Doomsday Wonderland

Chapter 187

On Bohemia's wrist, there is an opal bracelet.

Mixed in dozens of jingling and complicated jewelry, this green bracelet is inconspicuous; in fact, even if it is very eye-catching, the puppeteer will naturally not care about the fish or broken body next to him. Wearing something.

Therefore, he couldn't tell on which day the bracelet gradually turned red.

It's as if someone has injected bright red blood into the cat's eye stone. Every day, the red blood saturates and expands; every time the green stone is swallowed, Bohemia's complexion becomes paler.

Every day, she would draw a thin mark with the tip of her pen along the boundary line between blood red and translucent green. After drawing four or five marks, she and the puppeteer both realized that the remaining green on the bracelet would be completely replaced by blood red in about fifteen days.

That night, they stopped in a patch of sand.

The bonfire flickers on and off as it jumps, and the orange-red sparks are like dreams emerging from the night, floating widely under the dark blue sky. Beside the bonfire, neither the people nor the puppets moved, only the long shadows cast on the sand by the firelight were swaying gently.

Bohemia sat cross-legged on the ground and glanced at the puppeteer hesitantly and cautiously.

"Sir, I have something to tell you..." She turned the half-red and half-green bracelet in her hand, lowered her head and said, "This... is something I found in the endless forest of Lava... "

The puppeteer didn't say a word and seemed not to hear.

He did not respond, but Bohemia continued as if he had received some kind of permission: "I was lucky at the time, and it couldn't be more suitable for me, because one of its functions is to predict the wearer's remaining health. Natural lifespan…”

After life is divided into five segments, each segment becomes a new natural life span. The past four lives have no meaning to Bohemia - she doesn't even feel that they are her own - the only fifth life that truly belongs to her has only half a month left.

"The end of this life is coming sooner than I thought..." She said softly, not sounding like she was scared, but rather confused. "That's right. Even if the upper limit of life span is more than two hundred years old, how many people can live to the upper limit?"

"Tell the important point."

The puppet master's gloomy and cold voice startled Bohemia and brought her out of her trance.

She clutched the bracelet tightly, her knuckles turning white.

Bohemia took a deep breath, and when she raised her head, her eyes were wet and bright, like a pair of blood rubies soaked in water.

The tint of pink on her lips, the frizzy golden-brown hair floating in the air, the embroidered patterns on the cuffs and skirt corners... all seemed to be vibrated by a common string, rippling like water waves.

When the waves break, she will break too.

"Sir...after fifteen days, can you put this bracelet away and give it to Lin Sanjiu?"

*

Lin Sanjiu had never seen any stone so red that it was almost like blood.

It was hard and cold against the palm of her hand, as if a hole had been opened in her palm. All the blood from her body poured and fell into the stone bracelet, leaving her own empty and dry body.

No wonder it looks so much like a piece of coagulated blood.

She wanted to hold the bracelet tightly and protect it, but she also wanted to squeeze it into pieces until it turned into powder.

Lin Sanjiu pressed it on her chest and unknowingly bowed like a shrimp on the ground; it was not enough, even if the stone bracelet hurt her sternum, she still felt that it was not enough - if she kept adding more force, she would crush herself. Will she feel better if she crushes her sternum, presses the bracelet all the way into her flesh and blood?

It will.

From the distant wind, there came intermittent strange sounds, which did not sound like they were coming from humans, but more like howling and whimpering of wolves.

In the chaos, something soft fell on her face - that was the last detail Lin Sanjiu remembered. Before she could realize what had happened, she fell into a darkness of relief and happiness. inside.

I don't know how much time passed, but when she regained consciousness again, she opened her eyes and felt that her eyelashes and eyelids were pressed gently, and then she realized that her eyes were still covered with a soft cloth.

For several seconds, Lin Sanjiu's mind was in a daze due to lack of oxygen, but her mood was very calm. For a moment, she did not remember what she was holding in front of her chest.

She didn't have the strength to get up, and she didn't want to reach out and peel off the soft cloth on her face. She felt that the world had melted, and it seemed that she had melted herself, turning into a shapeless puddle of water on the gray hard floor tiles.

"Are you awake?" The puppet master's voice was very calm, hoarse and cool.

"Bohemia," Lin Sanjiu remembered and whispered, "Bohemia..."

"If you want to listen to me, just shut up."

Lin Sanjiu stopped talking - her mind was in a state of confusion at the moment, and she didn't know what the puppet master was going to say or what he had to say. Someone just gave her an order and she obeyed.

"Think about it with your mind. If I just leave you a relic, there will be a lot of garbage on her body." Through the soft darkness brought by a piece of fabric, only the voice of the puppet master floated in the melted world. . "So I asked her why she gave you this bracelet."

Why?

"What...what do you mean?" Lin Sanjiu was startled by her own voice. She took off the cloth from her face, but still didn't dare to raise her eyes for a moment, staring at the floor tiles and asked: "How did she answer you?"

The puppeteer whispered: "She said it meant a lot to her. She said you would understand it later and asked you to keep it."

Lin Sanjiu got up from the ground and was already a little out of breath when he sat down. "What would I understand? What's the point of being preserved?"

"How do I know? I seem to be here to help you solve your doubts?" The iron-gray light flashed slightly in the corners of the puppet master's eyes. He slowed down his voice again and said: "On the fifteenth day, her clothes, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net special items, jewelry... were all piled on the ground as they were, except for one person inside."

Lin Sanjiu was startled. "The person is missing? No body? Could she - she might not -"

The puppet master turned his head away and remained silent.

Lin Sanjiu's voice gradually trailed off, and she still didn't finish her sentence. After all, Bohemia was a life that had been disrupted by the flood; she had no idea what the lack of corpses could mean.

She just didn't expect that in the world of lava, she thought it was just two months of separation... the two months that she wanted to fulfill the gift package and give him time to be alone... dragged on for several years, and finally broke off. All her hopes of meeting Bohemia again.

In the copy of Play House, the scene when everyone was making the floor in the kitchen was still so clear; it was so clear that when she stretched out her hand, she seemed to be able to touch Bohemia's thick hair, pressing it warmly on her arm. .

"for you."

She didn't know how long she had been in a daze until a small thing was thrown into her hand.

"The trash she left on the ground is all in there."

After a while, the puppet master said again: "Recover your strength... don't keep sitting here and dragging me down."

In a daze, Lin Sanjiu put the bracelet and the storage key into cards together. There were only a few lines of words on the card of the bracelet. Apart from the function mentioned by Bohemia, she could not see anything else. Naturally, she could not think of what important significance it had to Bohemia. - Even after death, Lin Sanjiu must be kept away.

She really wanted to have some hope, but she didn't dare.

She also wanted to touch her bohemian hair again.

When I originally planned the plot, I didn't expect that Schrödinger's Bohemia would appear... To be honest, writing this chapter made me feel uncomfortable...
