When Lin Sanjiu's face gradually became clearer in the night, Hu Miaomiao couldn't help but stand up and greeted her with a cat voice. The cat meowing sounded like milk, and Lin Sanjiu was immediately stunned.
After a moment of excitement, he quickened his pace: "Doctor Cat? Is it you? Are you really here?"
He recognized it just by hearing a meow - the kitten became happy, raised its tail, walked around her feet and rubbed her calves, almost tripping her. In the midst of the overflowing reunion
In joy, Bohemia stood aside with her hands tied, her mouth drooped like an old lady.
"There was no trace of you when I needed to use you. You came here after I had solved the problem. You know how to choose the right time." She crumpled the paper crane used to guide the way and threw it back to Lin Sanjiu, "...why is Doctor Cat like this?"
Being close to you? It’s really puzzling.”
"Maybe it's the nestling effect."
Hu Miaomiao finished rubbing Lin Sanjiu's calf and sat on the ground. She analyzed herself very calmly and objectively: "... not long after my mind first evolved, I met her, took adventures together, and survived.
For a long time. We cats always like familiar things, so I feel very safe every time I see Xiaojiu. Not to mention, she usually has a lot of corpses with her."
Lin Sanjiu smiled softly and stroked the top of its head a few times. The two pointed ears were pressed down several times and then popped up again. She asked Bohemia, "Are you okay?", and was about to remove it.
The person he was carrying on his shoulders was lowered to the ground - the person was dressed in black leather clothes, and the skin that was vaguely exposed was pale and bloodless. He was obviously the puppet master who was still unconscious - Bohemia had sharp eyes and shouted hurriedly:
"Don't put it there! Move over a little bit!"
"What's wrong?"
"That white line is Cartesian."
This explanation probably won't let anyone understand what it means. Lin Sanjiu stared blankly at the white line for a while - until the white line couldn't stand the invisible pressure and finally twisted around reluctantly,
He said hello: "...Yes, it's me, the copy."
"Can talk!" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help being startled, and almost threw the puppet master in his hand: "Copy? What - what is it doing here?"
"Originally, it seemed that they wanted to absorb me," Bohemia said about his achievements, and couldn't help but feel proud again, "but in the end, he was imprisoned by me after a few hits, which was not enough for me to fight."
Immediately, she and Hu Miaomiao each recounted what had just happened from beginning to end; while Lin Sanjiu listened, he carefully laid the puppeteer down on the side of the road and sat down next to him.
Come down.
"It's really interesting..." After one person and one cat finished speaking, she sighed softly, "There is actually a copy developed from one sentence? Do you still know Descartes?"
Bohemia, who was despised, turned red in the face: "Who do you look down on?"
"You haven't been to school either..."
"You don't know anything without relying on school? I think you have cognitive dissonance!"
As soon as the two started bickering, even Doctor Cat couldn't speak; only the white line buzzed in everyone's mind: "I respect your differences, but can you let me take the first step..."
"
"You don't want to go anywhere." Bohemia stepped on the white thread that was twisting back and forth with her heel. "When we finish talking, I have something to ask you later. Please be quiet now, otherwise I will sprinkle some salt on you."
You ate it."
The white line immediately lay back on the dark road at night, as if it had fallen dead.
The two people and the cat suddenly reunited, and naturally they had a lot to say; the three mouths chattered in a mess for a while, but no one could hear clearly what was said - in the end, they had to use guessing to decide the order of speaking.
Doctor Cat can basically only punch. Even if he punches a few times, it can be seen from the movement of his front legs. As expected, the first one was eliminated. In the end, Lin Sanjiu was the winner.
"Why are you here? Where are those trucks? What happened to them?"
This question caused Bohemia to have goosebumps. She explained everything about Nutmeg and Lao Da's strange behavior, and then repeated what he said before his death: "I don't know.
What is going on in this ghost world... He told me that the brains of people in this country have been eroded by foreign objects. If left alone, the number of people who are eroded and infected will gradually expand until the entire world will
It's hopeless. Fortunately, people in their country discovered the clues early and promoted structural surgery, so there were no signs of infection... This kind of thing spreads through the air, but except when the nut sprouts are mature or when they are attacked, it does not occur at other times.
It will be ejected, so when encountering this situation, you must not breathe... Yes, you understand correctly, those nutmeg sprouts are one of the sources of invasive substances. Their original mission was to smuggle some back and make
Research and development of targeted weapons resulted in an accident like ours on the way."
She took a breath and continued: "I originally thought what he said sounded quite reasonable... You see, according to our timeline, the world has not yet reached the end of the world; if the nut sprouts are the cause of the end,
, then it is normal for some resistance forces to exist before the world is destroyed. Until I met this guy——"
I don't know what Bohemia did, but the white lines on the ground suddenly tightened, as if being grasped into the bones by an invisible hand.
"I'm really confused now. The end hasn't come yet, so why did the dungeon come first?"
Lin Sanjiu's eyes also turned to the white line on the ground. It swayed and twisted into a wavy line, as if it was in pain.
"Could it be because of the flood?" After hesitating for a few seconds, she asked in a low voice. "Since it can talk, let's just ask where it came from... But we can put this aside first, I still have it.
I haven’t finished asking the questions yet.”
The white line stopped moving.
"What a big flood, I think it's just a stick to stir things up." Bohemia muttered, only to hear Doctor Cat "Uh huh huh" as if she had something to say; she quickly raised her hand and said, "Please tell me."
Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Lin Sanjiu: "It's not your turn yet!"
The kitten seemed to be restless, and had to shut its mouth purely out of good breeding, but it glanced at the puppeteer on the roadside over and over again.
"I'll ask you to treat him right away, don't worry," Lin Sanjiu comforted him, and then asked, "Didn't Lao Da say how to deal with these sprouts and foreign objects?"
"He said just squeeze the brain and squeeze out the foreign matter." When Bohemia talked about this solution that was almost psychotic, her face didn't look good.
"...But when we were in the city, we didn't even see a nut sprout. Is it because people have already been infected, so they don't bother to plant nut sprouts?" Lin Sanjiu said in deep thought, more like
He is talking to himself.
"I don't know. Anyway, I can't believe Lao Da's words. Why don't we just hide in the deep mountains and old forests and rest for a while." Bohemia lost patience, "It's my turn to ask, right? What did you send last time?"
Didn't the paper crane say that you are in danger? What kind of danger? I see that you are not missing a piece of skin."
"The hospital was surrounded,"
Lin Sanjiu seemed to recall some unpleasant memory - he paused, then frowned, and explained simply: "They didn't speak or move, they just surrounded us quietly in the dark. I was
The only thing that could be heard was the breathing of the puppeteer, and I was really panicking... Later I found out that they just wanted to monitor us. In order to avoid causing more trouble, I picked them up and found an opportunity to escape. Now listen to you
In this way, the people who surrounded us at that time were probably infected... But what did they want? Why did they surround us? "
Doctor Cat seemed to be sitting on a pile of hot coals, standing up and sitting down now and again, his eyes never leaving the puppet master. After listening to the two chatting for a while, he finally couldn't help it any longer, and he stepped up and walked towards
Walking on the roadside: "You guys go ahead and I'll go see him!"
"Wait a minute," Lin Sanjiu hurriedly stopped it and ordered: "His most serious old injury is on the abdomen, and the new injuries he suffered after that should not be considered fatal... If you want to treat it, you should first see it
Look at his belly."
Doctor Cat nodded and walked quickly to the roadside; when he lowered his head to check the figures on the roadside, he looked even smaller, as if he was not as big as the puppet master's head.
The two women stared at each other for a few seconds, but Bohemia broke the silence first: "At least you have done what I asked you to do... please return my saliva towel to me."
Lin Sanjiu scratched his face.
"That... seems to have not been fastened tightly and fell off on the road..." She said this, hurriedly waved her hand to the other party, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry! I remember that it should have fallen not far from here.
When the cat doctor is treating her, we can go back and look for her together."
"You really can't do anything. Even though I can't use that thing myself, it would be a lot of money to resell it!" Bohemia had already stood up and stomped her feet in hatred: "You are not leaving yet, wait for my invitation.
You? Don’t look at this copy, it can’t escape.”
This tall, thin woman, who became more and more annoying the more she looked at her, stood up with a cry of "Hey"; however, before the two of them could move, a small black figure rushed over - she lowered her head, but again
I saw Hu Miaomiao: "Doctor Cat? You finished the examination so quickly?"
"No,"
Doctor Cat breathed steadily, as if he had just run over: "I haven't had time to check yet. I suddenly remembered that I have some medical tools with Bohemia, and I have to go to the hotel to get my backpack... You
Come here." The second half of the sentence was naturally addressed to Bohemia.
Bohemia walked over with a confused look on her face and followed Doctor Cat to the white hotel sign not far away.
The silent cat shadow led the way, and walked for several seconds without speaking. Bohemia still asked in a low voice: "...Doctor, where do I have your medical tools on me?"
Hu Miaomiao sighed.
"I know you didn't," it jumped on Bohemia's shoulder and lowered its voice: "...That's not why I called you here."
"What's that for?"
"Lin Sanjiu..." Doctor Cat hesitated, "She... values companions and friends very much. Sometimes I even have a feeling that she may feel that she must maintain ties with others so that she can continue to do her best. The identity of human beings survives... Now it seems that even if the other party is a puppet master, it is no exception."
The kitten seemed very distressed: "What I want to say is...she seems to be mentally stimulated and can't accept the reality."
"what do you mean……?"
"The Puppet Master is dead." Doctor Cat said in a low voice, "I have been doubting this since she sat down... Even though I just took a quick look at it, it was enough to make me sure. He is dead, long ago Just die."
