352 Inside and Outside the Door

The overhead lamp flashed with a snap, and in the moment it darkened, the wooden door with the number "601" hanging in front of it turned a deep black; In the blink of an eye, it regained its old crimson wood color in the light. Due to the thick layer of ash, it looks dark and misty, as if it has faded.

In the corridor, it was so quiet that even the sound of his own blood could be heard clearly.

Lin Sanjiu's muscles were already a little painful because they had been tense.

Slowly, as silently as possible, she took a step back towards the staircase.

…… The apartment building was still silent, and she was not awakened by her step.

Already...... It's been four minutes.

Reva never opened the door again.

…… Does it take so long to tidy up clothes?

After the door of Room 601 closed, the entire apartment fell into a deathly silence, as if the whole world was left with this dim corridor and the door in front of me.

The sound of his own light and rapid breathing filled Lin Sanjiu's ear cavity. As each second passed, her heart sank again.

She raised her hand several times, but it never fell - Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to knock on the door.

Room 601 had already been knocked open by her once, no matter who Ye Lan and Leiwa told the truth, she didn't dare to risk knocking it a second time now; After waiting for such a while with a fluke mentality, her entire chest cavity seemed to be stuffed with ice, and it was cold.

Step by step, extremely carefully, Lin Sanjiu approached the staircase - she only had to reach behind her hand to touch the wooden handrail of the staircase.

…… Wrong. It seems that something is wrong with Reva. This somewhat confusing thought crossed her mind.

She had no doubt that Reva had indeed entered the ride, but as time went on, the conversation seemed more and more like she was lying to herself that she had knocked on the door a second time.

Could it be that Reva has been-?

Maybe she's trapped in this building like the girl in room 320......

Taking another step back, the bone wings behind him followed Lin Sanjiu's movements, and a "dang" sound hit the handle of the stairs - this sound quickly echoed in the silent space, and it sounded like a crisp knock on the door; In the lights that were clearly extinguished, the doorknob of 601 seemed to move suddenly-Lin Sanjiu's nerves, which had been tense for a long time, suddenly exploded, and he couldn't control himself anymore, so he turned his head and rushed downstairs.

It seems that what Ye Lan said is right-

It's the same on every floor. Quiet, silent; Only the sound of her "thump" footsteps rushed all the way down. In a few breaths, Lin Sanjiu had already returned to the first floor.

When I looked back, there was nothing behind me.

"The residents on every floor will only move around the floor where they live...... Ye Lan's voice echoed from Lin Sanjiu's mind again.

If there really is a problem with Reva. She couldn't catch up either......

I remembered Ye Lan. Lin Sanjiu calmed his wheezing. I'm starting to get a little angry inexplicably.

Even if Ye Lan is cautious and clever and has found many traps in apartment buildings, this person is too unreliable! I said that we would knock on the door together and find a way, but we didn't wait for anything. And he came back alone; With such little guts, it's no wonder that he can't get out after being sleepy for twenty days!

"Hey!" She rushed to the door of room 101 in two steps and knocked on the door twice: "Are you here?" Come out! ”

Angry questions melted into the air. After waiting for two seconds, seeing that no one answered the door, Lin Sanjiu reached out and twisted the doorknob, but found that it couldn't be turned; It feels like someone has locked it up from the inside.

The last time she walked into room 101, it was Ye Lan who opened the door for her, and she didn't remember if the door was locked at that time.

When she raised her hand again, Lin Sanjiu's bone joints paused when they were about to touch the wooden door.

The golden 101 number plate flashes with a dim reflection; There was still silence inside the door.

…… If she knocks on this door, won't it be the second time?

Lin Sanjiu was so frightened by this thought that he suddenly staggered back two steps, and then felt that she was a little bit of a soldier.

She met Ye Lan on the third floor, and then spent two or three hours together. If he had a problem, there were two things that couldn't be explained: one was that he couldn't have been on any other level; Second, there are so many opportunities to attack her, why do you have to wait until now?

But thinking so, Lin Sanjiu never found the courage to continue knocking on the door.

To be careful, she took advantage of the silence around her and quickly retreated to the stairs of the second floor; Without daring to look down, his gaze avoided the direction of the first floor, Lin Sanjiu stood on the steps and called softly, "Ye Lan? ”

Not only did the air not respond, but it seemed to stop flowing, sticking to its body.

"Ye Lan, are you here?" After a few seconds of waiting, she screamed again.

The longer there was silence in the apartment building, the higher Lin Sanjiu's heart hung over. After waiting for a few minutes, Ye Lan seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and he didn't even respond at all.

If he wasn't in room 101, where would he go?

…… Before she knew it, Lin Sanjiu had quietly broken out in a cold sweat, even soaking the back of her blouse.

She sat down on the steps a little anxiously, not daring to go up or down for a while.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Sanjiu tried to sort out his thoughts—if she thought about it from a different angle, maybe the situation was not as bad as she thought. After all, when she met Leiwa on the sixth floor, she didn't look back, and she wasn't sure that Ye Lan must have run downstairs; What if he did the opposite and went up to the seventh floor?

There are no apartment rooms on the seventh floor, and it is the closest to the sixth floor; In a panic, Ye Lan might have really escaped to the bathroom!

As soon as he thought of this, Lin Sanjiu immediately jumped up and subconsciously glanced at the stairs that were spiraling above his head.

She had already tried it with Ye Lan just now, and there was indeed no one in the corridor on the third floor; So she rushed to the fifth floor in one go. Paused on the last step.

The belt buckle used for testing last time had already been taken back by Ye Lan - he didn't tie it at that time, he just held it in his hand; If I knew this, I might as well keep it for myself.

After holding his breath and waiting for a while, Lin Sanjiu finally took a step hesitantly in silence.

The door of Room 601 was still the same, with a blank face facing the staircase. At some point, the dried wreath of flowers hanging on the door fell off half, and hung crookedly on the door, as if someone had touched it.

In this short distance to the seventh floor, Lin Sanjiu wished that he could become invisible and become invisible...... Finally after she turned a corner. 601 vanished from her view.

She had never felt the bathroom so intimate.

Panting. Lin Sanjiu rushed into the door of the men's bathroom on the left, ignoring the stagnant water under her feet, she quickly closed the door.

She didn't know what she was hiding from - she didn't see anyone in the building......

"Anyone?" When Lin Sanjiu asked this sentence, she realized that her voice was a little trembling. "Ye Lan. Are you here? ”

Except that the left and right hands are reversed. The layout of men's and women's restrooms is the same. On the right-hand side of the door is a long washstand, on which a large mirror can be pasted to the waist; On the left against the wall are several dirty urinals, one of which is filled with a dirty yellow liquid. There were also a few cigarette butts floating on the water; Beyond that were several separate compartments, the tail of which had sunk into the dim light due to the distance that had stretched out backwards.

The woman's voice slammed into the tiled wall and was pushed back, creating a faint echo in the empty restroom.

"Ye Lan......?"

The water pipes here were obviously leaking constantly, and Lin Sanjiu took two steps before his shoes were soaked.

The first gray compartment door panel was hidden, revealing only a black gap. She didn't reach for the door, but bent down to glance at the gap under the panel.

An old-looking toilet sat silently on the floor in the dim light, and no one was there.

After reading the four compartments one by one, Lin Sanjiu stopped a little dazedly.

Ye Lan wasn't here—in fact, if it weren't for the vivid memory of a few minutes ago, I'm afraid she would have thought she was the only living person in this building.

"Strange ......"

Perhaps because this continuous dead silence was too alarming, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but whisper to himself. "Where can Ye Lan go?"

It can't be a panic and run into the women's bathroom, right?

But apart from this speculation, Lin Sanjiu couldn't think of where else he could go, so he had to take a chance and plan to go to the women's bathroom again.

As soon as she turned around, a thought suddenly came to her mind, as if she ...... Something didn't seem quite right.

What is it......

Lin Sanjiu thought as he slowly turned around.

The figure of the woman in the mirror also turned around with her movements, her skin pale and bony wings. The bathroom behind him was half in the shadows, still quiet.

As she took a step, the stagnant water on the ground "crackled" and splashed a little.

Ye Lan once mentioned that behind the window of the men's bathroom on the seventh floor, a painting of the metropolis scene was pasted.

The false window was pressed against the last compartment, making it difficult to see in the darkness. Lin Sanjiu slowly approached it, squatted down and reached out, picking up a pair of gold-rimmed glasses from the corner under the window.

…… The lenses reflected a little in the white light.

Lin Sanjiu's first reaction was that something had happened to Ye Lan - but after thinking about it again, she suddenly couldn't tell if his glasses were gold-rimmed; I tried to card the glasses, and the card description only said that it was an "ordinary pair of astigmatism lenses", and did not mention the owner's name at all.

A little unsure of what to do, Lin Sanjiu thought about it with the frame, so he had to put it into the card library, and then got up and went out, planning to go to the women's bathroom opposite.

In fact, judging from the noise she made for so long a day, if Ye Lan was really in the women's bathroom, she would have heard it a long time ago; Therefore, when Lin Sanjiu pushed the door open, he actually didn't hold out any hope.

In fact, it was as empty as she had thought.

After confirming that there was no one here, Lin Sanjiu only felt a thick fatigue welling up in his heart; Since entering this amusement project, all kinds of strange things have happened that have almost exhausted her.

With a long sigh, she didn't want to go downstairs to face the apartment room by room; Lin Sanjiu simply opened the door of the cubicle, picked a clean toilet, closed the lid and sat down. Bone Wing was a little embarrassed to put it on the water tank, and it wasn't very suitable, but she was naturally in no mood to pay attention to it at this time.

Staring blankly at the slowly closing compartment door, Lin Sanjiu didn't even know what he was going to do next.

The predicament she found herself in at this time was neither intellectually nor solvable by force - to be honest, it always vaguely reminded her of Rutsuki Station.

How exactly can I get out?

If it weren't for the fact that she knew that the copy would definitely not arrange a dead end for her, Lin Sanjiu would have been forced out of balance by anxiety by now - just as she scratched her neck irritably and was about to stand up, she suddenly heard the bathroom door being pushed open with a "squeak".

The air condensed in her trachea for a moment.

The sound of human footsteps stepping on stagnant water sounded loud in the silent space - as he approached the compartment where Lin Sanjiu was, someone came to speak.

"Miss Lin...... Are you here? ”

Lin Sanjiu stared at the floor under the door panel. A pair of black flats, clearly belonging to a woman, gently came to the door of the compartment; Because the shoes were stepped on by the owner before, a little crease can still be seen.

…… It seems to be Reva.

"Didn't you say you were going to wait for me to tidy up my clothes? Why did you leave as soon as you came out? It sounded as if Leiwa had already decided that Lin Sanjiu must be here—until she called out "Miss Lin" twice.

…… Since you can come to the seventh floor, does it mean that there is no problem with Leiva?

Maybe she's a person who is particularly slow to change clothes?

As if tentatively, Lin Sanjiu responded in a trembling voice. "You...... How did you get up? ”

"You're here. Haven't I been looking for you yet," Reva replied naturally, "by the way, come out and go to the bathroom." I don't know what's going on in this apartment, there is no toilet in the room, you can only come to the seventh floor. ”

Exhaling softly, Lin Sanjiu felt that his heart seemed to be a little more stable.

Not to mention the problem of changing floors; She hadn't touched door 601 a second time, and she hadn't called Reva by name, so she couldn't have "knocked on the door a second time" from any point of view......

"The other evolutionary I met here is also gone," Lin Sanjiu said as he stood up, not understanding why he used the word "also": "It's a man, I don't know if you've seen it-"

The last word got stuck in her throat and she couldn't spit it out.

Lin Sanjiu, who was already 1.8 meters tall, inadvertently raised his head and looked at the edge above the door panel of the bathroom, and saw that a black hair was revealing from there at this time.

…… Reva wasn't that tall.

"What are you still doing in there? Come out. ”

The female voice outside the door said as if with a smile. (To be continued.) )
