During the seemingly extremely long period of time after Feng Huanyan's words fell, Lin Sanjiu knew that he should react and take action, and should not just stand there blankly; however, it seemed that everything in the surrounding environment was floating and receding.
Far away, only she was left, and her joy and fear that she wanted to believe but also wanted to retreat from.
Even though she knew she couldn't see the gift bag, Lin Sanjiu's first reaction was to turn her head subconsciously and glance at the trembling shadows in the sky and earth in front of her.
She couldn't fully understand the present form of gift bag, but no matter what form or appearance he became, Lin Sanjiu just wanted to see him again and welcome him into her arms again.
But what caught his eyes at this moment was naturally not the Ji Shanqing in his memory.
That large piece of canvas-like scenery repeatedly oscillated and twisted, and even gradually formed a curved surface, abruptly opening a dark gap from reality, as if it could no longer hold down the huge thing underneath.
Lin Sanjiu just thought it was just something trying to squeeze out, but now when she took a closer look, she realized: Mausi's open and tightly held hand seemed to be holding nothing.
, but it was pulling back a little bit, as if a fisherman who had caught a net of fish was gritting his teeth and slowly pulling the net up.
She blinked sharply.
...What is Maus?
Isn't it because Feng Huanyan asked this question about the gift package just now?
"sister--"
Feng Huanyan opened her mouth again. Probably because of the brief moment when she was stunned and unresponsive, Libao became anxious. This time Feng Huanyan's voice was raised a little higher. Lin Sanjiu finally came out of that kind of spirit.
Ji Ling woke up from her trance, and a hand came up like lightning, and held her mouth down.
"...Eh." Feng Huanyan still dutifully pronounced the sound under her palm.
"Shh," Lin Sanjiu mouthed, signaling the gift bag not to make any more noises - her action was directed at Feng Huanyan, and she didn't know if the gift bag could sense it, but she let go of her hand fearfully.
After that, Feng Huanyan stood there expressionlessly, finally not calling "Sister" again.
Lin Sanjiu quickly glanced at Maus's back.
...No, she and Yu Yuan never met a man named Maosi in the station hall, let alone followed Feng Shanwu with his help.
Although this consciousness was clear and cold, pressing in her mind, there was another persistent thought, desperately reminding her that no, Maus was indeed a friend she knew, and their acquaintance and experience were shared together.
, seems to be floating under the water of consciousness, and you can pick it up with just a stretch of your hand - Besides, other people besides herself can also testify that Maus is a human being and her friend; otherwise, how could the doll be connected to it?
Neither the master nor the great witch can tell that he is actually not a human being?
Lin Sanjiu stood between the two thoughts and closed her eyes hard.
No, she...had never met Maus before getting off the spacecraft.
This is not to say that there are no scenes of Maus walking in Exodus in her mind, and there is no scene of him eating and drinking with her group; but it is these memories that feel so real and familiar that make Lin Sanjiu realize,
Maus was a character who suddenly appeared after they got off the boat.
Because she doesn't remember having these memories before.
If it were any other person in the world, it would probably be difficult to distinguish the difference between "memory" and "memory about memory"; but Lin Sanjiu has an almost pathological desire and persistence for relatives and friends -
-Every time she spends with every friend is like the dark moonlight and driftwood boat that briefly salvage her from the endless black sea. She has counted them countless times, and she couldn't be more familiar with them.
Maus suddenly appeared among them after everyone got off the boat, and it seemed that no one still doubted his existence.
Her cognition, and that of every evolver around her, seemed to have been modified unknowingly.
...Isn’t he even a human being? Then what is he?
"What's wrong?" Qing Jiuliu asked at this time, which made Lin Sanjiu startled. She turned around and saw that he raised his chin towards Feng Huanyan, probably asking her what Feng Huanyan had just said.
"She asked me what the thing that was caught earlier was," even Lin Sanjiu admired herself for being able to immediately use the same set of keywords to express different meanings. Feng Huanyan's voice was very soft just now, not to mention the scene at this moment.
In the midst of the clamor, Yuan Xiangxi was still coming up with ideas one after another. Even if there were evolutionaries around him, he might not be able to hear everything clearly.
In other words, whether her friends heard her clearly or not was not the problem; there was only one person she wanted to hide.
"We don't know either," Qing Jiuliu believed it and explained to Feng Huanyan: "Let's see what Maos catches in a while."
He is such an astute and intelligent person, but he has not realized that he did not know Maus not long ago.
"Yes, I'll go take a look," Lin Sanjiu patted Feng Huanyan on the shoulder and said calmly, "Maybe Maos needs help."
She didn't give her friends a chance to stop her. Before she finished speaking, she strode towards the [one-way passage] - Mao Si didn't even look back, all his attention seemed to be focused on the constantly trembling subspace, but
Before Lin Sanjiu could reach him, he shouted loudly: "Are you here? I'm fine, I don't need help for the time being."
Standing behind him, Lin Sanjiu still forced herself to smile. She recalled her attitude and tone when she spoke to him just now, trying not to let any clues appear in her voice, and asked: "That thing is big.
, right? Do you know what it is?"
There were bright, needle-like spots of light in Maus's eyes.
This person may be fake, but the excitement in his eyes about wanting to get it, to open it and examine it carefully, is so real that it makes people uncomfortable.
"I don't know yet," he gasped and said with a smile, "but it will be soon..."
Lin Sanjiu nodded, her tone full of worry. "Be careful, you are too close to the [one-way passage]! I feel like my heart is hanging high when I look at it. Come on, I'll catch you. Don't do it again."
Go inside, I'm afraid something might happen to you—"
As she said that, she naturally stretched out her hand towards Maus's back just like before.
There was nothing in her hand, no weapons, and her abilities were not turned on. At this moment, it was indeed a hand that wanted to protect a friend - because the existence of this man was too weird. Until she really caught him, what was Lin Sanjiu doing?
I dare not move my mind rashly.
Mausi's eyes suddenly squeezed into the corners of his eyes.
It was as if an ice cube had fallen into Lin Sanjiu's belly.
Have you exposed yourself?
Maos seemed to be about to turn his head towards her. For some reason, Lin Sanjiu suddenly had a clear idea: when he turned around, she would probably completely forget this suspicion; she would continue to think that
Maus was her friend, and she watched helplessly as he took away the gift bag.
Gift bag, if that end is really you——
As soon as Lin Sanjiu's thoughts came to his mind, the subspace connected to the [One-way Channel] suffered the most destructive impact so far.
The camouflaged piece of canvas suddenly shook in mid-air, and then was twisted up from the center, twisting out a depression; the depression seemed to be attractive, smashing all the disguised scenery in the [One-way Passage] into pieces.
It picked up pixels of various colors and quickly sucked them in like a whale, and an empty and dim subspace appeared in the sky again.
At that moment, Maus had just turned his neck halfway, and suddenly he was looking straight ahead again, as if a scene had been cut out of a movie between the previous frame and the next frame.
There is no connection between the scenes.
"Unexpectedly..." The two words he said with surprise also became the last two words he said.
Lin Sanjiu's hand had already grasped his back.
Even in that first moment, she honestly did nothing as if to protect him from falling into the [one-way passage]; after the word "actually", "seed"
The ability is activated.
"Maos" was like a torn-off human skin suit, with all its skin, facial features, and hair being pulled back, sucking into the small entrance leading to the "seed" on its back; in a blink of an eye.
In the meantime, his whole body had been sucked into a long shadow and disappeared without a trace in Lin Sanjiu's hand.
"What did you do?" The great witch was the first to react. She rushed up with a few steps, her face was shocked, suspicious and angry. "You took him into the seed? That's Maus!"
"Why?" Qing Jiuli looked back and forth between Lin Sanjiu and the [one-way passage], "Do you plan to let the things over there come in? But why did you attack Maus?"
"Let him come out," Pina begged. "It's been too long. Isn't it bad for him? Is there any misunderstanding? Let's talk about it later..."
Lin Sanjiu took a shaky breath, and for a moment her whole body felt as if she was running a fever; she couldn't believe what she had just done, let alone that she had succeeded. She wanted to see inside the "seed", "
What exactly is "Maus", but now is not the time.
When she was about to open her mouth, the puppet master spoke in a low voice.
"Look," he said gloomily, as if he had no emotion. "On the ground... is that a projection of a person?"
Everyone slowly lowered their heads.
A black shadow without a body attached to it was currently cast on the grass at Lin Sanjiu's feet. Under the dark clouds without sunlight, the edges of the black shadow were sharp and clear. A pair of feet stepped on the paint marks, and the legs pulled
Toward the back; everywhere was empty, no one cast a shadow anywhere.
"I think this thing should be a small trick of Ousius." Lin Sanjiu's breathing was a little unsteady and he said: "And... at the other end of the [one-way passage] is Ji Shanqing."
I have to emphasize again: Ji Shanqing has no gender. The reason why I use "he" to refer to him in the article is because this is how Chinese personal pronouns are used. A group of people, both male and female, is "they"; I don't know a person
When referring to the gender of a person, refer to him as "he".
Is it fair? I know it's not fair. During the Republic of China, when vernacular was promoted, a women's magazine in Shanghai once protested, saying that "he" is a human character and "she" is a female character. Doesn't it mean that women are removed from the ranks of human beings?
Has it been excluded? So I proposed to use "伊" to refer to men and women. I think this suggestion is very good, but unfortunately it has not been accepted and formed a standard, so now I have to follow Chinese grammar when writing articles and continue to use "they" and "he"
To refer to mixed groups of men and women, as well as people without gender.
