With the experience last time, Lin Sanjiu did not waste any time this time.
Carrying the plastic model on one shoulder and holding the black tablet in the other, she hurried towards the black city that was melting and shrinking. She didn't even have a chance to look back and see what the replicas were doing; waiting for her to rush back into the city.
When they were on the road and street, Lin Sanjiu fell to the ground as if falling apart and gasped for air for a long time.
After "retracing" the content of two copies of the game, she finally earned herself a few minutes of rest - even though some people were very worried about her.
"Don't rest for too long," the great witch warned from afar, "Even if you stop those two games, as long as the rain curtain touches the ground, the copy will still be completed...it will just be a copy with two corners missing.
In case you fall asleep, neither you, me, nor the puppet master..."
"I know," Lin Sanjiu groaned.
Compared to the last time, the rain curtain climbed higher into the sky. Whenever the wind blew, it seemed like tassels swaying and flickering under the dark sky.
Lin Sanjiu turned over weakly on the ground and pressed her cheek against the black road. The voice of the great witch rang out from her ears and disappeared into the distance.
Beside her, the plastic mannequin stared silently at the sky, with an eternal smile painted on his face.
...No wonder he couldn't eat anything. An almost unrelated thought suddenly came to Lin Sanjiu's mind.
There is no room in his body for food, fresh air, hope, or laughter; there will always be a twisted, dark storm inside his body, pounding and tormenting him. The only outlet may be to plunge his hand deeply into someone else's body.
In the blood - he couldn't control himself, he wanted others to die, and at the same time he was looking for reasons why others should die; only in occasional moments, he could see everything clearly.
She slowly raised her arms and put them on her eyes, her lips trembled for a while, then a breath escaped from her lips, and she felt cold instantly.
The first key item was found on the host of the game, and the second key item turned out to be the host himself... From this point of view, the next key items are easy to find. As long as you keep an eye on the host, there will definitely be something there.
clue.
The reminder from the great witch kept weighing heavily on her heart. Lin Sanjiu didn't lie down for long before she got up again secretly and uneasily. She always wondered if she had rested for too long.
She is not as good at reasoning and thinking as Li Bao, but Lin Sanjiu's persistence, intuition and quick wit can always lead her out of desperate situations time and time again - maybe with a little luck - she has never been like this
It was the same today, so grateful for the hand that was always watching over her.
Facts have proved that Lin Sanjiu’s guess was right.
Every time the "content preview" was blocked and the city copy was backtracked, she would find that the next "content preview" would start from scratch; after gaining experience, the third and fourth "content preview" were almost
There was no danger, and she was stopped one after another smoothly. She learned to be smart the third time. After snatching a heavy-duty motorcycle from the roadside, she didn't get off the car at all, and put plastic mannequins and other things away.
They were all bundled horizontally on the back seat, and even the games were played on the motorcycle - this way, when the city ebbs away from her, she no longer has to rely on two legs to chase it.
After all four corners of the city were cut off neatly, Lin Sanjiu drove the motorcycle to its highest speed and rumbled around the black city several times.
However, she didn't know why, but as the rain curtain continued to sink unyieldingly, she never saw the next "content preview" again.
Did I miss something? Or is there no next game?
The puppet master's dungeon transformation has obviously not been completed yet, nor has it been interrupted... If there is no next game, what should she do next to retrace the process?
"Great Miko!"
The heavy-duty locomotives speeding through the streets shouted out, "Where should I go next?"
Obviously, at this point, the copy formed by the puppet master still refused to admit defeat and still refused to let the great witch speak clearly. It seemed that the copy also realized that the key factor in its own birth and survival lies in whether Lin Sanjiu
Can continue to the next step; so don’t give me any clear instructions. The big witch can’t even make a sound now. Under the gray sky that weighs down the city, only the rumbling sound of Lin Sanjiu’s motorcycle engine is echoing alone.
.
After scolding the puppet master in his mind, Lin Sanjiu finally couldn't stand the time anymore and returned to the area near the highest building. He got out of the car and pushed the motorcycle towards the entrance of the lobby on the first floor.
Even if she gets to the top floor now, it's hard to tell how much of the city is left for her to see; but at the moment, she really can't think of any other way...
Lin Sanjiu suddenly stopped, stretched his neck, and looked into the distance at the intersection of a trail for a few seconds.
The first two times she came, she raced against time and rushed into the building while stepping on the second hand. She never had time to take a second look behind the building. Only now did she realize that there was no more steel and concrete forest deep in the path.
On the contrary, there are faint green shadows and intertwined jungle trees. Under the dark sky that is almost like night, there seems to be a little bit of silver light shining.
She looked at the door of the lobby on the first floor, which was just around the corner, hesitated for a moment, then turned the front of the car and pushed the car step by step into the path.
Lin Sanjiu never thought that she would walk into the lake at night.
For a moment, she thought the storm above her head was getting lower, but when she looked up, she saw a thin line of pale crescent moon hanging between the few stars in the clear night. The lake was calm and dark, and occasionally it seemed to sigh.
, sighing out a halo like a whisper in the intertwining and swaying ripples.
Looking back, there is only a faint background of the black city, standing faintly in the sky. It seems that the wind is moving the thin clouds and mist across the sky, and it seems that she herself is moving lightly across the world.
Lin Sanjiu withdrew her gaze and stood blankly on the grass by the lake, looking at a huge fallen tree trunk in the distance.
Leaning against the tree trunk was a young man whom she had not seen for a long time and thought she would never see again.
The motorcycle lost its support and fell to the grass with a dull sound, startling the young man. He turned his eyes towards her, his eyes dimly filled with moonlight like lake mist.
A few key items and plastic mannequins fell quietly into the grass.
"...Ayun?" Lin Sanjiu took a few steps forward and called out slightly tremblingly.
It is easy to see that nothing has changed yet, and what is about to happen has not happened yet.
Hearing his name, the young man was startled and suddenly bit his lower lip and smiled. For a moment, the puppet master in Lin Sanjiu's memory seemed to have lost its dark weight. In the breath-like smile, he closed his eyes and gently
It blended into the young man in front of me.
All of a sudden, she just wanted to reach out her hand, cover his face and smile for him, protect him from behind, and prevent him from being seen.
"Sister, do you know me?" He raised his head and asked. When he spoke, the small Adam's apple on his neck seemed to be flapping like a white dove, forming a young man's voice: "Well, don't tell others when you go back, okay?"
Only then did Lin Sanjiu realize that his cheeks were slightly red, and he seemed a little drunk. As he spoke, he gently shook the wine bottle in his hand.
"I lied about my age before I bought it." The young man raised his hand and handed the bottle to Lin Sanjiu as a matter of course: "Would you like to take a sip too?"
Lin Sanjiu also wanted to laugh.
why not?
Ayun was leaving soon and would never come back. On this moonlit night by the lake, she couldn't find any reason not to sit with him.
"Why are you here alone?" Lin Sanjiu took a sip of wine, handed the bottle back to him, and asked. The wine was a bit stronger than she thought, and as soon as it hit her stomach, hot heat spread from her throat and chest.
, the brain seems to suddenly become a speaker, ready to buzz with music at any time.
"My friends are out of town," his voice seemed to be floating in the clouds, blown down by the wind, and dispersed gently. If Lin Sanjiu hadn't pricked up his ears and listened carefully, he would have barely heard the imperceptible trace.
Depressed. "I finally got a fake age certificate... I want to try this by myself first, this... what is the wine called?"
He raised the bottle and looked at it carefully for a while under the moonlight.
"...So that's it," Lin Sanjiu hugged her knees and looked at him and said.
She didn't even have a word to say at this moment. She didn't want to ask anything. She just wanted to sit here and let Ayun keep chatting. His clear eyes were burned by the alcohol, just like the moonlight stained the tea leaves.
Exhausted flower mud.
"What about you?" he asked a little unclearly, "You are here...ah!"
Ayun suddenly seemed to have remembered something and jumped up. He still couldn't stand still and almost staggered. Lin Sanjiu quickly held him up. "What's wrong?" she asked a little uneasily.
.
"Lake," the boy pointed to the lake in front of him, as if he was aware of its existence for the first time now. "Let's go swimming!"
Who Lin Sanjiu was and whether Lin Sanjiu agreed or not didn't seem to matter to him; before he finished speaking, he had already put his support on Lin Sanjiu's shoulder and took off one of his shoes.
"But if you drink, if you choke on the water while swimming..."
"I heard that when you drink, you need to drink a lot of water," the boy laughed, "so that you won't have a headache the next day... Such a big lake is enough for me to drink..."
When Lin Sanjiu got up a little at a loss, the boy had already pulled off the jumper in one breath, and walked a few steps towards the lake with his bare upper body, and then he remembered that he still had a shoe on his other foot. He was at the lake.
He stopped and stood in the misty moonlight, turning back and smiling at her.
"Will you come down with me?" Ayun said, stretching out a hand to her.
I always feel that the quality of updates written while away from home is not the best, because I write in a very tired state every day...I can finally go home tomorrow! There is plane food to eat again!
