Perhaps, everyone had a dream of robbing a bank.
Half of the most popular forms of entertainment in the Twelve Worlds originated from other human societies that had been destroyed by the apocalypse, including movies, television shows, and books that were interlinked with each other. Among all these entertainment works, Bohemia was obviously a fan of gangster movies and crime movies. No wonder she felt that the police were just "bodyguards".
Perhaps her dream was to wear a coat, smoke a cigar, and be called "Don" by others. When she opened a bank vault, she found that it was full of special items. However, in the Twelve Worlds, she had no chance of realizing her dream. There were banks in the Heaven Underworld, but no one dared to rob them.
Before the word "bank robbery" dissipated in the air, Bohemia was already ready to take action. She jumped up and extended her hand to Lin Sanjiu, "Do you have stockings?"
God knows how long it will take for the teleportation, so why would she need stockings?
Besides, why would she have stockings?
"No way. If you want to rob a bank, you have to look like you're robbing a bank. You can also dig two holes in the paper bag. "
The plump man did not have a paper bag at home, so Lin Sanjiu reluctantly washed two of his pillowcases and opened a pair of holes. Fortunately, the junkyard was huge, so the man would not be back anytime soon. However, the more Lin Sanjiu thought about it, the more she felt that she was acting like a lunatic. Silvan was a construction worker in someone's house, and she was stealing pillowcases from someone's house.
"The junkyard should be quite far from the city. Let's drive there." With two wet pillowcases in her hand, Lin Sanjiu gestured to Bohemia with her chin and gestured to the old truck outside.
The direction was not important. Even if they could not read the road signs, they should be able to reach the city by following the traffic.
The junkyard was indeed huge. Lin Sanjiu drove a few rounds on the road, but the sound of the engine did not attract the plump man's attention. Initially, she was unwilling to give up. As she drove, she searched for Puppeteer, thinking that she might be able to find him somewhere. However, after searching for half an hour until she reached the exit of the junkyard, neither of them saw Puppeteer.
"He is really unlucky. If the flood had been a little slower, they might have found another visa and invited him to the "Edible Truth".
"But then again, what does the name mean?"
Lin Sanjiu could not think of anything. Fortunately, she did not have to think about it for quite some time. In a world where the end of the world had not come, entering the city was as relaxing as going sightseeing. Two wet pillowcases tied to the window fluttered in the wind. Bohemia poked her head out of the window and marveled at every building, shop, and facility that she had never seen before.
Not only her, but Lin Sanjiu also fell into a trance. She had almost forgotten what a normal human society looked like. There were so many unevolved ordinary people on the road, like a flock of carefree sheep. There were all kinds of men and women, chatting, shopping, eating ice cream, talking on the phone, waiting for people, crossing the road … Under the overcast sky, all kinds of lights were lit up early in the morning, and everywhere was filled with the smell of human life that had not been seen for a long time. Among so many people, no one doubted that they only had six months left to live a peaceful and abundant life.
Due to the lack of common sense in human society, when Bohemia was waiting at a red light, she said that the dog being led by a pedestrian was ugly. Both of them were rolled their eyes at the same time. She didn't take it to heart and concluded, "Although the dogs are ugly, the buildings here are quite interesting."
That was true.
The people in this world seemed to have a strange pursuit of architectural aesthetics. They didn't care about the practical issues such as shelter, density, stability, and other practical issues. They also didn't care about the harmony and unity of the architectural style. It was as if when they were building a building, their only goal was to be as unconventional and varied as possible. It would be best if the building didn't look like a building.
For example, the building that they had just passed by. If Lin Sanjiu didn't hear a pedestrian call it a biotechnology company, she wouldn't have thought that it was a building.
At first glance, it looked like a big cactus. It was thick at the top and thin at the bottom. Its body was round, and it stuck out from the ground at a slanted angle. There was even a layer of "white hair" on its surface. When Lin Sanjiu got closer, she realized that the layer of "white hairs" were actually tiny protruding out from the ceiling of the building. Honestly speaking, Lin Sanjiu had never imagined that she would one day use the word "protruding" to describe an office.
Aside from the "one strand" office, they also saw a "one handful" bakery.
It was a single-storey commercial shop that only had one floor above the ground. However, it took them a long time just to figure out how people could enter and move around inside.
The four to five shops were all bakeries. They popped out from the middle of the sidewalk unreasonably and crowded together. Their "roots" merged with each other, and only the upper half of each bakery stretched out in all directions. The windows were lit with orange light, and it looked magical and warm in the gloomy weather.
Customers could only buy bread from outside the windows, but did the bakers also go in through the windows?
Buildings like this were everywhere. In fact, there were too many strange sights along the way. They were even more dazzling than the Twelve Worlds Centrum. The two of them wandered aimlessly for a long time, and they almost forgot their purpose.
"Why don't I see a bank?" Bohemia asked, turning her head.
"Maybe you didn't recognize it."
The bungalow in the junkyard looked so ordinary that it might be the epitome of "shabby". To be honest, Lin Sanjiu didn't know what most of the facilities and buildings she saw were. However, judging from their style, they seemed to be very proud of their appearance.
"Let's ask someone."
"Before robbing a bank, let's ask someone which one is the real bank."
"Otherwise, do you have a better idea?"
No. Lin Sanjiu stopped the car by the roadside and called out to a passerby, "Hello! Can you tell me where the nearest bank is? "
The man with a gray face who was wrapped in a coat was stunned. "Bank … Bank? What? "
Lin Sanjiu and Bohemia looked at each other.
"He might be an idiot," Bohemia whispered.
"That can't be right … Don't you think it's more likely that they don't call a bank a bank?"
"Oh … Damn it, you know what I mean."
Lin Sanjiu poked her head out again. The residents of this city were quite peaceful and polite. They had just whispered a few words to each other, and the man did not move his feet to leave.
"That is … Hmm, the word is on the tip of my tongue, but I can't remember it. You must have had this kind of experience, right? It's the place where you save your money. What's it called? " She laughed a few times, but the man still looked at her blankly, "I didn't. I don't know."
Sigh.
"For example, if you only spend half of your income and save the other half, then the place where you save the other half is called …" Lin Sanjiu listened to her own voice. She couldn't believe that she wasn't mentally ill.
"Ah!" The man with the gray face suddenly understood. He pointed at the intersection in front of them, "Turn left there. Drive for 200 meters and you will arrive."
The two robbers thanked him politely and drove towards the place where they were going to rob. Lin Sanjiu still didn't know the name of the place. Even though the buildings were so strange that they gave her a headache, the cars on the road were more normal. Fortunately, that was the case. Otherwise, Lin Sanjiu couldn't imagine how she could park her car between two octopus-like cars.
The car was parked outside an umbrella-shaped building. There were many thin and long slits at the "root" of the building. The gap was barely wide enough for one person to pass through. If they lined up in a row, it would be the twenty to thirty doors of the building. Of course, if they did not see pedestrians going in and out of the narrow gap, they would have to spend half a day just to find the entrance. From the outside, the bank seemed to be quite large.
Sitting in the car, the two of them took a deep breath at the same time.
He had killed a lot of people before, but now he felt that robbing a bank made him nervous.
"You have to act like a professional," Bohemia said as she took the pillowcase off the window. "Put this on when we get in. Then you can scream robbery. Don't move. Point your gun at them and make them lie on the ground. I'll go get the money from the counter. "
… It was obvious that he had watched a lot of movies.
"I don't have a gun," Lin Sanjiu confessed. "I fell into the lake with the one Silvan gave me."
"What lake — how come you can't even get a gun?"
"Why do you need a gun? Aren't abilities and special items stronger than guns? "
"No!" Bohemia was stubborn. "This is not professional! Besides, these people will only be afraid if you have a gun. If you go in with a colander, they will laugh themselves to death. "
… She didn't have a special item that looked like a colander either.
Seeing that the bank was right in front of her but she didn't have a weapon, Bohemia couldn't help feeling anxious. "Forget it," she said impatiently, "If you don't have a gun, just show me a Special Item. Kill the chicken to warn the monkey. Don't talk, I know what you want to say. You can't kill people, but can't you hit the wall?"
Lin Sanjiu opened the car door, feeling gratified. "You are really different from before."
"Shut up."
There was no shortage of plastic bags in the junkyard. The two of them each took a dirty plastic bag that was used to store money. They stuffed pillowcases in their pockets, and their bodies were stained with the dirt from the junkyard. They looked like two beggars as they approached the entrance of the bank.
Lin Sanjiu had never seen such a weird door before. The door did not lead straight to the ground. Instead, there was a narrow slit about twenty to thirty centimeters above the ground. Mimicking the others, the two of them chose a narrow crack that no one could pass through. Then, they lifted their feet and crawled into the crack. Half a minute later, the two of them finally poked their heads out from the other side of the wall.
"Were they drunk when they built the building?"
Bohemia grumbled as she put down one of her feet and stood in the lobby with Lin Sanjiu. Even though the outer wall was so thick that it would take them half a minute to climb, the lobby was not that big. It was only a few hundred square meters, and there was not a single window in the lobby. The entire lobby was illuminated by the white ceiling.
Scattered little counters were scattered all over the hall, without any order, as if the construction workers couldn't even line up in a straight line. They looked back and forth, but they couldn't figure out who the bank staff was and where the money was. They looked at each other and quickly took out their pillowcases.
