Doomsday Wonderland

... Lin Sanjiu stood there, still holding the Bohemian robe tightly in her hands, the tassels gently brushing her knees in the dark; what she smelled in her nose undoubtedly belonged to the puppet master. Unique aroma.

"Bohemia?" she called tentatively, but received only silence in response. She tried again: "...puppet master?"

No matter who she called, the person she caught didn't react at all, or even move. Instead, she heard Kurosawa Ji's very impatient voice: "What on earth are you doing? Light!"

Lin Sanjiu couldn't explain it now, so she had to quickly rummage through her card library. The gift package gave her a lot of flashlights, but it was a pity that she lost every one she used. Even she didn't know if she had any left. At this moment, she heard a "pop" sound not far away, and the light suddenly dispersed the darkness. , filling the field of vision.

As soon as such a dazzling bright light suddenly appeared from the absolute darkness, she couldn't help but squint her eyes, lowered her head subconsciously, and wanted to raise her hand to block it - at this moment, she suddenly froze.

The man standing in front of her was very tall, far beyond the height of Bohemia, but his head was covered with a robe belonging to Bohemia. This person cannot be a puppeteer, because the robe clearly outlines the outline of a head; under the Bohemian robe, a long cloth sheet is revealed, covering his head. It's tightly caged down to the feet.

Who did the red-faced man catch?

Lin Sanjiu took two steps back in a hurry, her eyes still fixed on that person. She didn't even have time to glance around, until Kurosawa Ji suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Stop!" - she suddenly jumped up and stopped in time. .

"what happened……"

She murmured and turned her head, her eyes falling on the reason why Kurosawa Ji asked her to stop.

At first, she didn't understand what she was seeing at all - no, it should be said that after staring at it for several seconds, Lin Sanjiu still didn't understand. There were so many questions that burst into her mind that for a while, she didn't know where to start, or whether she was hallucinating.

The floor beneath her feet was just like the rest of the hospital; but just a few inches beyond her heels, the floor melted like butter. It lost its original shape and texture, and like a spiraling sand dune, it succumbed and gave way to outsiders. above the floor -

In order to describe it, Lin Sanjiu had to search for suitable words in his mind for a while.

"I understand, the things here seem difficult to understand," the NPC's voice shook her out of her stupor. She raised her finger and pointed, indicating: "But I didn't lie to you, this is indeed the room containing the dead points. .”

This room was surprisingly large. When I stood at the door and looked in, the wall at the other end was only the size of a fingernail. It was more like a giant warehouse than a room. There are tree-shaped white objects made of unknown materials standing in the room. Each "white tree" has many branches stretched out, neatly arranged to the end of the room, like a tree dyed white by heavy snow. orchard. The only open space without a "white tree" was where they were standing, near the door.

"Every branch represents a dead person," the NPC was sitting under the wall, the only one with a normal expression. "As I said, as long as Wei Xing is right about the hidden way to earn points, I can work around it and take out the points for you..."

Now, whether he could get the dead man points had become the last question in Lin Sanjiu's mind. The sight of the white trees in front of her was not fantastic at all compared to what was not far behind her.

She glanced blankly at the tall man wearing a cloth robe beside her, and then stared blankly at the things behind her for a while. It is obviously something that should not exist in this place, pushing the floor away like a wave; to describe it, it is like someone cut off a piece of a night in the jungle and squeezed it into this hospital In the space - dense layers of branches and leaves poked out from above the floor. From a close distance, you could still smell the faint smell of grass and earth in the woods. At the junction between it and the hospital, the light and matter seemed to be slightly distorted, blurred, and undulating, as if one shadow was soaked in another.

"W-What is this...?" she asked softly, as if she was afraid of scaring the thing.

The NPC asked, "What do you think this is?"

Lin Sanjiu stared at it blankly. When she spoke again, she heard herself say: "...This is another copy."

There were several crisp sounds of "papa", which made her almost jump up in shock. The NPC clapped her hands twice and praised: "You guessed it, right? Because there is no basis for you to make a guess." It’s amazing that you can guess right!”

Is it really a copy? How is this going? Why are there still copies in the copy?

Her mind was almost bursting with questions; at this moment, Kurosawa Ji made a deep sound from his throat, and she didn't know what it meant. Lin Sanjiu looked around and saw him clearly for the first time.

At first glance, there was no difference between him and before he entered the room. He was standing under the other wall with his arms folded. Even his stinky face was the same; but after she took another look, she suddenly froze. .

Behind Kurosawa Masaru, the same distorted edge of light and shadow was faintly revealed, but judging from the fleeting tones, it was not a jungle wrapped in the light and shadow, but some other scene. The size of that thing was obviously smaller than the one next to Lin Sanjiu, and it was almost invisible because of Kurosawa Ji's body - but when she took a closer look, she couldn't help but feel a little thump in her heart.

He didn't just happen to be standing there.

He was "caught" by the ankle by that copy.

"Don't come here," Kurosawa Ji seemed to see through what she wanted to do at a glance, and said with a sullen face, "This thing behind me... this copy is trying to squeeze out."

"What do you mean?" Lin Sanjiu rubbed her temples vigorously, "You...could it be said that you are using your body to block it...and push it out?"

Kurosawa Ji snorted noncommittally from his nose. "No need for you to come over anyway. Who is that person?"

He never liked others helping him - Lin Sanjiu followed his instructions and turned to look at the tall man covered in a cloth robe, feeling that he had never been so confused in his life. There were so many problems that it seemed like it didn’t matter which one to start with; she walked up, stretched out her hand to hold the robe, and whispered: "I don't know... let's take a look."

The fringed robe belonging to Bohemia was pulled off the man's body with a crash, and another long layer of cloth also slipped down - the man underneath trembled slightly, as if he wanted to move, but couldn't. Stopped himself.

...Under the two layers of fabric, Lin Sanjiu's eyes fell on an empty shoulder.

There is nothing above the collarbone.

The body below the collarbone was wearing the same hospital gown as other patients; the hospital gown was only loosely put on, and she could see the tight black leather underneath at a glance.

"Isn't it a living person?" Wei Xing, who was standing next to the NPC, couldn't help but be a little surprised: "I saw something moving in the net bag before..."

Lin Sanjiu felt as if she was in a dream and threw away the cloth robe in a daze. She reached out and took one of the other person's hands - it was indeed the puppet master's hand. She remembered how pale his skin was, and the cyan veins on the back of his hand were as faint as the veins of a leaf. His fingers were cold, so thin that only slender joints remained. When he didn't use force, they were like ice that would break if he broke.

But - but -

She quickly picked up Bohemia's robe and covered her head and face with it again on the puppet master. Sure enough, just like before, the cloth fell down in the shape of a head above the apparently bare shoulders.

"Who is this person?" Kurosawa probably didn't like being trapped in confusion, so his tone worsened: "Does he have a head or not?"

"Can you hear me?" Lin Sanjiu didn't take off her robe, UU Reading www. uukａnshu.net asked, staring at the puppet master's body without blinking. "You...you are a puppet master, right?"

The person under the cloth raised a hand. Under the gazes of several people, the hand waved left and right.

"No, no?" Lin Sanjiu had sweat on his forehead. The other party could obviously hear it, otherwise he wouldn't have raised his hand to respond. But if he wasn’t a puppet master, who could he be? No, no, if it was really the puppet master, how could he be walking around without a head... "Then who are you?"

The man under the cloth raised his hands. This time, he straightened his two arms and made a big circle in the air - this was an action that even the puppet master couldn't do even if he killed him. Lin Sanjiu's heart sank, and at this moment he realized that this People are indeed not puppet masters.

……what's going on?

"What do you mean?" she murmured, "are you pointing to something... big?"

As soon as these words came out, she almost choked on her own saliva.

"Big—big witch!" Lin Sanjiu jumped up on the spot, "Big witch!"
