The former guard's back was getting farther and farther on the road around the mountain, and finally Lin Sanjiu couldn't see him anymore. The cool breeze passed by silently under the sky, leaving a mountain of green trees and bushes swaying.
; She shuddered and then came to her senses, as if some kind of spell was suddenly lifted.
During the few minutes she had been staring at the "elevator man" silently, he had also been looking at the pendant in his hand with fascination.
In fact, there was nothing good to watch - it was reality after all, not a TV series, and no one would cut out dull and unnecessary scenes. For several minutes, the haggard-looking woman just leaned against the elevator door motionless, and the only thing on the elevator screen was
The numbers are still rising: 24690, 24691... But the former guard watched with great interest, and couldn't help but introduce a few rules of the elevator copy, just like a game commentator introducing the history of the players.
When the two were about to separate, Lin Sanjiu looked at that face and seriously considered whether to kill him for a few seconds.
At that moment, the former guard looked at her and suddenly said, "Although it's not as scary as that copy, we were in danger in the hospital elevator just now, right?" and then threw the pendant back on his collar.
Li——His expression was neither relaxed nor solemn, as if he was just chatting about the weather in a normal way.
"Okay, it's time for me to leave. Thank you for sending me all the way." He added again.
His thoughts were interrupted. Lin Sanjiu could not say a word in response at this time, nor could he nod his head. He could only stay where he was, watching helplessly as he waved and bent down to say goodbye, then turned and walked towards the distance of the road. Soon
The shadow disappeared from the end of his sight.
...Even if he didn't look at what happened in that copy, they were still happening. Those who died in the elevator had nothing to do with the former guard, who had average combat power; not only did he not harm anyone, he even killed someone in the hospital elevator.
He even saved them once.
But this was the first time that Lin Sanjiu had murderous intentions towards someone who was harmless but kind to him.
There is also this advantage in the apocalyptic world: in a place where restraint, empathy and humanity are gradually disappearing, the crudest and simplest way to solve potential problems is to kill the person who caused the problem - power allows for the greatest degree of arrogance.
The only thing holding her back was the tiny voice in her mind trying to reason: Did this person really do something damnable? That was a human life... Who did she have to decide whether to take it or not?
Take a human life?
When she turned around and walked back, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
No matter who it is, after hearing what I just said, I'm afraid they will take action immediately, even Kurosawa Ji is no exception; Miya Michichi probably has no interest in people who have been "broken", and the gift package has been from the beginning
Won't let him live.
Only she...and only in front of her did the former guard finally show some of his true colors, tell a few truths, and leave confidently and boldly.
"Why are you making such a face?"
Bohemia ran up to her, and as soon as she stopped, she noticed something was wrong. Her senses may not be as good as those of the previous guard, but they were sensitive enough. She turned her head and looked at the empty road in the distance, and said coldly.
: "If you don't like that kind of person, just kill him. What's there to be upset about?"
"It's nothing...just keep it like this, don't change."
Lin Sanjiu shook her hand, and while Bohemia muttered "Are you mocking me?", she walked towards the black shadow standing in front of her.
This highway plunges into the mountains more than ten miles west of Big Bear City. Walking on the quiet and uninhabited road, no matter where you look, you will see endless rolling hills and lush green mountains under the light gray sky.
Strangely enough, a place with fewer traces of human beings makes people feel more at ease at the moment. After choosing a good seat on the side of the road overlooking the deep green valley, Lin Sanjiu took out his tent.
"Why do you have so many things?" Bohemia got down on all fours, got into an orange tent and came out again, "I want this! Ah, of course, if you have no objection..."
Of course the puppet master had no objection - he waited for the two of them to set up the tent and build the fire, then slowly took out his camping props. Countless boards, brackets, ropes and fabrics were piled on the ground, and it suddenly looked like
Like giant spiders on the ground, they all came to life, and a "second floor" was quickly built not far away. Looking through the dark black curtains that were not closed, one could vaguely see a large and soft bed.
"You...do you have more?"
When Lin Sanjiu poked her head out of the tent fabric, she could feel the ground under her buttocks being so hard that it was scary.
In response to this delusion, the puppet master only sneered and disappeared behind the curtain.
After everything was settled and the location of the camp was noted, Lin Sanjiu had to start again and prepare to return to Big Bear City. She originally expected Bohemia to accompany her, but she didn't expect that the latter was in Lava
After weighing it up with the puppet master, the balance actually tipped in favor of the puppet master, and she only gave her the word "no".
It felt very uncomfortable to be on the road alone again - Lin Sanjiu looked back several times, until the shadow of the camp became smaller and smaller, and finally stopped looking back.
It took two full days to get there. She drove around on the road outside Big Bear City several times, trying to send out a lot of signals. She also shouted to some lava players from afar, but it seemed that no one had seen her.
There is a cat here.
The rules that apply to humans should not apply to animals, right? Lin Sanjiu thought a little anxiously. Otherwise, the hospital would have been filled with sparrows, crickets, and stray dogs injured by lava... Yes
There is a high probability that Doctor Cat has already left this place safely.
If you think about it carefully, the chance of meeting Hu Maomiao again is actually much greater than the chance of meeting someone again. No normal person can refuse its request; which means that most of the resources in the doomsday world are
What was open to Hu Miaomiao - as long as it wanted to, it could stay in the Twelve Realms all its life, waiting for Lin Sanjiu to come to her door.
Thinking of this, she breathed out softly.
Doctor Cat must be living in a certain corner of this world... When Lin Sanjiu thought of this possibility, she felt that "she" seemed to have settled down a little bit. Just like many human societies, she had long since
When the end comes, it falls apart into countless fragments; with more contact with people, one fragment is reluctantly stuck in place and continues to form her shape.
Standing on the hillside where the abandoned building was located, she looked into the distance and looked at the Big Bear City at her feet. She was stunned in her thoughts for a while. Until she saw a figure rushing over from a distance and rushing up the hillside.
She was excited and took two steps back to the road - Lava players could not leave the range of Lava before completing the task, and even if the other party had bad intentions, they would not be able to catch up to the road.
"Help, help!"
A man's voice sounded in the distance, and when it was blown by the wind, it dispersed into the lingering sound of the wind. Lin Sanjiu leaned over and looked in the direction of the man, and saw that the small figure was getting bigger and bigger.
It became clearer and clearer, and he ran towards her, waving his hand: "Please, someone is chasing me!"
She straightened up and watched without moving as the man stopped next to the abandoned building. He obviously didn't know that the exit of this game was next to him - of course, there was no point in knowing - he was just about to rush in.
When he reached the roadside, his face suddenly turned pale.
"Here...is this the limit?" He rubbed his face vigorously and looked around as if he couldn't believe it. "I have no place to go?"
The long hair falling down from his cheek reminded Lin Sanjiu of the gift bag. Few men have such long hair, and few men have facial features as clean and delicate as those of girls - but she looks like Ji Shanqing.
For example, his appearance was always a bit too pale and blurry, which made people wonder why the gust of wind just now didn't blow him away.
"Aren't you from Lava anymore?" He was clearly being hunted, but he was suddenly distracted by Lin Sanjiu, and his expression turned blank. "Ah, or do you even know that this is Lava?"
...In that case, you must not cross the highway," he said to himself, panicking, and hurriedly waved his hand to her: "This is another apocalyptic world, I don't know where Lava is, and there are people everywhere.
Chasing players...ah!"
Only then did he remember.
"No, I can't talk to you anymore," he didn't realize that he was the only one speaking. He looked around, "She will catch up soon..."
"Is the person chasing you Bonnie Rabbit?" Lin Sanjiu asked.
The long-haired man was startled, and raised his hand to tuck a piece of hair that had fallen down behind his ear. His eyes were shining with water, and his expression always reminded people of a small animal that still didn't understand the dangers of human beings.
Bewildered, and somewhat rashly trusting, he immediately responded: "Huh? Why do you know that?"
In Lava, the only one chasing people around and sending them to the hospital is probably Bonnie Rabbit, who is determined to complete his mission.
When Lin Sanjiu raised his eyes and looked into the distance, he saw a shadow rushing towards him like a cannonball. Even though it was so far away, people could feel the frightening feeling brought by the powerful combat power. In the case of Bonnie Rabbit
At such a level, if she was really asked to rush forward, even Lin Sanjiu would not be able to rescue the long-haired man in time - she quickly stretched out a hand and whispered to him: "Grab my hand, I will
You pull me over."
"Ah?" He was startled again, as if he had just been woken up from his sleep. At this juncture, he still planned to explain to Lin Sanjiu in a nice voice: "No, you don't know, as a
Players can’t get out..."
"Catch me." Seeing the Bunny Rabbit getting closer and closer, Lin Sanjiu became impatient and shouted: "Quick!"
The long-haired man stretched out a hand as if he was startled. As soon as the skin touched her, she couldn't help but be shocked. Lin Sanjiu immediately grabbed the cold hand and gently exerted force.
, and dragged him onto the road - on the hillside, Bonnie Rabbit's shadow suddenly stopped, as if he couldn't believe what he had seen.
"What...what's going on?"
The long-haired man looked at his hands, then stuck his head out and looked at the hillside under the road. There was no smell on his body - there was no smell of sweat or body odor from running all the way, and his long hair was so smooth that it didn't stick to him.
Chen Zuo. Lin Sanjiu even felt that if she raised her feet and walked towards him, she might be able to pass directly through his body like a breeze.
"Why did I come out?" He tilted his head and even waved hesitantly towards Bunny Rabbit below: "Is this also lava?"
"Your name is Yuan Xiangxi, right?" Lin Sanjiu looked at him from behind and asked softly.
"How come you know everything?" Yuan Xiangxi turned around and opened his eyes wide.
"Do you know a woman named Wei Xing?"
Yuan Xiangxi was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled, like a white petal exposed after the branches and leaves were suddenly blown away by the wind: "I know you!"
"She has a few words that she wants me to tell you." After Lin Sanjiu said this, he lowered his head and took a breath, then raised his eyes and said: "...You are already dead. You have been dead for a long time."
