Doomsday Wonderland

...After the words faded away, Ying Shui'an hadn't moved for a long time.

He was leaning on the edge of the bathtub, one arm hanging down in the bathtub, and his head resting crookedly on his arm. That messy black hair, it was only now that I realized it was stained with blood. Under the incandescent lamp, there were wet, curly locks of dark light.

Qiao Yuansi stared blankly at his lowered eyelashes, waiting for the next time they trembled. While waiting, his previous narration replayed over and over again in her mind - she was still subconsciously trying to digest its content.

It's hard to imagine that Sakura Mizugan has only been away for a short period of ten days, but he has done so many things and traveled to so many places - but when he told it, it was as if he was telling someone else's story, his tone was steady, He speaks clearly, and if you close your eyes and ignore the smell of blood, it sounds almost harmless.

On the contrary, his body was gradually sinking.

His body felt like a piece of solid ice, falling toward the dark and deep seabed, gradually becoming heavier, quieter, and colder, becoming less and less like a living person. Only the occasional trembling eyelashes can remind people that this is not a white plaster statue.

"...It's quite ridiculous for me to be like this. I lost my life and didn't save you." After a moment of silence, he closed his eyes and said: "Even if I know you are no longer here, I still have to crawl back and die."

Before falling into silence completely, he gave a last hoarse laugh: "I don't know if you will still think of me after many years."

After this sentence, Qiao Yuansi waited for a full ten minutes, but never waited for a word or the trembling of his eyelashes.

She raised her hand, hesitated several times, and finally landed on Ying Shui'an's cheek. It's very cold. I don't know if it's because the night and the tiles have drained away the temperature, or - or some other reason.

The corners of his lips were slightly greenish-white, and they rustled slightly when his fingers touched them. If there was still tomorrow, there would be stubble here.

Qiao Yuanji whispered: "Sakura...Sakura Mizugan?"

As soon as the name was spoken, it was hung up in the dead silent air, pressing on the nerves of people's ears for a long time. She lowered her head and listened, waiting for his response, but there was no sound of breath.

Even outside it was eerily silent. Maybe something went wrong with Sakura Mizugan's actions, leaving her alone in the world.

"Are you still alive?" she asked.

"Can you hear me?"

"I'm so hungry. Is there anything to eat at home?"

"Hello?"

Pass out.

Qiao Yuansi held on to the other side of the bathtub and slowly climbed out. She was weak and had to be careful not to touch Sakura Mizukigan who was leaning on the bathtub, so a simple movement of climbing over the bathtub made her breathe heavily for a while.

She held on to the wall and wanted to walk out of the bathroom step by step, but her bare feet stepped on the cold and slippery blood-red tiles. After only two steps, her feet slipped and she fell heavily on the side of Yingshui Bank. In a pool of blood.

Qiao Yuansi wiped his face with his blood-stained hands. When he got up again, a face with bloodstains was reflected in the bathroom mirror, as if he was infected again. The pain is not very painful, but I haven't eaten and am a bit cold.

The door to the living room was always open, and the cold night wind filled the house like an ice cellar. The blood on the floor outside was almost dry, and the deep purple and black color soaked into the wood texture.

She finally moved into the kitchen. There was half a box of expired biscuits in the cabinet, and she ate all the crumbs. He hadn't eaten for several days, and as soon as his stomach came into contact with food, he felt heavy cramps. Qiao Yuansi sat on the ground in silence for a while. After the pain passed and his strength recovered slightly, he stood up again.

...that's ridiculous.

She walked into the living room barefoot and thought numbly. From beginning to end, Sakura Mizugan was alone in his head, talking to himself about saving her, even if she didn't need to be saved at all. He left alone and came back before dying, thinking to himself that he had failed - this was all ridiculous.

In his story, he returned to the small town of Jide and spent seven or eight days finding "Patient Zero." He was the first person in the world to complete the entire process of transformation, and he is still alive and well. Then, he followed the clues he had obtained and exchanged his life for something he had no use for.

When passing the bathroom, Qiao Yuansi stopped, thought for a while, and walked in again.

She knew that she should call the police immediately, ask someone to tow Yingshuigan away, and then call the school to find a way to keep her job...

However, it’s okay to do those things later.

Just think of it as coaxing him and do what he wants... Anyway, she has nothing to lose.

Qiao Yuanji approached the bank of Sakura Water and gently raised his hand that was hanging in the bathtub. The hand was so white that it was frightening, and the joints were so cold and hard that they were starting to feel stiff; she tried several times before she finally took off the silver ring from his index finger.

After she walked into the living room, she looked back at the bathroom.

Amidst the "buzzing" sound of incandescent lamps, the bathroom was washed into a pale white color, except for a motionless man in black clothes and black hair weighing heavily on the bathtub. The skin exposed from his collar and from under his black hair was so white that it almost blended in with the bathtub and white walls; but the tile floor was pierced by large swaths of blood - there were only three types of blood left in the entire bathroom. Colors: Snow white, jet black, and blood red.

Qiao Yuansi had that indescribable feeling again.

She felt that she wanted to do three things at the same time: first, call the police and return to normal life; second, walk into the kitchen and plunge the knife into her abdomen; third, follow Sakura Mizugan's example and rotate and open the knife. Silver ring.

The first option was in no hurry, and the second option confused her so much that she ended up doing the third one.

After all, she was not an evolver, so she didn't grasp the details of use well. A bunch of various objects fell from Qiao Yuansi's hand with a "crash", hitting the ground with a bang, and almost hurt her toes. There was a gun inside, but luckily it didn't go off when it fell.

She put the gun in her lower back, knelt on the floor, and searched around according to Sakura Mizugan's description.

[Time Back] It looks like a digital roulette wheel removed from an old telephone. It also comes with an instruction manual written by someone unknown. Judging from the yellowed piece of paper, it seems to have been there for a long time.

"...can you dial 888?"

It seemed that there was no need to transfer the numbers one by one, but Qiao Yuansi was afraid of making mistakes, so he read the instructions for use twice, and decided to transfer the string of numbers one by one in a while.

Can you really go back to any point in time in the past by using this item?

Amazing.

Qiao Yuansi had already walked to the car before he remembered that he didn't have any shoes on. She had no intention of going back to put on shoes. She stepped barefoot on the concrete floor and bent down to look into the back seat of the car.

As of this moment, "Patient Zero" is still alive - alive, but her body is tightly bound, her eyes are closed, and she is lying in the back seat of her car, temporarily unconscious.

Qiao Yuansi opened the car door, dragged the man out, and let him fall to the ground with a "clud"; "Patient Zero"'s head bounced several times on the ground with the shock, just like the effect of a cartoon.

A light came on in a nearby room, and a shadow walked up from behind the curtains, quietly looking in her direction - Qiao Yuansi knew it was a neighbor, and didn't take it seriously at all.

"The user can pick a target person (it can be someone else or himself), use that person's timeline as a benchmark, and go back to a certain point in the past. The duration is only one minute."

The instructions for use say this: "It should be noted that if the time baseline belongs to someone else, the user must capture the target person in order to go back to his past time point with him. This also requires that the user You must be at least in the same world as the target person at the time for the prop to be effective. Otherwise, the user will return to the world he was in at that minute, wasting this precious minute."

That's why.

She already knew what Sakura Mizugan wanted to do. Kill Patient Zero and everything would return to its original state. But Sakuramizugan couldn't go back to the time before the end of the world and make changes - because he wasn't in this world at all at that time.

He said that the item he had risked his life to obtain could no longer be used because of a small discrepancy. He also apologized to her for "being tricked by fate"... Sakuramizugan was so stupid.

He was indeed not in this world at that time, but she was.

Isn't it ridiculous to dig her out while talking to yourself like that?

Before dialing the number, Qiao Yuansi looked at the face of "Patient Zero". It turns out that the source of everything is that he looks like this, an ordinary middle-aged man.

She grabbed "Patient Zero"'s shoulders and dialed the numbers one by one. There was a flapping sound in the night sky, but she did not raise her head to look; the bird was very annoying and would fly over from time to time. UU Reading www.uukanshu. net She is used to it.

[Time Backtracking] indeed took effect. The night faded into day, and the day faded into night, and the scenery changed. The world was like a wheel that had been turned back. Qiao Yuansi realized almost numbly that his vision had soon become blurred.

She imagined that at home, Sakura Mizugan stood up again, the blood returned to his body, and he returned to another world, not knowing who Qiao Yuanji was.

When the world returns to its original state, the apocalypse will be like it never happened. All the evolvers who came here because of the apocalypse will naturally not come; the Sakuramizugan who is alive and will continue to live, and the Sakuramizugan in the bathroom, have since become two parallel lines.

And she and Patient Zero were like hamsters in a wheel that stayed put no matter how much they ran. When the wheel stopped, they were still together.

The time point selected was before Patient Zero's transformation, so [Time Backtracking] brought Qiao Yuansi to the place where he was a year ago - the rope on the man's body disappeared, his consciousness recovered, and he had just been in an office He hung up the phone at the table and raised his head. This appears to be his office, with a world map on the wall.

Only a minute, she thought.

"Who are you?" The man was taken aback and asked loudly, his face twisted slightly.

Really, I really don’t know why I would do such a thing.

Qiao Yuanji raised the muzzle of his gun and put the bullet into his forehead.
