Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1913 City of Dolls
If there were really only 10 minutes left to save the puppeteer, Lin Sanjiu couldn't believe that it was half a minute, and she could only stand there in a daze.

The only movement in front of her was a small number constantly jumping on the screen.

98, 99, 100...Even though Lin Sanjiu stared at it firmly and put all his willpower into urging it to go fast, the elevator still maintained the same speed—that is, the very proud introduction board on the wall of the elevator , wrote "60 kilometers per hour" - unmoved and steadily rising.

With a "ding", accompanied by a soft female voice prompt, the elevator finally stopped at the top floor - it only took more than 30 seconds.

This is already quite admirable speed; but right now Lin Sanjiu has less than 10 minutes to save someone, when she rushed out of the elevator while opening and closing her mouth to relieve the pressure in her ears, she even doubted herself An irreparable mistake has been made.

Can you see it?
Lin Sanjiu pressed his hands on the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the dark city unfolding outside the window without blinking.

Thick clouds blocked the light of the sky, and only the occasional snow-white thunder and lightning suddenly illuminated the water curtains that quickly fell on the glass; The city was sunk in darkness, silently looking back at her from afar.

The cold glass she touched at this time, the countless rain curtains floating in the sky, the black river winding through the city, the purple and blood red street lamps that suddenly lit up from the darkness...all are puppet masters, and none of them are. Puppeteer.

"Please,"

Lin Sanjiu said in a low voice to the pitch-black rain curtain outside the glass, that she didn't know if the puppeteer was still conscious, and if she could still hear her pleading. "Give me a signal and tell me how to stop you from becoming a copy..."

On the glass that was painted black by the storm, there was only her own reflection, looking at her anxiously.

Even if the puppeteer was about to become a copy, he would never ask her for help—he even refused to help her save himself.

Before she rushed to the top of the building, the news that the great witch had managed to convey successfully echoed in her mind again.

"The copy is almost finished now," her voice echoed in every street in all directions, "I will try my best to hold him back, hurry up..."

that's it?
Lin Sanjiu didn't hear anything useful, and was so anxious that she stomped her feet.The information she needs most is how to save the puppeteer, and she doesn't care about whether the content of the dungeon is previewed or not; the big witch can't say a single useful word, what should she do?While she was anxious, she looked around, turned her head inadvertently, and when her eyes swept across the road she rushed in, she suddenly froze.

When she was undecided, the dark city was still expanding outwards; the edge of the road she rushed in just now had been pushed far away before she knew it—Lin Sanjiu knew very well that she could Didn't get this far.

If the city is extending in this direction, is it also extending in other directions?
If the rest of the city has already been formed, only this side is still growing; is it possible that the last little puppeteer can be found in the unfinished corner of the city, where it is still growing?
To prove this conjecture, she must have a panoramic view of the entire city at the same time; in this city, there is only one place where she can do it, and that is the surrounding view of the tallest building she saw when she looked down from the cliff. viewing platform.

Lin Sanjiu narrowed his eyes, and leaned over with the reflection, two identical faces almost touching the pitch-black glass.

Her heart skipped a beat—the city she saw was indeed slowly extending outward.

However, the direction she was staring at was not in the same place as the entrance she had rushed into the city just now.

what happened?

Could it be... Could it be that the city is slowly growing in every direction?
As soon as this idea jumped into her mind, Lin Sanjiu immediately ran away, and quickly and carefully looked at the entire black city along the French windows surrounding the top floor of the building—just as she had feared, the black city was indeed going on. Extend in all directions at the same time.

She almost fell to the ground in disappointment.The puppeteer ran out of time, yet another of her speculations failed.

No matter what happened, it was impossible for her to divide herself to check the situation in all directions at the same time; in terms of the size of this city, 10 minutes would not be enough to go around it...

How to do?
Lin Sanjiu stared blankly at the pitch-black glass, and his eyes stopped at the patchwork of urban buildings of different heights in the distance.She watched it for a few seconds, then her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly moved closer.

If she is not mistaken, it seems that on the western corner, the growth speed of buildings and road tracks is a little slower than that in other directions - from the height where she is, it only takes three or four seconds in other directions to It can extend as long as a thumb, but it takes almost twice as long for the western cities.

That's right... "I will try my best to hold him back", the big witch said twice.

The growth is slower in the west, is it because the Grand Witch is blocking the progress of the city dungeon there?

Lin Sanjiu looked at the position of Yumu at this time, turned around and rushed to the elevator.

The tallest building is right in the center of the city, and running from here to any direction saves a lot of distance; but most of her combat strength and physical fitness have fallen asleep, and today she has been exhausted after so many twists and turns and running around—at this time she Hearing the sound of his own footsteps stepping on the empty street, listening to the heavy and broken breathing between the nose and throat, it seems that the soul has been soaked in the rainwater of this black city, and he can't lift his head.

No... The puppeteer's last chance to be rescued cannot be ruined by his weak legs that are about to fall to the ground.

Lin Sanjiu looked around and suddenly came up with an idea.

The elevators can work normally, so can the cars on the road?

...it turns out, yes.

When she opened the car door, the owner of that car was sitting in the driver's seat blankly, with his arms on the steering wheel; perhaps because the copy hadn't been completed, he hadn't been fully "activated". Looking almost like a dummy doll, without even looking back.

I don't know what role this car and the people inside will play after the dungeon is completed?
Lin Sanjiu grabbed him by the collar, dragged him out of the car, threw him on the ground, and took his place in his place—with a turn of the key and a kick of the accelerator, the car immediately turned crookedly towards the West jumped out.She didn't have to worry about the traffic rules at all, she could take whatever shortcuts she wanted. Not only did she drive the car onto the sidewalk, but she also slammed through the narrow alleys several times, smashed into the outdoor dining area of ​​the restaurant, and left behind A slip of sparks.

"You have to hurry up, this dungeon is very close to completion, and the content preview is about to start!"

When the voice of the great witch suddenly rang out from the radio, Lin Sanjiu was taken aback and almost crashed the car into a pillar under the sky track.

"What is it? Will it cause danger to me?" She asked anxiously.

"Probably not," the big witch seemed a little uncertain, "mainly—"

She couldn't finish speaking, and the second half of her words were cut off.

Lin Sanjiu was stunned.

Immediately, she slammed the accelerator to the bottom, and the car sped straight ahead in a suicidal attitude.

The big witch knew better than her how tight time was, so what she told Lin Sanjiu at this moment must not be useless information that she thought of somewhere.

She didn't tell Lin Sanjiu to turn around or think of other ways, but instead only told her to "hurry up", probably implying that Lin Sanjiu's actions were in the right direction; then, in the message "The content of the dungeon is about to start a preview" , does it also contain information that is crucial to rescuing the puppeteer?
Lin Sanjiu's mind was so entangled in this thought for a moment that she didn't notice the strange situation on the road ahead in time, but instead drove the car straight into the crowd of people—when she was in a hurry Panting as she hit the brakes, she realized she was surrounded by figures.

　Recently, there is an event for Kindle e-books in Central Asia, the complete works of Lao She, the complete works of Lu Xun, the complete works of Shakespeare by Zhu Shenghao, the complete works of Zhou Zuoren, all 9.9! !I also bought a complete set of original works of Dickens, also 9.9! !If you buy Dickens on the United States and Asia, 9.9 may not get you five pages...

For me, this kind of tome is really cost-effective, because I am very picky when reading Chinese books, mainly from the Republic of China (there are good ones from time to time in the 80s and 90s) + remote areas + occasional special cases (Li Juan such as).Suddenly there is a big book of complete works, it's like seeing food all of a sudden...
