Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 2024 Six
"...Jortens?"

Yu Yuan turned around from the machine, and called out to the corridor behind Lin Sanjiu.

This cry seemed to have thawed her too; she quickly turned her head and found that Jotans was still standing sideways behind the entrance of the corridor, half of his body covered by the wall just like before.

The lights were already on, but he still held his arms up, as if he was suddenly frozen while he was flipping over something on the wall.Lin Sanjiu felt that Yu Yuan stood up slowly, and although the two of them didn't make a sound, they both tensed up in unison.

"Isn't Jotans half bald?" The sorceress spit out what the two of them hadn't said, "He has very thick and black hair now?"

There was no one in the room to answer.

"Jortans?" Lin Sanjiu and Yu Yuan looked at each other, nodded at each other, and then called out slowly.She walked towards Jotans step by step and called, "I'll go over now, you stand still, okay?"

The black-haired silhouette half covered by the wall remained silent and motionless.

When Lin Sanjiu called out to attract his attention, Yu Yuan also quietly approached behind Jotans from the other side.Just when the two exchanged glances again and were ready to pounce, they heard a light knock on the floor of the room behind them—as if something very light had fallen; then, the life mentor Just took a breath.

Turning his eyes back subconsciously, Lin Sanjiu immediately forgot all the plan just now, and shouted: "Yuan Xiangxi?"

Still wearing the white clothes he had seen in the movie, Yuan Xiangxi was sitting on the ground at this time, as if he had been pushed down from mid-air; he looked the same as when he parted last time, except that he seemed paler , A little more hazy, like a dark moonlight floating around a layer of mist.

He always had an expression on his face as if he had just been woken up from a dream, blinked his eyes a few times, and asked in a soft voice with uncertainty: "...Lin Sanjiu?"

Influenced by Bohemian habits, he would call her by her first name—this thought was like a thorn, and Zadrin's internal organs suddenly shrank.

By the time she realized it, her feet had already rushed towards Yuan and west; she had asked several times, but this time she finally found her partner: "Can you come out now? Are you safe?"

"Well," Yuan Xiangxi nodded obediently before saying, "But I'm very close to dissipating—"

Before he finished speaking, Yu Yuan let out a low roar, which made Lin Sanjiu turn his head away.

Jotense—or rather, the man who looked like Jotense but suddenly had black hair—was no longer there at some point.The back of the head with black hair is running towards the depths of the corridor at a rapid speed; Yu Yuan has already rushed out, and then rushed to the corridor.

Just when Lin Sanjiu was about to catch up, she thought of Yuan Xiangxi behind her. She was anxious and worried, wishing she could be split into two halves. Looking back, she hurriedly called out to her life mentor, "Help me take care of it." He," barely suppressing his worries, chased after Yu Yuan's back.

"hurry up,"

After realizing that she was also following, Yu Yuan threw a sentence from his shoulder, and the voice echoed in the corridor: "That thing's speed is too fast!"

They all know Jotense's skill, so they can only call it normal; however, at this moment, the two ran with all their strength for a few seconds, and the distance from the back of "Jortense"'s head not only did not decrease, but gradually widened——Lin San Jiu took a closer look, and almost didn't know how to react for a while, and shouted in a low voice in shock: "Look at his legs!"

Yu Yuan gritted his teeth, as if he was forcing himself to run faster, and only let out an "um" from his nose.

It seems that he discovered just now that Jotans, who had been running forward, was not actually "running": his knees and toes were pointing at Lin Sanjiu, and it should be said that he was "stripping back". ——The speed is so fast that even the two of them can't catch up.

A distant buzzing sound of turning the wheels slipped past the edge of Lin Sanjiu's consciousness, and she almost failed to grasp its meaning; it was only after a few seconds that she suddenly realized what it was.

"Wall," she shouted as she ran without turning her head, "the wall of the room has been closed again!"

Yu Yuan suddenly slammed on the brakes and stopped - but not because he heard that the walls of the room behind him were closed.

"He's gone," he murmured, looking at the straight aisle in front of him, without even a corner, "Jortens was running... suddenly disappeared."

Lin Sanjiu covered his face with one hand, and let out a hot panting.

"Why did this happen?" she asked in a low voice. "What is going on now? Is Jotense in danger?"

Yu Yuan stared at the empty aisle and said, "The back of the head...is what you saw in the movie, right?"

Lin Sanjiu nodded.

Seeing that it was pointless to continue chasing, she was worried about Yuan Xiangxi in the back room, the two hesitated for a while, and decided to go back first.Although there was something strange about Jotans, he was in the spaceship high in the sky at the moment, so he must still be somewhere in the ship and would not disappear; if they asked Yuan Xiangxi later, they might still be able to find some clues.

"I've thought about it," Yu Yuan said in a low voice, almost unwillingly, on the way back, "I can only think of one explanation..."

Lin Sanjiu also thought of this explanation, but she really didn't want to say it—as if saying it would make it come true.

"The supernatural things in the movie," Yu Yuan wiped his face, "are the same as Yuan Xiangxi...'complete program', not energy images."

Lin Sanjiu swallowed back the words "how is it possible".The situation was already clearly in front of her eyes, and it would not help if she didn't admit it or understand it; the most important issue now was another one.

"In that movie..." She swallowed, and said, "There is more than one black-haired back of the head."

Yu Yuan didn't speak, and his expression became more serious.

"There are a total of six living characters in the Mansion of Sighing Hills," her voice was bumped up and down by the hurried footsteps, "Jess, Mona, the butler, the cook, and the Marquis. If the couple understand the plot of the movie correctly , then among the six living characters, except for the cook who ran away early, everyone else was slowly occupied and swallowed up by a thing that followed, until the end, I don’t know if they were fed rat poison. No The one who grabbed the cook is still wandering in the courtyard..."

While speaking, the two had already come to the wall, and Yu Yuan quickly pressed a few times on the control panel.There was a pause for half a second; he pressed harder again a few times.

"Assuming those 'things' in the movie are real..." Lin Sanjiu swallowed back the last word, and said, "Then there are six of them on the spaceship now...Huh? What's the matter? Why is there no door? open?"

As if to answer her, someone suddenly slammed the wall from the other side, and then the instructor's voice sounded: "Open the door! Lin Sanjiu, is that you? Open the door for us!"

"What's the matter?" Lin Sanjiu shuddered, a layer of cold sweat formed on his palms, and immediately called through the door: "What happened?"

She heard the witch's indistinct voice, calling from the other end of the room: "This door is open—Guru, go, go!"

The last two words almost screamed out of control.
