Doomsday Wonderland

Lin Sanjiu stood up slowly and glanced around again.

That's right... but a small forest of about a dozen trees happened to surround an open space in the center. The tree crowns and branches and leaves above her head formed a huge "wellhead", and the skylight fell from the "wellhead"; such woods were not common. The more she looked at it, the more she was sure that she was right. Everything was no different from last time.

You can't find two identical leaves in nature, but you can find two identical woods?

Apart from someone setting a trap, Lin Sanjiu couldn't find any other explanation.

But how did the person who set the trap know that she would rush out from this direction of the town at this moment? Or is it that someone else has another target and he is just unlucky?

Ever since I entered this place, there has been one mystery after another. Trying to find the answer from the mystery is like trying to dig a tunnel through the mountain with tree branches.

Her repeated efforts to call out the card just now finally succeeded; but unfortunately, what she called out was just an ordinary long coat, not even a special item.

Lin Sanjiu, who wanted nothing but nothing, had no choice but to approach the edge of the forest as calmly as possible. A step or two away was the grassland outside the forest. The woods were not far from the town. If she could rush out and run faster, she should be able to return to the town within ten seconds. Although her evolutionary abilities were dormant, the skinny camel was bigger than the horse. After all, she had not completely fallen. Become an ordinary person.

The question is, can I go out?

Lin Sanjiu thought to herself and tentatively walked out of the forest.

Even she herself didn't expect that she would take this step smoothly; the woods behind her were like any woods in the world, silent and indifferent, allowing her to rush into the grassland - what she had just thought in her mind There were several reactions prepared for different situations, but none of them were used.

Even if everything is an illusion at this moment, Lin Sanjiu will still struggle to the end in the illusion. She rushed all the way to the intersection of the town, and then she dared to slow down her pace again; she ducked behind a truck on the side of the road, glanced outside, and found that the grove was still sitting far away in the grass, and there was nothing strange about it. .

Lin Sanjiu drew back her head and let out a breath of surprise. She quickly put on her long coat, pulled the zipper down to her chin, and put on her hood. When she had no other choice, she barely managed to complete the disguise.

Just as she was about to continue walking into the town, she paused and looked outside the truck again.

...The grove is a little closer than before.

The branches and leaves trembled and swayed, the crown of the tree undulated, and the entire grove was moving up and down, as if there were countless tiny winds pushing them from all directions. Only when people move their eyes to the roots of the trees, they will find that the wind is not rising on the grassland, but that the tree in the front stands up and leaves the ground.

There is an extra pair of human feet under the tree.

It was as if someone was wearing a tree-shaped stage suit. Only one pair of feet was exposed, and it was dragging a group of trees behind it on the ground. As it walked, the tree sat down, as if it wanted to rest for a while. The feet disappeared.

After a second or two, the tree lifted up, people's feet took small steps again, and the forest rustled towards the town.

Then... what is that?

When Lin Sanjiu thought that she had just rushed out from the feet of the pair of people, she even felt a little inexplicable nausea; at this moment, her field of vision was suddenly blocked by the truck door that was pushed open.

A driver jumped out of the car and slammed the door. He seemed to notice her gaze. He turned his head and saw the small forest heading towards the town.

His back paused for half a second, and when he turned around, his face looked as normal as if a tree was born to grow human feet.

Before crossing the dirt road, the truck driver glanced at Lin Sanjiu and said, "Is that your friend? Did he come to see you?"

Lin Sanjiu was shocked and didn't know how to digest this sentence, but the truck driver had already walked away without taking it seriously.

This sentence contained a message, just like the previous conversation with the red T-shirt - only, this time she could almost feel the shape of the message through the words, and could even feel that it was crucial. What is it?

No, no, not just a message.

She clung to this idea in her heart and did not dare to let go. She quickly flashed back to the car and glanced around a few times.

Since the truck driver can think that Xiao Shulin is here to find her, it means that Xiao Shulin can walk into the town, right?

This was already the edge of the town, and there were only a few buildings nearby. No matter which direction she walked, she might be caught in the woods from afar. Lin Sanjiu looked at the truck driver's back, and suddenly became anxious and called him: "Hey, wait for me!"

As she strode towards the bewildered truck driver, in her peripheral vision, the woods were still swaying towards the town, getting closer.

The truck driver was tall and fat, and Lin Sanjiu stood beside him, so he could use him to block her. She was dressed differently now. If she had an extra companion by her side, she might be able to hide herself a little. Not only did she slip away from the woods, she also had to evade the search of the red T-shirt.

"Brother," she said with a smile as much as she could, "what a coincidence, I want to go in this direction too, can we go together?"

The people here were very friendly - at least on the surface they were friendly - Lin Sanjiu guessed he wouldn't refuse.

"That's fine, but isn't your friend here to see you?" The truck driver hesitated, "Why don't you wait here?"

Lin Sanjiu swallowed back the reflexive question "What is that?" She had so many questions, but unfortunately she didn't seem to be able to ask any of them.

"No, no wait," she said vaguely, "let's go now."

The truck driver didn't seem to realize that when the two of them were walking, Lin Sanjiu had been hiding herself tightly within the outline of his body, and she didn't even dare to swing her hand wider than him.

Across the dirt road is a small farm in the distance. In a large low fence, many chickens are walking around, picking food on the ground. There is also a row of fences behind, with several pigs and a cow standing in the shadow under the eaves. , watching numbly as the two approached the fence.

Lin Sanjiu quietly glanced back over the truck driver's shoulder, but couldn't help but be startled: the grove was gone.

It only took ten seconds. The forest was not moving very fast. How could it suddenly disappear from outside the town?

The truck driver apparently noticed her movements. "Ah, I understand." He patted his forehead and said, "Old acquaintances may not necessarily be friends... What, were there conflicts before?"

Where have you gone?

Lin Sanjiu was full of doubts and didn't bother to answer him for a moment. The truck driver didn't care either and continued to himself: "Hey, I understand you too. In a place like a symposium, you will meet a lot of familiar faces. Not to mention you."

She was startled and almost stopped.

Is the symposium real?

What does "not to mention you" mean?

Lin Sanjiu felt like a blind person was trying to figure out the shape of an elephant. She had figured out the shape of many parts of the elephant's body. As long as she put them together, she could get the answer - for the red T-shirt, the truck driver If so, the walking grove would stir and spin in her mind, UU reading www. uukanshu.net made her even feel a little dazed.

She looked back and saw that there were only a few scattered pedestrians on the dirt road in the town; on the grassland, the small woods seemed to have never existed.

"This symposium..." Lin Sanjiu pondered and asked in a low voice, "Did you see any new people?"

"Yes, I don't know what happened today. Besides you, there is a new person who is looking for a place to stay. Normally, I don't see anyone in years."

Lin Sanjiu thought to herself that she had just been lucky enough to meet a truck driver who had seen the fat man before, and then she heard that her luck had taken a turn.

"Too bad," the truck driver said, "I haven't seen him yet, so I don't know what he's like."

Then how do you know there is something new here——

At the same time this question surfaced, it seemed as if a bolt of lightning struck, illuminating all the broken details and clues in her mind: water stains on the stone road, fat and ugly people, trapped people Mr. Puppeteer, the red T-shirt said that the symposium is very long and you are not afraid of being absent for a while. "Old acquaintances may not necessarily make you friends"...

Almost all the points are connected by a line. No matter how surprising the connected shape is, it is an answer that has to be accepted. Once she had the answer, she looked back and saw that everything was so clear and simple, making her feel ashamed that she had not thought of it earlier.

Lin Sanjiu knew why the puppet master was arrested.
