If he closed his eyes, Lin Sanjiu could still feel: behind them, there was an invisible thing, growing bigger and bigger under the sky, slowly stretching along the texture of the space, like water, soaking through everything it touched.
every inch of the world.
She lowered her head and saw that her arms were clean and the line had disappeared.
Lin Sanjiu knew that soon she would no longer feel the existence of "Meeting an Old Friend in a Foreign Land". At this moment, it was still regarded as a foreign object attached to the world. As the puppet master said, it was the last piece of the world;
Once it is "installed" and becomes a complete part of the Karma Museum, it will be everywhere but nowhere to be found, just like air and gravity.
"This may be my last conversation with humans. After I reach my final form, I will no longer have this self-awareness." Before leaving, an old friend from a foreign land said, "Is there anything else you want to ask me?
?"
Lin Sanjiu opened her mouth, but didn't know what to ask.
It's not that she doesn't have things she wants to ask, but as long as she thinks about those things, she feels that no one can tell her the answer until the moment when her fate is revealed.
"...I don't have any more," Lin Sanjiu looked back at the puppet master and found that he had gone far away. He was now standing about ten meters away, looking at the world in the distance, as if he didn't know anything about Karma or anything like that.
Not interested. Obviously, he had nothing to ask. "I wish you... I wish you good luck."
"Thank you," I replied when meeting an old friend in a foreign land, "and I wish you the kindness of karma and cause and effect."
...she is not worried about herself.
Lin Sanjiu was powerless to prevent it from taking its final form with the Karma Museum, and had no reason to do so.
She still remembers the female evolutionist Dalan she met when she first arrived; she believes that in this world all actions will be recorded and measured, and fate is always weighing her future rewards, so she insists on doing one good deed every day - no matter what
Motive, at least she did make other people's lives a little smoother and easier.
The puppeteer said nothing.
He didn't even seem to have any emotion at all; as if what he just witnessed was not the prelude to a world turning around, but a nonsense, as if someone had repeated it thousands of times in his ears, and even if it became reality, it would not
Surprisingly.
Following the sweater threads that were devoted to their duties, Lin Sanjiu and the puppet master suppressed their speed as they walked out. The palace of confusion has not completely disappeared, and is still gradually being shattered in circles; if they let go of their full strength, several of them will
In the blink of an eye, they would step back into the Grand Palace of Bewilderment - from a distance, it seemed as if the pace of the two of them was destroying the copy.
Indeed, some people have misunderstood this.
"what happened?"
Across the last city wall, Lin Sanjiu heard an unfamiliar male voice. The stone statues and sculptures in the surrounding courtyards had turned into pieces of white, like snowflakes blown up by the wind, gradually melting and giving way to the ground again.
It was given to the desert; the Courtyard of the Colossus, the first instance she participated in after entering, ceased to exist in a moment, leaving only a tall but bare city wall in front of it.
"It seems... it seems like some places are disappearing," another voice sounded from behind the wall, "Look over there..."
Lin Sanjiu remembered that there was a "hesitation zone" behind the city wall, and passing through it was the main entrance to the Confusion Palace. It seemed that these two people were lucky. They had just entered and had not yet made up their mind to walk through the hesitation area. The confusion palace was
No longer exists.
When I thought of this, the last city wall had fallen to the ground in clusters, revealing the large brick floor behind the wall.
The two stepped into the hesitation area and looked around, only to find that the brick floor was empty and there was not a single person.
Ran?
"The two people left?" Lin Sanjiu broke the silence for the first time, "Leaved so fast?"
The puppet master slowly turned his head and looked around.
"They are lucky..." Lin Sanjiu muttered. The replica creatures seemed to be the first to disappear; even though the palace gate was still there, the old man at the door had long since disappeared. It seemed that there were only two of them within a radius of nearly 100 meters.
.
No matter what, at least she had something to talk about.
"No," the puppet master suddenly interrupted her, "they are still here."
Lin Sanjiu was startled and immediately closed her eyes. The method Kurosawa Ji taught her, after being refined and sublimated, could even allow her to detect the curvature of the space occupied by objects; at first glance, she could only feel the world.
Everything in the room was normal. Only after she paid a little more attention, she realized that there seemed to be a special item that disguised the illusion of a layer of space.
"It's a special item!" She said in a low voice and immediately opened her eyes.
Almost at the same time, she felt a gust of wind blowing from her ears, but her eyes were empty.
The puppet master's back was like a black blade cutting off the space, sliding out along the crack, and rushed towards the door in the blink of an eye. Lin Sanjiu didn't even see what he did, she just felt that he
He gently poked his hand into the air, but the space could no longer support it and suddenly shattered. The two people looked like prey that had been spat out of the throat by a giant beast, rolling and crawling and falling to the ground.
"What -" A man raised his head and drank half a sentence, and then his voice suddenly broke in his chest.
The other woman was smarter than him. Even though her face was as pale as a death, she still stammered: "Who are you? We don't offend each other. I, we don't mean any harm..."
Lin Sanjiu vaguely remembered that she didn't know where she had heard it before, that those who didn't know the puppet master and walked past him openly had no life-threatening danger; the rest, whether they were working hard to please or crying,
Whether it is called running away or fighting in anger, it is difficult to guarantee that you will survive.
But the man's fear was so obvious that anyone who saw it would know that he recognized the puppet master.
The puppet master didn't speak, his eyes fell on the two of them. Their hands were tightly clasped together, as if they were supporting each other.
"We saw the Grand Palace of Confusion disappearing..." the woman said in a panic, "We were going in, but we didn't know what happened, and we saw someone coming out... We are not very capable, and we are afraid of causing trouble, so we just
I’m thinking of hiding first. Sorry, let’s leave now, okay?”
Lin Sanjiu walked up. She only glanced at the man and woman who looked like a couple, and then her eyes returned to the puppet master. The half of the face facing her could not show any expression; but Lin Sanjiu
Somehow, I noticed a trace of confusion in him - as if he didn't know what to do.
She really wanted to say don't be afraid, don't worry, everything will be fine in the future. But she also knew that those were just empty words to comfort people.
"I'll handle it." Lin Sanjiu said softly.
The puppet master glanced at her, paused, and then nodded slowly.
"You know who he is, right?" Lin Sanjiu turned her head and said to the couple matter-of-factly.
Their faces were very pale, and they seemed not to know how to answer.
"More than just knowing him..." Lin Sanjiu thought for a moment and continued: "You say your abilities are not high, but hidden items are very precious. Even I was almost fooled by the effects of your items."
"Yes, we had good luck once..." the wife whispered, "if you want..."
"No, I'm not here to take your things." Lin Sanjiu looked at them and felt that the images in his mind were gradually becoming clearer. "I just suddenly remembered something, which is quite interesting."
When the two of them looked at her, their eyes flickered with fear and suspicion.
"During my visit to the Grand Palace, someone gave me two paper cranes."
When she was in the dungeon space, the "Lucky Wanderer Lottery Point" told her that the paper crane that was really supposed to be given to her, as well as another paper crane that explained the reason, were both sent to her by Kangs who participated in the dungeon together.
, but she never received it.
"I remember that I happened to turn my head once when I walked into the gate... By coincidence, I happened to see two paper cranes flying into the Grand Palace of Bewilderment and landing in the hesitation area."
Lin Sanjiu looked at their expressions and said, "Now that I think about it, the paper crane I gave to my friend before I came in also flew into the gate of the Grand Palace of Confusion... Isn't there a hesitation area behind the gate?"
Both of them involuntarily tightened their lips.
"If I ask you to stay motionless now, and then give the puppeteer a paper crane..." Lin Sanjiu said slowly, "If I am not wrong, it will fly towards you two, right?"
I haven't exhausted the outline, but I finally squeezed out a little more with the transitional plot... I have been studying e-books every day these days, and I found that if I buy kobo, I don't need mooink, and kobo can also buy traditional Chinese books. Good news.
, saved a lot of money. I don’t know if anyone has been planted by me...?
