Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 304 After the End
In that daydream that was too realistic and rich, the banknotes at Kisaragi Station became a detail that Lin Sanjiu remembered very clearly; the soft plastic-like material showed a clear color where the blue sky and the sea intersected, which made her particularly impressed. profound.

—but it should never be here.

As soon as Lin Sanjiu's eyes fell on those blue banknotes, a low "ah" slipped out of her throat——the next second, she immediately regretted it.

As if something had been aroused, the airflow on the table seemed to change suddenly.Although she immediately lowered her eyelids, the gazes from around her were still glued to her body as if they had substance, and finally moved away after a while; Lin Sanjiu quickly adjusted her expression, then raised her head again, At this time, the banknote in Dr. Chen's hand had turned into the pink color she was familiar with, with a leader's head on it.

Just as she remembered.

Is it wrong?
"What's the matter?" Dr. Chen, who was holding a few banknotes, gave her a surprised look, and handed over the money.

The faint background music in the restaurant is still playing melodiously.

"No, it's nothing," Lin Sanjiu tried his best to smile gently at him, feeling a cold sweat slipping down his back.

Her peripheral vision has already tightly caught the strange thing on the table, but her muscles are tense at the moment, wishing that even the hairs and hairs can stick to her body motionless—"I just touched it by accident." Feet, it's all right."

She just hoped her voice didn't vibrate too much.

... For the meal just now, Zhu Mei ordered a lamb chop.Along with the lamb chops, there is also a jug of steaming black pepper juice-the sauce of this restaurant is served in a small silver jug ​​for the guests, but it is used in Zhumei After finishing the black pepper juice, she conveniently placed the small silver pot in front of her dinner plate.

At this moment, Zhu Mei's distorted reflection just appeared from the curved surface of the silver pot.

She was sitting beside Lin Sanjiu, facing Dr. Chen's direction; although she didn't turn her head, her eyes were staring at Lin Sanjiu motionlessly - the black eyeballs were completely pushed into the corners of the eyes, almost I couldn't see it anymore, and there was only white in the eye sockets.

A pair of snow-white eyeballs stared at Lin Sanjiu motionlessly on the silver pot—can a normal person do such a thing?Also, why does Dr. Chen seem to have not noticed anything strange?
Leaning on one side of Zhu Mei's body, as if leaning on pins and needles.

"Okay, we should go too." Lin Sanjiu said with a smile on purpose, and then suddenly his heart moved, and he turned to Zhu Mei's profile and said: "...Do you think it's weird, I thought it was just now The money he took was blue."

Almost as soon as her voice came out, Zhu Mei's black eyes flashed back to the center.

"Blue? The reason for the lighting, you misread it." The white, tender, slightly round face turned around and smiled, still the familiar look before: "... By the way, do you want to come to my house at night? sleep?"

Lin Sanjiu swallowed the word "no" that was about to blurt out, deliberately hesitated for a few seconds, then waved his hand and said with a smile: "I chatted endlessly with you, and I don't have the energy to go to work the next day, I won't go !"

Zhu Mei glanced at her, smiled slowly, and said nothing more.

When she walked out of the restaurant, the wind from the air conditioner at the door blew on the back of Lin Sanjiu's neck, causing her to tremble all over, who was just covered in white sweat.Although Doctor Chen enthusiastically wanted to send the two of them home, the calm appearance Lin Sanjiu tried to maintain could not last long. After saying goodbye in a hurry on the pretext of being tired, she jumped into a taxi as if fleeing. ——Taking a few breaths, she felt better.

"Where?"

After waiting for a few seconds, the dark shadow in the driver's seat asked.

When the word "lucky" came to the tip of his tongue, Lin Sanjiu was startled suddenly.

Where to-?
Don't you want to go home?

The "Happy Xili" she almost said was the most expensive and luxurious real estate in the downtown area of ​​the city; in her dream, Lin Sanjiu moved to this neighborhood because of a man named Ren Nan.

Of course she couldn't afford to live in such a high-end place, it seemed that the dream was indeed too realistic.Lin Sanjiu stroked his forehead, but immediately fell into a daze.

...So, where is my home?

Migraines hit her right side of the skull like a hammer. Lin Sanjiu endured the pain like tearing nerves, desperately trying to recall her address.

Something is wrong...

"Miss, what's the matter with you? Where are you going?" The driver asked again probably because there was no sound from the back seat for a while.

"Wait, wait..." Lin Sanjiu rubbed his right temple, because of the headache, even his breath became heavier. "Let me think..."

There was a second of silence in the car.

Suddenly, the driver's voice became very soft.He turned his face slightly, lowered his voice, and asked softly as if persuading: "...Are you going home?"

This gentle question struck Lin Sanjiu's spine like lightning for some reason, and all the hairs on her body stood up in an instant—the bulging headache was still very clear, but Lin Sanjiu couldn't help it anymore. She couldn't care about it for a while, she swallowed, stared at the driver's silhouette, and touched the door handle with her fingers.

The door is locked and cannot be opened.

An intuition that came from nowhere was warning her over and over in her mind not to give an affirmative answer.

However, this warning seems to have come a bit late.

"...Did you forget your home address?" The driver's voice became softer, like a muscle relaxant, and after listening to it, he couldn't help but want to let out a long sigh, and then sank into the sofa.

"But how can a man not remember the address of his own home?"

The driver asked himself and answered.

Amidst the severe headache, tension and confusion, a sense of peace and trust slowly mixed in -- knowing that this feeling cannot be trusted, but Lin Sanjiu couldn't help closing his eyes slightly, his shoulders slack Yes, the finger slipped off the door.

In the quiet carriage, only the driver's voice drifted away like smoke, permeating the air, making people more relaxed. "There must be something wrong here, don't you think so, Miss?"

As the driver slowly turned his head, Lin Sanjiu raised his gaze almost feebly.

Under the peaked cap and between the neckline of the eggplant jacket, there is a pitch-black nothingness—nothing, no face, no neck.Lin Sanjiu watched helplessly as a cuff was slowly lifted up and stretched out towards her.

A sharp pain pierced her brain suddenly, and a voice screamed out of nowhere, "Hurry up!"

　Well, hahaha, I'm back again... I know I've broken my promise and gained weight... Well... Actually, it's like this, I went out on business in early September, and it's nothing serious to save the earth, but anyway because of this The reason is that I haven't updated it for almost 9 weeks... When I came back, I was... heartbroken...

Falling into the psychological cycle of "Oh my god, there is still no update of the article", "Well, I owe so much, I am so anxious, why don't I forget it today"...

You must understand me...

Damn, does anyone still read this article? ?
