Chapter 246 - That was the same address as her home in another world (3)
Lu Xingchi examined the surroundings and asked, "Bei Nuan, calm down. Carefully look around. Is this really your home?"
Bei Nuan had cried and was much calmer now. First, she lied to Lu Xingchi, "Yes, this is my home in City S."
"How odd." Du Ruo looked around the apartment. "City S is far from here. How could the same apartment exist here? Are these two spots connected somehow?"
Bei Nuan thought; the truth was even stranger. The other apartment was much farther than City S. Her apartment from another world had been copied over.
"The timing is off too, "Bei Nuan said, "This is how the apartment looked before my dad died. My home doesn't look like this anymore."
"Take another look," Jiang Fei also suggested.
Bei Nuan stood up and confidently walked to the short cabinet.
"There's a bunch of random stuff in this drawer. There's thread and needles, a gold scissor, glue, a big box of pens, binder clips, and paper clips, etc." She pulled out the drawer. And sure enough, it matched what she had said.
"The second drawer is several earphones as well as chargers, cables, and batteries." She pulled out the next drawer. She was right about this one too.
Bei Nuan continued, "The bottom drawer has my graduation-"
Wait, there should be several of her graduation photo albums in the drawer. If she opened the drawer, they would see photos of her. She naturally looked different in those photos.
Bei Nuan's hand was frozen on the drawer handle. Lu Xingchi had already reached over.
"What about your graduation?" Lu Xingchi opened the drawer.
Shockingly, the drawer was empty.
"My graduation certificate," Bei Nuan said, "Where did it go?"
Bei Nuan sighed in relief, closed the drawer, walked around the apartment again, and carefully examined every detail.
Bei Nuan noticed the photo frames were missing. The photo with her dad that was originally on the TV cabinet as well as the photos hanging in her room were gone.
If someone had deliberately replicated this apartment, that person must be very thoughtful. The photos that would reveal her true appearance were removed.
Except for the missing photos, every detail about the apartment was correct. There was an inconspicuous yellow circle on the kitchen counter. It was a burn mark from when Bei Nuan accidentally put a heated pot on the counter. In her room, one side of the curtain was tied with a matching curtain tie, and the other side of the curtain was tied with a kitten hair-tie.
"Could this be made by someone who has a special ability just like how you have a metal ability, Big Brother Lu?" Tang Tang's rich imagination ran wild. "And that person extracted this scene from Big Sister Nuan Nuan's memory and created this illusion to mess with us."
Tang Tang closed his eyes and touched the nearby furniture. "This apartment might be completely different than what we're seeing. It could be a dilapidated, abandoned apartment that has nothing in it."
He made it sound as if something supernatural was behind the apartment. It sounded quite scary.
Bei Nuan silently called Little Three, "Little Three, why does the base have an apartment that looks exactly like my home when my dad was alive?"
Bei Nuan thought he would seriously utter the same words as before - "Refuse to tell any spoilers."
However, Little Three responded, "Huh?"
He didn't know anything.
"Exactly?" Little Three asked in confusion, "Is it a space-time wormhole?"
Little Three's guess was even more ridiculous than Tang Tang's illusion hypothesis.

"Regardless if it's an illusion or not, your home is really comfortable, Bei Nuan," Du Ruo comfortably sprawled out on the big sofa in the living room.
Less than a second later, Lu Xingchi pulled Duo Ruo up and said, "We have to go to the person that assigned the apartment to us and check if he knows how unusual it is. An apartment like this one is out-of-place in an abandoned city."
However, Bei Nuan didn't want to leave. She wasn't afraid. Her intuition and instinct told that this really was her home. She didn't think strange people had conjured this place for nefarious reasons.
Bei Nuan's real worry was that after she opened the door and went out, she wouldn't be able to come back. She hadn't stayed here long enough.
However, Lu Xingchi wasn't at ease. In such a strange place, Lu Xingchi didn't want to leave Bei Nuan alone here.
Jiang Fei helpfully solved the problem by volunteering, "I'll go check it out."
It didn't take him long to return and report back, "The person who allocated the apartment said there were people living in these apartments before the zombie virus outbreak. It's not surprising that some of the apartments have furniture and whatnot in good condition. Their owners might have left the town when the zombie virus outbreak happened."
They thought this was very normal and didn't take it seriously.
Bei Nuan looked at Lu Xingchi with a beseeching gaze. She knew very well that this matter was strange, and that Lu Xingchi had misgivings about it and would suggest moving to another apartment instead of staying here.
Lu Xingchi silently glanced at Bei Nuan and saw her pitiful expression. He turned his head and asked the others, "Do you want to stay here?"
"Yeah, let's stay." Du Ruo was very satisfied with this place.
Jiang Fei smiled. "As long as Bei Nuan likes it, I have no opinion." And then, he teased Lu Xingchi, "Are you scared of this place?"
Lu Xingchi lightly looked at him with askance and expressed his disdain by not answering.
Tang Tang didn't have any objections either. "I'm fine with anything. I'll listen to you guys on where we're staying."
With that, it was settled.
Everyone was thinking that it didn't matter if something odd happened later. Since they were here, they might as well be comfortable.
