The heavy rain covered the sky and the earth in darkness, and the earth carried the sound of endless rain. The eyes were filled with a hazy curtain of rain, which wiped out everything in the world, leaving only rain in the vast world. When everyone ran away
When I turned around and looked back, I saw that the white house not far away was also hazy and blurry, as if it was about to evaporate and disappear from the water curtain.
As soon as they left the shelter of the house, they would be completely soaked within a few seconds. Even when they opened their mouths to speak, they would get a mouthful of rain. Yuan Xiangxi said "bah bah" several times, his eyelashes, the tip of his nose,
The corner of his mouth was full of tears: "I said, where is Xiaojiu? Why don't you bring her out?"
"When you brought her out, you brought out the container as well. Who knows when the container will fall out." Bohemia wiped her face as she spoke, like a car that must turn on the windshield wipers to continue working: "It's okay to put people in it.
Anyway, anything that can’t be held with one hand appears outside her body and cannot weigh her down.”
J7 was held in Yuan Xiangxi's arms, and every time he turned his head, he would throw away a circle of water and stopped talking. The puppet master wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and cursed in a low voice - no one heard clearly, no one could
Didn't dare ask.
Everyone stood in the rain, staring blankly at the white house in the distance. From the window of the living room, they could still vaguely see what was going on inside: from time to time, a new shadow appeared across the air, or suddenly flashed past.
The light, color, and sounds of items falling, hitting, and rolling were all drowned out by the rumbling rain, and were almost inaudible. Only a burst of loud music suddenly came from the living room, making several people look at each other.
Take a look.
"What music festival tickets are you talking about?" Bohemia didn't know whether she was talking to the puppeteer or Yuan Xiangxi. "What song is it...?"
The singing in the rain was melodious and clear, with powerful twists. As soon as people heard the female voice, their hearts were lifted by it. Everyone listened in silence for a few seconds, and finally saw that there was no more people in the living room.
The shadow shook, and Yuan Xiangxi couldn't help but ask: "Maybe they won't all fall out..."
Before he could finish his words, a loud bang suddenly broke through the sound of rain. The wall of the house was penetrated in an instant, and the broken building materials immediately rolled and splashed in the smoke and dust, and even the second floor lost its balance.
, pressed down with a "creak", and looked like it was about to break into pieces; a container broke through the constraints of the surrounding walls, almost smashing half of the house's facade into pieces, and suddenly emerged from the half-destroyed building.
Exploded out of the house.
Everyone was silent. They listened to the rumbling sound gradually dissipating, and listened to the sound of rain and singing rising again; until they felt that there was finally no movement in the house, and Lin Sanjiu seemed to have stopped dropping things outside.
, they began to walk back slowly.
The 40-foot container blocked every gap that they could use to enter the house - no, to be precise, not much of the house was left now, only half the shell of the house and a container were left in place. Everyone was there
After groping and slipping in the pouring rain for a long time but still unable to find Lin Sanjiu, the puppet master finally got impatient.
"It's no use at all," he said in a low voice, not bothering to look at the other two people. He reached out and grabbed the empty space in the air; the container suddenly rose up from the ground as if it was suddenly lifted up by a giant beast.
It rolled and was thrown into the air - when it landed heavily in the farmland in the distance, it shook the ground.
Under the rain and smoke, Lin Sanjiu and her countless supplies were lying on the ground among broken bricks and broken wood. Although her skin was whitened by the rain, she was still intact. The fluctuations in her ability upgrades had stopped.
, but I don’t know if it was completed or if it was interrupted midway again; several people walked over hesitantly, stepping on the open space of the ruins with their toes, and finally touched her side.
"The heartbeat is 40% clearer than before," J7's robotic arm pressed on Lin Sanjiu's chest, like a doctor auscultating. "The breathing is also stable, which is a good thing."
"But all the food was crushed," Bohemia raised one foot, and there was sticky jam and broken biscuits under her feet. She said with a sad face, "It was all soaked by the rain, and you can't eat it even if you pick it up.
Already."
All the changes of clothes, daily necessities, and food reserves... were all completely destroyed in this unthinkable disaster. The two of them cleaned up the ruins a little and made it look like they were still usable and edible.
All the belongings, together with special items, were sorted and gathered into a small pile; after almost everything was sorted, everyone sat in the middle of the ruins like a drowned rat in the endless rain, looking a little sad.
"This house should be able to repair itself," Yuan Xiangxi comforted, "Don't worry, our home is not lost."
The puppeteer and Bohemia looked at him together.
"Why is this happening?" J7 murmured and asked. The light on his head came on and off for a while. It seemed that he couldn't figure out the answer. "Didn't her ability be upgraded? Why did her ability become invalid instead?"
After sitting in the dungeon again, Bohemia gained courage again. She glanced at the puppet master and whispered: "Sir..."
"Don't call me,"
Everyone else could only sit on the ground, and only the puppet master sat in the only chair that was still intact. His wet black hair stuck to his increasingly pale skin, and water droplets slid down the leather.
It seemed that it was also tainted with a hint of blackness. "Ask her."
Bohemia immediately shut her mouth.
"I think we should try electrifying her. I can control the amount of current." J7 still didn't forget the idea and asked everyone for their opinions.
"It's raining," Yuan Xiangxi reminded it, "Anyway, I can't be killed or alive by electricity, but there are still cats at home."
"...What cat?"
"Why are you still asking," Bohemia said impatiently, "I told you that I was playing a cat, it was a cat, but why couldn't you remember - eh?"
Everyone turned their heads together and turned to the source of the sound.
Lin Sanjiu tilted her head half-way, and the rainwater continued to streak down her face, forming a small puddle on the ground. Her eyelashes flashed a few times, shaking off a few water drops. "I...where am I?"
"
"Wake up!" Bohemia jumped up and didn't know what to say, so she could only repeat the nonsense: "She's awake!"
Lin Sanjiu stretched out her hand, dipped her fingers into the muddy puddles, and supported herself to sit up slowly. Yuan Xiangxi was indeed the most suitable person to play the role of a wife among everyone present. He hurriedly came over, helped her sit upright, and whispered softly
Comforting: "It's okay, it's okay... Do you still remember our outing in the mountains and forests together?"
"I stepped on your mother." Bohemia muttered in a low voice.
Lin Sanjiu closed her eyes and said "Hmm" slightly, then as if she suddenly came to her senses, she opened her eyes and glanced around, her gaze stopped on the pile of items. "I...my...
[Flat World] What’s wrong?”
"I don't know, your abilities seem to have been upgraded, but for some reason, everything was thrown out by you. Fortunately, we ran fast." Bohemia reached out and grabbed an ukiyo-e and threw it to her: "You
Try it, can it still work?"
"It works." Lin Sanjiu watched as the Ukiyoe turned into a card in his hand, with only a confused expression on his face: "...the card looks the same as before. I really upgraded.
Already?"
Several people looked at each other, and even the puppet master frowned slightly. No one could watch her upgrade, maybe it was interrupted midway - Bohemia saw that she had lost so many supplies,
How can I be reconciled in my heart, I tried to inspire: "Look carefully, is there really no difference? You have probably upgraded. Don't tell me that you have lost so many things and gained nothing?"
Lin Sanjiu wiped the water from her face, brought the card closer, and read it carefully for half a minute.
"It's exactly the same as before," she said almost blankly. "If I upgrade, I should receive a card prompt... My upper limit of converted materials will increase, and my weight limit will also increase. Last time I could use the item absorption ability effect
At that time, there was a large explanation on the card...but I have nothing now."
Bohemia seemed to have been hit hard, and sat back down with a thud. "Well," she sighed, "without so many living necessities, it will be you who wakes up..."
"Throw that painting out first." The puppet master suddenly said something, which sent a shiver down the spines of several people, "Try again with empty hands."
Perhaps it was because he had never left the dungeon, but what he said was actually plain, without a hint of ridicule or disgust, as if he was really thinking about Little Cube Sugar. Lin Sanjiu found it difficult to adapt, and looked at him several times before slowly getting up.
Said: "Then let me try."
"You should sit down and take a rest," said the toaster.
"J——J7?" Lin Sanjiu then realized who the machine in the corner beside him was and almost jumped up: "Why are you here——How could it be you——"
"Get down to business!" The puppet master spat out a few words coldly.
Lin Sanjiu regained consciousness and finally suppressed all the problems, and explained to J7: "I don't know why, but I feel like I want to rest while standing... Have you added any home functions?
?Okay, okay, I’ll try it now.”
When she closed her eyes, several people around her stared at her without saying a word. After removing the containers, the replica house began to be repaired slowly; when the ceiling of the living room finally grew to a level that could barely shield them from the rain,
Lin Sanjiu finally opened her eyes and spoke.
"I...I found a different place." She couldn't believe it herself. She paused for a while, as if she couldn't find the words to explain. "It seems to be a change brought about by the upgrade...Does any of you have a pen?
"
"There is one in the study," Yuan Xiangxi said, worthy of being the hostess, "What do you want a pen for?"
"My [Flat World]... seems to be the other way around."
