Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1245 Lin Sanjiu's Epiphany
One, two, three, four... four people, no more, no less, are all deities.

Finally reached the last step.

Lin Sanjiu withdrew his gaze, let out a long breath, slid down the car wall, sat on the ground and watched the elevator doors begin to close.The uneven elevator doors on both sides rattled, gradually reducing the bloody and red scene outside into a narrowing gap until it could no longer be seen.

For a moment, the elevator was silent, only the low sound of the machine running.Neither Bohemia nor the former guard dared to speak, and of course the puppeteer would not take the initiative to chat; Lin Sanjiu thought for a while alone, 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, and when I rushed back to the hall, the light fish swam back again. If it wasn't for it, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find you so quickly." She said to Bohemia asked, "What happened to the fish?"

Bohemia was taken aback when she heard the words, and subconsciously glanced at the former guard.The latter shrugged 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 her head: "At that time, I found that the handrail of the stairs came to the end, and I felt that the stairs should also come to the end soon. He said to me that he hoped that I could send a light fish back and swim the back stairs quickly... I asked him why, and he said, in case someone followed behind, maybe they You will think that you have been discovered, and you will stop and look at the situation to deter potential threats. Oh, by the way, I was a little surprised that you didn't speak at that time, because you always have something to say."

... Between the two of them, who is the one who always has something to say?
Lin Sanjiu glanced at Bohemia, and the latter continued without realizing it: "I didn't expect that this kid's proposal would actually help you. You know, I was reluctant at the time, because I—oh, you remember I said that my fish are not unlimited, right? Before I got to the hall, the light stored in two fish was used up, and there were only two fish left for lighting. Is it darker?"

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

She seems to understand where the little man got the idea—it has to be said, even if the man's mind is on the verge of madness, his brain is turning fast enough, just acting on the spot and playing on the spot, almost calling them A group of people fell into it.She looked at the puppeteer, and sighed: "...Does it feel like everything is dark in front of you as soon as you enter the hall?"

After two seconds, the puppeteer let out a "huh".

Both Bohemia and the former guard had amazement across their faces, but neither of them dared to say "Oh!".

Lin Sanjiu rubbed his temples, and he could clearly reproduce that scene in his mind: Without her, these two people could not breathe in front of the puppeteer. When they found the hall was bright, Even if they were killed, they wouldn't think of gossiping with the puppeteer, "Hey, there's finally a light here".

Along the way, the light fish became darker and darker, until suddenly it was completely dark when entering the hall. It was really hard to think that the problem was actually in my eyes-to be honest, even if the hall was originally dark, it was not unreasonable; think When I think about it, the scene where the puppeteer asks "Have you run out of light fish?" is even more strange.

If this trick goes wrong, what will the skinny man do next?
"Didn't you...didn't expect to come out with a lamp?" Lin Sanjiu raised his head and asked.

The puppeteer was very ironic this time: "It's amazing, you can think of turning on the light when there is no light. How long did you think about it before you came to this epiphany?"

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

Bohemia's expression seemed to have been hollowed out suddenly.

If holding the lamp has always been the doll's job, then the light should also be on the doll's body... No wonder he didn't take out lighting props when he saw the light fish getting darker and darker along the way.Lin Sanjiu stood up, dragged Bohemia behind her, and shook her head: "That's not okay."

The puppeteer's irritability at that moment could turn into reality and drown them—fortunately, he turned his head away immediately, as if he was afraid that his eyeballs would bleed if he looked at her for a long time.

When the elevator was slowly ascending, there was not even a single number on the screen, only an upward arrow constantly refreshing.After lingering in silence for a while, Lin Sanjiu tried to relax the atmosphere, and said, "Speaking of which, I just can't figure out why I can't feel the door being pushed open... Could it be that he was already in the stairway? "

"Impossible." Bohemia stood behind her for a while, and her courage recovered a bit: "I walked in the front, and I was always afraid that there would be something hidden in the dark ahead, so I was always careful."

That man is so skinny that it makes people panic. If he presses his back against the wall, covers his body with a false image, and walks sideways from Bohemia... No, then he has to pass by the puppet teacher's side.Thinking of this, Lin Sanjiu felt that he had run into a dead end again.Even if his ability was undetectable when activated, the thin man was not capable of walking past the puppeteer without being noticed.It was one thing to hide in the corner of the elevator and quite another to pass him by.

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

"Oh...huh?"

"...You found out a step too late." He seemed to be talking to the great witch in his mind, but he said out his voice: "It's a complete book of stupid things to dry her up."

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

"Say you're stupid."

"No! Besides that, what else did she say?"

The puppeteer, who turned his back to her, happily stopped talking.

... She couldn't believe she couldn't figure it out by herself.

Now it is basically impossible to rely on the puppeteer to deliver the message; Lin Sanjiu simply replayed the whole process of pinching the line of consciousness.Everything is very simple and clear: every step up, she will reduce the width of the consciousness "line" and increase the length, until this consciousness is too long, she will add a second "line". Awareness.She was always cautious enough, even after Bohemia found the body and the whole team stopped, when she squeezed to the front of the team, she didn't forget to keep pulling the line——

"Ah!" Lin Sanjiu's mind lit up and he called out.

"The toilet is clear." The puppeteer commented.

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

"Why?" The latter was not very interested: "It really is because of you, right?"

"When I squeezed to the front of the line, I lengthened my consciousness accordingly. When I returned to the end of the line after checking the corpse, I didn't reduce the length of my consciousness. For example, if This is a circle of rope that I put down as I walked, and at this time it is hanging down because it is too long..."

"I see." Bohemia waved her hand and interrupted her: "I understand consciousness better than you, so you don't need to use analogies!"

Lin Sanjiu finally figured it out suddenly, but he couldn't finish the sentence, so he couldn't help feeling a little unfinished.

The "rope" of consciousness that should have been holding the door tightly, after increasing its length and the owner turned back for a certain distance, will relax because it is too long.Because of the increased distance between the three of them, the length of the slack hanging was nearly ten meters; at this time, if the door of the stairway was opened by someone, she would naturally not feel any vibration in her consciousness—— This explanation was tickling in her heart, but she looked around and found that the only former guard who could be her audience was staring at his own pendant, and seemed to have no interest in her theory.

"The Great Witch said," the puppeteer said slowly, "Your consciousness is as sensitive as hemp rope."

"Who told her to use her consciousness like a brick?" Bohemia didn't know whether she was echoing or explaining, "When the strength goes up, the sensitivity goes down."

This discussion about her consciousness, Lin Sanjiu only listened to half of it absent-mindedly, and the rest was blown away like the wind.She found herself glancing at the former guard—she hadn't paid much attention to him since Dawei Xing reminded her, but he was always honest, didn't do anything he shouldn't do, and even helped them several times.

However, at this moment, she suddenly and strongly felt Wei Xing's feeling: this person's mental state might really be not quite right.

With a sound of "ding", the elevator stopped.

The former guard raised his head, and the smile on his face couldn't be suppressed: "We can finally go out!"

　The thank you list will be released tomorrow, I really don’t have enough time today...
