538 Foggy London
After walking on the desert for a whole day, Lin Sanjiu finally reluctantly admitted one thing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
…… She's lost.
As soon as this thought came to her mind, she suddenly felt that she was weak for a while, and she had no strength to walk under her feet, and sat on the ground with a "bang". Through the fabric of her pants, her skin could clearly feel the scorched yellow sand, which was hot at first, but gradually turned hot.
Taking a breath and taking a sip of the mineral water in her hand, Lin Sanjiu looked up again - despite this action, she had done it countless times in the past day.
Two days earlier, she had escaped from the mountains with Bohemia, and not long after her escape, she had come to this desert. Then it stands to reason that the mountains and forests should not be far away, at least at the end of her gaze, on the horizon of the desert, there should be some faint shadows of mountains.
However, the terrain of God's love simply doesn't make any sense.
She walked for a long time in the direction where she was separated from the gift bag in her memory, and as far as her eyes could see, there was still only yellow sand, and there was no trace of mountains and forests - in fact, even if she suddenly stepped into the sea with her next foot, I am afraid that Lin Sanjiu would not be surprised at this time.
Fortunately, although Ji Shanqing was not found, he did not see any miracles.
There is nothing left in the desert except yellow sand, and there is no basis for feeding meat people and carving statues of gods, so naturally there will be no gods. The bundle is so clever that maybe it will find out about this and go into the desert to hide ......?
Lin Sanjiu thought about it in his heart for a while, and felt that this possibility was not impossible; After resting on the spot for a while, she felt that she had gathered some strength again, so she stood up again and walked in a random direction.
The sand and dust in the air seemed to suck all the water out of the human body, and even if she drank bottle after bottle, it couldn't extinguish the dry and itchy smoke in her throat. The skin was scraped by the sand and soaked, soaked in sweat, and it was so uncomfortable that it seemed to sink dozens of pounds, and the longer it took to walk, the more people wished they could break free from this body of skin.
After an afternoon of walking and stopping, just when Lin Sanjiu was tired and tired, and her spirits were low, she happened to climb over a sand dune - at this moment, the sun was setting in the west, and the white fog above her head was gray again; By the ambiguous light of the evening, she raised her eyes and was slightly taken aback.
Beneath the dunes, a white-painted brick house stood.
The brick houses are flat and freshly painted, without even a single spot eroded by the wind and sand. It's made up of several rooms connected together, and it doesn't look like a private house - in fact, it doesn't have any architectural style to speak of, and even a public toilet doesn't seem like an exaggeration.
His eyes fell on the brick house, Lin Sanjiu didn't move, just squatted down, looked at the brick house from a distance and sighed.
How can there be a brick house in such a desert?
…… She didn't have to get closer, she didn't have to look too much, just a glance, and she guessed: this must be a copy.
"I don't have time to enter the copy now," Lin Sanjiu thought for a while, patted the sand on her body and stood up - she was still about a hundred meters away from the brick house at this time, and if she didn't want to enter the copy, she should just bypass it.
Unexpectedly, she just got together, and before she could take a step, she heard a sudden greeting from behind her: "Oh, are you passing by?" ”
Damn, in the end, I was still "caught" by this copy-Lin Sanjiu scolded in his heart and turned his gaze vigilantly.
An old man in a straw hat who looked dry stood silently in the doorway, and was now looking at her with his head stretched out, carrying a pampas fan in one thin arm, fanning himself one by one.
"Girl, are you also passing by?" Maybe it was because he saw that Lin Sanjiu didn't answer, so he asked again.
Lin Sanjiu didn't say anything, just nodded, and took two steps back.
"Come in and have a look," the old man said in a hoarse voice, and pointed to the door with a fan earnestly: "...... It's also fate to be able to pass by here, you can come in and have a look, it is guaranteed to be interesting, and the tickets are not expensive. ”
She had seen a lot of copies, but she had never seen such a begging person to go in-Lin Sanjiu raised an eyebrow suspiciously: "This...... What is this place? ”
The old man looked like a tour guide in a dilapidated scenic spot, and when he heard this, he sighed and said, "Inside this house, there is a 'famous serial murder experience game', I promise you, it's really fun!" Alas, no one has passed by this place for a long time, and it is too difficult to gather a few guests for a tour. ”
Yes, the evolutionary was either captured by the gods or killed, and there was no chance to enter the dungeon - Lin Sanjiu shook his head at him and walked away.
"Eh, this game is very interesting, it's not dangerous, and the tickets are not expensive!" The old man hurriedly took a few steps, stopped a few meters away from the brick house, and couldn't go far—the creatures of the copy probably couldn't be too far away from the copy.
“…… You should have pity on me for once, there were only three guests here today, and now there is only one left, and you can start the tour. If you don't come, they'll all disperse......"
"Three guests?" Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment and stopped. "What kind of guests are they?"
Seeing that she didn't continue walking, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up, and his tone became a little warmer: "...... The first few were all male guests, not very old, in their twenties and thirties. Two of them came in groups, and the other looked younger than them, and looked like Sven ......"
Lin Sanjiu's heart was pounding, and he couldn't help but glance at the masonry room, as if he could penetrate the wall and see if the person inside was Ji Shanqing. The appearance of the gift bag is warm, and there are people who say that he is a man or a woman, and it is possible that this old man is wrong......
After thinking about it for a while, she finally sighed and walked down the dune.
Even though she knew that the hope would not be too great, she still couldn't help but go in and take a look.
"In that case, I'll go in and take a look." Just in case, Lin Sanjiu had already pinched the [Battle Item] in his hand, "You just said that you still have to charge tickets?" ”
"That's right," the old man seemed to be unable to believe his good luck, and laughed repeatedly, "but it's not expensive, it's not expensive at all!" Costs almost nothing. ”
The brick house looks bland, even boring. Lin Sanjiu stood at the door of its glass door and asked suspiciously, "...... What does it mean to be inexpensive? ”
"As long as you give me a white thing."
This is interesting-Lin Sanjiu took out a white towel from the card library, just how much she wanted for this thing: "Is this okay?" ”
"Okay, okay!" The old man took the towel, pushed open the glass door for her first, and welcomed Lin Sanjiu in; There were no lights on, only a cool and cool gloom, and it was vaguely clear that this was a lackluster hall like the outside.
The area of the hall is not large, and there are posters hanging on the wall one after another, and the content is not clear. In the faint green glow of the indicator light, a door with the word "Entrance" written on it stood silently at the other end of the hall.
"Didn't you say there were three more?"
"Yes, once you enter through this entrance, you will be able to see three other tourists." The old man's speech suddenly became smooth, as if he didn't know how many times he had said the next introduction: "This homicide experience game, the security is very high, and the background is all from the real murder cases that have happened in the world. Once you're inside, you'll be randomly assigned to the murder case along with several other tourists. Of course, you're never going to be assigned the role of a murderer - after all, it's still up to you to catch the murderer. ”
Lin Sanjiu listened to him and came to the door with "entrance" written on it. She paused and asked, "Do I have to catch the killer to end the game?" ”
"No, no, if you can't catch it, won't this game be over?" The old man cherished the white towel in his hand and said with a smile: "Actually, this is just an experience game, you can do whatever you want in it - protect the victims, catch the murderers, visit the scenery, and even eat and drink...... It's all right, depending on what you like. ”
"So how do I end the game?"
"When the murderer is caught, or when he falls silent and doesn't commit any more crimes, the game will naturally end. The course of events in the game is consistent with history. Even if you don't catch the killer, it doesn't matter. ”
As he spoke, the old man pushed open the door for Lin Sanjiu.
"You haven't told me what kind of murder it is—"
Lin Sanjiu still had a lot of things to ask before going in, so he pressed one hand against the door; But as soon as the door opened, a cool breeze blew up in her face, like a rope of great strength, and swept her in by the waist - with her strength, she did not have the slightest resistance, and stumbled into the dim air behind the door.
Faintly, there was a "bang" when the door was closed from behind her-Lin Sanjiu hurriedly steadied his foot, looked around, and couldn't help but be stunned.
A thin line of rain filled the sky and the earth, smearing this deep blue morning into a haze. The stone road was not very smooth, and there was a shallow pool of water, which sank mud and ash. Even though it was wet and cold, the air was still filled with a faint smell of sulfur; Through the thick smoke, on the narrow walkway separated by European-style buildings, it took a few moments to faintly see a horse-drawn carriage passing by.
Hearing the sound of stagnant water not far away, three figures approached from the side and stood beside her. Lin Sanjiu turned his head abruptly, but then he was enveloped in disappointment.
Among the three tourists, there is no Ji Shanqing.
"This ...... Where is this? "A tall, long man, rolling his gaze a little dazedly; Beside him was a version that looked a little like him, but was a head shorter and a few years younger—both of them had irregular faces like potatoes that looked like brothers.
"This is 19th-century London, England."
Another young man was beside them, whispering. As if sensing Lin Sanjiu's gaze, this young man who looked like Sven immediately lowered his head uncomfortably, and said in a thinner voice: "...... To be exact, I guess it was 1888...... If nothing else, this should be the background of Jack the Ripper's story. (To be continued.) )
