Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 1872: The bracelet that crushed the sternum
Chapter 1876 The bracelet that crushes the sternum
On Bohemia's wrist, there is an opal bracelet.
Mixed among dozens of jingling and complicated jewelry, this green bracelet is inconspicuous; in fact, even if it is very eye-catching, the puppeteer will naturally not care about a trash fish or a broken piece next to him. What exactly is Jiu wearing on his body?
So, he couldn't tell on which day the bracelet gradually turned red.
It's as if someone injected bright red blood into the cat's eye stone. Every day, the red blood saturates and expands; every time the green stone is swallowed, Bohemia's complexion becomes paler.
Every day, she would draw a thin mark with the tip of her pen along the boundary line between blood red and translucent green. After drawing four or five marks, she and the puppeteer both realized that the remaining green on the bracelet would be completely replaced by blood red in about fifteen days.
That night, they stopped in a piece of sand.
The bonfire flickers on and off as it jumps, and the orange-red sparks are like dreams emerging from the night, floating widely under the dark blue sky. Beside the bonfire, neither the people nor the puppets moved, only the long shadows cast on the sand by the firelight were swaying gently.
Bohemia sat cross-legged on the ground and glanced at the puppet master hesitantly and cautiously.
"Sir, I have something to tell you..." She turned the half-red and half-green bracelet in her hand, lowered her head and said, "This...I found this in the endless forest of Lava. Something..."
The puppet master didn't say a word, as if he didn't hear him.
He did not respond, but Bohemia continued as if he had received some kind of permission: "I was lucky at the time, and it couldn't be more suitable for me, because one of its functions is to predict the wearer's The remaining natural lifespan..."
After life is divided into five segments, each segment becomes a new natural life span. The past four lives have no meaning to Bohemia - she doesn't even feel that they are her own - the only fifth life that truly belongs to her has only half a month left.
"The end of this life will come earlier than I thought..." She said softly, not sounding like she was scared, but rather confused. "That's right. Even if the upper limit of life span is more than 200 years old, how many people can live to the upper limit?"
"Tell the important point."
The puppet master's gloomy and cold voice startled Bohemia and brought her out of her trance.
She clutched the bracelet tightly, her knuckles turning white.
Bohemia took a deep breath, and when she raised her head, her eyes were wet and bright, like a pair of blood rubies soaked in water.
The tint of pink on her lips, the frizzy golden-brown hair floating in the air, the embroidered patterns on the cuffs and skirt corners... all seemed to be vibrated by a common string, rippling like water waves. Generate light.
When the waves break, she will break too.
"Sir...after fifteen days, can you put this bracelet away and give it to Lin Sanjiu?"
*
Lin Sanjiu had never seen any stone so red that it was almost like blood.
It was hard and cold against the palm of her hand, as if a hole had been opened in her palm. All the blood from her body poured and fell into the stone bracelet, leaving her own empty and dry body.
No wonder it looks like a piece of coagulated blood.
She wanted to hold the bracelet tightly and protect it, but she also wanted to squeeze it into pieces until it turned into powder.
Lin Sanjiu pressed it on her chest and unknowingly bowed like a shrimp on the ground; it was not enough, even if the stone bracelet hurt her sternum, she still felt that it was not enough - if she kept adding more force, Will she feel better if she breaks her skin, crushes her sternum, and presses the bracelet all the way into her flesh and blood?
Yes.
From the distant wind, there were intermittent strange sounds. It didn't sound like it was coming from a human being, but more like the howling and whimpering of a wolf.
In the chaos, something soft fell on her face - that was the last detail Lin Sanjiu remembered. Before she realized what had happened, she fell into a state of relief. In the darkness of happiness.
I don’t know how much time passed, but when she regained consciousness again, when she opened her eyes, she felt that her eyelashes and eyelids were lightly pressed, and then she realized that her eyes were still covered with a soft cloth.
For several seconds, Lin Sanjiu's mind was in a daze due to lack of oxygen, but her mood was very calm. For a moment, she did not remember what she was holding in front of her chest.
She didn't have the strength to get up, and she didn't want to reach out and lift the soft cloth from her face. It felt like the world was melting, and it seemed like she was melting herself, turning into a puddle of water on the gray hard floor tiles, shapeless.
"Are you awake?" The puppet master's voice was very plain, hoarse and cool.
"Bohemia," Lin Sanjiu remembered and whispered, "Bohemia..."
"If you want to listen to me, then shut up."
Lin Sanjiu stopped talking - her mind was in a state of confusion at the moment, she didn't know what the puppet master was going to say or what he had to say, but someone gave her an order and she obeyed. .
"Think about it with your mind. If I just leave you a relic, she would be full of garbage." Through the soft darkness brought by a piece of fabric, only the puppet master's voice floated and dissolved. in the world. "So I asked her why she gave you this bracelet."
Why?
"What...what do you mean?" Lin Sanjiu was startled by her own voice. She took off the cloth from her face, but still didn't dare to raise her eyes for a moment, staring at the floor tiles and asked: "How did she answer you?"
The puppet master whispered: "She said that this is of great significance to her. She said that you will understand it in the future, and she asked you to keep the things well."
Lin Sanjiu got up from the ground and was already a little out of breath when he sat down. "What will I understand? What is the meaning of preservation?"
"How do I know? I seem to be here to help you solve your doubts?" The iron-gray light flashed slightly in the corners of the puppet master's eyes. He slowed down his voice again and said: "On the fifteenth day, her clothes ~ IndoMTL.com ~ special items, jewelry... were all piled on the ground as they were, except for one person inside."
Lin Sanjiu was startled. "The person is missing? No body? Could she - maybe she didn't -"
The puppet master turned his head away and remained silent.
Lin Sanjiu's voice gradually fell down, and she still didn't finish her sentence. After all, Bohemia was a life that had been disrupted by the flood; she had no idea what the lack of corpses could mean.
She just didn’t expect that in the world of lava, she thought it was just two months of separation... The two months that she wanted to fulfill her wish for a gift package and give him some alone time... dragged on and turned into several years. All hope of meeting Bohemia again was finally cut off.
In the copy of Play House, the scene when everyone was making the floor in the kitchen was still so clear; it was so clear that when she stretched out her hand, she seemed to be able to touch Bohemian's thick hair, pressing it warmly against her. On his own arm.
"Here you go."
She didn’t know how long she had been in a daze until a small thing was thrown into her hand.
"The garbage she left on the ground is all inside."
After a while, the puppet master said again: "Recover your strength... don't keep sitting here and dragging me down."
In a daze, Lin Sanjiu put the bracelet and the storage key into cards together. There were only a few lines of words on the card of the bracelet. Apart from the function mentioned by Bohemia, she could not see anything else. Naturally, she could not think of what important significance it had to Bohemia. - Even after death, Lin Sanjiu must be kept away.
She really wanted to have a little hope, but she didn't dare to have hope.
She also wanted to touch her bohemian hair again.
When I originally planned the plot, I didn’t expect that Schrödinger’s Bohemia would appear...To be honest, writing this chapter made me feel uncomfortable...
