Doomsday Wonderland

"Fry...pancake house."

Evolvers...so that's what they are.

He once thought that evolvers were "upgraded humans" with strong physical strength, high athletic ability, and many strange props - it turned out not to be the case. When a wild wolf lowers its head behind a rabbit, what scares it is not death, but the power of rules and destiny that has decreed everything and cannot resist it.

Wu Yiliu didn't even know if he had said what he said clearly, so he tried his best to ask again: "Is... is it a pancake house?"

The evolver behind him was silent for a while, and then suddenly smiled - the feeling of being held breathless by the deep sea immediately dissipated without a trace.

"Hey, you reacted very quickly. I didn't even turn this corner for a moment." The female voice said with a smile, "Come on, tell me, how did you guess it?"

To admit it so quickly...could that kind of momentum be deliberately unleashed to frighten him?

This thought flashed through Wu Yiliu's mind, but he didn't dare to think about it, because he knew that every minute and every second he had now was precious - he "caught" this evolver in the shortest time, otherwise once she left, The world is so big that he may never have the chance to see the Evolved Person again.

"First of all, everyone I talked to today is a shape-shifter whose deformation cannot be disguised. Secondly, when I asked about your whereabouts, I only went to nearby homes and shops to ask. I didn't see anyone on the street. Ask...So, you are not one of the people I am inquiring about, and it is unlikely that you happened to be around and heard me when I was inquiring about your whereabouts."

Wu Yiyanagi stammered: "Then...why do you know that I am asking about you? To you, I should be just one of the hundreds of ordinary people coming and going on the road, even if we pass each other. However, you won't realize that I'm different, because I haven't done anything eye-catching - I don't dare, after all, I haven't deformed myself. So how did you notice my existence? Where did you notice it?"

The evolver behind him still didn't say a word. If she hadn't said something just now, Ichiliu would have even doubted whether she would have left long ago.

"Besides me, the only people who know that I am looking for you are those who I have inquired about. If one of them is actually related to you and reports my actions to you, it will be easily explained... The reason why I guessed this is because the owner of the pancake house I asked was the only person so far who asked me more and more detailed questions than I asked him."

"Maybe he's just curious," she asked.

"Most people are just curious, why am I looking for the woman in the picture, what is our relationship, right? He doesn't care much about this kind of gossip. As a shape-shifter, he is very concerned about where I am going next. Why? He There was obviously no reason to care, but he confirmed to me twice whether I would definitely go in this direction next."

Wu Yiliu took a breath and continued: "It's so late... I originally thought I wouldn't be able to find you today."

The female evolution behind him moved - his whole body tensed up.

From his peripheral vision, someone sat down on the steps beside him. A pair of well-proportioned and strong legs wrapped in jeans stretched out, with a pair of black short boots on his feet. Even if the other party lost that intimidating aura, he still didn't dare to speak.

She bent down like a child and stretched her head to look at a willow in the house.

The blurry face that had only been seen on the surveillance screen finally became clear at this time: she had a pointed, almond-like small chin, a large handful of cloud-like curly hair, and a pair of black and clear eyes. Jen, soaked in milk chocolate brown skin, always reminds people of some kind of dessert.

... Was he just frightened by this girl who looked like the dessert?

Wu Yiliu mustered up the courage, turned around, and asked in a confrontational manner: "Have you turned the owner of the pancake house into your spy? Or is he your subordinate?"

"You've already guessed it, haven't you?" She shrugged, the denim jacket on her shoulders slid down, and she reached out to retrieve it. "You are quite clear-minded and thoughtful, but it's a pity that although your conclusion is right, it is just a coincidence."

"Why?"

"Do you think that a person whose face has a deformation that cannot be disguised cannot be an evolved person?" She smiled nonchalantly, "There are also evolved people who cannot see the deformation. As for pretending to be another person, that's right. It’s very common for us.”

Wu Yiliu almost jumped up on the spot. A doubt that had troubled him and Professor Qiao for a long time, unexpectedly, the missing piece of the answer was filled in here. He stammered: "Wait - wait, that means -"

The girl who looked like a chocolate pastry pretended to raise her wrist, looked at the empty watch, and said: "Let me look at the time... Oh, I have been here for almost nine months. Those who can't tell The transformed evolver should have started transforming a long time ago."

Her sense of humor is very cold, this thought occurred to Yaichi Liu. No, it didn't matter; she said she'd been here for almost nine months, and the transformation obviously didn't take that long. Based on their visa type, this suggests she arrived six months before the end of the world—turns out the transformation began three months earlier.

"This is not surprising. People who can withstand the radiation in their hometown may not be immune to the poison when they go to a poisonous world."

This point was not even mentioned by Professor Qiao.

"But... that's just because I don't have enough information." Yaichi Liu clasped his hands tightly and said, "In short, I think I have proven myself, right? My mind is not slow, and I know about evolvers and shapeshifters. thing, I—I am valuable to you.”

"Although you are quite smart, I have been living quite well these past few months without you." She leaned on the steps behind her, her face disappeared from his sight, and her voice continued: " If I don’t need you, you have no value.”

"You need."

Yaichi Liu had completely calmed down at this time and said slowly: "It's not just you...all the evolvers need me. It's just that you haven't realized this yet."

The toes of the pair of black short boots suddenly hit each other twice, as if they were interested. "Why do we need you?"

Wu Yiliu didn't answer. He just turned around, looked at her, stretched out a hand, and introduced himself: "My name is Yayanagi."

The girl lowered her thick, black and curly eyelashes and looked at his hand, as if it were a branch sticking out from the roadside. She had no interest in taking the initiative to get close to it and get a scratch. "I'm Myron," she said, her hands still on the steps.

I don’t know if that’s her real name. Just when Yachiyanagi thought of this, he saw her tilt her head and smile, saying, “Wow, I haven’t exchanged names with an ordinary person for a long time.”

"Don't you wonder why I know so much?" he asked.

Mailon raised his head and smiled. A thin milky white necklace was placed around his smooth toffee-colored neck.

"If you are like me and have lived in the apocalyptic world for so many years, you will not be surprised by this kind of thing. Various worlds, diverse human beings, and endlessly evolving stories... In a world I don't know In the corner, God knows what unbelievable and unimaginable things are happening. If even this is too rare, I will be exhausted. "

Professor Qiao sitting in her temple, drinking tea with her head down, suddenly appeared in Wu Yiliu's mind.

"Besides, I think," Mailon became more enthusiastic, and continued: "The most taboo thing about living in a doomsday world is to use a cognitive framework that you don't even know is correct or not to apply a cognitive framework to the world in front of you. This is unacceptable. People who resist the different attitudes of the world and human beings when they think it is impossible are too rigid, how can they survive?"

Great, she is an open-minded person... He is really lucky to meet such an evolutionist at the beginning of the plan.

People get to know each other through communication. Yaichiliu immediately answered as if chatting: "That makes sense. By the way, how many years did you say? You seem to be about the same age as me..."

"I'm 42 years old," Myron said easily, "but don't measure my life experience by the forty years you ordinary people have."

He's only three years younger than his mother? Wu Yiliu suppressed his surprise, thought for a moment, and said, "Then do you mind if I ask you a few questions?"

"Okay," Myron said. He was easy to talk but not easy to fool. "Anyway, you used a hook to whet my appetite. You must make good use of this opportunity. But let me tell you, you know I can crush you as soon as I reach out." Damn you, you still dare to do this, you are so brave."

Wu Yiliu didn't dare to say that he almost cried just now. Fortunately, Myron didn't look threatening at all, so he more or less plucked up the courage to go down as planned.

"First of all... is it really impossible to produce local evolvers in this world?"

He was originally ready to give an explanation to Mellon, but he didn't expect her to simply answer: "No."

That's right, this is what Sakuramizugan discovered in less than a week. She has been here for nine months.

"Is it because it's not as chaotic and dangerous as the apocalyptic world?" Seeing her nodding again, Ichiyanagi asked: "So... do you evolvers have any means to help ordinary people evolve?"

Mailon quickly caught the implication of his words. He raised his eyelashes and his dark eyes shone faintly. "You want to evolve?"

Does he want to evolve?

Although he doesn't know much about evolutionaries, he has a basic understanding: it is a life of constant reincarnation and separation, wandering and uncertainty, and life and death. UU Reading www.uukansｈhu.net Compared with this future, as long as the shape is changed, there will be a peaceful and peaceful life, and the years will be as normal... It just needs to keep stepping back step by step.

He knew that if it were a hundred or a thousand people, there wouldn't be another person who would make the same choice as him.

"I don't want to, but I have to evolve."

Mailon said "Oh" - Wu Yiliu's serious and almost heavy announcement seemed to her like a bird chirping in the tree.

"How should I put it?" After a few seconds, she seemed to feel that her attitude was too frivolous, and added, "I heard that some evolvers have done it, but I can't do it, and I don't know who can. I wish you well Good luck, anyway, I think it will be a while before this world deteriorates to the extreme. You are still young and have time to wait."

After saying that, Mailon had already stood up and dusted himself off: "Well, it's quite interesting to have such an exchange with the locals once in a while..."

Wu Yiliu also jumped up in a hurry and said: "Wait a minute, I didn't lie to you just now! It's true, I know the information that all evolvers need to know——"

"Um?"

"Although you understand evolvers, you don't understand shapeshifters well enough," he said hurriedly, fearing that if he spoke too slowly, Myron would disappear in the blink of an eye: "First, after a person transforms, his memory remains intact; second, Transformers are highly organized when facing outside non-transformers!"

Mailon was startled.

For the first time since the two met, her expression turned serious. She obviously had a quick mind and quickly put the pieces together and came to the same conclusion.

"You mean...the shape-shifters in this world actually already know about the existence of evolvers?"
