Doomsday Wonderland

"Just such a shabby place?"

Bohemia couldn't hold it back and let out a low exclamation. "This world - it's so disgusting and so priceless? Ah, of course, I'm not questioning your lord..."

"It's normal for a miscellaneous fish like you not to know."

The puppet master sat far away, his face and figure shrouded in shadow. Only when he turned his head slightly, the glitter in the corner of his eyes dimmed and then dimmed.

"For the evolvers who understand the world, Edible Truth is a resting place where people can relive their old dreams." He only said this sentence, and suddenly stopped talking, but from Doctor Cat to Mia the Bastard Fish, No one dared to urge him out.

Behind them, Lin Sanjiu slowly stood up from the ground, her body still trembling with waves of dizziness.

"This world..." she asked hoarsely, "what is going on?"

The puppeteer was silent for a while. After a few seconds, half of his face trembled, as if from the deepest part of the night, a sneer gradually emerged - when everyone present could not help but shudder, they heard his voice softly say: "Since You all want to know so much, you might as well go and see with your own eyes.”

Alarm bells rang in Bohemia's mind, but before she could muster up the courage to say "Actually, I'm not very interested", the figure not far away suddenly stood up silently - he just got up and stood beside her. The shadow of the "chair" immediately split to the left and right, splitting into two independent black shadows, and then stood up.

"Follow me."

...If you don’t want to become a puppet being used as a chair, you’d better just follow it obediently.

Although everyone is of different species, their thoughts are exactly the same. Lin Sanjiu swayed and seemed to still be a little unsteady; Bohemia reluctantly stretched out her hand to support her, thought for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Let me ask you, did you talk to the puppet master before? What happened when we were alone? That piece of saliva towel..."

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the mosaic next to him saw the opportunity, turned around, and rushed out into the night in the blink of an eye. Its movements were silent and too fast to catch. By the time a few people reacted, it had already run so far that they couldn't even see its shadow. Only one sentence remained in their minds: "Now that the game is over, I But I won’t accompany you anymore, now we don’t owe each other anything, so goodbye!”

"I forgot to trap it with my consciousness!" Bohemia woke up and gritted her back teeth and said, "This guy is really good!"

After leaving the game, she never thought of continuing to "detain" Descartes; the latter also remained motionless, as if he had forgotten about it - Bohemia's consciousness is extremely fast, so it He waited until she was distracted before escaping.

"Let it be, it's just a worry if you keep it." Lin Sanjiu took a breath, "Don't hold my arm so hard..."

"But……"

Bohemia looked blankly in the direction where Descartes was fleeing, but ultimately said nothing.

By the time this group of injured, disabled and one cat finally stopped, they had already gone deep into the city. At this time, the night is at its deepest and dawn is approaching. Almost all the buildings on the roadside are dark, forming a forest of shadows of varying heights standing under the night. There were only street lamp posts arranged randomly one after another, casting irregular clusters of gray light on their path.

"...Does this kind of street lamp lead to car accidents every day?" Doctor Cat asked in a low voice full of suspicion.

The street lights are crooked. Sometimes there are several lamp posts clustered together, and sometimes you can't even see one after ten minutes of walking. The people who built the street lights were probably just as drunk as the people who built the buildings. Even in the middle of the road, on the steps beside the road, and in the sewer openings, there were street lamp posts of uneven thickness drilled out.

Not far away, at the edge of a dim white streetlight, was where the puppet master stopped. The tall and thin back eroded the light, forming a deep black.

"S-Sir," Bohemia glanced at Lin Sanjiu and saw that she was still looking lost and distraught, so she had no choice but to ask, "We are here...because, because..."

"Don't you want to know the truth about this world?" The puppet master's cool voice seemed to contain a hint of sarcasm, "Then come and meet the master of this world."

"Do you mean that truth... Where is it?" Such a face-to-face conversation made Bohemia's voice become weaker and weaker due to guilt and fear, and she glanced at Doctor Cat as if asking for help - what a pity. The height difference was too big, and the tacit understanding was not good. Her eyes only met a round head and two pointed ears.

"Isn't this everywhere?" The puppet master smiled mockingly, turned his head slightly, looked at Lin Sanjiu and said, "The meaning of life that you are thinking about is all here, why, you can't give it to your dear street lamp?" A bow?"

Bohemia and Doctor Cat made a choking sound together.

"What?" She even forgot who the person opposite was, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net "Road, street lamp? Why a street lamp?"

Lin Sanjiu stood blankly in the middle of the road, looking back and forth between the puppet master and the street lamp. The gray street lamp was thick at the bottom and thin at the top, stretched into the air, and then as if it suddenly remembered that it still needed to illuminate, a circle of dim light sparsely emerged from the semicircular "head".

Even though he knew clearly what he had missed, even though the loss was still throbbing in the hollow of his chest, when Lin Sanjiu saw the street light, he was still shocked and speechless by the sense of absurdity that hit him. .

"I..." She stared at the street light. After a few seconds, she stared blankly at the buildings of different shapes on the roadside. "Is this the goal in life that I have found? I clearly remember that it is a very important and meaningful thing..."

"Take care of the truth, safeguard the truth, and live in harmony with the truth...why is it not important?" A half-sneer appeared on the puppet master's bloodless white face. "Without the shit that blinds your eyes, can't you recognize the meaning of your life?"

Bohemia struggled and hesitated for a long time, but finally lost to curiosity, and asked Lin Sanjiu in a low voice: "I, I still don't quite understand..."

The person who answered her was the puppet master.

"Every street lamp and every building you see is not built by man. They are living things that grow from the ground, that's why they look so strange. They have thinking, like to claim to be the truth, and are called They are so blind that they think they are servants of the truth. These so-called truths have another name," he paused, his voice like a cold wind hitting his skin in winter: "...Bacteria Class. Or you can think of them as mushrooms."
