Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1560
Wu Yiliu stared down at the coffee cup in front of him, there was still a little coffee stain on the rim of the cup.

Looking at the brown spots, he felt that his eyelids seemed to be getting shorter and shorter, and soon they would not be able to cover the eye sockets and eyeballs—he knew that his eyes were too wide, abnormally big, and would It was seen that he was afraid, but he couldn't control it at all.

... Liebers is finished too.

The leather sofa chair in the dining room under him became the only solid and reliable thing in the whole world. He sat on that small cushion, and the world outside him was like coffee with milk, the colors mixed like flowing liquid They were tuned together, spinning and sinking, rising and falling, and falling apart... Only the two faces in front of him, which were not faces, were getting closer and closer to him.

"Wuyiliu," the thing that used to wear Libers' face, threw his face on the dining table and asked, "What are you so stunned for?"

Why can he still talk, Wu Yiliu felt that he was on the verge of coma, his mind was confused.If the muscles under the skin were exposed like a model in anatomy class, maybe it would not be strange to be able to talk, but the two of them...the two of them...

"Seafood risotto, all the dishes are served."

The waitress whose face was half-opened in the black hole saved his life at this moment; following this sentence, a steaming heavy plate fell on the table in front of Wu Yiliu, interrupting the conversation on the opposite side. Attention to two things.The dining table was not big, and his plate knocked on Liebers' plate, and there was a loud noise, which made the unrolled face tremble slightly.

They haven't found out that I'm different, they haven't found out that I'm different.

"I, I'm going to wash my hands,"

Clutching this glimmer of hope, Wu Yiliu stood up abruptly, almost knocking over the coffee cup on the table, "Before I eat, one, I must wash my hands..."

"Be careful," Allie reached out to hold the cup on the table in time. The hand was still a human hand, and the buzzing sound was something on the neck.

What the hell is she and how can she talk?Is it because my hallucinations are getting worse? If I reach out to touch their faces on the table now, will I feel the real thing?
Wu Yiliu stumbled towards the direction of the bathroom, startled a passing waiter gasped.If it wasn't for the stubborn and tenacious consciousness in the back of his mind, constantly reminding him to maintain the normality on the surface, he might have knocked over how many people and tables; he opened the bathroom door, saw no one inside, Rushing into the single room of the toilet, he hurriedly locked the door behind him.

From a rational point of view, it is impossible for human beings to take off their faces. How can there be ghosts in the world? This must be something wrong with his spirit.The toilet bowl in Wu Yiliu's field of vision gradually became blurred, he wiped his eyes suddenly, the back of his hand got wet immediately, and his vision became clear again.He knew he was crying, he couldn't control it, not only wanted to cry, but also wanted to vomit——

"You... can you see it too?"

A trembling female voice suddenly rang out in the men's room.

Wu Yiliu trembled all over, hurriedly wiped his face a few times, held his breath and didn't respond.The woman closed the door and walked in, seemingly at a loss, and whispered: "Don't be afraid of me, I... I have been afraid for a long time alone, please, please answer me."

Wu Yiliu gritted his teeth and refused to make a sound.Who knows what is outside, even if he has seen the other person now, and the other person's face is normal, there is no guarantee that she will not take off her face after a while - not to mention, all of this may be caused by his A figment of a schizophrenic brain.

The woman suddenly sobbed, and seemed to be unable to bear it anymore.She opened the door and walked into the single room next to him, and Wu Yiliu quickly moved a few steps in the opposite direction; he lowered his body slightly, and saw a pair of black women's flat leather shoes with bows on the upper.

"I wonder if I'm crazy,"

At least her crying is real.Accompanied by a strong nasal voice, in the sound of constantly sniffing, the woman didn't know whether she was talking to him or expressing herself: "I can't stand it anymore. I could pretend at first in the company, but recently, I My parents, my girlfriends, almost all of them... almost all of their faces have begun to change, and those who haven't changed can't see anything... I can't stand it anymore, I really hope my face will follow suit..."

The door of the men's bathroom was suddenly pushed open, and the woman hurriedly stopped crying.

Both of them held their breath, locked in their own cubicles, and heard a footstep walking into the bathroom and approaching the urinal.When there was a sound of splashing water, Wu Yiliu thought for a while, then quietly opened the door a little, and looked out.

As the man zipped up and went to the sink to wash his hands, his crumbling face was reflected in the mirror.He seemed completely unaware that his entire face was tilted to the side of the ears, where the facial features and the central part of the face should have been, but now there was only a stretched flat human skin.There was a small black hole on the edge of the skin, probably an eye; after looking at himself in the mirror, he walked away as if satisfied.

The woman stopped talking.Through the partition board, Wu Yiliu could vaguely feel the growing fear on the other side—he could imagine the other party's psychological activities: After all, he has not expressed his position, what if he is also the person with a problem on his face?I said so much just now, what should I do if I was exposed to the shapeshifter?
Just as he was thinking of this, he heard a "da" from the next door, and the woman opened the door.Wu Yiliu hastily closed his door, and before he could make up his mind what to do, the woman had already hurried away.

He gave a wry smile.

It seems that what she said just now is true, otherwise she wouldn't be suddenly scared, and wouldn't run away before being seen... What about him?What should he do now?
It's impossible not to go out; but after going out, how should he deal with the two things on the table that used to be Liebers and Allie?What will they do to themselves when they find that their face cannot be removed?
It would be nice if it was a hallucination.

Wu Yiliu leaned against the door in a daze, unable to show any courage in his body.Subconsciously, he was like a child, thinking that as long as he hid for long enough, there would always be a turning point—until a knock on the door made him almost fall in shock, and then there was a ringing sound outside the door. Li Bosi's voice: "Wu Yiliu, are you okay?"

If you don't think about what's peeking out from under his hair, he sounds pretty much the same as ever.Wu Yiliu sat slumped on the toilet seat, his throat seemed to be blocked by someone, and it took him a while to say: "No, it's all right..."

"Then go back quickly," Liebers said, standing close to the door.

Wu Yiliu wiped his cold sweat and tears several times, stood up tremblingly, and opened the door.There were no windows in this bathroom, and he couldn't escape like in the movie; he had no other way to go except to follow Liebes back to the dining room.

Liebers put his face back on.It's not completely fitted, but casually and carelessly hung on the cheekbone, and half of the eye is like a small flag in the wind, swaying back and forth in the air.

Like a death row prisoner, Wu Yiliu was escorted back to the restaurant by Liebers.There were still only a few customers in the restaurant, some were still normal, and some were too scary to look at, but no one had any strange expressions on their faces.

The woman who spoke just now sounded like she was in her 20s; at this moment, there was only one young female customer of this age and normal appearance in the restaurant who was eating by the window.However, when Wu Yiliu walked by, he found that her expression was calm and her eyes were not red. He looked down and found that she was wearing a pair of white sandals.

The young female guest seemed to have noticed his gaze, and turned her head towards him, revealing a face with delicate and clean features.Her eyes flicked across Wu Yiliu's body, and landed on Li Bosi behind him, the center of her face suddenly began to sink, and a dark and deep hole sank in the blink of an eye, there was still some unknown substance in the hole, Criss-cross as if woven.

Wu Yiliu feels like a patient with a high fever now, he can no longer distinguish between hallucinations and reality.

... Is that woman crying in the cubicle real?

When he went back, Ellie was still eating at a leisurely pace—even though he didn't know how she "eat", and didn't dare to look at it at all.Her face was still neatly curled up by the side of the dinner plate.

Wu Yiliu held back the horror in his heart, and slowly sat down on the edge of the chair.He didn't even look at Libers, and as soon as he got close to the chair, he immediately called out to the waitress not far away: "I'll have another cup of hot coffee, make it hotter."

"Aren't you uncomfortable?" Liebers asked, shaking his eyes.

"Coffee refreshes me, I feel better," Wu Yiliu replied with his head down.He was afraid that if he glanced at the two things opposite, he would spit it all on the table, and he didn't even dare to open his mouth when he spoke.Libes let out a "hmm", as if he was thinking about something and didn't speak; at this moment, another person came out from the bathroom in the corner of the room.

It was a young woman, and the woman was wearing a pair of flat black leather shoes.

So she turned around and fled to the women's bathroom?
When the woman was out of her mind, she probably didn't expect so many details to betray herself: she had obviously washed her face with water, but the tip of her nose was still red, and her hair at the temples was also wet, making it even more revealing.

As she brushed past a waiter, the waiter turned sideways to make way for her.Wu Yiliu's heart jumped into her throat almost immediately: She is not an illusion, she really exists!
He had to find a way to escape from Libes immediately, but after escaping, how could he still contact her?Do you want to hide near the restaurant and wait for her to come out?She won't be lying, the way she lowered her head and didn't dare to look anywhere is simply a copy of Wu Yiliu; no matter how hard she tries to cover it up, the tension and fear can't be completely erased.

Just when Wu Yiliu's heart gradually began to heat up, the woman buried her head and walked quickly to the table with the woman in white sandals in front of the window, and sat down.

His heart sank.

The white sandal had already returned to its normal appearance at this time, he smiled at her and said, "Are you back?"

Wu Yiliu could only see the back of the woman's head nodding up and down.

Naturally, it was impossible for that woman to go out to eat with a deformed person.She seems to have said just now that "people who haven't changed can't see anything"... That is to say, there are still people around her who haven't changed their shape, or to be precise, there is someone beside her who "she thinks the other person hasn't changed his shape" people.

"Let's go," the woman's voice was indistinct across the two Libers across the way. It stands to reason that Wu Yiliu should not be able to hear it, but he did hear it, as if his hearing had strengthened. "I'm a little uncomfortable, I, I want to go back..."

Why hasn't the coffee he ordered come yet?
Liebers' gaze almost burned a hole in the top of his head.Ali didn't know when she put down the tableware, and both hands were placed on the dining table, as if she was ready to grab something at any time.Impossible, impossible, they should have no reason to suspect that his face is different...

"You haven't moved much," said the woman in the white sandals. "Are you okay? Do you want to pack?"

When she murmured that she didn't need it, the white sandals had already raised her hand and asked the waitress to take the lunch box.Wu Yiliu turned his head, and found that the waitress with dark eyes was walking towards him with a cup of hot coffee; he watched the other party put down the coffee, then turned his head to look at the white sandals and said yes, and went to get the lunch box.

...they deform more easily when their eyes meet.

He clutched the coffee mug tightly, the scalding heat pricking his hand constantly.

"I really don't have to," the woman said hastily, looking up at her friend.

A big hole appeared in the center of the white sandal's face again, engulfing the nearby facial features and skin together, so deep that the bottom could not be seen.The woman finally couldn't control herself anymore, and suddenly there was a piercing scream that tore the air in the dining room—at that moment, all heads turned towards her.

Despair held Wu Yiliu firmly.The only fellow traveler, the only normal person, before he could even speak to her, she was about to explain that she was here.

"What's the matter with you?" The white sandal's face was still sinking into the central black hole, and asked, "Why are you so abnormal?"

The woman couldn't answer a word, she had been completely cut off from her sanity.During her long, uncontrolled, heart-piercing scream, one by one everyone in the restaurant rose to their feet.

The waiters, diners, and even the back kitchen all changed their shapes one after another, and surrounded the woman who was on the verge of hysteria step by step, like a group of ants discovering a fresh insect corpse.Both Libes and Allie turned their heads towards her, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Yiliu forced himself to be courageous, held his coffee cup, and stood up abruptly.

"Where are you going?"

When Wu Yiliu walked past Li Bosi, the latter realized that he had got up, and stretched out his hand to grab him.He had already rehearsed this moment in his mind countless times, and he raised his hand and poured a whole cup of hot coffee on Liebers' face—if that can be called a face—there was a sound from the other party. Amidst the screams, he passed behind several deformed diners, and fled towards the door.

When rushing out the gate, Wu Yiliu looked back subconsciously.

... He could no longer see the woman, she was completely blocked by the people in the restaurant, as if she had never existed.
