I'm working as a warehouse manager in SCP

"Okay, I'm kidding you, if we can get out safely this time, I will ask the management for someone."

"Thank you, Zhang Er... so... invincible, Er..."

"Don't call if you don't know how to call."

"Oh."

The two were talking, when suddenly, on the left side of the road under their feet, a "white thatched hut" appeared, and there was a portrait of a dog-headed man at the front door of the yard.

This 'white hut' appeared so abruptly, as if it was thrown beside them in an instant.

The two kept staring ahead. At least 1 minute ago, there was no building next to 'this winding path'.

It can only be said that the space of 'this place' is abnormal and a bit weird.

The sudden appearance of 'this familiar cabin' stunned both of them.

Zhang Jue carefully observed the appearance of 'this building'. If he guessed correctly, this should be the 'house of the kobold who murdered Hongbo'.

The two looked at each other, and there was a flash of excitement in their eyes.

What they have been looking for so hard has appeared in front of them, and it really didn't take much effort to get it.

If they could meet the 'kobold talking to Yu Hongbo' here, they should be able to know the whole truth and find Yu Hongbo himself.

Zhang Jue had even made up his mind that if the 'insider' did not cooperate, he would not hesitate to use force.

[According to Article 4000 of the 1-SEP-1.07 agreement, the buildings encountered on the "road you must walk" must be entered after knocking at the entrance.When leaving, you also need to leave through the entrance.If you enter without permission, you must be careful not to be discovered. 】

Zhang Jue stepped forward and knocked on the wooden door with his hand.

"Dong dong dong."

He knocked loudly on purpose.

1 minute passed and no one inside responded.

Zhang Jue turned his fingers into fists and smashed on the wooden door.

"Dong dong dong! Dong dong dong!"

According to Mr. Guo, in ancient times, this rhythm was only used to knock on the door when reporting funerals.

But it is also suitable for use here.

Because in a sense, Zhang Jue came to report the funeral of the 'people who live here'.

Report its own mourning.

Zhang Jue knocked like this for 2 minutes, but still no one came to answer the door.

Presumably the 'owner here' is not at home.

A little disappointed.

Zhang Jue didn't care about 21, and kicked the wooden door open.

"Pooh!"

He spat, and then swaggered into the yard under Sam's surprised gaze.

After entering the yard, Zhang Jue saw that the door of the house was not locked, but was open to the outside, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Zhang Jue walked into the room quickly.

The house was in a mess.

All the rooms were turned into a mess, and the teapot was knocked over as if it had been burglarized.

Zhang Jue squatted on the ground and checked. The tea in the teapot had completely dried up, leaving only a few fragments of tea foam, probably since Yu Hongbo came, and had never brewed it again.

Judging from the traces at the scene, it has been at least a month since the incident happened in this 'abnormal forest'.

While Zhang Jue was squatting on the ground studying the teapot, Sam was also checking around.

"Zhang—look!"

Zhang Jue looked around and saw a broken photo frame under Sam's feet.

It should have been dragged off the wall and thrown to the ground. In the photo frame is the photo of the 'kobold who lives here'.

In the photo, it sticks out its tongue and hugs another person with a smile.

Unfortunately, the photos inside were torn up.

The other person is half missing, and he doesn't know who the 'owner of the house' is hugging.

Zhang Jue put on white gloves and carefully took the torn photo out of the frame.

The photo is very old and slightly yellowed, I don't know when it was taken.

According to Zhang Jue's interpretation, it would take decades or hundreds of years at least to age like this.

Not only that, but the tear marks on the photo are also very old. I'm afraid this photo was already like this before it was hung here.

Zhang Jue put the photo into a plastic bag, put it in his pocket, and continued to search around.

The 'Original Owner of the House' seems to love playing chess very much. Zhang Jue and Sam found more than one set of chess pieces.

They also found a person's signature on the bottom of a chessboard: happy birthday —

The handwriting is small and smooth, and it seems to be written by a woman. The place where the name should have been written on the back is randomly scratched, and it seems that it was deliberately carved out with some sharp object.

There are various indications that this "kobold who loves to play chess" seems to have indeed lived in human society, and for a long time.

Not only that, they also found an exquisite jewelry box in the corner of the wardrobe.

Zhang Jue was about to open the door when footsteps came from outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, an angry voice sounded: "Who is it? Who's inside?!"

Chapter 326 War

Oops, someone found out!

It's okay if it's just breaking the door, there is still room for explanation.

But now the room is like this, making a mess, and the two of them are sneaking around again. This is really yellow mud and rotten crotch, it's not shit or shit.

The 'people' outside came in.

Looking at the appearance, it should be a crocodile, a crocodile that walks upright.

If you give him a huge scimitar, it will look like a character in a certain game.

Seeing Zhang Jue and Sam in the room, and seeing the chaos in the room, he immediately became alert.

"Who are you two?" asked the 'crocodile man who suddenly appeared'.

Zhang Jue stepped forward and laughed awkwardly: "The two of us got lost and planned to stay overnight, but the 'owner here' is not at home, do you know where it went?"

The 'crocodile man' looked at the two of them suspiciously: "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Zhang Jue lied without blushing, "We and the 'owner of this room' are very good friends."

"So that's the case, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

The "simple and silly crocodile man" patted his chest: "I'm scared to death. No one here dares to do such a thing."

"Is the security here good?" Zhang Jue asked.

"Of course, doing bad things will be punished by the gods."

Zhang Jue really wanted to ask if there was a god here, but he still asked the question he cared about the most: "'Uncle Crocodile', do you know where our friends who live here have gone?'"

"I don't know, I've just grown vegetables with it—the cabbages."

"Then how long has it been since you saw the 'kobold who lives here'?"

"About a few days? Ten days? You know, here, everyone is not sensitive to time."

"Well, if that's the case, let's take our leave."

"It's getting dark, two travelers, if you are not in a hurry, you can visit my house. The biscuits I make are very delicious."

"No, we are not travelers, we still have very important things to do, goodbye!"

The creatures in this 'strange and nameless forest' are simpler than expected, at least some of them are.

Zhang Jue and Sam left the home of the "kobold they were looking for" under the surprised eyes of the "good crocodile man".

It has to be said that this time the two have made great progress.

They found the home of 'the kobold who got rid of Yu Hongbo'.

Judging from the situation in 'this building', since he met Yu Hongbo, the 'Kobold who is good at disguising' seems to have fallen into some kind of abnormality.

Zhang Jue could almost confirm that the 'the latter' should have exchanged bodies with Yu Hongbo by using the power of his name.

According to Zhang Jue's guess, the entities living in this "hyperdimensional forest" have the power of using names, but they cannot use their bodies to leave here, so that "scheming kobold" chose to use Yu Hongbo.

Extrapolating to the extreme, perhaps the 'above kobold' had already started planning this operation since the first time he accidentally saw Yu Hongbo.

The 'opponent' deliberately said something that would interest Yu Hongbo and the administration, and lured Yu Hongbo into taking the bait.

Zhang Jue was still not sure whether the other entities they encountered were as scheming and natural as the "kobold who entrapped Hongbo".

If this is the case, the danger for them traveling in this 'strange place' will be greatly increased.

It's just that he doesn't know where Yu Hongbo, who now has a kobold body, is.

It is near evening, and the twilight is all together.

Zhang Jue and Sam continued to walk on the 'field path'.

They drank some water and ate something respectively, and the sun went down completely.

I don't know if you have any experience of walking through the forest at night, it definitely doesn't feel good.

The surroundings are quiet and silent, and as far as the eye can see, there are only shadows of strangely shaped branches, which is very eerie.

The 'strange jungle' they were in was already full of dangers, but now that they couldn't see anything around them, it looked even more eerie.

Zhang Jue was not born with the emotion of fear, so he walked leisurely with a flashlight, constantly scanning his surroundings, for fear of missing something.

Sam was not so calm, and kept following Zhang Jue.

Zhang Jue could even hear him praying in a low voice.

"Didn't you spend the night here?" Zhang Jue asked.

"No, no." Sam stammered, "The last time I was having dinner at that 'little murloc''s house, I only went back in the evening, but I did hear that some colleagues were in this 'dead wood' spend the night there."

"and then?"

"Then they accidentally said the wrong thing, triggered the punishment, and died."

"That's really unfortunate."

In fact, there is no point in discussing this issue.

Because this 'winding path' can only go forward, and it is not certain when it will exit.

In extreme cases, they may not be able to get out in this lifetime.

But according to the records of the Authority, the longest time record for exploring this 'forest of abnormal dimensions' is 56 hours and 38 minutes, which was created by an agent named Randall Truman.

It is said that he went to three different physical homes to spend the night, and he was very brave.

Another few hours of walking in the dark, still nothing.

Although Zhang Jue was still as full of energy as when he first came in, and occasionally hummed a few ditties that were not suitable for children, Sam looked very tired, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and the clothes on his back were also soaked in sweat.

He was incomparable to Zhang Jue, or in other words, anyone was incomparable to Zhang Jue.

Zhang Jue really came here with the attitude of traveling.

"Let's find a place to rest."

Seeing his embarrassment, Zhang Jue finally slowed down.

"Yes, I'm sorry..." Sam's face was full of guilt.

But Zhang Jue didn't blame him.
