Chapter 1720 In the Deadly Game 7
After going upstairs, Jiang Xinxin didn't want to move much. Ruan Lanzhu resigned himself to picking up everyone downstairs. The bespectacled landlord gave each person a raw egg as usual, reminding everyone to attend the triplets' birthday party in three days. During that time, they must keep the eggs well and not let them break, otherwise bad things would happen.
Xu Xiaocheng spent a lot of money to ask Ruan Lanzhu to guide him, so he obviously knew more about the inside story of the world of doors than a pure newcomer, so he was very careful with the eggs given to him, and when choosing a room, he resolutely chose to sleep on the floor in Ruan Lanzhu and Ling Jiushi's room.
Jiang Xinxin looked at Ruan Lanzhu's suffocating expression and lowered her head to suppress her laughter. Before Ruan Lanzhu could attack her, she spoke up and got down to business: "The triplets' birthday party is in three days. It's very likely that we only have three days to find the door and the key. Otherwise, we might die."
The three newbies started making a fuss again, and Jiang Xinxin continued to remind them, "Remember the triplets' names? There are certain taboos within the sect, and anyone who breaks them will be killed by the sect gods. Now, besides the eggs, the triplets and their names may also be taboos, so if the triplets come out and ask if you can tell them apart, you'd better really know."
Verbal threats only work for a while. Looking at the rolling eyes of the big guy among the three newcomers, Jiang Xinxin and Ruan Lanzhu knew that he might not survive the night.
After they each chose their own room, Ling Jiushi told Ruan Lanzhu the story of the Firxia bird he had researched. Ruan Lanzhu analyzed, "Now it seems that the wizards here letting the triplets carry eggs doesn't necessarily mean harm to the triplets, but if the eggs fall to the ground, it will definitely violate a taboo."
Ling Jiushi also agreed with this statement and suggested asking Jiang Xinxin to investigate the situation of the apartment building together. Xu Xiaocheng, who reported the name Tan Zaozao, brought Jiang Xinxin over.
The four of them walked down the stairs. Many floors seemed deserted until they reached the seventh floor, where there was a little boy holding an egg in his mouth, just like the triplets. As they were walking around the seventh floor, not only did the lights in the corridor flicker, but even the flashlights on everyone's cell phones flickered.
Tan Zaozao clearly felt that her skin was drying up rapidly after she came to the seventh floor.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinxin immediately told everyone to continue going downstairs and quickly leave the seventh floor. "The magnetic field here is disturbed. We came out to investigate. Knowing that there is a problem here is enough. There is no need to waste time stubbornly."
Ruan Lanzhu agreed to Jiang Xinxin's proposal. Ling Jiushi and Tan Zaozao were willing to follow Ruan Lanzhu and Jiang Xinxin, so everyone went down to the fourth floor and finally saw signs of life again.
After knocking on the door, Ruan Lanzhu discovered a slovenly, eccentric man wearing strange glasses who claimed to be a scientist. He inquired about the situation on the seventh floor, and was pleasantly surprised to hear, "Actually, this building is located at the singularity of a collapsed static wormhole."
"Oh, let me tell you a secret. I have the time, opportunity, and opportunity!"
Everyone was speechless, so Tan Zaozao asked directly, "What's going on on the fourteenth floor? Do you know?"
Who knew that when this Frankenstein heard that it was the 14th floor, he would just close the door and refuse to communicate. Everyone had no choice but to continue searching downstairs, and only when they reached the first floor did they finally see that someone was living there again.
After knocking on the door, I discovered that the resident was an elderly woman with silver hair and glasses. She acted mad and stupid from the start, but after being exposed by Ruan Lanzhu, she was forced to reveal a useful clue: "If you don't leave before 12:35 pm, the door to the apartment will open and a thick fog will engulf everything here."
But the old lady didn't say which day it was at 12:35, so everyone could only return to the 14th floor in disappointment.
Ling Jiushi was about to go wash up with a basin and a towel. He ran into two other newcomers on his way out, but they were stopped by the triplets. The girl in the middle directly asked the large guy in the middle, "Do you know who I am?"
The big guy was so careless that he had long forgotten Jiang Xinxin's reminder and said nonchalantly, "I don't know."
The little girl in the middle seemed to want to give the big guy another chance and asked again, "You really don't know who I am?"
The big guy was completely impatient. Ling Jiushi even guessed that if there weren't other people here, he might have pushed the triplets away. "Who cares who you are? I need to take a shower. Get out of the way!"
Ling Jiushi suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, but the big guy had already strode into the bathroom. After thinking about it, he finally followed him in. He just hurriedly washed his face and hurried out.
At this moment, the egg in the big guy's hand was knocked to the ground by a hand that suddenly appeared, and it shattered. The big guy ran out and started to make a fuss when he saw Ling Jiu: "What's wrong with you? Don't you know that eggs are important? How dare you knock my egg down?!"
When the big guy was about to hit Ling Jiu, he was stopped by Ruan Lanzhu who came over after hearing the noise. Seeing that nothing happened to him, the big guy put aside the matter of the eggs and went back to take a shower.
On the way back to their room, Ruan Lanzhu and Ling Jiushi encountered the triplets blocking their way again.
The triplets asked the two if they recognized them?
Ruan Lanzhu immediately recognized that the first person on his right was his youngest sister Xiaoyi, the one in the middle was his second sister Xiaoshi, and the one on the far left was his eldest sister Xiaotu.
Ruan Lanzhu answered correctly and told the triplets to go home quickly, but the triplets said, "This is not our home."
Ruan Lanzhu and Ling Jiushi's expressions suddenly changed. Just as they were about to ask a few more questions to get more information, they were interrupted by the landlord who followed them: "Okay, we've been out for a while, come back with me."
There was a sinister tone in the man's words, and Ling Jiushi was startled.
After the triplets were taken away, Jiang Xinxin and Tan Zaozao had finished washing up. Since they had met each other, they simply went to Jiang Xinxin's room to sort out the clues.
Ling Jiushi took the initiative to say, "Just now... Zhu Meng said the triplets' names correctly. The triplets said this is not their home. So according to the story of the Firxia Bird, the owner of this house is the wizard who kidnapped the triplets. He is most likely the door god."
Ruan Lanzhu nodded, confirming the clues Ling Jiushi had told him.
Jiang Xinxin said, "I noticed that the decoration styles on the fourteenth, fourth, and first floors, where people live, are very different. That weirdo and the old lady didn't open the door very wide. I didn't see anything like a calendar, so I can only tell from the decoration styles that they seem to be in different time periods."
"So the time machine that the Frankenstein on the fourth floor mentioned is very likely real. We should be able to use it later."
Tan Zaozao was a sharp-witted person, and he immediately realized that the most important clue might be on the seventh floor. "So the time and space disorder on the seventh floor is probably because someone on the seventh floor used a time machine, or someone used a time machine to go to the seventh floor?"
