Chapter 111: Calculation (1st Update)
"What is she doing?" Qian Yu glanced at the old woman and asked Zhou Jialiang in a low voice.
"I don't know, maybe I'm talking nonsense, don't worry about it for now."
According to the latest information available to Anne, there is an informant named Caesar who is currently waiting for them in a room in one of the buildings, who has been keeping an eye on the "fox" for a long time and is now waiting for the order to send someone to come and collect the net.
"Let's go up." Anne walked towards the entrance of one of the buildings.
"Wait a minute." Zhou Jialiang suddenly stopped, looked around, and then said to the cannon behind him: "The environment here is complicated, Brother Pao, you stay outside and pay attention to the movements here at any time." ”
The cannon was stunned for a moment, and then walked back very reluctantly: "Okay, okay, listen to you." ”
The old woman not far away was still rummaging through the garbage can, repeating the phrase: "Griffin has eight horns on his head, four up and four down......"
Cannon ignored her, helplessly walked to the side of the row of homeless people on the opposite street, found an abandoned wooden chair, and dusted the glass and sat down, he wanted to pass the time with Meixing through the bracelet, but found that even his address book had been tampered with, except for Zhou Jialiang's fake identity, the others were people he didn't know, he turned off the bracelet, sighed silently, and looked at the front blankly......
The narrow and mottled corridor is flanked by residents, and only a small window at the end is the only light source, so the whole environment is very dim, and if you don't care about it, you will kick the low living utensils stacked by the residents at the door.
Turning a corner from the window at the end, there was a concrete staircase going up, and on the corner wall of each floor there were floor directions scribbled in red paint, and just like that, Anne led them to the fourth floor.
The corridor on the fourth floor is even worse than the first floor, in addition to being cluttered, there are also cobwebs everywhere, probably because of the water seepage from the upper floor, so most of the flower boards and walls have been moldy, and the water seeps into the ground, forming low-lying puddles.
Straight to the left and going inside, after a while the door number of "417" was impressive, Anne knocked on the door rhythmically, the first three times were heavy, and the last two times were light.
At this time, someone inside opened a crack in the door, and after confirming that it was his own person who knocked on the door, he untied the anti-theft chain on the inside, opened the door and let them in.
The man was Caesar, an unkempt brown-haired white man wearing a white skinny stretch vest and a pair of dirty jeans, and it was evident that he usually worked out, so his figure was the kind of inverted triangle full of muscles.
After everyone entered the house, he vigilantly poked his head out to observe both sides of the downstairs hallway, and only after confirming that there was nothing unusual did he slowly close the door and hang up the anti-leech chain.
"Why are you here now?" Caesar said.
"There was zero on the road, so it was delayed for a while." Naturally, Anne walked over to the chair next to the table and sat down, looking at the few slices of pizza on the table surrounded by flies and frowning.
"Condition?" Caesar looked suspicious, "That doesn't show any flaws, does it?" ”
"Of course there are no Sakura," Anne then pointed at Zhou Jialiang and them, "They are our partners in this operation, you should already know about them, right?" ”
Zhou Jialiang greeted Caesar with a smile.
Caesar glanced at them: "Yes, but is there one missing?" ”
Anne was about to answer, but was preempted by Zhou Jialiang: "Yes, the other one didn't come because he had other things." ”
"Oh, that's right......," Caesar suddenly remembered, "yes, you sit down first, and I'll go and get what I'm going to use for this operation." ”
Taking advantage of the time when the other party left temporarily, Zhou Jialiang took a look at this room by the way, it was a typical American-style ordinary apartment, random and simple furniture, due to the limited storage space, so a lot of miscellaneous things were stacked in various corners, the two old single sofas in the middle were also full of pornographic magazines, and the ground was also full of bottles and cans, and the old-fashioned convex screen TV was on, playing an unknown black-and-white movie with a love theme.
After waiting for a long time, they didn't see Caesar come out, Zhou Jialiang and they didn't feel right, so they entered the room that Caesar had entered just now, which was a bedroom, but found Caesar lying on the bed with his eyes closed......
"Asleep? What the heck? Qianyu was surprised.
Zhou Jialiang stepped forward and pushed the "sleeping" Caesar, but there was no response, the cold touch made him feel bad, so he reached under the other party's nose and did not breathe.
He ...... It's dead. Zhou Jialiang felt a little confused.
"Isn't it!?" Qian Yu and the others followed, and by observing, Caesar was indeed dead, and Wu judged by the stiffness of the corpse that the time of death was more than twelve, that is, before the other party opened the door to them, he was actually already dead.
"It doesn't make sense...... This time is only twenty or thirty minutes at most. Wu wondered, "Could it be that it wasn't Caesar who opened the door for us just now?" ”
"Not good!" Zhou Jialiang subconsciously ran to the living room and saw that the entrance door was actually open, but Caesar obviously closed it just now, so he was on the anti-leeching chain.
Everyone hurried out to chase after them, but suddenly found that the situation in the corridor had changed radically, and the situation was like being in another world: the red atmosphere was very oppressive, under the barbed wire paved floor, there was hot lava, and the walls seemed to have been burned by flames, and the black wall skin was peeling off layer by layer, until there was a frame wrapped in steel bars, and through the gaps between the steel bars, there was also boiling lava or molten iron around it.
"Damn, it turned out to be calculated!" Anne said indignantly.
"What the hell is going on?" Zhou Jialiang asked.
"Dad didn't tell you before, in fact, the ability of the 'fox' is to create the inner world." She looked helpless, "Now, we have been imprisoned in the world he set up, and if we want to get out, I'm afraid it will be difficult to ......."
"The inner world?" Wu Ruo pondered, "Is it the inner world generated by negative emotions?" ”
"Yes......" Anne looked at the situation in front of her, helpless.
"If that's the case, we must first find out whose inner world this is, so that we can prescribe the right medicine and escape!"
"I can only guarantee that this is certainly not the inner world of the 'fox', because it is impossible for a person in the world of Shiri to use his inner world, unless he is unconscious or dead."
At this time, Zhou Jialiang said: "Let's go, let's find out the master of this inner world first!" ”
Qianyu couldn't understand what they were talking about, but in order to leave this place as soon as possible, she could only follow the others and slowly move forward into the depths of the aisle...
