Doomsday Wonderland

What about Bohemia? What about the puppeteer?

Why do they no longer “exist” in this space?

They'd seen the elevator...and had she been thrown off?

At the moment when thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, Lin Sanjiu suddenly saw himself, climbing up and down this dark, long and endless staircase alone, never to see anyone again in his life. A living person other than her.

She would rather die immediately, would rather become a fallen species after death, would rather spend the rest of her life with the former guard, as long as she is not allowed to see anyone again——

Fortunately, the instinctive fear at this moment was immediately forcibly dispelled by her will; she took a deep breath, stared at the motionless black back of the puppet master in front of her, and shouted with all her strength: "Wait for me. !”

On the stairs a few meters in front of her, there was no reaction from the backs of the three people. Only the light fish was still swimming back and forth above their heads.

Lin Sanjiu suppressed the trembling of her body, roared lowly, and threw herself up the stairs as soon as her feet were strong. She was almost convinced that the shadows in front of her were not real people at all. The real Bohemia and the puppet master had long been separated from her at some point; as long as she rushed forward, she would pass through those shadows——

She never expected that with a muffled sound, she bumped into something soft and yet hard. She rushed up with too much force and was knocked back violently. Her feet slipped from the edge of the narrow steps and she fell down the endless dark stairs.

As she rolled down the stairs, the three figures in front of her were still silent with their backs to her. Everyone put one foot on the step in front and stood on the same spot with the other; no one looked back, no one made a sound, and her back became smaller and smaller as she got further and further away, as if they were all there. Waiting patiently for her to fall into the dark depths from which she could never climb out, they could then move on.

When she rolled and fell and was knocked dizzy, Lin Sanjiu grabbed the handrail on the wall and finally leaned on the steps to steady her body. Panting, she looked up and found several people in the distance. Where the little figure stood, there seemed to be a not-too-bright silver line between the ceiling and the wall, tracing an edge like a hook.

If the angle hadn't been different after she fell, she probably wouldn't have noticed this - knowing what was wrong, she immediately gained some confidence and shouted to her companions who didn't know where they were, "I'm lost." !Wait for me!", while raising his body, he was about to rush forward again.

Among the thousands of evolvers at the end of the world, almost everyone has psychological problems, and she has long known that she is one of them. This realization became clearer and crueler as she rushed upward: she was not injured or attacked, she was still so strong; but she had never felt so weak. She rushed too fast, tripped over herself again, and even started to climb up the stairs on hands and knees - how long had it been since the previous guard saw the elevator? Please, please, please, please, please...

The subconscious "please" she was pleading to, but she didn't know who it was, suddenly stopped in her mind. Lin Sanjiu was already only a few steps away from the figure of the puppet master in front of her. Because the steps were too steep, she unknowingly kept climbing on her hands and feet, because it would save more effort and be more convenient... for her. , the same is true for corpses.

She turned her head slowly.

Because the blood had accumulated on the face, the skin on the face was mixed with large patches of green and red, and even the facial features could not be discerned. The eyes were unaffected. In the extremely open eyelids, two bulging gray eyeballs were looking at her motionlessly. The corpse was on all fours, but its neck was twisted in a circle in the collar. It was still the same as when he fell on his back on the steps, turning his face from bottom to top, looking at Lin Sanjiu.

This is impossible.

She heard herself scream in surprise; and when she threw a force of consciousness towards the corpse, she already vaguely knew what would happen next. The next second, she really felt that the consciousness that had been thrown out was knocked back. Just when she was about to hit herself, she hurriedly took it in again.

It’s the same thing as a fake back!

As soon as this idea came into my mind, the irrational fear just now was immediately diluted by logic. The stairwell was very narrow, and given the body's size, there was no reason why it would be impossible for him to crawl side by side with her - but she never felt anything hit her. With this doubt in mind, Lin Sanjiu lowered his head and understood immediately: the edges of the body's torso and shoulders were bent like in the photo, and the same familiar silver line appeared on the edge.

Someone sneaked in, someone used this photo-like illusion to separate them!

But when did you come in...?

In an instant, many fragments were reorganized in Lin Sanjiu's mind, creating a picture that made her suddenly realize it, but also mixed with many doubts. She knew that now was not the time to study it in detail, so she immediately threw out a shirt using [Flat World]. When it landed on the "body" of the corpse, the picture shivered twice and was stored in the card of the shirt. She didn't have time to read carefully what was written on the card. She just stood up quickly, called out a few more towels in her hand, and waved them towards the puppet master's untouched back.

The puppet master, the former guard, Bohemia, the light fish on the head... all looked like three-dimensional photos, all attached to the towel turned into a card in one movement, and the stairwell suddenly became dark. Come down.

...The true companion is just ahead.

Someone got in between her and the puppeteer, leaving her far behind; that person took her place and probably followed them to the elevator - she now had to run as fast as possible, in front of everything. Get there before it's too late!

She only hoped that the few words she just shouted could be heard by the puppeteer or Bohemia in front; these images could not block the sound, otherwise she would not be able to hear the voice of the former guard.

In the dark stairway, Lin Sanjiu put one hand on the handrail and rushed out without stopping. She ran and shouted, but the only answer she received was the empty and lonely stairs; she stumbled up an unknown number of steps in the dark, but never saw the end, like a hamster that kept stepping on the wheel, going back and forth. Not knowing that I was just spinning in circles.

When her heart sank deeper and deeper into the darkness, a ray of light in front of her suddenly broke through the darkness, quickly brightening a small area of ​​her field of vision as she rushed toward her. Lin Sanjiu's spirit was shaken, and she recognized the source of the light at the same time. It is in the shape of a swimming fish.

"Bohemia!" she cried urgently.

But no one showed up with the swimming fish. In fact, the swimming fish was not here to illuminate Lin Sanjiu, because as soon as it swung its tail, it passed over her head, and swam out to the stairway below her without looking back, and in a moment it was gone. Disappeared into the darkness.

...Where is it going?

Although she was even more confused, at any rate, the swimming fish at least meant that Bohemia and her group should be not far ahead; she felt much more energetic and sped up again, and sure enough, they arrived not long after The end of the stairs. There was finally a row of lights on the ceiling, and the ground beneath his feet suddenly opened up and became a platform like a hall.

She turned around and saw several people standing on the right side of the hall. Bohemia was facing away from her, gesturing in the air with one hand, as if he was talking to the puppeteer and the former guard. Who was it for a moment? He didn't even notice she was coming up. The building materials here are the same as those in the stairs, absorbing all sounds; even though both parties are within sight of each other, if they don't look up, they can't tell if anyone is coming. As soon as he looked over the shoulders of several people, Lin Sanjiu immediately saw an elevator with its door opened on the wall, but several people had not yet entered.

"Bohemia," she shouted, and rushed over: "Puppet Master! It's me!"

At this moment, she only felt a light behind her in her peripheral vision - she turned her head hastily and found that the swimming fish had turned back from the stairway, suddenly crossed her side, and rushed straight towards On the left side of the hall, in an empty corner, it slowed down, then disappeared in a flash and disappeared.

...Lin Sanjiu suddenly understood.

She finally glanced back at her companions not far away.

What a clever arrangement.

The only person who spoke had his back to her, so she couldn't tell whether Bohemia's mouth was moving when he spoke; and the people she could see were all standing silently, because Bohemia Ya was small and his eyes were lowered. It wouldn't be surprising if he didn't see someone rushing out of the stairs immediately.

In other words, this is a scene that at first glance, it is difficult to tell whether it is real or a "photo".

Just when she was thinking of this, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net saw Bohemia's hand making gestures again. No matter the angle, speed, or posture, it was exactly the same as before.

Is this the most original cartoon? There were two pictures of continuous movement, and when she flipped through it, it looked as if the characters were moving... She almost lost precious time because of it.

Lin Sanjiu swallowed something hot in her throat, turned around and rushed out to the left side of the empty hall. This time, she had a new towel in her left hand, but her right hand made several "clacks" and was hit by the metal glove. Quickly wrapped up: "Bohemia!"

Sure enough, from the corner of the empty wall, a vague voice belonging to Bohemia came: "How...I heard...where did it come from..."

Lin Sanjiu gritted her teeth and stretched out her hand to throw the towel over the place where the light fish disappeared; when the towel swept across the empty area, it was as if the curtain painted on the wall had been lifted away, and when it suddenly fell and disappeared, it revealed It reveals several people behind the curtain - Bohemia, the former guard, the puppeteer and, of course, herself.

Several people were standing in the elevator. Bohemia had just withdrawn her hand from the button, and the elevator door was gradually closing. When they saw Lin Sanjiu at the door, they were all stunned.
