496 Secrets of the apartment
- The protection system of the dream world?
Although he had received important information from Zhen, Lin Chi had no time to think about this kind of problem now, so he just swung his wildly spinning circular saw and slashed at the butcher's right arm.
Click!
Perhaps because he saw the "Administrator", the butcher's movements were slower than just now, his right arm was directly cut off by a circular saw, and the blood and flesh spurted out on the wallpaper next to the door, leaving a bloody slash, and the rough knife in his hand fell heavily to the ground along with the severed arm.
"Run!"
Lin Chi said as he turned off the switch of the circular saw, grabbed Zhen's slender arm, dragged the girl to turn around and run, passed by the butcher with the broken arm who was still spurting blood, and rushed out of room 304 and ran downstairs.
It wasn't until the two of them entered the corridor on the second floor that a low roar finally sounded on the third floor. Lin Chi was pulling Jane forward when he heard a crashing roar from the ceiling above him.
Lin Chi stopped abruptly, the concrete ceiling less than three meters in front of him fell apart in front of him, and the butcher with only his left arm left fell from the sky, suddenly stretched out his strong left hand, and grabbed Lin Chi's throat!
"......"
In the tense situation of life and death, Lin Chi couldn't help but curse, although he had already reacted, the attribute value of the virtual body limited the movement speed of his body.
Before Lin Chi could take two steps back, he was lifted up by the butcher who rushed forward, grabbed his throat with his left hand, and his vision immediately began to blur, and his consciousness began to become less clear.
He struggled with great difficulty, trying to turn on the switch of the circular saw, but when he was grabbed by the neck, his hands were not strong at all, and all his movements were in vain.
The circular saw in his hand fell on the ceiling, making a crisp loud sound, and in the face of the butcher who suddenly exerted force, Lin Chi continued to struggle, and then saw Jen, who was standing beside him, stepped forward, and the thin body that seemed to be defenseless stood beside the butcher.
- What is she going to do?
Lin Chi narrowed his bloodshot eyes and stared at Jane who was standing beside the butcher, only to see that the girl raised her right hand and clicked a few times in the air, as if she had entered some command.
Then, the butcher's left hand, which was about to crush Lin Chi's neck, suddenly let go, Lin Chi fell to the ground and coughed, but the butcher, who was still murderous just now, suddenly stopped moving.
"It's ...... What's the situation......" Lin Chi asked while coughing.
"I temporarily stopped his offensive routine. Now it's time for him to restore the protection system to its original state. But the other party may also rewrite his data. Jane said and bent down to fumble around, picked up the cane that had fallen to the ground, and nodded, "Let's go......"
With the lesson just now, Lin Chi naturally wouldn't stay by the butcher's side for a long time, just picked up the circular saw, and together with the blind girl, quickly left the place where the butcher had fallen, and walked towards room 207.
Unlike when she was alone, the girl who was half an administrator was now by her side, and she might be able to give an answer to some clues in the inn.
So now, Lin Chi also decisively took her to room 207, picked up the letter paper on the bedroom desk, and read out what he had already read once:
"Dear Vincent:"
"You're angry, I'm sorry, but I really don't...... Do that kind of thing. ”
"As reparations, I ordered a suit for you from the old tailor in room 103, who is a weird man, but he probably wouldn't change it into a strange style. You should be able to receive it soon, please forgive me. ”
After reading the contents of the letter, Lin Chi turned his eyes to Jane who was sitting on the bed in the bedroom, only to see the girl in the black dress froze, with a surprised expression on her face, and said in a low voice:
"It's ...... A letter written by Catherine? ”
"Who is Catherine?" Lin Chi asked.
"Catherine is Vincent's fiancée, she is a very mature woman, both in personality and body, she is different from me......" Jane shook her head: "She and Vincent should have entered as administrators, but ......"
"She seems to have forgotten that this space is fake." Lin Chi said the main point of the matter.
- The contents of the letter do not look like they were written by the administrator of the virtual space, but more like they were written by "NPCs" who don't know the truth of this world. If that's the case, it means that Vincent's fiancée is also in the nightmare of the Doomsday Hotel, and she can't extricate herself at all.
After reading the contents of the letter, Vincent's suspicion increased again. Still, Jane refuses to believe that the evidence is conclusive and is almost conclusive.
"Vincent couldn't have done such a thing, he's definitely a good man......" Jane said slowly.
"So why do you trust him so much?" Lin Chi turned sideways and stared at the black-haired girl: "Can you give me a reason?" ”
"When my life-sustaining equipment in the apartment failed, the engineer happened to be absent, and he braved the heavy snow to go out to find parts, and repaired the equipment and saved my life......" Jane clenched her little fist slightly: "At that time, someone in the apartment had a heart attack, and he rescued him......"
Hearing this, Lin Chi finally understood the reason why Zhen and the other residents in the apartment trusted Vincent so much, and anyone would thank their life-saving benefactor, and they should be no exception. But now the question is......
"Don't forget, that apartment should be the same as this one, a virtual dream space." Lin Chi reminded.
- If the apartment is also a virtual space, the reason why Vincent saved people is debatable. Although Zhen trusted him very much, in Lin Chi's opinion, this mysterious guy who only appeared with a name was even more suspicious.
"He's not spying on you, is he?" Lin Chi said his guess.
"No, that's impossible!" Jane shook her head irritably: "I trust him, he will never betray me." Because...... I can see what he thinks! ”
As soon as these words came out, Lin Chi, who was about to speak, was suddenly stunned, and was silent for ten seconds before he made a confused voice:
"Huh?"
"That...... It's like mind reading, right? I can actually see the thoughts of all the residents in the apartment...... It's in that apartment, not here. ”
Jane pondered the words for a moment, and then again said the surprising truth: "So I've long suspected that it's not the real world either." But Vincent's thoughts have always been very simple, he is really a gentleman, and he really wants to do something for everyone, it is impossible for a good person like him to betray us! ”
"You mean, you can see the thoughts of everyone in the apartment?" Lin Chi asked in surprise, "What about mine?" ”
"What do you think...... I can't see. Jane lowered her head: "I can only see the thoughts of the aborigines of the apartment, and I can't parse the thoughts of you and those soldiers." ”
- So, what's going on here?
After getting the strange new information, Lin Chi fell into deep thought again.
