After Xiao Lan and Luo met, the two decided to prioritize exploring the environment. After all, whether it was finding clues in the game or escaping, they needed to be familiar with the terrain, all of which were based on the exploration of the environment.

Standing in front of the elevator, Xiao Lan pressed downstairs.

Thinking that there were two corpses stacked on top of this elevator, still feel a little uncomfortable, but the only way to get up and down here is this elevator.

After walking around several times before, Xiao Lan didn't find any facilities such as stairs or fire escapes here. This building is obviously unqualified.

"Ding"

When the elevator arrived, looking inside through the gate, the elevator was as old and dirty as always, and there was no one inside, but it made people feel as if something was watching.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Lan still opened the gate and entered.

Reached out and pressed floor 3.

The elevator creaked, descended slowly, and then came to a screeching halt.

Because the directions in the elevator were broken, Xiao Lan couldn't tell if it had reached the third floor. Reaching out to open the gate, the two still stepped out of the elevator.

The corridor outside was as quiet as ever, almost as old as the floors above, still uninhabited.

The more Xiao Lan walked, the more wrong he felt in his heart.

Does the door here look a little too similar? Whether it's the wire on the door, the mottled surface of the door, or the New Year pictures posted on it, it all seems to look exactly the same as the one on the fourth floor.

Xiao Lan pointed to the New Year's picture, turned his head and gave Luo an inquiring look.

Luo looked at the very faded New Year picture in front of Xiao Lan, with the corners missing, and nodded to Xiao Lan after a few seconds: "It's the same as what I saw before, even the shape of the edges of the missing corners is different. is consistent."

This floor is like a replica of the previous floor.

Xiao Lan had a guess in his heart, he greeted Luo together, and the two walked towards the 404 position.

Sure enough, there is a 404 here, and even the house number is exactly the same.

Through the tattered and cracked door, Xiao Lan saw the familiar couple inside, sticking together in a familiar crooked posture, the cultists were still holding a broken god statue in Shinto Taoism, not seeing a pregnant woman, no Know if it doesn't come out.

Xiao Lan couldn't hide the surprised look on his face. He did feel that the elevator was going down just now, so this is definitely not the fourth floor. How could there be identical rooms or even identical people?

But when he turned his eyes, he saw what surprised him even more—the mother and daughter who died before!

They look no different from living people at the moment. The little girl is doing her homework on the table in the living room, and her mother is sitting next to her and watching. The two talk from time to time, and they seem very harmonious.

What's going on at this layer?

Are these people human or ghost?

Xiao Lan frowned and looked at Luo, who was also brooding. The two exchanged glances and quietly retreated from the door.

They didn't meet other people on the way, it was as if there were no players at all.

After that, they went down to the second and first floors. They all have the same appearance as the fourth floor. There are exactly the same 404 rooms, and there are several NPCs living in each room.

Also, even on the first floor, Xiao Lan didn't see a structure like the gate at all, as if this place was just a closed and infinitely looping replica of the fourth floor, and there was absolutely no way for the players to leave.

This is an apartment with no escape.

——

On the elevator, the two returned to the fourth floor.

When the elevator was going up, Xiao Lan heard a familiar noise, not to mention a little nostalgia:

"You said! Who is that faceless old man on your phone?!"

"Oh, that's my dad..."

"Fart! Will your dad send you pictures of exercising in the gym!"

"Well, that's actually your dad."

"what?"

"It was your dad who seduced me first!"

"I fucking-"

"Ding"

The sound of the arrival of the elevator interrupted the quarrel between the two that was about to turn into a men's and women's Sanda Tournament.

The two turned their heads aggressively, only to see Xiao Lan slowly pulling open the elevator gate, and the whole person suddenly stiffened.

Xiao Lan and Luo came out of the elevator in tandem, and glanced sideways as they passed by. saw the two of them leaning against the wall, holding their heads and covering their faces, standing honestly, as if they had been swept away.

Looking at the two people who were as quiet as chickens, Xiao Lan felt a little regretful in his heart. In fact, he still wanted to know the follow-up of their quarrel just now. The content sounded very exciting.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be noisy now.

——

At dinner, there were many fewer people at the table.

Not only Meng Ze, who didn't show up in the morning, but also He Rui, who Xiao Lan planned to have a friendly exchange with, and even the pregnant woman who didn't talk much didn't come out to eat.

Apart from this, dinner time today was extraordinarily quiet.

after dinner.

After exercising in the hot temperature for a day and sweating again, Xiao Lan was ready to go to the bathroom to take a shower again.

Because of the incident with the ball before, Luo had to follow everything he said.

There was no other way, Xiao Lan could only take him with him and let him experience the primitive and inefficient way of self-cleaning. After teaching Luo how to use the shower equipment, Xiao Lan went to the next room and started to clean up.

Not long after, the water mist was also transpiring next door.

Xiao Lan looked at the super exaggerated water mist: "..."

This huge amount of steam... This guy, Luo, probably made boiling water out of curiosity, right?

Forget it, he'll be happy.

Anyway, I'm not afraid of boiling water, Luo is so solid, and it's healthier to scald, Xiao Lan starts to take a bath with confidence.

This time, there is really no small ball to harass. It seems that the children have understood that a good ghost can't fight with a stick, and it is estimated that this guy is crossed out in the target list.

Going back to the door of the room, Xiao Lan was stunned when he was about to open the door.

Because there are a pair of water-stained footprints at the door of their room.

It was like a drenched person standing at the door for a long time, but this footprint appeared out of thin air, and there was no trace of walking around.

Looking carefully at the door, there were several wet handprints on it.

Is this... a water ghost?

There was also a faint scent of washing powder in the air. This guy who was suspected to be a ghost seemed to like cleanliness.

However, how many unscientific beings lived in this building.

——

Go back to the room.

It was still early, and there was no power outage in the room, so Xiao Lan simply turned on the fan to cool down for a while.

There was an old TV on the corner junk pile, in a pile of junk that seemed to have merged with the junk. As a pauper in the new era, Xiao Lan has become accustomed to the days of not watching TV and has no intention of turning it on.

At this moment, there was a strange hissing sound in the room.

It's like an electric current, but it's a bit paradoxical, making people forget what the sound is for a while.

After a while, the TV on the pile of debris that made people wonder if it could still be turned on slowly turned on.

It was only then that Xiao Lan remembered that it was the old-fashioned kind of sound that a big TV made when it was turned on, and had not heard it for many years.

The old screen of the TV kept throbbing.

Sometimes snowflakes flicker, sometimes it's a show, and every now and then flashes a distorted face, as if something peeked inside.

The current state is obviously wrong, Xiao Lan is not interested in standing and waiting for the face in the picture to become clear.

With a long leg straddling him, he rushed directly to the TV, yanked hard at its power plug, and pulled the plug out.

However, this non-human seems to be particularly environmentally friendly, and he also has his own power generation skills.

"Zi-Zi-"

The old TV made weird noises.

Along with the sound, the image on the TV gradually became clear. A face distorted and occupied the screen. This face Xiao Lan was also very familiar with, this was the face of the mother in the elevator.

Now this face is gloomy, with a clear gray color, her mouth is wide open, and the mouth is full of indistinct darkness, which is coming towards the screen little by little.

"Uh...hm..."

Xiao Lan: "..."

Luo glanced at Xiao Lan, his eyes seemed to say again: told you to bully other people's children, let's see if the parents will clean up you now.

Xiao Lan tried to reason with her: "Sister, it would be great if you have the ability to go to a power plant to benefit the society, and you can lead your daughter to the pinnacle of her life. ?"

The female ghost on TV doesn't seem to be interested in the peak of life. She is obviously only full of enthusiasm and motivation for the activity of beating Xiao Lan.

She was still moving forward, and her hair had partially protruded from the screen, slowly swaying in the direction of Xiao Lan like a flexible snake.

Seeing that it was useless to convince people with reason, Xiao Lan had to reluctantly change her method.

I saw that he took out [this is a highly poisonous dagger] from the storage space, of course not to attack the opponent, after all, this thing only works on things with physical objects.

Xiao Lan raised his hand and pried open the cover of the old TV in a neat and rude manner.

Looking at the female ghost with a little overhead, Xiao Lan showed an inevitable smile: "Today, I will let you know how powerful the little experts in the waste recycling market are!"

Then, he skillfully found the picture tube of the old TV, and then reached out - directly and forcibly pulled out the electron gun at the back.

According to Xiao Lan's experience in dismantling old home appliances, this kind of old picture tube TV uses electrons emitted by electron guns to display images. Although this female ghost does not rely on electricity, she must wait for the image to stabilize before appearing. Obviously, it still depends on the screen.

With a sound of "chi", the originally unstable picture of the old TV completely disappeared.

The ferocious face of the female ghost disappeared reluctantly.

At the same time, there is also a system prompt:

"The poverty value has increased by 0.005 million. Xiao Lan can't let go of such a small poverty value. It's crazy."

Luo Qing, who watched the whole process, couldn't help but clapped: "Amazing, sir."

Xiao Lan smiled modestly: "Life is forced, life is forced."

Accidentally passing by the door, I was attracted by the show and watched the whole Wuting: "You all did this before...?"

Luo smiled: "Is there something wrong?"

It's not right anywhere!

Wu Ting looked blank: "Big... Probably because I have too little knowledge."

The author has something to say:

Luo: A real man dares to take a bath directly with boiling water.

Xiao Lan: I dare not!

Wang Teddy: +1

Wang Ke: +2

Qi Ning: +3

Wuting: +4

Xiao Lan: You seem to have exposed something upstairs...
