Doomsday Wonderland

In the misty moonlight, Bohemia and Descartes squatted together on the dirt outside the farmhouse. Under its piercing gaze, she stretched out her hand and pressed on the belly of the unconscious dog.

The room was dark just now, and the light cast by the swimming fish was thrown out before it could illuminate the surroundings; it was only now that its appearance was revealed in the moonlight, and people could see it clearly - its belly was unnaturally high. The bulge is high, as if there is a small mountain protruding under the sternum.

Checking the mouth again, the hair near the dog's mouth was clean and not stained with any blood.

"...Let's go," Descartes observed for a while, probably very disappointed, without a word of comment. "Time is running out, we have other places to check," it urged.

Bohemia nodded, turned and entered a nearby farmhouse. There was no dead person in this family, only a fat man was snoring in bed, as if he was not worried at all that he would become the victim tonight; his dog was also so fat that it was hard to look at it - it looked up and saw one person and one sperm. He lay down again.

"He also sleeps on a bed of straw," Descartes said calmly, directing Bohemia to work with just one mouth: "Grab a handful of his straw and compare it with the straw those dead people slept on. See if there is anything strange."

Although the straws were by no means identical to each other, they all looked normal and natural. Bohemia looked at the bright lights of the swimming fish for a long time and found nothing.

"Half of the body is completely broken," she recalled while guessing: "It shouldn't be the kind of monster that swallows people in one bite - for example, you - does it have countless small mouths? Or is it? , has small holes all over its body that can release impact force..."

"Stop talking, I have trypophobia." Descartes interrupted her, thinking about the straw for a while, and then came up with a guess: "The title is talking about a certain kind of creature, right? It's not a certain kind of creature. 'Only'. Maybe what we are looking for is not one creature, but a swarm of...like bed bugs or something like that. Are these little bugs supposed to be blood-sucking?"

Bohemia's eyes lit up - it was a rare occasion for her to realize that Descartes was so smart.

"It's really possible!" She patted it hard several times with her consciousness to express her appreciation: "It's easier for you to understand each other since you have become sperms."

"You just became a spirit." The Descartes spirit muttered, seeming to be unhappy - even though it had only been two sentences, the sky was brightening quickly, and the sun was already rising almost in the blink of an eye.

"It's daybreak," the title's voiceover said nonsense, "Please continue to uncover clues during the day."

...There are also clues during the day?

Bohemia quickly looked at her leaves - even if the perception of the flow of time in the problem was slower, they only had a precarious two or three minutes left to solve the problem.

She didn't know when these farmers and women walked out of the house. She collected the leaves and looked up again, and found that there were several more shadows bending down and working in the fields in the distance. A few skinny sheep walked slowly through the other side of the village. The peasant women, holding wooden basins, were gathering on the path to talk. Everyone looked nervous.

Bohemia quickly grabbed Descartes and walked over quickly. She was dressed like a gypsy, but the peasant women only raised their eyes and glanced at her, before returning their gaze to the old man in the center.

"...Our family has decided this morning to go to the city to try our luck together," said a chubby young woman who looked young. "Even if we are cheated and bullied in the city and can't find anything to do, then we still can't find anything to do." It’s better than dying here!”

The other older ones seemed to be surprised and looked at each other. It was the old man who looked like the village chief who spoke: "I have sent someone to ask the most knowledgeable person on Green Hill..."

"If you ask me, it's the curse of the witch!" The voluptuous young woman interrupted him with a fierce temper: "No matter how knowledgeable you are, you can't expel evil spirits, right? Village Chief, I have heard about their deaths. , the second half of the body is gone, but the first half is still fine, how can there be such a man-eating beast?"

Up to now, it was all useless nonsense - Bohemia tapped her toes on the ground impatiently, suppressing her temper and continued to listen.

Unexpectedly, the village chief was silenced while mumbling, and the women's conversation became even more off-topic.

"How will you live after you move to the city?" an old woman asked worriedly.

"With so many ladies and gentlemen, how can I do the work myself? I asked my distant relatives and they said there are plenty of cleaning and laundry jobs!"

"What about your fields?"

The chubby young woman seemed to have been poked into her thoughts, and became a little angry: "Don't even want that broken ground! You have also seen that since last week, the corners of our fields have begun to wither. It’s getting bigger and bigger... It’s also a cursed land, why do we still keep it!”

"Clues!" Descartes floated into the air excitedly, "She said 'yeah', which means there are more than one fields in this village that have begun to wither inexplicably... Let's go and have a look!"

Before it finished speaking, Bohemia had already turned around and ran towards the edge of the field - she felt that her speed was already fast enough, but she didn't expect that Lin Sanjiu had just arrived at the field. But the voice suddenly rang out, abruptly pulling her out of the concrete question: "I should write the answer soon! Have you solved the question?"

"It's solved, it's solved." At this time, just use a false answer to coax her. Anyway, the purpose is to make her answer the wrong question: "It's a dog."

"……dog?"

"Every household has dogs tied up as guards when they sleep, but they didn't warn. Isn't it suspicious? So I checked and found that the belly of the fifth deceased dog was very swollen. It must have sucked blood——"

Lin Sanjiu lowered his head, and the bulge on the back of his neck seemed to grow bigger. She couldn't raise her head to look at Bohemia, only a low voice came over - it sounded cold and full of suspicion: "Aren't you trying to be a disservice on purpose?"

"……Um?"

"I've also seen the dog on the fifth night. It was pregnant."

Damn, you’re the only one who understands dog hygiene.

Bohemia cursed in her heart, and for a moment she didn't know how to deceive her. She wanted to ask Descartes for her opinion, but when she turned around to look, she found that the mosaic that had always been with her had disappeared. Where - thinking about it this way, it seems that it has disappeared since it was pulled out just now... Could it be that it is still in the question and has not come out?

"I just felt something was wrong with the dungeon's opinion," she laughed dryly. "I didn't expect you and I to think about it together. I also thought she was pregnant! Well, the correct answer... The correct answer is... …”

"Tell me quickly, it's time!" Lin Sanjiu lowered her voice and said seriously.

Bohemia panicked when she urged her - especially since she couldn't breathe well now, and every word she spat out was as dry as if it had been scraped off a whetstone, which was already alarming to hear. In a moment of confusion, Bohemia opened her mouth, and the real answer slipped out of her mouth: "Yes, it may be a large group of things similar to bed bugs!"

"Ah...that makes sense." Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath. Although the sound of inhalation was still sharp, her shoulders had relaxed. "Why didn't I think of that? Such a wound..."

She spent more time on this question, and checked the books in more detail; so with just a little prompt, she understood it immediately - not only did she understand it, but even when she was swishing When writing the answers on the test paper, Bohemia took a closer look and found that her guess about this creature was more specific and comprehensive than Descartes's. It was obvious that she had connected all the clues together.

Immediately, she couldn't help but sigh with disappointment.

There was no answer to this question, so we had to wait for the next question... She looked at the trembling bulge on Lin Sanjiu's neck, wrapped in white membrane, and thought regretfully.

Lin Sanjiu hurriedly finished writing the answer. As soon as he put down his pen, the time was up, just in time to hear the leader's voice: "Player Lin Sanjiu answered a question wrong and is about to perform an onion strip."

Went to feed the squirrels today. Because I could see the fat squirrel outside the window every morning, I couldn't help it, so I bought a bag of melon seeds and went out to feed it. The goal is to introduce melon seeds into our homes little by little. It’s the first time I’ve been so close to a squirrel. The fur on its body looks so smooth, but its tail is super fluffy. It’s such a creature that lacks consistency. It's very cute, although sometimes it looks like it wants to hit me... it eats a few, then runs away with melon seeds in its mouth, digs a hole and buries it... It's really unexpected to see it burying food so diligently. "Squirrels will forget 80% of their food hiding places"...
