Text-savvy, explore the copy

Chapter 9 Forging Knife Apartment

There were only three corpses on the entire seventh floor, which was the top floor of the apartment, and only one of them was alive.

What's very interesting is that for some reason, it wasn't until Zhuang Cai came to him that he let out a roar and slowly got up.

Although he was startled, he was surprised at the corpse that slowly got up. I had learned something just now, so I used the same old tricks to kill him.

This zombie seemed to be quite strong, and it took some effort on his part.

Same configuration, still not many clues.

However, there are indeed three rooms that are locked, and the house number hanging on one of them says it is the tool room.

This is an apartment building after all, so it's normal to have rooms like this.

"Then the question is, is there anything in the tool room? Is there anything in these locked rooms?"

After all, it is locked, and this place is called a copy, so people will naturally think so.

In fact, based on the surrounding environment, he had probably thought that the reason for the lock was that no one was in the room.

As for those that were open, everyone should have collectively opened the room and escaped downwards.

"Etc., etc."

Zhuang Cai suddenly thought of something.

He couldn't help but recall the diary in the room at the "birth point".

The protagonist in the diary had some quarrels with the administrator.

The administrator was fat and often wore a yellow vest. The client called him bald.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Cai thought of the zombie that was just at the door and was about to get up from the ground.

He is fat, bald, and wearing a yellow vest.

It turns out to be you.

He quickly ran down and turned the body over.

Looking at that ferocious face, Zhuang Cai frowned in discomfort, and used the tip of his gun to hold a piece of clothing nearby to cover his head.

Although the misery on his face was caused by himself, it's okay if he can't see it.

"found it."

I saw a long list of keys on the lining of the vest, which were thoughtfully marked.

As an apartment manager, it is normal to have keys.

Putting the key in his pocket, Zhuang Cai quickly opened the workshop according to the number above.

As soon as the door opened, there was a faint smell of dull dust inside, but it could be seen that it was still used frequently, and some things that seemed to be maintenance tools could be found.

There are also some strange mechanical objects that I can’t figure out what they are, but they seem to be very sophisticated in structure.

There was also a pile of books and papers on a shelf in the corner.

He couldn't understand the others, but he could still understand this.

Take those things over and look through them next to each other in the corridor, lest the eyeless corpse get up and sneak up on you.

Many of them were covered with dust, and some even had green mold spots.

"It's quite humid."

Look at some introductory text in the magazine.

Zhuang Cai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Is it so advanced?"

In addition to some papers, you can also see some merchandise magazines in the pile of things in your hands.

The products in these product magazines are all kinds of relatively sophisticated mechanical items, which look like steampunk-style works of art.

But judging from the products in this magazine, it should definitely exist.

For example, he cannot understand a purely mechanical bird. The above description is a toy to accompany children.

It's the kind that can really fly, and it can also be wound up.

So weird.

Just like fantasy works.

You can also see some power cars, which have sophisticated mechanical structures and use a power fuel called "kerosene".

Obviously it is not the same thing as kerosene in reality.

After getting addicted to novelty in these shopping magazines, Zhuang Cai finally found something useful.     A poster.

And it's a poster promoting this apartment building, which is called "Forging Knife Apartment".

What kind of strange name is this?

[Letter Proficiency] Zhuang Cai has used this ability for a day or two, so he probably has a certain understanding of it.

That is to translate it. If it is a word in the language he originally knew, it will be translated accordingly.

But sometimes there are some proper nouns unique to civilization, which can only express one meaning to him.

But if he really wanted to translate it, he could only combine a word specifically for this word.

For example, xxx is a certain kind of animal, but the earth obviously does not have it, so naturally there is no corresponding name.

Zhuang Cai's knowledge of words can express it to him, which in the current text context represents an animal.

It can even help him understand the approximate size of the animal or some of its characteristics.

If Zhuangcai gives it a name in this case, it will be able to correspond.

So the forging knife in this "Knife Forging Apartment" means forging swords, which is a very straightforward translation.

Looking at the promotional picture on the poster, it clearly shows the simple structure of this building, some living comfort levels, and some selling points.

After all, it is a poster, so it is naturally meant to brag.

After understanding it, I took another one and finally saw something more useful. This was obviously a brief overview of the entire apartment.

The drawing method of perspective structural sketch is used, and the structure of the entire building can be seen through the analysis of each perspective.

After completely reading this large pile of paper documents, he finally understood.

The entire apartment belonged entirely to a man named Pluto, who was a craftsman.

And it's a relatively well-known one, at least in this city.

On the far left side of the first floor, there is a separate room where the two largest rooms are combined, which is his residence. He even built a basement dedicated to this large room.

The home of a well-known craftsman must be rewarding, right? Mark it.

Fold the analysis drawing and put it in your pocket. Zhuang Caicai took the key and unlocked the other two doors.

Open one of them.

After observing it, I walked in.

I don’t know if it’s because it’s locked, but this room is not very dirty, it’s even very clean, as if someone was still living in it yesterday or the day before.

Then I saw the plates, knives and forks on the table. The knives and forks were placed like that, and there was even unfinished food on the plates.

"There won't be anyone else, right?"

Zhuang Cai frowned and immediately became alert.

The dungeon guide has said that there is not a single living person in this world, they are all corpses.

There shouldn't be anything wrong with this, right?

This kind of room is a relatively large one.

He had seen the anatomy diagram. In addition to a living room, a bedroom, and a toilet, it was at least twice the size of the room at the birth point.

After carefully walking around and making sure that there was no one, no body or even blood, Zhuang Cai nodded with peace of mind.

Look at the remaining traces on the table.

Zhuang Cai came to the door.

Looking at the shoes placed in the center, it was obvious that they were meant to be worn, as were the clothes and hats hanging next to them.

Even the keys on the shoe cabinet.

I took the key and tried it, no problem.

Only then did he react.

"What secret room murder mystery?"

Someone disappeared out of thin air in this room because the house was locked from the inside.

The key to the door, the clothes, shoes and hats all prove this.
