My Endless Life.

Chapter 351 Repair
The mansion that the white mayor mentioned is located on an open space near the town.

It was a three-story manor villa with a sloping roof, protruding balconies, and green vines climbing all over the outer walls of the villa as embellishments.

When they arrived here, a blonde woman in a blue shirt was sitting on the protruding balcony on the second floor.

The blonde woman seemed to be in her twenties, with healthy tanned skin from the sun and blonde hair tied in a ponytail behind her.

Her appearance is relatively neutral, with both the softness of a woman and the coolness of a man, especially her eyes, which are slightly tilted upwards, giving people a sharp feeling that she is not easy to mess with.

The blonde woman noticed the people below the balcony, but didn't look at them for long. She just glanced at them and then looked away, continuing to watch the sunset in the distance.

The white mayor who was following Sun Xiaoqing explained:
"Her name is Lisa, and she is the manager of this mansion. But don't worry, she usually won't refuse outsiders to stay. You just need to register after you go in."

The white mayor said, and introduced himself:
"My name is Vincent, and I'm currently serving as the temporary manager of this town. This is Lin Hui, my deputy. Their ancestors were also Chinese, so perhaps you two will have something in common."

After hearing what Vincent said, Sun Xiaoqing looked at Lin Hui standing beside her.

Lin Hui gave Sun Xiaoqing a kind smile and said:

“If you want to choose a house later, you can come to me.”

"..."

Sun Xiaoqing didn't answer and followed Vincent into the mansion.

After entering the mansion, the first thing Sun Xiaoqing saw was the sofa on the side of the stairs, as well as the tables, chairs, benches, and some other miscellaneous items that had been moved in.

These things are out of place with the overall atmosphere of the mansion, just like seeing a sweeping robot in a medieval castle. They are obviously things that were moved in later.

At this moment, someone was dozing off on the sofa, and there was no one else around except that person.

Vincent came in, woke the dozing man, and said:

"Jeff, don't sleep anymore, come and register the newcomers."

"Ok?"

The blanket on the man on the sofa fell off, revealing a fat man with a beard.

He muttered as he sat up from the sofa and asked, "Is there another new person?"

"Yes, they just arrived today. It's a lady and... a young gentleman."

As Vincent spoke, he showed a kind smile to Li Qi who was hiding behind Sun Xiaoqing. Seeing this, Li Qi grabbed the corner of Sun Xiaoqing's clothes with both hands and hid behind her.

Pretending to be a child is Li Qi's best skill.

In every life before he recovered his memory, he was a child. He didn't need to pretend at all. He just needed to play his true nature before he recovered his memory.

Sun Xiaoqing protected Li Qi and looked like a mother protecting her child.

Vincent's smile froze when he saw this. He rubbed his nose awkwardly and said to Jeff:

"They don't know the situation here yet. If possible, you or Lisa can explain it to them."

"Vincent, you know, no one would believe us unless they experienced it themselves."

Jeff looked helpless.

Vincent said: "I will believe it slowly, just like you."

After he finished speaking, he nodded to Sun Xiaoqing, and then left with his deputy Lin Hui.

After Vincent and Lin Hui left, Jeff stood up from the sofa, walked over to close the door, and after confirming that it was locked, he said to the two of them:

"Okay, ma'am, let's register our names and backgrounds first, and then I'll assign you a room.

"Also, let me tell you a few things to note. If you don't want to die here for no reason, you must remember that the first thing is that once the sun goes down, no matter what happens outside, never step out of the door!"

Jeff said seriously.

Sun Xiaoqing frowned and looked at Jeff, without refuting, waiting for him to continue.

But Jeff just stood there for a long time without saying anything.

Seeing this, Sun Xiaoqing couldn't help but ask:

"and then?"

"...Don't you want to ask why?"

Jeff was a little stunned.

During this period, many "newcomers" came, and every time Jeff was responsible for explaining, they would show expressions of doubt and disbelief. Some people even insisted on singing against them, leaving on their own initiative at night, and never came back.

Jeff originally wanted to wait until Sun Xiaoqing raised doubts before explaining, but who knew that Sun Xiaoqing didn't seem to doubt the truth of Jeff's words at all.

Sun Xiaoqing looked back at Li Qi, then asked Jeff, "Then why?"

It was not Jeff who answered Sun Xiaoqing's question, but a cold female voice, which came from the staircase opposite the gate of the mansion:

"Because once you leave the house in the dark, you can never come back."

When Sun Xiaoqing and Li Qi heard this, they immediately looked towards the stairs. They saw the woman in the blue shirt walking down from above, saying to them as she walked:
"You can choose to believe it or not, but if you care about the child next to you, then you'd better listen to us. After the sun sets, you must never leave the house."

The manager of this mansion, the blue-fir woman Lisa, turned her eyes to Li Qi while speaking.

When she saw Li Qi, it was obvious that her expression softened a lot.

Sun Xiaoqing and Li Qi looked at each other. Just as Sun Xiaoqing wanted to continue asking, she heard Lisa say:

"Okay, I'll tell you what happens next, but before that I'll take you to your room. Come with me."

Lisa took over Jeff's job and took Sun Xiaoqing and Li Qi to the room prepared for them.

There are many rooms in the mansion, and almost all of the second floor has been converted into bedrooms. Li Qi can see signs hanging on the doors of several of the rooms, proving that there are people inside.

Lisa led the two of them to walk on the second floor for a while. When they reached the second to last room at the end of the second floor, she stopped, took out the key and opened the door.

The bedroom is very large, with a single bedroom at least 50 square meters. However, although the room is large, the things inside are somewhat shabby.

There was a small double bed that looked makeshift. There wasn't much furniture in the room, not even a carpet.

Fortunately, there are two quilts and pillows, so people are not left without even a pillow. Otherwise, this place would be really uncomfortable to live in.

Lisa brought Sun Xiaoqing and Li Qi here and left the room. Before leaving, she told them that if they wanted to have dinner, they should wait until the bell in the mansion rang at seven o'clock in the evening and go to the kitchen on the first floor.

At that time, all residents in the mansion will go out to eat.

Sun Xiaoqing nodded in agreement and watched Lisa leave. After she left, she immediately closed the door and started talking to Li Qi:
"This place doesn't look polluted, so why are there living people here?"

Sun Xiaoqing didn't understand.

Because as far as she knew, any pollution had a certain degree of lethality, the only difference was the degree of lethality.

But the people she saw now seemed to be living people, and they looked no different from ordinary people, not like they were contaminated.

"Who knows, maybe it's not pollution, but something else."

Li Qi said casually, walked to the window and looked outside.

The windows in the room were locked, and the locks required a special key to open, proving that the owner of the house did not want anyone to open the windows.

Recalling what Lisa said, that one cannot step out of the room after the sun sets, Li Qi guessed that the abnormality here might be related to the darkness.

When darkness falls, neither the doors nor the windows must be opened, and you must not go out at will.

Li Qi looked at the darkness outside for a long time, and finally drew the curtains and said to Sun Xiaoqing:

"When dinner comes, ask more about the situation here. It seems that this place is different from what we thought. Aside from being unable to leave, it doesn't seem to be a place where one will die."

Li Qi originally thought that those who were contaminated would be close to death.

But judging from the current situation, the "pollution" that Sun Xiaoqing was exposed to was nothing more than concentrating a group of people in one place.

It is not even clear whether this is pollution.

It could also be some extraordinary magical object, and everything they have experienced so far is the price they have to pay for using the magical object.

Or it is possible that it is not pollution or a strange thing, but a new phenomenon that occurs after the appearance of the Dark Day.

But no matter how we speculate, without evidence, these are just speculations. If we want to know what it is, Sun Xiaoqing needs to continue to inquire about the news.

Li Qi would not do anything like gathering information. His body was just a puppet, and an electrically powered puppet at that.

Apart from the battery in his body, he only brought out a spare battery.

When there is no combat, Li Qi can use spiritual energy to build a spiritual circuit in the puppet's body to slow down the consumption of the battery. One battery can be used for a month without any problem.

But once a battle occurs, the battery energy will be extremely consumed and can only last for three hours at most.

So just in case, Li Qi decided to stay in the room on standby, and the task of gathering information would naturally be left to Sun Xiaoqing.

During this period, Li Qi would not go out easily, but he would not let his spiritual consciousness dissipate in this puppet's body.

To put it in a more understandable way, the way Li Qi controls the puppet is equivalent to an immersive experience game in which Li Qi is operating the virtual character.

Normally, Li Qi's consciousness is inside the doll. Once Li Qi chooses to "go offline", his consciousness will return to his original body.

As for the original body, it is now practicing and resting according to its instincts. With Liu Cheng's care, no accidents will occur.

Under normal circumstances, faced with such a dangerous situation, Li Qi should return his consciousness to his original body and abandon this puppet body.

But Li Qi had a hunch that once he abandoned this puppet body, it would be difficult to return to it.

From this, it can be inferred that there might be something wrong with this town. It is probably located in a space isolated from the world.

And Li Qi had another question.

If Sun Xiaoqing came to this town by taking the road on the right, then how did the others come to this town?
Li Qi was very curious about this.
