Chapter 1216
... Lin Sanjiu stood in place, still clutching Bohemian robes in his hands, and tassels gently brushed her knees in the dark; What you can smell in your nose is undoubtedly the unique fragrance of the puppet master.
"Bohemia?" She gave a tentative cry, but the response was only silence. She tried again: "... Puppet master?"
No matter who she called, the person she caught didn't react at all, even didn't move. Instead, she heard Kurosawa Ji's very impatient voice: "what the hell are you doing? Light!"
Lin Sanjiu couldn't explain clearly now, so he had to quickly search his card library. The gift bag gave her a lot of flashlights, but it's a pity that she lost one of them. Up to now, she doesn't even know if there are any left; At this time, only a "pa" sound was heard not far away, and the light immediately dispelled the darkness and filled the field of vision.
From the absolute darkness, such a dazzling bright light suddenly lit up, she couldn't help squinting, subconsciously lowered her head, and wanted to raise her hand to block it - that is, at this moment, she suddenly froze.
The man standing in front of her was very tall, far higher than Bohemia, but he was covered with a bohemian robe. This person will not be a puppet master, because the robe clearly outlines the outline of a head; Under Bohemia's robe, a long cloth sheet covering his body was exposed, which tightly caged him from head to foot.
Who did the red faced man catch?
Lin Sanjiu hurriedly retreated for two steps, and his eyes were still staring at the man. He didn't even have time to glance around until Kurosawa Ji suddenly whispered, "stop!"—— She was so excited that she stopped in time.
"What's going on..."
She turned her head mumbling, and her eyes fell on the reason why heizeji stopped her.
At first, she didn't understand what she saw at all - no, it should be said that after staring at it for several seconds, Lin Sanjiu still didn't understand. There were so many questions in her mind that she didn't know where to ask or whether she was in an illusion for a long time.
Her feet are ordinary floors, which are no different from other places in the hospital; But a few inches away from her heel, the floor melted like butter. It lost its original shape and texture, and like a spiraling sand dune, it succumbed and retreated in front of outsiders. Above the floor——
In order to describe it, Lin Sanjiu had to search for the right words in his mind for a while.
"I understand that things here look difficult to understand," NPC's voice shook her out of her bleary eyes, raised her finger, and motioned, "but I'm not kidding you. This is really a room with dead people counting."
The room is surprisingly large. When you look in from the door, the wall at the other end is only the size of a fingernail. It is not so much a room as a huge warehouse. In the room, there are tree shaped white objects made of unknown materials. Each "white tree" extends many branches, which are arranged neatly until the end of the room, like a fruit orchard dyed white by heavy snow. The only open space without "white trees" is where they stand at the moment, that is, near the door.
"Every branch represents a dead person," NPC was the only person with normal expression sitting under the wall at this time. "As I said, as long as Wei Xing is right about the hidden way to earn points, I can make a change and take out the points for you..."
Now, whether you can get dead points has become the last problem in Lin San's brain. The sight of white trees in front of her was not at all wonderful compared with the things not far behind her.
She glanced at the tall man with a cloth robe beside her, and looked at the things behind her for a while. It is obviously something that should not exist in this place, pushing the floor away like waves; If you want to describe it, it's like someone cut off a piece of the night in the jungle and squeezed into the space of this hospital - thick layers of branches and leaves protrude from the floor, close, and you can smell the faint smell of grass and soil in the forest. At its junction with the hospital, the light and material seemed to be slightly distorted, blurred and fluctuating, as if a virtual shadow were soaking in another virtual shadow.
"What is this...?" She asked softly, as if afraid of startling the thing.
NPC asked, "what do you think this is?"
Lin Sanjiu stared at it in a daze. When she spoke again, she heard herself say: "... This is another copy."
"Pa pa" made a few crisp noises, which made her almost jump up - NPC slapped hard twice and exclaimed, "did you guess it? Because there is no basis for you to speculate here. It's amazing that you can guess it with one guess!"
Is it really a copy? What's going on? Why is there a copy in the copy?
Her mind was almost blown up by problems; At this time, Kurosawa Ji made a deep sound from his throat, and he didn't know what it meant. Lin Sanjiu followed his reputation and saw him clearly for the first time.
At first glance, he looked no different from before entering the room. At this time, he was standing under the other side of the wall with his arms in his arms, even his smelly face was the same; But after she looked twice more, she suddenly froze.
Behind Kurosawa Kei, there was an identical and distorted edge of light and shadow, but from the flash of color, what was wrapped in the light and shadow was not the jungle, but something else. The scale of that thing was obviously smaller than that beside Lin Sanjiu, and it was almost invisible because of Kurosawa Ji's body - but after a closer look, her heart couldn't help clicking.
He didn't just stand there.
He was "caught" by that copy.
"Don't come here," Kurosawa Ji seemed to see through what she wanted at a glance, and said calmly, "this thing behind me... This copy, is always trying to squeeze out."
"What do you mean?" Lin San Jiu rubbed his temples hard, "do you... Do you mean you're blocking it with your body... Squeezing out?"
Kurosawa Ji snorted noncommittally from his nose. "Anyway, I don't need you to come here. Who's that person?"
He always didn't like others to help him - Lin Sanjiu followed his meaning, turned around and looked at the tall man covered by the cloth robe, feeling that he had never been so confused in his life. There are so many problems that it doesn't seem to matter which one to start from; She went up, stretched out her hand, grabbed her robe, and whispered, "I don't know... Let's have a look."
The tassel robe belonging to Bohemia was pulled down from the man with a crash, and another layer of long cloth sheet also slipped down - the person below shivered slightly, as if he wanted to move, but stopped himself.
... under the two layers of cloth, Lin Sanjiu's eyes fell on an empty shoulder.
There is nothing above the clavicle.
On the body below the clavicle, wear the same patient suit as other patients; The patient's suit was only loosely pulled on, and she could see the black tight leather inside at a glance.
"Isn't it a living person?" Wei Xing, who was standing next to NPC, was a little surprised: "I saw the net move in my pocket before..."
Lin Sanjiu felt as if he were dreaming and threw away his robe blankly. She reached out and pulled up one of the other's hands - it was indeed the puppet master's hand. She remembered how pale his skin was, and the cyan blood vessels on the back of his hand were faintly like the veins of leaves. His fingers were cold, so thin that only slender joints were left. When he didn't exert force, it was like ice that would break in a break.
But - but——
She quickly picked up the Bohemian robe and covered it over the puppet master again. Sure enough, as just now, the cloth fell down the shape of a head over the shoulder where there was nothing.
"Who the hell is this person?" Kurosawa Ji probably didn't like falling into confusion, and his tone worsened a little: "does he have a head or not?"
"Can you hear me?" Lin Sanjiu didn't take off his robe and asked, staring at the Puppeteer's body without blinking. "You... Are you a puppet master?"
The man under the cloth raised a hand. Under the gaze of several people, the hand swung left and right.
"No, no?" Lin Sanjiu's forehead was sweating. The other party is obviously audible, otherwise he will not raise his hand to respond. But he is not a puppeteer, and who will he be? No, no, if he is a puppet master, how can he walk around without a head... "Who are you?"
The man under the cloth raised his hands. This time, he stretched out his two arms and made a big circle in the air together - this is an action that can't be done by killing the puppet master. Lin Sanjiu's heart sank. At this moment, he realized that this man was really not a puppet master.
... what is the situation?
"What do you mean?" She murmured, "is it... A big thing you're talking about?"
As soon as she said this, she almost choked on her own saliva.
"Big - big witch!" Lin Sanjiu jumped up in situ, "big witch!"
