Chapter 20: The Safest Place

The promenade on the third floor has a lit "emergency passage" pointing light, pale green.

The darkness was no longer as deep as gray, faintly visible, white walls, a few red "fire hydrants" at intervals between the walls; Brown woody with sticky syrupy footprints on the ground.

"The gray is gone!" Standing at the side door on the third floor, overlooking the corridor, I realized that this is "Fengxia City", which is a veritable "Xinghuacun Restaurant"!

"Lin Shufan!" The more worried I became, if the previous Trick Tower, and the related space it was connected to, collapsed, where would the things in the space go?

I subconsciously clenched the note "Lost and Found", and there was a glimmer of hope in my heart, "This note, as well as the four spirits, have all returned to this space... There is no reason for Lin Shufan to be swallowed into other spaces! ”

But the extremely distorted three-dimensional space made my thoughts shake.

All I can do is search... Like the rest of her life after the catastrophe, in a ruin, looking for her life and death are uncertain.

My heart hurts, and I shout her name over and over again. By the green light of the "emergency passage" of the promenade, the road is approaching the end.

From 0301 onwards, the doors are all open, with occasional doors, printed with wet palm prints, slender and withered...

At this time, the confusion was even worse, and I couldn't help but shudder, "Why hasn't it dawned yet?" ”

When the crisis came, in order to restrain me, the ethereal mirror corpse said "broken mirror" to wake up all the sleeping mirror corpses in this other world... And the footprints left on the ground, or the handprints on the door, were all left by the army of mirror corpses at that time.

But... It's been a long time since the so-called time, even if there is no clock pocket watch, judging from the normal physiological needs of ordinary people such as water, food for the stomach, and sleep, I have at least stayed up for more than half a day in the other world of the strange building.

The discomfort of hunger, thirst, sleepiness and drowsiness made me even more afraid of the endless dark night in front of me.

For some reason, I remembered the red moon in the night sky again.

"Lin Shufan..."Now, I don't dare to shout unscrupulously...

The voice is weak, beware of the wall with ears, seeing that it is coming to an end, my heart is completely cold, inexplicably, there are tears rolling in my eyes.

Trembling, a small piece of space around the corner 0316 has become my last hope.

I gritted my teeth and looked sideways in desperation...

The tears completely burst the embankment, just... This time, it is gratifying, and it is a real sense of "lost and regained"!

"Lin Shufan!" I screamed softly and screaming, only to see Lin Shufan, with long hair and hands hanging on the ground, sitting in the corner, although I couldn't see her appearance clearly... But the pair of cyan canvas shoes and the white antique top are indeed hers.

I stepped forward, crouched down, and helped her pull her hair behind her ears...

A delicate face... The familiar feeling is just dead, lifeless.

I tried her snort in horror... Finally sighed, "It's okay, breathing evenly, I should have fainted." ”

So, he shook her shoulder again, "Lin Shufan~ Lin Shufan, wake up..."

I only heard her snort getting worse, and I could feel that I was calling her, but it was still difficult to open my eyes.

I suddenly felt a sad pain in my heart, and I was reluctant and "blamed", so I picked her up and went to the corridor.

She was thin, light, but the arm on my shoulder was really not fleshy, and it hurt.

Regardless of whether she could hear me or not, I "complained" while stepping forward, "You say you're stupid or not?" It is the era of reform and opening up, and it also advocates 'male left and female right', which is purely feudal thinking... In the future, you will fool me with idioms that seem to be conclusive..."

When the number fell here, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, and thought: "I can't have a future, I can't let Lin Shufan take risks for me anymore." ”

So, with a slight sideways glance, he glanced at her low and slender eyelashes, and changed his mouth to "complain": "Alas... In short, what if... I mean, if you have to make a choice, you have to tell me what happened... This time, if it weren't for the pages of the broken book, I'm afraid, we'd all be buried in that treacherous building..."

I suddenly felt that such unfortunate words should not be spoken, and as soon as I was thinking about how to change my words, I heard Lin Shufan crying and muttering: "Xiao Gao..."

I hurriedly stopped my steps and turned my head to look, Lin Shufan opened his eyes slightly and looked at me with a weak face.

"You're finally awake," I said, in an excited tone.

"Hmm... Just your personality of taking one step and saying three words, I'm afraid that the wood will make you say that you are alive. ”

We looked at each other and smiled, bitter but very down-to-earth.

"That's right... Just now, what happened to the page of the broken book that you said at the end? Lin tilted his head, his tone puzzled.

I looked ahead, and just as I had just organized my thoughts, I had reached the side door of the corridor leading to the stairway.

Suddenly, his footsteps stopped, and he glanced back and said, "Next... Where to? ”

Lin pondered for a moment, and replied in a firm tone: "Don't go anywhere..."

He raised his hand and pointed to the stairs leading upstairs, "This Xinghuacun restaurant, below the tenth floor, is a dining place, and from the tenth floor, there are also guest rooms, hotels and other lounges, I think, it is better to find a place to adjust the state first." ”

Perhaps she was afraid that I would be puzzled, but she added: "The most dangerous place is also the safest place... And, you must have a lot to ask me as well. ”

Our decisions coincided, so we carried Lin Shufan on our backs and went upstairs.

At her insistence, I put her down when I was on the fourth floor.

Seeing that Lin's expression improved, according to her wishes, she asked her to hold on to the handle of the corridor and slowly pick up the stairs.

At the platform where the two floors of the corridor connect, there was red moonlight, and Lin Du subconsciously looked at it, inadvertently, revealing a trace of worry.

"This moonlight... From last night... I've been there since I escaped the restaurant. ”

I paused and added uncertainly, "It should have been last night." ”

Lin Shufan just stared at the crimson on the ground, but didn't say anything, I thought, she didn't say a word, there must be something I didn't know, so I didn't ask again.

In the blink of an eye, it's the tenth floor... When you look up, there are three words "Accommodation Department" printed on the wall behind the service desk.

On both sides of the aisle, there are guest rooms, some with closed doors, some half-opened, some with false covers, and some completely open... The red moonlight sprinkled on the aisles through the open doors, virtual or real, elongating the red halos of different shapes one after another, with an indescribable depth.

On the ground, too, there are staggered footprints... At first glance, most of them start from those open rooms.

"There's no more occupants here," I said, pointing to the nearest open room.

"Fengxia City, all the 'people'... At that moment, they all woke up. ”

Lin sighed lightly and comforted me, "This is not the real Fengxia City... It's all just a space created by the mirror corpse in the shape of our world. ”

Before that, I might have suspected myself of schizophrenia again, but now, there is only anger and more confusion.

"Why?" I asked.

Lin didn't answer, but pointed to the nearest open room and said, "Let's go in and talk about it." ”

"Bang", with a soft sound, Lin Shufan closed the door.

"Shine in the Six Directions - Guard"

After Lin Shufan placed a protective psychic spell on the door, he couldn't stop crying anymore.

I hurriedly put my arm around her shoulder and comforted, "Cry... Even though I can't figure it all out yet, I know that you've endured a lot to find me. ”

Lin Shufan tried his best to stop crying and shook his head, "No... I'm just happy, happy for my uncles and aunts, my peers, and my friends who used to fight side by side. Xiao Taka... We all thought you had..."

For some reason, I felt a faint pain in my heart, "Uncle and aunt... My biological parents? And also... Same, I mean the boy who handed me the note..."

I have all kinds of doubts in my heart, not only about my own life experience, but also about my fiancΓ©e, Chen Yue, who seems to have been forgotten.

Thinking of this, I still couldn't help but be on guard, and said cautiously: "Lin... Slowly... We've all been physically and mentally exhausted, so let's... I'll get you something to eat. ”

Lin nodded sluggishly and said, "This otherworld is modeled after the human world... Food and the like shouldn't be a problem. ”

I smiled and patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry, here... I stayed for three years. ”

Opening the door and about to walk out, Lin suddenly stopped me and pointed in the direction of the end of the aisle, "At the corner of the end is the storage room... Be careful. ”

The road is quiet, and there is a turning space at the end, which is exactly the same as the design of the third floor, the door is not locked, but it is easy to push and open.

In the dim room, you can faintly see a shadow similar to a shelf.

I got closer, looked around, and recognized the general layout. Four wall shelves, two adjacent sides with toiletries, such as towels, toothbrushes, shower caps... On the other side, there are some foods, mostly stuffy but not too nutritious, such as instant noodles, mineral water, and bread and cakes packed with nitrogen.

On the other side, there are scattered things that I don't know how to classify, probably for emergencies, mainly bundled plastic bags, lighters, candles, and even bottles and cans, because the environment is too dark, the words printed on the bottles are too small for me to read.

So, I pulled out the bag and loaded it with some useful stuff.

When he returned to the room, Lin Shufan had fallen asleep on the coffee table...

There is wind outside the window, the moon is hazy, and the meaning of thinness and coolness is in full view.

I can't bear to wake her up... Pick up a bath towel and drape it over Lin's shoulder.

Maybe it was a temporary peace that made me realize that something was wrong with me...

After careful inspection and examination, I found that it was full of stains and small wounds.

So, I brought disposable toiletries and pulled out the casual clothes from the closet of the guest room for temporary changes... Then I went to the bathroom.

I'm afraid that the light will attract the mirror corpse...

As a last resort, I used the candles I found in the storage room for lighting.

When the red candle sparkles... The scene of the Lingtai flashed through my mind, and I shuddered for a while before I woke up from my fear.

Shook his head with a wry smile... Untie your clothes and step into the bathroom.

The shower fell with a cool fall, clinging to the tight, scarred skin, and I felt helplessly tears rolling in my eyes.

"Yue'er... In the end, what is true and what is false? ”

"Drop... The water that falls down the body collects and flows into the sewer.

Suddenly, the sound of clear water flowing... A scream came.

"Lin Shufan!" Shocked, I wrapped a towel around my waist and walked briskly to the main hall of the guest room.
