The voice of the woman with the red brick wall rang out one sentence after another, as if by repeating the same words a few more times, even if she couldn't even pretend to be the same, she could still get the target to admit that she was the owner through persistence: "It's me,
Teacher Yi, don’t you recognize me?”
Lin Sanjiu could almost hear the sneer she held back in time at the end of her words.
This thing - whatever it was - clearly took pleasure in toying with her.
"Didn't you take several steps just now?" The voice said suggestively, "If you keep following the movements of the figure on the wall, who knows what will happen?"
what happens?
Feeling like he was about to fall from a height, Lin Sanjiu wanted to hold on to something to steady himself. The teacher Yi in the back of his mind disappeared and turned into the voice of the woman with the red brick wall, as if someone had opened the back of his head.
A hole - someone is peering at her through the hole. When the eyeball disappears, it will be replaced by a flesh-colored finger, eager to get in through the hole.
Lin Sanjiu quickly forced herself to retract her hands and pulled out the fabric of her pants until the other side was tight on her thighs. In this way, she was able to control the movement of her limbs at the same time - at least she still had control over her body.
, it seems that only when she is not paying attention, her limbs will smile high and lift her up, carrying her forward quietly.
But...even if I don’t leave anymore, is there any point?
God knows how far she has strayed from the right path?
"...In this environment, there are only two of us left. We must trust each other, otherwise other things will take advantage of the loophole..."
Lin Sanjiu bit her lip, listening to the heavy breathing under her respirator, trying to ignore the woman with the red brick wall who was still chattering in her mind - she had to find a way to find the right direction again.
If the person who moved is indeed herself, then it means that the red brick wall has not moved. From this perspective, maybe the red brick wall itself can be used as a reference. Even if she cannot trust the wall, she can still walk back to the iron rod.
The falling point - the iron rod is equivalent to a mark, which can tell her the starting point when she first met the red brick wall humanoid.
There is hope when she finds her starting point: on this land that has been shrouded in doomsday haze for nearly a hundred years, there are no bricks or sidewalks anymore. She must have left footprints on the soil along the way. Find her starting point.
If your toes are pointing, you’ve found the right direction, right?
She turned this idea over in her mind several times, and the more she thought about it, the more certain she felt. To find the iron rod, she had to blow away the smoke again; she still held her pants in her left hand, and thought, "Tornado Whip"
The card was immediately placed in the palm of her right hand. The woman with the red brick wall seemed to be alert, and immediately asked smoothly: "What are you going to do?"
Lin Sanjiu didn't answer, only the whip slipped from her hand silently, breaking a crack in the thick fog.
"Aren't you going to see me again?" When the woman with the red brick wall said this, her voice paused imperceptibly, making it seem as if she almost slipped her tongue and said "Look at me". "Look at that.
Red brick wall, right?”
Lin Sanjiu closed her eyes. In the dim light that came through her eyelids, she seemed to be able to see the funny human figures on the red brick wall, waving their hands and moving their legs.
"Have you been affected by something?" The voice of the woman with the red brick wall suddenly became more serious, sounding a bit like Teacher Yi. "You looked at that just now, and even your walking posture changed. You
Why don’t you have a long memory and want to see it again?”
It seems that this thing really doesn't want her to look at the red brick wall again and again? Why?
Lin Sanjiu thought for a while; the red brick wall was deeply immersed in the haze. Generally speaking, prey could not see the cracked figures on the wall and could only hear its voice. Could it be that those cracked figures were not meant to be seen in the first place?
, what weaknesses might it have?
...This is the first reason she can think of.

"Don't you think it's strange that you actively want to watch it again and again?" the woman advised earnestly. "It's too frequent. Maybe you want to watch it, and you think you have various reasons to watch it, and it's also because you have suffered from it.
The influence of…”
This statement sounded reasonable, but it immediately added: "Your hostility towards me must have been affected by it, you should trust me."
Lin Sanjiu's only response to it was to escape from a small tornado with his hand - everything was just like last time, the tornado broke through the haze, but the roar dissipated a few steps outside the red wall, and together with it
What also dissipated was the thick fog that originally filled the sky and the earth here.
This time, almost without surprise, she discovered that she had indeed moved again.
The iron rod was further away from her, even though it was only a few meters away; the human figure it marked with its head smashed open and its mouth closed was still hanging on the wall by the damaged red brick.
From the farthest point that her eyes could see, all the way to the open-mouthed, almost dancing human figure opposite Lin Sanjiu - she remembered clearly that this was the first time she had come face to face with this human figure - they were like hanging wires.
Like a doll, its hands and feet were pulled up by invisible threads, always following her step by step; if someone played music at this moment, she didn't even doubt that they would dance with smiles on the next red wall.
"Where are you going?"
When the voice in her mind asked, Lin Sanjiu had already rushed towards where the iron rods were; her guess was correct, because there was no grass growing near the red wall, and indeed she saw a row of slightly crooked rows on the black mud.
The footprints - the distance between each step was huge, as if she had lifted her legs into the air when she was walking just now.
As soon as she started running, she immediately realized that the human figure on the red brick wall in the corner of her eye was also retreating at a rapid speed - its feet kicked out, lifted up, and fell behind it; although it did not look back and its limbs were stiff, it moved in the same way.
The speed has been following her.
Lin Sanjiu had just broken out in a cold sweat when he suddenly realized: Just like a comic strip, the human form just "came alive" in rapid changes of continuous movements, and it seemed as if it was retreating around him at the same speed.
...right?
She hurriedly braked opposite the iron rod, carefully avoiding the footprints on the ground.
Yes, those were indeed her own boot prints, and opposite there was still the female figure on the red wall with her head smashed open and her mouth closed - she was able to find the starting point so smoothly, even she herself didn't dare
believe.
……Wait a moment.
Lin Sanjiu frowned and subconsciously glanced in the direction of the red wall. She seemed to have noticed a detail just now.
The haze was about to close again, so she took one last look at her spreading footprints and the long red wall that stretched across the right side.
The second reason why the voice didn't want her to see the red wall came to Lin Sanjiu's mind.
While she was thinking, the voice in her head also stopped talking quietly, as if it also knew that now it could only wait with bated breath for Lin Sanjiu to take the next step.
She aimed her direction before the unyielding leaden fog thickened again.
It didn't take long for the haze to gradually submerge her limbs; when she couldn't see her limbs, she wasn't even sure if she had started walking; maybe she had walked out for a while, but she didn't know it yet.
After taking a few steps deliberately and clearly, she forced herself to stop slowly - still holding her pants with both hands to ensure that she was really not moving.
"Am I going in the right direction?" She added reluctantly: "...Teacher Yi."
There was silence in my mind.
Lin Sanjiu breathed out and slowly took a big step forward again. This time she felt that if she didn't pay attention, her limbs would slide out as if they were greased, and slide into the shape of a human on the wall——
It's like when a person is trying to suppress a smile, the corners of his mouth can't help but rise.
"Am I going in the right direction?" she asked as she walked.
The female figure on the red brick wall immediately replied: "Yes, that's the direction. Let's go quickly."
Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to think about what would happen if she was wrong.
She closed her eyes and rushed out in the direction pointed by the figure.
