"I seemed to hear a faint sound... I didn't take it seriously. At that time, a customer happened to greet me. In a place where people gather, it is inevitable that there will be various sounds. I work here every day.
I'm used to it." The dough-like store owner said gently.
"I saw it! Drink, why didn't I see it - there was a ball of fire, snapping in the sky! It's pretty big!" An idle guy sitting outside the door of Bliss shook his head and said, "Hey, I'll give that one
The kid said it, but he still doesn’t believe me!”
"I don't know, I didn't pay attention." A passerby walked by quickly, not even stopping when he spoke.
"There was a big explosion in the sky, and then something rumbled and hit the mountain. It even caused a lot of rocks to roll down from the top of the mountain, sister." A child who was so young that he could not tell his gender.
The child giggled like a snow dumpling for a while, then suddenly stopped laughing, stared at her, and asked clearly: "Who died?"
A gust of cold wind penetrated her clothes and skin, whizzing through her empty body. Lin Sanjiu was so cold that she suddenly woke up, and then she heard Teacher Yi asking cautiously: "You...
…Are you okay?”
Only then did she realize that she had been sitting on the top of the mountain for about ten minutes.
She was cold, weak, and tired. When she tried to stand up, she realized that her legs were shaking so badly, as if she was drunk, and she was too weak to stand.
The endless night fell, and the mountain at her feet was like a solitary rock in the dark ocean; bursts of wind turned into dark waves, hitting her and swaying together with the grass.
Lin Sanjiu no longer remembers how long she had been sitting here. She only remembered that she walked to Banshan Town on one pair of legs, asked about seven or eight people, and then climbed up the mountain in the dark - although when she thought about it
When I think about the past half of the night, my memories seem to be immersed in a hazy layer of fog, so blurry that I can't see clearly.
She searched the nearby valley, the shade, another hilltop... She searched them all, but she didn't see the wreckage of the aircraft anywhere - or the debris that Yu Yuan retained from the explosion. This was not surprising, because when she stood up,
In her field of vision, there were vast stretches of unexplored mountains, rising and falling coldly in the dark night, their sharp outlines piercing the sky.
Yu Yuan might have fallen into any place in the cold mountains; she might not be able to find him or the aircraft even if she spent ten days and a half on her own. It still didn't have a name, because Lin Sanjiu hoped
Yu Yuan came to name it; after all, all the driving, repairs, and maintenance work were done by him himself. But Yu Yuan hesitated for several days, and he could come up with new names every day, but he felt that none of them were good enough.
I have been struggling with comparisons until now... In the end, there is no need to do so.
Although the eastern horizon was still shrouded in darkness, she could feel that dawn was not far away. When the sky lit up, perhaps the search and rescue operations would go more smoothly...
"When it gets up, you should sign in." Immediately after this thought, Teacher Yi sighed in her mind. "The last time you signed in was at noon, right?"
"……yes."
"Don't be stupid, it will take at most an hour or two to sign in, and you can continue looking after you come back."
"……I know."
Yu Yuan has embarked on a road of death for himself, and is most likely lying in a ravine now, staring directly at the night sky with a pair of lifeless gray eyes. Or maybe he is not dead yet, and there is still the last trace left in his damaged body.
Her tone was waiting for her to save her life - but at the same time, in order to avoid the so-called "life danger", she fled back to the mountain and signed in timidly.
When she thought of this, she couldn't help but curl up and felt as if her stomach had been stabbed deeply.
How could she live on as if nothing had happened?
"If something happens to you, Yu Yuan will have no hope of surviving!" Teacher Yi emphasized heavily, perhaps sensing her turbulent emotions.
"……I know."
Lin Sanjiu sat in confusion for a while, then called out the communicator again and called Yu Yuan's communicator code. As before, what she heard was not a call tone, but only dead silence.
This communicator is a special item, but it cannot survive an explosion; once destroyed, the caller will be left with nothing.
The night slowly faded, and the blue-white clouds pulled up a sunrise from below the horizon. Along with waking up in the morning, there was also the hatred and anger that grew strong in Lin Sanjiu's chest.
If she was lucky enough to find that man—could hold his throat with her own hands, crush his trachea, and watch those cold-blooded animal eyeballs bulge out—
After searching the mountain all night long, this strong, gnawing hatred supported her to continue searching all morning. Until the sun became brighter and brighter, and under the urging of Teacher Yi, Lin San
Jiucai finally gave up and started walking down the mountain.
Since she and Sibaan left Bliss last time, she had never set foot in that building again; but today, when Lin Sanjiu approached Bliss, she stopped.
"I signed in right here." She whispered to Teacher Yi.
"Gabigail——"
"Which one are you referring to?" She interrupted Teacher Yi coldly. Probably sensing that she didn't want to be reasonable at all, Teacher Yi fell silent.
I wonder what role that fake "Gabigail" played in this whole situation?
This thought stuck in her mind. When Lin Sanjiu took out the red crystal, she even wanted to throw the whole bag in the face of the young man opposite - even though the waiter was innocent. When the other person politely said
When he signaled that she could go in, Lin Sanjiu didn't move and just sneered.
"You just let me go up to the fourth floor so casually?" She knew that the other person knew nothing, but she still couldn't control the anger in her heart: "Anyone can pay to go up there to see Gabigail?"
The young waiter pursed his lips and whispered: "She's not here."
"What if you are here?"
"Then only those with Miss Gabigail's consent can go up."
Lin Sanjiu clearly remembered that when she came to Bliss, she didn't get any consent at all - now thinking about it, that was normal. At that time, all the staff in the museum must have thought that Gabigail was not on the fourth floor. Facts On the Internet, the real Gabigail is indeed absent, but she doesn’t know...
She had to walk all three floors below before she could find the stairs leading to the fourth floor. Nine out of ten display windows in the morning were empty; occasionally a figure flashed from behind the window, which seemed to be the same. I got up late after a night of fun. Without the cover of all kinds of light and darkness, the display windows turned into dull blank grids, so boring that they could even serve as an office.
Lin Sanjiu had no interest in the people or objects in the window, and walked into the corridor in a hurry. Her lonely footsteps hit the floor, echoing out from the corridor in circles; I just walked out of the side door on the inner wall of the display window. When I saw her, I couldn't help but turn my face away - probably no matter how I evolve, this slight sense of shame will still remain.
They turned their heads and looked away, but something suddenly touched Lin Sanjiu's mind.
Face... She touched her mask, slowed down, and hesitated.
"The Gabigail I met was a clue given to me by the dream script, so she must have some kind of connection with the person who wants to kill me...right?" She asked Teacher Yi softly. No wait. She answered, and Lin Sanjiu continued: "And the person who took a picture of the aircraft... obviously, he wanted to kill me. Whether he is the mastermind behind it or not, he has a greater relationship with this matter. "
"Yes, what do you want to say?"
"If they are all related to the matter of 'killing Lin Sanjiu' -" Lin Sanjiu said while pinching a corner of his mask. "Then I will bring their target to them. "
"Don't mess around. After you sign in-"
After all, Teacher Yi's instructions were a step too late. Before he finished speaking, Lin Sanjiu had completely taken off the mask on his face.
"What are you doing! Put it on quickly!" Teacher Yi's voice was so anxious that his voice shrilled, "What if they show up before you sign in? Damn it, I get it. If you don't sign in, you yourself This idea will put your life in danger this time! I didn’t expect that a copy would actually create the law of cause and effect..."
Lin Sanjiu turned a deaf ear. Teacher Yi was only a part of her consciousness, and what she said was actually equivalent to what another part of Lin Sanjiu said; but the ever-expanding darkness in her heart had covered her fear, and Teacher Yi didn't care. No matter how you warn, they are all too weak to be powerful.
Changes occurred faster than expected.
When she was about to reach the stairs leading to the second floor, she heard a deep "pop" and the whole building suddenly fell into darkness. She turned her head, and the long, deep corridor was like a long and narrow abyss. Just like that, he was opening his mouth behind her, waiting for her to fall in.
