Xie Chen cursed and walked out of the utility room, but now he didn't see the black figure appearing.
It is estimated that the black figure was also startled by him when he appeared just now.
Maybe it also thought that it would not go to that room for the time being, but it didn't know that it didn't follow the routine and actually went back to collect all the pillows, sheets and quilt covers.
Xie Chen yawned and glanced at the bedroom where the door was still open.
I felt a little flustered.
The thing was so fast that I could only catch a glimpse of the black shadow. I would rather believe that the thing was really the other people hiding in this wooden house than believe that it was just my own eyesight.
In this situation, there is this kind of fluke mentality, and then comfort yourself not to think too much, I don't have this habit.
Xie Chen took a fancy to the door of his bedroom that was still open, and had the urge to repair the door quickly and put it back as soon as possible.
But he didn't have a lock or key, so even if he repaired the door, he could only close it.
If he goes downstairs during this period and there is someone upstairs, he can go in as he pleases and will not be affected.
So even if we quickly install the door now, it won't be of much use.
"Forget it, let's talk about it later..."
Xie Chen's head was numb, but he still shook his head, and this time he turned and walked towards the stairs.
This staircase looks relatively narrow, and the undulations at each level are very high, but other places in this wooden house are actually quite spacious.
But these spacious areas are all saved by this staircase. It can be seen from this staircase that it is really uncomfortable.
Moreover, it is inconvenient to walk. If something is really chasing me from behind, if I climb this staircase, I will be caught ten times out of ten.
Moreover, I was thinking from the perspective of an ordinary person. The guy I faced in this dungeon was nothing like an ordinary person.
"It's so troublesome..."
Xie Chen held on to the handrail of the stairs, with his knees half-bent, and walked downstairs little by little.
Because it is too narrow and the undulations are extremely large, every step must be taken carefully.
I reached the turn of the stairs and had already walked for two minutes.
Every time I take a step, I have to stop and lift one foot, my body has to maintain balance, and my other hand has to hold on to the handrail next to me. This is very time-consuming.
"This is?"
After arriving at a corner, Xie Chen was surprised to find that there were scratches on the handrail, as if it had been carved with something.
But if it is a monster or beast, it is possible to make these similar claw marks.
I am not sure whether these things were captured or carved by something else.
Xie Chen gently stroked the bumps on it with his fingers. Being able to exert so much force in such a narrow place would have been particularly terrifying if it were a ferocious beast.
Because not only are people subject to size restrictions on this staircase, but beasts are not much better either.
If it were not a beast, but if it were carved by man, using some kind of iron tool, it would actually be possible to do this. In comparison, this would not be unusual.
Of the two scenarios I guessed, I still prefer the second one.
When it comes to humans and ferocious beasts, the danger level of humans will decrease a lot during a head-on confrontation, and they will not be as dangerous as ferocious beasts.
And in the world of Kaidan, conditions like beasts are blessed by Kaidan, which is definitely more terrifying than ordinary people.
At least the scope of activities here is limited to the wooden house, so don't think about any chance of making a comeback.
Xie Chen felt a little uncomfortable, but he continued to walk to the first floor, but this time he had to reach his waist in advance.
The stairs were very narrow and not enough to pull out the knife and hold it in hand, so this was the last resort.
What Xie Chen is now afraid of is that there might be a wild beast waiting for him downstairs, such as a tiger or a brown bear. It would be easy to shoot him to death.
This is not something that can be solved with a simple shovel. If it really slides over, it may go directly into someone's stomach.
After tossing and turning with difficulty, he finally reached the first floor.
Unlike what I had imagined, the battlefield on the first floor was actually more spacious.
The structure of this wooden house shrinks from bottom to top, forming an inverted trapezoid shape.
So the space on the second floor will actually be much smaller than the first floor.
Even if the design is bolder, it will not be obvious from the appearance that the floor space will be reduced by at least nearly one-third.
I have only seen this architectural style on the Internet, and it seems to be more resistant to natural disasters.
But in reality, most of them are based on the first floor and extending the balcony to the second floor. I have never experienced this construction method.
Xie Chen looked forward. It seemed to be a side hall. Going to the left should be the kitchen, right?
"No wonder the stairs are so stretched. It turns out that's why..."
"The designers and architects are really fucking talented. It's so fucking hard to get up to the upper floor of this shabby house!"
Xie Chen was so tired that he was sweating profusely. He grabbed the clothes on his chest and said hello twice. At least the wind could penetrate into his chest and it would be cooler.
But his words were not forgiving at all, and he did not hesitate to complain and scold her.
Xie Chen held the knife he had just pulled out in his hand and walked forward little by little. This was actually a test.
If there were really people in front, or some ferocious beasts, the smell of sweat coming from him would probably attract their attention.
"It's best not..."
"I don't want to perform a sliding tackle with a tiger. That would be a joke on my life."
Walking forward slowly, there is a door frame on the side. There is no door panel on this door frame, so you can walk in directly.
Xie Chen was not in a hurry, but stood outside, tilted his head inside, and after confirming the situation inside, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It turns out it's really a kitchen..."
When Xie Chen walked into the kitchen, he saw a large series of modern cabinets, followed by a range hood, a vegetable and fruit table, and a stove.
There is even a physical dining table next to it.
Although it is a wooden house, this kitchen has a purely modern style and is not as crude as a wooden house at all.
Moreover, the walls next to it are all made of ceramic tiles. It seems that this part of the kitchen below should be made of bricks.
If it is a ceramic tile, when cleaning the oil fume, it will not condense into a "glue" on it like wood after many years.
That thing will not only weather with the wood, but even the entire kitchen will become sticky.
Over time, a strange smell may even appear.
Xie Chen wandered around the kitchen, and then came to the refrigerator. Everything in it was normal fruits and vegetables, and judging from the freshness, they should have been put in the refrigerator not long ago, definitely no more than two days.
There are no food restrictions in the rules I discovered, so I should be able to use the abundant fresh ingredients in the refrigerator.
The only restriction on eating is related to the size of tableware. As long as you pay attention to this aspect, there shouldn't be any big problems.
Xie Chen closed the refrigerator. He didn't feel hungry yet, and he wouldn't eat again until the time came.
"Um?"
"There's actually a clock in this kitchen?"
An electronic clock is hanging on the kitchen wall, showing the time at 9:37 am.
