Amid Abi's scream, Uichi Liu jumped over the sofa and reached out to grab Pence, who was squatting on the ground before he could straighten up. Pence's reaction was also very quick, without even raising his head, stretching out
She flung her arms forward and jumped out from under his hands like a hound on all fours.
When the two of them stood up almost at the same time, Pence quickly pressed his back against the wall, clutching the torn plastic bag tightly with one hand, and shouted: "Wait!"
Wu Yiliu straightened up and made no sound.
When he attacked Pence just now, even if he acted quickly, he already knew that he would probably be too late to grab the thing; but now he realized that his attempt was not completely in vain - Pence was dodging and did not grab it.
While holding on to the torn bag, the two hiking boots fell off and rolled to the ground first, followed by the hat that was not easy to hold on to. At this time, the only thing Pence was holding in his hand through the bag was the pullover.
.
The other two female evolvers had already jumped up at this time, and the three of them surrounded Pence, forming a loose semi-circle. Under this situation, no matter what Pence was going to do, it was unlikely that he would be fooled.
In front of them, you burrow your head and upper body into a piece of fabric and then pull it out. This is tantamount to completely letting down your vigilance - no matter how fast the evolver is, wearing a pullover will still have to go through the same troubles as ordinary people.
This means that for the time being, Pence took something for nothing.
"What are you doing?" Abby forgot to control the volume, her voice was high and startled, "Why are you..."
Pence took a breath, waved the pullover wrapped in a plastic bag in his hand, and said: "No, you misunderstood. It's not that I want to take it, it's a certain kind of force... I think I should have experienced what I just experienced in the house."
I don’t know why Ichiliu experienced something, but when I came back to my senses, I found that I had already rushed over to pick it up.”
Abi took a step closer and walked into the moonlight. The look of relief on her face was also illuminated by the faint white light. She was a little naive, but not stupid, and she immediately connected the fragments:
"Ah, is it possible that the power that makes you take action is actually a voice? Maybe something in this copy is looking for an opportunity to speak to us? Because you just said that you heard someone speaking."
"Your reasoning is very possible," Pence seemed to be relieved, his shoulders relaxed, and said, "I did suddenly want to rush over to get something after hearing the voice."
Did he hear voices before he found himself pulling on his hiking boots?
Wu Yiliu tried hard to recall for a few seconds, but could not find such a memory. There was absolutely no problem with his memory. Since there was no problem, it meant that even if he heard the human voice at that time, he did not recognize it - this
That's strange.
Cuining stood farthest from Pence among the three, and the skylight outside the window behind her turned her into a shadow with a bright edge; she listened for a while, and only now spoke in a low voice. "Then you
Put your things down first," she suggested quietly, "You don't want to wear them, do you?"
Pence raised his hand holding the clothes, and seemed to drop it as he swallowed the words, but did not put down the clothes. He thought for a few seconds and said: "...Have you ever thought about it, if we all avoid setting up
If we don’t trigger it, then we won’t be able to know the intention or rules of the copy. In fact, the danger will be even greater, isn’t it?”
"What you said does make sense," Abi said, a little worried, while looking back and forth on several people. "But I always feel too unsafe if people wear it unknowingly.
Already..."
"What do you mean?" Cuining tilted her head and asked Pence.
"What I mean is, I'll try this piece of clothing on first, and we'll see what happens next." Pence tried to keep his tone as calm as possible and said, "This is a very serious and dangerous matter.
You must watch me carefully, if anything happens, I will have to rely on you to intervene in the situation."
"Are you willing to take such a big risk?" Abi couldn't help but exclaimed, "Then don't worry, we will definitely take good care of you..."
Hearing this, Wu Yiliu couldn't help turning his head and glanced at her. The more insecure and chaotic a place that harms each other, the more people will be on guard; only when the concentration of security in a certain human living place reaches a certain standard,
Only then can there be people like Abi who are more inclined to trust others - but even in the twelve worlds that operate in an orderly manner, this kind of person is definitely a rare animal, probably the creation of a series of coincidences and luck.
"Wait a minute," Cuining interjected at this time, "I think it's too unsafe for you to put it on rashly."
Pence paused and before he could answer, Cuining had already walked around the sofa and walked towards the door. She bent down to pick up the hat from the foot of Liu Yiliu, and continued: "Let me see this hat... I have it."
As a skill, I want to try to see if I can analyze the properties of these things."
"What skill?" Abi immediately asked with concern.
"Everyone has different methods of identifying special items. I judge by feeling their 'temperament'." Cuining smoothed her hat and said, "But this is not a special item, it is something in the copy, so
I just said let me try, but I don’t guarantee the results.”
Pence smiled at her and said, "Then I'll give it a try too. It might be okay if we try it at the same time."
Abi was so nervous that he wrung his hands together. He looked at Cuining, then at Pence, and said, "Well, you guys..."
"You'd better not move. I'll attack anyone who puts it on." Wu Yiliu suddenly said quietly.
This sentence was ordinary, but it shocked the three people in the room into silence. After a pause, Abi realized: "What? How did you..."
"Are you driven by power to get your clothes?" Wu Yiliu ignored Abi and turned to Pence and asked: "That power can drive people unconsciously, and when it takes effect on you
, there is no need for you to hear the sound of people talking. You asked if someone was talking, and then rushed to the clothes at the door, because you wanted to divert our attention first, right? "
"You'd better stop talking nonsense," Pence said as a warning.
"If you think I want to be your enemy, you are wrong." Wu Yiliu looked back at Cuining, who was not far away from him. The latter was standing by the armrest at the other end of the sofa, holding the peaked cap in his hand.
.Perhaps sensing the warning in his eyes, Cuining's shadow was now tense and motionless.
"I know what you two are thinking of." Yaichi Liu said slowly, "Four people came in, but only three of the clothes and hats. It seems that they want to compete among us and eliminate one person. If this premise
If it is established, it means that this coat has a positive effect on us - for example, the person who gets it can pass the first level and other settings. After all, only in this way can we have the value of fighting for them."
No one in the hut spoke for a while.
"Pence probably became suspicious because I wanted to put on shoes; and Cuining, you saw that Pence wanted to put on his clothes no matter what, so you asked to see the hat. None of you
I'm telling you this because you don't want the rest of the people to react and fight against you."
As soon as the words "remaining people" came out, Abi suddenly took a breath of cold air.
"I stopped you not because I want to fight for these clothes and shoes with you, but because I believe that it is definitely not a good thing for you to wear these things."
Wu Yiliu calmed his breathing, clenched his hands into fists, and felt the sweat in his palms. He had been forcing himself to maintain the surface calm, and even the glance he cast towards Cuining was usually turned away.
Pretending not to see her face slowly melting away.
It's here again, that hallucination is here again.
He resisted the urge to rush out of the door, and glanced at Cuining again calmly - in just a second or two, her face returned to its original appearance; if there was nothing wrong with him, then
It is almost impossible to explain this phenomenon, nor why the other two people were unaware of it.
"In that case, just don't wear them." Pence said softly, "Abi? Those shoes happen to be women's shoes. Take them over."
