Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 483: Fields of Mathematics

?

... When there were only the last few steps left on this staircase, Lin Sanjiu raised his head.

Just as she expected, a three-seater sofa that occupied most of the corridor and a brown-red red panda appeared in front of her again.

Lin Sanjiu sighed softly.

She started walking up from here just now, but after climbing three floors, she returned to the starting point.

It seems that these three flights of stairs cannot be climbed through ordinary means.

"Don't tell me, this is really like a ghost beating a wall." Lin Sanjiu hugged her wings and lay down, not leaving: "...I used to read ghost stories, and it seems that children's urine can break the ghost. Hitting the wall."

As she spoke, she turned her attention to the red panda.

"Don't look at me when you talk about boy," Qingjiuru bared his teeth at her: "Don't insult people."

"...That shouldn't be the case," the blue floral sofa interjected, "I think we fell into someone else's trick."

"Is she that old woman? We didn't provoke her, so why did she keep staring at us..."

Lin Sanjiu looked at the two of them and thought of a way - she stood up and walked to the door marked "EXIT", pushed the door open with her huge body, turned around and said: "You guys are here Following behind, I tried to think of a way from inside the floor... If that didn't work, I jumped out of the window to see if I could break this cycle."

Hearing this, the red panda immediately jumped onto the sofa lightly, and with the help of Ji Shanqing gritting his teeth and moving forward a little bit, he squeezed in through the door.

...The 16th floor looks nothing strange.

The carpet was soaked with blood and dried over time, making it crunchy and brittle when stepped on. The corridor is filled with a suffocating iron smell and musty smell. Compared with the top floor, it is even more unbearable - the prices of the rooms on the 19th floor and above are too high, and they are all empty before the end of the world. They are relatively clean. In good condition; unlike the 16th floor, several guest room doors are still ajar because they were blocked by the dead bodies of tenants at the door.

It is said to be a dead body, but in fact, there is no human shape at all.

It seemed like it had been bitten and cut after death. The pitted corpse revealed most of its white skeleton; the skeleton was hung with dried black flesh, together with rags, which Lin Sanjiu passed by. His steps were shaking.

"It's almost the same as what I saw last time." After quickly checking the corridor, Lin Sanjiu walked back quickly and said to the other two people: "You guys wait for me here. I'll come from the balcony." Try climbing up."

After saying that, she opened a door next to her - the huge chicken wings were like brooms, sweeping out the broken corpses on the ground, and stepped into the house.

The guest rooms on this side all have an exquisite small balcony; although without hands, it becomes difficult to climb, but if you flutter your wings and jump up with all your strength, Lin Sanjiu's beak can still reach it. On the edge of the balcony upstairs - the two people who followed the room watched helplessly as the two big chicken claws kicked hard in the air a few times, finally climbed up and disappeared out of the window.

The room fell into silence for a while.

"What do you think?" After a while, the brown and red panda suddenly spoke.

"...not very promising." Blue Sofa sighed.

"What if we go down?"

"If we go downstairs now, we should return to the 18th floor."

Qing Jiuru was stunned for a moment, turned halfway and looked at the sofa behind him: "Did you already——"

"Look," Ji Shanqing suddenly interrupted him, "outside the window."

As if to confirm what he said, something clicked on the edge of the small balcony outside the window; with the support of its wings, a familiar bird's beak also caught the iron railing - gradually , the old hen that Lin Sanjiu transformed into, flapping vigorously, popped up from under the balcony again. As soon as her bright round eyes met the two people in the room, a series of "gurgling" sounds came out of her throat, probably cursing.

"...what the hell!"

This was her first sentence after she finally stabilized her body.

"What's going on with these three floors? Why can't I get out!" As a messy old hen walked into the house, tiny feathers were fluttering in the air: "...or I'll just jump down. Let’s go upstairs and try? I can still see the ground——”

"Don't do it," Ji Shanqing said quickly, "I estimate that if you jump from the 16th floor, you will fall from the 18th floor... and then keep falling in a cycle between the 16th, 17th, and 18th floors. , it will never stop."

Lin Sanjiu raised her head and looked at the sofa in front of her. She didn't know where Ji Shanqing's "face" was, so she could only look back and forth suspiciously: "...Have you guessed what's going on?"

"Well, I did think of an answer - actually it's not hard to guess." Probably because he saw Lin Sanjiu's eyes light up, Ji Shanqing's voice also sounded a little shy: "Although it's not I don’t know whose ability this is - or a special item - but the distance from the 16th floor to the 18th floor has probably become a Möbius ring."

This word was so familiar that Lin Sanjiu frowned. Just when she was recalling where she had heard this word, Qing Jiuliu had already responded with an "ah": "That one that connects the beginning to the end and loops endlessly." Bring a belt!"

"Yes, if you stand on the surface of the Möbius Ring and walk on it, you can keep walking over and over again without any end..." Ji Shanqing said thoughtfully: "Isn't it very similar to our current situation?"

"I vaguely remember this thing, it seems to be related to mathematics." Lin Sanjiu responded, "Knowing this, what should we do next?"

The question was very constructive, but no one answered her.

She was about to ask again when she suddenly noticed that the red panda raised its head - its bright black eyes slowly moved upward, staring at her back. Kiyokuru also became quiet, like a real sofa.

There is something behind me!

Lin Sanjiu suddenly turned around, and when her eyes fell on that thing, she was immediately startled.

Above the balcony, a head of black hair was hanging in the air; just as Lin Sanjiu saw it, the head of black hair suddenly shrank upwards and completely disappeared upstairs—— It seemed like someone was hanging upside down just now, looking into the room.

"Wait for me here——!"

Before the two people behind her could speak, the old hen had already rushed out with a single stride. With her wings fluttering in the air, she had already grasped the iron railing upstairs in her familiar manner and pulled the chicken body up. , also quickly disappeared.

Qingjiuru sat up straight and stared closely at the balcony - except that he was not staring at his head, but below the balcony.

If that black hair escapes all the way up, it will soon emerge from under this layer.

After waiting for a few minutes, the edge of the balcony was still painted off-white, and the dark top of the head as imagined never appeared; and Lin Sanjiu had no idea where he had tracked it.

At this time, Ji Shanqing behind him spoke.

"Qing, Qingjiu Liu?" His voice suddenly became softer for some reason, and he was still a little trembling.

This guy is quite smart, but he is a little timid... The thought passed through Qingjiuru's mind, and he asked without looking back: "What are you doing?"

Although there was no saliva or esophagus, the blue floral sofa still made a clear "dong" sound of swallowing saliva.

"Just now...someone touched my backrest."

The red panda immediately twisted its neck, and a streak of hair grew on its back.

...There was no one behind the sofa. Since the sofa was parked sideways at the entrance, apart from one wall, there was only a large open room door and a short section of stained corridor exposed by the door.

"What do you mean by touching...?" Qingjiuru asked in a lowered voice. ~IndoMTL.com~ I couldn't see behind me, but it felt like someone accidentally brushed me as they passed me. "Ji Shanqing's voice was almost inaudible. "Anyway, I was touched by something. ”

Could it be the owner of the black hair?

The red panda grabbed the back of the sofa with its front paws, stood up with its two hind legs, and cautiously poked out its eyes.

His black eyes turned from left to right in a circle. The luggage table, carpet, light switch, door, and the pile of broken bones under the door...

It seems that there is no difference from before, and there is no "person" as Ji Shanqing said.

Wait a minute.
