Doomsday Wonderland

Lin Sanjiu grabbed a few seat belts, pulled them with both hands, and with a short burst of sound, she immediately regained her freedom. She kicked the driver's seat and rushed forward with the person in the seat. The driver didn't even have time to turn his head before he was squeezed into the front of the car - the car screamed, lost direction, and crashed into the front of the car. A store wall; sparks flickered and jumped into the night, and the sound of broken bones and the steering wheel breaking into several pieces filled the entire car.

When she jumped out of the car, the driver's intermittent moans came out from under the deformed steel. The frame of the car was still intact. Lin Sanjiu opened the door and squinted for a few seconds, finally distinguishing where the driver was and where the crushed debris was.

"Who asked you to come?" she asked breathlessly.

Half of his face, covered with black and red bloodstains, was just panting and couldn't answer a word.

The person sent to hunt her failed so easily. This made Lin Sanjiu surprised and even a little unhappy - did they underestimate her like this? Not even willing to send someone with high combat power?

"Hey, wake up!" she called again.

The originally silent night was stirred up, and vague noises emerged from the deep undercurrent. She glanced in the direction of the noise and saw a few lights shining into a line in the night; the engine hummed low, like those taxis just now.

Lin Sanjiu's heart moved, and she immediately opened the back door and got into the car, lying half down on the back seat. Brighter and brighter lights continued to shine through the car windows, and with the sound of several brakes, there were conversations among several other drivers.

"Oh, it's really him!"

"How do you drive a car? How can you drive into someone's house on a flat road?"

"Stop talking, let's see how the person is doing first."

...To be honest, this was very different from what Lin Sanjiu expected.

Could it be that these drivers didn't know about it?

A dark figure knocked on the window glass and asked her through the door: "Hey! Are you okay? Can you still move?"

Lin Sanjiu still had her eyes closed and said nothing. After a few seconds, she felt a ray of light pass through the glass and reflect on her face; the light beam swept back and forth on her body several times. A man stood outside and muttered: "I can't see any injuries on him." …”

The injured driver was forcibly pulled out of the crushed driver's seat by several people. His flesh scraped against the steel and made a teeth-piercing sound. If he was not an evolutionist, being pulled like this would probably be very serious. It's hard to wake up again.

"Why does this guy in the back seat look familiar to me?" another voice said.

Lin Sanjiu's eyelids opened slightly, and her vision was filled with blurred reflections of her eyelashes.

"Don't tell me, I can see a little bit." The man holding the flashlight, his face was hidden in the darkness behind the strong light, making it difficult to see clearly: "Have you ever been in a car before?"

"Stop talking nonsense," one of the men who had just placed the injured driver in the open space couldn't help shouting after hearing this: "Hurry up and get the person out, and then notify the organization - you two still want to stay here all night ?”

The two black figures standing outside the car window were silent and unresponsive. The flashlight shined directly on Lin Sanjiu's face, making her unable to see anything clearly for a moment. Then she heard the car door click.

"I...remembered...coming..."

It was obviously the same voice as before, but now it sounded like a breath of death spewing out of the throat of a sleepwalker—or a fallen species. Lin Sanjiu's heart tightened. At the same time as the car door was opened, consciousness surged out like a wave. The two people outside the door were knocked to the ground at the same time, and the flashlight rolled out.

"What's going on?" The other two drivers were startled and ran over in a hurry: "Hey, what are you doing!"

In the constantly rolling flashlight light, their snow-white eyes widened, and their pupils shrank by almost half. There was a "ho ho" sound in their throats, as if there were bugs stuck in their throats trying to crawl out. The two dragged their hands and feet and slowly got up from the ground. A pair of protruding eyeballs in the shadow seemed to be about to roll down from their faces at any time.

"He...what happened to them?"

The two drivers who had just arrived were stunned. One of the short and thin men glanced at Lin Sanjiu, suddenly turned around and ran away, shouting as he ran, "I'm not an evolver. What grudges you have against them has nothing to do with me!"

The man he left behind cursed in a low voice, and took out the belt from his waistband with his backhand - as soon as the belt touched the ground, it immediately raised its head like a snake, hovering faintly in the air. He looked at the two companions who were staggering forward like degenerates, and at Lin Sanjiu, and stepped back step by step, with a look of shock on his face, but he didn't seem to know who to watch out for.

"I didn't do this," Lin Sanjiu stared at the two people walking towards her and said without looking back, "They wanted to attack me."

The flashlight flickered to a stop, and its light fell on her body.

The man holding the belt was suddenly confused, and then his eyes stopped wandering, and just stayed motionless on her face.

"You seem familiar..." He murmured, "I seem to have seen you somewhere?"

In just a few minutes, she had heard this sentence at least three or four times. Lin Sanjiu had seen with her own eyes the consequences of these words - she jumped up and jumped onto the roof of the car; at the same time, the snake-like belt suddenly tore the air under her feet, carrying it with her. The roar shattered the ground.

"I think...I remembered..."

The man holding the belt lowered his head, and his eyeballs rolled up, as if someone had suddenly hung him by the neck. He looked normal a few seconds ago, but in the span of a sentence, he became exactly like his companions.

The driver who initially attacked her also went through the same process.

Long Er's words came to her mind again: "No matter how you run away, you can never escape the pursuer..."

Lin Sanjiu vaguely understood.

She glanced at the people under the car - these people were all evolved people working odd jobs to earn a living at the bottom of the Twelve Worlds, and their abilities and combat power were all too low to be afraid of; she thought for a moment, reached out and took off the [Mask], and then called out [Ability Polishing Agent], raising the silver light to illuminate his original face.

A trace of confusion flashed across the faces of the three people under the car at the same time. They stood there blankly, as if they suddenly forgot what they were going to do; after a few seconds, the man holding the belt took a breath as if waking up from a dream - and then the other two people also rubbed it His eyes returned to normal when he raised his head again.

"What's going on?" Someone muttered in a low voice, "I remember that the old man was in a car accident?"

"Why are you just standing here?" Another person glanced at Lin Sanjiu and asked his companion, "What are we doing?"

……it is as expected.

Lin Sanjiu pursed her lips, and her heart gradually became clearer.

These people seemed to be hypnotized. When they remember that they have seen Long Er and his mask, they will reflexively enter the attack mode... In this way, as long as she does not wear Long Er's mask, she should not trigger other people's reactions.

But why choose these mediocre people to hypnotize? Isn't this a waste of resources?

While those people were still chatting in low voices, she quietly jumped out of the car and walked into a nearby narrow alley. The familiar darkness immediately swallowed and enveloped her, allowing her to escape from the sight of the street lamp and those people like a fish; there seemed to be a few shouts behind her, but she was extremely fast and quickly merged into the night. Several people shook off.

Following the direction in her memory, she found the "Bereaved Dog" hotel. This small, shabby hotel seemed deserted at three o'clock in the morning - only the reception desk at the door still had faint light and sound.

The fat, dark-skinned, gorgeously dressed shopkeeper still looked as energetic as she did a few months ago; she was sitting at the door, staring intently at a huge crystal ball, which was flowing like water. Pop a variety of snacks into your mouth. When she heard someone opening the door, Dali said without raising her head: "Twenty dragons a night, no credit."

"What are you looking at?"

Dali was startled and raised her head, then smiled: "Hey, you are a rare visitor."

With her unique energy, she babbled: "Someone brought back a TV series from an unknown apocalyptic world a while ago. The plot is very interesting - it's a pity that it's just their aesthetic, it's a bit hard to describe... What, are you staying in the hotel again?”

Seeing a familiar face again, Lin Sanjiu breathed a sigh of relief. She turned her eyes and saw that every corridor behind the reception desk was empty, and whispered: "No, I'm here to see a friend."

Dali glanced at her a little suspiciously: "Are we really friends? You can't cause trouble for me!" She couldn't hold her tongue when she mentioned things related to the hotel; Lin Sanjiu didn't wait to interrupt her, His eyes were attracted to the crystal ball.

If the two people kissing in the crystal ball were the heroes and heroines of the TV series, the world in which it was created would be too... too strange.

Even though Lin Sanjiu was pretending that something was wrong, she still couldn't help but look at the crystal ball a few more times. The center of the male protagonist's face is covered with a large black mole, and a few thick long hairs emerge from the mole, constantly rubbing the heroine's face during the kiss; the scene in the crystal ball is not very stable. , the screen flashed, and the heroine immediately opened a pair of eyes the size of mung beans, looked at the black mole affectionately, and smiled with broken yellow and gray teeth.

"Look, I told you," Dali squinted her eyes and looked at the crystal ball: "If the plot hadn't been so good, it would have been really hard to watch."

"Is this...TV?"

"That's right." Dali patted the crystal ball, and the picture became stable again: "Although the quality is average, it is much more cost-effective than a real TV. Otherwise, you have to buy the matching generator and satellite antenna, which is too expensive. ”

Lin Sanjiu said "Yeah": "Then I'll go find my friend. You see."

Dali turned her head, looked at the crystal ball and waved to her, while touching a phone on the table - this was probably an old material found in the apocalyptic world, and it looked a bit like the landline phone she used to use when she was a child. , the paint on the microphone was stained.

Ryuji's room was close to the inside of the hotel, at the very end. Lin Sanjiu had just turned into the corridor when the two ugly and disturbing TV actors suddenly appeared in front of her eyes - their kissing movement had been slowed down ten times, and she could clearly see those two actors. The long, thick, black hairs were stuck on the bumpy, red and white skin of the heroine.

"What are you doing?" She paused and immediately understood who did it, "Now is not the time for joking!"

"Who has time to play around with you?" Teacher Yi protested, "Look carefully!"

Lin Sanjiu could only reluctantly stare at the scene in front of her. A few seconds were stretched and slowed down into dozens of seconds, dragging their ugly appearance out of a torture; after watching it for a while, the picture finally flickered - that was the instability of the crystal ball playback.

"Don't judge so quickly, UUReading www.uukａnshu.net" Teacher Yi whispered, "Look."

The seemingly endless kissing scene was suddenly interrupted and cut into a picture that had nothing to do with the TV series. In front of the light blue background, a delicate and gender-difficult face smiled gently at her.

It was not a smile that was tolerant and kind, but a smile that was gentle but full of command.

There was no space for sound to be inserted into the frame for a few tenths of a second; the person with a delicate face and long hair held a photo in his hand. On the photo was a face that Lin Sanjiu was very familiar with - her own face. .

Even at such a slow speed, this picture still flashed by quickly, and then it switched to the two actors and actresses kissing. It flashed through my mind like lightning, but it clearly left a message that was not composed of words.

Teacher Yi sighed.

Lin Sanjiu had once seen a beer advertisement in Biluo Huangquan that could convey information without words - the same technique was obviously used in the picture just now. There is a saying that if specific pictures are played to people mixed with other messages at a speed invisible to the naked eye, people will subconsciously remember these pictures and fully accept them.

In other words, people are hypnotized without even realizing it.

She blinked and turned slowly. At the end of the corridor ahead, the white light from the reception desk was still lit.

In the dialogue of the TV series coming from the crystal ball, a vague voice stopped; and then there was a gentle "click" when the microphone was hung up.

"When you see this person," Lin Sanjiu murmured the message in her mind: "Notify me immediately and intercept her at all costs."

The floor creaked with the chairs.

Dally stood up.
