After being attacked by the jellyfish several times in a row, Lin Sanjiu's face turned pale in pain, and cold sweat soaked through her vest, sticking coolly to her back. A piece of tentacles fluttered in front of her eyes again, and they were so densely packed.
People felt chills in their hearts after seeing it - but Lin Sanjiu gritted her teeth and forced herself not to move a step away.
When countless jellyfish tentacles floated in front of her, they stopped. The puppeteer's voice came over coldly: "Why don't you run away?"
"Those data bodies parsed the copies and copied them exactly as they were... I know you don't believe me, but no matter what, it is the most unwise way for the two of us to fight each other now." Lin Sanjiu hissed.
Holding on to the air-conditioning, I hope the puppeteer can also see who the real enemy is: "We know too little about them, and we can't give them an opportunity to take advantage of them!"
With a snap of fingers, the jellyfish in the air disappeared. The dark figure stood in front of the cashier and remained silent for a while.
Lin Sanjiu breathed a sigh of relief. Just when he was about to say something more, his eyes suddenly blurred and he realized that the puppet master was already standing in front of him. When he was so close to him, it seemed as if he was being targeted by some kind of inhuman beast.
- His skin was almost abnormally pale among the black leather, and his eyes, wrapped in silver-gray glitter, looked even more gloomy.
"If this copy ends and those so-called data bodies haven't appeared yet," the puppeteer said in an almost soft voice accompanied by a vague, extremely unnatural smell of powder, "...you will regret it.
Already."
It will be a matter of the future whether she will regret it or not. She has to get over the current situation. Lin Sanjiu gasped and told everyone exactly how she met Brother Tudou and what they did in the dungeon.
Puppet Master—Fortunately, the latter had seen half of the person on her back, and finally gained a little trust through this.
Lin Sanjiu was also a little surprised that until she finished speaking, the convenience store was still quiet and there was nothing strange about it.
The two looked at each other, both of them a little confused about the direction of this copy. Seeing the puppet master lift his chin towards her, Lin Sanjiu breathed out and walked to the cashier.
"Is anyone there?" she called out, looked around, but cautiously didn't touch anything: "I'm shopping."
A loudspeaker in an Indian accent asked on the wall behind the cashier: "Mrs. Cleveland, what would you like?"
"Hmm..." Lin Sanjiu pointed to a pack of chewing gum and said, "This is good, how much does it cost?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a deafening wave of sound suddenly rushed out from the speaker, as if it was hitting hard, making Lin Sanjiu dizzy and even his brain went numb - "Wrong answer! Wrong answer!"
Answer!"
WTF?
This wave of sound was so strong that Lin Sanjiu felt as if she had been slapped several times. Unexpectedly, the following words would be louder and louder: "Mrs. Cleveland, I am so disappointed in you!" - tight
Then, she suddenly heard the sound of glass exploding. When she looked back, she found that the door of the nearest freezer had been shattered, and glass shards were scattered all over the floor.
Is it such a big sin to buy a piece of chewing gum?
After finally waiting for the sound wave to subside, the two waited for a while, but there was no sound from the speaker. Judging from just a few words, except that "Lin Sanjiu cannot buy chewing gum", there was almost no information.
nor.
"It's a bit weird." The puppet master came out from behind her and said softly: "Generally speaking, the rules of action should be explained clearly at the beginning of the copy."
"Yes, we should at least tell you what goals we have to achieve before we can leave the dungeon, but we are not told anything here." Lin Sanjiu realized that he had been shocked and fell to the ground at some point. He stood up and rubbed his hands.
Ringing and painful ears.
"Who is 'we' to you?" The puppet master suddenly frowned.
"I guess, since they have mastered the data composition of this copy," Lin Sanjiu turned a deaf ear to him and continued: "Is it possible... that they deleted the part introducing the action rules?"
The puppet master gave a deep snort and was noncommittal.
If this is the case, it will be troublesome... Lin Sanjiu sighed. That means that the two of them must try out the operating rules of this copy bit by bit at their own expense. And there is no need to ask, the puppet master
It will definitely push her to the front.
With a little luck, she raised her voice and asked a few questions about what she should buy and what would happen if she bought the wrong thing; but just as she feared, no sound came from the loudspeaker.
"They wanted to get our internal information, so they trapped us in the dungeon." Lin Sanjiu did not dare to use [Conscious Mimicry], so he tried his best to analyze the situation at hand: "In other words, if we fall
Damn it, what happened here will help them obtain information..."
"What you said is the same as what you didn't say." The puppet master interrupted her coolly, "The consequences in the dungeon are nothing more than death or injury. Who doesn't know how to avoid this situation? Stop talking nonsense and go ahead.
Over there, I'll stay here and split up to explore the environment."
What he was referring to were several rows of shelves in the store.
Lin Sanjiu had no better idea, so she nodded and walked to the corner shelf. She heard a "cluck" behind her, and when she turned around, she found that there was a goose at the puppet master's feet.
【Tomb Robber Goose】
It is said that when an ancient tomb is just opened, the tomb robbers always tie the ducks and geese with ropes and put them into the tomb to see if there is any poisonous gas inside. This big goose has rich experience in exploring the way.
, after the tomb robbing behavior was cracked down by the state, he was rehired with a high salary as a pioneer in exploring other environments.
"If you have it, why do you let me go?" Lin Sanjiu's eyes widened immediately.
"You are a supplement to this goose." The puppeteer glanced at her, and the big goose waddled into the shelves.
It's a pity that I don't have such convenient props...
Lin Sanjiu sighed secretly, but was unwilling to call out the weapon; the less she used her abilities, the less information those data objects would get. She looked around and grabbed an iron wire shopping basket.
With a "chi" sound, the puppeteer walked into the aisle between the shelves.
When she raised her eyes, she was stunned.
After entering, the shelf room was no longer what it was before. The shelves rose straight into the air, like two rows of high cliffs, and the tops were submerged in the darkness, making Lin Sanjiu, who was nearly 1.8 meters tall, look like a
Child.
No matter whether you look forward or look back, you can't see the end of the aisle in front of and behind you. The dim light shines down from nowhere, but it can't illuminate the distance. The shelves stretch out far away and merge into a mass.
dark.
The packaging of tens of millions of products on the shelves has faded and is covered with dust. At a glance, everything is gray. Small particles float in the air and are caught by the thick spider webs in the corners.
Layers of dirty dust hanging in the air.
Lin Sanjiu shouted a few words about the puppet master, but her voice echoed under the high ceiling, arousing several echoes, but she did not hear a response from the other party. She thought for a while, grabbed the basket tightly, and slowly
Walk forward slowly.
On this row of shelves, a variety of puffed foods are neatly arranged. The round smiling faces on the tubes of potato chips stretch all the way to the end of the shelf. Although the packaging is dim and old, you can still see that they represent different flavors.
The colors are just as gray and old as old photos.
Lin Sanjiu walked to the end of the first shelf and listened carefully. The store was completely silent - neither the puppeteer nor the big goose had disappeared. Not even a slight fluctuation in the air flow could be detected.
Just when she took a step and planned to step into the aisle, she failed to take that step - the collar of her vest suddenly seemed to catch something and pulled her back again. Lin Sanjiu was startled and hurriedly
When he turned his head, he found that there was nothing behind him.
She turned her eyes in surprise, and then froze. On the row of shelves in front of her, a round-faced trademark printed on a potato chip tube slowly turned his eyes towards her, raised his beard, and smiled.
.
"If you want to go there, you have to find the right potato chip and put it in the basket." Countless potato chip tubes and packaging bags on the shelf looked at her and said sharply.
