"What's wrong?" Wu Lun was startled by Lin Sanjiu's reaction and hurriedly took two steps back. He probably thought that the mental patient was finally about to get sick, so he asked cautiously: "Why did you suddenly...do you know this person?"
place?"
Even though he knew that he was causing passers-by to turn around frequently, it still took Lin Sanjiu a while to finally calm down his emotions - but he still couldn't look away.
It was indeed a [Pygmalion Collar]. No matter the texture, color, or shape, it was exactly the same as the one under the bandage on her neck. If there was any difference, it was that the collar in the photo seemed a bit dim and vague.
It looks shiny, as if the smooth color has been worn away over a long period of time.
She rubbed the center of her brows vigorously a few times, wondering what was going on.
The main character in the promotional photo only has one [Pygmalion collar]. In addition, there is only a line of small words in the lower right corner that reads "International Touring Exhibition Area, Collection of Mrs. Kathleen Kennedy".
"I'm fine... What is this?" Lin Sanjiu wiped his face vigorously, feeling that he should have calmed down enough, so he pointed at it and asked Wu Lun in a low voice.
"How did I know? It seems to be a piece of jewelry, right?" Wu Lun looked at the photo for a while, "Can't we find out when we go in and take a look? Well, there is a cultural artifacts exhibition these days...it turns out there is jewelry. It's so beautiful.
Yes or no?"
If this can be called beautiful, then Wu Lun should really take a look at [Pygmalion Collar] in its heyday.
…Why did she use the word “heyday”?
Lin Sanjiu followed Wu Lun as he approached the museum gate full of doubts, doubting that he was hallucinating. Is it possible that the [Pygmalion Collar] was originally just a beautiful piece of jewelry in ordinary society, and it only happened after the apocalypse?
A mutation? Just like humans?
After much deliberation, this explanation seems to be the most reliable.
When she came to her senses, she realized that Wu Lun had asked her the same question twice.
"You don't have money?" Ba knew the answer, but still couldn't help but feel lucky, and took out a twenty-yuan note and showed it to her. "Do you have this thing? Even one or two.
OK."
"There's not even half of it. What's wrong?"
"I need to buy tickets." Wu Lun's face fell, and he hesitated for a while, as if he really didn't want to take out his wallet. Perhaps with the spirit of "I'm here now", she sighed, turned to the ticket window and said: "Two
Adult ticket, thank you...Um, can't there be a discount for mentally ill patients?"
Under the straight eyes of the conductor, he handed over a few banknotes and collected the tickets. Lin Sanjiu could feel the pain in her body just by looking at her.
"I can give you something else,"
The two of them went up the stairs and came to the main door. The glass door immediately opened automatically. Lin Sanjiu looked at the card library as he walked, and in the spirit of repaying the kindness of a drop of water, he said: "I have some dry food and canned food here."
Food, a few knives, eh, how come I still have one that can shoot small blast waves..."
"I'm begging you to stop talking," Wu Lun quickly pulled her in, "there's a security check ahead. Can you prevent me from being taken away?"
Even though she had lived in modern society for more than 20 years before, this was the first time Lin Sanjiu had seen such a heavily guarded security check outside the airport. People who came to the museum seemed to be used to it, so it was natural.
A queue formed in front of the security check; they put all kinds of bags on the tracks and strolled through the metal detection gate. Wu Lun also put his small bag on it and passed through the detection gate——
Just as Lin Sanjiu was about to follow him, the inspection door beeped.
"Try again," one of the security guards said to her.
The door screamed again, so sharply that one wanted to punch it completely into silence.
A female security guard said: "Is it a belt buckle?"
Lin Sanjiu lifted up the hem of her racer-shaped vest, and there was no belt on her field pants. The clothes she was wearing now were specially made according to the gift package, and they fit better than those made by high-end tailors. There was no need for a belt.
"Watch? Earrings?" The female security guard came over, holding a test stick, and was about to scan her from bottom to top; Lin Sanjiu almost reflexively tried to knock her hand away - it was really
She was literally knocked out - luckily, she managed to endure it in time. A stranger, holding an unknown thing, swept it over her body, and she could only endure it for a few seconds at most...
With a thought in her mind, Lin Sanjiu suddenly dodged back and avoided the test stick that was about to hit her chest. The female security guard was stunned by her speed. Before she could speak, she
Then he took a few steps back and said, "No need to check me."
She knew what was wrong.
The thing detected by this door is the [Pygmalion collar] on her neck. No one has asked her to take off the bandage and take a look, but if the detection stick on her neck signals a warning, she will
She immediately became more suspicious: If you don't have any other thoughts, why are you hiding something under the bandage? She can't take off the bandage then, and she has to take it off - someone will probably be unlucky here.
"What's the matter with you?" the female security guard asked suspiciously.
Wu Lungang took the bag and saw that something was going wrong here. He hurriedly ran out again and explained: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my friend is impatient..."
As she spoke, she grabbed Lin Sanjiu, led the latter aside, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you? What on earth are you carrying?"
"You go in first, I will go in to find you later." Lin Sanjiu raised his eyes and looked at the entrance hall of the museum.
Except for the security checkpoint, the other two-thirds of the space were blocked by a non-deterrent belt. Those sheep-like urbanites were led to the security checkpoint. One after another they bent down, straightened up, and walked away.
Go over and bend down again... Behind the security checkpoint, there is an exhibition hall with marble floors. On one side of the hall is a glass wall, which reflects the bright sunlight. People are divided in groups in the sunlight, diluting it.
. She looked up and found two cameras hanging from the ceiling, pointing darkly at the gate.
After Wu Lun went in alone uncomfortably, Lin Sanjiu turned around and walked back to the gate under the watchful eyes of several security guards - after taking a few steps, he could still vaguely hear the voice of the female security guard instructing her colleagues: "
Just keep an eye on her and see if she comes back soon."
Of course she will come back.
The moment Lin Sanjiu stepped out of the door, she raised her right hand slightly, as if to push her short hair behind her ear, and swiped her fingers into the air behind her. The two consciousnesses were pinched together by her fingers.
The force immediately shot out like bullets, hitting the two cameras separately; the loud cracking sound immediately shook the hall, and everyone was startled, and involuntarily turned their attention to the direction of the source of the sound.
.
"You just know how to force it." Teacher Yi said weakly - she rested from four o'clock in the morning until she went out, but it still didn't sound like much improvement.
When everyone's eyes jumped to the ceiling, Lin Sanjiu's long-prepared [Power of Description] was also activated. When the camera was shattered into pieces and splashed into the air, from the black hole that the camera originally occupied
Suddenly two streams of flames spewed out; screams rang out one after another, and someone hurriedly shouted: "Put out the fire! There's a fire!"
In the entrance hall, which was in chaos in the blink of an eye, she was probably the calmest one. Lin Sanjiu turned aside and re-entered the door. When no one was paying attention, she bent slightly and pointed in the direction of the security checkpoint.
——The speed at which she suddenly rushed forward was too fast, completely beyond the eyesight and imagination of ordinary people. It was as if she had been in a state of high-speed motion all along, but was restrained just now; once it was removed
After being restrained, all the potential energy she had accumulated burst out immediately, and even the wind seemed to be able to scratch people's skin.
Lin Sanjiu put her feet down, and when she approached the inspection door, her body rose into the air, leaped high over the door frame, and landed on the X-ray machine with her toes. The security checkpoint was posted on the side of the hall. If she rushed through from other places,
Even if a few security guards couldn't see her figure clearly, they would still feel like something had flashed past her - and she stepped on the security machine and rushed over. By the time the female security guard felt something strange and turned around, Lin Sanjiu had already
We have entered the depths of the museum.
Just as they had agreed, Wu Lun was waiting for her at the other end of the entrance hall; as soon as the two of them met, Ba's face turned pale: "Did you do it?"
"What?" Lin Sanjiu pretended to be stupid. Although this girl looked useless, her senses were really sharp.
"That fire...what else is broken..." Wu Lun stammered.
"How can you blame me if the quality of the things is not good?" Lin Sanjiu grabbed her and said, "Come on, let's go see Mrs. Kennedy's collection."
[The power of description] The effect was quickly removed by her, but after seeing the fire just now, it was impossible to return to normal in the entrance hall for an hour or two - one or two hours was enough for her to see another [
Pygmalion collar].
Wu Lun could see anything anyway, and he was very talkative, but every area the two passed through seemed interesting to her; she didn't pay attention to Lin Sanjiu's impatience, walking around and looking around, as long as one
In the blink of an eye, when she turned back, she must have been attracted by a certain exhibit. Lin Sanjiu urged her a few words at first, but then gradually became silent. He followed Wu Lun and looked through the exhibition halls one by one, and finally
Walked to the collection of Pygmalion's collar.
It is the highlight of this jewelry exhibition hall, perhaps because its origin is so unusual. It is said to be priceless. It was the most cherished piece of jewelry of the famous Mrs. Kennedy in the 1930s, and she never took it off in her life.
On the day he fell ill and died, it was finally taken down - together with Mrs. Kennedy's head.
There is still no answer as to who did it.
Next to the closed glass display case, in addition to the text introduction, there are many old photos; Mrs. Kennedy of different ages and on different occasions, all wearing the same collar. Of course, there are no photos of the head after it was beheaded.
.
"We don't know what special significance it has now..." Wu Lun read softly, "It is far from the mainstream aesthetics of the 1930s, and even has a modernist style... Why are you stabbing me?"
She turned around unhappily and just asked Lin Sanjiu, then she was stunned.
Before anyone noticed her, Lin Sanjiu quickly covered the collar with the bandage. Even if it was only for a short moment, it was enough for Wu Lun to recognize the thing on her neck. It was because of recognition that the girl opened her mouth and choked.
I kept talking for a long time, but couldn't say anything except "Huh?"
"I need to take this exhibit away," Lin Sanjiu said calmly, with a tone as if a product manager was describing the needs: "And the four or five things we just saw, I want to take them all away."
