Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 720: Lin Sanjiu’s Shopping Day (2)


With a "crash", the rolling shutter door hit the ground heavily, and I squatted down to lock it. This ordinary door can only tell others that the store is closed, and has no effect on preventing evolutionary thieves - Lin Sanjiu is sure that she can punch a hole through it with just one punch.

"Anything that the store cannot take away, the business money has been taken away." When Changzhi led her the way, it seemed to be aware of her eyes looking around: "It is very safe here during the day, but no matter where it is at night , it always seems to make you evolved people uneasy."

As the night grew darker, many shops also closed their doors; one wooden house was folded inward dozens of times by its owner, and finally turned into a thick pile and carried away. The lights that were still in business in twos and threes illuminated the streets in half-darkness, making them feel in a trance; at some point, round streetlights slowly rose in the sky. The street lamps shed orange light from mid-air, floating slowly along with the footsteps of pedestrians. The two people's shadows were stretched out on the road, and the shadows stretched straight to the end without touching the third person's heels.

“Don’t look at these streets that are deserted,” said the cracked girl, who was a very responsible guide. “Then it will be lively in another place—another way of being lively.”

"How to say?"

"'The only thing you can’t find here is lack itself.'" Changzu shrugged, "Although the black market has almost everything, some things are suitable for being put in the public eye, and some are only suitable for being put away. On a deserted street corner in the middle of the night."

"But what I want to buy is a house..." Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but interrupt.

"Yes," Changzhu said matter-of-factly, "Because it's a house, you have to buy it quietly in the middle of the night. Isn't that why you came to ask about it when it was about to close?"

What's the point of this?

At 1:25 in the morning, Lin Sanjiu, who was full of doubts, followed a degenerate through half of Black Market and walked into a neighborhood with floating lights and shadows.

The street lights suddenly became sparse and no longer followed people; neon lights and geometric lights dyed the night into various colors, jumping and flickering in the air with a frenzy of excessive energy.

If that area of ​​the street had fallen into a deep sleep just now, then this place has just woken up. Several evolvers yawned as they climbed up to a building and peeled off its outer skin bit by bit from the top - it was a thick skin several meters thick with textured pores, as if the entire building All were put into a big skin bag. In fact, if it hadn't been for a long introduction, it would have been difficult for her to tell that this was actually a building; because its exposed body was ruddy and breathing together.

"It needs to put on this layer of skin before sunrise and enter a resting state." Perhaps seeing Lin Sanjiu's interest, the cracked girl stopped: "It will peel it off at night. This building can be affected by young people. If people are welcomed, you will be able to see its carnival on the way back soon."

As the two of them continued to walk forward, there were gradually more and more figures in the streets and alleys. Men and women dressed in various costumes leaned against the wall, sat on the road, or wandered unsteadily; they passed a lighted paper roll between each other, and there was an occasional burst of laughter amidst the clinking of wine bottles.

A woman as tall as Lin Sanjiu naturally attracted a lot of attention along the way; but no one glanced at her for a long time, as if the mask on her face made her invisible. The eyes of those young people passed through its body without any hindrance, just like passing through the air.

"You just said that this building is very popular among young people." Lin Sanjiu looked at the back of the cracked woman's head as she walked. From the rear, it looked basically the same as a human woman; its dark brown hair lay smoothly on its shoulders, and the ends were simply cut with a knife.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"I thought of a question." Lin Sanjiu hesitated for a moment and asked, "You must be a young man too, right?"

The cracked girl walked for a while without saying a word, and after a while, she heard a "hmm".

"How old are you?"

After walking for a while, he suddenly stopped, pointed to a tavern-like door not far away, and introduced: "Did you see those two tightly closed red doors? That's one of the more famous ones in this neighborhood. Flower shop. If you visit a flower shop, be sure to choose a place with a good reputation; not only are the flowers tamed, but they also regularly remove their glands and teeth, so the risk is very low."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two narrow red doors opened, and a man opened the short curtain and walked out with a red face. He seemed to have had a few bones removed, his body was weak and his eyes were blurred; but with a strange sense of satisfaction on his face, he walked away with heavy steps like muddy water.

Lin Sanjiu glanced at it and changed the subject: "What is that place for? I don't see that man holding flowers in his hand."

"Flowers are service tools," Changzu led her into an alley. "I've heard a little bit about what they do specifically, but it's hard to say. One is that I've never been in it, and the other is that the black market has created it for humans. There are many new desires that were not available before, and then industrial chains have been developed to satisfy these desires. I don’t know which one the man satisfied when he went to the flower shop just now. If you want to know, you can go in and try."

Lin Sanjiu thought for a while and decided to flip a coin to decide whether to go in or not - when money is no longer a threshold, everything in this world becomes a pure, self-serving experience.

At nearly two o'clock in the morning, she found herself following Changzu into a men's room.

"Wait a minute," she began to wonder if she was not wary enough of this degenerate species, "I want to buy a house."

"I know, you have said it several times."

The cracked girl glanced at her behind the mask, then walked to a cubicle with a closed door and knocked twice.

"Who is it?" A young man used his own voice to interpret the four words "idle and idle", "Pooping!"

The cracked girl seemed to hesitate suddenly for some reason.

It held the mask on its face, and then its palms suddenly hit the door panel like raindrops, and a burst of intense "ta-ta-da" sounds erupted - Lin Sanjiu finally saw the cracked girl for once This type of ability: In less than a second, it hit the door panel at least a hundred times, and each hit landed on the same point, quickly making a small dent.

"Coming!"

The man cursed and opened the door. Taking a long, swift step, he stepped aside.

Lin Sanjiu glanced at his lower body and was pleased to realize that he had not even unbuttoned his pants just now, and the toilet seat behind him was also closed - in fact, this cubicle was like a small office: There were many documents-like pieces of paper nailed to the wall with tacks, the toilet was used as a chair, and there were several small iron boxes piled on the floor.

Although the man who opened the door had a round face, his eye circles and face had a layer of gray and black, as if he had never had a good night's sleep since he was born. From that pointed nose, it was impossible to tell what race he was. There are too many people in the Twelve Realms who cannot identify their race, so it is not surprising. However, Lin Sanjiu suddenly heard Teacher Yi grunting, took half a step forward and looked at him carefully, and was immediately surprised: "You are not Evolver!"

"What are you doing?" Pointy Nose scratched his round face impatiently, without even looking at him like the other people on the road just now. "Who are you? Have you never seen ordinary people?"

Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but looked at him curiously: "It turns out there are survivors in Biluo Huangquan... No, that's not right, you are too young."

The old world in the past has ended seventy years ago, but the man in front of me looks to be less than thirty years old. Ordinary people cannot be teleported from other worlds, so to speak——

"You are a very simple person," Pointy Nose rolled his eyes. He made a circle with one hand, extended his index finger with the other hand, and made a very inelegant gesture in and out. There was no smile on his face: "Don't you know? No matter what time it is, people will inevitably Do something like this. If you do it, you will inevitably have a baby~IndoMTL.com~After you give birth to a baby--hey, are you here to see me for menstrual hygiene?"

Lin Sanjiu glanced at Chang Zuo. The guide suddenly became very quiet, and she had to say it herself: "I came... to buy a house."

Standing in the men's room and saying she wanted to buy a house, it was so bizarre that she suspected she had fallen into a prank.

The sharp nose paused and suddenly lowered his voice: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" A look like that of a neighborhood committee aunt who was keen to worry about others appeared on his face, which was very different from the look just now: "Come on, don't I'm stunned, come in quickly! You didn't chat with anyone on the way, did you? Did you tell anyone that you wanted to buy a house?"

He almost didn't ask, "Have you been followed?" Lin Sanjiu blinked and saw Zhang Zu nodded towards her. After thinking about it, he finally walked into the cubicle full of suspicion: "What's going on?"

The pointed nose immediately bolted the door and put his ear against the door to listen for a while. Lin Sanjiu's hearing was much better than his, and he had already heard that there was no one outside except Changzhu. However, he seemed to trust his ears more, and after a while he turned around and nodded to her: "I am Di Mo. Real estate agent around here."

The two questions "Why do you work in the toilet" and "Why are you so sneaky about buying a house?" gnawed at Lin Sanjiu like moths, to the point where she didn't know which one to ask first.

"Don't worry, I believe this area is safe." Di Mo looked serious, "I just moved to this new address, and the gossip I sent out is only valid for three days. You...the guide you are looking for , very well-informed, I found the right one. I won’t ask you for your name, just tell me a pseudonym. Come on, tell me, what kind of house are you looking for?”

Lin Sanjiu stared at him and began to wonder if the "house" was another name for poison in the twelve realms.
