Doomsday Wonderland

Reference 1917

Go to sleep, everyone. I just started this chapter. I'm almost exhausted from running outside for the past two days... And there was a person who was on the same plane with me on the road who was diagnosed with COVID-19...

The NPC staggered ahead, about to slip all the way to the fart jeans, with a bunch of clinking keys tied to it. He has taken a group of four people through many passages, large and small, and seems to be walking around corners; the more he walks, the darker and narrower all around him, as if he is about to get into a mouse hole.

When he finally stopped, he couldn't help but smile tremblingly on his face.

"Did you find it?" He knocked on the wall, then raised his head and pointed to his finger. The high arched wall clings to several people and stretches out endlessly. If you look up, you will feel that you will be overwhelmed by it. The NPC waited specially before smiling and said, "This wall is the only one with a different shape and close to the edge of the building."

Lin Sanjiu looked at the long wall protruding from the round wall. The top of it was submerged in the dimness. Although it is not clear to see the details, it can be seen that it is not a horizontal and vertical line, but gradually rises higher and higher, getting narrower and narrower, until it sinks into the arch above 100 meters. Shaped wall.

"If you take a closer look," the NPC seemed to be unaware of their eagerness as soon as possible, and introduced like a tour guide: "You will find that following this wall all the way up, there is always a rough line. There is no ward in such a wide gap."

The five words "So what?" hit Bohemia's mind so loudly that even Lin Sanjiu could hear it.

The NPC tried to inspire the children, making gestures with both hands: "The thickness of this wall, the width of the gap, the overall size... can't you remind you of anything? Just a reminder, it's related to your going out."

It's important to cooperate with him as soon as possible. When Lin Sanjiu was about to deal with something, he heard a sudden "Oh!" from Bohemia's left side. He turned around and found that the former guard was enlightened: "It's an elevator!"

"Where is the ghost elevator?" Bohemia pecked at him.

"I think the elevator should be inside the wall." I don't know if this is a puzzle game, his eyes are shining, and he must speak clearly: "There is no ceiling on this wall to support. Why is it the only one made so thick? It melts into the wall so vertically, leaving a gap wide enough for an elevator. And there is no visible exit here, and the circular building is unobstructed. There is no corner to hide things, but people always have to go out...That means that the exit is hidden in a place we can't see, isn't it left in the wall?"

For the first time since getting to know him, Lin Sanjiu heard him talk like this for the first time.

Bohemia glanced at the puppeteer and consciously became a spokesperson: "Whether they rely on the elevator or the wings of imagination, anyway, just send us out, don't drag me!"

The NPC smiled and took the keychain from the waistband, approached the wall, wiped it with his hand, and the dust fell in clusters, revealing a dirty keyhole. I don't know how long it has not been used by anyone. . He put the key in and turned, and after the jerky key knocking, a door that looked indistinguishable from the wall was silently opened.

"You guessed it, it's the elevator," he nodded to the former guard, "but there is one thing you said is not accurate... The elevator is hidden in the round wall, and the one in this wall leads you to The stairs of the elevator. Go in, follow it to the end, and you will see the elevator."

Lin Sanjiu was a little startled. This wall stretches upwards for at least a few hundred meters. If there is a long staircase inside, how many steps do you have to walk? However, fortunately, everyone is an evolutionary. Apart from being a little tired, it is not a challenge.

The NPC asked each of them to look inside, but had no intention of letting them in; except for the puppet master never moved the place, everyone else saw it: the stairway inside was narrow and dark, except for the first four. The five steps were reflected in gray, and the upward stairs were all submerged in darkness. There are handrails on the walls on both sides, which also extend up along with the stairs. If it's a child or a very thin person, they can probably walk up side by side at the same time, and like the fat NPC before, not even one can fit.

"Oh, the stairs can accommodate 1.7 adults of normal size." The NPC saw that Lin Sanjiu was looking at the width, waved her hand, and told her to exit the door for a few steps, and then said: "...Before I let you go in, I will pay. There are a few last words of caution that need to be said."

If Bohemia was a monkey, he would have started scratching his head and head long ago: "Quickly say it's okay, I'm so anxious!"

The NPC thought he was very humorous and smiled: "There is no toilet in it, and it's useless to be anxious." It wasn't until Bohemia lowered his face that he coughed and shook the keychain in his hand: "Considering the discharge of the staff Security and convenience. After you go up, this door is not locked. In this way, for example, if you have something you forgot to take, or you change your mind, you can always come back down. Nothing else, this staircase There is no daylight all year round, and the door is open for ventilation, so that you can be more comfortable when you climb the stairs. We are very considerate."

"Open the door...?" Lin Sanjiu raised his eyebrows, "Not only is it not locked, but the door is still open?"

"Leave a gap." The NPC pinched a gap with its thumb and index finger. "When you enter the elevator and the elevator door closes and starts to run, I will come over and lock the door again. This door cannot be closed until it is locked."

In other words, when they crawled into the darkness one by one with their backs to the door, there was nothing behind them. Whether it was wind or people, they could come in...?

"There are quite a few patients," the NPC nodded, pretending to be serious after guessing the people's thoughts: "Because they don't have any hope of leaving the hospital through normal channels, they will start to find ways to leave using various abnormal means. Hospital. I also said that this wall is different from others. As long as someone turns their minds on this point, it is not difficult to guess that there is an exit here... even if you can’t guess, at least you know that it’s different. So, for you You must be careful when you climb up the stairs and enter the elevator. Others may come in."

"Then you still don't lock the door!" Bohemia flicked his sleeve. "Don't you care if there is a patient running away?"

"Very concerned." Until now, the smile on the NPC's face finally fully expanded: "So, you can't let others enter the elevator with you. When the elevator starts to run, if there are people who shouldn't be there... even yours Eligibility for discharge will also be cancelled."

When a few people were surprised and didn't know what to say, the puppeteer uttered for the first time.

There was a sneer on the corner of his lips, his voice was both dark and soft: "...I want to see who is willing to be a guest."

Yes, I almost forgot that there was him—Lin Sanjiu's heart that had just been suspended fell back. If the danger comes only from other evolvers, then the puppeteer is on her side, she is really relieved; even if the puppeteer’s combat power has not fully recovered to its heyday, it turns out that other evolvers can only be suppressed when they see him. .

"Ah, if it were me," the NPC shook his head, stepped away from the door, and waved for them to enter: "I wouldn't be so confident. These desperate people...Compared with the patients you have met before, yes. They are not the same, as long as they can see the possibility of being discharged from the hospital, they will fight for their lives. Moreover, they may not be able to get out of the hospital because their level is not as good as other people. Those who dare to use this method to go out should be said to be better than ordinary patients. Both are strong."

"Why can't you get out of the yard if you are better than others?" Bohemia just took a step towards the door and asked back.

"It may be bad luck, easy to be fooled, and the final task obtained is too difficult..." The NPC thought for a while, "There are even too strong, attacking the NPC, being cancelled the patient status, etc.-the reasons are various, more NS."

Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but feel weak.

"Don't say anything else," the NPC smiled, "Let's take you people as an example. If it wasn't for the special reasons that you and I both know, which one of you can be discharged from the hospital? But your combat power is poor. ?"

This "special reason that you and I both know" means that the flood disrupted the order? What did Wei Xing make with her before dying as an NPC? Or the cheating props Miya Daoichi handed her? Lin Sanjiu didn't intend to ask in depth—she wished that the sooner the NPC would let go of this topic, the better.

"Okay, then next, I wish you good luck."

Seeing the NPC's back figure drifting away, a few people stood at the door, and the former guard shuddered: "Um...My ability is average, if I put me at the end, I'm afraid, I'm afraid I can't..."

Lin Sanjiu was still worried about telling him to go to the end. "You go the second one," she ordered, and then asked: "I and the puppeteer, who is better to take the last one?"

"Of course it's an adult," Bohemia didn't give her any face. "You think, in case someone sneaks in and follows behind, the adult looks back at him, ah, that's not scary—"

It was only when she said that she suddenly realized what she was saying in her mouth, and when she bit her tongue quickly, her face turned pale.

"I'll check if there is anyone around," Lin Sanjiu pretended to be no big deal, and before the puppet master could respond, he naturally took the conversation: "Give me a few minutes..."

"The great witch asks if you can pull gum." The puppet master said abruptly.

"...What?" This was the only answer she could think of.

When talking in Bohemia just now, the great witch should have spoken out at the same time; what the puppeteer said to Bohemia didn’t seem to listen to it, but reluctantly repeated it to Lin Sanjiu. In the words of the maiden, it seems like she wants to talk to her to cover her nose: "With a touch of consciousness, one side is sucked on the door, and the other side is still under your own control. You can gradually lengthen as you go up. Just grabbed the door from inside...Why don't you even know this?"

"I will do this!" Lin Sanjiu slapped his thigh. It is really rare to hear a great witch's use of consciousness and she knows it again: "It just so happens that my consciousness has also recovered a lot. One. Otherwise, it’s inconvenient because there are people in between."

With just a few words, when she perceives the surrounding environment again, she vaguely perceives several vague and human existences nearby. This is only what she noticed, and I don’t know if there is anything she didn’t notice. She cleared her throat, looked around, and said, "Let’s go in."

Since the danger will only come from the rear, it is reasonable for those with strong combat power to be placed behind. Bohemia took the lead, and the former guard walked behind her; after the puppeteer had also entered the stairway, Lin Sanjiu was the last one to get in. She "sticked" the inside of the door with her consciousness and stepped on the first step in the dusty air.
