If Lin Sanjiu could see that young female ticket seller again, she swore that she would grab her by the collar and drag her out from behind the glass window. Then, she would interrogate her about what exactly was considered a "sightseeing attraction".
After she heard Geran's voice, Lin Sanjiu did not even turn her head. She had already unleashed a barrage of attacks. However, her ferocious attacks all dissipated in an inexplicable manner.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't even tell if she had hit anything or not.
However, when she thought about it again, even her hypersensory, which allowed her to sense her surroundings, was ineffective in this apartment building. Therefore, it wasn't strange that her usual attacks were ineffective.
"Miss Lin, why are you attacking me?" Geran sounded surprised. "It's me. I'm Geran. I found a clue about the exit. Don't you want to take a look? "
Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath to calm her racing heart.
It seemed that this thing called "Geran" wouldn't attack her on its own.
"Come on. The exit seems to be here. In any case, there's no harm in taking a look, "" Geran "chuckled behind her.
Lin Sanjiu was very familiar with this scene.
If Lin Sanjiu had the time to think about her current situation, she would probably start to doubt herself and not do what she was about to do next. However, Geran was too close to her. A dark shadow had already crossed Lin Sanjiu's shoulder and landed on the door of unit 108.
Lin Sanjiu watched in horror as the shadowy figure slowly turned its head toward her. It looked as if it was about to touch her face.
Even she couldn't tell what was going through her mind at that moment. However, when she caught a glimpse of darkness from the corner of her eyes, she quickly raised her hand and knocked on the door of unit 108. Thud! Thud! Thud!
The shadow on the wooden door froze. "Geran" didn't make a sound.
Half a minute ago, Lin Sanjiu had checked Room 108 and confirmed that there was no one inside. Soon, she heard a few footsteps. Lin Sanjiu turned her hand and a skinny man with a face full of stubble opened the door.
The man looked like he was in his forties. It seemed like he hadn't washed his face for a long time. His checkered shirt was wrinkled. His checkered shirt was wrinkled and gave off an unpleasant smell. His gaze moved from Lin Sanjiu to the area behind her, then back to Lin Sanjiu. Then, he suddenly smiled at her without any reason.
As Lin Sanjiu couldn't see what was going on behind her, she spread her wings slightly, ready to attack. Her back was drenched in cold sweat.
She felt that she had been gambling ever since she entered this apartment building.
"Tell me," Lin Sanjiu stared at the bearded man in front of her. She didn't even dare to look at her out of the corner of her eyes. She was afraid that she might see the thing called "Geran", "Geran", "Lin Sanjiu.
Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to turn her head around because Geran had told her that she couldn't look at the same apartment twice. However, this rule happened to apply to "Geran". Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath. She hoped that she could make the right bet again.
The bearded man looked at her for a few seconds. Then, he looked up and moved his eyeballs. Lin Sanjiu almost screamed when she saw that the movement of his eyeballs was very small. If she didn't look closely, she wouldn't have noticed it.
This meant that the thing he was looking at was sticking closely to Lin Sanjiu.
When he felt that half of his body was about to go numb, the bearded man finally opened his mouth slowly and laughed out loud.
"I didn't expect to meet someone with such keen senses," he stared at her and revealed a row of yellowish teeth. "I can tell you two things. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"Is there a need to say it?" Just as Lin Sanjiu heaved a sigh of relief that her guess was correct, she couldn't help having the same thought. The bearded man narrowed his eyes, perhaps because her thoughts showed on her face. He smiled.
"I don't like the tenants in this building. Other than the one time I saw them on the day I moved in, I don't want to see them a second time," he said slowly, enunciating each word. There was an inexplicable happiness in his tone, making him sound a little cruel. It made him sound a little cruel, "Even if it's someone who just moved in, it's still the same."
Lin Sanjiu's heart sank to the bottom.
The bearded man's words couldn't be considered subtle anymore. The message he gave Lin Sanjiu was that she absolutely couldn't see the face of the second tenant who answered the door. The "new tenant" probably referred to Geran, right?
Lin Sanjiu's thoughts, which had been a mess all this while, finally became clear.
If she didn't knock on the door, even if she looked through all the rooms in the apartment building, it wouldn't work. That would be useless. The only useful thing was the message given to her by the tenant after she knocked on the door. Obviously, the message would change depending on the situation of the person who knocked on the door.
When Lin Sanjiu only wanted to get out, the young woman in unit 320 told her that she had been here for three years, but she still couldn't find the exit. She also told her that "there is everything in the apartment building". Lin Sanjiu had always thought that the young woman was trying to persuade her to stay. She had never thought about the meaning behind the phrase "everything in the apartment building". When she knocked on the door to look for Livia, the old lady who answered the door told her, "The few burglars who came in over the years also escaped through the window."
If she was more daring and combined all the information she had, could she come up with the conclusion that the window in one of the rooms was the exit?
The question was, which room?
"Also," the stubble-faced man said slowly. He stared at the back of Lin Sanjiu's head as he spoke of the second matter. "I'm not the manager of the apartment building. I can't control what the other tenants do."
"Huh?"
Lin Sanjiu shuddered. The hairs on the back of her neck stood on end. Before she could say anything, she heard a soft voice beside her ear, "Miss Lin …"
As he spoke, a shadow suddenly appeared beside her ear. Like a boneless snake, it slithered up to the corner of Lin Sanjiu's vision.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help letting out a low growl. She twisted her body and ran in the opposite direction. Her eyes were tightly shut. However, she was running toward the end of the corridor. She was getting further and further away from the staircase. She was almost at the foot of the wall.
It was too late for her to turn her head. The voice of "Geran" had already followed her like a shadow.
"Quick, quick!" Mrs. Manas shouted in her mind, "There's no other way. Go into the room!"
In order not to see "Geran", Lin Sanjiu covered her eyes again. Then, she threw herself into unit 119 at the corner of the corridor. The moment she landed on the ground, she kicked the door with all her might before that thing could come in.
Lin Sanjiu took a few quick breaths and dashed into the room without turning her head back. However, there was only silence behind her. It seemed that "Geran" could not come in.
"That makes sense. If he has already become a tenant, he should only be able to enter unit 101..."
When Lin Sanjiu thought of this, she let go of her skeletal wings.
There was no doubt that Geran was still a normal person when she first saw him. He could move freely between floors and even told her about the rules of this apartment building.
"But, when and what happened to turn Geran into a" tenant "?
"I say," Mrs. Manas seemed to have recovered from the shock. Her voice was trembling a little, "I have some thoughts about Geran's death. I do have some thoughts about it. "
Even though Lin Sanjiu was already somewhat mentally prepared, she still couldn't help sighing when she heard the word "death" so bluntly.
"What thoughts?" she asked.
"Have you forgotten? No matter how strange this attraction is, it is still a part of Starry Carnival Amusement Park. " Even when Mrs. Manas didn't show her face, Lin Sanjiu could still read the information from Lin Sanjiu's consciousness. "Not only can this amusement park train Growth-types, but in every round, they only train the one with the greatest potential or the most outstanding, right?"
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment. Then, she understood what Mrs. Manas was referring to. When two or more Growth-types enter the game at the same time. The difficulty of the game was determined by the level of the person with the highest overall combat power … She had already suffered a lot when she was traveling with Hei Zeji.
"So … have you ever thought about it?" Mrs. Manas seemed to be trying her best to speak tactfully, "Before you came, he had already lived for 20 days. But, when you came, Geran died …"
Lin Sanjiu's face turned pale. Indeed, she hadn't thought of that.
"My, my overall combat ability is higher than his, so the moment I came in, the difficulty of the attraction increased?" she stuttered. Her voice was filled with disbelief. No one would feel good if they had to face the feeling of "I didn't kill him, but he died because of me", "Did I harm him?"
"You can't say that you harmed him …" Mrs. Manas sighed, "The rules are like that. He can only blame himself for not being capable enough. The problem now is … where did the difficulty of this attraction increase, and how can you avoid repeating the same mistake? That's the key. "
Lin Sanjiu stood in the middle of the room in a daze. For a moment, she didn't know if she was thinking about Mrs. Manas's words or the "Geran" outside the room.
Feeling a little lost, she tried to recall every detail that happened after she entered the attraction. She walked around the house absentmindedly.
It was a very spacious apartment with one bedroom and one living room. As if they didn't care about the space, the living room was shockingly large. It even included the open kitchen and dining room. Lin Sanjiu didn't even think about going to the bedroom. She placed her hand on the dining table, which was also filled with food and drinks, and looked at the window on the opposite side of the room.
Behind the window, there was also a realistic painting. Outside the window, there was an oriental alley with white bricks, green tiles, and red lanterns. In the drizzling rain, it looked as if one could walk into the alley just by opening the window.
"I can't think of anything," Lin Sanjiu stared at the window for a while. She felt a headache coming on and gave up, "If the difficulty increased after I came in, how would I know which part of the difficulty increased without any comparison?"
Mrs. Manas did not say anything. Lin Sanjiu lowered her head and unconsciously fiddled with the food on the dining table. Then, she suddenly realized something. Goosebumps rose all over her back.
"Why is there food here?"
"Didn't that girl say that there's everything in the room?" Mrs. Manas heard Lin Sanjiu's question and answered with a puzzled tone.
"No …" Lin Sanjiu shook her head slowly. Previously, when she opened the door to room 119, she was very sure that there was nothing in the room. The entire room was deserted. But now …
She slowly raised her eyes and looked around.
There was a pile of food and drinks on the dining table, just like the time when Geran was in room 101. When she entered the room, the lights were off. However, the floor lamp beside the sofa was already glowing orange. If someone who didn't know what was going on walked in, they would probably think that she was staying here.
Of course, the person who stayed here was the resident.
Just when Lin Sanjiu realized this, she heard a rustling sound.
Her muscles twitched. She immediately looked toward the source of the sound. The sound came from the door, but there was nothing there. She looked around twice before she realized that someone had stuffed an A4 paper under the door.
"Dear Miss Lin from room 119, nice to meet you. To welcome you into our apartment complex and to invite you to stay here permanently, we have decided to hold a neighborhood meet-and-greet for you. "
There was only one line of words printed on the large piece of paper. While Lin Sanjiu was still in a daze, she suddenly heard two more knocks. It sounded like someone was knocking on something.
Her first reaction was that someone was knocking on the door. However, when she took a closer look, she realized that wasn't the case. Stiffening, Lin Sanjiu turned her head around and saw Livia's face in the painting outside the window.
"Hey, come out quickly," Livia's face stuttered as she spoke. It was as if she was in a poorly made cartoon. "The real sightseeing area is outside the window. The exit is here! If you don't come out now, it will be too late! "
