The Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 14: Robbing a corpse

"Do you think, what was up with Kong Yun just now?" Lin Sanjiu asked, her voice filled with doubt as they climbed the stairs, accompanied by the soft sound of footsteps. "Why did she act that way when it came to drinking water..."

"Who knows," Lu Ze glanced at the items he was carrying, "Maybe she has a lot of boxes of water at home and is afraid we'll rob her if we find out."

That wasn't impossible. Lin Sanjiu tried to recall if she had ever seen Kong Yun before, but she couldn't remember at all. She was silent for a few seconds, listening to the soft footsteps of the three echoing in the corridor.

"Anyway, let's be more careful when we go down later," Mather concluded.

As they spoke, they turned a corner on the stairs and saw a large "38". "Here we are," Lin Sanjiu stood at the stairwell, took a deep breath, opened the slightly ajar door, and stepped into the room.

The emergency door of the house that led to the stairs was next to the nanny's room. Coming out of the corridor in front of the nanny's room led to the living room. They walked in, glanced around, and Lu Ze was the first to exclaim in amazement: "... Xiao Jiu, what did you used to do? This apartment is just too big—oh, there's even a private elevator in your living room?"

Lin Sanjiu glanced at the living room—it was still the same, the delicate and steady solid wood floor was covered with broken glass, the sofa was knocked askew, and the floor was in a mess. Even the filleting knife she used to attack Ren Nan for the first time was still lying in the same place. It seemed that no one had come since she left.

"This is not my home," she responded indifferently, kicking the broken glass under her feet to the side. "It was Ren Nan who deceived me here. This is not his house either, he ate the original owner of this house, then lived here himself, taking over the nest."

When mentioning this matter again, her unexpected calmness surprised herself.

Seeing Lin Sanjiu enter the bedroom while speaking, Lu Ze threw himself onto the sofa. He immediately sank into the wide and soft sofa, letting out a satisfied sigh: "Mmm—this is really comfortable. It's much better than the supermarket's bath towel... How about we take a nap here?"

Mather made a "tsk" sound.

Listening to the conversation outside the room, Lin Sanjiu smiled faintly, picked up her sleeping pants from the bed, reached in, and sure enough, she touched a card, which was 【Ren Nan's Corpse】.

Looking at the simple drawing on the card, being in this nightmare-familiar room, she couldn't help but think of the snow-white face watching her every night—shivering, Lin Sanjiu quickly put away the card.

The set of clothes she was wearing could almost drop salt particles when shaken, it was long overdue for a change—Lin Sanjiu couldn't imagine how much sweat she had produced in the past day—clicking her tongue in amazement, she quickly changed her clothes and found two satchels, packing a lot of convenient clothes and shoes for activity.

After tidying up and coming out, she saw that the two were in the kitchen, the rice bag was already open; and Lu Ze was trying to stop Mather from cooking: "Mather, it's not easy for us to carry some water and rice up... No, no, I don't think your cooking is bad, mainly, mainly, porridge is too simple, it's like using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken..."

Lin Sanjiu chuckled softly, the lingering chill in her heart just now faded away.

Hearing her voice, Lu Ze hurriedly said, "Ah, Xiao Jiu is out, let's check the body first, and then talk about eating, okay?"

Mather, with a dark face, put down the pot with a clang and walked into the living room.

"Her cooking is terrible," Lu Ze took the opportunity to gesture behind her, mouthing to Lin Sanjiu, "Don't let her cook, please."

Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but turn away with a smile, cleared her throat, and said, "…I'll just put him here, okay?"

The other two nodded.

With a flash of white light, a human-shaped dark shadow fell out of Lin Sanjiu's palm and fell heavily on the floor with a thud.

Excited eyes, a huge mouth split to the cheeks, and the blood-red knife tip protruding from the mouth... Seeing the corpse again after a day, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but shudder in her heart and averted her gaze. Then, she forced herself to turn her face back, trying to remain calm.

Lu Ze hissed and took a breath: "Oh, this is also called handsome, your world's standards seem to be different..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was hit by Mather and the rest of the sentence was knocked back.

Lin Sanjiu didn't bother to explain, a bit helplessly put her hand on the knife tip in the corpse's mouth. - After the incident with Wang Sisi, she had realized that this ability allowed her to transform four items a day, not just four times. Seeing that it was not yet twelve o'clock, the chef's knife was at least a weapon, so she might as well keep it - as soon as she made up her mind, a brief flash of white light passed, and the knife disappeared in her palm.

The corpse without a weapon looked a little more acceptable.

"I just checked in the room, he doesn't have any backpacks or boxes... I've been living here for a few months, and I don't seem to have seen him carrying any bags with him." Lin Sanjiu plucked up the courage and simply sat down. In the corner of her eye, that huge mouth was still stiffly split.

"You don't understand," Lu Ze licked his rabbit teeth and said with a smile, "Let me give you a lesson by the way!" As he spoke, he actually reached out and untied the corpse's collar.

"In the new world, we may all get some high-value special items due to opportunities... No, you don't have to show me, that kitchen knife is not a treasure... Killing someone is not counted either." Lu Ze's hands were flexible and fast, feeling around the corpse's neck and chest, coupled with his excited bright eyes, it was simply - like a p*****t.

"If you have a few good things, you must remember, you can't casually put them in a bag and walk around... Otherwise, if you meet someone with ulterior motives, it's okay if they rob you, but what's feared is robbery and murder."

Lu Ze didn't stop talking, and his hands didn't stop either. Soon, he reached for Ren Nan's ear - then, Lin Sanjiu's gaze followed his white fingers to a black obsidian earring; she immediately said with a smile: "This is not a treasure..."

Before the words just started, Lu Ze had already pulled out the black obsidian earring - before Lin Sanjiu could react, a burst of silver light suddenly burst out, "ding" a sound, the earring fell to the ground. And the silver light was still shining brightly on Lu Ze's hand, illuminating half of the living room.

"...What is this?" Lin Sanjiu stupidly put her face close, and then found out that what Lu Ze was holding was a transparent bottle, inside which was a constantly flowing silver light.

Lu Ze was squinted by the silver light, reading word by word: "Ability Polishing Agent... Note, not suitable for primary evolution..."

Seeing the puzzled look on Mather and Lu Ze, it was clear that they had probably never heard of this polisher. However, although there were still many doubts, just by listening to the name, it was probably possible to guess about 70-80%: it is likely to have a strengthening or enhancing effect on abilities? Lin Sanjiu was thinking while examining the beautiful silver light bottle.

Although the thing was good, the three people present were not combat-oriented, and they had not evolved much - although Lu Ze always refused to admit it - so they didn't care much, and casually put it aside.

"It's really strange... I gave him that earring, how could there be such a thing hidden inside?" Lin Sanjiu looked at Lu Ze continue to search, puzzled asked Mather.

"All special items have a strange characteristic: they can completely integrate themselves into another item in the form of molecules - of course, only one thing can be hidden in one thing. When you want to take them out, they will detach in the form of molecules, reorganize, and return to their original appearance. So for safety reasons, everyone will keep their precious things close to the body," Mather tried to explain the process as simply as possible, she pointed to Lu Ze and said, "Look."

Lin Sanjiu, who was stunned, foolishly turned her head to look.

What Lu Ze was holding was Ren Nan's ever-present Patek Philippe watch. As an evolver, he only pressed a few times on the dial to find the target; then a black shadow suddenly slipped out of the watch, fell to the ground with a "pa" sound, and quickly condensed into a wallet shape.

Lin Sanjiu opened her mouth, picked up the wallet, and opened it with a kind of almost reverent mood.

The wallet was not big, just the size of a palm, and there was no bill folder in the usual wallet - it was more like a card holder than a wallet. After flipping through it, she found that there was nothing else in it except for a piece of paper.

Using the ability to polish the agent as illumination, Lin Sanjiu pulled out the pieces of paper.

The heads of the three people gathered together.

In the first ten seconds after the gaze fell, several people had not yet reacted; after staring at it for a few more seconds, Lin Sanjiu suddenly took a breath - she looked up at the other two a little incredulously and a bit at a loss, then almost involuntarily lowered her head again, and read the line of words just now.

Yes, it's true -

Mather and Lu Ze also realized what this was. Mather's voice was a bit trembled: "I didn't make a mistake, this is -"

Suddenly, a "bang" came from the direction of the emergency door, interrupting her.
