Doomsday Wonderland

By the time night fell, Yuan Xiangxi had not returned yet.

As time passed, Lin Sanjiu felt as if there were a bunch of rats in her chest, constantly gnawing at her and making her restless. She looked down the hillside again and again, but the dark grass and trees were always there. Peaceful and silent, oblivious to her anxiety.

She felt that her guess was correct: Li Bao made a copy of J7 and let it enter the play dungeon. She also told Yuan Xiangxi about the great witch, misleading the latter into thinking that she had to stay... But Isn't this just a way to divert Yuan Xiangxi? He hasn't come out for so long. Could it be that he is really trapped in the copy?

When she looked away from the woods again, Ji Shanqing asked softly: "Sister, do you want to find someone?"

Lin Sanjiu was startled.

"No," she hesitated for a while, and finally said: "I don't want to find anyone... I just want to confirm the safety of a friend. Shall we go together? After I know whether he is okay, the two of us will come back. I can let him go...to find J7 first."

With a soft nasal "hmm", Ji Shanqing put his cool hand into Lin Sanjiu's palm.

They climbed over the fence and walked deeper and deeper into the dark woods. Now Lin Sanjiu had no lighting left, so she could only walk forward in the dark; she was afraid that the gift bag would stumble and fall, so she let go and led the way, with the gift bag holding on to the corner of her clothes. Behind.

...It's hard to imagine that the two of them had a time when they couldn't stop talking.

She remembered that there were many nights in the past when they were lucky enough to find a safe place to stay, and after they had eaten and drank enough, they fell on the bed and chatted quietly. Even though they spent every day together, the two of them still chatted and couldn't bear to go to bed - several times they saw that the sky was getting dark, and she pressed Libao's head into the pillow and said, "Go to sleep!" ".

Now, they walked in the dark for nearly ten minutes, exchanging only a few words such as "be careful" and "there are rocks here".

As Lin Sanjiu groped forward in the darkness, she occasionally thought of Ji Shanqing's metaphor. Sometimes she would suddenly have a feeling, as if the shadow of a huge silent beast was really following behind her; starting from behind, every hair, every inch of her skin, and every bit of her mind would be covered. Thread after thread, she was sucked into the abyss behind her until she completely disappeared.

…Why is there such a change?

In the distance, she saw a blurry wheat field and a dark pond. After crossing the pond, there was a copy of the house; she turned around and said "Almost there" to the gift bag, and her feet speeded up.

She originally thought that the last conversation in the consciousness starry sky had made Ji Shanqing feel at ease... Could it be that she didn't convey it enough? He doesn't need to worry at all that she will leave or forget him; what should be his will always be his, without conditions.

"Do you still remember what I told you last time?" Lin Sanjiu thought about it for a while and then suddenly spoke.

The gift bag said "hmm" again, as if a little aggrieved.

"How could I not remember," he whispered after a while, "and I know that every word my sister said at that time was true. I am really happy..."

The tight breath in Lin Sanjiu's chest gradually relaxed with his voice - until the gift bag suddenly whispered: "...Sister, you have removed the thing that has been pressing me down."

She felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her. Before she could understand her thoughts, her body trembled subconsciously. She didn't know why she was trembling for a moment, so she could only continue to move forward step by step. As if this sentence means nothing.

What's been holding him back?

In the misty moonlit night, the wooden hut stood dimly in the distance. There seemed to be no shadow of Yuan Xiangxi in front of the house, and there were only a few long cicada chirps nearby, which echoed and dispersed. Its appearance at night began to make Lin Sanjiu understand why Bohemia had been afraid of this copy - and so on.

She suddenly paused and wanted to look back at Ji Shanqing, but immediately held back.

Yes, if there is any difference between his attitude this time and before, it is that when he appeared this time, he was not afraid at all.

In the past, he was always careful and cautious about gift packages, because no matter whether he turned into a data body or not, there was always something that scared him - he was afraid of Lin Sanjiu's anger and worried about her reaction, so he suppressed whatever thoughts he had. Go down...

The more Lin Sanjiu walked towards the house, the more she felt as if every step she took was walking in nothingness, wandering and unable to find the ground. This time, the gift package is not scary. Because she promised him last time that he would never lose her... Rather than removing something that was holding him down, it would be better to say that she removed something that was binding him. Things he didn't dare to do before, he dared to do now.

"Yuan Xiangxi!"

As if waves of cold waves were constantly lapping at her, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but run towards the house, shouting: "Are you here?"

Her speed was very fast, and she rushed to the door of the play house in almost the blink of an eye - she knew she couldn't rush in at once, so she stopped in a hurry. Because she was afraid that the copy would be activated, she could only shout "Yuan Xiangxi" again and again; but after calling several times, the only response she received was the distant chirping of night birds.

"He won't really be kept by the copy, right?" Lin Sanjiu turned around, looked at Ji Shanqing who was standing not far behind him, and asked, "You know who I'm talking about, right?"

The night was hazy over the wheat fields and distant mountains, and the moonlight was like a brush gently wiping over Ji Shanqing's forehead, cheekbones and cheeks. For a moment, it was impossible to tell where his pale skin was and where his skin was. The light moonlight; only his expression blended into the dark night, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Sister," he whispered, pleading, "I only have this little time..."

"……how long?"

"Two months," Ji Shanqing lowered his head, like a child being scolded: "Sister, I only have two months..."

"Then Yuan Xiangxi..." Lin Sanjiu's eyes didn't know where to turn, scanning the surroundings over and over again: "Is he okay?"

"Don't he want to go to the Karma Museum?" Ji Shanqing took two steps forward gently and held her hand. "You will find him there."

Lin Sanjiu was stunned and quiet for a while.

Yuan Xiangxi is a dead person and cannot be teleported with a visa, but this should not be a big problem for the gift package... Just let a teleporter catch him. But, when did he disappear? Does he know what happened?

She stood there, turning over and over in her mind for a while, all of which was a sudden thought that came out of nowhere: She rejected Ji Shanqing's visa because she subconsciously felt that the visa officer hired by the puppet master was better. Now think about it again, where did the visa officer that the puppet master found come from?

Lin Sanjiu took a long breath and simply sat on the porch steps. The door of the house behind was still half open like it was this afternoon, revealing the dark interior without lights.

"Sister?" Li Bao moved closer to her.

She raised her head, looked at the extremely familiar person in front of her, and asked softly: "What about me? Where will I be teleported to?"

"You can go wherever you want," Ji Shanqing sat down at her feet and looked up at her like a puppy: "Where do you want to go, sister?"

Lin Sanjiu pursed her lips and said nothing.

One of them sat on the steps, one sat at the feet of the other, neither of them making a sound in the cool night. After a while, Libao whispered: "Sister, I will pass your words to Yu Yuan."

"He - what did he say?" She didn't expect that the gift bag would be picked up first, and she couldn't help being surprised.

"He will come to you."

Yu Yuan? Yu Yuan who has become a data body?

...That's right, isn't the gift bag sitting right in front of me? What will happen when you meet Yu Yuan?

Lin Sanjiu's mind was in a tangle of thoughts for a moment, and there were many things tugging on her mind; it seemed that she was thinking about countless things, UU Reading www. uukansｈhu.netｔ It seems that he has nothing to think about and can only let his mind wander in the void.

While she was distracted, someone tapped her right shoulder lightly.

The hair all over Lin Sanjiu's body exploded, she twisted her body violently, and even the gift bag was shocked - an overly long arm stuck out from the crack of the door at some point, and its fingers were hovering over her right shoulder. Looking along the arm, she saw the long shoulders, collarbones... all the way into the darkness, except for the neck and head.

"What is it?" She jumped up and subconsciously blocked the gift bag behind her, calling out [Tornado Whip] in her hand.

Ji Shanqing poked his head out from behind her shoulder, and as soon as his eyes fell on the muscular arm, the arm suddenly shook slightly - then, it waved its hand in mid-air, and lifted the back of the hand upwards and outwards a few times, As if signaling them to leave quickly, he retreated back into the house silently.

"Probably to remind us not to sit here and chat without entering the dungeon?" Li Bao guessed with a smile. He tilted his head and whispered in Lin Sanjiu's ear: "Where do you want to go in the next two months?"

As long as they are far away, Bohemia and the Puppet Master will probably not be in any danger; whether they will be able to come back in the short term is another matter. Lin Sanjiu closed her eyes and sighed slowly.

"... Wherever you want to go and what you want to do, let's go together and do it together. But before I go, I have a question."

"What?"

"What if it's Qing Jiuliu?" Lin Sanjiu's words seemed to have no beginning or end, but she knew that Libao would understand.

Ji Shanqing reached out and grabbed her hand, his smile was like a warm and cool wind. "Sister," he shook his head as if she had asked something stupid.
