"My memory has been affected by the Queen Mother. Siba'an is in danger now. I must follow the direction pointed by Mim and fight with that brain. Don't look at the Queen Mother..."
"My memory is affected by the Mother Queen. Siba'an is in danger now. I must follow the direction pointed by Mim and fight with that brain. Don't look at the Mother Queen..."
In the empty brogue, Lin Sanjiu's voice kept ringing again and again, gradually drifting into the sky and vaguely dissipating.
It had only been half a minute since she rushed out of the container, and Mim had already replayed the recording for her several times: he had to reinforce her impression over and over again before Lin Sanjiu's last memory had completely faded. The situation was getting worse and worse.
Damn it, if he hesitates even a little now, Lin Sanjiu will forget what he is doing.
This section of the road seemed to have no end amid repeated forgetfulness, confusion, and the fear caused by it; in the darkness where she could not see, she followed Mim's instructions, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
She ran forward until she heard the boy suddenly shout: "Stop!"
"...Fight that brain, fight with yourself..." Her own voice came again from the tape recorder on her shoulder.
"Here, at your ten o'clock direction, about ten meters away, is...sir." I don't know whether it was because of fear or injury, but Mim seemed to have difficulty speaking every word.
"What's wrong with him?" Lin Sanjiu asked quickly before her memory was blurry, "Is he okay?"
Mim made a "gudong" sound and swallowed loudly.
"What's wrong?"
"...Do you remember the brain called the Queen Mother?"
When he finished speaking, Lin Sanjiu happened to have finished listening to the recording again. She forgot the word "brain" in the blink of an eye, but she still vaguely remembered that she was about to go to war with something huge: "I have an impression... Sba
Are you okay?"
"At least, at least sir, he looks like...no external injuries. But when I crawled over here just now, sir, he was in this upright posture, without even a hair changing. No, no, don't go over there yet..."
"Why?" Lin Sanjiu remembered that he had longed for and cared about Siba'an - it seemed that as long as it had nothing to do with that thing, her memory was still intact for the time being.
Mim was silent for a few seconds. In the dead silence of the dialect, she could clearly hear the boy's heartbeat, one after another, hitting her back strongly. His whole body was exuding the heat of fear, but his hands and feet were
Placing it coldly on her shoulders.
"That brain... that brain." Mim murmured softly, "It... it's so big... I can't even see the top of it when I look up."
He has to look up?
The hairs on Lin Sanjiu's back stood up: "You mean, it is very close to us now?"
Mim sighed tremblingly.
"It's right behind the commander, a dozen or a few steps away..." His voice shook so much that it seemed like it would break into pieces and fall to the ground: "It's getting closer and closer to the commander..."
"How could it be?" Lin Sanjiu was startled, "Isn't that thing very big? If it was going to get close to Siba'an, how come we didn't hear any movement just now?"
Mim took a breath and suddenly pressed the button of the tape recorder several times. Amidst the low buzzing sound of the tape as it rotated, he whispered: "It didn't move anywhere."
"What's the meaning?"
"I...I can't describe it well. This brain is still in the same position as when I left it just now...but it seems to be very soft and elastic. It is slowly stretching in the direction of the commander, just like...
It’s like a person pouting his mouth.”
This analogy made Lin Sanjiu fight for no reason.
However, when the shiver passed, she had forgotten why she was shivering. Why was there a layer of cloth covering her eyes? Where was she?
When she was confused, her own voice came to her ears, which seemed to have been recorded long ago: "My memory is affected by the Queen Mother..." - Lin Sanjiu listened to a few words in confusion, and then
Someone suddenly patted me on the back: "Quick, go and pull the officer over!"
Only then did Lin Sanjiu realize that she was carrying someone on her back, which should be the boy named Mim. She didn't have time to ask Sibaan what was wrong, and she forgot that she had already asked him once, so she could only follow Mim's instructions.
direction, groping forward step by step.
"Take two more steps forward," Mim was so nervous that his voice shrilled, "Don't take too big a step, we have already reached it... Do you smell the fishy smell?"
Lin Sanjiu's vision was deprived, and her other senses became more sensitive. She endured the smell and moved her arms forward several times. Suddenly, her fingertips touched something in the air. It felt like human skin, and she immediately
He grabbed it with his backhand——
"Don't!"
Mim's shout came too late. In the short moment of a backhand move, what Lin Sanjiu touched was no longer Siba'an.
A piece of smooth, elastic shell-like texture, with bumps and undulations, sank into her hand.
With Mim's uncontrollable screams, she forgot what she was doing again at this moment.
"Hurry up and grab the commander, back up! Back up!"
The boy's scream rang close to one ear, but her own voice came from the other ear. Lin Sanjiu was shocked and withdrew her hand, feeling that the thing suddenly retracted. She didn't understand her now.
She didn't know what she touched, and she didn't know why she was carrying someone on her back. In the chaos, she subconsciously raised her hand to take off the towel covering her eyes.
"Don't! Get hold of the officer!" Mim yelled mid-sentence, then suddenly struggled, his voice slurred with fear and anger. He suddenly leaned out half of her body from her back, and the weight suddenly shocked Lin.
Sanjiu tilted and lost her balance - she fell to the ground with her before she could untie the towel.
She couldn't see anything and couldn't stand still. She fell head-on on something cool and slippery. The mucus immediately covered half of her body. In the thick fishy smell, the thing slowly started to squirm, covering the outside.
The shell opened little by little against her.
"It opened its mouth!" Mim shouted loudly during the continuous playback of the tape recorder. He only yelled four words, but each word sounded more distant than the last; he seemed to be moving towards him at high speed.
The front rolled forward, and the voice gradually became distant: "Hurry, catch me quickly, it is attracting me to fall into an opening in the brain! Don't let me, sir, be sucked in too!"
Lin Sanjiu just raised her hand to take off the towel, gritted her teeth, and held back - "Don't look at the Queen Mother," was what the tape recorder had just said, "You must fight against your own will, don't obey.
it!"
Panting, she got up from the ground and jumped in the direction of Mim - however, she was covering her eyes now, and her sense of direction was also affected. This jump happened to bump into a person; that person immediately and
She rolled to the ground together, and there was a heavy thud on the back of her head, as if she had been hit hard.
Mim's last scream and Sibaan's gasp of pain rang in Lin Sanjiu's ears at the same time.
"Why," Siba'an just woke up and was full of confusion: "I...where am I?"
Lin Sanjiu didn't have time to explain - the memory she had just stirred up by the tape recorder was now gradually dissipating like a puff of smoke; she hurriedly shouted, "Don't look back at the Queen! I'll save Mim!", and then stood up.
The ground jumped.
"Wait," Siba'an suddenly grabbed her ankle, and his tone suddenly became solemn and urgent: "Get down!"
Why is this?
"quick!"
Probably seeing that she didn't react for a moment, Siba'an immediately made a move - Lin Sanjiu felt his palm hit the back of her knee. Her calf suddenly softened, and he pushed her hard, causing her to fall heavily to the ground again.
.
At the same moment when her face hit the ground, she vaguely felt that the gap in the towel seemed to be lit up by a burst of blue light; something swished past the back of her head, leaving a chill behind.
Then a sharp and painful scream suddenly vibrated from the depths of their minds; the inaudible, boundless sound seemed to press on their minds like a weight. The queen writhed and struggled.
, the earthquake shook the ground. In the dust, Lin Sanjiu lay stiffly on the ground and asked in a low voice: "What is that?"
"If I hadn't glanced behind me just now, I would have forgotten about it." Siba'an gasped and replied, "When I rushed out, I put down a 'guarding pillar'... Once I was attacked by an external force, the guarding pillar would
will be activated automatically."
The attack released by the guarding pillar was originally aimed at Lin Sanjiu; fortunately, Sibaan pushed her in time, which saved her life - and the mother queen was so big that it almost covered this
Half of the area in the cavity was hit by the blue light without any suspense.
【Guardian Pillar】
A wooden stick from an Indian tribe, if it can stand upright after letting go, it can bring protection to people and counter all harm. But it is old, dirty and round in shape, and will roll to the ground when it stands up;
According to legend, only descendants with the blood of the tribe and full of piety can make it stand upright on the ground through prayer, which is equivalent to a piece of waste.
In order to sell it at a good price, the arsenal put a metal shell on it, installed a ring of amplifiers, and added a support for land, water, and air. This guard pillar suddenly became worth a hundred times—because it can no longer fall down.
.
Although the blue light hit the mother queen, it seemed to only be slightly injured; after the heavy voice screamed distortedly in the two people's minds for a while, it gradually calmed down, and it seemed that the injury was not serious.
Immediately afterwards, the ground shook again; this time the tremors were very regular, as if the behemoth was retreating little by little.
"Mim, Mim was sucked into that thing!" Lin Sanjiu shouted while her memory was still clear: "But you can't look back!"
The two of them couldn't see, so they didn't know the situation; more than ten seconds had passed since Mim's last scream, and the boy never made any sound again - their only pair of eyes also disappeared.
Lin Sanjiu called out [Tornado Whip] and got up; after making sure that the towel was still tightly wrapped, she groped towards the source of Mim's voice in her memory. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but it seemed like she was in her mother's house.
After Wang was injured, her memory retention time became slightly longer.
There is no other way now, she must try her luck with such a stupid method - the thing is huge, can't a blind cat touch a dead elephant?
"Wait a minute, you don't have to rush over." Siba'an suddenly called her again, his voice was hard, like a stone frozen in winter. "Your painter is here... you turn around first."
Come here."
Lin Sanjiu was startled, her heart gradually felt cold, but she turned around as she was told.
"Take off the towel."
She hesitated for a moment and took off the towel.
The moment she regained her vision, one couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart. The tape recorder fell to the ground, and the tape was still spinning, playing her voice; Siba sat on the ground, her naked upper body seemed to be frozen.
The dead statue remained motionless. In the dim light that lit up somewhere in the vernacular, the painter was standing not far in front of the two of them, holding a painting in his hand.
This time he painted the Queen on it. Something had been sucked into the canvas, and it looked very complete. On a brain filled with earthen cavities and curved with grooves, there was a dark crack, and it was still flickering.
A little blue light seemed to be the wound that had just been punched.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't look away from the ground in the painting.
A thin, headless corpse, like a thin fallen leaf, lay quietly on the ground. My mother, I can’t survive. There won’t be any updates on the 26th. I’m going to take a day off. I’m going to suffer from jet lag! This news coincides with Fanshuang in the first month of the year.
