She had been tricked by the mime - who knew better than anyone else that as long as she was invited to sit down, she would find it difficult to stand up again after the timer started!
Even though these urgent and angry thoughts were clashing back and forth in Lin Sanjiu's mind, making her ears buzz; the barber shop was still immersed in a quiet darkness, and the only voice in the shop was that of the barber.
The low humming sound became softer and softer as he walked farther and farther away.
The dust was stirred up and slowly fell to the ground one by one.
"Quick," Lin Sanjiu shouted angrily in her mind, "hurry up and tell me what the fifth and sixth moves are?"
"It's 'rolling on the ground like a newspaper roll'," Teacher Yi said, and Lin Sanjiu also "saw" the scene of the mime actor at that time - the mime actor who was originally standing suddenly fell to the ground with a thud.
His hands and feet were like the tentacles under the body of a long insect, supporting him to roll quickly and skeletally to the other end of the stone road, and then quickly got up again.
"Where's the sixth one? I'm trapped in a chair and can't roll out," Lin Sanjiu urged.
She didn't know where the barber creature had gone, what he was doing, or when he would come back. She could only look around desperately, trying to find a way to escape - one meter away on the left and right sides, there was a black chair on each side.
Half a meter away in front of you is a long mirror; to the right of the mirror is a small cabinet, where bottles, cans, scissors and other sundries are placed, but they don't look like they are useful.
"'Pull something open,'" Teacher Yi said. "He stood on the ground and made a gesture of reaching out and pulling it open, just like opening an invisible cabinet door."
At this moment, Lin Sanjiu caught a subtle sound from behind the curtain deep inside the store. She turned her head and found that the barber creature emerged from the darkness again. The sound came from the person being treated.
The curtain opened by his huge head.
On his arm hung a large piece of heavy, dirty cloth soaked in dark brown stains. It took a little imagination to see that it was originally white.
Lin Sanjiu took one look at it and suddenly understood what it was used for: Before getting a haircut, wouldn't the barber tie a piece of cloth around the client's body?
"The seventh one," Teacher Yi didn't dare to delay, said quickly: "It's 'crawling on all fours'——"
The scene of the mime kneeling on the ground, then putting his hands on the ground like a dog, repeatedly turning in circles, pausing, and crawling in different directions for a long time, emerged from Lin Sanjiu's mind.
"This," Lin Sanjiu's eyes lit up, "maybe this will allow me to climb down?"
When the barber creature walked towards her, she made a quick decision and smoothly lowered her upper body down, pressing her hands on the ground - but her buttocks and legs seemed to belong to another person, lifeless and unable to make a sound.
The force lifted her up from the chair.
As a result, she would never be able to complete the "kneeling down" part no matter what.
"How could this happen?" Teacher Yi was anxious as if he wanted to run around in his head, "Obviously his hands fell on the ground..."
"I understand, the movement of him crawling on all fours involves lowering his upper body, so I can do this part," Lin Sanjiu said, but she tried a few times without giving up, her heart
He jumped loudly, "But the muscles he needs to use when he kneels down and the way he exerts force are completely different from when he leaves the chair... I can't do it."
In other words, as long as it is an action performed by a mime, it is okay even if she does not do it completely, but only takes part of it: for example, if the mime turns her head 90 degrees, then Lin Sanjiu can choose to turn her head 60 degrees; because
In the process of the mime turning his head 90 degrees, there must be a point where he once "turned his head 60 degrees".
"What are you doing?"
When the sweet male voice sounded from behind, Lin Sanjiu straightened up - luckily the last part of "crawling on all fours" included "straight up".
In the mirror, the orange-like eyeballs rolled around a few times.
"Don't move around," the barber laughed. "If you cooperate well, I can finish my haircut earlier."
Early? Could it be that if you have to finish it before the countdown ends, you can leave on your own——
The dirty cloth unfolded with a roar. In an instant, Lin Sanjiu was so choked by the strong and familiar odor that he even threw away his previous thoughts. People who have lived in the apocalyptic world for a long time will sooner or later
Everyone will smell this smell at some point, because sooner or later they will see a rotting corpse.
She looked at the cloth unfolding in front of her, and understood what those dark brown stains were. The desire to vomit was suppressed by invisible force, and she couldn't even tremble;
The barber slowly wrapped the shroud around Lin Sanjiu's neck and said, "Don't be upset. Although it's a little dirty, the customers who come here for haircuts all use this cloth."
He stretched out a cold and thin hand, adjusted the collar of the shroud, and said, "For example, this one."
When Lin Sanjiu raised his eyes, he saw an extra head on his shoulders in the mirror.
It was a man's head, which somehow poked out from the collar of the shroud together with her neck, and fell softly on her right shoulder. The man's face was pale and gray, and half of his face was pale and gray.
The open lips seemed to be covered with large gray-white mold spots, and they had obviously been dead for who knows how long - but somehow, they appeared on her shoulders.
Could it be... that it was wrapped around her body together with the shroud?
"For another example, this one," the barber creature said again, "has the same hair quality as you and is very healthy."
On the left shoulder, there was a crooked woman's head. She seemed to have died shorter than the man's head; her rough tawny hair hung down one of Lin Sanjiu's shoulders.
"Look, your hair is too short." The barber's biological hand passed over Lin Sanjiu's head, causing her to get goosebumps involuntarily. "If you want a haircut like mine, you have to have a haircut like this."
hair……"
Teacher Yi's voice suddenly shrilled. "Hair extensions? He means, hair extensions from dead people's heads?"
"We need to tie the hair of three people together," the barber creature seemed to be very interested. From his face that was so wide that it could not be seen at a glance, a completely out-of-tune humming began to come out, "The pores need to be opened.
, open it, let the three people’s hair go in together, go in, and get out of their foreheads..."
At some point, the scissors he held in his hand opened in the air with a "click" sound.
Lin Sanjiu now literally "sit back and wait for death".
No matter what, you can't let him touch your hair; if you ask Teacher Yi one by one what his movements are, it will definitely be too late. Now you have to buy some time - Lin Sanjiu gritted his teeth and suddenly raised his right hand
, the head of the dead man on his shoulder was tilted by the jolt.
She rushed forward and made a "pull" motion.
But there was no handle in front of her for her to pull, so she stretched out her hand and pulled it back. The only effect it had was to scratch the counter in front of the mirror and sweep away a large amount of debris.
The broad and huge face on the head lowered its face solemnly. "Why aren't you more careful?"
As a barber, he should be able to tidy things up, right?
Lin Sanjiu sat stiffly in her original position, staring closely at the huge head in the mirror that made people feel more and more uncomfortable.
When the barber creature finally reluctantly put down the scissors and took a step towards the cabinet, Lin Sanjiu hurriedly shouted in her mind: "Quick, what's the next move? Tell me!"
The eighth action is to grab something, then round up the arms and throw it out; when the mime performs this action, he also takes a step forward with his feet to use force - but there is no way to know how to get rid of it.
I got out of the chair, but it didn't help.
As if confused, the barber randomly picked up a bottle from the ground and placed it on the counter.
"The ninth one," Teacher Yi said quickly, "he lowered his waist and then did several backflips."
The barber creature lowered its huge head and looked at the ground.
"The tenth one," Teacher Yi didn't dare to delay, "he stood on the ground and kicked high into the air, and then... then as if the kick was very painful, he held his feet and jumped around twice.
.”
What the hell!
While Lin Sanjiu was cursing in his mind, the barber sighed and seemed impatient to pick up one by one. He stretched out one foot and swept everything under the chair next to him.
"Okay, let's continue," the barber creature slowly turned its head toward her. It was so huge that second after second passed, but he was still turning his head and had not finished turning. "
We don’t need these things anyway…”
When his scissors opened on Lin Sanjiu's head in the mirror, she was already so anxious that she was about to jump over the wall - she couldn't figure out how to stand up from the chair with these combinations of movements, because none of them could.
Help her stand up - she just wanted to avoid the pair of scissors on her head; her body reacted very quickly, and with a twist of her upper body, her head, along with the two trembling heads on the left and right,
It slipped under the scissors and twisted to the side.
The next action was almost completely subconscious, as if her body already knew what to do and was just waiting for a chance to make a decision.
Lin Sanjiu's feet, wrapped in field boots, kicked out hard and hit the mirror in front of her. Her legs were long, and the chair was only half a meter away from the mirror. The force of the kick immediately hit her with her body.
The chairs were pushed out together and smashed into the body of the barber creature.
The top-heavy barber creature staggered out and fell to the ground with a "thud"; the chair slipped out from under Lin Sanjiu, and she fell to the ground almost at the same time. The two heads seemed to be rubbing against each other.
, clinging to, hugging her head, she was completely resting on the woman's head, and was pillowed below by the man's head.
"Great," Teacher Yi shouted, "many movements include the 'stand up' part, hurry up!"
In fact, she didn't need to finish her words. Lin Sanjiu quickly sat up, grabbed the shroud's chest, rounded her arms, and threw it far away along with the two heads.
Although her movements were restricted, her physical fitness, speed and strength were still there; when she jumped up and flew to the door of the store, her peripheral vision told her that the barber creature had just finally stood up.
After several "clangs", despite Lin Sanjiu's strength, the door of the barber shop remained motionless, with no intention of being opened by her.
"You have... been assigned to me," behind me, the barber creature said slowly, "How can I let you go until I finish cutting my hair?"
