Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 1408: Ms. Chen
1408
Even though Ms. Chen’s apartment was right downstairs from her own home, Lin Sanjiu still didn’t put the monitor into her home. It's one floor away, the signal is weak, and Ms. Chen lives alone. She can't expect the old lady to talk to herself all day long, right?
After much thought, she felt that she needed an ally - besides her own home, the place where Miss Chen went most often was Grandma Pink's house. The two old ladies always talk when they meet, and she will definitely be able to gather a lot of information; and if the listening device is to be placed at Pinker's house, is there a better accomplice than Sibaan?
With this idea in mind, she went straight to Apartment No. 6. Unexpectedly, as soon as her fist landed on the door, and before she even knocked the second time, the door was opened - as if someone in the house was waiting for her to knock on the door. Grandma Pink must have been staring out the window again, so she came over to open the door in advance; when she thought of this, she raised her head, but her greeting was stuck in her throat.
The person who opened the door was not Grandma Pink, but Miss Chen. The latter's long nose poked out of the door ahead of his face, and his eyes were sunk in the shadows, staring at Lin Sanjiu solemnly. "What are you here for?"
As if this is her home.
Lin Sanjiu suppressed her words and asked with a smile: "Is Pink at home?"
"His parents came to see him," Ms. Chen's answer surprised her. "They took him out to play. Don't you know? His parents even greeted a few neighbors."
Can't players leave this building? Who are his parents? Are they game NPCs? Perhaps she was wasting too much time at Yanhuang's house just now, and she didn't even notice the NPC coming to the building. Lin Sanjiu frowned, but did not ask these words - neither emotionally nor rationally, this was not a question Elizabeth would ask.
"What about Grandma Pink?"
"I'm a little uncomfortable. I'm taking care of her." Miss Chen looked very impatient, blocked the door and asked, "What are you doing here? There is no cooking here."
Whether Pink is here or not, Lin Sanjiu must secretly install the monitor today. Taking advantage of her height, she glanced behind Miss Chen and said, "Grandma Pink asked me to come to her today to get something. I just happened to go in and see her."
"Next time," Ms. Chen said without any intention of giving in. "She fell asleep."
In the living room behind Miss Chen, a half-knitted sweater was thrown on the sofa, and a cup of hot tea was still steaming. Everything was as usual, except Grandma Pink was missing. Lin Sanjiu looked away and refused to go home like this, and continued: "That won't work, I'm here to get the money. She asked me to tell her fortune, but I haven't confiscated the money. To be honest, this is what I'm counting on today. I have money to pay the bills."
"You even want to defraud the confused old lady out of her money," Miss Chen sneered, as if she didn't want to tangle with her anymore. "How much? I'll put it on for you first, so don't wake her up."
The relationship between the two old ladies is quite good. Lin Sanjiu didn't lie to him, so he immediately replied: "Three hundred."
"What do you think is worth three hundred?" Miss Chen complained as she turned around and entered the room, seemingly to get her wallet. Lin Sanjiu followed her into the living room as soon as she got out of the way, watched her enter the bedroom, and then quietly took out the monitor from his back pocket.
The monitor should be placed in an inconspicuous place where most conversations can be heard. She quickly looked around the living room, and her eyes fell on a pot of artificial flowers in the corner - this pot of artificial flowers had a layer of dust on it, and the style was old. It looked like it hadn't been touched for an unknown period of time. She walked over in a few strides, quickly stuffed the monitor into the fake flower pot, and hid it behind the branches and leaves of the fake flowers. As soon as she hid it, she heard the sound of footsteps. She hurriedly took two steps away and looked up, but she couldn't help but be stunned. Living.
Miss Chen stood motionless at the door of the kitchen, looking at her steadily.
When did it come out? Lin Sanjiu didn't know how much she had seen, and she couldn't help but panic. Just when she wanted to smile, she suddenly realized that the footsteps she just heard were still continuing.
Miss Chen still stood upright on the spot, as motionless as a sculpture, her pupils staring at her were dark and big, like two deep holes - but the footsteps were getting closer and closer to the living room.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but glance in the direction of the footsteps, and found Miss Chen emerging from the corridor leading to the bedroom, with a wallet in her hand; she was startled, and turned around again. I found that the door to the kitchen was empty, no one at all.
What did she see? Could it be that she was hallucinating?
Seeing that Miss Chen was about to walk into the living room, even Lin Sanjiu couldn't explain why. She ducked under the armrest of the sofa and shrank down. She entered the living room listening to Miss Chen's footsteps, and then she seemed to realize that she was missing, and she said "Huh?" slightly.
It was only then that Lin Sanjiu gradually figured out the doubt that had just surfaced in his mind while breathing rapidly.
...Miss Chen is also a guest after all. Why did she put her wallet in someone else's bedroom when she came to Grandma Pink's house?
She has no time to think deeply now. Since she is hiding, she must hide to the end. After a brief pause, Miss Chen's footsteps walked towards the door again; judging from the reflection on the TV screen, she looked around as she walked, obviously looking for Lin Sanjiu.
"...Where are the people?" She also muttered.
Lin Sanjiu hurriedly got down on all fours and crawled behind the sofa as silently as possible - luckily the sofa was not placed against the wall and there was still space behind it. When Miss Chen passed in front of the sofa, the old lady would never have thought that Elizabeth was quietly crawling from behind the sofa; when she walked around behind Miss Chen, Lin Sanjiu quietly peeked out.
Miss Chen just opened the door and seemed to want to go to the corridor to find Elizabeth.
At this time, her back was facing the living room; taking this opportunity, Lin Sanjiu quickly got up and rushed into the corridor on tiptoes - she was young and agile, and had a slight advantage over the slow-moving Miss Chen. Seizing the opportunity, just as the old lady looked down the corridor and heard the sound of closing the door, Lin Sanjiu had just rushed into the bedroom.
Miss Chen is right. Grandma Pink is indeed lying on the bed with her eyes closed. She has obviously lost consciousness for a long time, and she doesn't know whether she fell asleep or passed out.
...Beside her, there was Pink, who was also lying motionless. ~IndoMTL.com~ The two of them were placed side by side on the bed like dolls, unaware of the person who suddenly rushed in. If she hadn't noticed Pink's rising and falling chest in time, Lin Sanjiu almost let a exclamation slip out of her throat - at this moment, the old lady's footsteps sounded towards the bedroom again; her heart tightened , hurriedly bent down, lifted up the sheets, propped his elbows on the ground, and crawled under the dusty bed with a lot of debris piled up.
Miss Chen walked into the bedroom, muttering "I just left".
Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to take a breath. She pricked up her ears and listened to the sound of people opening drawers and rummaging around in the room. Miss Chen didn't know what she was looking for in Grandma Pink's bedroom. She pulled out the drawers one by one, opened the cupboard doors one by one, rummaged through the boxes and cabinets unscrupulously, and made muffled sounds after being thrown to the ground. There was a slight movement from the grandfather and grandson on the bed.
What on earth is she doing? What happened to Pink's grandparents?
Just when Lin Sanjiu was anxious and confused, the sheets in front of her suddenly moved, and a ray of light leaked in.
When her heart suddenly jumped into her throat, she saw the expressionless Miss Chen lying down from the bed, her dark pupils facing her. Immediately, Miss Chen slowly crawled in and got under the bed, as if turning a blind eye to her existence.
...Lin Sanjiu became hard all over.
In the bedroom, the sound of Miss Chen rummaging through boxes and cabinets continued; her footsteps and coughing were also the same as before.
But, if Miss Chen is outside... then what is this thing next to her that is groping for the debris under the bed?
