There are only two beds in this room, so it is destined to have a personal sleeping sofa. Lin Qiu Shi very consciously showed the respect for the old and the young, the good character of the woman's priority, and firmly stated that he can sleep on the sofa, Cheng Yizhen and Minnan candle can sleep in bed.
Cheng Yizhen and Lin Qiu Shi were polite, changed their pajamas and went to bed to sleep.
Minnan candlestick sat on the bed and looked at him for a while.
Lin Qiu Shi was inexplicably seen by him. Some of the creeps: "Why are you looking at me?"
Minnan Candle: "Because you look good."
Lin Qiushi: "..."
Minnan Candle: "Would you like to squeeze with me?" He patted the bed under him.
Lin Qiushi refused, saying that if he couldn’t sleep, he would come over again. The candlestick in Minnan heard the gimmick, and did not force it.
In fact, the sofa here is very wide and soft, and there is nothing uncomfortable sleeping on it. Lin Qiu Shi took a thin blanket and put his gaze on the ground where the mirror was. At that time, the mirror had been covered with a layer of bath towel, and the bright mirror was covered. The people below could no longer see the scene in their house. They also inspected the other mirrors in the room and found that there were both double-sided mirrors and single-sided mirrors in the room, so it took some time to cover all the double-sided mirrors with towels.
This apartment is very new and seems to have been renovated. Lin Qiushi shrunk in the sofa and slept in the past.
The first night of coming to the world is usually calm. Lin Qiushi thinks that he will sleep until the next day, but he did not expect to be awakened by Cheng Yizhen in the middle of the night.
When Lin Qiu Shi woke up, he saw Cheng Yizhen frowning and sitting on the edge of the bed, his nose constantly swaying like smelling.
"What, what?" Lin Qiu Shi asked in a confused mouth.
"There is a taste." Cheng Yizhen whispered, "...what is the smell of charred, have you smelled it?"
Lin Qiu Shi heard a word, he tried to move his nose, but nothing smelled, so he shook his head: "No, I can't smell."
Cheng Yizhen did not speak, he stood up, walked to the wall and began to kneel and observe.
This move seems to be a bit weird. Lin Qiu Shi looked at his back and was about to ask questions. He heard the South Anhui candle on the bed next to him and asked softly, "What happened?" The candlestick also woke up.
Cheng Yizhen is still observing the corner.
The pale gold wallpaper covered almost every corner of the room. Lin Qiu Shi saw Cheng Yiqi get up, walked to the table and picked up a knife that cuts fruit, then returned to the edge of the wall and began to scrape the wallpaper.
After a few minutes, the wallpaper was scraped down, revealing a dark color.
Lin Qiu Shi saw the wall behind the wallpaper by dim light. He showed a slightly awkward expression: "In this room... has a fire?" The wall was actually a burnt black, apparently what had happened in this room.
Cheng Yizhen started a low cough, like what smell was caught.
Minnan Candle looked at the appearance of Cheng Yizhen, got up and went to the toilet, took a wet towel in the toilet and handed it to Cheng Yizhen: "Hee."
Cheng Yizhen took it over and snorted on the nose and mouth, and the coughing sound was slightly relieved.
It seems that there has been an accident in this apartment.
Minnan Candleway,
At least one fire.
He just finished saying this, Lin Qiu-shi actually smelled a bit of something burnt. He thought at first that this was his own sense of smell, and he looked at the candle. Minnan Candles nodded to him: "I also smelled it."
He quickly entered the toilet, prepared two wet towels, handed it to Lin Qiushi, and said: "I will go out and see."
Lin Qiu Shi covered his mouth and nose with a towel and said, "Let's go together, I will go."
Minnan candle did not refuse, and stepped toward the door.
There was silence outside the house, and no one else seemed to find this smell. But when Cheng Yiyi went out of the house, his brow wrinkled even more.
Minnan candle gave him a look: "The taste is stronger?"
Cheng Yizhen nodded, his eyes patrolling in the corridor, seemingly discerning something, and Lin Qiuishi also vaguely heard some strange sounds, these sounds are very subtle, some like people are scratching the door panel... his eyes are facing the sound In the direction of the past, at the same time, Cheng Yizhen also pointed to the position at the end of the corridor.
At the end of the corridor are the big bed rooms, as if there were only two girls living there.
They walked a few steps toward the other side, Lin Qiu Shi was trying to go to the place where the sound was heard, but he was stopped by the candlestick of Minnan.
"What's wrong?" Lin Qiu Shi gave a slight glimpse.
Minnan candle did not speak, but suddenly raised his head.
Lin Qiu Shi looked down at his gaze and found that the top of the corridor was also in a row of mirrors, reflecting the entire corridor. At this time, the image in the mirror also raised his head, and Lin Qiu Shi made the same action.
The southern candlestick also pointed to the position at the end of the corridor.
Lin Qiu Shi hearted the gods and looked up from the mirror to the end of the corridor. At this sight, his breath was blocked. He saw the mirror, and the end of the corridor was burning with raging fire.
The fire came out of the crack of the door, and the flames were thick black smoke.
Lin Qiushi finally knew where the scent of the sultry came from. He took back his eyes and looked at the corridor. He saw that the corridor in the real world was still in the darkness and could not see a trace of fire.
"Cough and cough." Cheng Yizhen couldn't help but cough up.
Lin Qiushi said: "Will this fire burn?"
Minnan candle shook his head, "I don't know."
Lin Qiu Shi looked at the end of the corridor in the mirror, the flames burned more fiercely, and the iron-made security door seemed to be baked and shaped, and the sound of the knocking on the door began to become sharp, accompanied by low crying— - There seems to be someone inside the door.
"Help, save lives..." Someone is calling for help.
Lin Qiu-shi is not sure whether this voice can be heard by him alone, or they can all hear it, so he asks: "Have you heard?"
Both Minnan Candle and Cheng Yizhen shook their heads, indicating that they had not heard anything.
However, Minnan Candle said: "Although I didn't hear it, I saw it."
"What did you see?" Lin Qiu-Shi asked.
Minnan Candle said: "There is a hand in the room." He looked closely. "Now is two."
Lin Qiu Shi was thinking that he had not seen anything. The back was gently patted by one hand. He was scared of a cold sweat. He turned his head and saw a man and a woman standing behind him. The two men Lin Qiushi had some Impression, it should have been seen in the apartment before, belonging to the people inside the team.
"What are you looking at?" asked the woman.
The two men appeared silent, and none of them actually found out. If they had seen the two before, Lin Qiu-Shi thought they were ghosts.
Lin Qiu Shi thought, this ninth door, really is the place where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
When Minnan Candle saw the two men, it seemed very calm. He said: "Look at the fireworks."
The woman smiled and said: "Fireworks?" She said, "Is it beautiful?"
Minnan Candle: "General."
The woman said, "Is it better than me?"
The candlestick of Xiaonan also smiled. He said calmly, "It’s better than you, no one looks good."
The smile on the woman's face was gone, and the eyes began to show the smell of anger. She stared at the face of the South Candle, and her expression was quite bad.
The man next to the woman stood up in time, simply made a self-introduction, saying that he and this woman are brothers and sisters, his name is Luo Qianshan, his sister is Luo Qianshui.
Luo Qianshan said: "A fire broke out at the end of the corridor?"
Lin Qiushi did not answer Luo Qianshan's problems. After all, they are competitors to some extent, and it is not a wise move to provide clues to competitors.
"It's on fire." Luo Qianshui also saw a completely different scene in the mirror and reality. She looked at Luo Qianshan. "Will the people inside be burned to death?"
Luo Qianshan said: "I don't know."
Then he became a five-person standing in the corridor and continued to watch quietly.
The fire did not seem to spread outward. It was limited to that room. Lin Qiu Shi looked at the dark night outside the window and yawned.
Minnan candle glanced at him and said: "Go, go back to sleep."
Lin Qiushi: "Don't you continue to watch?"
Minnan Candle said: "Is it a night here?"
This is also true, and there are two strange people standing around. The three of them stopped paying attention to the pair of brothers and sisters and planned to turn back to the house.
Cheng Yizhen’s sense of smell is too sensitive, and because of this, he has been coughing with these smoke and his face is very unsightly.
The Minnan candle was the last one to enter the house. He looked at the end of the corridor before entering, but he frowned slightly.
After entering the house, his first words to Lin Qiu Shi and Cheng Yizhen were: "The things in the house are out."
Lin Qiushi said: "What?"
"The person who was burned to death." Before he entered the room, he saw two figures at the end of the corridor. One big and one small, it seems that an adult is holding a child. They are black and still braving the flame. They are standing quietly at the end of the corridor. , staring at all the rooms on this floor. When you look at it, you will feel uncomfortable.
Lin Qiu Shi listened to the words of the South Candle, but he remembered a hint in the clue: taking the ancient mirror, you can know the replacement. Is this ancient, what happened in this apartment?
The three of them meditated, but the smell of the scorching was gradually faded.
"Let's sleep first." Minnan candlelight looked at the time. "Think tomorrow, or the body can't stand it."
Then the three went to the bed.
To be honest, normal people have encountered these things, and it is estimated that those horrible pictures in their minds are difficult to fall asleep, but Lin Qiushi now feels that they are no longer in the normal range. Not only did he fall asleep quickly, but he also had good sleep quality, and he slept until the next morning.
The sun rose and took a grayish smell. Lin Qiu Shi was awakened by the light from the outside of the French window, and opened his eyes in confusion.
"Good morning." Hannan candle greeted him.
"Yeah." Lin Qiu Shi blinked his eyes, sat up from the sofa and went to the toilet to wash.
Cheng Yizhen seems to wake up early, and now he has changed his clothes and stood silently at the window watching the scenery outside.
"Breakfast is on the second floor." Minnan Candle said, "Let's go, I am really hungry."
The three of them got out of the room and saw a lot of people gathered in the restaurant.
Lin Qiushi’s eyes swept over the crowd and saw what he was looking for – the two girls who lived in the big bed room.
They were full of vigor and joy, and it seemed that everything that happened last night had no effect on them.
Lin Qiu-Shi has been observing them, but there is a sound of a smile like a smile in the ear. He said: "See how seriously others look, how, better than me?"
Lin Qiu Shi heard the words and said helplessly: "You are naturally the best."
"It’s so reluctant to say how." Minnan candle took a bite of bread and said, "The two people are here too."
The two men refer to Luo Qianshan and Luo Qianshui’s brothers and sisters who met in the corridor last night. The two men came in from the outside, one smiled at Lin Qiuishi, and the other hated and looked at the candle.
It seems that Luo Qianshui is resentful of the provocation of the South Lantern candle last night.
Minnan was not afraid of the candle, and raised her chin against her. She leaned on the shoulder of Lin Qiushi. The voice was not too big: "Hey, the woman’s eyes are terrible, scaring people."
Lin Qiu Shi is crying and laughing.
Cheng Yizhen seems to have long been accustomed to the drama of Minnan Candles, and the entire face of the expressionless bread.
When they ate almost the same, the waiter who gave them a room card yesterday appeared, holding a stack of things in his hand, it should be the travel guide he mentioned.
The waiter said: "I don't know if everyone slept last night?" He laughed. "This is the travel guide here. You must look carefully after you get it." Then it began to be distributed to everyone.
Lin Qiu Shi also got a copy. After he opened it, he found that it was really an introduction to some of the city's attractions. Among them, there was an apartment with a mirror exterior.
Look at the information to know that the apartment is a local landmark. It was renovated two years ago. The look before the renovation and the look after the renovation are quite different. The outside of the apartment was affixed with countless mirrors that looked extraordinarily strange.
Lin Qiu Shi was turning over, but he heard that Cheng Yizhen started a low cough.
"Cough, cough, cough, and cough." Cheng Yi slammed his nose and said, "There is something burning..."
"What?" Lin Qiu Shi and Minnan Candles are inexplicable, and neither of them smelled anything.
But soon, they don't need to smell it, because they have smoke in front of them - something that burns, is a person, is one of the girls living in the big bed room.
At first, only some of her body began to emit some smoke. When everyone turned her gaze to her, her body actually took out the glaring flame. These flames seemed to have emerged from her flesh and blood, but they burned her body all the time.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh She fired on her body, but it didn't work.
Just a minute or two of effort, the girl who was originally like a flower, turned into a blackened body in front of everyone.
"Vool--" Someone spit out on the spot, and the faces of others were not very good-looking.
It is said that burning is the most painful way to die. Lin Qiushi slowly walked back to the side of the candlestick and put down the milk can in his hand.
It seems that what happened last night was the reason why the girl died.
"Xiaoyan!! Xiaoyan!!" The remaining girl burst into tears, and the look near the coke was almost collapsed.
Lin Qiu Shi looked at the side and did not speak.
Minnan Candle: "Is it okay?"
Lin Qiu Shi shook his head and motioned that he was fine. In fact, he has seen a lot of scenes, but this scene is too horrible... It is the difficulty of the ninth door. On the first night of the coming, someone got a move.
"It's disgusting." Luo Qianshui, who was sitting far away, said coldly, and he had to go when he stood up. "Don't turn his stomach."
Her brother left the restaurant behind her.
Luo Qianshui’s attitude is too indifferent, but in fact her attitude is the mainstream. This happened. Most of the people in the room had numbness. Only the five-person group with some new people was vomiting, and some people showed a shivering expression.
"I am so scared, Xia Jie." A young boy said to the leading woman.
The woman named Xia Jie should be the one who brought them in. She said: "Don't be afraid, there is nothing to be afraid of, as long as you obey the rules, follow the rules, there will be no accidents," she said.
Although this is like perfunctory, it seems that it can only be so, the color of fear on the face of young men has not decreased.
The Minnan candlestick also stood up: "Go, go around and see."
They left the restaurant and went to the street near the apartment.
Unlike the previous world, this world seems to be open. The crowds on the bustling streets are endless, surrounded by a variety of shops, buses that can reach other places, and even the same currency as the world they were in.
Lin Qiu Shi looked at everything around him and was really curious: "Can you go to other places?"
"Yes." Minnan Candle said, "As long as you come back before dark."
Lin Qiushi: "If you don't come back?"
Minnan Candle: "Then you can see the strange deaths." The words he said were very certain, apparently they have seen these situations.
Is this world complete?
Even though he has restrained himself, there are still many questions that Lin Qiu Shi’s heart wants to ask. He looks at the crepes on the street.
Can something eat?
Yeah.
Minnan Candle said,
The taste should be good.
So Lin Qiu Shi bought money for three, one for one.
Lin Qiushi chose the chocolate flavor. The crepe is ice cream. He took a bite and thought it was really delicious. He said: "What is the difference between this world and the real world?"
Minnan Candle said: "The difference? The biggest difference is probably that there is a ghost in this world." He continued. "I am going to inquire about the apartment."
He went to a small shop near the apartment and asked some shopkeepers.
I have to say that the advantages of women's wear are undoubtedly revealed at this time. These shopkeepers are very friendly towards Minnan Candles. There is even a 30-year-old candy store owner who sent a box of sugar to Minnan Candle, indicating that if there is time at night. If you can, please
Minnan candle was very straightforward and rejected his invitation.
I have to say that these npcs are completely different from the npcs in the previous doors. They are more like normal humans. They cannot be distinguished from the real world by their words or behavior.
Even Lin Qiu Shi is a bit embarrassed: "We are really inside the door?"
Minnan Candle: "Of course." He glanced at Lin Qiushi. "The higher the difficulty of the door, the greater the coincidence rate with reality. The tenth door I entered before..." He stopped here when he said it. There was a hint of gloom in my eyes, which seemed to remind me of unpleasant memories.
Lin Qiu Shi did not ask to see it, but he did not see it.
In addition to this, they still found a lot of news about the apartment.
There was a fire in the apartment two years ago. A family of three died in the fire. It is said that this family of three is still traveling to the city, but it has encountered such a thing...
The apartment was burned down?
The place where the South Candle was heard by the news was a small newsstand next to the apartment. The newsstand seemed to be a few years old. The newspaper was sold by a grandfather.
"Yeah, a whole layer." The old man said, "The apartment was refurbished. The outer walls were all blackened by smoke, so they all put on the mirror." He pushed the glasses and used the old ones. The voice said, "The reflected light is really punishing eyes..."
Lin Qiu-Shi thought of the mother and daughter he saw in the mirror. It seems that they are the victims of the fire.
"You better not live in it, haunted inside." Grandpa said, "It is said that everyone is crying every night..."
"The floor where the apartment was burned is the first floor?" Lin Qiu Shi asked.
"Thirty-four layers." The old man replied.
Thirty-four layers - the place where they live, it seems that the key should be related to this fire.
After a round trip outside, at lunch time, the three planned to return to the apartment.
It was noon at this time, the sun was projected from the sky, hitting the mirror outside the apartment, reflecting the dazzling light. The whole apartment was so bright that it couldn't be seen directly. The whole building seemed to be caught in a glaring flame. Lin Qiuishi only glanced at it, and the eyes were irritated with tears.
The candlestick of Minnan came to the side: "How cute is crying."
Lin Qiu Shi looked at the candle in the south with a red eye.
As a result, the game came in an instant. When the restaurant was in front of everyone, Lin Qiu Shi did not cry, and he was responsible for him.
Lin Qiu Shi: "..." It’s good to be happy.
Cheng Yizhen has not heard anything, and is very witty to pretend that he is a background board. Lin Qiu-Shi has a strong doubt that he has also been teased many times by Minnan.
At lunch time, many people did not come here to eat. After all, the outside is a bustling street, there are many options, so you don't have to squeeze into the restaurant.
However, Luo Qianshan and Luo Qianshui, who had seen it before, also fell, and Luo Qianshui saw two flashes of white eyes toward him.
Minnan candle smiled and took the white eyes, patted his chest and said how to have a feeling of being bitten by a dog.
Almost did not rush Luo Qishui to fight with her.
Lin Qiu Shi once again expressed his admiration for the hard work of the candlesticks in southern Anhui. However, the word "撩" has a new annotation on the candlestick of Minnan, and rounding is basically equal to provocation. If the angry sister is a head cow, then the South Candle is the red cloth that makes the cow angry...
