Chapter 103 Chapter 103
After everyone decided to collect information, they immediately thought of a way to leave. After discussing, they dispersed and searched every floor, collecting some things that could extract information, put them in their pockets, and then gathered at the designated location.
After gathering and confirming the collected things, everyone began to look for a way to leave. They first followed Alan back to the second-level world. There was still no one here except them, and it was very quiet.
They separated again and searched the floor. There was no new situation or new people, so they had to gather together to discuss and take a break.
Shen Xingchen frowned and said, "If we can't get back to our original world from here, then it's over."
Alan said with a sullen face, "I've tried all the possible methods, and none of them worked."
Li Qingshan sighed and said, "Let's take a walk around after we rest. There's no one else here anyway, so there's no chance of disturbing others."
The others said, "That's the only way."
After another round of walking around and gathering together, everyone sat down according to their previous seats. However, when looking for seats, they hesitated. Several people found the same seat and were about to sit down. When they looked up, they found that there were other people who were planning to sit here like them, and they were all surprised.
"Didn't we sit in the same seats as last time?"
"That's right."
"Then how did we bump into each other? We always sat in one seat before, never in pairs."
"I remember I sat here last time."
"I also sat here last time, that's what my brain told me."
"I'm afraid our memory is getting worse. Now we can't remember where we were last time. If this continues, I'm afraid we will forget about leaving."
"If it's that serious, who knows what will happen. There's no one else here. Maybe after we completely forget the situation, we will become part of this building."
"Here is a situation. Write it down. If we can get out, write this sentence on the mission record. If we can't get out, write it on our clothes. If someone can find us later, it will be a hint."
People looked at each other and started writing on their clothes. After writing, they rearranged their seats and sat down. Their faces were a little dazed, because they needed to think for a while before they could remember what they did before they got up, what they were going to say, and what they were going to do next.
These questions, which were simple at ordinary times, have become very difficult now.
Li Qingshan joked, "We are now like in the brain of an Alzheimer's patient. The longer we stay, the more deeply we will be infected. If we stay here forever, we will also become Alzheimer's patients."
Everyone smiled to show their respect.
After laughing, Alan frowned and said, "Maybe we can try to write and circle on the ground to mark our location, so that we won't be unable to find the location later, and we can save some time. Here, time is life."
Time has always been life, but in this place, the weight of this sentence is increased.
Shen Xingchen hesitated and said, "I think if we search here again, when we come back, we may not remember which number we wrote and which circle is our location. If we really want to save time, we might as well discuss how to leave."
Li Qingshan was silent for a while, and agreed, "I think so too."
Alan gave up his proposal, "Then let's discuss how to leave."
Everyone was silent for a while.
They didn't know what to do, otherwise they would have left long ago. Losing their memories seemed to have affected their thinking ability, so that they couldn't come up with a solution now.
Seeing that no one had any suggestions, Li Qingshan secretly opened the system and checked his current attention level. He found that he could open a new vest. After thinking for a while, he said to the system: "I want a new vest, set it to wander around the building, and the residents with confused memories will think I am his friend."
The system said it received it.
After a while, Li Qingshan summoned the vest, because if the vest appeared directly in front of everyone, it would arouse their vigilance and might be attacked, so the vest appeared randomly in this building. Li Qingshan listened with his ear tilted.
He stood up with a frown and said to everyone, "I think I heard some noise, I want to go check it out."
The others stood up and said, "Let's go together."
Li Qingshan nodded, turned around and walked in the direction of the sound. Soon he saw the person who made the noise, his new vest, a resident who seemed to be wandering around the building, a ghost in the building.
When the vest saw Li Qingshan, his eyes lit up, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he walked over in two steps. Everyone around him was alert.
Li Qingshan took a step forward without changing his expression, walked in front of everyone, and came into contact with the vest. The vest grabbed him and was very happy: "Great! Are you looking for me?"
Everyone was startled and looked at Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan pretended not to know about this situation. He was slightly stunned and smiled to the vest: "Yes, I came to see you specially, but this place is too hard to find. I went around in circles and almost couldn't find it. Fortunately, you came."
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming and give me a call? I would have run downstairs to pick you up immediately. Why would you have to come upstairs and wander around for a long time without finding my door?" The vest smiled and pulled Li Qingshan, saying with great familiarity and enthusiasm.
Li Qingshan licked his lips and asked tentatively: "We haven't seen each other for a while. How should I address you? Like before, or should I just call you by your name? Or, do you have any new ideas recently?"
Ma Jia waited for this moment to say his name, and said with a silky smile: "Why should we be polite? We are old friends for so many years! You didn't come before because you were always busy. Now that you are here, what else can I care about? You can still call me Ah Jin like before."
Li Qingshan blinked and asked in an uplifting tone: "So should I really call you that, Ah Jin?"
Ah Jin smiled and nodded. He said happily: "That's it, I'll take you to my house! Didn't you say you couldn't find it? I'll take you in, you'll definitely find it next time you come, and it doesn't matter if you really can't find it, I'll wait for you here."
Li Qingshan was infected by him, and said with crooked eyes: "Okay."
Before he finished speaking, he was grabbed by the hand by Alan behind him. He saw Alan, and Alan shook his head at him. Ah Jin was stunned for a moment, not understanding what their relationship was. He showed a hurt expression, looked at Li Qingshan eagerly and asked: "Do you have a new friend?"
Li Qingshan was like a cat with its fur standing on end, and quickly said: "No! This is my colleague."
Ah Jin thought: "It seems that you still have work to discuss. I can wait for a while, but if it takes too long, I won't wait for you. It's late now, I want to go home and rest."
Li Qingshan nodded repeatedly: "I understand, don't worry, it will be fine in a while."
Ah Jin nodded slightly, walked to the side to wait, looked up at the sky, and moved his ears slightly, but the direction was towards Li Qingshan. He was listening to them talking.
"It's obvious. We have been looking back and forth so many times, and we haven't found anyone. This person who suddenly appeared must be problematic. You must not go with him." Ah Lan said to Li Qingshan sternly.
Shen Xingchen glanced at Ah Jin and said to Li Qingshan with a worried look: "I think so too. Although he looks harmless, who knows if he plans to trick you into his house and then change his appearance and eat you?"
The others nodded: "This is not a good place. Maybe there is a trap! He is the bait or simply a trap. He wants to take you and us there and kill us all."
Li Qingshan tried to convince them: "It may not be that dangerous. After all, he didn't show up before. If he really wanted to kill us, wouldn't it be better to do it earlier? If he doesn't show up and attacks us directly from behind, won't we be more likely to die?"
The others looked at him worriedly, as if you were influenced by him.
Li Qingshan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He changed his direction and stopped trying to persuade them. Instead, he tried to get them to agree to let him go. They just needed to watch from a distance. "Maybe he is really in danger, but if we don't try, we will never know the real situation.
I am willing to try. You don't have to go with me. Just stay by my side and watch me. If I die, you write down the information. If I live, maybe we can get out. That's a good thing."
Everyone looked at each other hesitantly and discussed it briefly. Finally, under Li Qingshan's efforts and sincerity, they gave in and agreed to let him go alone, but they didn't agree to stay far away from him because it would be inconvenient to rescue him if he was too far away.
Li Qingshan said gratefully, "We can definitely get out."
Everyone smiled and thought he just said a beautiful wish.
Li Qingshan turned and walked towards Ah Jin. Ah Jin's face lit up, and he looked at Li Qingshan, walked up to him, held him, and asked happily: "Are you willing to visit my home?"
Li Qingshan also held him, and said with a smile: "Why not? Let's go to your home now."
Ah Jin nodded, and was about to take him away, but hesitated and asked in a low voice: "What about the companions around you? Will they go with you?"
Everyone following Li Qingshan felt that Ah Jin was asking knowingly. Although they were separated by a distance just now, they were not standing far away, and they should be able to hear their conversation.
What's more, the people who appeared here were definitely not ordinary people. Although their voices were low, they were not completely silent. How could they not hear it?
This was probably another language trap. They looked at Li Qingshan with great concern, ready to rush up and rescue the people at any time.
Li Qingshan knew that he should be alert at this time, but he was facing his own vest, so he could only pretend to be alert for a while, and soon relaxed, and smiled at Ah Jin: "They don't plan to go to your house. After all, they have never met you before. It doesn't seem good to come to your house rashly without bringing any gifts. They can just wait for me outside."
Ah Jin's eyes widened, as if he had heard something incredible, and he said in surprise: "How can that be? People are at the door of the house but don't go in. If others see them, they will think I deliberately stopped them outside! I still have to live here." I can't let them ruin my reputation.
As he was about to bypass Li Qingshan, he waved to the people behind him. Li Qingshan grabbed him, smiled as if nothing had happened, and advised: "It's not good to ask them to change their minds so quickly. Let me go to your house and sit for a while. It's getting late, and it's not easy for them to find a place to stay or go out. Naturally, they are willing to come to your house.
But if you let them go to your house with us now, they won't be willing, and they may even suspect you and want to do something bad. You don't want to cause trouble. Are you upset?"
Ah Jin hesitated for a moment: "I'll listen to you this time. I'll let them come to my house as guests after a while. Let's go first."
Li Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Okay."
The two entered Ah Jin's home. Li Qingshan walked behind and asked him not to close the door. He glanced at the people behind Li Qingshan and frowned slightly. Although he still wanted to close the door, he agreed to it because these people might be outside the door and to avoid them from doing something without his knowledge.
Li Qingshan sat happily on the sofa in the living room. Everyone looked at him from the door and was surprised. They were surprised that he was so natural, as if he was at home. He didn't have any fear at all, and even the vigilance seemed to be eliminated.
Alan frowned: "He is so relaxed. It must be that the person who suddenly appeared did something to him, which led to this result. He was very alert before this person appeared."
Shen Xingchen nodded: "He was indeed very alert when he saw us, which is completely different from now. It is certain that the person inside must have done something when talking to him."
Others became worried: "Then when should we go in? If it is too late, it may be useless to go in. If he refuses to go with us even if we pull him, then we can't save him."
Alan thought for a while: "We'll have to wait and see."
Shen Xingchen agreed: "Let's take it one step at a time."
Ah Jin poured Li Qingshan a glass of warm water: "The temperature just dropped yesterday, and it rained heavily at night. Now I'm lying in bed wrapped in a quilt to rest. That's perfect, but if you're sitting in the living room, you'd better drink some hot water."
Li Qingshan took the glass of water and felt the temperature of the glass, which was very warm but not hot: "Thank you!"
Ah Jin smiled, sat next to him, looked at him and said: "We haven't seen each other for a long time. Now I see you, you are different from before, your appearance has changed a little, your personality has changed, but fortunately your gender has not changed, otherwise I would not know what to do. Dare to admit it."
Li Qingshan was drinking water, and when he heard him say this, he almost choked and quickly moved the cup away: "Generally speaking, gender will not change. After all, changing gender costs a lot of money."
Ah Jin was silent for a moment: "You are right, if I had money, I would not live here. It's a pity that you can still come here, but it's a pity that you haven't become rich after so many years?"
The people outside the door were shocked again.
"He is not going to start a killing spree soon, is he?"
"That doesn't sound good."
"Yes, it sounds like a warning of an impending attack."
People looked at each other and prepared for the attack again.
Li Qingshan thought for a moment: "There is no way. If it is not for good luck, it is impossible to suddenly become rich, right? At this time, it is impossible to make a lot of money by working hard. This is not something I can decide. I don't want to die of exhaustion."
Ah Jin lowered his eyes and nodded slightly: "You are still the same as before."
Li Qingshan tried to change the subject: "How are you living here?"
Ah Jin raised his head and looked at him, with no expression on his face, a lazy mood spread: "Just Just like usual, there is no difference, but it is much better than before. I am sure that I never want to go back to that time. "
Li Qingshan nodded, feeling that this topic was a bit dangerous, and looked at the big black TV on the table not far away: "When was it bought?"
Ah Jin smiled, as if he saw his intention, but still agreed with him: "I bought it not long after I arrived here, otherwise it would not look like this. This is already a very old model. We used it when we were young. You saw it then, too."
Li Qingshan nodded as if he really had such a memory: "I saw it when I was a child, but it was so long ago that I can't remember it clearly. I suddenly saw it and found it a little novel. Do you usually see it?"
Ah Jin stood up: "I have seen it, but not very often. Since you are here, let's take a look together, just as if we were entertaining guests. I don't have anything else to entertain you, just take a look."
Li Qingshan sat upright on the sofa and looked at him: "Okay."
Ah Lan was watching from outside the door. Looking at the two of them, they whispered, "Will ghosts appear when we turn on the TV?"
Shen Xingchen scratched his neck, "Shouldn't that be the case?"
The others looked troubled, "Maybe a lot of ghosts will appear, then we have to think about how to run without running into them."
Ah Jin walked to the TV and pressed the switch. The TV slowly lit up, and white snowflakes appeared on the black screen. After a while, the snowflakes covered the entire screen, flashing in waves and making a sizzling sound.
It sounded so good that people couldn't help but shiver, as if the temperature had dropped again without realizing it.
After turning on the TV, Ah Jin stood beside it for a while, looking at the screen, as if he could see something else through the snowy screen. After watching for a while, he came to his senses and turned to look at Li Qingshan. Li Qingshan blinked at him and showed an expression of ignorance.
Ah Jin stared at Li Qingshan for a while, walked over to him, sat down and asked, "How's the TV?"
Li Qingshan glanced at the snowy screen: "Not bad."
Ah Jin smiled: "Do you like it?"
Li Qingshan felt embarrassed: "I like it."
Ah Jin glanced at the TV: "The heroine is pretty good at slapping, right?"
Li Qingshan looked at the snowy screen and said: "It seems so."
Ah Jin looked at Li Qingshan again: "You don't seem to like this kind of thing?"
Li Qingshan paused: "I don't usually watch TV."
Ah Jin nodded: "Then let's not watch it for now."
There was a loud bang outside, and suddenly it started to rain. The ground was soon soaked, and the whole world appeared a gray-blue color. It looked cold, wet, and dark.
Amid the crackling sound of rain and the flickering of the snow screen, Ah Jin walked to the TV, took a black remote control from the top of the TV, pressed the red button, and the TV flashed twice. A woman with disheveled hair in white appeared in the TV, standing on tiptoe in the distance. The snow vase disappeared for a moment.
Li Qingshan stared at the woman in white.
The TV screen suddenly went black. Both the snow screen and the person disappeared. Only the scene in the living room was gradually reflected. It looked very peaceful. Li Qingshan looked at his reflection on the TV screen.
Ah Jin pressed the TV switch again, and the red dot that symbolized the TV was on went out. Ah Jin put the remote back on the top of the TV, walked back to the sofa and sat down, and said to Li Qingshan: "I haven't watched TV for a while, and I don't know what's popular recently."
Li Qingshan thought for a while: "Yeah."
Ah Jin looked at him, and the corners of his lips curled up emotionlessly: "You really know how to talk to me."
Li Qingshan touched his arm and said: "I seem to be a little cold."
Ah Jing stood up: "There are clothes in my bedroom, I'll get them for you."
Li Qingshan nodded.
Ah Jin pushed open the bedroom door and walked in. Li Qingshan looked inside the door. There was a window, a desk, a bed, and a large wardrobe. Ah Jin went in, opened the wardrobe, flipped through it, picked out a red hoodie, walked out, and handed the clothes to Li Qingshan: "It should be wearable, you can make do with it."
Li Qingshan took the clothes and looked at them: "It's good."
He said and put the clothes on.
Everyone outside the door was nervous.
Alan murmured to himself: "Don't let anything happen, don't let anything happen."
Shen Xingchen put his hands together and prayed: "I hope this dress won't turn into something weird when you put it on."
His teammates followed suit and prayed: "I hope this dress isn't some weird thing that requires peeling off the skin to take it off."
Li Qingshan was not nervous at first, but when he heard them talking about it outside the door, his heart was in his throat. He put on the clothes, looked at Ah Jin and asked: "Does it look normal?"
Ah Jin nodded and said: "Normally."
He reached out and straightened Li Qingshan's clothes: "I thought you wouldn't fit in this dress, but it's so suitable. I should have given it to you earlier."
Li Qingshan smiled embarrassedly: "I wasn't here earlier, Ah."
Ah Jin stretched out his hand: "That's it."
He looked away and asked in a frustrated tone: "Will you come again in the future?"
Li Qingshan looked at him: "Maybe."
Ah Jin asked more sadly: "My TV is broken and may need repairs in a while. Do you know any good repairmen? I don't know much about this."
Li Qingshan squinted his eyes and thought to himself that I don't know either, but he thought for a moment and said: "It doesn't matter. There should be repairmen in large supermarkets. Don't they all sell electrical appliances?"
Ah Jin nodded casually, thinking: "It seems so."
He suddenly asked: "How have you been recently?"
