System [I am in a horror dungeon]

Chapter 318: Staying here temporarily and learning important news

"Li Yu'an, this is where I come from, right?"

“Yes…right.”

The four of them walked down the mountain and walked slowly on the street. There were no people or other creatures on the street, but there was no sign of abandonment. It was as if everyone had disappeared, the whole city had become quiet, and time seemed to have stopped again.

Arriving in front of a residential complex, which was exactly the one where Li Jinjia had rented a house before, Chu Lingxian glanced at the time displayed on the bracelet. The time jumped back and forth between 210 and 224, and the surrounding scenery also changed with time.

Here they finally saw someone other than themselves. Li Jinjia recognized him as the landlord, the one who kept selling the house to her and was even willing to rent it out at half price.

At this moment, I was sitting downstairs, lying in a rocking chair, rocking to sleep.

Liu Yuhe looked at the woman in front of him, and an indescribable sour emotion surged in his heart. As he kept walking forward, the emotions in his heart continued to grow. By the time he arrived in front of that person, his eyes were already red. He looked at her carefully, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance into his heart.

"Auntie Landlord, why are you here?"

The woman who was called opened her eyes and when she saw who it was, she smiled and said, "Why are you here again? You said there was something wrong with this house, but I've already refunded it to you, right? Is there anything else?"

"Aunt, we haven't found a place to live yet. Do you have any other houses? We can pay the daily price."

The landlord thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there is another room, but the lighting is not very good and it is a bit damp. I don't know if you can stand it."

"Can we take a look first?"

"Okay, wait for my key."

The landlord got up and went to the first floor, took out a key from the cabinet, looked up at the four women outside, especially the girl who was following the others and looking around curiously. The landlord wiped away the tears that she had left unconsciously and walked out of the room. She was very curious, who was this girl and why did she look so familiar?

When the four people came to the room, there was a damp and moldy smell in the room, but the room was relatively clean. They had been walking for a whole day and were very tired and in urgent need of rest.

Chu Lingxian paid the money and the four of them stayed here temporarily.

When the landlord left, he glanced at the girl at the back. Liu Yuhe turned around and their eyes met. The landlord smiled, closed the door and went out.

Li Jinjia walked around the house and found that except for being a little dark and having a musty smell, everything else was acceptable.

There were two bedrooms in the room, and they rested in the two rooms separately, just like last time in the hotel.

After sleeping until the afternoon, the four of them had a good rest and then started to think about the current problem.

When Li Jinjia woke up, she saw Liu Yuhe lying in a daze on the bed. She remembered that her state had changed since she met the landlord, so she asked, "Liu Yuhe, have you met this landlord before?"

“No, but it feels so familiar.”

"Familiar? If you've never seen it before, why would it feel familiar?"

"I don't know either. And why did I feel like crying when I saw her?"

"Ah?" Li Jinjia didn't know. How could the landlord and Liu Yuhe be related? Even if they were related, what was the relationship? Mother and daughter? Sisters? It shouldn't be grandparents and grandchildren, right?

"Liu Yuhe, besides your sister whom you have only met a few times, do you have other familiar family members and friends?"

Liu Yuhe thought about it, and eliminated the people he thought of one by one. Finally, there was no one left, so he could only shake his head, "No more."

"Is there a possibility that she is your sister?"

The two looked at each other, and Li Jinjia sorted out the matter. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this might be related to her boyfriend.

Liu Yuhe was also thinking about it. The possibility was very low, but it seemed... it was not impossible.

The two of them went to find Chu Lingxian and Lu Nanyin. When they told Chu Lingxian about this idea, Chu Lingxian was not surprised at all. She had the same idea, especially since the landlord's eyes revealed something unusual when he looked at Liu Yuhe.

Lu Nanyin was surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to match the information they knew.

"But now we have no evidence to prove whether this is true or not. Anyway, we are living here temporarily and we still have time to investigate this matter."

When the four of them went out and wandered around outside, they saw a scene that was very different from before. There were many people and a sense of life, but they still observed their surroundings carefully. After all, these people had no faces and were a group of zombies.

Liu Yuhe grabbed Li Jinjia's sleeve and dodged those faceless pedestrians. He was scared and asked Li Jinjia in a low voice: "Why don't they have faces? It looks so weird."

"You can think of them as NPCs in the game. Think about it, the game developers certainly won't describe the identities and faces of all the people very clearly, right? So, they are all copied and pasted, so naturally they don't look like real people."

"That makes sense."

As the two talked and chatted, Liu Yuhe was no longer so scared. He walked side by side with Li Jinjia and observed the surroundings.

Chu Lingxian searched in the crowd, hoping to find someone whose face he could see clearly, but all he saw were a group of faceless people, crowded together so densely that it made people dizzy.

Lu Nanyin suddenly pulled her sleeve, pointed to a store, and said, "That person's face can be seen clearly. Is there any clue?"

The four of them sat in a small shop whose owner's face they could clearly see. It was a 24-hour convenience store. They took some food, paid for it, and then sat in the shop to eat, enjoying a brief moment of leisure.

The boss turned on the small TV in the store, which was playing the news. The four of them ate while watching TV. After a while, they finished eating. Just as they were about to leave, news about the earthquake appeared on the news.

The four of them sat down neatly and listened to the subsequent developments. The news said that this was a small mountain village before, and then in 197, an earthquake occurred at midnight. It was said that that night, mountains collapsed, rivers flowed backwards, and a bloody moon was in the sky. The entire village was buried under the mountain, and the foundation cliffs were also filled up. Some surrounding mountain villages were also affected, but none of them were as severely damaged as here.

Now they know the time of the earthquake. As for Liu Yuhe, no, she said that she saw her sister Liu Yuhe several times later. She did not die in the earthquake. She went home. And as Liu Yuhe said, her parents are still there. Liu Yuhe's wish has come true. She escaped and she met her parents and family.

But what about the women in the villages? What will be their fate?
