The rolling smoke and dust slowly settled, and it gradually crawled down in front of a tall black figure, as if it knew how to be docile and knew to make a way for him. After the gray mist dispersed, the visitor stepped on step by step.
Passing through broken bricks and gravel, it was leisurely and slow, as if the smoke and dust were being suppressed, and the air and the earth were surrendering little by little.
Lin Sanjiu already knew who he was without seeing the face of the visitor - she raised her hand reflexively and touched her dog collar, finding that it was indeed slightly warm; perhaps she was so angry just now that
Didn't notice when it took effect.
"You...why are you here?" she said in a hoarse voice.
The puppet master who gradually became clear from the smoke and dust was like a dark abyss, rising from the cracks in the world and swallowing up a piece of the human world. He looked at Lin Sanjiu expressionlessly and coldly, without saying a word;
When he stopped, there were several floating shadows behind him, which caught Lin Sanjiu's eyes.
"So you are all here?" When she saw it clearly, she was surprised and wanted to laugh for a moment. She simply didn't know how to react. Kiyokuru patted the ashes on his body and said, "The great miko is not here.
I'm looking after the house."
"But it's really not necessary. I haven't encountered any danger here..."
"If you keep stalling like this, you will be in danger." Qingjiuru said this, pretending to be very secretive, and gestured in the direction of the puppet master, obviously hinting at the source of the danger. "Besides,
Isn’t there still no news about Yu Yuan? So, we are going to finish it off for you...Here, I’ll give this to you.”
As his words fell, there was a heavy muffled sound of "winter", and Pina, who had just approached, threw a strong black shadow on her shoulder on the floor - a fat, pink and white pig-shaped degenerate, soft and soft.
He fell to the ground, not even a scratch on his body, but he was already dead.
"This...you killed it?" Lin Sanjiu was surprised.
"What, you can't bear to part with it?" The puppet master sneered, "Everything is like its own kind, right?"
"No, it's not." Lin Sanjiu was not surprised at all by his reaction and quickly said: "Where did you see this pig? Are there other pigs? I have a lot to ask them about this farm.
I don’t know the truth yet. If there is a living mouth, I can ask questions.”
"We only saw three or four on the way here. I don't know if the others heard the noise and ran away. This one is the one who shouted at you from behind the door just now." Qingjiuru said, glancing sideways at the puppet master.
."...They are all dead now anyway."
As for who killed him, there seems to be no need to ask.
"Let me tell you, no matter what you want to know, a living pig-shaped degenerate species is useless at all." Qingjiuru said, stretched out his foot and lightly kicked the pig's body, and said: "Their mouths are
Is there any truth? Can you tell the truth from what they say? How much do you dare to believe what it says?"
"You're right." Lin Sanjiu finally recovered from the surprise of seeing her friend for the first time, as if her whole body had been soaked in hot water, and her muscles were stretched and loosened. "But, what about the farm?
How should I find out the truth?”
"What they did will always leave traces here. In such a large farm, I don't believe there are enough clues." Qingjiuru paused and said, "We will look for it with you."
Lin Sanjiu nodded, feeling familiar and at ease for a moment; she was used to making a path alone in the dark and cold mountain walls, and she almost forgot what it felt like to have someone holding a lamp next to her.
"We are still looking for someone," she said quickly. "I still don't know where Yu Yuan has gone, so if you see a pig again, you must not kill it, but keep it alive."
Naturally, these words were directed at the puppet master. Obviously the puppet master also knew this. Hearing this, he sneered again and said: "Of course you are looking for someone. When are you not looking for someone? Where can human tapeworms leave people?"
Can it be done?"
Qing Jiuliu whispered to Pina at the right time, leaving Lin Sanjiu alone to bathe in the puppet master's care. She said with difficulty: "Besides Yu Yuan, there are two other people.
They are ordinary people..."
This time she provided the puppeteer with enough material - after two or three minutes, she finally found the opportunity to interject, bringing the topic back to the farm and finding someone. There was nothing like it.
Qingjiuru was smart. After the limelight passed, he coughed and came up with an idea: "Isn't there a broadcast system in the farm? We can just broadcast to the three of them. Do you know the names of those two ordinary people?
?”
Seeing Lin Sanjiu nodding, he added: "That's no problem. When the farm people heard the radio calling me, they must have thought it was a pig, so they didn't dare not to come. And when Yu Yuan heard our voices, he would naturally come too."
Convergence. Anyway, it’s worth a try.”
This is indeed a way - Lin Sanjiu breathed out and said with a smile: "Then let's go find the broadcast system next!"
There was a radio that sounded once in the farm, but now the more I think about it, the more weird it becomes. The farm has neither speakers nor wires. As for how it sounded, Lin Sanjiu didn't know anything about it except "special items".
Other explanations.
The few people discussed the action plan for a few more times, and finally remembered that they were still standing in the messy hall that was half collapsed and broken; none of them knew where to start looking, so they simply started looking for it from where Lin Sanjiu met the fake Feng Shanwu.
Starting from the first door, every door was opened - when Pina opened the fourth door, she finally became the first person to discover something strange.
"I think there seems to be a mechanism here," Pina quickly put her head out and shouted, "Come and take a look!"
The puppet master had already put himself in the position of a supervisor and did not check behind the door at all. He was closest to her at the moment and walked over. When Pina shrank and made way for him, Lin
Sanjiu and Qingjiu Liu also hurried over, and several people walked in behind the door one after another.
After the door slammed shut, the hall became empty and quiet again.
On the flat floor tiles that can be seen, there is no shadow of the puppet master and his group; in the distance, outside the floor-to-ceiling glass wall, is an infinite stretch of blue sea. A piece of brown and black sticky material gradually dries up in the soft light.
.
Lin Sanjiu stood alone on the smooth hall floor, motionless.
After maintaining this picture for a few seconds, a pig's hoof was raised, the screen was closed with a "snap", and the picture in the hall immediately switched to darkness.
The swivel chair creaked for a while, as if it was overwhelmed; the fat white pig sitting in the swivel chair stretched out its two short legs and finally turned the chair in a circle.
It had a stern face, its thick and plump lower lip was drooped, its pink gums were opened, and a few crooked teeth could be seen. On both sides of the long table in front of it, there were several pigs sitting on each side.
At this time, he didn't dare to speak, his eyes were rolling around, but his mouth was tightly closed.
"Who came up with the idea?" the white pig at the table said abruptly, "I wonder if this woman is the evolver who almost ruined our plan outside and broke several of our pigs? Send two people to help her out and trick her away.
, it’s a shame you guys figured it out.”
"Fanping said it..." the pig named Carol whispered.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Fan Ping quickly protested, turned to the angry pig, and said: "Fourth uncle, we don't know much about the outside world, but we usually deal with it this way. If an evolver accidentally discovers
, just try to get them out..."
"If I hadn't arrived in time," Fourth Uncle said coldly, "she would have destroyed half of the hall."
"Indeed, we still have a lot to learn from you when it comes to handling emergencies," Fanping said sincerely.
"Stop flattering," the fourth uncle waved his hoof and ordered to the other pig: "Immediately send a request to the headquarters, saying that there are people coming to cause sabotage. They are very powerful and are currently under control.
, but we need someone from the headquarters to finish it off."
Carol paused and saw the pig hurriedly followed the order and walked out the door, and then asked in a low voice: "Uncle Fourth, why do you want the headquarters to finish the job? She just stood there stupidly, we can't do it ourselves...
"
The fourth uncle raised his little eyes and stared at it. "Think about it again," the fourth uncle said in a tone that was almost as if he hated steel. "Think about the surveillance equipment in the refrigerator and what it captured!"
Carol blinked blankly.
"Fourth Uncle Gao Jian, that woman has accomplices outside," said a pig sitting at the end of the table. "From the conversation between her and her accomplices, it sounds like they can sense her status remotely and rush over in a short time.
Once something goes wrong with her and they come over, how can we resist on our own? Of course it would be safer to call the headquarters."
Fourth Uncle nodded and glanced at it. "You are a new person who just transformed last month, right?"
"Yes," the pig quickly stood up, as if he was very honored, "my name is Wang Gen."
"I didn't expect that you were born not long ago, but you can see quite comprehensively." Fourth uncle said, "What report did you originally plan to give today?"
"Ah, it's not a report," Wangen said, "I have an improvement plan for the farm's birth rate, and I want to show it to you."
"oh?"
"I have always been concerned about the issue of matching men and women on the farm," Wangen said hurriedly. "Ever since I was a human aid worker, I have always been thinking about how we can make people have more children and increase the number of newborns. You also
You know, ordinary people’s bodies can’t withstand such pain, and the mortality rate is too high, so we can only let the new population replenish it..."
"Let's get to the point," Fourth Uncle interrupted.
"They are living a very good life now." Wang Gen said with a serious tone: "After thinking about it, I think this is the root of the problem. Women, especially, are living a very good life. They have three full meals a day. Where can they go?"
Still have the motivation to accept the pursuit of men and have children? I think this problem can be solved from two aspects. One is to take some compulsory measures, such as halving food rations for women who have not been matched within three months; second, is
We can promote more, such as the significance of newborns to the future of the farm, the importance of motherhood, and give some honors to women who have given birth... If we provide the same meal every day, they will feel that they deserve it
Yes, if you give me less, you might be unhappy. But if you give it to them only after you give birth to a child, they will burst into tears with gratitude."
The fourth uncle raised his head towards Wanggen and looked at it carefully.
"You're not bad," the fourth uncle was obviously happy. "You're very good at using your brain! Why do we choose pigs from Renzhu? It's just to find talents like you! Let's go back and wait for the headquarters to finish the work, and we can discuss it in detail. one time……"
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door.
"Come in," the fourth uncle turned towards the door. "Why is the headquarters——"
He was only halfway through his words when he froze. When the other pigs turned their heads, the conference room finally fell into silence, and no one dared to move for a long time.
Lin Sanjiu put one hand on the door handle and leaned against the door.
There was even a hint of a smile on her face, but no one felt at all reassured by the upward curve of the corners of her mouth.
"Let me ask you something," she said in an almost relaxed tone, "how long do you think that illusion can trap me?"
