"What's wrong with you?"
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The voice of the woman with the red brick wall rang again and again. It was as if by repeating the same words a few times, she would be able to convince her target to admit that she was the real owner. "It's me, Mrs. Manas! Don't you recognize me? "
Lin Sanjiu could almost hear the sneer the woman held back at the end of her sentence.
This thing, no matter what it was, was obviously very happy when it was toying with her.
"Didn't you walk a few steps just now?" the voice said suggestively. Said the voice suggestively. "What would happen if you followed the movements of the figures on the wall?"
"What would happen?"
Lin Sanjiu felt like she was going to fall from a high place. She wanted to grab onto something to steady herself. Mrs. Manas had disappeared from her mind and was replaced by the voice of the woman on the red brick wall. It was as if someone had poked a hole in the back of her head and someone was peeping at her through it. When the eyeball disappeared, it would be replaced by a flesh-colored finger, eagerly trying to squeeze through the hole.
Lin Sanjiu quickly retracted her hands and pulled up the fabric of her pants until it was tight on her thigh. In this way, she could control the movements of her limbs at the same time — at least she still had control over her own body. It seemed that only when she was not paying attention, her limbs would be raised high in a grin, and she would be carried quietly forward.
"But … is there any point in not walking anymore?"
God knows how far she had strayed from the correct path.
"In this kind of environment, there are only the two of us left. We have to trust each other. Otherwise, other things will take advantage of us …"
Lin Sanjiu bit her lip and listened to her heavy breathing. She tried to ignore the woman on the red brick wall who was still chattering in her mind. She had to think of a way to find the correct path.
If she was the one who moved, it meant that the red brick wall did not move. From this perspective, perhaps the red brick wall could be used as a reference. Even if she didn't trust the wall, she could walk back to the spot where the iron rod fell. The iron rod was like a mark that could tell her the starting point when she first saw the figure on the red brick wall.
If she could find the starting point, there would be hope. This land had been shrouded by the haze of the apocalypse for almost a hundred years. There were no longer any bricks or sidewalks. She must have left her footprints on the ground. If he could find his starting point, he would be able to find the correct direction, right?
She turned the idea over in her mind a few times, and the more she thought about it, the more confident she became. In order to find the iron rod, Lin Sanjiu had to blow away the smoke again. Her left hand was still gripping her pants. With a thought, the [Tornado Whip] card appeared in her right palm. The woman behind the red brick wall seemed to have sensed Lin Sanjiu's intention. She immediately asked in a slick voice, "What are you going to do?"
Lin Sanjiu did not answer. The whip slid down from her hand silently, creating a crack in the thick fog.
"Don't tell me you're going to see —" The woman's voice paused for a second, as if she had almost said "see me" out of habit. "Look at that red brick wall?"
Lin Sanjiu closed her eyes. Through the dim light that shone through her eyelids, she could still see the funny figures waving their arms and legs on the red brick wall.
"Are you under some kind of influence?" The woman's voice suddenly became a little more serious. She sounded a little like Mrs. Manas. "You even changed your walking posture when you looked at it. Why don't you learn your lesson? Why do you still want to see it?"
It seemed like this thing really didn't want her to look at the red brick wall. "Why?"
Lin Sanjiu thought for a moment. The red brick wall was deeply immersed in the smoke. Normally, the prey wouldn't be able to see the cracks on the wall. They could only hear its voice. "Could it be that the cracks on the wall are not supposed to be seen by people? Maybe they have some kind of weakness?"
That was the first reason she could think of.
"Don't you think it's weird that you want to see it again and again?" The woman tried to persuade Lin Sanjiu, "It's too often. Maybe you want to see it and you have all kinds of reasons to see it. It's also because of its influence … "
'Did it really think that I'm Mrs. Manas?'
Lin Sanjiu's only response was to raise her hand and conjure a small tornado. Just like last time, the tornado broke through the smoke, and the roar dissipated a few steps away from the red brick wall. Along with it, the thick fog that filled the area dissipated.
This time, she was not surprised to find that she had indeed moved again.
The iron rod moved further away from her, even though it was only a few meters away. The cracked head and shut mouth of the figure it had marked was still hanging on the wall by the broken red brick wall.
From the farthest point of her vision to the figure in front of Lin Sanjiu, who was dancing with its mouth open. Lin Sanjiu remembered very clearly that this was the first time she came face to face with this figure. They were like puppets on a string. Their hands and feet were pulled by invisible strings, and they followed her step by step. If someone played music at this moment, she had no doubt that they would be dancing on the red brick wall with smiles on their faces.
"Where are you going?"
When the voice in her head asked, Lin Sanjiu had already sprinted toward the iron rod. Her guess was right. There was not a single blade of grass near the red brick wall. She saw a row of slightly crooked footprints on the black muddy ground. The distance between each step was very large. It was as if she had lifted her legs high into the air when she was walking.
As soon as she started running, she realized that out of the corner of her eye, the figure on the red brick wall was also retreating rapidly. Its feet kicked out, lifted up, and dropped behind it. Though it did not turn its head back and its limbs were stiff, it was still following her at the same speed.
Just as Lin Sanjiu broke out in a cold sweat, she suddenly realized that the figure on the red brick wall was retreating at the same speed. It kicked its feet out, lifted them, and dropped them behind it. Even though it did not turn its head and its limbs were stiff, it was still following her at the same speed.
Lin Sanjiu quickly braked in front of the iron rod and carefully avoided the footprints on the ground.
That's right, it was indeed her own footprints. The figure on the red brick wall was still the woman with the cracked head and shut mouth. Lin Sanjiu couldn't believe that she could find her starting point so easily.
"Wait a minute."
Lin Sanjiu frowned and glanced at the direction of the red brick wall subconsciously. She seemed to have noticed a detail just now.
The smoke was about to close up again. Lin Sanjiu glanced at the footprints she had left and the long red brick wall on her right.
The second reason why the voice did not want her to see the red brick wall surfaced in her mind.
While she was thinking, the voice in her head did not say anything. It seemed to know that it could only hold its breath and wait for Lin Sanjiu to move on to the next step.
Before the indomitable leaden fog thickened again, Lin Sanjiu aimed in the right direction.
It didn't take long for the fog to cover her limbs. When she couldn't see her limbs, she wasn't even sure if she had started walking. Perhaps, she had already walked for a while, but she didn't realize it.
After taking a few steps deliberately and clearly, she forced herself to stop. She grabbed her pants with both hands to make sure that she wasn't moving.
"Am I heading in the right direction?" she asked reluctantly, "... Mrs. Manas."
There was only silence in her head.
Lin Sanjiu heaved a sigh of relief and took another big step forward. This time, she felt it. If she wasn't careful, her limbs would slide out of her body as if they were smeared with oil. She would slide into the shape of the figure on the wall. It was like a person who couldn't help but smile.
"Am I heading in the right direction?" she asked as she walked.
The woman on the red brick wall immediately answered, "Yes, it's this direction. Hurry up."
Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to imagine what would happen if she was wrong.
She closed her eyes and rushed in the direction the human figure pointed at.
