499 Abnormal Pupils
After Lin Chi revealed the truth, the "Doomsday Hotel" created by Zhen had dissipated into an illusion of nothingness.
However, this apartment, which is also a fantasy, shows no signs of collapse at all, and is still exactly the same as before.
Lin Chi stood up, wiped the body of ** with the broken towel next to him, put on the gray clothes he put next to him, stood up and whispered to himself:
"It's weird."
According to his reasoning, the aborigines of this space, and the non-existent occupants of the Doomsday Inn, should be the same group of people.
In Lin Chi's opinion, this apartment should be the same as the Doomsday Hotel, a dream space created by Zhen Brain.
So the question is, why is this place still so strong, since it is also an illusory space?
Moreover, what kind of existence were those black-clothed soldiers who attacked the apartment was also a question that Lin Chi was more concerned about.
Unlike the butcher, the soldiers who attacked from outside the apartment didn't look like characters created by Jane's consciousness, but something else.
So, apart from the player, there are other guys who are "attacking" Jane's consciousness?
While thinking about it, Lin Chi turned his eyes to the hospital bed next to him, the poor woman lying on the hospital bed was still completely unable to move, her body was full of all kinds of tubes, and the internal organs that had been replaced by rudimentary equipment were slowly operating under the glass shield.
Looking at the other party's miserable appearance, Lin Chi stretched out his right hand and grabbed the iron frame on the edge of the hospital bed and asked, "Do you want to leave here?" ”
"I want to get back to normal." Jane's voice came from the speakers on the ceiling: "I don't want to go on like this......"
"Then remember what happened after you came here, and if you think of anything strange, tell me immediately." Lin Chi reminded again: "Pay attention to the 'sense of disobedience'." ”
- Although this apartment may seem to be no different from the "reality" in the game, if it is a virtual space similar to the Doomsday Hotel, it will undoubtedly have a subtle sense of dissonance.
And the sense of disobedience in this space may become the key to waking this NPC from a nightmare!
It could be that a room is too tidy, or maybe something is missing from the apartment. If you can find the oddities in the apartment, you may be able to find a way into the "upper room".
"I'll try......" Jane whispered.
"Well, I'll go look into the apartment too." Lin Chi said and asked again: "Do you have a door breaker here, or a 'master key' that can open all the doors of the house?" ”
"No, but the landlord's room in this apartment is 105 and you can look there. He probably still has the key......" Jen replied.
Even though she knew that all the occupants of the apartment except for herself were fictitious, she still followed her original thinking pattern and temporarily regarded those people as real.
After receiving the information, Lin Chi decisively left the underground ward, returned to the corridor on the first floor, and stood in front of the iron door of room 105.
When the black-clothed soldiers attacked just now, they had already used a door breaker to blast open the main door of this room, and Lin Chi stepped over a corpse that fell at the door and strode into the room filled with the smell of blood.
He reached out and turned on the light switch on the wall, and the incandescent light above his head immediately cast a miserable white glow, reflecting the neat living room.
Perhaps it caters to Jane's inner yearning for "clean and tidy", the landlord's house can be described as spotless, and all kinds of furnishings are neat, even the housekeeping robot in 2035 cannot be so reliable.
The white tablecloth on the wooden table had not a single stain on it, and the cups on the table were almost completely transparent, incredibly clean. Lin Chi looked down at the shiny floor under his feet, even the soldiers who had entered the room to search had not been able to leave a single footprint on the floor.
Looking down at the wooden floor that seemed to be a little too clean, Lin Chi immediately noticed something unusual, he turned back to the corridor, grabbed a handful of coagulated blood under the corpse of the black-clothed soldier with his right hand, and then pressed the blood-drenched five fingers on the floor of room 105.
The dark red blood stains only appeared on the floor for less than a second, and then disappeared completely as if they had been absorbed by the floor.
"What's the situation?"
Lin Chi squinted his eyes and stared at the neat and new floor, then raised his head to look at the ceiling, and was immediately shaken by the white wall.
This is obviously not normal for this to happen in the house.
Since there is a "sense of disobedience" in this room that Lin Chi is looking for, then-is this the key to breaking through this nightmare?
Thinking of this, Lin Chi began to search Room 105 as fast as he could, and began to look for available clues in this room. Then, on the wooden cabinet next to the sofa in the living room, he found a note that was less than the size of a palm.
Lin Chi sat on the sofa and looked at the contents of the sticky note paper, only to see a line of small characters written on it in standard printed English: "Room 204 is in arrears of rent." ”
"Huh?"
After finding a new clue, Lin Chi walked briskly up the stairs to room 204, only to find that the metal security door of that room was locked, and it seemed that it could not be easily opened.
- Is the key still with the landlord?
Realizing that he needed to find the key to open the door of Room 204, Lin Chi was about to turn around and go downstairs, but his body suddenly froze.
At that moment, the virtual body that received the danger signal stopped in place for a moment, facing Lin Chi at the end of the corridor, and noticed a strange picture in the shadow at the end of the corridor:
A pair of shiny leather shoes, stepping on the dirty ground at the end of the hallway, appeared on the dark trousers, the upper half of the person's body was shrouded in the shadow below the stairwell, not to mention his appearance, even the outline of the body could not be seen clearly. But just looking at the combination of shoes and pants, it should be an adult man.
Five seconds ago, Lin Chi was still convinced that the aborigines in this apartment were all fictional characters made up by Zhen Brain, and they didn't exist at all.
But now, the "person" who appeared in front of him did not look like an intruder, but a real apartment resident!
"Are you...... Who is it? Lin Chi asked tentatively.
His voice echoed through the narrow hallway, but the man standing at the end of the hallway did not answer, just turned and walked slowly up the stairs, disappearing into the stairwell.
The soft sound of the heels of leather shoes hitting the ground still lingered in Lin Chi's ears. Seeing that the other party had already left, Lin Chi, who sensed a little dangerous aura, did not rush to catch up, but just raised his head and asked loudly:
"Jen, are you there?"
"I'm here." Jane's weak voice rang out, "What's wrong?" ”
"Did you see the guy standing at the end of the hallway?" Lin Chi quickly asked.
"No, I didn't see anything." Jane replied slowly: "I only see ...... You're just talking to yourself down the hallway. ”
