Chapter 579

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

That's great!

At the moment, Lin Sanjiu looked like her spirit had suddenly lost its normality: she jumped hard on the floor for several times, her legs were numb, and her boots were pounding the ground; When she opened and clenched her fingers again and again, she really felt the contraction of muscles and bones, and couldn't help but show a smile that would definitely be called "uncomfortable to see" by the Puppeteer.

As long as the body comes back, everything will be fine.

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

The goose was still standing in the same place, and her black bean like eyes were just opposite her four eyes - one person and one goose looked at each other for two seconds, but Lin Sanjiu didn't find the light full of character just now in its eyes; Behind the goose tail, a bag of potato chips was still lying on the ground quietly.

The puppet master did not follow to restore the original shape.

Is it too late? He can't be saved?

Lin Sanjiu took a few steps and squatted beside the goose. Just about to reach out to grab the potato chips on the ground, his action was frozen.

What do I want?

She asked herself such a question in her heart.

Do you want to take him now? Can he be saved? Besides, my consciousness is completely exhausted, and I have nothing left to help the puppet master anymore.

But after hesitating for a while, Lin Sanjiu slowly and reluctantly realized that these were all the reasons she lied to herself, all excuses.

There is only one real reason: if the Puppeteer dies in this copy, Ji Shanqing, Dr. cat and Hu Changzai will all be saved!

... that's the gift bag of "sister" in one breath. That's Hu Miaomiao, whose green eyes will shine when making a request. That's Hu Changzai, who blushes when he tells a lie.

This idea was so tempting that even Lin Sanjiu's fingers trembled slightly. With his life alone, in exchange for the chance of his three companions to survive - change or not?

According to her understanding of the puppet master, this is a guy who only remembers revenge but not gratitude; Even if she really took pains to restore him to human shape, as long as his goal is not achieved, he will probably never give up his gift bag.

But on second thought, only Cleveland needed to buy potato chips - this had nothing to do with the puppet master. The reason why he was also involved was that he found himself turned into potato chips and came to help Lin Sanjiu

In this way, the reason why the puppet master has not been turned into a human may be that he has not completed his own task - he may still be saved.

This guess was pressed down like a heavy dark cloud, and Lin Sanjiu's lower lip had been bitten white. The fate of four people may be in her mind.

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

... she picked up the shopping list on the ground.

When Lin Sanjiu slowly straightened up, her eyes never left the package of potato chips. The note she held tightly in her hand was constantly making a slight rustling sound, like withered leaves shivering in the autumn wind.

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

Lin Sanjiu was inexplicably flustered, and she didn't even know what she was afraid of - she took two steps back slowly at first, then suddenly turned around and ran away, running out of the aisle in the eyes of the goose, and didn't stop until she couldn't see the shelf of the puffed food anymore.

Holding the cash register with one hand, she couldn't help gasping deeply, as if the short distance just now had consumed her great physical strength. Knowing that the Puppeteer and the goose can't see themselves, Lin Sanjiu still has an illusion, as if she is being watched by someone.

She didn't expect that one day she would feel guilty about the puppet master——

The idea flashed through his mind. Lin Sanjiu suddenly raised his head, and the hairs behind him stood up.

She had no illusions because of guilt.

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

Lin Sanjiu walked back slowly for two steps, and his eyes were fixed on the open space - what did he want to do?

"Mrs Cleveland," said the same Indian speaker, raising her eyebrows abruptly, vaguely feeling as if there was something wrong - "it's great to see you again."

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

This time, the sound did not come from the horn; It was like talking face-to-face with someone. The Indian Accent clearly spread into her ears from a distance.

Before she made up her mind whether to respond, she just heard the invisible creature continue to say, "we don't have much time."

Is this also one of the copy tips? But the fourth hour is still far away - "what time?" She couldn't help asking.

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

The voice sounded flat, as if it was telling a long story. Compared with the enthusiasm of the briefing just now, it was like a different person.

No, it's not right. Lin Sanjiu's complexion gradually turned white, thinking in his heart that he shouldn't tell me these words——

"I just hope to work normally, but this time is different. As soon as I opened my eyes, I felt... The store had been moved, and someone was looking at me in the dark, looking at the store."

"I don't know who those people are or 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, but I may not see it in the future. Mrs. Cleveland, it's great to see you again. You should pay attention, they may come back soon -"

"Wait, where are you going?"

"I'm not going anywhere." The voice paused and suddenly sighed softly, "I'm here with my shop. I mean, I and it probably won't see it in the future."

Lin Sanjiu was stunned, but he didn't say a word.

"I sit here day after day, watching people come and go, leaving no trace. The only place I know and know in this world is this store, so I know that we don't have much time..."

The voice of the creature was still steady, without fluctuation, but the voice became smaller and smaller, lower and lower, until it disappeared. The silence was caged down again, and the air was still empty and there was no one.

After waiting for a few seconds, Lin Sanjiu was inspired, and suddenly reacted, immediately thinking of the puppet master; She turned around and ran back, plunging into the aisle - with her sudden brake, the soles of her boots made a sharp creak on the floor and punctured the air.

The goose was still standing where it was, but the bag of potato chips under its tail was missing.

"Where is your master?" Lin Sanjiu rushed forward, picked it up, and couldn't help looking around: "at this juncture, where has he gone?"

Where can a puppeteer go? Now he has no power of action, and it is impossible for him to leave according to his will - she refuses to think about the bad, and her heart beats, as if it was about to jump out of her chest; Holding the goose, Lin Sanjiu rushed to the door quickly, betting all his hopes on breaking through the door.

The feeling of that replica creature is not wrong. People who have been observing this store in the dark, of course, will only be data bodies. What made her most worried was that the voice said that she would disappear with the store - now that the copy creature has disappeared, is this copy of the store going to have an accident soon?

Lin Sanjiu was full of anxiety. Seeing that the glass door was not far away, he immediately kicked his foot and hit the glass straight. She used all her strength at once, and the strength of the collision was not even comparable to that of a locomotive - however, it was like a punch into the air, and she didn't hit anything.

With such a strong momentum, she fell into the air lightly, and immediately made her internal organs turn over, which was very uncomfortable for a moment - in the whirling earth, Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell whether she was lifted up or hit the ground, and even her limbs didn't know whether she was still in place.

The field of vision is dark and blooming, and this moment seems to be stretched, and there is no end; She floated in the half truth and half illusion. I don't know how long it took, and finally "bang", she felt her shoulders, body, legs, like a few stones in a broken pocket, hitting a hard thing one after another.

Lin Sanjiu gasped. He couldn't see anything at present, but he still struggled to get up, and he still held the goose in his arms. Although the goose was numb, it seemed that it was also shocked and did not live on her arm and flapped its wings.

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

As if a flash of electricity had passed, Lin Sanjiu's heart jumped and his eyesight gradually recovered. She found herself sitting on a withered and yellow grass, covered with bricks, garbage, plastic bags, broken cloth... Not far away, a man wrapped in black leather was looking at her with a sinister face.

"Are you, are you okay?" Lin San jumped up, "I thought you -- I thought you --"

"Disappointed?" Half of the Puppeteer's face wrinkled, revealing half a row of snow-white teeth. His coldness at this time was somewhat different, as if full of sharp murderous spirit: "your plan to let me live and die failed, and now it's my turn."

"No -- no, I --" Lin Sanjiu blushed, trying to explain himself, but he really couldn't find words to explain.

The Puppeteer did not move, nor did he attack her, but looked at her coldly in situ.

Lin San Jiu sighed.

"I don't want you to live or die by 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 explain and whispered, "I... it's just that I'm weak for a while."

"No one cares about your mental journey." The puppet master sneered, "the reason why I still keep you alive is because the situation is obviously wrong."

Lin Sanjiu was reminded, looked around carefully, and finally realized that they had changed their environment. The sky is dark, and the wind is bleak; The road was sunk and cracked, and the overturned car extended all the way under the sky until it touched a gray brick wall like a city wall.

"Is this another copy?" She asked softly, but she thought of Indians in convenience stores. As he said, he really disappeared with the store - maybe it was because she cracked the first level, and the data body simply wiped out the copy completely.

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

After a while, he began to speak slowly again. He seemed to be biting his teeth, and even veins appeared on his side cheeks: "... This is my hometown."
