Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1129 The Torrent of Time

The main force of the interrogation, of course, can only be Bohemia.

The big pink-haired boy eagerly dragged the two old people together—during this process, they tried to release an evolutionary ability at her, but unfortunately, the old age was seriously weakened, and it seemed like a blow to Bohemia. Like a gust of wind, no matter what effect it had, it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

This attack seemed to have exhausted all their strength, and then they were tossed and fiddled with by Bohemia, and the two of them hung their heads and remained silent.

Bohemia was beaten, and not politely; she found a stick, swung it back and forth between the sagging, wrinkled faces, and asked, "Hey! Can you hear me?"

They became sexless in the blink of an eye, and their faces became more skewed. It was hard to believe that the same species could change so much.One of them smacked his toothless mouth and mumbled, "I'm just old... My ears are fine."

Another old man, Lin Sanjiu, heard the words, and couldn't help feeling a little envious.Her ears are not working well, and sometimes she needs the teacher to repeat it in her mind to understand what others have said.

"Wait," she tremblingly raised a hand, "I have one thing that feels strange... Where are the other ants?"

Logically speaking, the ant queen was knocked down, shouldn't those ants rush back to save her?But the jungle was quiet and quiet, except for the heavy humming that the queen ant struggled from time to time, there was no sign of other ants.

The other old man let out a mocking breath, blowing his baggy lips.Judging by the remaining thinning hair length, it appears to be female.

"Do you think..." she said slowly, "that this is the only lair?"

Bohemia was taken aback, and suddenly squatted down beside her: "What do you mean?"

"To fight against so many mushroom cities...we need... more than one ant queen." She spoke quite clearly, "When this ant queen falls...we and other worker ants will go to other nests... "

She smiled vigorously, and said in a low voice: "At that time, the person who destroyed the last ant nest will become the enemy of all ants..."

"I'm afraid of you?" Bohemia snorted, and pricked her a few times with a branch: "If you have the ability, you can let them come now, and bring their special items together."

As soon as Lin Sanjiu was reminded by her, she took out the pack of cigarettes from her trouser pocket, and with trembling fingers, she failed to hold it, and let it fall to the ground with a "click": "Here."

She already has enough items, out of the eight items obtained from the dungeon of swimming in the lake, there are still five unused - of course, if her [Flat World] can be retrieved smoothly.

Bohemia's eyes lit up, she reached out to grab it, muttered "It's a pity it's not silver", and then put it in her pocket unceremoniously: "Yes, you also know that the crow feeds back!"

This word seemed to be used in the wrong place, but Lin Sanjiu didn't have the strength to point it out.

"Stop talking so much nonsense," Bohemia refocused on the two old men, "Tell me, why don't the evolutionaries teleport anymore after they join you and the mushrooms?"

The two old men lowered their heads, and someone breathed out from their nostrils.

"No, that's not right," Bohemia suddenly remembered something, and corrected herself: "It's not just about stopping the teleportation. You seem to be able to teleport as you like... I remember that the Mushroom City often sends people to the Twelve Realms Propaganda. What the hell is going on? How did you do it?"

"Ah," the woman opened her mouth, and the place where the front teeth used to be was black. "It's not something we're responsible for..."

"Bullshit!" Bohemia was already on the verge of losing patience, "Which of you two was originally an evolutionary?"

"Me." The other man said dying, with a cooperative attitude - Lin Sanjiu could understand why.When a person has become like them, he will let go of his attachments to many things; it is not because he can see things openly, but because he is too tired.The feeling of exhaustion when life is about to dry up makes people unable to arouse the slightest interest in resistance, and just wants to wait for the absolute darkness to strike.

"How did you stop teleporting?" Bohemia asked again: "Don't say you don't know how they did it, at least you know what happened to yourself?"

After the old man told the experience intermittently and vaguely, both Lin Sanjiu and Bohemia were stunned.When they came back to their senses, the two couldn't help but looked at each other.

If it wasn't for the belief that he had long since lost the strength to lie, they might all have thought the old man was teasing them.

No matter what the puppeteer was planning, it was impossible for him to find the answer he was looking for in these words—no, wait——Lin Sanjiu suddenly became agitated, feeling that he had faintly noticed something crucial.

He wouldn't have-

She repeated the words of the old man twice in her mind, and asked in a low voice: "You said...when the 14 months are coming to an end, you will be taken along by someone and keep going all the way?"

The old man breathed out an "ah" from under his loose lips as affirmation.

"Go to a certain point, come back again...will not be teleported for the next 14 months?"

This time, he didn't even bother to breathe, but he didn't mean to deny it.

In the past few days, the puppeteer has also been moving forward.This couldn't possibly be a mere coincidence - but is the key to stopping the teleportation just "keep going"?How is this possible?
"I see."

These four cool words landed on her shoulders like shattered ice, making her tremble, only to realize that the puppeteer was standing behind her at some point.Turning her head with difficulty, she saw that the toes of a pair of black leather boots were facing her back, and the thick leather was tightly wrapped around the master's legs. Before she could raise her head to speak, the puppeteer spoke calmly: "...Roasting your eyeballs doesn't count as killing you."

Elderly Lin Sanjiu turned her head in a calm manner.

If you want to get a routine from the puppeteer, perseverance and acceptance are equally important.

After hesitating for a while between fear and curiosity, Bohemia plucked up the courage and asked in a low voice: "That... my lord, he only said to go straight, and didn't say anything else, and he didn't say where to go."

"I know."

Bohemia swallowed back her courage.

Lin Sanjiu glanced at the huge, motionless shadow in the distance from the corner of her eye, wondering if the queen ant was dead—she could have dealt with the queen ant and her subordinates by herself, but because the puppeteer After waiting impatiently, not only was he stabbed horizontally, but she was also beaten together with Ant-Man, and now she was so old that she could only sit on the ground panting, which really made her very unhappy.

"'From big to small'?" She didn't forget to ask, "What did the big witch say?"

"Unqualified, can't be used." The puppeteer actually answered the question directly.While speaking, he took a few steps in the direction of Bohemia, as if he was suppressing his great anger, and he obviously didn't want to continue this topic anymore.

"So... do you understand what this 'going straight' is all about?" Lin Sanjiu asked carefully.

The puppeteer didn't speak.The creaking leather sound passed between the two of them; the cold, almost strong aroma rushed past Lin Sanjiu, followed his footsteps, and stopped in front of the two old men.

"The torrent of time...is non-stop." He clasped his hands, straightened his body, lowered his eyes, and said softly.

What do you mean?
The two old men didn't move, they were still half-sitting and half-lying, leaning against each other, their heads tilted to one side, and their chests rose and fell unobservably.After a few seconds, Lin Sanjiu secretly felt that something was wrong——opening her dim old eyes to take a closer look, she found that the chests of the two men stopped moving, and even quietly stopped breathing.

The baby's crying gradually weakened at some point, and could no longer be heard.Bohemia glanced at the baby who was not far away, her expression turned serious, and she almost jumped up in shock: "He, they..."

The puppeteer remained motionless.

"What's wrong?" Lin Sanjiu asked, his voice was weak and exhausted.

"Not people—" Bohemia seemed to be biting her tongue, "Those babies, not people—"

What is not human?
"They were deformed, they couldn't see the human form, and they were curled up together," her description ability was obviously average, and she couldn't understand by gesticulating with her hands: "They are much smaller, some have grown tails, and they are still shrinking... ..."

"You two are lucky." The puppeteer turned his head slightly, his disgust and sarcasm were thick enough: "Why, do you think [The Torrent of Time] is to make people smaller or older? Such things are also worthy Let me call it precious?"

Lin Sanjiu had a lot of questions to ask—but I don't know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to be older and weaker than before.

"[The torrent of time] is time that is disordered, but it is still time." The puppeteer smiled slowly, "It will bring a person to the end of the life cycle first...whether it is the end at the beginning, Or the end that is near the end, and then time will resume its normal speed and flow slowly on you...until your life is gone."

That is to say—all those babies regressed to the appearance of embryos?Lin Sanjiu glanced at the two old men in surprise and suspicion, and understood why they died suddenly; the puppeteer didn't do anything at all, because their life cycle had come to an end.

"I..." Bohemia touched her face in a daze.At that moment, there was only paleness on that young and airy face: "I... died at this age last time?"

"Probably so," the puppeteer rarely looked her straight in the eyes, "Your five stages of life are quite interesting."

"We...could it be..." Lin San was so hoarse that he couldn't speak after drinking.

"It depends on whether your death date comes first, or the effect disappears first." The puppeteer's tone was calm, "When I used the item, I didn't go after you, and I didn't even think about you. This is not considered a breach of the precept, It would be a pleasant surprise if you died as a result of this. By the way, do you know how I got [Torrent of Time]?"

Does it matter?

"During the time you were lying on the ground pretending to be dead, I was already teleported away." The puppeteer said softly.
