Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 1555: Escape
Yu Yiliu lowered his head and stared at the coffee cup in front of him. There was still a little coffee stain on the rim of the cup.
He looked at the brown stain and felt as if his eyelids were getting shorter and shorter, and soon they would no longer be able to cover his eye sockets and eyeballs - he knew that his eyes were already too wide, abnormally big. People would see that he was afraid, but he couldn't control it at all.
...Libbers is also finished.
The leather sofa chair in the restaurant under him became the only solid and reliable thing in the whole world. He sat on that small cushion, and the world outside him was like coffee with milk, with a flowing liquid color. The chaos came together, spinning and sinking, rising and falling, and falling apart... Only the two faces in front of him that were not faces were getting closer and closer to him.
"Wu Yiliu," the thing that once wore Libbers' face, threw his face on the dining table and asked, "Why are you stunned?"
Why can I still speak? Wu Yiliu felt that he was on the verge of coma and his mind was confused. If the muscles under the skin were exposed like the models in the physiological anatomy class, it might not be strange to be able to talk, but the two of them...the two of them...
"Seafood chowder, all the dishes are here."
The waitress with black eyes and half of her face saved him at this moment; with these words, a steaming heavy plate fell on the table in front of Yaichi Liu, interrupting attracted the attention of the two things opposite. The dining table was not big, and his plate hit Liebers' plate with a loud sound, which made the face that was not rolled up tremble slightly.
They haven't noticed that I'm different yet, they haven't noticed that I'm different yet.
"I, I'm going to wash my hands,"
Hold on tightly to this glimmer of hope, Wu Yiliu stood up abruptly, almost knocking over the coffee cup on the table, "Before I eat, I must wash my hands..."
"Be careful," Ellie reached out to hold the cup on the table in time. Her hand was still a human hand, and the thing that made the buzzing sound was the thing on her neck.
What is she and how can she speak? Are my hallucinations getting worse? If I reach out and touch their faces on the table now, will I be able to touch the real thing?
Yaichi Liu stumbled towards the bathroom, shocking a passing waiter to take a breath. If there wasn't still a stubborn and tenacious consciousness in the back of his mind, constantly reminding him to maintain a semblance of normality, he might have knocked over many people and tables; he opened the bathroom door and saw no one inside. He rushed into the private room of the toilet and hurriedly locked the door.
Rationally speaking, it is impossible for a human being to take off his face. How can there be ghosts in the world? This must be because of his mental problem. The toilet in Wu Yiliu's field of vision gradually became blurry. He wiped his eyes violently, and the back of his hands suddenly became wet, and his vision became clear again. He knew he was crying, he couldn't control it anymore, not only did he want to cry, he also wanted to vomit——
"You...can you see it too?"
A trembling female voice suddenly sounded in the men's room.
Wu Yiliu was shocked, wiped his face quickly, held his breath and did not respond. The woman closed the door and walked in. She seemed a little at a loss and whispered: "Don't be afraid of me. I...I have been afraid of being alone for a long time. Please, please answer me."
Wu Yiliu gritted his teeth and refused to say anything. Who knows what is out there, even if he has seen the other person now and the other person's face is normal, there is no guarantee that she won't take off her face after a while - not to mention, all this may be caused by his disease A figment of the schizophrenic brain.
The woman suddenly sobbed and seemed to be unable to bear it anymore. She pushed the door open and walked into the single room next to her. Yaichi Liu quickly moved a few steps in the opposite direction; he lowered his body slightly and saw a pair of black women's flat leather shoes with bows on the uppers.
"I wonder if I'm crazy,"
At least her cry is real. With a strong nasal voice and constant sniffing, the woman didn't know whether she was talking to him or venting herself: "I can't stand it anymore. I could still pretend in the company at first, but recently, I My parents, my best friends, almost all of them... their faces have almost all started to change, and those who haven't changed can't tell anything... I can't stand it anymore, I really hope that my face will also change..."
The door of the men's restroom was suddenly pushed open, and the woman hurriedly stopped crying.
Both of them held their breath. Each was locked in their own cubicle. They walked into the bathroom when they heard footsteps and approached the urinal. When there was a splash of water, Wu Yiliu thought for a moment, quietly opened the door a little, and looked out.
When the man zipped up his zipper and walked to the sink to wash his hands, his shaky face was also reflected in the mirror. He seemed completely unaware that his face was completely tilted to the side of his ears. The central part where his facial features and face should have been, was now just a stretch of flat human skin. There was a small black hole on the edge of the skin, which was probably an eye; after looking at his own appearance in the mirror, he left as if he was very satisfied.
The woman stopped talking. Through the partition board, Yoshiyanagi could vaguely feel the growing fear on the other side - he could imagine the other side's psychological activities: after all, he had never expressed his stance, what if he was also a person with a problem on his face? What should I do if I was exposed to the shape-shifter after what I just said?
Just when he was thinking about this, he heard a "click" sound next door, and the woman opened the door. Wu Yiliu hurriedly closed his door. Before he could make up his mind on what to do, the woman had already run away in a hurry.
He smiled bitterly.
It seems that what she just said is true, otherwise she wouldn't be suddenly afraid and wouldn't run away before she was seen... What about him? What should he do now?
It's impossible not to go out; but after going out, how should he deal with the two things on the table that were once Liebers and Ally? What will they do to themselves when they find that they can't take off their faces?
It would be great if it was really an illusion.
Wu Yiliu leaned against the door and stood in a daze, unable to show any courage. Subconsciously, he was like a child, feeling that as long as he hid long enough, something would turn the page - until a knock on the door startled him so much that he almost fell down, and then, there was a sound outside the door. Li Bosi's voice: "Wu Yiliu, are you okay?"
If you ignore what's peeking out from under his hair, he sounds pretty much the same as before. Wu Yiliu sat slumped on the toilet lid, his throat seemed to be stuck, and it took him a long time to say: "No, it's okay..."
"Then go back quickly," Liebers said, standing close to the door.
Wu Yiliu repeatedly wiped his sweat and tears several times, stood up tremblingly, and opened the door. There were no windows in this bathroom, so he couldn't escape like in the movie; he had no other way except to follow Liebers back to the restaurant.
Libbers put his face back. It was not installed perfectly, but hung casually and carelessly on the facial bones. Half of the eyes were like small flags in the wind, swaying back and forth in the air.
Yu Yiliu was escorted back to the restaurant by Liebers like a death row prisoner. There were still only a few guests in the restaurant, some were still normal, and some were so scary that no one looked at them, but no one showed any strange expression on their face.
The woman who just spoke sounded like she was in her twenties. At this time, there was only one young female customer of her age and normal appearance in the restaurant who was sitting by the window and eating. However, when Wu Yiliu walked by, he noticed that her expression was calm and her eyes were not red. He lowered his head and glanced and found that she was wearing a pair of white sandals.
The young female guest seemed to notice his gaze and turned her head towards him, revealing a face with delicate and clean features. Her eyes passed over Wu Yiliu and landed on Libos behind him. The center of her face suddenly began to sink. In the blink of an eye, a dark and deep hole sank. There was still some unknown substance in the hole. criss-crossed like something woven.
Yaichi Liu feels like a patient suffering from a high fever, unable to distinguish between hallucinations and reality.
...Is the woman crying in the cubicle real?
When he went back, Ai Li was still eating unhurriedly - even though he didn't know how she "eated" and didn't dare to look at it at all. Her face was still neatly curled, placed beside the dinner plate.
Wu Yiliu suppressed his horror and slowly sat down on the edge of the chair. Without even looking at Liebers, he immediately shouted to the waitress not far away as soon as he was next to the chair: "I'll get another cup of hot coffee, make it hotter."
"Aren't you feeling well?" Liebers asked, shaking his eyes.
"Coffee refreshes me, I feel better," Wu Yiliu responded with his head lowered. He was afraid that if he glanced at the two objects opposite him, he would vomit on the table, and he didn't even dare to open his mouth when speaking. Libbers said "hmm" and seemed to be thinking about something without saying anything. At this moment, another person walked out from the corner of the room in the direction of the bathroom.
It was a young woman, and the woman was wearing a pair of flat black leather shoes.
So she turned around and fled to the women's bathroom?
When the woman was distracted, she probably didn't expect that so many details would betray her: She had obviously washed her face with water, but the tip of her nose was still red, and her hair on her temples was wet, making her look even more obvious.
When she passed by a waiter, the waiter turned sideways and made way for her. Wu Yiliu's heart jumped into his throat almost immediately: She was not his hallucination, she really existed!
He must find a way to escape from Libos immediately, but after escaping, how can he contact her? Should we hide near the restaurant and wait for her to come out? She couldn't be lying. The way she lowered her head and didn't dare to look anywhere was simply a replica of Uichi Liu; no matter how hard she tried to hide it, the tension and fear could not be completely erased.
Just when Wu Yiliu's heart gradually began to heat up, he saw the woman hurriedly walked to the table of the woman wearing white sandals in front of the window and sat down.
His heart sank.
The white sandals had already returned to their normal appearance. He smiled at her and said, "Come back?"
Wu Yiliu could only see the back of the woman's head tapping up and down.
Of course it is impossible for that woman to go out to dinner with a deformed person. She seemed to have said something just now, "You can't tell anything about people who haven't changed." In other words, there are still people around her who haven't transformed yet, or to be precise, there is someone beside her who "she thinks the other person hasn't transformed yet." people.
"Let's go," the woman's voice was very muffled across the two Libos. Logically speaking, Ichiliu shouldn't be able to hear it, but he did hear it, as if his hearing power had been enhanced. "I'm a little uncomfortable, I, I want to go back..."
Why doesn’t the coffee he ordered come?
Libbers’ gaze almost burned holes in the top of his head. Ai Li didn't know when she put down the tableware, and placed both hands on the dining table, as if she was ready to grab something at any time. Impossible, impossible, they should have no reason to suspect that his face is different...
"You haven't moved much," the woman wearing white sandals said, "Are you okay? Do you want to pack it?"
When she murmured no need, White Sandals had already raised her hand and asked the waitress to bring the lunch box. Wu Yiliu turned his head and found that the waitress with dark eyes was walking towards him with a cup of hot coffee. He watched the waitress put down the coffee, then turned to look at Bai Sandals and responded, then went to get the lunch box.
...When their eyes intersect, they are more easily deformed.
He clutched the coffee cup tightly, and the scalding heat kept stinging his hand.
"I really don't have to," the woman said hastily, raising her head at her friend.
A big hole once again appeared in the center of the face of the white sandals, swallowing up all the nearby facial features and skin, so deep that it was impossible to see the bottom. The woman finally couldn't control herself anymore, and suddenly a piercing scream tore through the air in the restaurant - at that moment, all the heads turned towards her.
Despair gripped Wu Yiliu tightly. The only fellow traveler, the only normal person, before he could say a word to her, she was about to reveal that she was here.
"What's wrong with you?" The face in white sandals was still sinking into the central black hole, asking: "Why are you so abnormal?"
The woman couldn't answer a word ~IndoMTL.com~ She had been completely cut off from her senses. During her long, uncontrollable, heart-rending scream, everyone in the restaurant stood up.
The waiters, diners, and even the chef all changed their shapes one after another, and gradually gathered around the woman who was on the verge of hysteria, like a group of ants discovering a fresh insect corpse. Both Liebers and Ellie turned their heads towards her. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ichiliu forced himself to be brave, held the coffee cup, and stood up.
"Where are you going?"
When Wu Yiliu walked past Libos, the latter noticed that he had stood up and reached out to grab him. He had rehearsed this moment countless times in his mind. He raised his hand and poured a whole cup of hot coffee on Liebers' face - if that could still be called a face - when the other party heard a sound. Amidst the screams, he passed by several deformed diners and fled towards the door.
When he rushed out of the door, Wu Yiliu glanced back subconsciously.
... He could no longer see the woman. She was blocked by everyone in the restaurant, as if she had never existed.
