What happened next was all shattered into a chaotic cloud of light and shadow.

…… Vaguely, someone seemed to be laughing loudly, someone was surprised to say something, and someone was muttering as if chanting, like talking, like singing...... Light, all kinds of light, flashed through all kinds of darkness, and the small and messy scenes hit the eyeballs like a montage—

When Lin Sanjiu finally came back to his senses, the miserable white moonlight sprinkled on his shoulders. I don't know when, and I don't know how, she was already outside the residential building.

"Hurry, hurry, sister," Ji Shanqing dragged her forward with one hand, so fast that Lin Sanjiu felt as if he was about to fall to the ground at any time: "...... We don't have much time! ”

The lungs were as uncomfortable as being roasted on a fire, just in order not to fall behind, Lin Sanjiu had to grit his teeth and persevere-it wasn't until Ji Shanqing took her into a residential building after looking back a few times that she took advantage of the gap between the two of them to slow down and took a few breaths, and glanced at the girl who had been following the two of them since just now.

"This ...... What's going on? ”

"Didn't you see it just now?" As soon as he entered the corridor, Ji Shanqing immediately lowered his voice. There was also a heavy gasp between the lines, as if he had just experienced a great attrition.

It's just that he seems to have misunderstood the meaning of Lin Sanjiu's question: "...... The woman suddenly attacked us, and I found the right time to launch the [Economic Bubble], so that her most powerful blow hit the other bald head - but he didn't seem to be seriously injured, and I don't think it would be a while for them. It's going to catch up again. ”

With the light in his hand, Lin Sanjiu narrowed his eyes.

In her vague vision, she found that Ji Shanqing's shoulders and back had been attacked several times, and his coat was deeply torn apart as if it had been torn by something, but through the layers of broken clothes, his skin could never be seen.

"It's okay, I'm a gift bag," even if he didn't look back, he seemed to sense Lin Sanjiu's gaze, "...... It's just a little bit of the outer packaging that is broken. It doesn't affect me. ”

She nodded a little dazedly.

"Thanks to you just now." The strange girl took a step forward and walked shoulder to shoulder with her through the narrow hallway. "If he hadn't dragged those two demons and created a chance for me to escape, I'm afraid I would have ended up with the same fate as Sister Cui."

[Ability Polish] was held in Ji Shanqing's arms. The light that shines through is misty. One is bright and one is gone; But even in such a dimly lit environment. Lin Sanjiu still saw the girl's appearance clearly.

Under her smooth black hair, her fair face is as soft as a summer lake. In terms of facial features, maybe she is not very beautiful. However, her eyebrows and eyes are very clear and comfortable, and there is a soft and moist sweetness in her temperament, which makes people willing to linger on her face for a long time.

For the sake of politeness, Lin Sanjiu quickly turned his gaze away: "Do you know who that man and woman are?" ”

Without waiting for the girl to speak, Ji Shanqing replied first: "I don't know." But I have an idea—"

"What?" The girl asked, tilting her head.

Ji Shanqing was silent for a while and did not answer. He walked ahead without looking back, and lightly checked every door he passed, not knowing what he was looking for; After a while, when Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but want to ask, he suddenly sighed: "Forget it—there are still a lot of things that can't be explained in my guess, let me figure it out." ”

The girl sighed, leaned over to Lin Sanjiu, and whispered to her, "I don't know why your friend brought us back again." I really don't want to go back to these buildings. ”

When her words fell, Ji Shanqing happened to stop in front of a door. Glancing back at the two of them, he didn't explain, just bent down and aimed the light of the [Ability Polish] at the door lock.

Although it was only the first time they met, Lin Sanjiu inexplicably had a faint sense of intimacy with this girl, as if he was very familiar with her; With some comfort, she nodded at the girl, turned her head and asked, "...... What are you doing? ”

With a "click", the door lock that had just been opened by Ji Shanqing responded to this question for him.

"I'll go in first," he pulled open the door and cautiously stepped inside, "...... The best place to hide a drop of water is the sea. It's not the sea, but if you hide in, those two won't find us so easily. ”

"Isn't the door locked?" Lin Sanjiu took the girl's hand and followed in a little panic.

"It looks like it's not locked, probably because the people who closed the door were in too much of a hurry." Ji Shanqing replied as he carefully raised the [Ability Polish], and the silver-white light broke free from the restraints, illuminating a place in front of several people.

It stands to reason that the place to enter the door should be the living room; But no one can see what this living room looks like now—because everywhere you look, you are covered with layers of cloth.

The people who lived here had a great deal of effort, and they covered the floors, walls, and furniture with all kinds of cloths, and covered the floors with quilts and pillows. The whole house looks like a sea of fabric, which would have looked softer if it weren't for the dirty and old.

“…… Don't move here, I'll see if there's anybody. Ji Shanqing instructed Lin Sanjiu and the others, and then walked into the depths of the house.

It seems that I said the same thing to him not long ago...... Lin Sanjiu thought in a trance.

She didn't know why her legs were weak for a while, as if she had been running violently for a long time; By the time she reacted, she was already crouching on the ground.

"Just let him go in alone, can you rest assured?" The girl also squatted down and asked softly.

Lin Sanjiu shook his head blankly, not understanding what she meant, and the girl glanced at her. I won't continue to ask.

Ji Shanqing went and didn't come back for a long, long time; After the two of them waited in silence for a long time, Lin Sanjiu suddenly turned his head and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Does the name still make sense?" The girl sighed and smiled at her, "You can call me whatever you want." ”

So what should I call her? Lin Sanjiu frowned and thought.

In the dusty air, her thought process seemed to have lasted for an eternity.

Finally, Ji Shanqing's sudden footsteps interrupted her thoughts—it was like a thunderbolt sounding in the air that exploded in her ears, Lin Sanjiu's body was shocked, and he hurriedly stood up.

"I've seen it, and there's no one in it." Ji Shanqing, who came out again, looked faintly tired for some reason: "Let's hide here first-sister, you sit down first." I'm going to lock the door. ”

Just took two steps. He turned to the two of them with a serious expression and said, "...... No matter what's going on outside, you can't make a sound, okay? ”

The girl next to him nodded, and saw him turn away. Immediately asked softly in Lin Sanjiu's ear, "...... Is there really no one in the back room? ”

She was stunned for a moment.

"What do you mean?"

Ji Shanqing, who was locking the door, raised his head. Something seems to have been said. However, Lin Sanjiu didn't hear clearly; Because the girl was at the same time, she whispered to her, "...... I seemed to have seen a figure walking through it. ”

Lin Sanjiu was startled, and his heart was beating in his chest. She glanced at Ji Shanqing's back suspiciously. I just wanted to call him, but immediately closed my mouth again.

No, no, he just checked the back room, and it took so long...... It's a bit out of order.

"What is he doing in the house alone with us left outside? I don't think there's something he hasn't told you. The girl lowered her voice: "If you want me to say—ah, look! ”

As soon as he looked up in the direction she was pointing, Lin Sanjiu caught a black shadow in the corner of his eyes - the thick black shadow flashed by the door of the master bedroom, and the shadow cast from the crack in the door was pulled out of shape, but it was indeed a person.

There really are people in the back room.

As soon as Lin Sanjiu's thought floated, he jumped up at the ground—the sound she made immediately attracted Ji Shanqing's attention, who stood by the security door, stared at her a little suspiciously and asked, "Sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lin Sanjiu's eyes widened, he looked at him for a while, looked at the back room for a while, and couldn't say anything for a while-

"He doesn't seem to lock the door." The girl walked up and said softly. “…… If you don't lock the door, what if those two people come? ”

"That's right......" Lin Sanjiu was reminded by her, and also noticed the security door behind Ji Shanqing. She was right, the lock wasn't drawn, he didn't touch the burglar chain, and it still dangled over the door — "Why didn't you lock it?" ”

"Haven't I had time yet?" Ji Shanqing suddenly lowered her eyes, as if she didn't dare to look at her because of her weak heart: "You can find a place to sit down and rest for a while...... I don't think your face is good. ”

That's right, he definitely has a problem. After all, he was too young to know how to disguise himself......

Lin Sanjiu tensed his nerves and sat down slowly.

In the next second, with the sound of the door lock, the security door was suddenly opened - even though she thought she was ready, but before she and the girl could react, Ji Shanqing had already stepped out of the door and closed the security door with a "dang" sound; Lin Sanjiu had just jumped up and rushed towards the door, when the sound of the key inserting into the lock hole and turning came from the door lock.

She's locked in the house!

"Ji Shanqing, what are you doing-" She held the railing on the security door with both hands, and just scolded like this, and then heard the girl behind her exclaim, "Someone!" Then he hurriedly turned his head away.

The bedroom door didn't know when it opened, revealing the person inside - not alone. It was a silent crowd standing in twos and threes, shrouded in shadows, looking at her without saying a word.

The person closest to the door, his body moved, and he took a step out. As if he had heard some command, the crowd behind him moved, slowly pouring out of the bedroom.

"What should I do," the girl was so shocked that her tears were about to fall, and she grabbed the corner of Lin Sanjiu's clothes: "Who are those people?" ”

"Who are those people?" Lin Sanjiu immediately turned his head, and in fear and panic, he yelled at Ji Shanqing, who was still standing outside the door: "What are you doing with the two of us locked up here!" ”

Ji Shanqing didn't speak.

Through the railing, he raised the [Ability Polish], and there was a trace of bitterness in his eyes when he looked at Lin Sanjiu. After a few seconds, he said softly in a low voice: "Sister, you said two people...... Where else is there? ”

Lin Sanjiu looked at him stunned, feeling that he didn't understand.

"From beginning to end, it's just me and you......" Ji Shanqing seemed to be afraid that her loud voice would irritate her, and said softly: "I confirmed when I went in to find the key, you really have been talking to the air all the time, as if there is a third party present." But now there is no one else in this house but you. ”

Lin Sanjiu turned his head suddenly, the girl was still standing there, every trace of fear was so real; The figures that came out of the bedroom, one by one, gradually filled the house, getting closer and closer to her.

"How is it possible, you don't lie to me-"

"Sister, I know you probably won't understand, but no matter what, I still have to finish my words before I can leave." Ji Shanqing lowered his head, sighed deeply, and rubbed his face tiredly. "Nothing you see exists, and you see them because you're insane now. All the people who live in these houses are just like you...... I'm going out now, and I'm going to get the attention of the Evolvers from the outside—they don't have the power, but I'm guessing they're Evolvers—so they're not going to search for people from room to room for a short time...... Relatively speaking, you are safe for the next period of time. You can't pick the lock right now, so you might as well stay here and wait for me to come back. ”

Taking a breath, Ji Shanqing bit his lip, glanced at Lin Sanjiu, who was dazed and frightened, and said in a low voice as if talking to himself: "I don't know what the reason is, they want to keep all the incapable and mentally ill people in the house...... I'm going out this time, hoping to find an answer. But...... If I don't come back, when you hear someone open the door or call for the door, you must run and climb out of the bedroom window. ”

The gift bag was obviously also afraid, he stretched out his cold fingers that trembled slightly, and held Lin Sanjiu's outstretched hand; After a pause, he whispered.

"Sister, I'm leaving." (To be continued.) )
