a voice scolding a child from Room 103, and it must have been this middle-aged woman.
"You are looking in the wrong place," the middle-aged woman looked straight at Lin Sanjiu, without even looking at 102, and said slowly word by word: "Think again, are you knocking on the wrong door? ? What are you looking for?"
Every word ~IndoMTL.com~ seemed like a finger secretly poking at Lin Sanjiu's waist, seeming to silently urge her to understand her hint.
Lin Sanjiu took another step back, further away from Room 102. The hint of the middle-aged woman can be said to be clear.
102 The black shadow under the crack of the door moved, and the sound of breathing came from the crack of the door. There was a slight sound, and it seemed that the palm of a sticky hand was pressed against the door panel.
"I...I'm looking for the exit," Lin Sanjiu retreated to the door of Room 103 and looked over the woman's head, wanting to see if there was an exit in her room. "Do you know where it is?"
The middle-aged woman paused. "Are you looking for an exit? You want to go into the apartment and find an exit?"
It does sound unusual. Before Lin Sanjiu could speak, the middle-aged woman smiled, opened the door slightly wider, and took a step forward.
"The people who live in this place have tried their best to trick you into getting into their homes, and you still want to take the initiative to let you in?"
