In a sense of relief, Ai Weili couldn't hold back his tears anymore, his legs and feet were weak, and he sat on the wet bathroom floor.

"Great," she whimpered, never expecting to be scolded one day to make her so happy. "Vero, you're alive, it's great"

The scolding on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped.

Although all this is incredible, logically speaking, it is only the "past Vero" who is still alive, and Ai Weili also knows this. But just hearing her voice again, Ai Weili already seemed to have hope of salvation, like a light at the end of the dark tunnel again.

It's funny to say, it's obvious that she is trying to find a way to save Vero, but she thinks that the person who will be saved in the end will definitely be herself.

"Who is it?" She heard a faint voice of her other self beside Vero, and was asking uneasily, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Wei Luo, you listen to me," Ai Weili was afraid that Wei Luo would hand over the phone to himself on the side, and hurriedly said, "Don't go out through the back door of the store!" Don't open the back door, don't go out—"

Did Vero believe her?

Wei Luo didn't speak, but Ai Weili's own voice came from his phone. "Who is it? What are you talking about? What do you think I'm doing? ”

"It's you who called." Vero said, his voice drifting a little farther away - Ai Weili knew that she had handed over the phone to her other self.

It's true, she's really meddling in history ten minutes ago.

Ai Weili was about to tell his other self not to part with Vero according to his memory, but suddenly paused.

"Hello?" The other, Ai Weili, asked cautiously.

Ai Weili sat in the dark bathroom, looking at the white rectangular frame in front of him, and was stunned for a moment, forgetting to speak.

No, there's somewhere here, it's not right.

If the call she and Vero had received ten minutes ago was the same one she had received at this moment, then Vero had already heard the warning to "don't go out the back door"; Even if she said "don't separate" to another Ai Weili at this time, according to her memory, this phone call would be completely meaningless - because at this moment, Wei Luo, who had already heard the warning, was still dead.

You can't just rely on Vero; The same warning must be given to her past self to stop Vero.

"Listen to me," Ai Weili said hurriedly, catching in his other ear the rustle of the paper man rubbing against the door. "Don't go out through the back door, you must not let Vero leave through the back door, that back door is fake, there is something waiting for you in the door, you will die if you go out, do you hear clearly?"

Ai Weili on the other end of the phone seemed to be taken aback, "Huh? Can you elaborate on that?"

Her own reaction was also different from the history of ten minutes ago, and she had not said this sentence before.

Through the bathroom door, Ai Weili heard a muffled "bang" in the convenience store. Outside the door, the paper man suddenly said faintly, "Huh? It was as if something had been found.

Doesn't he have a way to get in?

"I don't have time," Ai Weili said hurriedly, "In short, you must not go through the back door!" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately hung up the phone, threw herself on the toilet, and pressed the flush button again.

When the toilet flushes, the unique roaring sound suddenly fills the entire small room; Ai Weili stared at the bathroom door, so focused on the paper man who might have gotten in, that for the first few seconds, she didn't hear the shouts from inside the convenience store - "Hey, what the hell are you doing!" ”

Ai Weili was stunned and raised his head suddenly.

"When are you going to run to the bathroom? No, what I should ask is, can you still pull it out at this time? Although it was a little vague, there was no doubt that it was Vero's voice, who was shouting in the store: "Have you had enough, hurry up and come out to help!" ”

Is it - is it Vero? Is it really her?

That phone call of hers really saved Vero? Or is all this just another trick and trap of the convenience store, and when the "questionnaire" was conducted before, wasn't it also a bit like the voice of Vero?

Ai Weili listened to the "knocking" footsteps in the store, as if he was running for his life, and the muffled sound of hitting something from time to time, and longed to be able to rush out and see it with his own eyes; She was excited, scared, and trembling all over, but she was afraid that as soon as she opened the door, she would see a paper man.

After thinking about it, she stuck to the door and asked in a loud voice, "Where is the paper man?" ”

"You can't be using me as bait," Vero replied in a loud voice, "He's chasing me all the way, where is he!" , what the hell is this thing walking on—"

Although the tone really sounded like Wei Luo, she had only known Wei Luo for a few hours, and Ai Weili asked, "Do you remember the call you received?" What did 'I' tell you on the phone? ”

"Are you writing me a biography while I'm not dead?" Verro's anger visibly rose again, "Don't you have any common sense, at this time - wow, almost caused me to fall - why are you still hiding in the bathroom alone when you know that call told us not to separate?" ”

"You're a trap,"

Ai Weili let his voice go through the crack in the door, and said categorically: "You are not the real Wei Luo, you are just trying to trick me out." ”

"When I don't see you in the blink of an eye, your head turns into a balloon," Vero scolded angrily as he ran, "You just want me to die, right, if you turn into paper, it must be a 'villain' written on the paper-"

In the midst of her gushing and colorful scolding, Ai Weili grabbed the mop in the corner and quietly twisted open the bathroom door. She pushed the door open with a thin line, and in the gap in the thread that peeked out of the door, the paper man was not there.

She looked back inside the door, which was also safe, and there were no half-papered people sticking in through the gap.

"You can't fool me like this," Ai Weili used the same stubborn tone as he spoke to his mother, "No matter how you scold, I won't go out." ”

As she spoke, she pushed the door wider and poked her head out.

"I've been stuck with you for I don't know how many lifetimes"

Seeing it, Ai Weili's heart jumped, and at that moment, he almost couldn't help the muscles trembling all over his body.

It was the real, lively Vero, who had just rushed out of the short hallway where the staff restroom was; Her complexion was vibrant, her scolding was loud, and her clothes were completely dry, as if she had not stepped out the back door ten minutes ago—when she was still alive.

Vero flashed through the hallway, and the Paper Man followed.

From the side, this human-tall piece of paper is just a line; As he brushed the ground, the line continued to bend like waves—and when he came to him, Ai Weili didn't know where he got the courage, and saw the right moment, like a long-waiting baseball player, and suddenly swept the mop out.

The man painted on the paper, of course, had no "afterglow" to speak of, and when he was caught off guard, he was broken in half by the mop at the waist, and was hit far into the air by her strength; Ai Weili immediately let go of his hand, and watched him fall backwards with the mop that had turned into a piece of paper.

She rushed out of the hallway, looked around, and met Verro's gaze, who had just stopped not far away.

Vero by the shelves had just stopped, running with sweat on his face, a little bit of sweat shining on his forehead, and his brown eyes were as bright as a fawn. Although she was several steps away, Ai Weili seemed to be able to feel the vigorous beating blood veins in her body, pumping the heat out of her body again and again, as long as she reached over, she could feel the steaming heat around her, as if as long as she approached, everything would be fine.

That's right, it's the living Vero.

Vero opened his mouth wide, as if there was still something to say before he could say it, and he had to interrupt regretfully; She looked in the direction where the paper man fell, and then looked at Ai Weili who was running towards her, and stammered, "Don't you refuse to come out?" ”

Ai Weili couldn't say anything—she was afraid that as soon as she spoke, a hand would reach down and close the screen in front of her, making her realize that what she saw was just an illusion created by a convenience store, and that she was still alone in a desolate and dead reality.

As long as she comes back

"What are you crying about," Vero asked, looking at her with a little uneasiness, "because I scolded you?" I've been chased by the paper man for so long, I should cry, I damn it, you wait and cry, he's coming again. ”

Ai Weili also hurriedly ran with her, faintly embarrassed; She is sometimes like a broken faucet, crying when she doesn't want to.

Vero grabbed her hand, which was hot and wet to the touch as she had been running for her life; Ai Weili held her tightly with her backhand, and the bumpy airflow as she fled hit the blockage in her chest, so that she finally found her voice and said, "I don't know what's going on...... Did you tell me to go through the back door? ”

"Yes," replied Vero, as he ran, looking at the head of the paper man from the top of the shelf, "didn't you pull me alive and refuse to let me go through the back door?" That phone call we got was just a way to trap us here, so why do you believe it so much? ”

Sure enough, the past has changed, so what just happened has also changed?

"And then?" Ai Weili asked as he ran, "And then what did you do?" ”

"I want to ask you what you've done," called Vero without looking back, "I just opened the door, and before I could go out, you slammed it back on, and before I could scold you, the paper man was already catching up, of course I was running away!" As a result, when I turned around, you were gone, and I ran again, and I heard you flushing in the toilet! ”

She looked at Ai Weili's eyes, and she was a little admired: it can still be pulled out at this time, but ordinary people can't do it.

"Great, you didn't go out on your own," Ai Weili muttered without bothering to explain.

"I knew you still had the leisure to go to the bathroom, so I left by myself."

"No, it's not," it was not easy to talk while running; Ai Weili finally took a breath and defended himself: "You may think I'm crazy, but ten minutes ago, you walked out the door. ”

She still couldn't say, "You died then."

"I saw the consequences of your walk-out The warning call you received earlier was when I was hiding in the bathroom and called the convenience store," Ai Weili gasped as he ran desperately, "because I wanted to save you." ”

Vero turned his head sharply and said, "What science fiction are you talking about?" ”

"Now I don't have a chance to explain," Ai Weili looked back, almost his heart was beating out of his throat, and asked urgently, "He can't turn the things embedded in the building into pieces of paper, why don't we hide in the bathroom?" ”

She has been very bad at sports since she was in school, and she usually sits in the office, and after running around the store for a few minutes, she is now surrounded by Venus in front of her; Wei Luo is worthy of being a physical education teacher, and after running for so long, he can still say loudly: "You say that...... I have a way of proving that you're not talking nonsense. ”

As he ran past the beverage cabinet, Vero's arm seemed to have a spring in it, and he quickly pulled open every cold drink cabinet door he touched, allowing them to form a barrier behind the two of them.

"The beverage cabinet is built into the wall, and the door and the beverage cabinet are one." She whispered, "Look. If he really could only turn bits and pieces of paper into scraps, he would walk around. ”

The paper man's frozen smile had completely occupied the lower half of his face.

He didn't go around.

The paper man looked at the door of the cold drink cabinet that blocked the way, "tsk" twice, and did not get out of the gap outside the door, but slowly bent his waist.

The paper man was facing up, his back was on the ground, and he "swam" under the doors of the beverage cabinets, and his feet gradually got closer and closer to the two; The painted pair of pupils, as if looking down on them, pressed tightly against the lower eye sockets.

Ai Weili was suddenly stunned.

She really didn't understand why she hadn't thought of it; Maybe it's because of the angle, when the paper man "swam" from the ground like this, she suddenly remembered everything-

"I—I know where I've seen him," she said with a trembling breath, "and maybe we can be saved." ”

I said that the Wild Deer convenience store is very short, can it be completed in April? Eh, I really hope you can see the ending soon......
