War Paradise

After Lin Chi revealed the truth, the "Apocalypse Hotel" created by Zhen has turned into an illusion of nothingness and dissipated.

However, this apartment in the same illusion showed no signs of collapse at all, and it was still exactly the same as before.

Lin Chi stood up, wiped his wet body with the torn towel beside him, put on the gray clothes he had placed beside him, stood up and muttered to himself in a low voice:

"Weird."

According to his inference, the aboriginals in this space and those in the Doomsday Inn who have never appeared before, do not exist at all, it should be the same group of people.

In Lin Chi's view, this apartment should be like the Doomsday Hotel, a dream space created by Zhen Brain.

So the question is, since this place is also an illusory space, why is it still so strong?

Moreover, the existence of the soldiers in black who attacked the apartment was also a question that made Lin Chi more concerned.

Unlike the butcher, the soldiers who attacked from the outside of the apartment were not like characters created by Jane's consciousness, but something else.

So, besides the player, are there other guys "attacking" Jane's consciousness?

While thinking about it, Lin Chi turned his eyes to the hospital bed beside him. The poor woman lying on the hospital bed was still completely unable to move. Her body was filled with various tubes. The internal organs replaced by simple equipment were in a glass shield. The following slow operation.

Looking at the other side's miserable appearance, Lin Chi stretched out his right hand to grab the iron frame on the edge of the hospital bed, and asked, "Do you want to leave here?"

"I want to return to normal." Jane's voice came from the speakers on the ceiling: "I don't want to continue like this anymore..."

"Then remember what happened after you came here, and if you think of any strange things, tell me immediately." Lin Chi reminded him again: "Pay attention to the ‘feeling of violation’."

——Although this apartment seems to be the same as the "reality" in the game, if it is a virtual space similar to the Doomsday Hotel, it will undoubtedly produce a subtle sense of violation.

And the sense of disobedience in this space might become the key to awakening this NPC from a nightmare!

Maybe a room is too tidy, or something is missing in the apartment. If you can find the strange things in the apartment, you may be able to find a way to enter the "upper space".

"I will try..." Jane whispered.

"Well, I'll also go to the apartment to investigate." Lin Chi said and asked again: "Do you have a door breaker here, or a ‘skeleton key’ that can open all the doors of the house?"

"No, but the landlord's room in this apartment is 105, you can find it there. He may still have the key..." Jane replied.

Even knowing that all the residents in this apartment except herself are fictitious, she still follows the original mode of thinking, and temporarily regards those people as real.

After getting the information, Lin Chi decisively left the underground ward, returned to the corridor on the first floor where the corpses were everywhere, and stood in front of the iron door of Room 105.

When the soldiers in black had attacked, they had already used the doorbreaker to blast open the front door of this room. Lin Chi stepped over a corpse lying at the door and strode into the **** room.

He reached out and turned on the light switch on the wall, and the incandescent lamp above his head immediately cast a pale light, reflecting the tidy living room.

Perhaps it is to cater to Jane's desire for "cleanness and tidy". The landlord's house is spotless, with all kinds of furnishings neat and tidy. Even the housekeeping robots of 2035 will not be so reliable.

There was no trace of stain on the white tablecloth on the wooden table, and the cup on the table was almost completely transparent and incredibly clean. Lin Chi looked down at the shiny floor under his feet. Even the soldiers who had entered the room and searched failed to leave a footprint on the floor.

Looking down at the wooden floor that seemed to be too clean, Lin Chi immediately noticed the abnormality. He turned back to the corridor, grabbed a handful of coagulated blood under the black soldier's corpse with his right hand, and then dripped the blood. Pressed his five fingers on the floor of Room 105.

The dark red blood stain only appeared on the floor for less than a second, as if it had been absorbed by the floor, and disappeared completely.

"what's the situation?"

Lin Chi squinted his eyes and stared at the neat and tidy floor, then raised his head to look at the ceiling, and was immediately dazzled by the white wall.

This situation will happen in the house, which is obviously very abnormal.

Since there is the "sense of disobedience" that Lin Chi is looking for in this room, then-is this the key to breaking through this nightmare?

Mindful of this, Lin Chi began to search room 105 as quickly as possible, and began to search for available clues in this room. Then, on the wooden cabinet next to the sofa in the living room, he found a sticky note that was not as big as a palm.

Lin Chi sat on the sofa and looked at the contents of the sticky note, only to see a small line written in standard printed English: "Room 204 is in arrears in rent."

"Ok?"

After finding new clues, Lin Chi hurried up the stairs to Room 204, only to find that the metal anti-theft door of that room was locked tightly, and it seemed that there was no way to open it easily.

——Is the key still with the landlord?

Realizing that he needed to find the key to open the door of Room 204, Lin Chi was about to turn around and go downstairs, but his body suddenly froze.

At that moment, the virtual body that received the danger signal stopped in place for a moment, facing Lin Chi at the end of the corridor, and noticed the strange picture in the shadow at the end of the corridor:

A pair of shiny leather shoes was stepping on the dirty ground at the end of the corridor. Dark trousers appeared on them. The upper body of the man was shrouded in the shadow below the stairwell, not to mention his looks, even the outline of the body can not see clearly. But looking at the combination of shoes and pants, it should be an adult man.

Five seconds ago, Lin Chi still firmly believed that the aborigines in this apartment were all fictional characters made up by Zhen's brains, and they didn't exist at all.

But now, the "person" who appeared in front of him was not like an intruder, but a real apartment occupant!

"Who...Who are you?" Lin Chi asked tentatively.

His voice reverberated continuously in the narrow corridor, but the man standing at the end of the corridor did not answer, but turned and walked up the stairs slowly, disappearing into the stairwell.

The soft sound of the leather shoe heel hitting the ground still lingered in Lin Chi's ear. Seeing that the other party had left, Lin Chi, who noticed a little danger, did not rush to catch up, but raised his head and asked loudly:

"Jane, are you there?"

"I'm here." Zhen's weak voice rang: "What's the matter?"

"Did you see the person standing at the end of the corridor just now?" Lin Chi asked quickly.

"No, I didn't see anything." Jane replied slowly: "I only saw...you were talking to yourself in the corridor."
