In response to Lin Sanjiu's question, the puppet master just smiled lightly and replied, "Isn't it good to eat some?" - and ignored her again.
Lin Sanjiu never told him that when he tore open his potato chip bag, he found that it was actually dried human offal inside; obviously he discovered this through [Soul of the Crew] and arranged such a skill for her, full of malice.
Ask her to eat a man's leg with a belly full of potato chips.
When Lin Sanjiu made his first sound of retching, he turned off the [Soul of the Crew] one-way in order to clear his ears.
After finally waiting for the bag with "scallion and chicken flavor" next to her to stop shaking, the puppeteer slowly kicked her off the shelf again.
Lin Sanjiu lay on the ground, listening to the painless urging in her ears. She was so angry that she wished she could give the puppeteer a bite too - "Hurry up and read it, so that you can make comparisons after you finish it."
This is a method that the two came up with in desperation. It is not very clever at all: scan and record all the goods on one side of the shelf, and then compare them with the goods on the other side. This method is largely based on luck.
But they had no choice - they invited smart people like Nuwa, and they had to make decisions based on "information". Now that their eyes were black and there was no information, they could only use this method
The stupid way is to first pry out the information.
This time, the two men's actions went smoothly, and there were no further complications.
When he was pulled up again by the same nagging and polite rope, Lin Sanjiu happened to hear the puppet master mutter to himself: "... Weird."
"What's wrong?"
"Can't match the number."
"What things don't match the number?"
"Everything," the puppeteer said in a solemn tone, "none of the products on both sides of the shelf are the same. There are always differences in taste, date, brand..."
Lin Sanjiu was stunned, and it took him a few seconds to realize that this was very different from their initial guess!
When they were trapped on the other side of the shelf, these two evolutionists, who were not particularly intelligent, came to the conclusion after ten minutes of discussion: being caught on the other side of the shelf was definitely not an accident.
It is an inevitable step in the copy. Its existence must be meaningful for cracking the copy. It is under this premise that the two people will think of comparing the goods - if the goods on both sides are the same or different, they will not care at all.
There is no doubt that a breakthrough has been found.
"Then... what's the connection between the two sides of the shelf?" Lin Sanjiu frowned and thought hard: "Speaking of which, if it hadn't fallen to the ground, that potato chip man wouldn't have come to eat people.
.Why were we arrested?"
"Can't you just shut up and think?" At this time, the puppet master did not forget to mock her, and then continued: "You stay here and think, I will go down and take a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, two questions popped up in Lin Sanjiu's mind at the same time: What is there to see down there? Also, what kind of taste does he have?
However, neither of these two questions was answered; because the puppet master suddenly snorted heavily, but somehow did not move. She waited for a while inexplicably, and finally heard his next words: "
That's it." His voice was full of coldness and anger.
Before she could ask, the other party sneered: "I can't move. Try it. Can you still move?"
Lin Sanjiu was startled and immediately tried to move. After turning into potato chips, she had difficulty moving, but after exerting the energy to feed, she could still move. But at this moment, her heart quickly became cold.
Coming down: I don’t know since when, not only was she unable to move, but her vision range seemed to have also decreased - the two of them had been relying on special items, but they didn’t realize it until now.
how so?
At this moment, the two of them thought of the same thing almost at the same time. Although neither of them expressed it in words, those few seconds of shocked silence were enough to make Lin Sanjiu panic uncontrollably.
This shelf is full of other products, and every one of them was once a human being. Why don't they save themselves?
Why do they sit silently on the shelf, waiting to be torn apart and eaten?
"...Because they can't move anymore." Lin Sanjiu said dryly, "It's like a pack of real snacks."
"No wonder there is a shelf on the other side," the puppeteer snorted, his voice low. "We must find a way to restore the human form immediately."
Lin Sanjiu cast her eyes on the floor of the aisle. There, lying crookedly, were two packages of potato chips; one was taken down by her, and the other was knocked down by the puppeteer when he was pulled back to the shelf.
Go. This shelf seems to follow the principle of "one carrot, one pit". Only one pack of snacks is allowed in one position; if a pack of snacks is missing and a deep black hole is exposed, it will be caught irresistibly and dragged into
On the other side of the shelf, it also turned into a pack of snacks.
According to personal experience, they still had a certain amount of mobility when they first became snacks; but less than half an hour later, their mobility was gradually paralyzed and tended to be gone.
"That must be the case..." Lin Sanjiu murmured, "All humans who have been turned into snacks will be pulled to the other side and kept for a period of time until they completely lose their ability to move. Then
On one side, there is a warehouse."
Anyone who is trying to save themselves on the other side will attract the potato chip man once they make a little noise. The goal set in this way is also very clear. The potato chip man is to nip all resistance in the bud.
When all humans become obedient potato chips, they should be sent back to this side of the shelf. Therefore, none of the products on both sides are the same - because they are different humans!
Perhaps occasionally there are some whose mobility has not completely disappeared. When Lin Sanjiu reaches out to it, the rooster on the packaging bag will turn its head a little bit.
The puppet master smiled sinisterly, and his voice was so soft that it almost floated, reaching Lin Sanjiu's ears like smoke: "Our sanity is still normal, do you know what this means? Beside us and behind us, there are densely packed...
A bag of potato chips is looking at us. Every move we make is seen by them, but they can't say a word or make a move."
When he thought of every product in front of him, he had a pair of straight eyes; Lin Sanjiu shuddered and said in a stern tone: "We must leave immediately!"
If they don't leave, these silent potato chips will be their fate - the question is, how can they return to their human form and get out of here quickly?
"It's really difficult for us to find the correct package among these hundreds of snacks." Lin Sanjiu forced herself to calm down and sort out her thoughts: "What's more, I don't even know what the correct standard is.
have no idea……"
"Just take the correct item out of this aisle, right?"
"Huh?" Lin Sanjiu was startled. She glanced at the aisle and found that there were no other obstacles on the ground except a shopping basket she threw down.
She really didn't want to have any tacit understanding with the puppet master, and the other party obviously had the same idea; however, the next second, as soon as they opened their mouths, they both reluctantly discovered that they both thought of going together——
The puppeteer snorted, as if he didn't want to say another word to her. The polite rope shot out from the shelf and kept waving on the shelf, so fast that it almost became a ghost.
.Under the command of its owner, it dropped a large piece of potato chips and other snacks; the products in bags, tubes, and cartons fell to the ground one after another, making loud bangs in the aisles.
The echo of thump.
"It, why did it move so fast?"
"I told it that if it continues slowly, it will be taken to the other side alone." The puppet master said in a calm voice.
However, the rope still did not escape the fate of being caught.
At this point, everything is clear: Anyone who takes the wrong product from the shelf and exposes the deep black hole, no matter it is a person or a rope, can't escape that pale arm - the rope is flexible and fast,
The wind swept through the shelves; but I didn't expect that this would bring disaster to it.
Countless pale arms swooped out from the depths of the shelves like a suddenly growing forest. Among this dense mass of arms, several hands were holding the rope at the same time; Lin Sanjiu had not had time to utter an exclamation.
, just hearing a muffled groan from the puppet master, the polite rope was pulled into the dark depths.
Lin Sanjiu suddenly remembered the tone in which she told Rope "Let's talk next time" - but she didn't say anything. It was just a special item. The puppet master didn't even care about human life, and I'm afraid it would be even worse.
I have been prepared for a long time to let that rope lead me to death.
She took over the work of the puppet maker without saying a word, said "I'm sorry", and hit the shelves with her consciousness like a whip. Suddenly, countless items fell like rain and fell to the ground. From the depths of the shelves
In the darkness, pale arms poked out one after another, their fingers turned into claws, fluttering in the air again and again, but in vain - they could indeed capture a small part of consciousness, but as long as Lin San
With the thought of wine, all the consciousness comes back; just like reaching out to fish for water, except for the little bit in the palm, the rest of the water still returns to the rivers, lakes and seas.
Soon the shelves were empty - if you don't count the thick forest-like pale arms that couldn't help but stretch out.
Lin Sanjiu and the puppet master were still sitting on the shelf. Around them, at their feet, and above their heads, were densely packed pale arms. None of them were dying. Every time they retracted, it was to eject faster the next time.
Come out; these arms are dancing, swaying, entangled, and grabbing, making the shelves look like a giant octopus, rolling its countless tentacles.
The next step was to sweep all the snacks accumulated on the floor out of the aisle - but now, neither Lin Sanjiu nor the puppet master dared to move.
Among the thick layers of snacks at the bottom, there must be the right one; once that one is swept away, the two of them will immediately turn into human shapes and fall off the shelf——
I'm afraid that by then, before they even touch the ground, they will be caught deep by these pale arms.
