Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Price of Occupancy
"It's finally here!"
Gao Sen's tone was a little excited, and his originally gloomy expression suddenly lit up, and he rushed directly to the entrance of the apartment building, and the tired look on the faces of the other people who was traveling with him was also swept away. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The reason why everyone has this expression is because at first, the apartment building that does not seem to be very far away from everyone realizes the true meaning of the word "thousands of miles away" when they actually pursue it.
Sometimes the appearance you see in your eyes may not be the real situation, just like walking in the desert and seeing a landmark, which seems to be very close, but in fact it just gives you a fatal illusion, maybe you will never be able to reach that place in your lifetime.
Seeing the apartment building in front of him, Meng Xin's originally frowning brows gradually stretched, as calm as him, and he was a little uncalm just now.
But fortunately, things didn't exceed too many expectations, which made Meng Xin a little doubtful at this time, whether no matter how fast they hurried, it would be such a result in the end.
In other words, in fact, the time when they arrived at the apartment was simply set in advance by the nightmare platform, not one more point, not one less point?
If this is the case, then even if they rest in place, at this time, they may not have to work along the way at all, and the apartment will appear in front of them as promised.
However, although he has this doubt in his heart, Meng Xin has no conclusive evidence, and of course he can't make a conclusion about this matter, of course, even if it's true, Meng Xin can't gamble on the failure of the mission, because it's not the time to fight hard.
"Is this the apartment we are looking for? But it looks so broken. ”
"And it's kind of weird."
“……”
Everyone said in a gossiping voice, it seems that along the way, most of the fear they were teleported in at the beginning has been consumed, because Meng Xin, a senior person, has led the way, and through his keen insight, he has avoided most of the dangers, so that they have not completely entered the environment.
This is not a good sign, Meng Xin said secretly in his heart.
However, he has no way to control the inner thoughts of the people, and he is too lazy to tell them some advice to raise their vigilance, in his opinion, the life or death of these people actually has nothing to do with him, as long as at the end of the mission, it is enough to at least survive to ensure that he is not obliterated.
As the saying goes, don't do this porcelain work without diamonds, do as much as you can, don't slap your swollen face and become fat, at the beginning of the task, Meng Xin didn't plan to ensure that they all survived to the end.
Putting away the thoughts in his heart, Meng Xin carefully observed the old-fashioned apartment building according to what they were discussing.
The apartment building does not make any difference from the surface, and the first impression is that it is dilapidated, and due to disrepair, the paint on the walls has become decayed due to wind and rain erosion, and the blue-gray color of bricks is exposed.
Looking at this building alone, there may be no other word than leaving an old impression, but no matter how Meng Xin looks at it, there is a deep sense of weirdness in his heart.
Because there are no other buildings around, all of them are wasteland, and in the middle of this so-called wasteland stands such a moving apartment building, which seems so abrupt at this time, and in the evening when it is almost dark, it is a little numbing to look at the surrounding scenery.
It seems that he is scaring himself, and Meng Xin unconsciously thinks of some terrifying decryption games.
This kind of decryption game is mainly through the given several scenes, and interspersed with various clues and props needed for decryption in these scenes, of course, in order to highlight the main factor "horror", the whole process of decryption is like showing a horror movie, so that players can't help but integrate into the game, while finding valuable clues and full of satisfaction, and being frightened by the horror picture inside, the whole process can be said to be painful and happy, which is also the attraction of the game.
The building in front of him is almost exactly the same atmosphere as the initial illustrations of those puzzle games, but Meng Xin knows that this is not comparable to those single-player games in the real world.
"Huh! There was a bright light in the windows. Someone with sharp eyes saw the lights on inside the apartment building and exclaimed.
Meng Xinwen frowned, in fact, he didn't need to be reminded, he had already noticed the light inside, in the dim twilight, although these lights were dim, it was difficult for people not to pay attention.
There was light in the windows, and it was clear that the apartment was not empty and should have been occupied before they arrived.
Of course, there is also a case, that is, the things that live in it are not people.
Thinking of this, Meng Xin was stunned for a moment, and his thinking seemed to be a little too divergent.
"There's a door here, it should open." Gao Sen shouted, for he was the fastest runner, and saw a gray shutter door embedded in the wall, which was now tightly closed.
It is said to be gray, but in fact it is more like a white door, which has changed to gray because it is covered with a layer of dust.
"Then see if you can open it." Wang Zhongming said at the right time at this moment.
Karma?
Suddenly hearing Wang Zhongming's answer, Gao Sen didn't think much about it and immediately stopped the arm he was about to stretch over, and the five fingers that were originally open were also fixed in mid-air, as if to hide this embarrassment, the palm of his hand made several claw movements in the air in a row, and in the end he still took his hand back and inserted it into his trouser pocket.
Originally, he planned to open the door, but after hearing Wang Zhongming's voice, he stopped his next move.
Let me open the door? Why don't you go?!
It's okay that Wang Zhongming didn't say anything, as soon as he opened his mouth, Gao Sen just thought about it, because Gao Sen suddenly remembered the scene where he had been in the grass before, and the scene at this time, in Gao Sen's eyes at this time, seemed to have a kind of god like the grass before, which made him discourage his subsequent actions.
Moreover, he felt that Wang Zhongming was a bit shrewd before, and he had been guarding against him, for fear of being accidentally cheated by him, and at this time, Wang Zhongming asked him to open the door, Gao Sen naturally would not comply due to inner resistance.
If the person who spoke was Meng Xin, even if he was reluctant, he wouldn't dare to disobey his wishes, putting aside his strength, at least people had saved us, hadn't they? But when this sentence came out of Wang Zhongming's mouth, it changed its taste.
After thinking about it for a while, Gao Sen smiled a little awkwardly, then retreated, bypassed Wang Zhongming, and came to Meng Xin's back, as if waiting for Meng Xin to take the idea.
Meng Xin smiled slightly when he saw this, and then a thought couldn't help but rise in his heart,
It's all human spirits!
Although this Gao Sen looked a little stunned before, he rushed to the front in everything, and it was not enough to have the lesson of the grass in front, but this time it seemed that he had learned well, and he retreated directly from the front to the back.
And Wang Zhongming on the side, seeing that Gao Sen did not play cards according to the routine, immediately his face was a little unbearable, because Gao Sen shook his ass like this, and now the person closest to the rolling shutter door has become himself.
And the smile on the corner of Gao Sen's mouth when he walked around just now turned into a mockery of him in Wang Zhongming's eyes, and he suddenly understood that he seemed to be put on a show by Gao Sen.
Damn, he must have done it on purpose.
He was going to open the door, but after hearing his own voice, he changed his attention, and he must have wanted me to get out of the stage and to see my jokes.
In an instant, Wang Zhongming's heart was full of gloom, and he glanced at Gao Sen hatefully, but found that there was no bird at all, and his eyes were even more gloomy at the moment, but he immediately returned to everyone, he didn't want to risk this.
Seeing that they were all back, Meng Xin shook his head secretly, and when they were playing tricks on a rolling door, they didn't notice another detail.
Meng Xin's heart moved, and he slowly walked to the apartment, but he did not walk directly to the roller shutter door like the two just now, but came to a window on the first floor.
Meng Xin reached out and picked up a piece of cardboard leaning against the security net outside the window, and when he saw the words written on the cardboard, he couldn't help but smile.
I saw a line of delicate pen words written in black ink on the piece of paper,
"Apartment for rent, price negotiable."
And Wang Tianming and Gao Sen, who were behind them, saw this billboard-like thing, their expressions were a little subtle, and now they also understood a little, as if they had thought a little simpler before.
They originally thought that this apartment might be an ownerless thing, just open the door and live in, but they didn't expect to have to pay rent?
Is it asking for money? Thinking of this, everyone subconsciously touched their pockets.
Not to mention them, even Meng Xin was a little surprised by this, looking at the window in front of him, it was no surprise that the person living in it should be the landlord of this apartment.
Taking a deep breath and putting the piece of paper back in its place, Meng Xin continued to reach out and knock on the glass, and it didn't take long for the window to open from the inside, and an old woman with reading glasses stuck her head out of the window.
"Want to move in?" A slightly hoarse voice rang out.
As she spoke, the old woman deliberately pulled down the glasses on the bridge of her nose and turned to look at everyone with real eyes.
"Well, we're going to move in." Meng Xin looked behind him and said, at this time, the sun was only half of his body outside, reflecting the sunset as bright as blood, and it seemed that it would not be long before it would disappear completely, and at that time, the sky was really dark, and their mission was also declared a failure.
Thinking about the consequences of mission failure, even if it is Mengxin, he will never dare to try it easily.
Luckily, they'll be moving into an apartment soon, and there doesn't seem to be a mission failure.
Thinking like this, Meng Xin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but only in the next moment, the smile on his face froze.
He took a piece of paper from the glasses old woman, a list to be exact, because it read,
Admission price: Each person must provide one human organ.
