Doomsday Wonderland

Can't imagine?

These few words called Lin Sanjiu's body shivering with numbness; if she didn't suppress it, she was really afraid that her skin would be blown up and dissipated layer by layer. She couldn't help but look back, the concrete space in front of her was silent, clumsy and empty, without the slightest obstruction.

Just moving forward, what kind of imagination does it take?

Even if he doesn't know how to leave the dungeon, at least for the current part of the road, as long as he keeps moving forward—

She gasped suddenly.

The reason why Kiyokuyu suddenly leaned against the wall, the reason why he took a few steps with such difficulty, and the reason why he fell to the ground...all of a sudden had the answer.

The reason is obvious.

"You... don't know how to 'go'?" Lin Sanjiu asked in a low voice, sitting beside him. She could feel that the eyes of the people behind her were dignifiedly pressing on the heads of the two of them.

Kiyotaka lowered his head and seemed to freeze for a while. After a few seconds, he nodded indiscernibly.

Lin Sanjiu found that she couldn't dig out any words from her chest.

She recalled the analogy that Kiyoji made when he stayed in the restaurant; if a person can't think of how to put a piece of clothing on his body anyway, then he has lost the ability to "put on clothes"... Is it the same logic , can it also be used in such a basic function as "walking"?

"It doesn't matter if you can't walk, there are many ways to get around..." Yuan Xiangxi opened his mouth with a little hesitation, and as he spoke, his voice gradually decreased. He is also a smart and smart person, and he must have realized that the seriousness of the problem is probably far more than the loss of the ability to walk.

What the dungeon wanted was that Kiyotome "couldn't leave the dungeon"—that is, walking was only a small part of it.

In addition to "walking", Kiyotaka must have lost her imagination for other things; it's just that Lin Sanjiu couldn't imagine what it would be, and she didn't have the courage to ask.

He once said that the copy will subtly make employees forget the outside world and stay for a long time; now it seems that the copy can actually increase the force and force people to complete the process in just a few minutes.

When was the copy discovered? Will there be sequelae from Kiyomiku?

"Obviously it's a little bit closer, how could it be all of a sudden..." She murmured, secretly hating herself for not being a few minutes earlier, as long as it was a few more minutes, maybe Qing Jiuruu would have already stepped out the door.

"It's not a problem." Qing Jiuruu shook his head, every word seemed to be falling, slowly falling into some kind of black abyss. "It's been waiting for me to walk through this door... It knows it can't let my meltdown happen in the casino and be seen by everyone."

Lin Sanjiu closed his eyes.

"I'll show you, and you can try to imitate and learn how to walk, okay?" she asked.

"...I can still walk, actually,"

Kiyotaka shook his head again and said slowly, "As long as I look back, the scene of me standing up, walking through the door, and walking back to the casino will naturally appear in my mind. Only when I look ahead My mind is blank. There's nothing, it's like...my brain, my mind, is cut off to a cliff. Thinking a little further...I'm falling into a void where nothing exists. inside."

Dead silence filled the heart-pounding void after his words fell.

Lin Sanjiu suddenly remembered something, turned his head hastily, looked at the puppet master like a life-saving straw, and said in a trembling voice, "Big witch she..."

The puppet master paused, lowered his eyelids in silence, and the bright pink light of dark blue and nearly black flashed slightly.

...The big witch can't do anything either.

"I hate this method of hiding in a corner to manipulate people's minds the most." Yu Yuan's voice was deep, and his anger was obviously unstoppable. "His lost imagination, we can try to save it later, but now, I just want to carry him away, how can this copy take me?"

Having said that, he has already strode to Kiyomiku's side. "We'll figure it out as we go," he said flatly, "but you can't -- no one -- be insulted like that by a copy."

When Yu Yuan said this, he suddenly pulled out the [Federal Flag], raised his hand and threw it at Pina, who was as stunned as a chicken outside the door. A section of her neck stuck in the door; it wasn't until the [Federal Flag] landed on her head that she was startled and gave a small cry, and hurriedly grabbed the flag.

"Activate it," Yu Yuan gave a short command, then he didn't look at Pina again, turned his head and motioned for Lin Sanjiu to join him, preparing to stand up Qingjiu by himself. Qing Jiuyu closed his eyes, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, but shook his head again.

In just a few tens of seconds, he had already shaken his head three times; it was as if... as if he had lost even his imagination for thinking in addition to shaking his head to show that he couldn't.

"Even if you can drag me away now..." Kiyoku said in a hoarse voice, "When it's time to stop, when it's time to pick up the great witch... What can you do? Where is the body of the great witch? , how to bring it, if you can't think of it at all, how can you drag me?"

Yu Yuan resisted his anger and asked back: "If not, what do you say?"

Kiyotaka lowered his head and was silent for a while.

"There's a way..." he whispered.

The puppet master's hand hanging beside him suddenly flexed his fingers a few times, like ripples in a pool of black water stirred up by a subtle sound. As if he was enduring something, he snorted softly, causing Lin Sanjiu to tremble.

Before she could understand what the puppet master meant, she heard Kuyu speak.

"As long as I go back...I will be able to restore...at least part of my thinking ability." He murmured while looking at the floor, "As long as I go back, I think, I should be able to tell you where to get the body of the great witch..."

Could it be that the great witch also realized the method of Kiyukuru at the same time?

Lin Sanjiu didn't know, she couldn't look away from Qing Jiuru's body at this time.

"For me, it may be the same wherever I spend the rest of my life." Kiyotaka raised his head, smiled lightly, and said, "Compared with the apocalyptic world, being drunk in a dungeon is obviously safer and more comfortable. Right?"

Yu Yuan looked back at the puppet master with a dignified expression, as if he wanted to ask him or the great witch; Yuan Xiangxi's row of white teeth was biting on his knuckles, and he seemed to be thinking hard about a solution.

"You don't have much time," Kiyotaka seemed to have made a decision for them. "If I turn around and go back right now, you still have a chance to escape, but if you drag on—"

"Close your eyes,"

Lin Sanjiu gave a cold cry and cut off his words. Everyone was stunned by her words, but at this moment, everything outside of her body became a trance and unreal to Lin Sanjiu; she only remembered one thing, to save Qing Jiuruu from the copy —Apart from this, any other concerns, hesitations, any emotions, are meaningless.

"What?" Kiyotaka looked at her and said, "You—"

Lin Sanjiu folded his hands on his cheeks. Although his voice was soft, he said it more firmly: "Close your eyes."

Qing Jiuliu's eyelashes trembled a few times and slowly closed, covering the pair of eyes that seemed to be hiding the sea of ​​stars.

"You said in the restaurant that you have been forcing yourself all these years, repeatedly imagining leaving the copy, imagining the outside world, as a kind of resistance to the copy." She felt Kiyukuro move slightly, as if she wanted to speak, and took the lead Whispered: "I know, you are no longer able to resist... Then I will come. You pay attention to my voice, you don't think about anything... I will describe the outside world for you.

"When we came in the spaceship, half of the sky was covered with gray clouds, and the other half was blue sky. The blue was very light and faint, as if it would dissipate in one breath and turn into white clouds. The wind blew it and broke it into countless layers of blue, with a little skylight on the tip of the small waves... You remember blue, right? It's blue like ink, transparent blue, greenish blue..."

She put down her hands when she spoke, and a few cards flashed in her palms, which she held tightly.

"In the sky above the endless sea, under the low sky, I once saw a bright white fire, the fire from an explosion of a spaceship, illuminating half of the sky. The person who decided to blow himself up once planted green vegetables on a rooftop, and once carefully picked a snail from a vegetable leaf. Do you remember the snail?"

Kiyotaka closed his eyes tightly, his eyelashes still trembling.

"I met him at the '100,000 World Transfer Dream', all because of the puppet master." Lin Sanjiu said, smiling, and slowly describing the scenery on the sea to him. He listened to: the snow-white seagulls leisurely passing under the blue sky, the evolutionary gliding between the seagulls; the seaside highway is endless; occasionally there are starships and spaceships that have obtained flight permission, slowly rising from the distant horizon, and finally disappeared into the clouds.

She was describing more than just the sea.

"The Karma Museum is such a big world..." she said softly, "Beyond such a big world, there is such an infinite world, an infinite universe. I have many friends, and I want to introduce you to... I want you to experience the way to travel as a star in the conscious starry sky."

Yuan Xiangxi took a low breath behind him.

"Now you can open your eyes," Lin Sanjiu said. "There are not many things for me to play here, but I think this is probably enough to let you regain some imagination..."

When Kiyotome opened his eyes, he found himself sitting on top of the shimmering waves of the sea, with a huge dazzling Milky Way waterfall across the night sky above his head.

In the distance between the starry night and the sea, there is a long coastline; the lights belonging to human beings are like an undulating light network on the mainland, which complements the starry sky.
