Chapter 9: The Shadow Falls
Wu Ming's eyes quickly supported Lin Jiaojiao, who was almost planted in the corner of the bedside table: "Lao Zhao explains what it means." ”
"The popular explanation is that the area is about to overlap with the film world...... "Zhao Jida put the medicine bottle into her loose clothes and jumped off the chair, "Please be prepared to be optimistic about Lin Jiaojiao, and there will be an impact when the reality and the film world completely coincide......"
"It's coming!"
Before he finished speaking, a strong sense of shaking hit again. Only this time it was not a shock on the material level, but a shock on the balance of the senses and spiritual consciousness, like the feeling of being dizzy and dying after playing two roller coasters three times with a big pendulum and spinning in place for one or two dozen times without waking up from a hangover.
This level of dizziness and spiritual shock is nothing to Wu Ming, who has experienced physical enhancement and virtual time reversal teleportation baptism, but Lin Jiaojiao couldn't bear it, and when this vertigo hit, this ordinary girl rolled her eyes and fainted.
Like the last tremor, this time the dizziness and mental shock only lasted for a few seconds before coming to an abrupt end.
When the dizziness ended, Wu Ming clearly felt that something around him had changed: the furnishings in the room were still the same, and the floor was full of graphic novels and figurine-made medals scattered on the ground because of the vibration just now, but the noisy cicadas in his ears had disappeared, the whole world had become silent and silent, and the scorching sunlight outside the window no longer seemed to have scorching heat, but a bit of illusory haze, and Wu Ming, who had already experienced it twice, immediately realized that they had entered the shallow layer of the film world that completely reproduced reality.
Then he turned his head to look at Lin Jiaojiao, who fainted on the bed - well, this unlucky child is still there, and he didn't accidentally get lost when he reunited.
"The impact is over, and we've fallen in." Zhao Xida's eyes flashed a few data streams, and the data transmitted back through various detection methods confirmed that they were indeed in the shallow layer of the film world now, "But the situation is a little strange, the values transmitted back show that this overlap seems to be full of human traces, not like a normal coincidence......"
Wu Ming, who was observing the outside world through the window, nodded, and then his expression suddenly stiffened, and then he stretched out his hand and pointed out the window and said, "It's really strange, look there." ”
Zhao Jida looked in the direction of his finger, and then the puppet girl also froze.
In the silent neighborhood, a strong tower-like man is beating up a group of lanky ghosts about his height.
It was the macho old hunter that Wu Ming met in the depths of the film industry last time - Alex.
This macho hunter who can press the shadow monster and the nightmare body to the ground and beat it into a carpet, after beating a shadow monster that fled towards him in a panic into a paper man embedded in the ground, seemed to feel someone casting a gaze at him, and suddenly turned his head to look at the window where Wu Ming and the others were, and then waved his hand to Wu Ming in the window with a surprised and hideous smile on his face.
"It's really an amazing sense, just by looking at him and being discovered......" Wu Ming also waved his hand at Alex, then turned around and pinched Lin Jiaojiao's people and said to Zhao Jiaoda: "Let's go, I'll wake Lin Jiaojiao up, and then go and see what the hunter brother has to know about the current situation, right?" ”
After a while, Wu Ming helped Lin Jiaojiao and Zhao Jida to come downstairs together.
"Hey dude! I didn't expect to see you again not long after! The macho old hunter Alex subconsciously opened his arms when he saw Wu Ming coming, wanting to give him a bear hug for reunion, but after seeing the latter still holding an ordinary girl with a groggy head, Alex stopped his actions, and his face with a scar was full of incredible expressions, "Brother, she is ......"
"The unlucky kid who was accidentally involved in this incident." Wu Ming held his forehead, thinking of Lin Jiaojiao's experience, he felt a little tired, "Counting this time, she should be involved in an extraordinary event for the fourth or fifth time......
Lin Jiaojiao was also a little embarrassed and scratched her head and said: "If you count the [truth], it is probably the sixth time that you have been involved in this kind of incident......
But in Alex's eyes, this groggy girl was unexpectedly familiar: "Oh! Why are you again!? ”
Lin Jiaojiao: "????? ”
This ordinary girl didn't have Wu Ming's automatic translation function, and she hadn't learned Russian, so she naturally didn't understand what Alex's exclamation meant, but was frightened by his straight eyes.
To be reasonable, any normal person would be frightened by a man who was almost two meters tall on the street, with a strong body like a bear and a hideous scar on his face.
Wu Ming completely understood the voice of the old hunter: "The word 'again' is used very quintically...... Do you know her? ”
Alex took a deep look at Lin Jiaojiao, who took two steps back, and turned his head, and the expression on his face couldn't tell whether it was embarrassment or hideousness: "Oh, it's really a bad experience when I think about it, the last time I was tracking down the little guy who could modify my cognition, the person who suddenly appeared in the middle of the way was her......"
"Because of the suddenness of the incident, the aftermath of my fight with the little guy affected her, and she fainted on the spot. You know, I can't leave the lady who fainted on the side of the road alone, so I left a protective spell by her side, and I wanted to wait for the matter to be resolved before rescuing the lady, but by the time I turned back, the person was gone......"
Wu Ming found that he had learned an even more subtle truth at a very subtle time......
Now the reason why Lin Jiaojiao fainted in the protective mask can be found out: it is the handiwork of this macho old hunter.
Turning his head and glancing at Lin Jiaojiao with a vigilant face, Wu Ming couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this girl's luck is really not ordinarily good, and the probability that ordinary people can be effectively rescued when they are involved in sudden extraordinary events is actually very low.
"I saved her that time, when she was besieged by a sea of shadow monsters, it was thrilling......" Seeing that Alex was very interested, Wu Ming simply told him the experience of rescuing Lin Jiaojiao at that time.
Because of the automatic translation, Lin Jiaojiao could only understand what Wu Ming said, and couldn't understand how the latter established communication with that strong man, so she asked Zhao Jida, who was flashing with her eyes flashing with confusion, "How did Brother Wu Ming communicate with that big man?" ”
"Administrator, Alex, I have to interrupt you, I have detected an anomaly in the values of the film world." Zhao Jida, whose eyes kept flickering, completely ignored Lin Jiaojiao's question, and said to the two of them in a language that the latter couldn't understand: "It may eventually evolve into ...... The film world collapsed. ”
Wu Ming: "Collapse? ”
After hearing Zhao Xida's words, Alex's face suddenly changed: "The film world has collapsed?!" Oh, my God! No matter which way it falls, it will cause a catastrophe! The reason? Can the source be found? ”
Zhao Xida's eyes flashed, and she projected a suggested map marked with red dots: "The source is there, with that side as the center, the areas including here are slowly peeling away from the film world, collapsing and collapsing towards the real world." ”
Wu Ming moved his muscles and bones slightly, and then unfolded the invisible shield to protect a few people: "Then go and stop the collapse first!" ”
