The empty elevator stopped alone on the eleventh floor.

"What..." The thin man said subconsciously, but after catching a glimpse of the expressions of the two ladies around him, he silently swallowed the next words.

The little girl's always indifferent expression also showed some fluctuations, showing an expression of surprise and surprise on her face.

And Sister Jiang took a big step backwards in fright.

The reason why they are so excited is entirely because when the elevator doors opened, they looked at them at the same time. It was as if the elevator door was his eyelid, and he opened his eyes.

The elevator doors stayed there for a long time without closing, as if they were letting them go up. This situation really seemed weird, and all the three taskers carefully chose to retreat.

Besides... they don't even dare to take another elevator.

"What do we do now?" said the thin man, and he looked at room 1104 again. "Your sister...don't know where it is."

Sister Jiang frowned and murmured: "Yes...where is she?"

Where is Shuangmei Jiang?

The audience in the live broadcast room can answer this question.

"My mother, I'm so anxious...Your sister is at 1104!!"

Yes, Jiang Shuangmei was in 1104. The reason she didn't answer the door was because she was trapped.

She was locked in the bedroom.

This looks unremarkable, but the room in the bedroom of more than ten square meters is full of a strange atmosphere at the moment. Shuangmei Jiang wrapped herself in the quilt, shivering.

She felt that her cold feet had begun to stiffen, not knowing whether it was because of fear or too cold.

Because it's really cold.

This may be an autumn night, the outside temperature is about 20 degrees, but the central air conditioner that turns on automatically in the room, but forcibly set the temperature to 16 degrees in the cooling mode, no matter how she adjusts the temperature on the wall The buttons are useless.

...It's really cold.

She can't get out of this bedroom because the door is locked. Considering that there may be shared tenants, in order to protect the safety of the tenants, the property of Rocco Apartments is equipped with a separate electronic code lock for each bedroom.

And now, the code lock locked her in the bedroom.

She thought about opening the window, but this nightmare is probably not allowed to escape from the bedroom in this way. She also thought about destroying the door directly, but she did not find any usable items in the bedroom.

In the end, she had to admit that she did not have the flexible mind of her sister. Shuangmei Jiang, who was shivering from the cold, wrapped herself in the quilt.

That sight... still looking at her. This time it was from the beginning. She already knows that there is a problem with the furniture in this room, but she has nothing to do...

Is it possible for her to fight against the air conditioner installed in the wall? !

Jiang Shuangmei fell into despair. She faintly heard what seemed to be a noise outside, but she couldn't leave this bedroom at all. If she gets out of the quilt, she will freeze to death.

The air conditioner seems to be fully using the remaining refrigerant. The air-conditioning blowing from the air outlet makes one want to see the whirring north wind in the twelfth lunar month of winter, and it is not too satisfying to not blow people into ice sculptures.

Jiang Shuangmei didn't even dare to put her hand out of the quilt.

At the beginning of the second round of the nightmare, Jiang Shuangmei was still immersed in the fear of suffocation. She appeared in the bedroom at the beginning, and after spending a little time calming down her fear, she found that she was locked.

Of course she wants to leave!

If possible, of course she wants to escape this apartment, even this apartment building.

She already knew the danger of this nightmare. She wanted to tell her sister... But she seemed unable to do it. This round of nightmares... Is she going to die again? Or even a new way of death? Frozen to death by the air conditioner at home?

She was dizzy, and her excessive fear and panic made her brain more and more frozen. As she frantically wondered what to do, she wrapped herself in a quilt like an ostrich.

This is her nightmare again after a few years. And it was the first time that she left her sister and faced a nightmare alone.

She thought, she was really a waste.

She curled up into a ball, making a hoarse cry under the quilt. She cursed this world, this narrow building, cursed human beings, cursed everything...everything she could think of.

She cried hoarsely, as if the shadow of death was still floating around her. The intensity of her crying made people wonder if she was going to die in the next second, so she wanted to cry to the full.

She didn't know how long it had passed...until her voice became hoarse, and she suddenly felt hot.

She was even sweating under the quilt.

what…? !

She suddenly turned over and sat up. I don't know when, the operation of the air conditioner has stopped, and even the bedroom door has opened a small slit.

She can go out!

But... why? Why... just because she cried? ? Damn, how is this possible? !

Shuangmei Jiang sat there, dumbfounded, her eyes still filled with tears, and her eyes were still red and swollen. But she can leave this **** bedroom!

She stood up in a hurry, before she even had time to think more, stumbled and ran out of the door. After leaving the bedroom, she didn't even dare to look back, nor to look at the bathroom with the door ajar.

She left her apartment directly.

Then she saw the empty corridor.

Sister Jiang has left the eleventh floor with the thin man and the little girl.

After knocking on the door for a long time and no one responded, Jiang Shuangjie could only think that Jiang Shuangmei had indeed left the apartment, but failed to rendezvous with them.

Because of the inexplicable empty elevator just now, the three of them didn't dare to take the elevator anymore, so they could only take the stairs.

Shouzi suggested, "In this case, why don't we explore the whole apartment building? You see, there are stairs on both sides of each floor. We can walk the entire floor every time we go down. , Go around to the opposite staircase.

"In this way, you can also take a look at the situation of this apartment building. If possible, you can also join the other taskers, as well as Big Ringo."

As he said, he carefully glanced at Sister Jiang.

Sister Jiang has no objection to this, she still thinks of her sister worriedly.

She realized that she might have spoiled her sister too much, and even... she didn't know whether Jiang Shuangmei would have the ability to survive alone in a nightmare if she left her.

Sister Jiang couldn't help feeling regret.

However, like the two of them are dependent on each other and trust each other, and Jiang Shuangmei is the kind of lazy and unwilling to use their brains. In this case, how can Jiang Shuangsi not take more care of her sister?

The only regret is probably that I didn't cultivate my sister's independent viability.

She was still thinking secretly, so she didn't listen to the thin man's words carefully at all, and nodded absently.

The thin man was also relieved. Although the muscular man might be a card dealer,...they have never known each other, and Sister Jiang has no evidence, so he doesn't know who to trust.

In other words, he wanted no one to believe it.

However, the nightmare came to the second round, and they still didn't get any information. The only possible source is the tasker who died in the last round—and that is most likely the sister of Sister Jiang!

This is the reason why the thin man is willing to deal with Sister Jiang, otherwise, he may treat Sister Jiang as a muscular man, and also keep away from Sister Jiang.

In any case, at this time, the three of them began to walk down the stairs on the eleventh floor, and began to explore layer by layer.

At this time, there are four screens in the live broadcast room.

The three people walking up the stairs, Jiang Shuangmei who just left the apartment, the muscular man and Shen Yunju who started the search from the first floor, and... Ringo.

The rest of the taskers thought that Ringo was still in the apartment building. Many people know that Ringo has a relatively lazy personality, and even in a nightmare, he can still stay away.

Sometimes, some taskers thought, this big guy simply couldn't help but feel sorry for his strength value.

Countless taskers are looking forward to having the strength of Ringo, and then...whatever, whether it is lawlessness in a narrow building or doing whatever you want in a nightmare, there is always something you can do.

But Ringo... Ringo was like an ascetic monk.

I blamed others for saying that there was something wrong with his brain.

He has such a powerful force value, but he is still completing his nightmare step by step. Moreover, he does not go to a higher floor, but just mixes on the bottom-just like some taskers said, he is completely abusing food.

Other taskers cannot understand his behavior. And Ringo never seemed to have explained it.

Xu Bei knew that Ringo was not even interested in nightmares and even the narrow buildings. Now he knew, it might be because Ringo had no memory of the earth at all.

He didn't know where he came from, he was born in the narrow building from the beginning, and naturally, he would not want to leave the narrow building.

Moreover, he has such a force value, even in a narrow building, he can live comfortably.

He is the uncrowned king at the bottom of the narrow building—meaning, it depends on some of the clothes he wears, which are all kindly sent by some commodity merchants after a while.

Although Ringo didn't say anything, in the nightmare, if he met those commodity merchants, or some other people who pleased him, if the other party proved his identity, then Ringo did not hesitate to provide a little help.

It is under this mutually beneficial situation that Ringo can become the uncrowned king on the ground floor of the narrow building.

But... Recently, Ringo seems to have undergone some changes.

Xu Bei looked at Ringo who voluntarily left the apartment building, thinking like this in his heart.

Ringo, who took the initiative to leave the apartment building, happened to avoid the sight of the muscular man and Shen Yunju who were also on the first floor. He made a circle aimlessly near the apartment building.

He seemed to be looking for something, but found nothing. Later, he found that he could leave the area of ​​the apartment building, and when he went to the commercial area, he immediately walked over here.

His intentions were undoubtedly revealed, and Xu Bei couldn't help but wonder-what is Ringo looking for?

But at this moment, Xu Bei has too many things to be curious about.

In almost each of the four pictures, the taskers have their own different experiences happening, which dazzles Xu Bei.

The audience is already wailing: "Why do I only have two eyes!"

"Why can't my eyes be separated to see two pictures!"

"Help, I'm starting to miss the North Commander."

"Beibei, please adjust the camera. I no longer complain about missing some player information when there is only one screen."

Yes, even if there is only one scene in the live room, some information will be missed, but... But if every scene is placed on the screen in the live room, they won't be able to come over!

In the first hour of the nightmare, the taskers were doing the same things, so the audience even got bored. But now, the taskers have begun to scatter and explore, and the audience feels that their eyes are not enough.

Seeing the barrage of "please Beibei focus on a scene" full of screens, Xu Bei was embarrassed. Seriously, he doesn't know which scene is more important now.

For Ringo, he didn't know if Ringo would find him-maybe? He was really afraid of Ringo's too keen intuition.

On Jiang Shuangmei's side, she just walked into the elevator and absently pressed the first floor—the elevator thing, what should I do if it becomes refined?

On the side of Sister Jiang, the thin boy, and the little girl, they seemed to be a little calmer—but they were walking through every corner of the apartment building in a sweeping way. In case you miss something, it is a real miss.

The muscular man and Shen Yun gather here, and the same goes for the three above—and Xu Beijin and the audience know that this muscular man is a card dealer. What if he wants to steal Shen Yunju's prop card?

For a time, Xu Bei was in a dilemma.

Fortunately, he didn't need to be embarrassed soon.

Because Ringo actually found him.

...This is only a few minutes!

Xu Beijin saw in Ringo's screen that this guy actually walked directly to the open-air plaza on the basement floor... which makes no sense! How could he know that he was here.

Xu Bei was puzzled at all times.

But he subconsciously selected one of the scenes, which belonged to Muscle Man and Shen Yunju, enlarged it, and then hid the rest of the scenes. The audience didn't realize that he actually chose one to cover up Ringo's visit to him.

Within a few seconds, Ringo appeared outside his bookstore.

When he saw Xu Beijin, he even waved his hand in surprise, then walked into the bookstore and said: "You are here. I'm still worried about your absence."

Before Xu Beijin had time to lament Ringo's extraordinary intuition, he was confused by his words: "Wait, are you looking for me?"

"You can say that." Ringo touched his chin, and he said, "I just remind you that there are two people...Wait a minute, after leaving the nightmare, do you remember this?"

"I remember." Xu Bei said in a good voice, "What two people?"

Ringo nodded, and it was not surprising that after Xu Beijin left the nightmare, why could he still remember what happened in the nightmare-is there anything wrong with the residents of the narrow building? The strangers in the narrow building, the taskers saw too much, and Ringo didn't think it was strange.

He said: "There are two people walking around outside your house."

Xu Bei was stunned, and he asked in surprise: "You mean... in the narrow building?"

"Yes." Ringo said.

Xu Beijin felt strange immediately.

Why are two people walking around outside his bookstore? Why did Ringo know about this? The most important thing is...Why did Ringo look for him in a nightmare and then tell him about it?

In an instant, all kinds of questions came to my mind.

Xu Bei sighed, feeling tired. He squeezed his nose, and then said, "Little by little. When did you see those two people?"

Ringo didn't feel impatient, and answered honestly: "During the day, I read the book in one go and wanted to return it to you, so I came to you and saw two people outside your house."

Xu Beijin continued to look at him.

Ringo explained a little bit more in detail: "Two people, one thin, one looks like a young girl. They wandered outside your house for a while, and then entered the portal of your neighbor's house.

"I remember that the residents of the narrow building next to you had moved out, thinking it was an empty house. Maybe they would talk about the reason in the house and just follow it.

"But I didn't expect that a new narrow building had moved in, so I entered this nightmare. I think you are next door, maybe you will also appear in this nightmare, so I came to you. But the main thing is to find Those two people."

Ringo explained the ins and outs of the whole thing, and after that, he recalled carefully, then nodded, and said proudly, "That's right."

She seemed to be very proud of her memory.

Xu Bei gave him a helpless look.

He casually pushed the milk tea he had bought to Ringo, and said friendlyly, "Thank you for your reminder. Have you ever had milk tea? I haven't drank this cup before. It tastes good."

Ringo glanced at him in a daze, hesitated for a moment, and then took it. He hesitated, but still didn't say what was in his heart, feeling that it was a little inappropriate.

His thoughts are-worthy of you.

He was drinking milk tea while looking at Xu Beijin. A novel idea grew in his heart. This idea may have gradually appeared in his heart since he visited Xu Beijin's house not long ago.

He wondered curiously, what exactly is this fellow—this narrow-building resident? Why is he... why is it so normal?

Just like those taskers in the past, Ringo was also curious because of some special features of Xu Beijin. The difference was that Ringo was not interested in Xu Beijin's nightmare at all.

Instead, he thought of something else.

He thought, Xu Beijin said that they were friends before. If...this is the case, can he ask directly? Some things about Xu Beijin's living habits.

In any case, he didn't want to upset Xu Bei. After all, he still wants to fight him, wanting to know who is strong and who is weak.

However, apart from fighting, Xu Beijin seemed to arouse some of his other interests.

Ringo sat on the chair at the door of the bookstore, tilted her head, bit the plastic straw of milk tea, and watched Xu Beijin quietly.

He thought, why is Xu Beijin different from the other residents in the narrow buildings?

He knew that the narrow building, or at least the various scenes, stories, etc. in the nightmare, were all based on earth human beings. The rest of the tasks are also known.

However, Xu Beijin's habit, this... attitude towards life in the narrow building is different from the humans in the narrow building he has been in contact with. Why is he even more human than the tasker?

Will this be NE's setting? Is it the background of the game?

Was it forgotten by Ringo, and still belongs to the earth, but no longer belongs to the narrow house lifestyle?

If he continues to have full contact with Xu Bei, is it possible for him to recover his memories? But... is that still him? Now this amnesia, and the one who still has the memory of the earth, which is him?

…Which one is Xu Beijin's confidant friend?

Ringo mused.

Xu Bei didn't know what Ringo was thinking. If he knew, then he might stop Ringo's thoughts, because he felt that he seemed to have brought some unexpected effects to Ringo.

He didn't know that Ringo, who had never been interested in anything, even nightmares and narrow buildings, would suddenly become interested in his lost earth-related memories because of some intersection with him.

He even became curious about Xu Beijin himself.

This kind of curiosity, in a peaceful environment, may be a good thing, maybe it can also give birth to some special hormones. However, in such a gloomy and gloomy place as Zhailou, it is difficult to say whether this is a positive emotion or a negative emotion.

Xu Beijin doesn't want others to be curious about him.

But at this time, Xu Beijin was still thinking about the information Ringo said, and he didn't even notice Ringo's expression.

...Skinny and little girl?

Ringo said that he followed these two men into the nightmare, and these two images almost immediately made Xu Beijin correspond to the two taskers in the nightmare.

But finding the corresponding person was of no avail. Xu Bei couldn't understand why someone would turn around outside his house.

A long time ago, the questers' curiosity about him was exhausted. Xu Bei spent a few years of clean life, but one day, other people's curiosity about his nightmares resurrected? ?

Xu Beijin felt that this was not right.

He himself still looks half-sleeping and dark circles under his eyes every day. It doesn't look like he is planning to go to bed anymore, and it doesn't seem to be a nightmare that he is planning to open himself up.

Sometimes he would go out and go around. If a tasker ran into him at that time, he should also know his current state, so as not to rekindle his curiosity about his nightmare.

Xu Beijin first ruled out doubts about himself.

Then, he began to think about what could make taskers interested in him recently...

Then...then he looked at Ringo.

…Yes, why did he ignore Ringo?

Ringo is the virtually uncrowned king at the bottom of the narrow building... This sentence means that there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him, even though Ringo does not have this self-knowledge, and others dare not provoke Ringo.

Under such circumstances, Ringo suddenly began to collect drinks, and also specially visited a resident of the narrow building... This kind of thing may have been raging among a part of the population of the narrow building.

You see, in the last nightmare, didn't Ding Yi just use this thing to make some deals with Ringo?

Who knows who will send those two people? And its purpose is very clear, mostly to inquire about the relationship between Xu Beijin and Ringo.

Xu Bei couldn't help but feel a little upset, because he didn't even expect that getting involved with Ringo would cause so much trouble.

Not only his trouble, but also Ringo's trouble.

I'm afraid that the idiot Ringo didn't realize it at all... But Xu Bei thought with annoyance that he didn't even think of it. It was so stupid.

Is it really because of the stagnant life in the past few years that his mind has become dull and numb?

However, if he were to go back to the previous moment, let him refuse Ringo's request to visit... Xu Beijin couldn't bear it either. From a certain perspective, he has lived alone in the narrow building for so many years, and he really yearns for some normal communication methods.

Like making a friend... or something.

Ringo was the only, at least the only tasker Xu Beijin had encountered, who was not interested in his nightmares. This is too important for Xu Beijin.

Of course, fighting is impossible, and fighting is impossible in this life.

Xu Bei thought deeply, thinking about how to solve this trouble. But he actually didn't really confirm that the two people came here because of Ringo, and it's not good to be wronged.

…By the way, this nightmare is really unexpectedly gathering a lot of things.

The card dealer, the two guys peeking into his house...and the young man with a strange expression facing the business district.

Up to now, Xu Beijin still has a grudge with that expression. Borrowing a sentence from Ringo, he intuitively thought that under the young man's strange expression, there seemed to be some secret hidden.

He fell into thinking, and thinking about it, he felt big and tired for a while.

At this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a lot of barrage floating on the screen of the live broadcast room.

"Damn! Does this guy want to steal something again!"
