"On the plastic pipe, there are square ring-shaped handles protruding in rows upward."
In the darkness, Lin Sanjiu's ears echoed with her heavy breathing, and the low mantra she repeated over and over again: "On the plastic pipes, there are square ring-shaped handles protruding in rows upwards. ...There are bulges on the plastic pipe..."
The slide is spiraling and steep, and it only takes a blink of an eye to slide down, but when climbing back up, it is extremely difficult and strenuous - even if Lin Sanjiu has the [descriptive power] to form a temporary handle on the slide. She stepped on it with her hands and feet, not daring to catch the air or too slow, and climbed up the slide little by little. When she finally saw a small group of light at the end, she almost died because of a sudden breath of relief. Hold on to the handle.
When Lin Sanjiu finally climbed up from the entrance of the slide, the scene in the corridor was the same as an hour or two ago: there was only half a mark on the right wall, and there were dots of blood on the ground. She explored From where he stood, he could just see the yellow arrow on the ground in front of him, pointing straight at Lin Sanjiu's face.
"Since we are all on the same front, can't we all stay together and listen to the commentary?"
Pan Cui's hoarse and difficult voice came from the communicator that Lin Sanjiu had been keeping on the phone with.
Pina also followed up and said: "Yes, with Kate here, I feel more at ease..."
This was Lin Sanjiu's idea; when she left the cave, both parties turned on their communication devices to keep track of the situation on the other side. Now Pina and Pan Cui are in the cave, repeatedly expressing their unwillingness to be left alone. Lin Sanjiu fought for time to act; and all Lin Sanjiu had to do was cry into the communicator from time to time, making the portrait think that she was so scared that she could only cry and could not speak.
They couldn't see the world of portraits and almost stepped on each other's trap; but on the other hand, the other party couldn't see the world of evolvers and didn't know that they were looking for another way out.
As soon as Lin Sanjiu stepped on the ground, she didn't hesitate for a moment, raised her legs and rushed towards the far side of the corridor - the familiar white corridor, with yellow arrows, kept crossing past her feet alternately and continuously; Half a minute later, she suddenly stopped and took a shaky breath from her chest.
"How come..." Teacher Yi asked doubtfully, "How come it's not here yet?"
At her speed, even if it was a three-thousand-meter road, it would only take a short time to run down it; but in the half-minute of running so fast, Lin Sanjiu never saw the wooden door of the coffee room.
In half a minute, she was able to return to the rooftop, but she still hadn't seen the coffee shop not far from the slide entrance?
Did she wake up too late and the coffee room and the ordinary women in the coffee room have disappeared from this road?
"If you are not characters, what are you afraid of?" Peter's distant voice came from the contact. "You are so unwilling to stay, which makes me a little suspicious. If you want to prove your innocence, ,most……"
"Stop joking!" Pina shouted in a sharp voice, "I - the three of us are women with little ability to protect ourselves. It is normal for us to be worried if we are left alone with you in the mine! "
Peter refused to let go, and the other portraits were temporarily sandwiched between the two parties. Delaying it for a while was not a solution - the other portraits would obey Peter's order sooner or later and get out of the mine.
They didn't have time at all, but Lin Sanjiu tried several times, but couldn't even walk through the broken corridor!
She was anxious, impatient and angry. When she looked around, she seemed to catch something in her peripheral vision. When she looked back hastily, she was stunned.
The half-mark left by Pan Cui on the wall, the tiny blood spots on the ground... were four or five meters behind her. The entrance to the slide that she had just climbed up with great difficulty was sinking darkly at the end of the walkway.
A big mouth went down.
"No, when you were running just now, you could clearly see the yellow arrow under your feet moving back..." Teacher Yi paused before he could finish his words. "Could it be...could it be like that time before?
It’s like you can’t walk under the wall?”
Now it’s become impossible to get out of this section of the corridor no matter how you walk?
Lin Sanjiu wiped his face and felt a layer of hot sweat and a layer of cold sweat all over his body, and his head was buzzing with blood. They were confused before and had no idea what they had done, but suddenly something opened on the ground.
With a small opening, they were able to go down; this time she was trapped in the same situation alone, and naturally she didn't know what to do to get out of the predicament.
What to do? Not to mention that she has no clue, now she has no time at all to try every method one by one.
"Well, it's okay," Kate's voice floated out from the contact, and the volume became smaller and smaller, as if the person was getting further and further away. "You believe me, Pan Cui, Peter is very reliable, we are all partying
Many times...I'll go out first, don't worry, we'll talk about it next time we record the show."
"Kate!" Pan Cui was so anxious that her voice seemed to burst like her skin.
"Nika," Pina said hurriedly, "it's not too much for you to stay and listen to the commentary with us -"
"Nika," Mingna suddenly called out. From the communicator, her voice was almost erratic. "I hope you can cooperate and don't cause trouble..."
Damn it, the other portraits were already leaving - Lin Sanjiu's hand holding the communicator was wet and cold. She really wished she could say something to turn the situation around, but when she opened her mouth, there was nothing in her mouth.
"If you lose your nephew, do you want others to suffer the same misfortune?" Pina was so angry that she even shouted out what was in her heart: "Do you think we are stupid? You have been doubting us and want to attack us!
"
"That's why we chose the mine," Pan Cui whispered hoarsely, "I can't call the police, I can't ask for help..."
"Stop being hysterical." Peter didn't care and said slowly: "Nika, let's go. If your two friends are not characters, they can go home. If they are characters, what's the point of staying?
?”
Pina screamed "Nika" sharply, as if she heard the latter's leaving footsteps.
It's over, the other portraits are gone...
The only ones left behind are those who are ready to attack them.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but raise a hand and touch her cheek.
I don't know when, it is possible at any moment, her face will be torn open without warning; deep in the cave at the foot, her oil painting canvas will be torn, and she will fall to the ground like Kagada...
…
But she could only be trapped in this corridor with no choice.
If they stay on the road for 24 hours and cannot get out, they will be sent back to the rooftop; but once they are killed by the portrait, everything is over. She will never see the puppet master and his team who are also in the dungeon again, etc.
Until Bohemia, even the gift bag will never know what happened to my sister...
Lin Sanjiu cut off the call on the communicator with a snap.
The corridor fell into dead silence.
If she really had no choice, if the fate of the three of them was a foregone conclusion, then Lin Sanjiu would not be willing to accept the fate of being torn into pieces silently. At least, she would use her roar to prove that she was still alive at the last moment.
Tried it.
"The lady reading the book!"
She raised her head, exerted all her strength, and poured all her hope, unwillingness, and will to survive into her roar; her voice shook through the corridor, buzzed against the wall, and rippled out.
"That lady who is reading in the coffee room, please come out! This is a matter of life and death. Please come here quickly and take your book with you!"
To them, this place is part of an unpredictable and dangerous environment; to an ordinary woman, this place seems to be part of her daily life environment.
So, if Lin Sanjiu cannot walk through the road, can the other party walk through it?
She can't walk through, can her voice be conveyed?
Will the other party come? Is the other party an NPC set up in the dungeon?
If you think about it like this, the problems will be endless; Lin Sanjiu has no other choice but to focus on one thing: calling people.
She shouted over and over again, shaking the air in the corridor, pushing wave after wave, filling the entire corridor with her shouts; perhaps it was because she could not hear anything except her own shouts.
So when the woman wearing round brown glasses hurriedly emerged from behind the corner, Lin Sanjiu was startled.
The woman looked a little at a loss, and she was holding the book in her hand.
"Ah? Did you call me?" She looked at Lin Sanjiu who had fallen to the ground at some point, and asked carefully: "Are you okay? Why did you call me over? My computer is still in the room...
…”
Lin Sanjiu didn't know if the faces of the other two people in the cave had been torn apart at this moment.
When she stopped shouting, her voice was hoarse and she said with trembling breath: "You, you are really here... Please, this is a matter of life and death, can you show me that book?"
"This one?" The woman was startled and raised the paperback. On the cover, two oil paintings looked at Lin Sanjiu from a distance; the title "Conspiracy Theory Club" spanned the cover of the book. "
How come its life is at stake?"
"I don't have time to explain!" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help shouting. Seeing her shrinking in fear, she hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, please believe me, I will explain it properly later, but I don't have time now.
There are three lives..."
"I know, I know," the woman walked over in a panic and walked into the corridor where Lin Sanjiu was trapped. "The book is just for you to read, you have to return it-"
Before she even said the word "I", Lin Sanjiu grabbed the book, jumped up, turned around and rushed back to the entrance of the slide.
Sure enough, she couldn't move forward just now, but now there was no force to stop her from retreating; when the ordinary woman shouted, "Why did you steal my book!" Lin Sanjiu had already jumped into the chute and hugged her tightly.
Holding the book, she quickly fell down the steep spiral slide again - until she hit the ground in the cave again with a "thud".
Pina and Pan Cui suddenly turned towards her; although their faces were heavy and pale, they were still alive and well.
"Wait, I have something to say!" Lin Sanjiu didn't have time to explain, so she yelled at the portrait first. When she glanced around, she found that the portraits of Minna, Nika and Kate were all empty.
"What?" The person who answered was Raven.
Lin Sanjiu was hemming and hawing, not knowing what to say at all; her real attention was on the book in her hand - Pan Cui and Pina also gathered around, staring at what she was saying.
As he turned the pages of the book, he obviously didn't understand what was going on.
But soon, they understood.
The second half of the book "Conspiracy Theory Club" was blank, with only pages of white paper; while from the first half of the book, which was full of printed pages, Lin Sanjiu captured many familiar names: Peter, Ming Na
,Nika……
On the last page of text before the blank, there is this paragraph.
"Peter is determined to cut open these three women to find the ability he desires. If he makes a wrong bet, he will just be three mediocre women buried under the mine forever... There are so many people in the world
, the absence of three people is not a fault. Soon, Minna and Nika also left..."
The three women raised their heads and glanced at each other's faces.
Was the content of this book written on paper in real time as the portrait copy progressed?
Lin Sanjiu raised the book while thinking.
Accompanied by several long sounds, as if the canvas was being torn, the printed pages fell slowly from the torn book.
