Doomsday Wonderland

Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a few seconds before she calmed down from the shock and asked a question.

"That's not right," she murmured. "You think there are body stewards around here because you doubt that the ability [cognitive balance is the key to a happy life] has taken effect on Pina. But why do you Do you doubt that it has taken effect? ​​If this is not the case, doesn’t it mean that there are no body stewards around here?”

Unlike forcibly interpreting a stranger as an old friend, there was nothing in Pina's story that made her feel unreasonable: Yu Yuan gave [The Prince and the Beggar] to Pina, and the latter was able to change his face. He just escaped from the crowd, it makes sense, is there anything strange about this?

Why does it need to be changed?

"Besides, if there are body stewards nearby, why don't they take action now that they see us?" Lin Sanjiu said, looking around hurriedly like a frightened bird. Among the evolvers coming and going, far and near, no one glanced at the two of them.

"Because he's waiting for us to rejoin."

Ji Shanqing sighed and whispered: "This is why I just said that we must pretend to be ready to rendezvous and return to Exodus... We must give Oasis a hope and let him think that there is a chance to catch them all in one fell swoop. They are right in front of him, so he won't start one by one now.

"If Oasis knows now that we are not going to reunite at all, and he has no hope of catching them all, then even if it is a little troublesome, he will start to take action. Once he takes action, we will have no chance, so we must try our best Delay time.”

Lin Sanjiu was still a little unwilling: "Why did you identify it?"

Ji Shanqing paused. "I also hope I'm overthinking, sister."

He didn't think he was overthinking it - as soon as he heard these words, Lin Sanjiu realized that the gift bag was trying to soften the impact on her.

Her heart sank. For a moment, it felt as if a turtle had its shell removed, and the softest and most fragile parts of her body that had never seen the sun were exposed to the outside world.

If she is just a "body steward", of course she will not be emotionally impacted, and does not need to be protected: soldiers will block it, water will cover it, and there are many dangers and difficulties, and it will be enough to meet them.

...She's only afraid of one thing.

"Pina's statement has no flaws on the surface, but if you think about it carefully, you will feel that something is wrong." Ji Shanqing's hand had been nestled in Lin Sanjiu's hand, but at this moment he lowered his eyes and said in a breathy voice Said: "In the first half of her narration, she mentioned that she had been covering her face with her hands. Several people were suspicious of her and looked at her. At this time, Yu Yuan walked up and took [The Prince and the Beggar] ] Gave it to her and saved her life, right?"

Lin Sanjiu nodded.

"How did you give it to her?" Li Bao said a few words slowly.

"How to give it? Just -" Lin Sanjiu just started, and then she responded with an "ah".

Pina was covering her face with her hands and was being stared at by several people. How could Yu Yuan just walk up and hand the items to Pina in front of those people?

"If I were Yu Yuan, since I am no longer my true self, I would pretend to go up to check Pina's appearance, and when I pull her hand away, I would put something into her hand." Ji Shanqing said lowly Sheng said, "Apart from this, any other method that can be used immediately is not safe. Someone may be discovered passing the item, Pina may not be able to get it, and Pina may not realize what she got... The most natural way to approach her is to pretend to check her out.”

Lin Sanjiu nodded again. She was still a little confused at this moment, not knowing where she saw the problem with the gift bag.

"But getting it doesn't mean it's safe. Pina still needs a chance to use it." Ji Shanqing continued to lower his head and said, "Let's put ourselves in someone else's shoes. When there are people watching around, After Pina got the thing, how could she have the opportunity to touch other people's faces and change her appearance? Obviously, this was impossible if she was still standing motionless - every part of her Everything you do is under the gaze of others."

"Then what do you think they did at that time?"

"Let Pina run." Ji Shanqing frowned when he said this. "Yu Yuan must have created an opportunity to let Pina run away. Only if Pina ran into the crowd first, could she exchange faces with others in the chaos. I can't guess what he did specifically, but no matter what, We already know that he stayed behind to ensure that Pina could escape smoothly."

Why guess?

Just ask Yu Yuan what Yu Yuan did, right?

Lin Sanjiu wanted to ask, but couldn't formulate the question.

"So?" She whispered, "I still don't understand... Even if your guess is correct, what does it mean?"

"Based on the circumstances at that time, it is almost impossible that Yu Yuan exchanged looks with others at the moment he saw Pina. He must have already exchanged looks and saw Pina when he was walking out from the crowd. Also. That is to say, when he created an opportunity for Pina to escape, the duration of the effect of [The Prince and the Beggar] on him was less than one minute."

Ji Shanqing thought for a while and said: "In this case, he couldn't seize the time and run away on his own. Instead, he had to stand behind Pina and try his best to hold off the pursuer and create an opportunity for her to escape. …”

Lin Sanjiu finally understood what he was going to say.

What he said next was indeed what she expected: "Even if Yu Yuan downplayed it and didn't tell her everything, Pina must have known it deep down in her consciousness. When she turned around and didn't see Yu Yuan, he simply The possibility of getting separated is very small, but the possibility of encountering danger is very high.”

"That's why when I first told Pina that we had seen Yu Yuan, she was surprised and happy and couldn't believe it." Lin Sanjiu said in a low voice.

"Yes," Libao nodded, as if this matter was his fault, and he was a little ashamed.

Lin Sanjiu murmured: "But... Pina was not worried about this at all just now. UU Reading www.uukaｎshu.netｔ"

"She paused when she told how a few people kept staring at her," Libao said. "Then she changed her story and concluded that those people didn't chase her anymore because they saw her new appearance. It was not for other reasons. The great possibility that 'Yu Yuan might have been in danger at that time' was thus eliminated from her cognition."

Lin Sanjiu held Ji Shanqing's hand tightly and whispered: "What do you mean..."

"Yu Yuan was in danger at that time; there is a body steward nearby; and we just saw Yu Yuan nearby." He smiled bitterly and said: "Sister, Oasis can occupy the body of an evolved person... "

Lin Sanjiu stopped and looked back at the direction he was walking.

Along the way just now, the light was scattered and dim, and there were always people coming and going, talking, and despite being nervous and panicked, there was a beating, pulse-like life.

It was hard for her to imagine that Yu Yuan, a young man with black tattoos all over his body and a gentle and open-minded personality, was clearly in the same world as her, but he was walking step by step into the pitch-black abyss.

Yu Yuan didn't give up on Pina then, and she certainly wouldn't give up on Yu Yuan now.

"We have to think of a way to inform everyone not to come here and buy some time first. I want to save him...even if he has fallen into the hands of Oasis, I will try to rescue him. .”

She looked at the mountain forest that was eroded by the darkness. She didn't know where her former friend was standing, looking at her from a distance.

I'm out of line! Now I feel like I plunged into a big river and the sea, thinking that I was in vain, but when I looked back, the rope around my waist was broken!

There are many characters and complex plots with many pitfalls. It’s so annoying to write. It just goes away on its own at every turn, without waiting for me at all.
