Doomsday Wonderland

The music wafting from the depths of the hall, detached and coolly dispersed into the soft lights, making the silence in the hall even cooler. The backs of a few evolutionaries are scattered in the distance, sitting in front of the gambling machine, indifferent to everything outside.

The blood rushed to the skin, and in the low breath, Lin Sanjiu looked back.

Across the green plants, gambling machines, bridges and swimming pools in the hall, she could only see Pan Cui's upper body from a distance.

When the half Pan Cui realized that Lin Sanjiu was walking away from her, the smile fell from her face. At this moment, the expressionless face, like a waterfowl sliding on the lake, was steady. Steady paddling across the green bushes, paddling towards Lin Sanjiu.

Every time Lin Sanjiu turned around, Pan Cui still fell not far behind, biting her tightly, but Lin Sanjiu couldn't move any faster.

Both of them were walking at their maximum speed, and if they accelerated their pace a little more, they would turn into a trot; the warning on the notice board in the hall was still in front of them, and neither of them dared to run, no one dared to shout, and even more so. No one dared to act rashly.

There were only eyes and footsteps that followed and escaped, circling around the hall; the sound of breathing and the rustling of clothes gently stirred the cool air in the casino.

For the first time in Lin Sanjiu's life, he experienced such a quiet, restrained and forbearing pursuit.

Force is not allowed in the hall. If she doesn't want to have another "doubleganger" of her own in the world, she must keep a distance from Pan Cui and not let her run into her. Although a layer of [protective stance] has been covered on her body, if Pan Cui encounters her conscious self, does it count as "encountering"?

What's more, Pan Cuiming knew that she had the ability to protect herself. When she just opened the [Protection Field], the white light on her body flickered slightly, which must not have escaped Pan Cui's eyes staring at her tightly and hungry.

However, when Pan Cui saw it, she was unmoved and was still striding towards her. Does it mean that... [Protection Field] is not an obstacle at all?

Lin Sanjiu didn't have an answer, and didn't dare to take the risk.

Every time she stepped down, the vibration from the ground to the muscles and the nerves seemed to stir her mind once - she had too many questions in her mind, and the constant circling and whistling almost made her feel Feeling dizzy.

Why be yourself? Could it be that Pan Cui is not the first time to clear the customs... So I know that in the terminal casino, you can exchange [Doppelg??nger]?

Wait, if it's not her first time at this casino, then she must have a clue about the terrain—

Lin Sanjiu was shocked, and when he hurriedly turned his head again, he found that there was only a quiet and peaceful hall behind him; beside the swimming pool, in the shade of greenery, there was no shadow of Pan Cui anywhere.

The alarm bell in her mind was so sharp that it was suffocating; she dared not continue to move forward, she hurriedly stopped, swept around, twisted herself and threw herself into an empty aisle next to her - just The aisle extends in all directions and is connected to each other. It is empty at the moment, but there is no telling where a person will be thrown from the next moment.

Lin Sanjiu only felt that it was not safe in either direction, and stopped for a while, not knowing where to go.

"Take out something that will automatically attack, does it count as 'use of force'?" Teacher Yi was so anxious that he was about to bite his tongue, and couldn't help but say, "Use a painter, use human form, or spread [Ghost Painting] on the ground... No, I'm afraid [Ghost Painting] won't work. What exactly is the casino punishment? Always choose the lesser of two evils!"

She carefully leaned her back against the wall, so that, in at least one direction, she didn't have to worry about Pan Cui.

With his back against the wall, he turned on the [consciousness scan], and Lin Sanjiu walked forward cautiously and slowly. The current situation is undoubtedly the worst; she can't leave the finish casino, she can't defend herself by force, and she can't even use Jia Jiatian again - unless she wants to join immediately.

The environment in which Pan Cui was ready to start was indeed the most perfect hunting ground.

What should I do?

As she walked, she glanced at every nearby corner; unknowingly, she approached the place where she and Pina broke up again. When Lin Sanjiu reacted, she couldn't help but feel refreshed, turned a corner quickly, and then her heart thumped up - great, Pina is still there!

Although Pina couldn't completely guarantee that she wouldn't be bumped into, at least one more helper and a pair of eyes would be better than if she was alone in guarding against the dark. It's just that this is too unbelievable, and Pan Cui has always been a trustworthy companion; it is not easy to convince Pina that the other party is dangerous.

"Pina," Lin Sanjiu whispered, and hurried up to meet him: "Are you still here?"

Pina raised her head abruptly and seemed to be taken aback: "Ah, because there are so many things that can be exchanged... What's the matter? Your face is not very good."

"It's alright, you'll be fine." Lin Sanjiu smiled, and after seeing his companion, he felt a little more confident in his heart. "I have something to tell you about Pan Cui..."

When she said this, she was still three or four steps away from Pina who was sitting on the ground; Pina was looking up at her, as if waiting for Lin Sanjiu to continue speaking.

Lin Sanjiu didn't know what triggered her intuition: was it the hot anticipation flashing in Pina's eyes? Or when she swept her head down, she accidentally found the line of text projected on the ground - "Welcome to the prize exchange"?

Pina said that she had been looking at the redeemable prizes, but there was no prize list displayed on the floor, only the initial welcome page... It was as if Pina had just sat down.

Lin Sanjiu stopped abruptly, stared at Pina without blinking, and took a slow step back.

Pina paused, then suddenly sighed.

She seemed to understand that there was no point in continuing to play stupid.

"Thanks to me, I even wore a ponytail. I think this should be her signature feature... It made my scalp hurt." She pointed to the hair behind her head and stood up. "Why is your luck always so good? You can always detect something wrong one step ahead? Obviously I'm about to succeed twice."

"Why?" Lin Sanjiu took another step back—she was doing everything possible to increase the distance between herself and the other party. "What's the benefit of you doing this?"

When "Pina" apologized, she looked sincere.

"I'm sorry," she said, taking a step forward. "But I just can't tell you this."

Lin Sanjiu hurriedly took another step back. "Where's Pina?"

"I went to the restaurant for dinner." Pan Cui smiled, tilted her head, and asked, "Why don't you let me touch it? It's just a touch. What does it mean to you? Just do me a favor, okay? ? If you have read the item description of [Doppelg??nger], you will know that it is completely harmless to you..."

Lin Sanjiu didn't listen to her finish, and when she was fascinated by what she said, she seized the opportunity to turn around and ran—of course, she still remembered that she couldn't really run; The maximum speed achieved.

"However, you're still too close... I'll run into you soon."

Pan Cui said in a low voice behind him, as if sighing—but her voice seemed to be rapidly moving away from Lin Sanjiu.

what happened?

Lin Sanjiu quickly cast a glance behind him, and found that Pan Cui didn't catch up, but turned her head and walked in the other direction - at that moment, Lin Sanjiu almost stopped in the brief confusion.

"Oops," Teacher Yi, who has been maintaining the [consciousness scan], reacted first, and hurriedly shouted: "The road over there is the same, she should be cutting your way from the front!"

Should you turn around and step back? But at this moment Pan Cui has not gone far. If she retreats, Pan Cui only needs to turn back and kill a carbine, and Lin Sanjiu will still be cut off by her.

"What should I do?" Teacher Yi asked.

During the chase just now, Lin Sanjiu had unknowingly arrived at the end of the casino lobby; she looked around and found that there were not many directions she could go.

"The VIP room," she whispered inwardly, "it's only there."

If she retreats into the hall now, and there are densely web-like roads in the direction she goes back, she is likely to accidentally bump into the hands of Pan Cui, who is more familiar with the terrain than she is. That is to say, she can only go left and right Just go both ways.

She didn't exchange the hotel room card, and even if she ran to the door of the hotel building on the right wing of the lobby, she couldn't get in. But no matter how VIP the VIP room is, it is also a place for evolutionaries to gamble; the dungeon will never refuse his request to enter the door, right?

Lin Sanjiu has never entered the VIP room of any casino, and she doesn't know what kind of games are inside, but no matter what it is, she has already thought about it: as soon as she enters, she will immediately lock the door—she doesn't know Why did Pan Cui have to become herself, but she couldn't stand another person walking in this world with her own appearance and her own identity.

"guest,"

When she strode into the VIP room on the left wing of the casino, a copy employee in the reception hall immediately greeted her and said with a smile, "Do you need to enter the room, or do you need a mortgage loan?"

Yes, she almost forgot, the mortgage loan is also here - Lin Sanjiu hurriedly threw a look back from her shoulder, and found that Pan Cui had ignored the rules of the casino and rushed over in small steps; it seemed that she also realized When they arrive, Lin Sanjiu must not be allowed to enter the room.

"Enter the room," Lin Sanjiu said quickly, pointing to the outside of the reception hall and saying, "Look, she committed a foul!"

"Well, there's still a little distance from the foul..." The receptionist looked at Pan Cui, who was getting closer and closer, and said.

"She wants a mortgage loan!" Lin Sanjiu immediately changed his words, "You'll know if you stop her and ask."

When the receptionist was distracted, she turned around and left—this time, she also quickened her pace to run, and in a matter of seconds, she rushed into the corridor lined with doors in front of her.

The first few doors were closed tightly, with a sign "in use" hanging, and no sound could be heard behind the door. The corridor was silent and straight, with no stairs and no corners, and reached its end a few dozen meters away.

She may have made a mistake.

If she can't enter any of the VIP rooms, she will be in a dead end. She will be blocked by Pan Cui who follows closely in this corridor without a fork in the road. Whether it is fighting or escaping, I am afraid that she will eventually be blocked by the back. encounter oneself.

Lin Sanjiu's rapid breathing fluttered in the silent air, as if the heat in her heart distorted her vision and colors. From the reception hall at the back, Pan Cui's voice was faintly heard: "I don't want to borrow...you step aside..."

An empty room, as long as an empty room is enough.

Lin Sanjiu couldn't care about the speed limit, let go of his footsteps, and rushed into the depths of the corridor. Finally, there was no way out. After passing through many rooms, she rushed into the first room with a half-open door and no listing.

After a quick glance, she only felt that the room seemed to be larger than she had expected; a dealer in the corner was startled, as if he did not expect someone to break in suddenly.

Before Lin Sanjiu could speak, he hurriedly turned around, reached out and slammed the door shut—but before the door was fully closed, a force from outside slammed the door open again.

Pan Cui, who had regained her original appearance at some point, stood at the door with one hand against the door.

The one who spoke first was Pan Cui.

"please,"

Pan Cui said softly, her eyes unexpectedly sincere. "Just let me touch it. I know this must be very uncomfortable for you... But you don't know what kind of torment and anxiety I'm living in... Even if it's only for one day, I I want to be like you too, and I want to be illuminated by the light. Just think you're saving me, saving me from the longing that tormented me, okay?"

"Rescue?" Lin Sanjiu was stunned and murmured, "I don't understand... what is tormenting you? Why do you have to be like me in order to be saved?"

She didn't expect that the person who answered her question was the humble dealer in the corner.

"Can I add a word?"

A familiar, long-lost voice that belonged to Qing Jiuliu suddenly sounded from behind, rustling into the air. "I seem to understand...why she wants to be like you."
