Doomsday Wonderland

Five hundred and seventy-four: One step away from freedom

In response to Lin Sanjiu's question, the puppet master just smiled lightly and replied, "Isn't it good to eat some?" - and ignored her.

Lin Sanjiu never told him that when he tore open his potato chip bag, he found that it was actually dried human internal organs; he obviously discovered this through [Soul of the Crew] and arranged such a skill for her, full of malicious intent. Tell her to eat a man's leg with a belly full of potato chips.

When Lin Sanjiu made his first sound of retching, he turned off the [Soul of the Crew] one-way in order to clear his ears.

After finally waiting for the "chicken-flavored green onion" bag next to her to stop shaking, the puppeteer slowly kicked her off the shelf again.

Lin Sanjiu was lying on the ground, listening to the painless urging in her ears. She was so angry that she wished she could give the puppeteer a bite too - "Hurry up and read it, so you can make comparisons after you finish it."

This is a method that the two came up with in desperation, and it is really not very clever: scan and record all the goods on one side of the shelf, and then compare them with the goods on the other side. This method is largely based on luck, but they have no choice - even if they invite smart people like Nuwa, they must make decisions based on "information". Now his eyes are completely dark, and there is no information at all. He can only use this stupid method to get information first.

This time, the two men's actions went smoothly, and there were no further complications.

When he was pulled up again by the same nagging and polite rope, Lin Sanjiu happened to hear the puppet master mutter to himself: "... Weird."

"What's wrong?"

"Sorry."

"What things don't match the number?"

"Everything," the puppeteer said in a solemn tone, "none of the products on both sides of the shelf are the same. There are always differences in taste, date, brand..."

Lin Sanjiu was stunned, and it took him a few seconds to realize that this was far from their initial guess!

When they were trapped on the other side of the shelf, these two evolutionists, who were not particularly intelligent, came to the conclusion after ten minutes of discussion: being caught on the other side of the shelf was definitely not an accident. It is an inevitable step in the copy, and its existence must be meaningful for cracking the copy. It was under this premise that the two people would think of comparing the goods - if the goods on both sides were the same but different, they would undoubtedly find a breakthrough.

"Then... what's the connection between the two sides of the shelf?" Lin Sanjiu frowned and thought hard: "Speaking of which, if it hadn't fallen to the ground, that potato chip man wouldn't have come to eat people. .Why were we arrested?"

"Can't you just shut up and think?" At this time, the puppet master did not forget to mock her, and then continued: "You stay here and think, I will go down and take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, two questions popped up in Lin Sanjiu's mind at the same time: What is there to see down there? Also, what does he taste like?

However, neither of these two questions was answered; because the puppet master suddenly snorted heavily, but somehow remained motionless. She waited for a while inexplicably, and finally heard his next words: "So that's it." His voice was full of coldness and anger.

Before she could ask, the other party sneered: "I can't move. Try it. Can you still move?"

Lin Sanjiu was startled and immediately tried to move. After turning into a potato chip, she had difficulty moving, but after she worked up the energy to feed, she was able to move around a bit. But at this moment, her heart quickly cooled down: she didn't know when, not only could she not move, but her vision range also seemed to have decreased - the two of them had been relying on special items, but they didn't realize it until now.

how so?

At this moment, the two of them thought of the same thing almost at the same time. Although neither of them expressed it in words, those few seconds of shocked silence were enough to make Lin Sanjiu panic uncontrollably.

Every one of the other products on this shelf was once a human being. Why didn’t they save themselves?

Why do they sit silently on the shelves, waiting to be torn apart and eaten?

"...Because they can't move anymore." Lin Sanjiu said dryly, "It's like a pack of real snacks."

"No wonder there's a shelf on the other side," the puppeteer snorted, his voice low. "We must find a way to restore human form immediately."

Lin Sanjiu cast her eyes on the aisle floor. There, lying crookedly, were two bags of potato chips; one she had taken down, and the other the puppeteer had knocked down when he was pulled back to this side of the shelf. This shelf seems to follow the principle of "one carrot, one pit". Only one pack of snacks is allowed in one position. If a pack of snacks is missing and a deep black hole is exposed, it will be grabbed irresistibly and dragged to the other side of the shelf. , also turned into a pack of snacks.

According to personal experience, they still had a certain amount of mobility when they first became snacks; but less than half an hour had passed, and their mobility was gradually paralyzing and tending to disappear.

"That must be the case..." Lin Sanjiu murmured, "All humans who have been turned into snacks will be pulled to the other side and kept for a period of time until they completely lose their ability to move. Then On one side, there is a warehouse.”

Anyone who is trying to save themselves on the other side will attract the potato chip man if they make the slightest noise. The goal set in this way is also very clear. The potato chip people want to nip all resistance in the bud. When all humans become obedient potato chips, they should be sent back to this side of the shelf. Therefore, none of the products on both sides are the same - because they are inherently different humans!

Perhaps occasionally there were some whose mobility had not completely disappeared. When Lin Sanjiu stretched out his hand towards it, the rooster on the packaging bag would turn its head a little bit.

The puppet master smiled sinisterly, and his voice was so soft that it almost floated, and passed into Lin Sanjiu's ears like smoke: "Our sanity is still normal, do you know what this means? Beside us and behind us, there are densely packed... A bag of potato chips is looking at us. Every move we make is seen by them, but they can't say a word or make a move."

When he thought of every product in front of him, he had a pair of straight eyes; Lin Sanjiu shuddered and said in a stern tone: "We must leave immediately!"

If they don't leave, these silent potato chips will be their fate - the question is, how can they return to their human form and get out of here quickly?

"It's really difficult for us to find the correct package among hundreds of snacks." Lin Sanjiu forced herself to calm down and sort out her thoughts: "What's more, I don't even know what the correct standard is. have no idea……"

"Just take the correct item out of this aisle, right?"

"Huh?" Lin Sanjiu was startled. She glanced at the aisle and found that there were no other obstacles on the ground except a shopping basket she threw down.

She really didn't want to have any tacit understanding with the puppet master, and the other party obviously had the same idea; however, the next second, as soon as they opened their mouths, they both reluctantly discovered that they both thought of going together -

The puppeteer snorted, as if he didn't want to say another word to her. The polite rope shot out from the shelf, waving and swinging on the shelf so fast that it almost became a shadow. . Under the command of its owner, it dropped a large piece of potato chips and other snacks with a crash; the products in bags, tubes, and cartons fell to the ground one after another, creating a bang-dong-dong sound in the aisle. echo.

"It, how did it move so fast?"

"I told it that if it continues slowly, it will be taken to the other side alone." The puppet master said in a calm voice.

However, the rope still did not escape the fate of being caught.

At this point, everything is clear: Anyone who takes the wrong product from the shelf and exposes the deep black hole, no matter whether it is a person or a rope, can't escape that pale arm - the rope is flexible and fast, The wind swept through the shelves; but I didn't expect that this would bring disaster to it.

Countless pale arms swooped out from the depths of the shelves like a suddenly growing forest. Among this dense mass of arms, several hands were holding the rope at the same time; Lin Sanjiu had not had time to utter an exclamation. , just hearing a muffled groan from the puppet master, the polite rope was pulled into the dark depths.

Lin Sanjiu suddenly remembered the tone in which she said to her, "Let's talk next time" with Rope - but she didn't say anything. It was just a special item. The puppeteer didn't even care about human life. I'm afraid he had already prepared to use that rope to die.

She took over the puppet master's work without saying a word, said "I'm sorry", and hit the shelves with her consciousness like a whip. Suddenly, countless items fell like rain and fell to the ground. From the darkness deep in the shelves, pale arms poked out one after another, their fingers turned into claws, fluttering in the air again and again, but in vain - they can indeed capture a small part of consciousness, But as long as Lin Sanjiu had a thought, all his consciousness came back; just like reaching out to fish for water, except for the little bit in the palm, the rest of the water returned to the rivers and lakes.

Soon the shelves were empty—if you didn't count the thick forest of pale arms that kept reaching out.

Lin Sanjiu and the puppet master were still sitting on the shelf. Their sides, feet, and heads were covered with densely packed pale arms. Not one of them gave up. Each time they retracted, it was to eject faster next time; these arms danced, swayed, entangled, and grabbed, making the shelf look like a giant octopus. Twisting its countless tentacles.

The next step should have been to sweep all the snacks accumulated on the floor out of the aisles - but now no one, neither Lin Sanjiu nor the puppet master, dared to move.

Among the thick layers of snacks at the bottom, there must be the right one; once that one is swept away, the two of them will immediately turn into human shapes and fall off the shelf——

I'm afraid that by then, before they even touch the ground, they will be caught deep by these pale arms.
