Doomsday Wonderland

One, two, three, four... four people, no more, no less, are all deities.

Finally reached the last step.

Lin Sanjiu averted her eyes, took a deep breath, slid down the car wall, sat on the ground and watched the elevator door begin to close. The uneven elevator doors on both sides clicked, gradually reducing the bloody scene outside to a narrowing gap until it could no longer be seen.

For a while, the elevator was quiet, with only the low sound of machinery running. Neither Bohemia nor the former guard dared to speak, and the puppet master certainly would not take the initiative to chat. Lin Sanjiu thought about it alone for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt.

"When I was alone in the stairway, one of your light fish swam back. When I rushed back to the hall, the light fish swam back again. If it hadn't been for it, I might not have been able to find you so quickly." She said towards her. Bohemia asked, "What happened to the fish?"

Bohemia was startled when she heard this, and subconsciously glanced at the former guard. The latter raised his shoulders and smiled, as if he was a little embarrassed.

"I didn't expect you to be useful." Before answering Lin Sanjiu, she sincerely praised the former guard, and then turned around: "At that time, I found that the handrail of the stairs had reached the end, and I felt that the stairs should be reaching the end soon. . He told me that he hoped I could let a light fish go back and quickly swim around the back stairway... I asked him why at that time, and he said that if there were anyone following, maybe they would I would think that I had been discovered, so I would stop and take a look at the situation, to deter potential threats. Oh, by the way, you didn’t say anything at that time, and I was a little surprised, because you always have something to say.”

...Who is the one who always has something to say between the two of them?

Lin Sanjiu glanced at Bohemia, who continued without realizing it: "I didn't expect that this guy's suggestion actually helped you. You know, I was reluctant at the time, because I - Oh, you remember what I said, my fish are not unlimited, right? Before reaching the hall, the light stored in two fish was used up, and there were only two fish left for lighting. One less would not be enough. Is it darker?”

"There are only two left?" Lin Sanjiu thought for a while and suddenly understood, "In other words, the light is getting darker and darker on your way from the stairs to the hall?"

She seemed to understand where the thin man got the idea from - it had to be said that even though the man was on the verge of madness, his mind was moving fast enough, and he almost caused them to do this just by acting according to circumstances and improvising on the spot. The whole group fell into it. She looked at the puppet master and sighed: "... Did you feel that everything was dark as soon as you entered the hall?"

After two seconds, the puppet master said "hmm".

A look of surprise flashed across the faces of Bohemia and the former guard, but no one dared to say "Oh!".

Lin Sanjiu rubbed her temples and could clearly replay the scene in her mind: without her presence, the two of them would not even be able to breathe in front of the puppet master. When they found that there was light in the hall, Even if they were beaten to death, they would not think of gossiping with the puppeteer like "Hey, there is finally a light here."

The light was getting darker and darker along the way, until it was suddenly completely dark when entering the hall. It was really hard to think that the problem was actually with my eyes - to be honest, even if the hall was originally dark, it was not unreasonable; When I think about it, the scene where the puppet master asks "Have you run out of light fish?" is even weirder.

If this move goes wrong, I wonder what the thin man will do next?

"You...didn't you think of bringing out the lamp at that time?" Lin Sanjiu raised her head and asked.

This time the puppet master was very sarcastic: "It's amazing that you can actually think of turning on the light when there is no light. How long did you think about it before you had this epiphany?"

Lin Sanjiu was choked by him, and when he couldn't find anything to say, he suddenly smiled: "...Lifting the lamp has always been a puppet's job. Since you are so wise and insightful, next time I will ask this woman to hold the lamp for me. .”

Bohemia's look was as if someone had suddenly hollowed out her core.

If it has always been the puppet's job to hold up the lamp, then the lamp should also be on the puppet's body... No wonder he didn't take out the lighting props when he saw the light fish getting darker and darker along the way. Lin Sanjiu stood up, pulled Bohemia behind him, and shook his head: "That won't work."

The puppet master's annoyance at that moment could turn into reality and drown them out - fortunately, he immediately turned his head away, as if he was afraid that his eyes would bleed if he looked at her for too long.

When the elevator slowly rose, there was not even a number on the screen, only an upward arrow that was constantly refreshing. After staying in silence for a while, Lin Sanjiu tried to lighten the atmosphere and said, "Speaking of which, I just can't figure out why I can't feel the door being pushed open...could he have been in the stairway a long time ago? "

"Impossible." Bohemia stood behind her for a while, and her courage recovered a little: "I walk in front, and I am always afraid that there is something hidden in the dark ahead, so I am always careful."

The man was so thin that it made people feel panicked. If he pressed his back against the wall, covered his body with illusion, and walked sideways from Bohemia... No, then he would have to pass the puppet. The teacher's side. When Lin Sanjiu thought of this, she felt that she had hit a dead end again. Even if his ability is invisible when activated, the thin man has no ability to walk past the puppet master without being noticed. It's one thing to hide in the corner of the elevator without moving, but it's another thing entirely to pass him by.

"The great witch said you were stupid." The puppet master, who had been looking at the elevator arrow, suddenly said without looking back.

"Oh...ah?"

"...You found out too late," he seemed to be talking to the great witch in his mind, but he said in a voice: "Having her dry is a collection of stupid words."

Lin Sanjiu could almost complete the conversation automatically. She endured her anger and asked, "What did the great witch say?"

"You're stupid."

"No! Apart from this, what else did she say?"

The puppet master, who had his back turned to her, happily stopped talking.

...She didn't believe she couldn't figure it out on her own.

Now it was basically impossible to expect the puppet master to convey the message; Lin Sanjiu simply replayed the entire process of pinching the line of consciousness. Everything is very simple and clear: every time she goes up a step, she will reduce the width and increase the length of the "line" of consciousness. When this line of consciousness can no longer grow, she will add a second one. consciousness. She was always cautious enough. Even after the body was found in Bohemia and the entire team stopped, she did not forget to pull the line when she squeezed to the front of the team——

"Ah!" Lin Sanjiu's mind lit up and she shouted.

"The toilet is flushed," the puppeteer commented.

Ignoring him, Lin Sanjiu slapped her forehead and sighed to Bohemia: "So that's it!"

"What?" The latter was not very interested: "It's really because of you, right?"

"When I squeezed to the front of the line, I stretched the length of my consciousness accordingly. When I finished checking the corpse and returned to the end of the line, I did not reduce the length of my consciousness. For example, if This is a circle of rope that I put down while walking, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Then at this time it hung down because it was too long..."

"I understand," Bohemia interrupted her with a wave of her hand: "I know more about consciousness than you do, so you don't need to use metaphors!"

Lin Sanjiu finally figured it out, but she couldn't finish her words. She couldn't help but feel a little unfinished.

The "rope" of consciousness that was originally supposed to be holding the door tightly would become too long and loosen up after the owner increased its length and returned a certain distance. Because the distance between the three people was increased, the hanging length was nearly ten meters at least; at this time, if the door of the stairway was pushed open a crack, she would naturally not feel any vibration in her consciousness—— This explanation made her feel itchy in her heart, but when she looked around, she found that the only former guard who could be her audience was staring at his own pendant in trance, and he seemed to be equally uninterested in her theory.

"The great witch said," the puppeteer said slowly, "your consciousness sensitivity is as dull as a hemp rope."

"Who told her to use her consciousness as a brick?" Bohemia didn't know whether to agree or explain, "As the toughness goes up, the sensitivity goes down."

Lin Sanjiu only listened half-heartedly to this discussion about her consciousness, and the other half was blown away like wind in her ears. She found herself glancing at the former guard again and again - she hadn't paid much attention to him since the guard sentence reminded her, but he had always been honest and hadn't done anything he shouldn't have done, and even helped. them several times.

However, at this moment, she suddenly felt strongly about Wei Xing: This person's mental state was probably not quite right.

With a "ding" sound, the elevator stopped.

The former guard raised his head, with a smile that couldn't be suppressed: "We can finally get out!"
