The feeling of standing on the ground with your feet again-

It's amazing!

At this moment, Lin Sanjiu looked like she had suddenly lost her mind: she jumped on the floor several times, her calves were numb, and her boots stomped on the ground; Spreading and clenching her fingers again and again, she felt the contraction of her muscles and bones, and couldn't help but smile with a smile that would definitely be called "uncomfortable to see" by the puppeteer.

As long as the body comes back, everything is fine.

She sighed contentedly, and in a blink of an eye, her eyes fell on the goose, and she suddenly stopped laughing.

The goose still stood in place stunned, her black bean-like eyes were exactly opposite hers—a person and a goose looked at each other for two seconds, but Lin Sanjiu didn't find the light full of character just now in its eyes; Behind the goose's tail, a bag of potato chips still lies quietly on the ground.

The puppeteer did not follow with him to restore his original form.

Is it too late? He can't be saved?

Lin Sanjiu walked a few steps, squatted beside the goose, and was just about to reach out to grab the potato chips on the ground, but his movements froze.

What do I want to do?

She asked herself this question in her mind.

Do you want to take him with you now? Will he be able to get it back? Besides, his consciousness is completely exhausted, and he has no energy left to help the puppeteer anymore.

But after hesitating for a while, Lin Sanjiu slowly and reluctantly realized that these were actually reasons for her to deceive herself, and they were all excuses.

There is only one real reason: if the puppeteer dies in this copy, then Ji Shanqing, Doctor Cat, and Hu Changzai will all be rescued!

…… It was a gift bag of "sister", that was Hu Miaomiao, whose green eyes would sparkle when he made a request, and that was Hu Changzai, who blushed and had a thick neck when he told a lie.

This idea was so tempting that even Lin Sanjiu's fingers trembled slightly. With his life alone, in exchange for the chance of his three companions to survive - to change it?

Judging by what she knows about the puppeteer, this is a guy who only holds grudges and doesn't remember gratitude; Even if she did go to great lengths to get him back to human form, he probably wouldn't give up the package for a day as long as his goal wasn't reached.

But on second thought, only Mrs. Cleveland needed to buy potato chips - this matter had nothing to do with the puppeteer in the first place, and the reason why he was also implicated was because he found out that he had been turned into potato chips and came to help Lin Sanjiu......

In this way, the puppeteer may only be able to transform into a human form because he has not yet completed his own mission - he may still be saved.

This speculation was pressed down like a heavy dark cloud, and Lin Sanjiu's lower lip had been bitten white. The fate of the four people may be in her thoughts.

Squatting next to the goose, she stared at the potato chips on the ground for a while, and finally stretched out her hand.

…… She picked up the shopping list on the ground.

When Lin Sanjiu slowly straightened up, her eyes never took off the bag of potato chips. The note that she held tightly in her hand was constantly making a slight trembling sound, like a withered leaf trembling in the autumn wind.

Maybe the person who turned into potato chips could still hear and see, but she didn't say anything because she didn't know what to say.

Lin Sanjiu was inexplicably flustered, and even she didn't know what she was afraid of-she slowly took two steps back at first, then suddenly turned around and ran, running all the way out of the aisle under the gaze of the big goose, and didn't stop until she couldn't see the shelf of puffed food anymore.

Holding the cash register with one hand, she couldn't help but take a few deep breaths, as if the short distance just now had consumed her great physical strength. Knowing that the puppeteer and the big goose couldn't see herself, Lin Sanjiu still had an illusion, as if she was being watched by someone.

She didn't expect that one day she would be full of heart-wrenching guilt for the puppeteer-

This thought flashed through his mind, and Lin Sanjiu raised his head suddenly, and the hairs on his back stood up.

She didn't feel delusional because of guilt.

In the calm air, behind the empty counter, there was indeed a creature that was silently watching her.

Lin Sanjiu slowly took two steps back, his eyes fixed on the clearing—what was he going to do?

"Mrs. Cleveland," the same Indian accent said, causing her to frown sharply, and vaguely feel as if something was wrong—"it is great to see you again." ”

At this moment, Lin Sanjiu suddenly understood what was wrong.

This time, the sound did not come from the speaker; It was as if she were talking to someone face-to-face, and the Indian accent came clearly into her ears from not far away.

Before she could make up her mind whether to respond, she heard the shapeless creature continue, "We're running out of time. ”

Is this also one of the quest hints? But the fourth hour is still far away - "What time?" She couldn't help but ask.

"Don't talk, listen to me." The voice interrupted her. "I've been running this store for a long, long time, and I've forgotten what I was here about. Every time I opened my eyes, I was standing in the same place, watching the different people walking towards the store outside the door. My job is to welcome them, to help them buy things, to keep the store running...... This time I opened my eyes and met you and Mr. Griffin. ”

The voice sounded flat, as if it was telling a story from a long time ago, and compared to the enthusiasm of the briefing, it was like a different person.

No, that's not right. Lin Sanjiu's face gradually turned white, thinking in his heart, he shouldn't tell me these words-

"I just wanted to work as it should, but this time it was different. As soon as I opened my eyes, I felt ...... The store has been touched, and someone is watching me from the dark, looking at the store. ”

"I don't know who those people are or what they want, but I can tell you that just now, the gaze from the shadows disappeared. I can feel that this matter is not over yet, but I may not see the future. Mrs. Cleveland, it's great to see you again. You have to be careful, they may be back soon-"

"Wait, where are you going?"

"I'm not going anywhere." The voice paused, then suddenly sighed softly: "I'm right here, with my shop." I mean, I and it, probably can't see it anymore. ”

Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment, and didn't say a word.

"I sit here day in and day out, watching people come and go, leaving no trace. The only thing I know and know in this world is this store, so I know that time is running out for both of us......"

The creature's tone remained steady, unwavering, except that the voice grew quieter and lower, until it died silent. The silence was re-enveloped, and the air was still empty, and there was no one to be seen.

After waiting for a few seconds, Lin Sanjiu reacted suddenly, and remembered the puppeteer; She turned around and ran back, plunging headfirst into the aisle—the soles of her boots creaking sharply on the floor as she braked, piercing the air.

The goose was still standing in place, but the packet of chips under its tail was missing.

"Where's your master?" Lin Sanjiu rushed forward, picked it up, and couldn't help but look around: "Where did he go at this juncture?" ”

Where can a puppeteer go? He had no power at all now, and it was impossible for him to leave as he wished—she refused to think badly, and her heart was pounding, as if it was about to burst out of her chest; Holding the big goose, Lin Sanjiu quickly rushed towards the door, betting all his hopes on being able to break out.

There was nothing wrong with that dungeon creature, and the person who had been observing the store in the shadows would of course only be a data body. What made her heart hang the most was that the voice said that he would disappear with the store - now that the dungeon creature has disappeared, is this shop dungeon about to have an accident?

Lin Sanjiu was full of anxiety, and when he saw that there was a glass door not far away, he immediately kicked his feet and slammed straight into the glass. She used all her strength in this blow, and the force of the blow was not even comparable to that of a locomotive—but it was like a punch into the air, and she hit nothing.

With such a powerful momentum, she fell into the air lightly, and when she landed, her internal organs were turned over, and she was extremely uncomfortable for a while - in the whirlwind of the world, Lin Sanjiu couldn't say whether he was lifted into the sky or smashed to the ground, and he didn't even know if his limbs were still in place.

The vision was dark and flowery, and this moment seemed to be stretched, and there was no end to it; She floated in half-truth, half-illusion, and after some time, she finally "banged", and felt her shoulders, body, and legs, like a few stones in a broken pocket, crashing into a hard thing one after another.

Lin Sanjiu gasped, and couldn't see anything in front of him for a while, but he still struggled to get up, and he was still holding the goose in his arms. Although the goose was dumbfounded, it seemed to be frightened, and it couldn't stop flapping its wings on her arms.

"Give it back," a deep voice sounded not far away, "that's my goose." ”

It was like an electric bolt coming over, and at the same time as Lin Sanjiu's heart jumped, his eyesight gradually recovered. She found herself sitting on a yellow grass, littered with broken bricks, garbage, plastic bags, and rags...... Not far away, a man wrapped in black leather was looking at her with a gloomy face.

"Y-Are you alright?" Lin Sanjiu jumped up, "I thought you-I thought you-"

"Disappointed?" Half of the puppeteer's face wrinkled, revealing half a row of snow-white teeth. His coldness at this time was a little different, as if he was full of sharp murderous aura: "Your plan to leave me to fend for myself has failed, and now it's my turn to make a move." ”

"No-no, I-" Lin Sanjiu's face turned red, trying to defend himself, but he really couldn't find the words to defend himself.

The puppeteer didn't move, didn't come up to attack her, just stared at her coldly.

Lin Sanjiu sighed.

"I didn't want you to fend for yourself," she said in a low voice, knowing that the other party would not pay attention to it. She stopped trying to defend herself and said softly, "I...... That's just me being weak for a while. ”

"Nobody cares about your journey." The puppeteer sneered, "The reason why I kept you alive is because the situation is obviously very wrong now. ”

Lin Sanjiu was reminded by this, looked around carefully, and finally realized that they had changed the environment again. The sky was dark, and the wind was boneless; The road was smashed and cracked, and the overturned car stretched under the sky until it hit a gray brick wall like a city wall.

"Is this another copy?" She asked softly, but in her heart she remembered the Indians in the convenience store. As he said, he disappeared with the store - perhaps to see that she had cracked the first level, and the data body had neatly erased the copy completely.

"It's not." The puppeteer turned around, leaving her with only a back.

It was a long time before he spoke slowly. He seemed to be gritting his teeth desperately, and there were even green tendons floating on his cheeks: "...... This is my hometown. (To be continued.) )
