Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 2002 Empty Bag

Even being exposed to the eyes of a group of mortals seemed unbearable to the puppeteer, so after a few minutes, a temple floated high in the center of the cockpit—compared to Last time, its momentum and scale were even bigger, and the shadows weighed heavily on the cockpit floor.

Lin Sanjiu sat in a corner of the shadow, frowning.

It has been a while since she tried to rescue Yu Yuan last time.But she tried to sell the mushroom skin bag from the left hand to the right hand several times, but was re-squeezed by [eBay] after a while because of "incorrect goods"; no matter which time, no Yu Yuan popped out of the bag .

Could it be that this method doesn't work?
"Jortans," she greeted the middle-aged man who was in a daze, "you take this."

Jotans, who is round and has not much hair on his head, looks more like a potato when he comes here. Although he looks ugly, he is very kind and gratifying after a long time, especially he has a special service attitude : "What do you need me to do with it?"

It seemed that compared to before, he was a little more polite and awed towards Lin Sanjiu.

"You don't need 'you'," Lin Sanjiu was a little bit dumbfounded, "You take it, and you will receive these two things I sent over through items in a while."

She said, shaking the paper with a few lines of writing in her hand, as well as the large stack of writing paper used in the last communication, and then said: "The point is the next step after receiving them...you then You will receive a stack of writing paper, you must be careful not to confuse the writing paper you received twice."

Jotans nodded, tactfully didn't ask any more questions, and just sat down beside Lin Sanjiu.

Apparently, Yu Yuan has been waiting in the [eBay] space, so this time she just sent the question and the writing paper, and received the answer almost immediately - from Jotans's hand, it suddenly sprayed out like flying flowers. Fortunately, he stuffed the calligraphy paper he "bought" just now into his bag, so that the two did not get mixed up.

"Help me collect these writing papers, don't miss one piece," Lin Sanjiu hurriedly ordered.

"Oh, good," Jotans didn't dare to delay, quickly swept the ground with two short and fat hands, gathering up a pile of writing paper.When the two of them searched around to avoid any fish that slipped through the net, he coughed and asked in a low voice: "That...excuse me, you, I mean, are you and the puppeteer... are you?" friend?"

Lin Sanjiu paused, thinking about the word "friend" for a while.

"Yeah," she said vaguely.

Jotans stammered again and asked, "Then...then look, do I still have any hope of leaving?"

Before Lin Sanjiu could answer, he himself was nervous, so he continued in one breath: "I heard that the puppeteer master has a fancy for someone's ability, which is directly manipulated after turning the other party into a puppet. ...I, I am definitely willing to cooperate with all my strength, as long as I can do whatever I can, but I really, really want to live, and I don't want to become a puppet... If you are friends, can you plead for me... ..."

Lin Sanjiu sighed in his stomach.

"You're not going to be a puppet," she said, glancing at the temple in the center of the cockpit.Jotans didn't know, but she knew it—their conversation must have escaped the puppeteer's ears. "Do not worry."

"Really?" Probably because the guarantee came so easily, Jotense's face was full of disbelief.

"Really." Lin Sanjiu thought for a while and asked, "Have you heard of the power of Karma?"

Jotans shook his head blankly.

There is no need to hide this matter, Lin Sanjiu simply explained it to him—although it did not point out, but the meaning is very clear: when the power of Karma spreads to the whole world, even a puppeteer , and will no longer casually hurt people's lives.

After listening, Jotense's complexion couldn't help but brighten a little; apparently, he wasn't too afraid of the power of Karma himself, he was just glad that the puppeteer would taboo it.

"If it's just to help, I won't be afraid even if it's been a few years." He rubbed his face and said with a smile, "I'm not afraid that you will laugh at me. It's actually not the first time I've been caught... I have special abilities. , but the combat power is not high, how can it be smooth sailing if you can live to this day."

Lin Sanjiu asked while collecting writing paper, "Oh? Are you a post-apocalypse?"

"No, my hometown is a world called 'Metropolis'." Jotans seemed to soften the corners of his face when talking about his hometown, and whispered: "I have traveled to many worlds, and I have never seen There's no better place than 'Metropolis', not even the Twelve Worlds. My hometown is just an E-class world, so even after the apocalypse, a few friends and I can maintain a life in the same apartment building Living together for more than half a year... There is a guy who hasn't evolved, can you believe it?"

Lin Sanjiu found that she seemed to have a magical ability - it seemed easier for others to open their hearts when facing her.

"What kind of doomsday?" she asked.

"Based on the end of the world, it's pretty mild." Jotans said with a wry smile, "A virus that spreads fast and mutates faster. We're lucky. It mutates to a later stage, and it's not so deadly. That's why we survived."

"You have lived in the building for more than half a year?" Lin Sanjiu took another piece of writing paper from Jotans, and asked with a smile, "What about the water and electricity?"

"We installed a back-up generator," he said, seeming quite proud. "The water has never been cut off, but later, it became more and more unstable, and the water quality became worse and worse. We I just moved away. I was not close to my parents when I was a child. After they passed away, I have been with my friends. Those days, thinking about it now, are more interesting than before the end. Yilin said, that’s because I finally No need to go to work anymore..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly fell into memory in a daze.

Lin Sanjiu didn't ask what happened to his friend—even in trivial details, she wanted to avoid cruelty as much as possible.

She quietly collected all the writing papers and spread them on the floor one by one; Jotans came back to his senses and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I haven't thought about them for a long time, all of a sudden... Is there anything I can do to help?"

"It's okay." Lin Sanjiu smiled and said, "This is a message from my friend. I need you to help me spell out what he wants to say."

"No problem." Although Jotans didn't look like it, he actually had a good mind. He lowered his head and fought with Lin Sanjiu for a while, and gradually figured out the cause and effect from the formed information-"Your friend actually Are you trapped in another independent space?"

Lin Sanjiu frowned, staring at the message on the ground, and gave an absent-minded "hmm".

"I saw your mushroom skin bag from the pipe in [eBay] space," Yu Yuan sent her back a short message, "I tried to get into the pipe before it was squeezed out of [eBay], Get into the bag... But no. Each transaction item is an independent and complete individual. It has already experienced a "confirmation" when it enters [eBay]. After it enters the [eBay] space, I couldn't break its integrity and get in."

After inquiring about the details, Jotans came up with an idea: "You can buy him directly, okay?"

Lin Sanjiu shook his head.

Every time a transaction is carried out, two [eBay] terminals must be connected to activate the pipeline to realize the transmission of things.If you want to buy Yu Yuan directly, since he is not an [eBay] terminal, he cannot establish a connection, so the transaction cannot be carried out at all... So she came up with an idea to ask Yu Yuan to trade mushroom skin bags when she uses the [eBay] terminal When the time comes, find a way to get into the bag.

She had a good idea at first: once a data body is squeezed into the mushroom skin bag, it will also meet her purchase requirements, so logically speaking, wouldn't it be able to be delivered directly to her?

However, she did not expect that once the mushroom skin bag entered the [eBay] space, even the data body would not be able to penetrate.

In this way, wouldn't it be impossible to "buy" Yu Yuan out?
　In the spirit of not wanting to waste, I spent four hours today cooking all the dishes in the refrigerator and freezing them... From tomorrow until the plane lands and I move into my new home, I will live on frozen food...

By the way, the tales from the gas station recommended last time are very interesting, the kind of off-beat, dead-pan, very dry sense of humor (these three descriptions I didn’t even realize that my vocabulary is really bad), very Like the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy... I've seen the second one now.
