The warning sound of an elevator error sounded suddenly every once in a while, the sound was so sharp that it almost cut the air. After Lin Sanjiu was startled and almost stuck his finger into the puppet master's eye,
She simply turned around and broke the outer door of the elevator into pieces. The inner door of the elevator car was not badly damaged, but was slightly bent and deformed. Like a blacksmith, she banged it with a metal fist for a while, and finally called out
The elevator door reluctantly closed again.
As soon as the door closed, the elevator began to continue to rise; as the elevator climbed upward, the edge of the elevator below revealed a little bit of the deep and dim elevator shaft above. She took two steps back and turned a little nervously.
Looking at the corpse, she saw that the puppet transformed from the corpse was still holding the thin man tightly. Bohemia also stood beside him and nodded to her, and then breathed out.
"No one... can the elevator go up?" Bohemia looked away from the electronic screen and glanced at the thin man at the puppet master's feet: "No wonder he insisted on sneaking in, it turns out he can really get out.
.”
Thinking about it now, the npc's words were indeed secretly mixed with several extremely important rules, but the things that really should have called people's attention at the time were diluted by his random chatter.
For example, the NPC said, "If there are people who should not be present when the elevator starts running, then you will all be disqualified from being discharged." However, he did not say what will happen to those who are not qualified to be discharged from the hospital in the first place.
It did not say whether in this case, if the discharged patient is not in the elevator, he will be exempted from punishment.
"The elevator is going up by itself now. It won't affect our going out soon, right?" Bohemia pressed the operation button and saw that the up button was on. She was still a little worried.
"Probably not," Lin Sanjiu replied, walking towards the puppet master, "...when you came in just now, did you also wait for a while for the elevator to come down? If the previous wave of people left, then
The elevator should stay at the top floor until the next wave of people comes. I think the current situation is no different."
She was not far from Bohemia, but she had to raise her voice several times before she could finish her words. There was nothing wrong with the thin man's eyes. Of course, he had seen the puppet master clearly early on and felt the latter's influence.
The level of combat power, but he is not afraid at all now. His sanity seems to have been broken long ago. When struggling under the corpse, foam is flying at the corners of the mouth, swearing in his mouth, sometimes laughing, sometimes cursing, sometimes crying, sometimes begging.
, sometimes the sound was so harsh that even Lin Sanjiu’s face jumped a few times.
Even though he was one of the targets of the curse words that rolled out of his mouth, the puppet master just tilted his head slightly in the direction of the thin man, with a peaceful expression and motionless, as if he didn't hear anything.
...Is it because they can’t see it and are unwilling to take action at will?
Thinking of his quiet "hmm" just now, Lin Sanjiu quickly quickened her pace, patted her hands clean, and called out the handkerchief. "I'm going to start," she said, wrapping her fingertips with the handkerchief again.
Said: "Keep your eyes open and don't move."
The puppeteer snorted coldly.
The moment she touched his eyes through the silk, a warm, round, smooth touch flashed through her heart, and he shrank slightly - in fact, the puppet master's body did not
But Lin Sanjiu seemed to be able to vaguely feel that there was something under his skin and in his body that made him shrink back when he was suddenly touched, as if not even the young man hiding inside was there.
I thought that I would be touched suddenly. The lifeless, abyss-like impression that the puppet master had always given people suddenly came alive for a moment, and then fell silent again.
When she took away the "photo" from the second eyeball, the puppeteer showed no such reaction. He was like a stone statue. After the "photos" were removed, he slowly
He blinked and glanced at everyone present.
"Tell me," he looked down at the thin man, but he asked Lin Sanjiu: "...what's going on?"
"Do you still remember when you asked me to follow you closely?" she asked, "At that time, how far away were you from me?"
The puppet master was silent for two seconds and replied: "It's very far away, as if you plan to commit suicide secretly behind."
...There’s no need to express the hope in your heart, right?
"Actually, I was only a few meters away from you at that time. I felt strange when you asked me to follow closer." Lin Sanjiu took a breath, "My guess is that this guy's ability can be like taking photos.
, copy and cut out a part of the real world, and then paste it in the air, so that people can see the image on the photo and think they are seeing the real world.”
Even the thin man's screams gradually stopped at this time.
"He took a picture of me going up the stairs and 'pasted' it far away in the depths of the stairs. He then took a picture of the empty staircase and 'pasted' it behind you, blocking the real me."
Lin Sanjiu thought for a while, then turned to the thin man and asked: "Does your 'photo' have an inside and an outside? From the outside it looks like a photo, but from the inside you can't see anything?"
The man closed his mouth tightly and said nothing, but from his expression, Lin Sanjiu had already figured out the answer.
"I think that's why. When I looked up at you, there was nothing strange. But from your point of view, it seemed that where I was was an empty staircase, and far away, there was Lin Sanjiu."
She looked around at the crowd and said to the other two: "That's why the puppet master asked me to follow closer. This guy seized the opportunity he created and quickly moved the person in the photo in front of me.
I followed him closely...At this time, I heard him shouting to move further back. I should have paid attention at that time, but...anyway, I still moved back further."
Later, she kept a distance of seven or eight meters, which was enough to put several people in the middle. The puppet master was satisfied again, naturally because at that time, "Lin Sanjiu's photo" was not far behind him -
-In fact, the real Lin Sanjiu never knew that there was a photo of the puppet master and others going upstairs pasted in front of her, with the outside facing her; and on the other side of the photo, there was a photo of an empty staircase.
In the photo, the outside is facing the puppeteer.
In this way, when the puppet master looked back, Lin Sanjiu was a few meters behind him, and in the distance was the empty staircase. In Lin Sanjiu's eyes, everyone in front of him kept going up the stairs at the same speed.
The fish were all turning back and forth very regularly - no one knew that under the thin man's several adjustments, Lin Sanjiu had actually become farther and farther away from everyone.
"Were you alone on the stairs...looking for us later?" Bohemia shuddered. For some aspects, she was much more sensitive than others - almost subconsciously the first time.
I could feel Lin Sanjiu's mental state at that time.
Even though it had dissipated, now when she looked back and thought about the fear she felt on the stairs, she still felt as if an ink pen had crossed her heart - the tip of the pen swept over, but the dark ink gradually spread in place. Lin
Sanjiu didn't want to talk more about that feeling. He just nodded and asked the thin man: "But there are still many things I don't understand. Your photo can't block out the sound, but it happens that the stairs can block out all the sounds."
Absorbed, so that you can sneak in and do something; you need someone to pretend to be one of us and let yourself take the opportunity to hide in the corner of the elevator, where there happens to be a corpse... Do you know the situation inside the stairs very well?
?”
The thin man laughed loudly.
"Understood?" His blood-red eyes widened, as if his whole body was about to burst out of his skin. "You asked me, do you understand? I came in four times, during which time I tried to find a way to set up in this corridor.
Countless 'shots', staring at it day and night for eight months... Now you ask me," he raised his voice, his face changing shape as he imitated Lin Sanjiu's tone: "'Do you care about the stairs?
Do you know the internal situation well?'"
Lin Sanjiu crossed her arms and looked at him for a few seconds. "You are lucky enough to be able to get out well four times after you came in."
The thin man shut his mouth suddenly.
"So, when did you sneak in?" She had obviously been using her consciousness to pull the cord to hold the door, but she never felt any vibration from the cord.
The thin man lay on the ground, took two deep breaths, rolled his eyes from bottom to top, and when he smiled at her, a stream of foam flowed out of the corner of his mouth. "Aren't you very smart? You just have the ability to overpower me.
? Since you are so powerful, why don’t you think about it? "
"Ah, the elevator is here." Bohemia suddenly called out.
Lin Sanjiu turned around and saw that the elevator car was slowly falling down the elevator shaft again. When she turned around again, her eyes were blurry - even with her dynamic vision, she couldn't see that clearly.
What happened in that instant? Only when she felt a hot, fishy wind suddenly rush from her face, hair, and shoulders, she regained consciousness and her eyes stopped on the wall opposite the hall.
...She can no longer see the shape of the thin man.
It seems that there is a mentally disturbed abstract painter who crushed flesh and bones to make paint, then spattered a blood-red painting on the wall. Life was minced into unrecognizable pieces, and from the inside out
The color of death appeared in the field. Blood stains slowly flowed down the wall. With a "gudong" sound, half of the forearm fell into the pool of blood, and a few fingers shook and trembled in the air.
Even though Lin Sanjiu had no intention of letting this person go, she was still shocked for a second or two. She had seen puppet masters kill people. She had seen puppet masters kill many people - but rarely so violently.
And when he had no self-control... let alone the fact that he had caused this death scene himself.
The puppeteer lightly swiped the non-existent dust on his fingers, turned around and walked into the elevator.
