Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 315
With a "pop", a shapeless shadow fell from Lin Sanjiu's hands. When it fell to the ground, its empty limbs swung an arc in the air, and then it fell limply. fell on the torso.The red-haired old Jack's body bag had a long gap split from the back, exposing it to the fluorescent lamp.

Almost at the same time it just touched the ground, a small shadow suddenly flashed out from the meat nest, rushed towards the corpse bag quickly, and with a high-pitched scream, it quickly sank into the gap.

Lin Sanjiu quietly watched the sack-like corpse swell up—even though the stuff that got in was not big, but the torso of the corpse was gradually filled up, and it began to show an appearance close to that of a real human being; only The change didn't last long - when "Old Red Jack" stood up from the ground, he and his companions looked hardly the same creature.

As if being stuffed into the face by a fist, most of the skin of the head hangs down limply, resting on a chin shaped like a rotten peach; the two arms are dangling empty beside the body, supporting The body bag disappeared at the thigh, and the end of the soft calf dragged two foot-shaped bags and was folded under the thigh together—at first glance, it felt like a person was half melted and was flowing to the floor of.

The fourth thing managed to open its mouth, but couldn't make any sound.

But this was enough—Lin Sanjiu herself was a little surprised: she never thought that one of her most incredible conjectures turned out to be the truth.

AYU glanced at the half-standing corpse of the red-haired old Jack, then looked at Lin Sanjiu, her mouth tightly pursed—out of the four creatures, she was the most like a real living person.

Is it because she was the first to eat human beings and wear corpses?Lin Sanjiu secretly guessed.

"...your body bag, there is no flesh and blood internal organs and bones for us to eat, even if you put a 'soul' in it, you can't become like us." When AYU spoke again, her surface was calm It seemed to disappear for a moment, but after her voice trembled, she returned to normal. "This body bag is ours - who the hell are you? Why don't visions work on you anymore?"

"I thought you didn't need my answer that much." Lin Sanjiu retorted, showing her white teeth.At her feet, several translucent chunks of flesh squealed like mice, escaped from the nest of broken meat, splashing mucus all over the ground; in the blink of an eye, the flesh pierced by bone spurs Kuai collapsed to the ground, convulsing and dying.

Every time a piece of meat died, the faces of AYU and the other three became ugly.

"Did you give birth to these things?" Lin Sanjiu's expression could even be said to be a bit cruel, she pinched the last piece of meat that was still struggling, and the disgust and sarcasm in her voice were hidden. Can't live. "Killing a mother's child in front of her... so embarrassing."

"I've already said that I don't—" AYU didn't finish his sentence, and as Lin Sanjiu suddenly closed his fingers, he immediately raised his voice: "—Wait!"

A pair of amber pupils turned to her, and the lump of flesh made a sharp sound after the pressure stopped.

"Okay, okay," AYU raised her only hand, and said as if surrendering: "...What do you want? We won't touch you, we won't mess with you, can we?"

Lin Sanjiu smiled slightly, and the bone wings on her back slightly raised according to her emotions - the other party's reaction was not unexpected.

From the confrontation just now, it can already be seen that this kind of creature is not good at fighting; and since Lin Sanjiu smashed half of the meat nest, the three AYUs on the opposite side have not stopped trying to create illusions - there are a few This time, the illusion did appear realistically for a few seconds, but it quickly disintegrated in the image sent back by the consciousness.

Having been relieved of their greatest reliance, the three of AYU could only stand defensively not far away, not even daring to rush over to save the piece of meat she slaughtered.They also knew very well that Lin Sanjiu could kill them several times in terms of combat power alone.

"The problem is, you guys have already provoked me, and more than once." Feeling the greasy touch between his fingers, Lin Sanjiu called out a tube of potato chips from Kisaragi Station in disgust, and after emptying it, A piece of meat was stuffed in. "...Well, where should I ask first... What are you guys?"

AYU's expression looks like someone stuffed a handful of dirt into his mouth.She stared at the Pringles cone before responding, "...souls. We are souls."

"Is the soul so damn long like you?"

"No no... the soul is the name of our family." I don't know if it is because of the hostage relationship, AYU cooperated strangely: "This name has been with us since our hometown... I don't know if it is Who named it, but it’s quite accurate, don’t you think? No matter what kind of creature is to us, it’s just a skin, and the real master is us—just like what you humans call the soul.”

"Where did you come from? How did you get here?"

"Have you ever heard of a doomsday world called the walking dead? That's our hometown." AYU's dark eyes stared at her. Behind her, the other two bodies that had been hollowed out by the "soul" were the same. Poker face. "...When the end comes in that world, it is also the time when our family was born."

Lin Sanjiu suddenly felt a chill rushing from her back—"You...could you be the reason why the world is coming to an end?"

Ayu nodded slowly.

In other words...they are the same as the high temperature of the extreme temperature hell, the severe cold of the ice and snow storm, and the nuclear radiation of the Garden of Eden...they are all the same thing.

Lin Sanjiu never thought that the cause of the end of the world could still...travel.

"No, that's not right," she suddenly remembered something, "The end of this world has already come once, and it was brought by the red nautilus, an extraterrestrial creature—"

The second half of the sentence was suddenly swallowed by her.

AYU glanced at her, smiled and said, "What do you think is inside the red nautilus?...it's us."

"The Red Nautilus Realm is already the third world outside of our hometown. In the last world, we discovered this kind of creature that is as powerful as its size...so we changed from the previous skin to the red parrot. In the body of the snail. After eating the inside of the creature, our soul will imitate a similar structure in the skin, so as to obtain some abilities of this creature... This is why I can speak and move like you humans In the same way, after we eat the red nautilus, we can also manipulate their mucus and tentacles-manipulating these huge shells, we came to this world."

Lin Sanjiu's fingers pressing on the lid of the potato chip tube had turned pale.It took a while before she felt that she finally understood what AYU said.

"Do you also switch worlds every 14 months?"

"Oh, no." AYU shook his head, "Human beings in some places already have the ability to travel between stars, and in some places, creatures like red nautiluses can travel in space after being eaten by us—because they It has been hollowed out, so there is no need to consume oxygen and food. Before coming to this world, we have been shuttling in the dark for nearly a hundred years."

Nearly a hundred years——Lin Sanjiu was surprised, the doomsday world started a hundred years ago?But after thinking about it, if the "soul" family's voyage exceeds a certain speed and crosses dimensions, this time will not be accurate... Because it involves a physical field that she doesn't understand, Lin Sanjiu has no deep knowledge. Think about it.

Knowing that the other party's attitude of answering questions is a bit weird, she still couldn't help asking: "...Why do you keep going to the new world?"

"Why do sheep eat grass? Why do fish swim? Why do humans struggle in the apocalypse? It's all because of the most basic reproductive instinct in our genes. Like you, we also want to reproduce; in order to find the skin that allows us to reproduce, We must keep trying. What's more, as long as we don't die, every time we change our skin, we are equivalent to being reborn."

"...You mean, you can't reproduce?"

AYU's complexion darkened, and his eyes fell back on the potato chip tube again. "That's right. All the souls you see come out of the first world of the walking dead, and I'm just a carrier; for so long, we've only had a reduction, but never had a newborn...you If five souls are killed today, we will lose five souls. This is why I want to have a good talk with you, there is no deep hatred between us, and there is really no need for both of us to suffer."

"Oh? Then what do you want?"

"There are still your friends in the R area, right? Under the action of our chemical hormones, they will be very harmful to the brain if they fall into a deep sleep like this...Take so many people with you for a soul and live in peace, won't you suffer?" AYU He even half-jokingly said: "We have nothing but an empty skin, so we can't make up for your injuries."

And the two people behind her and the half-melted red-haired old Jack never said a word, as if they were all handled by AYU.

Lin Sanjiu felt that her mind was filled with a lot of information, and it was even a bit difficult to think - but she finally nodded.It’s not long before the spaceship lands, no matter what, save the people in Area R from the mouth of the “soul” first, and we can talk about the rest later——AYU really kept his promise, and after a few hours, When the spaceship began to slowly descend, let the other two men wake everyone up.

Although she was still full of doubts, when Lin Sanjiu saw Ward rubbing his eyes and got up from the ground, and Zhang Huabi was startled by two men when he first woke up, she still couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.The other passengers had no idea that they had just escaped being gutted, and they were still muttering about not being able to sleep well.

"Okay, now you should give me back that soul, right?"

After most of the passengers left one after another, AYU who stayed at the end smiled and said to Lin Sanjiu.Beside her, Ward and Zhang Huabi followed her closely as if they wanted to protect her, and stared at AYU and his group defensively. They also felt that it was too abnormal for them to fall asleep suddenly until the spaceship landed.

To be honest, Lin Sanjiu didn't really know what to do.

She didn't want to just hand over her soul—it was the only evidence she could prove the existence of souls—but she didn't want to get entangled with this family either.After all, after they get used to the skin, they look no different from real people; if the soul family keeps sending people to attack and harass them, even if she is not afraid, she has to think about her friends around her.

With some reluctance, Lin Sanjiu handed over the potato chip tube.

However, when AYU reached out to pick it up, she suddenly took it back and narrowed her eyes.

"You talked too much just now, I almost forgot to ask one thing." Lin Sanjiu stared closely at AYU, feeling his fingers were cold. "...Why did you make the passengers in Area R unconscious?"

AYU's mouth opened and closed, but there was no sound for a moment.

"After you gave birth to the first batch of souls, Zhang Huabi discovered that you were pregnant again." Lin Sanjiu desperately hoped that she had guessed wrong, but the hairs on her back had already stood up. "That is to say, you carry more than nine souls... and before you went to find me in the meat lair, you stunned the passengers in Area R."

The person behind seemed to move, but before anything happened, the bone wings had already spread rapidly, defending the master like a beast.

"...One side is the soul, and the other side is the ready-made skin." Lin Sanjiu's eyes were as dry as his throat, "...the people in the R area have been hollowed out long ago, right?"

When she finished saying this sentence, she felt the bone wings behind her being tapped lightly.

Lin Sanjiu turned around slowly.

Zhang Huabi looked at her expressionlessly, her curly hair, which was always funny, was tightly attached to her scalp, making her look unnatural somewhere.

Ward was different.

The young man with dark blond hair, whether in expression or movements, was as flexible and real as he was in life, as if he was himself.

"I deliberately delayed it for such a long time, just to make their appearance more natural," Ward—or, the creature wearing Ward, said with a smile: "I didn't expect to be discovered by you."

Lin Sanjiu felt a little nauseous.

She didn't know how souls hollowed out humans, but she also knew that it was rare for souls to become so alive in such a short period of time.

"Ward" held out a hand toward her, smiling again.

"Hello, I am the queen of the soul family, I am very happy to be able to... wear you today."
