Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 582
The feeling of standing on the ground with both feet again——

It's amazing!
At this moment, Lin Sanjiu seemed to have lost her mind suddenly: she jumped on the floor several times, her calves were numb from the shock, and her boots stomped the ground so loudly; she spread her fingers again and again, Clenching it tightly, she really felt the contraction of her muscles and bones, and couldn't help showing a smile that would definitely be called "uncomfortable by looking at it" by a puppeteer.

As long as the body is back, everything will be easy to handle.

She sighed contentedly, and in a blink of an eye, her eyes fell on the big goose, and she stopped laughing immediately.

The big goose was still standing there in a daze, its black bean-like eyes met hers—one person and one goose looked at each other for two seconds, but Lin Sanjiu couldn't find the character-filled light from his eyes; Behind the goose tail, a bag of potato chips is still lying quietly on the ground.

The puppeteer did not follow along to restore the original shape.

Is it too late?He can't be rescued anymore?

Lin Sanjiu took a few steps and squatted beside the big goose. Just as he was about to reach out to grab the potato chips on the ground, his movements froze.

What do I want to do?

She asked herself such a question in her heart.

Do you want to take him now?Can he still be saved?Besides, my consciousness is completely exhausted, and I have no energy left to help the puppeteer.

But after hesitating for a while, Lin Sanjiu slowly and reluctantly realized that these were actually reasons for her to lie to herself, they were all excuses.

There is only one real reason: if the puppeteer dies in this dungeon, then Ji Shanqing, Doctor Mao, and Hu Changzai will all be rescued!

...It was the gift bag that said "sister" in one mouthful, it was Hu Miaomiao whose green eyes would sparkle when she made a request, and that was Hu Changzai who blushed when he told a lie and had a thick neck.

This thought was so tempting that even Lin Sanjiu's fingers trembled slightly.With his own life, in exchange for the chance of his three companions to survive——whether or not?

From her understanding of the puppeteer, this is a guy who only holds grudges but not gratitude; even if she really worked hard to restore him to human form, as long as his goal is not achieved, he probably won't Give up the package.

But after thinking about it again, only Mrs. Cleveland needs to buy potato chips - this matter had nothing to do with the puppeteer in the first place, the reason why he was also involved was because he found out that he was turned into potato chips , come here to help Lin Sanjiu...

In this way, the reason why the puppeteer was not transformed into a human form may only be because he has not completed his own task-he may still be saved.

This guess was suppressed like a heavy dark cloud, and Lin Sanjiu's lower lip was already white from being bitten.The fate of the four people may be on her mind.

Squatting next to the big goose, she stared blankly at the potato chips on the ground for a while, and finally stretched out her hand.

... She picked up the shopping list on the floor.

When Lin Sanjiu slowly straightened up, her gaze never left the bag of potato chips.The slip of paper tightly held in her hand was constantly making a slight rustling sound, like a dead leaf trembling in the autumn wind.

Maybe the person who turned into potato chips can still hear and see, but she didn't say anything because she didn't know what to say.

Lin Sanjiu panicked inexplicably, and she didn't even know what she was afraid of—at first she took two steps back slowly, then suddenly turned around and ran, running all the way out of the aisle under the eyes of the big goose, until she couldn't look at her again. He stopped when he couldn't see the puffed food shelf.

Holding the cash register with one hand, she couldn't help taking a few deep breaths, as if the short distance just now had exhausted her enormous energy.Knowing that neither the puppeteer nor the goose could see her, Lin Sanjiu still had the illusion that she was being watched by someone.

She didn't expect that one day she would be full of heart-wrenching guilt towards the puppeteer——

This thought flashed through his mind, Lin Sanjiu suddenly raised his head, and the hairs on his back stood up.

She wasn't deluded by guilt.

In the calm air, behind the empty counter, there was indeed a creature watching her silently.

Lin Sanjiu took two steps back slowly, his eyes fixed on the open space—what is he going to do?
"Ms. Cleveland," the same Indian accent rang out, causing her to frown suddenly, as if something was wrong -- "It's great to see you again."

At this moment, Lin Sanjiu suddenly understood what was wrong.

This time, the voice did not come from the speakers; it was like talking face-to-face with someone, the Indian accent clearly entered her ears from not far away.

She hadn't made up her mind whether to respond, but the invisible creature continued, "We're running out of time."

Is this also one of the dungeon prompts?But the fourth hour is still far away—"What time?" She couldn't help asking.

"Don't talk, just listen to me." The voice actually interrupted her. "I have been running this store for a long time. I have forgotten what happened before I came here. Every time I open my eyes, I stand in the same place and look at people with different appearances outside the door. This store came. My job is to welcome them, to help them buy things, to maintain the operation of the store... This time I opened my eyes and met you and Mr. Griffin."

The voice sounded flat, as if it was telling a long-ago story, compared with the enthusiasm of the briefing just now, it seemed to be a different person.

No, this is not right.Lin Sanjiu's complexion gradually turned pale, thinking in his heart, he shouldn't have told me these words——

"I just want to keep working normally, but this time it's different. As soon as I opened my eyes, I felt ... the store has been moved, someone is watching me from the shadows, looking at this store."

"I don't know who those people are, and I don't know what they want, but I can tell you that just now, the eyes from the dark disappeared. I can feel that this matter is not over yet, but I have May not see the future. Mrs. Cleveland, it is very good to see you again. Be careful, they may be back again soon—”

"Wait, where are you going?"

"I'm not going anywhere." The voice paused, and suddenly sighed softly: "I'm right here, with my store. I mean, neither I nor it can see the future gone."

Lin Sanjiu was taken aback, but didn't say a word.

"I sit here day in and day out, watching people come and go without leaving a trace. This is the only store I've ever known and been familiar with in this world, so I know we're running out of time for both of us... "

The creature's tone was still steady, without any fluctuations, but the voice became smaller and lower until it disappeared.You Jing was caged again, and the air was still empty, with no one in sight.

After waiting for a few seconds, Lin Sanjiu reacted violently, thinking of the puppeteer immediately; she turned around and ran back, plunging into the aisle—as she braked suddenly, the soles of her boots There was a sharp creak on the floor, piercing the air.

The big goose was still standing obediently, but the bag of potato chips under its tail was gone.

"Where is your master?" Lin Sanjiu rushed forward, picked it up, and kept looking around: "Where did he go at this juncture?"

Where can the puppeteer go?He has no power of action at all now, and it is impossible for him to leave according to his own wishes—she refuses to think about the worst, her heart is beating thumping, as if it is about to jump out of her chest; hugging the big goose, Lin Sanjiu He quickly rushed towards the door, betting all his hopes on breaking through the door.

The feeling of the copy creature is not wrong, the person who has been observing the store in the dark, of course, can only be the data body.What made her hang up the most was the voice that said that she would disappear with the store—now that the copy creature has disappeared, so is the store copy going to have an accident soon?

Lin Sanjiu was full of anxiety. Seeing the glass door not far away, he kicked his foot and slammed straight into the glass.She used all her strength in this blow, and the force of the impact was not even comparable to that of a locomotive-yet it was like a punch into the air, and she hit nothing.

Such a powerful charge fell lightly into the air, immediately causing her internal organs to turn upside down, and she was extremely uncomfortable for a while——During the whirlwind, Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell whether she was thrown into the sky, or It fell to the ground, and I didn't even know if my limbs were still there.

The field of vision dimmed and flickered, and this moment seemed to be elongated, boundless and endless; she was floating in the half-truth and half-illusion, and after an unknown period of time, there was a "bang" at last, and she felt her shoulder, The body and legs, like a few stones in a broken bag, hit a hard thing one after another.

Lin Sanjiu gasped, seeing nothing for a while, but still struggling to get up, holding the goose in his arms.Although the big goose was dumbfounded, it also seemed to be startled, and kept flapping its wings on her arm.

"Give it back to me," a deep voice sounded not far away, "That's my goose."

Like an electric shock, Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat, and his eyesight gradually recovered.She found that she was sitting on a piece of withered and yellow grass, covered with broken bricks, garbage, plastic bags, and torn cloth... not far away, a man wrapped in black leather was looking at her sullenly.

"You, are you okay?" Lin Sanjiu jumped up, "I thought you—I thought you—"

"Disappointed?" The puppeteer wrinkled half of his face, revealing half a row of white teeth.His coldness at this time is a bit different, as if full of sharp murderous intent: "Your plan to let me fend for myself failed, and now it's my turn to act."

"No—no, I—" Lin Sanjiu's face flushed red, trying to defend himself, but he couldn't find anything to say.

The puppeteer didn't move, nor came up to attack her, but just looked at her coldly.

Lin Sanjiu sighed.

"I didn't want you to fend for yourself," she said in a low voice, but she also knew that the other party would not pay attention to this sentence.She stopped trying to defend herself, and said softly, "I...that's just my weakness for a while."

"No one cares about your mental journey." The puppeteer sneered, "The reason why I spare your life is because the current situation is obviously very wrong."

Lin Sanjiu was reminded like this, looked around carefully, and finally realized that they had changed the environment again.The sky was dark and the wind was howling; the road was battered and cracked, and the overturned car stretched under the sky until it touched a gray brick wall like a city wall.

"Is this another copy?" she asked softly, thinking of the Indian in the convenience store.As he said, he really disappeared with the store—perhaps because she had cracked the first level, the data body simply and neatly erased the copy.

"No." The puppeteer turned around, leaving only her back.

After a while, he slowly spoke again.He seemed to be clenching his teeth tightly, and there were even veins floating on his side cheeks: "...This is my hometown."

　It feels like the starting point has swallowed a lot of my list of rewards and monthly tickets...Earlier, I clearly saw several rewards coming, but when I opened it, almost only He Shibi, who was hidden in the little fox fairy reward in the city, survived.Thanks to He Shibi, we are so familiar, so why not be polite! (quickly put away)

I have to go to bed early. After all, I have to go to the hospital early tomorrow morning. I have never had an operation. Although this is a minor operation, I am still very nervous.After finishing, I can only drink liquid food, it's too miserable...
