Under Lin Sanjiu's anxious strength, the entire spine of the book was torn apart in an instant. The blank half was thrown far away by her, and the printed half was torn apart.
The sound quickly turned into a sky full of white flowers.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell exactly which page she tore up when the cave suddenly shook.
The flat ground under their feet turned into waves swaying from side to side, almost causing several evolvers to stumble down. Amidst the heavy muffled sound coming from the center of the earth, countless dust and gravel fell in clusters from the mountain wall; Lin
Sanjiu hurriedly opened the [Protective Force Field], covering Pan Cui and Pina under their consciousness - around them, the cave was shaken by the sudden earthquake, and they gritted their teeth.
Maintain its original appearance.
"What's going on-" Raven screamed, and before he even had time to finish his words, he suddenly fell down and hit the ground with a "dang", and his voice was no longer heard.
"Is it an earthquake?"
Before Scott's portrait fell, he asked one last question. Then, together with the empty portraits of Minna, Nika and others in the distance, they rushed down and hit the rocky ground. The sound of the impact was clear and clear.
Chu, the word Chu reached Lin Sanjiu's ears as the earth shook and the mountains shook - the canvas seemed to be torn.
Peter's portrait was crumbling and he was roaring: "What's going on? Why did the mine suddenly... No, no, it's not the mine, it's our world. It was given by 'them'..."
His words seemed to announce the end: the portrait with a serious face and angry eyes, after leaning forward for an unknown number of times, finally broke away from the mountain wall together with the portrait of the evolver, and fell down one after another.
Peter's desperate scream just now became the last words of the entire portrait world.
After the earthquake gradually stopped, Lin Sanjiu carefully withdrew his consciousness.
The light on the roof of the cave still illuminates this cave unaffected; but it is probably the only thing that has not changed. Not only have all the portraits fallen to the ground, but the sounds of all the portraits have also disappeared.
Erjing, there is a familiar yellow arrow on the ground in the center of the cave.
The arrow pointed directly at the end of the cave; a gap just exposed by the shaking of the rock was just enough for an adult to fit in.
"I... we succeeded?" Pina couldn't believe it. She glanced down at the shredded paper on the ground and said, "Could this book... be the key to forming a copy? If it is destroyed, the world of oil painting will be gone.
Already?"
"It seems like this," Pan Cuiyun breathed and whispered: "Those portraits...were they self-aware in the dungeon and fought back against the evolvers? Or is that how the dungeon was set up?"
No one knew the answer. Lin Sanjiu knelt down silently and picked up a fragment of the cover. Behind the half-torn title, there was a small word - Vol 12.
What the woman was reading seemed to be the twelfth book in the "Conspiracy Theory Club" series.
It was difficult for Lin Sanjiu to imagine what kind of success and death of evolvers had been written in the previous eleven books.
"The key is not this book," she threw away the fragments, stood up and said, "the key is the woman reading outside. She said she came to work, and probably wanted to take a break during work, so she picked up the book and read it.
… Then we encountered the world in the book. What if she didn’t take a break and was working all the time? No matter what the content of her work was, I’m afraid we would all encounter difficulties similar to her work content, right?”
Pan Cui covered her neck and nodded. Pina raised her head towards the top of the cave with some fear; coincidentally, at this moment, several people heard the faint sound coming down from the mouth of the slide.
A woman's cry.
"Hey..." The voice was vague and faint, and it took Lin Sanjiu a lot of effort to identify the words; it seemed like the woman wearing brown glasses outside was lying outside the slide mouth shouting down: "Where are you going...
The book...return to..."
Several people looked at each other.
Lin Sanjiu smiled bitterly and said, "She is waiting for me to return the book to her."
The book has not yet been read; if they left right now, it would be impossible for the woman, as an ordinary person, to chase them down...right?
Pan Cui pressed her neck and whispered: "According to what you just said...if we leave now and she starts to do other things, then on the way down the road, won't we have to face one after another born from her?"
difficulty?"
"Indeed," Pina nodded, "Then what should we do? We can't go back and tie her up?"
"No, let me go," Lin Sanjiu thought for a while and said, "I have a way to try."
The matter of "reading a book" actually created a death trap, which may be something that an ordinary person would not have thought of; besides, the woman gave Lin Sanjiu and others life-saving medicine at a desperate moment, and it was hard for her to leave.
Of.
When she climbed up the slide out of breath for the second time, what was waiting for her outside was a face that was anxious and angry, with disapproval written all over it.
"Why did you run away so suddenly? I thought you were going to steal my book...or maybe you were trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and someone on the other side was responsible for stealing my computer."
The imagination of the brown glasses is quite rich - but because of this, he just happened to avoid the cave earthquake for a short moment.
I don’t know whether it’s the deliberate design of the copy or a coincidence. This ordinary woman always seems to be one step away from what is really happening on this road; she is also never aware of what kind of role she is playing.
Yes, after having close contact with her twice in a row, Lin Sanjiu was convinced that she was an ordinary person.
"Where's my book?" Brown Glasses spread a hand towards her.
After nearly ten minutes of explanations and apologies, Lin Sanjiu took out a number of books in the gift package from the card library for her to choose from; the woman was not polite and wanted all of them.
, and finally took away seven or eight books - Lin Sanjiu simply couldn't bear to think about what kind of difficulties those books would cause for future evolvers.
After all, the difficulty should not exceed 50 points, right?
However, if the future evolver kills the brown glasses as soon as he comes in... has the copy considered this possibility?
Thinking of this, Lin Sanjiu shook her head, laughed at herself in her heart and said "worrying about both ends", and suppressed all kinds of thoughts.
"There are other things," she said with a smile, "I'm embarrassed to only pay you a few books."
As she said that, she took out a pack of snacks and fruits and a bottle of coffee drinks from the card library, and gave them to Brown Glasses as compensation. The latter exchanged a book for so many things, and he soon became happy.
After she disappeared in the corridor, Lin Sanjiu waited for another ten minutes before quietly walking back to the coffee room and peeking inside.
Sure enough, a small cup of [Energetic Bulletproof Coffee] has a very powerful effect for ordinary people.
In a short period of time, Brown Glasses has gone through a stage of high energy, and has experienced the collapse after the effect of coffee is withdrawn. At this time, he is lying on the sofa and sleeping soundly as if he is drunk to death.
Lin Sanjiu smiled slightly and closed the door for her with her backhand.
When she slid down the slide for the third time and landed on the cave floor, Teacher Yi couldn't help but ask: "Are you addicted to pain?"
What she said was that she couldn't just take painkillers and then jump down.
"Is everything okay? Is everything taken care of?"
Pina and Pan Cui heard the voice and turned to ask her. Lin Sanjiu responded with a yes, got up, and then realized that they seemed to be discussing something just now; at their feet was Jia Jiatian's body.
"I'm thinking..." Pan Cui said with some difficulty, "We shouldn't leave him here alone, but if we carry him forward, the burden will be too great. If we encounter any danger..."
Lin Sanjiu looked down, took a deep breath, and put a hand on Jiajiatian's shoulder.
"Let me do it. My ability can turn corpses into cards." She said, "As long as I activate it - huh?"
She looked down at Kajiada's body.
What's going on? Did it fail to activate?
[Flat World] has been activated by her several times, but Jiajiada's body is still lying on the ground. It is obviously no longer a living creature, why can't it be included in the card library?
"What's going on?" Lin Sanjiu raised her hand, unable to digest the shock. "How come he wasn't turned into a card?"
At this moment, Kagada's body, which fell face down on the ground, sighed clearly and unmistakably.
