Luo An 4 made a sound because Luo An 1 responded.
The ghost doll spoke the message: "Xiao Shuang, if it's convenient, could you come see me? I'm at the 'Food and Sex Pavilion' on the floor above the waterside pavilion. I should have some time to spare this afternoon. When you arrive at the entrance, I'll have a guide meet you."
It's April.
Cheng Shuang calmly pressed the elevator buttons for the next floor in order. She had already found out which floor Feng Jiakang's house was on, so she planned to explore the houses above the waterside pavilion before going to keep her appointment.
Once she has collected enough 'Eye of Penetration' for her own people at the convenience store, she won't be greedy for the rest. If April is willing to treat her honestly, she will tell her this information in exchange.
The young girl carefully planned and screened each floor, basically grasping a small pattern in the arrangement of VIPs' accommodations. It was actually quite simple: one to three maintainers lived on every ten floors in the central city. Feng Jiakang was on the 70th floor, and so on. Floors with the numbers 1 and 5 would generally have people living there.
Of course, it's not absolute. Based on this occupancy ratio, there should be at least 50 maintainers in the central city, so there must be empty rooms on floors numbered 1 or 5. Besides, there are two people living on the 70th floor, Feng Jiakang and Sun Han.
There are only two elevators on the basement level, one of which only stops at specific floors. From a normal perspective, there should be more than one elevator leading to the 100th floor. How could Sun Han's house not have an elevator?
However, she really couldn't understand the level of the Abyss City, which possessed unique technology, as described in the Eye of Penetration card. Could it be some kind of magical science involving spatial overlap?
Thinking too much about things outside your own knowledge is a waste of brain cells.
Cheng Shuang simply gave up thinking and went back to retrieve Luo An No. 3, leaving Luo An No. 2 to act as her informant.
Sure enough, when the elevator reached the 65th floor, there was no sign of anyone living there.
Looking up and down from the terrace and corridor might cause dizziness due to the height, and the lack of reference points could create a visual disparity. However, Cheng Shuang confirmed that she saw a female VIP living diagonally across from her on the 65th floor from her terrace yesterday.
There were constant moaning sounds coming from the VIP room on the 60th floor, from men and women, creating a very chaotic atmosphere.
There are people living on the 55th floor, but no one is home; they've probably gone out to have some fun.
Now her idea is closer to the idea that there are different elevators on the same floor, or perhaps they shouldn't be called elevators, but rather something like conveyor belts.
Vision and cognition can deceive themselves. When she believes she is in an elevator, the rapid flashes of light and shadow make her think that what is passing by is an image of an elevator lobby on a certain floor.
She couldn't actually figure out how the conveyor belt worked.
When Cheng Shuang got off the elevator at number 52, she immediately removed the button from the rooftop, checked the battery level on the card, replaced it with the card that had the lowest battery level, and then stuck it back on.
Since the button became a card, there was no longer any issue with the switch. After using it, the little girl immediately tested it by tapping a silver floorboard directly opposite the button. Although there was no visual change, her foot suddenly dangled through the air.
She quickly pulled her foot back, told the bear cub to go down and catch Luo An No. 3, and told Luo An to check if the gate of the house was locked.
Having retrieved one of the ghost dolls, Luo An's speed increased slightly. Soon after, news came that the window was locked from the inside and could be opened.
Now there's a problem: will the guide wandering around outside notice a little girl coming out of an empty room?
Cheng Shuang pushed the window open a crack, and a small, porcelain-white hand emerged from the gap, holding a mirror and looking around carefully. After observing the surroundings, a figure quickly leaped out, crouched in the corner, and moved slowly. Once it was confirmed that there was no one on the nearest arched bridge or corridor, the little girl picked up Luo An and quickly climbed onto the bridge.
At first glance, the layout of the suspended arch bridges may seem chaotic. There are bridges leading to the same level as well as to other levels, intricately intertwined, but clearly, there is a pattern to it.
The arched bridges connecting the upper and lower levels are laid out in a Z-shape, and the horizontal arched bridges connecting the corridors can reach all the shops on the same level.
Cheng Shuang figured out the pattern and walked exactly like the handsome young men and beautiful young women she had seen yesterday, with light steps and 100% familiarity with finding the way.
The "Food and Sex Building" is not far from the 52-story empty house. With its carved beams and painted pillars, it is very elegant and exudes an indescribable charm, like a young lady's boudoir. The central city is full of similar buildings, and only by getting close can one distinguish their beauty.
Unlike the flamboyant and oversized logos of businesses in the normal world, its small vertical sign hangs on the corner of the door, while several posters promoting the Star and Moon Festival are pasted on the outer wall.
The little girl slowed her pace. She could already see a guide standing in the entrance hall through the large window. She wasn't in a hurry to go in; she wanted to see how the promotional posters described the Star and Moon Festival.
After learning the contents of the promotional poster, Cheng Shuang's chubby little face showed a look of confusion.
Did she wander onto the wrong set? Why did it turn from a horror channel to an art-themed life?
The monsters in the Abyss City are so stylish and artistic!
In summary, the monthly Star and Moon Festival is essentially an art competition, with all activities related to paintbrushes, paper, and artwork.
Regardless of the drawing method, as long as the focus is on the two points of people and landscape, you can draw the most beautiful existence in your heart. In the end, three best scrolls, ten excellent paintings, and twenty creative theme works will be selected, and a special grand prize will be awarded by the judges.
The central city will then be open to the public, and residents and VIPs from both inside and outside the city can participate.
Of course, the twenty-three VIP guests were the main judges.
Each business will have its own unique activities. If a business is selected as an outstanding business by the VIPs, it will have the honor of becoming one of the catering businesses for the Star and Moon Festival Dinner. In the second month, it will be exempt from taxes and fees, and all profits will belong to the business.
There's no doubt that this propaganda is meant for the protectors; the trade in furs is probably the biggest activity the 'indigenous people' engage in during the Star and Moon Festival.
It's terrifying to think about.
Cheng Shuang nervously licked her dry lips. The news needed to be spread quickly; there were only three days left until the Star Moon Festival.
She was certain that the portrait painting that day would stand out and win most of the awards, surpassing all other works.
Are there twenty-three distinguished guests on the judging panel?
Haha, I wonder if the special prize given by the judges will be awarded to them themselves!
It has to be said that Cheng Shuang relaxed, feeling a sense of relief, as if a weight had finally been lifted from her shoulders and she knew when she would be beheaded.
As long as they don't overindulge in food and drink and ruin their health with the properties of frozen food, the maintainers at least don't need to worry about their lives for the next three days, which should be the only thing to be happy about.
The little girl followed the guide, who held his head high and looked down on her, into the 'Food and Sex Pavilion'.
