"There are many kinds of goods hanging on the circular shelf on the right side of the store. There is a long box among them, which contains 'necessary supplies for survival in the wild.' Open it."
After the four round leaves disappeared, Lin Sanjiu lay straight on the platform, her muscles beginning to ache due to the tension. In order to try to forget the discomfort, she recalled every word she had told the round leaves.
"Essential supplies for wilderness survival" was what she noticed when she visited the store several times in the past. She remembered that the contents of the supplies were written on the box, including accelerants and fire starters. Those seemed to be things left before the end of the world.
, it has been displayed in the store for a long time and has not been sold.
Just open it and set fire to it.
The round leaves should be able to do this...right?
The sun had gradually moved to the middle of the sky, and the strong sunlight reflected the sky into a transparent light blue, making her have to squint her eyes. Her face and body were warm from the sun, but this warmth was only
It became more and more uncomfortable; the longer time passed, the higher her heart became.
After all, it was just four tea leaves... Did she really have too much expectations for the tea leaves?
Ever since the boy put the head in the box, she hadn't heard any noteworthy sounds. Moving objects, opening and closing doors, and vague footsteps sounded for a while, but it was difficult to tell from the sound what was going on in the store.
After that burst of noise, the store became quiet. Occasionally, only the boy sniffed far away, as if he was behind the store. There were no customers for such a long time, so it seemed that he had closed the store.
Is there a gap under the door? Lin Sanjiu thought a little worriedly, those brothers are much chubbier than ordinary tea leaves, can they fit in?
Also, that boy killed "Lin Sanjiu", why didn't he contact other personalities quickly? What did he want to do by leaving a body in the store?
The most important thing is, it's almost afternoon, will the leaves be reincarnated before they can set fire to it?
Lin Sanjiu lay on the rooftop and thought wildly for a while. The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. Just as she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard a crisp "clang" sound from her earphones, which made her heart shrink. It sounded like,
It sounded like a box falling to the ground.
The tea leaves must have been accidentally touched!
She waited nervously for a while, and sure enough, she heard a blur of footsteps rushing towards her from far and near; the boy stomped closer to the cabinet where the head was placed, and asked in a loud voice: "Who is it?"
From the earphones, the store was completely silent.
The boy seemed to walk over lightly, and then there was another burst of noise that was difficult to hear.
She held her breath unknowingly, not daring to let go of any sound, for fear that she would hear a sharp "Ah" from the round tea leaf - she waited nervously for a while, but only heard the boy muttered "It's not hung up properly"
?”, and he seemed to be tinkering with the shelves.
Relaxation and disappointment flooded into my heart at the same time.
The round tea leaves were not found, but they obviously failed. After the boy was led out by the sound, he must have hung the box back up; now, the round tea leaves had to try again - but they moved slowly and their bodies
They are also inflexible, and time no longer allows them to start over from scratch.
Lin Sanjiu squinted her eyes and could barely make out the strong light source in the center of the sky through the shadow of her eyelashes.
I don’t know when it was already noon.
"Teacher Yi, when did I go to drink tea?" she asked in her mind.
Her consciousness was consumed too much in the past few days, and it was only today that she finally recovered. Teacher Yi was finally able to respond to her call in time: "Let me think about it... it was probably after twelve o'clock. You signed in not long after that day."
I went to drink round tea, and although I walked around for a while, it would definitely not be past twelve-thirty at the latest."
Lin Sanjiu breathed out silently.
There is really not enough time... In a little while, those four round tea leaves will be reincarnated.
"What should we do now?" Teacher Yi asked a little bitterly, "Let's not mention whether we can still see those four guys, the physical projection is about to expire... The corpse suddenly disappeared from the store, it must be
It would arouse suspicion. It would be different if there was a fire. If there was a fire, the boy would definitely think that someone had entered, and then the body would disappear."
Lin Sanjiu was certainly aware of this. She controlled her breathing and bit her lip tightly.
Could it be that all her efforts were in vain?
There was silence in the earphones again, and the boy seemed to have walked back to the back of the store. She still remembered the long, narrow aisle at the back of the store, and the yard where the aircraft was parked; it felt like the actual area of the store was much larger than the facade.
It looks much bigger.
"Forget it," she said silently to Teacher Yi, "If it doesn't work, I will cut off the projection while he is not in the store now——"
Before she could finish her thoughts, another soft "pop" suddenly sounded from the earphones, immediately cutting off her unfinished words. Lin Sanjiu shivered, and quickly stood up her ears, listening intently to what was coming from the earphones.
any slightest sound.
Although the store is still relatively quiet, there is an indescribable, vigorous and aggressive sound that gradually spreads in the ears. It is like a tide or the sound of wind, filling everything it touches.
, from time to time, something would make a low crisp sound like it was exploding; soon, it could be felt in the cabinet with the human head - it was the special feeling when the tongue of fire licks and devours the surrounding objects.
Burning silence.
"They succeeded!"
Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately turned over and sat up. She raised her hand to turn off the physical projection, feeling a little unbelievable. "They actually succeeded!"
She put the projector away as a card, put on a mask in a hurry, raised her legs and ran to the rooftop exit: "Maybe I still have time to pick up the boss and the others -"
"No more," Teacher Yi suddenly reminded in a low voice: "It's already time."
Lin Sanjiu was stunned and stopped in the corridor: "...What time is it?"
After humans rebuilt society, they also restored part of their way of life. She walked a few steps along the corridor of the hotel, looked up, and her eyes fell on a clock on the wall.
"12:43," she stood in the corridor, a little confused: "They... they have been reincarnated."
Teacher Yi didn't say anything for a long time.
She comes from Lin Sanjiu's subconscious, which is a collection of her emotions, memories, experiences and thoughts that are usually suppressed by her will; she must be able to feel more clearly than Lin Sanjiu himself how... lonely she feels at the moment.
.
"Come and go, get together and go away," Lin Sanjiu smiled bitterly and softly comforted Teacher Yi: "Actually, it's normal. I've long been used to it."
She went back to her room, changed her clothes, and quietly walked out of the back door of the hotel. She knew exactly what she should do now: "Lin Sanjiu" was dead at this time, and she would use this time to rush to the Orange Garden to carry out the next step.
One step plan - there, exodus has been waiting for her for several days.
"Don't they also want to be reincarnated," Lin Sanjiu said as if she was running out of words to find something to say, "They find it very tiring to accompany me. Also... I seem to have made them do a lot of things."
With a body that is short and round, has no arms and legs, and only has a little tea stalk underneath, no matter what kind of activity it is, it must be very strenuous.
It wasn't until she boarded the docking station of a giant spaceship that Teacher Yi sighed softly.
"This kind of companion tea is really... so weird," Lin Sanjiu bought a ticket and walked into the sky tunnel for boarding the ship with the crowd; high in the sky beside her, there were several similar giant spaceships.
Suspended in the sky, the whale-like belly of the ship was exposed from the clouds. She looked at the clouds floating past outside the sky tunnel, and she felt a little envious for a moment: "I can only accompany you for five days, what's the point? They're gone.
After that, it makes people feel even more lonely, doesn’t it?”
"After the matter is resolved, let's go back to the round tea shop." Teacher Yi suggested, "Maybe there is a way to see them again... Of course, if the shop owner doesn't teleport away."
Lin Sanjiu responded in her heart, feeling that she was a bit shameful: she had gone through so many life and death situations in the apocalypse, and she couldn't become weak just because of a few tea leaves.
As she walked, she forced herself to rethink the situation at hand and what she should do; after walking like this for a while, the sky tunnel was not finished yet.
"Is the tunnel so long?" Lin Sanjiu murmured and looked around. The two sides of the tunnel are transparent, and I don't know what material it is made of. If you stand on the edge of the walkway and look down, the Black Market in the distance will look like
It was like a hive of countless bees, crowded with countless heads of people.
"It's very long," an evolutionist passing by her seemed to have heard her muttering to herself, and answered loudly: "Just look at the spaceship parked in the clouds in the distance. We are leaving
The place where the spaceship is parked is still some distance away."
"Are they all stopped at the same height?" Lin Sanjiu raised his head and asked.
The middle-aged man carrying a long travel bag seemed to be willing to say a few words: "Yes! Is this your first time on this kind of spaceship? This is the largest spaceship provided by Night Travel Girl.
, the flight distance is the longest, and the traffic level in the sky is also the highest. You know, right? Each different type of aircraft can fly at different heights... Arrange the flight plan layer by layer, so that it will not
There was an accident in the air. I like spaceships very much. If you have any questions, just ask me."
He seemed to be expecting Lin Sanjiu to ask him more questions, but Lin Sanjiu disappointed him.
She stopped in a daze, staring at the whale-like spaceship in the clouds in the distance. She didn't know what to think of, and she was silent for a while. She didn't bite until the enthusiastic but disappointed evolver walked away.
He cursed lowly with his back teeth: "...Isn't it possible?"
