Lin Sanjiu lowered her head. The place where her feet used to be was now filled with leaden gray haze, and many small black flakes were still floating, like broken leaves swaying in the waves of the river.
When she stood still, her whole body was immersed in the thick haze. Even if she raised her arms, she could not see her hands, only circles of slightly swaying ripples of gray mist.
She didn't dare to move. It was impossible for anyone to grasp the accurate direction all the time in such an environment that was almost blind. She relied on Teacher Yi's [consciousness scan] from time to time along the way to figure out the correct direction.
path of.
The mind was quiet for a few seconds. Lin Sanjiu didn't say anything, and the humanoid voice on the red brick wall didn't sound either. The earth was pressed under the haze, but it was far from silent: insects were crawling through the plants.
In the bush, something was blown by the wind and made a rustling sound. There was a crackling sound of water droplets falling, and in the distance there was the sound of someone dragging their feet.
The deepest part of the haze, which was supposed to be a place of death, was far from being completely devoid of life.
...Since just now, "Teacher Yi" has been urging her to leave. Now she stood there for several seconds, but "Teacher Yi" didn't say a word, as if she knew that she had accidentally revealed her fault.
, waiting with bated breath to see the next step.
what to do?
What's going on? Why can that thing replace Teacher Yi?
For the first time, Lin Sanjiu felt her arrogance: after only experiencing the apocalypse for more than ten years, she felt that she could classify the crises in the apocalyptic world and deal with them calmly. Now that she has really penetrated into the places where few people have set foot,
Only then did she realize that compared to the endless visions in the doomsday world, the evolvers living on the surface of the world might have only seen one corner.
"Teacher Yi...?" she called.
Before she was sure that there was nothing wrong with the teacher, she did not dare to move forward anyway; she felt that her left foot was still firmly on the ground, with her toes pointing in the right direction, and had never moved - as long as she did not
If she moves, she won't be deviated from the correct direction.
There is still no response in my mind.
Lin Sanjiu suddenly raised his hand, and what was thrown out this time was not the vortex of airflow, but the [Tornado Whip] that he had suppressed just now - the small wind mass roared through the smoke haze, and rolled towards the red bricks.
The wall, but the moment before it was built, the wind suddenly relaxed and dissipated as if it jumped into the sky.
She breathed a sigh of relief; she had been worried that the tornado was too powerful and she would hit something she shouldn't have hit if she didn't have time to let go of the wind mass, which would cause trouble.
Using a small tornado to blow away the smoke and haze is of course more effective than the air vortex. At this moment, the red brick walls, which were more than ten meters in front and back, were all clearly exposed in Lin Sanjiu's field of vision. For several seconds, not even a trace of them could be seen.
There wasn't even a trace of lingering fog.
Why is this red brick wall so long? What was it used for?
Every human figure in the cracks on the wall still looks the same as before, with head raised and waving hands, knees raised, and different postures - only one thing has changed.
Just now, Lin Sanjiu threw an iron rod and cracked the head of the humanoid facing him. Most of the humanoid had a deep and long crack on its body, making it even look less humanoid——
Now, the human figure is three meters away to her right.
...Did the wall move, or did she move?
"Why are you looking at them again?" The thin voice of the red brick wall figure suddenly sounded in my mind again, and he said tentatively: "Didn't I tell you, if you look at the red brick figure too much, I will probably treat you badly.
Have some impact..."
Just like when it recited the conversation of the working group just now, this sentence should be filled with the dignified and worried tone of Teacher Yi, but it sounded slick and smooth, as if he wanted to trick her into believing in him, but he didn't even bother to pretend.
This thing kept asking her not to look at the red brick wall, and kept urging her to leave quickly... Why?
Hot sweat broke out on Lin Sanjiu's forehead. When she turned her eyes, she found that the iron rod she had thrown out just now was still lying at the feet of the cracked humanoid - that is to say, three meters away from her.
She couldn't help but feel a little stupid.
The red brick wall was unbelievable, but the iron rods were collected by herself. There were more than a dozen in a large bundle. They were extremely ordinary. After all, the human form was formed by cracks. How could she walk down from the red bricks and remove the iron rods?
?
In other words, the person who moved her position just now was herself?
"No, I obviously haven't moved..." She muttered to herself, with the heat of anxiety and confusion, dissipating in the haze that gradually gathered again.
She couldn't tell who was Teacher Yi, and she couldn't tell who moved; everything was mixed together chaotically, like smoke entering her brain, and she couldn't figure it out. Lin Sanjiu was at a loss.
She lowered her left foot, wanting to dig into the ground with her left foot, fixing herself in place, and scanned it several times with her eyes - as if she wanted to scrape off that layer of disguise with her eyes and see something really similar.
"Stop looking at the red brick wall and keep walking..." the voice in my head said softly.
"Continue to go?
Lin Sanjiu broke into a cold sweat all over her body; she gritted her teeth and did not respond, forcing herself to find a thread in the tangled thoughts.
She remembered that when she threw the iron rod just now, the mouth of the humanoid she hit was closed; at that time she glanced forward and saw that the mouth of the next humanoid was open.
According to Lin Sanjiu's speculation, when she walked next to the humanoid with an open mouth, she could hear the humanoid's voice. These humanoids had just followed Lin Sanjiu all the way. Lin Sanjiu could hear the humanoid's voice at the open-mouthed humanoid.
It retells the conversation of an Evolutionary working group - if the person who moved was really herself, how could she not hear the humanoid retelling just now?
Not only that, the mouth of the human figure she was facing now was also open, but still no sound came out. Before the haze closed, she glanced at it one last time - the human figure's right hand was raised high in front of her body.
Stand up and swing your left hand high behind you, just like a character in a shadow puppet show.
"I've been wanting to ask you since just now,"
The thin voice in my mind, pretending to be Teacher Yi but not pretending to be anything like it, almost asked in a coy tone: "Have you noticed that your posture when walking has become very strange?"
Lin Sanjiu couldn't hold back the sudden anger and sneered, "Do you think I'll be fooled? I know I didn't move."
The voice paused, as if it was suppressing a laugh - if the smoke and haze were cleared now, would she see the human figure on the red brick wall covering his mouth and nose with his hands to suppress laughter?
It was the thought of "getting through the haze" that made Lin Sanjiu move the fingertips of his right hand, and he realized it.
Her right hand is now raised high in front of her body, and her left hand is swung high behind her, just like a character in a shadow puppet show.
