2065 The price of completing this section of the road
It wasn't until the door lock made a "click" sound from the skinny hand, and a widening skylight gradually opened in the crack of the door, that Lin Sanjiu finally had a sense of reality: This was not a copy.
A blind trick, she was really able to leave the barber shop.
"Let's go," the barber stepped aside, as if he didn't like being exposed to the sunlight at the door. "Come back another day when I get to work."
Who will come again?
Lin Sanjiu didn't even want to nod in response to the story. She stiffly approached the door and suddenly turned around and asked, "What will happen to the hair that has been attached to my head...?"
"It won't stick firmly until the haircut is finished." The barber waved his hand as if he was bored and said, "It will fall off automatically in a few minutes."
Lin Sanjiu finally let out the breath she had been holding in her chest. She didn't want to see the thick black hair on her forehead every time she looked in the mirror for the rest of her life.
She stepped into the bright and warm sunshine outside and couldn't help but squint her eyes; the door of the barber shop behind her slammed shut, once again plunging the shop into darkness.
Compared with more than half an hour ago, nothing in the alley has changed. The sheets and clothes on the clotheslines in the distance are still swaying slightly in the sun. Occasionally, the figure of the mime is revealed, and he is removed again.
Covered - Lin Sanjiu's heart suddenly fell back into her stomach: Great, he didn't disappear or lie down, which probably means that she came out in time.
"It's strange," Teacher Yi whispered, "You have already left the barber shop, but your body movements are still restricted by the mime's fifteen movements...you still can't do other movements."
Maybe we have to wait until this journey is completed before we can return to normal?
Just when Lin Sanjiu was about to walk towards the mime, the wooden door of the grocery store across the alley was suddenly knocked open by someone. She was startled, and when she raised her head, she saw several hanging wooden doors.
In the dimly lit storefront, I saw the back of a familiar head.
Pan Cui was facing the door with her back to the door. She was holding a broom in front of her with both hands. She was sweeping the ground quickly while stepping back. She seemed to be staring at something on the ground deep in the store, even looking back.
There was no time to look at how far away he was from the door.
Even though she couldn't make a sound, just from her back, Lin Sanjiu could tell how nervous Pan Cui was at this moment.
I really don’t know what strange situation she encountered in the grocery store, which made her have to sweep the floor and back out... But since the doors of the grocery store are open, it means that Pan Cui will most likely be able to leave successfully.
Bar?
Lin Sanjiu could feel the warm joy in her heart, and when it appeared on her cheeks, it turned into a ridiculously exaggerated smile like a mime. In order not to scare Pan Cui, she quickly stopped smiling.
, walked a few steps towards the grocery store.
Because of the light and distance, she couldn't see clearly what was in the grocery store, so she focused Pan Cui's attention firmly on the floor deep in the store; but after she took a few steps forward, Lin Sanjiu suddenly realized
Here comes another thing.
The grocery store is different from the barber shop. There is a shelf outside the door. The shelf is full of listless and wilted fruits and vegetables. When Pan Cui walks backwards out of the door, she will definitely pass by the fruit and vegetable shelf. This is not originally
Question - What if the orange with the wrinkled skin didn't suddenly move?
Lin Sanjiu almost suspected that she had seen it wrong and quietly took a step towards the fruit and vegetable shelf.
The orange tilted slightly, as if something had protruded from the bottom, and then fell back to its original position. Before she could take a closer look at what had protruded the orange, there were more oranges, cucumbers, bananas and other fruits nearby.
The vegetables all shook slightly, as if there was a small, silent earthquake that only affected the fruit and vegetable shelves.
"What the hell...?" Teacher Yi couldn't use [Consciousness Scanning] and was at a loss at this time, "On the fruit and vegetable shelf just now——"
When Pan Cui backed out of the door and happened to approach the fruit and vegetable shelf, Lin Sanjiu finally understood what was wrong.
Because Pan Cui kept her head down, as if all her attention was on the ground, she subconsciously lowered her gaze - and then she noticed the "bulges" on the ground that were rolling towards Pan Cui.
They are called "bulges", but they are almost invisible and colorless. When they pass by the fruit and vegetable shelves, it seems as if the wooden boards of the fruit and vegetable shelves have been burned, with surging and raised pits appearing; they are like waves.
The same thing continued to flow down, and when it flowed to the ground, it looked like there was a skin disease on the stone pavement.
No matter what, their target was very clear: it was Pan Cui who had no defense against them.
"The twelfth move," Teacher Yi suddenly shouted in his mind: "You have never used the twelfth move in the barber shop!"
Lin Sanjiu had already torn off her boots. She didn't have time to make a sound, so she grabbed her boots and beat the "skin disease" on the ground desperately.
She didn't know whether hitting the soles of shoes would have any inhibitory effect on such weird things; it's just that those "bulges" seemed to hate being hit by boots. Every time they hit the ground, a small piece of them would be shaken off in the original place.
blank.
When Pan Cui heard the voice, she had already turned her head; she had experienced the grocery store first-hand, and she understood it as soon as she glanced at it. She immediately threw away the broom and turned it in the direction of the mime.
Eyeballs, he jumped up and ran over.
Although both of them could not speak, Lin Sanjiu understood what she meant at this time. He didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he simply followed her with boots and socks, and rushed into the clothesline together——
When the two men rushed in front of him, the mime was slowly putting away a yawn.
He looked at the two of them, raised his hands, and slowly clapped.
Is this... congratulations to them for completing the zero-meter road?
Just as Lin Sanjiu's thoughts came to her mind, she saw the mime pointing to the bottom of the notice board. She almost forgot that she still had chips to get, so she quickly touched the notice board and picked up the ones she had returned and what she deserved from the ground.
of chips.
"Ah, I can talk now." After Pan Cui also took the chips, she seemed a little surprised. She gasped and said, "It was really all thanks to you just now! If it weren't for you, I would have gone to that grocery store."
It’s too late, let alone completing the road.”
Lin Sanjiu waved her hand, replied "No, no" sheepishly, and looked back. They successfully ran in front of the mime, which seemed to mean "termination". The grocery store closed the door again at this time.
Silence also returned to the floor and the fruit and vegetable shelves.
"The things on this road are so disgusting," Pan Cui wiped the sweat from her head, her face still a little pale. "That grocery store... is so disgusting..."
"I came out of the barber shop," Lin Sanjiu shuddered in sympathy, "Really, it's disgusting."
"Hey, don't say that."
When the sound sounded, both of them froze. They blinked at each other twice, and then slowly turned their heads to the direction of the source of the sound.
While massaging his facial muscles, the mime said absently: "These business neighbors are very diligent. Besides, didn't you succeed in the end?"
"You...can you speak?" Lin Sanjiu was still a little in disbelief.
"I can get off work when I feel tired, and I can talk when I get off work. I'm not born mute." The mime said, yawning again. "Since you have completed the road, I will send you to the next section of the road now."
, and then go and rest.”
"Wait a minute," Lin Sanjiu suddenly reacted, "Where's Pina? Is she here?"
The mime shrugged. "She's still at the neighbor's house."
"Where is she?" Lin Sanjiu's heart tightened and she asked urgently: "She came with us, we have to leave together."
"How can this be true?" The mime raised his eyelids, looked at her, turned the signboard, typed the explanation, and reprimanded: "The prompts and conditions are clearly stated, and those who enter this section of the road at the same time
People may not be able to go out at the same time. You can stay if you want. I will take her away while you wait for the girl alone. Make it clear in advance that my next work time will be 24 hours later."
No wonder the evolvers failed as soon as the employees were tired - Lin Sanjiu choked on his words, and Pan Cui quickly tugged on her wrist.
"Don't argue with him, we can't compete with the dungeon NPC." Pan Cui whispered, "As long as Pina doesn't let the dungeon succeed, and as long as she can go back to this road, she should be fine... But,
She will definitely not be able to leave this road within 24 hours, and she will be sent back to the rooftop."
"That's right," the mime said, nodding. "Listen, this is what a reasonable person would say."
Although emotionally, it felt uncomfortable to give up her companions who had not caught up, but rationally, Lin Sanjiu also knew that she had no choice. As if she had suddenly lost a lot of strength, she bent down and put her hands on the
On his knees, he let out a long sigh.
Pan Cui stretched out his arms, gently held her shoulders, and stroked her shoulders comfortingly a few times.
"Pina is very observant and quick to react. She will be fine for sure." She said softly, "We will walk the rest of the way together."
"Yes." Lin Sanjiu was grateful for her kindness. Just as he was about to straighten up, he accidentally hung his hair on Pan Cui's cuffs when he raised his head. As evolutionaries, they were like little girls whose scalp hurt from combing.
Like a child, he was busy and confused and screamed a few times before Lin Sanjiu finally freed his head. After this episode, Lin Sanjiu also regained his composure to a certain extent.
The mime had long been impatient and urged the two of them to follow him, twisting and turning in the alley. When they finally walked out of the alley, they found that the mime had led them to a wide road.
superior.
"Here," the mime pointed to the bus stop on the side of the road, "this is the stop where the next stretch of road begins."
