Scott nodded. "Yeah, he said it was his uncle's apartment or something. Looked kind of like an office too, but whatever. I don't think that part's important."
For once, Scott felt like he was onto something. He had actually made a guess and it had turned out to be right. He couldn't help but look a little more positive at that, and he scratched his chin in thought as he considered things further. Okay, so this wasn't just like a random glitch level or something that we got to. Other people went places too. And if it happened to other people too, then... that must mean..........................!
Scott had absolutely no idea.
Some of the air deflated out of him at that. Oh well. He had had his moment, even if it was short and possibly only in his own mind.
Maybe he would have better luck with some of the other details from the night, he thought. That much, at least, would probably still be interesting to mention. "Oh, one of the weirdest parts—" other than seeing a dude shrink down faster than Super Mario touching a Goomba "—was that there was no one else around. Like, in the whole world. No one in the apartment, no one in the building, no one on the streets, static on TV, and no internet. No one was answering phones, either, not even police or emergency lines. The ki— uh, the other guy found his cell and it had full bars and everything, but every number just kept ringing without ever picking up or going to voicemail."
Scott gave Sam a curious look, wondering what the other man might think of that. Something about the guy gave off the impression that he could think through situations like this. It might have been the fact that he was using Stephen King as a travel guide to Landel's, or maybe it was just something in his expression. Either way, he wondered whether Sam would think the same thing that he and Shinichi/Conan had thought - that they had ended up in some kind of empty illusion or parallel dimension made by Landel.
