Chapter 12 I · Tang Lou · The Disappearing Door

——Could it be that, as the master predicted, all the pursuits and killings today are the work of real estate developers or land development companies? I have no time to distract myself from trying to figure out who the black hand is. The escape itself is already busy enough. If you can't even save your life, guess the black hand has a fart?Not even the smallest consolation prize. Lin and I left her house, ran downstairs, crossed two streets, and met a few more punks. "Three, four. Three, four." "Live demonstration, complete experience." "Surreal feeling, unparalleled."

We got into another tenement building, and the door was a mess of signs: drugs, counterfeit goods, virtual sex, and other contraband.The situation seems to be worse than Lin's, and the product flow is even more complicated. We don't care about that and keep going. "You said you were looking for help, why did you bring me here?" "The helper lives here." "In this kind of place?" Yes, I also want to ask how you live in this area where dragons and snakes are mixed together?And you're still a woman, it's really not easy. However, I decided not to digress.I don't have that much curiosity, I just want to focus on solving immediate problems.Climbing up to the second floor, there is no door on the floor, so I had to go up again, and the lights above my head became more and more dim.There was no doorway for two consecutive floors, and after going up to the third floor, a narrow door was finally found.

When I opened it, only one person was allowed to pass through. Behind the door is a long corridor. Through the hallway, turn, still hallway, like never-ending.There are no doors on the walls on both sides, only posters, and they are nostalgic posters, most of the products advertised on them have disappeared from the market. We turned left and right, as if entering a maze. Lin was a little impatient, "When I come to this kind of place, I hope there is a grating that can go straight to the door." I shook my head, "No, there will never be a grating here." "Of course, the grating company will not set up gratings in private buildings, otherwise it will consume resources."

"That's not the reason. The maze itself is a defense system. It takes us time to walk. Apart from checking whether there are suspicious weapons on us, it doesn't let us go directly to the destination." She nodded suddenly. She really has little knowledge, and I'm not much better, but at least I know a little more than her. At this time we also just went to the end of the maze. It's just that there is no door, no window, and no way out here. It is an absolute end. "What trick is it now? Invisible door?" she asked. I also looked blank, "I don't know, when I came last time, there was a door here, why is it gone now?"

Where can we escape?
