Chapter 184 Strange Stairwell
The second floor of the main house of the treacherous house, inside the stairwell leading to the third floor
The style of the stairwell is not the same as Yanagihashi Pu imagined, and this starts with the structure of the second floor of the treacherous main house. As we said earlier, after they passed through the mysterious passage, they saw a hexagonal room that looked similar to the shape of the outer part of the tower.
According to the size, this room occupies most of the space in the dining room and kitchen on the first floor, and the room directly opposite should be above the living room on the first floor.
The space between the two doors on either side of the hexagonal room is determined to be very narrow, as there are no protrusions on the perimeter of the dining room and kitchen. So Liu Qiaopu guessed that it might be a stairwell before he opened the door, and now although only one side is opened, it turns out that the old man's guess is not wrong.
According to the imagination of ordinary people, after entering, you should be able to see a long and narrow staircase leading to the top, but Liu Qiaopu did not see any stairs leading to the top first, but first walked into a small room, which can almost only accommodate one or two people to stand, if it were not for the doors at both ends of the small room are open, the old man would not be able to determine at a glance that this is the stairwell leading to the third floor.
The furnishings in the small room are no different from ordinary people's homes, a small drum washing machine against the wall, a shower hanging in the corner, and a plastic curtain, and on the side of the curtain is a squatting convenience device. To be sure, it's a small bathroom plus shower room. The existence of such a room proves that there must have been a person living upstairs, and maybe they are still living there. This gave the old man full confidence, and he walked out of the small room with his hands on the door frame and into the stairwell, which was much more elaborately decorated than the outside.
As soon as you enter here, it is like entering a completely different house, and just looking at the stairs feels so orderly, clean and single.
We have previously described the decoration style of the first floor and the tower of the Strange House, with all kinds of strange wall decorations, mixed colors, exaggerated soft packaging and soundproofing, and spiral staircases painted in the same hue, as well as the close-knit rooms and colorful slippers.
In general, there are two completely different styles, one is exaggerated and bright, and the other is metaphorically good news for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder!
But it's different here, it's like a house renovated by a noble family who really likes simplicity. The light brown wallpaper is a bit more camel-colored, elegant and beautiful, and the wall is slightly embellished with a few landscape paintings in the right places. There are two windows above and below the staircase, the upper edge of the window is semicircular and the lower edge is square, which is generally the shape of an arched door. The wooden window frames are painted in the same colour as the curtains, and the color of the single curtain is perfectly matched to the walls.
Although the windows are closed, the sunlight from the outside fully penetrates into the room, and there is no need to turn on the lights, which makes people feel that the inside is bright and refreshing, which is very pleasant.
Liu Qiaopu looked back at the small bathroom behind him, it was dark and gloomy, just like the hexagonal room just now, although all the connected doors had been opened, but the sunlight outside the window still could not shine into the space behind him. It was as if one was in the depths of hell and the other at the entrance to heaven.
The old man had to be amazed by this house, if the house was designed by An Ze himself, then it can only be said that An Ze is an architectural designer hidden in his bones.
The steps in the middle of the staircase look much lighter than the surrounding color due to the sunlight, and are close to the off-white kind. There are two brown edges on either side, one of which is connected to the wall and the other side is connected to the stair handrail, which is a tan close to black, which can be roughly described as the color of chocolate.
However, the old man thought that the color here was better than the sweet chocolate color, and the railings under the handrails were neatly arranged one by one, without too much decoration, but smooth and round, and gorgeous in monotony. Liu Qiaopu stood at the door of the bathroom for two or three minutes, and he had never looked at the interior of the house so closely. The nine people behind him had already rushed into the bathroom, and if it weren't for the fact that the room was too cramped, they might all have come in.
Standing at the front were a few boys, the boys' strength was always greater, and Sister Wang and the cook led the girls to block the door outside, anxiously looking forward to the information from inside.
"Grandpa Liu, what's up on the stairs? Did you find something terrible again? Qin Sen asked, he and Lian Fan beside him squeezed their heads forward, wanting to see the situation above the stairs clearly, although Lu Haoyu was not as active as the two people in front of him, but the curiosity in his eyes was no less than that of others. His hand reached into the crowded gap, and his palm almost touched the old man's back, as if to push him forward, but it was as if he didn't have any force and was just posturing.
Liu Qiaopu didn't notice Lu Haoyu's movements, he was squeezed by Qin Sen and Lian Fan, and realized that he shouldn't stand here and observe what decoration style, but should take action. So take a few steps forward, turn back to the people behind you, and say, "Come in with me, everybody!" There's no danger here, let's go up and see. ”
His words were like a reassuring pill, the tense atmosphere instantly decreased a lot, everyone followed him to the top of the stairs in an orderly manner, they didn't want to be orderly and couldn't help it, the space inside and outside was limited to the number of people who could pass, only one person could walk at a time, and if two people were on their shoulders against the wall.
According to the order of the queue, let's roughly talk about the direction where everyone is, so that the plot will develop better in the future.
The first person is naturally Liu Qiaopu, who walks very slowly because of the medicinal effect, but his spirit is not bad. Starting from Liuqiao Pu and counting backwards, the second is Qin Sen, since leaving the place where he was hiding just now, Qin Sen's attitude has changed slightly, he is no longer hiding behind people to try to reduce his sense of existence, but quietly moving to a place where everyone can notice, and the words have gradually increased.
The third is Lian Fan, the fourth is Lu Haoyu, these two people are still the same, Lu Haoyu is much more restrained than yesterday, and Lian Fan has been reluctant to talk more since he got out of the danger in the rock cave, and his attention has always been focused on Wen Manman, as if he has a special intention for this girl.
