Doomsday Wonderland

When the elevator dinged and stopped on the ground floor, Lin Sanjiu and his companions looked at each other - it seemed that they had misunderstood before.

"So it's not a mode of going down one level at a time?" She looked at the "G" on the elevator screen and asked the volunteer, "Why are we back on the ground again?"

"Oh, no," the volunteer took the first step out of the elevator and said with a smile: "Which game you are assigned to, go to the venue of the game. It doesn't matter which floor it is on."

When I stepped out of the elevator, I saw that the town in front of me was no longer the town where the blue-walled man had appeared. Lin Sanjiu didn't know how far she had gone in which direction when she was underground. Now when she came back to the surface and looked around, she found that there was a long mountain range not far away, staring at the city from high above.

It is said that the game venue is not far from the elevator. During the short journey after everyone set off, the volunteer followed closely behind them. Even if someone turned around in another direction, he would quickly ask with a smile, "What's the matter?" What?"—as if he was afraid that someone would try to escape.

In order to reassure them, the volunteers repeatedly promised: "If you lose in the next game, you will not die."

If true, that would be great. There must have been evolutionaries trying to escape before, right? The whole world has become a game field. What's the point of running out of this one?

Lin Sanjiu was thinking wildly as he followed to the door of an old-fashioned house.

"We're here," the volunteer said very politely, standing by the door and raising one hand, beckoning them through the door like a waiter in a high-end restaurant. "As you can see, this is an old two-story apartment building...this is the lobby, and the mailboxes and everything are here."

Now he looks less like a game volunteer and more like a real estate agent. "Let's wait in the lobby for a few minutes. Another group of evolvers will be arriving soon... What? Oh, yes, yes, the role you are going to play is the residents of this building."

Everyone was a little surprised. Although they are residents of the same building, people can often live for several years without saying a word to their neighbors. Isn't this a story that requires everyone to participate? Maybe everyone has their own story?

The group of five people waited for a while, and sure enough, another volunteer arrived, leading another group of people like a tour guide. There were eight people who came, and they seemed to be unfamiliar with each other. The first volunteer took out a bowl filled with notes from nowhere and called to everyone: "Come on, come on, pick one of the characters you want to play." Role."

The thirteen arms fell towards the bowl one after another like branches blown by the spring breeze. Sibaan's appearance was sometimes too much of a hindrance. Lin Sanjiu clearly saw a new girl pushing past others just to reach her hand next to his.

She finally grabbed a piece of paper from among the hands, took a step back from the crowd, opened the paper and read it.

Looked again.

...that's right.

She wanted to ask what role she got in the gift bag, but when she looked up, she found that his expression was even weirder - as soon as their eyes met, he smiled bitterly: "Sister, I didn't expect that I could avoid unnecessary consumption this time. "

Lin Sanjiu was startled, and was about to ask him what role he got, when he heard the volunteer greeting loudly: "We will introduce the roles on the way to your apartment, please follow me."

Apartment No. 1 was just around the corner from the hall. Ji Shanqing pulled her by the corner of her clothes, sighed deeply and reluctantly, and walked to the door of Apartment No. 1.

"There are two residents in Apartment No. 1," the volunteer read a note and introduced Ji Shanqing: "This is... um, Mao Kui."

This name is quite interesting——

"Palmaceae, a kind of bushy shrub... is a common decorative potted plant in the home."

……What?

The first volunteer called to Ji Shanqing and gestured at the door, "Please come to your living area and get into the role."

Lin Sanjiu was startled, and looked at the gift bag again. The latter was obviously in a bad mood, and his face turned a little green at the right time. He looked at the door with disgust on his face, and dusted it hard with his sleeve. Reluctantly, he sat down cross-legged at the door.

"As long as you don't move, it's okay to move." The volunteer reminded him and handed him a manual: "This is your role manual. Others can find their own copy in the TV cabinet."

Even so...it doesn't cost much to play as a plant until the end of the game.

"The owner of Apartment No. 1 is Barbeque Hu," the volunteer waved his hand and said, "He runs a barbecue restaurant with a bleak business. He is alcoholic, rude, middle-aged and divorced, and his behavior is unstable."

Is it okay to keep potted plants here?

A middle-aged woman with a smooth complexion walked up - although she seemed a bit older, her appearance was still delicate and had no relationship with the character of Barbeque Hu.

It is said that everyone can see the next character introduction on the TV in their respective apartments; even Mao Aoi, standing on tiptoes, can see the TV screen from the window, so the characters that have been introduced will no longer continue.

"Please take good care of this pot of cat sunflower," Lin Sanjiu said sincerely to the barbecue Hu when leaving Apartment No. 1 and walking to the next room. "I will definitely thank you again after the game."

Siba'an endured it for a while, but couldn't hold it back anymore. Before leaving, he patted Ji Shanqing's shoulder and said nonsense to the barbecue: "Your pot of grass is quite green."

Ji Shanqing was unable to speak due to the bushes, and sat helplessly at the door, looking at the backs of the group of people. Lin Sanjiu turned around several times and felt that he was particularly pitiful: Although there was no consumption, he couldn't even get in. , How uncomfortable is it to sit outside all the time?

"The owners of Apartment No. 2 are a pair of young girls in college, Jessica and Li Er. Jessica is very popular; Li Er is more introverted and is said to be a little jealous of her roommate, but the relationship between the two is still quite good. close."

The person who got the role of Jessica was an old man who was only 1.2 meters tall, and his face was by no means pleasing to the eye; Li Er was actually a young black-haired girl with a very ugly face. She even asked another volunteer in a low voice if she could play the role. You can’t redraw – the answer, of course, is no.

"Apartment No. 3 is a single old lady with a bad temper. Everyone calls her Miss Chen." With the introduction of the volunteers, an evolver who fully meets the standards of a single old lady in appearance emerges - an evolver. It's rare to age like this. On the one hand, it's due to changes in physical constitution and genes; on the other hand, many people die before they get to this point.

"Because most people are not interested in the elderly, we don't have more detailed information." The volunteer looked at the hand that Ms. Chen just raised and said, "No, you don't have a cat. Who stipulates that every unmarried elderly person Do wives have to raise cats? Every time I introduce them here, people ask if they have cats."

Ms. Chen's face was saggy and wrinkled, and her nose drooped long, making people suspicious that she was about to fly away on a broomstick. She put down her hands and entered the house, slamming the door in front of everyone, entering the character effortlessly.

Apartment No. 4 is a couple named Ah Hei and Xiao Huang - I don't know why two humans have to have dog names. The husband is a pharmacist, and the wife has not gone out to work for two years; they have a nine-month-old baby, who is said to be played by an NPC.

It happened to be a coincidence that these two roles were given to the two young fans of Sibaan; the roles they got were not far different in age from themselves, but the only awkward thing was that the girl was her husband Ah Hei, and the boy It’s my wife Xiao Huang.

Apartment No. 5 and its subsequent numbers are all on the second floor; the entire residential building is in the shape of a mouth, with a house on each side, and a small lawn in the middle of the first floor.

"The owner of Apartment No. 5 is Mr. Guan. He is in his twenties and thirties and is a middle school teacher. He is a very elegant and clean person."

The girl who pushed aside others and got closer to Sibaan walked out with a calm expression. The role she chose was pretty good, and she was even-keeled. The only regret she had was probably not being able to become a family with Sibaan.

"...Have a deep crush on Jessica." the volunteer added.

It took everyone half a second to remember who Jessica was - from the apartment downstairs, the black-haired girl Li Er laughed "Ha!" - after all, she was the one who was squeezed while drawing the note. The person who drove it.

"Sun," the volunteer introduced, "that grandma is called Nai Nai. No one knows her real name for sure. She has a gentle personality and is a bit confused. She is the exact opposite of Miss Chen downstairs."

A middle-aged man with an unattractive appearance came to read a book www.uukanshu.netｔ and looked around. "Where is my grandson?"

It's really rare to see Sibaan showing such an expression - as if someone has twisted him into a towel and he still has to keep his face polite. He coughed, put his hands into his trouser pockets, and before walking up, he suddenly leaned close to Lin Sanjiu and whispered in Lin Sanjiu's ear: "...Look at the price I have to pay now for coming to save you."

"Okay, I'll buy you two popsicles." Lin Sanjiu said with an unchanging expression.

Soon everyone knew that their grandson was five years old and was about to go to elementary school. His name was Pink. That grandma was a little helpless around her grandson, and was made to look like a garden gnome by her five-year-old grandson.

In Apartment No. 7, it was finally Lin Sanjiu's turn.

"This is the residence of Elizabeth Marga Giles." The volunteer invited her to the door of her home. "A Champa, psychic, and occultist who is good at reading tea leaves, looking at crystal balls, divination, and resolving curses. …Wait, or at least that’s what she claims. In fact, most people in the apartment think she is a liar, and the fact that she receives guests in her own home is annoying to the neighbors.”

Elizabeth Sanjiu Lin took the key and walked into Apartment No. 7 with a sigh.

The last apartment, No. 8, is the residence of a single woman, Aibi. The character is played by a thin man with a sallow complexion, but Aibi is in her thirties, a good-looking character who likes to sleep around the clock and go out at night. While listening to the introduction on TV, Lin Sanjiu took out the character manual from the TV cabinet as instructed by the volunteer.

In her character handbook, her game goals are written. Next to "Short-term goals", it is still blank for now. The "ultimate playthrough goal" is: to make everyone feel like a true psyker.

So, she is basically a liar, right?
