Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 795: Lost and found


When the dense mountain forest finally appeared in sight again, Lin Sanjiu's steps faltered as if he suddenly lost all strength, and he fell half-falling, half-sitting down next to a bush. The fields were deserted, except for the gusts of wind between heaven and earth that made the forest rustle. After looking around, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you okay?" Yu Yuan stopped immediately and asked breathlessly.

Lin Sanjiu nodded, breathing heavily and lightly. In fact, only two days had passed since she left here for the arsenal; however, after several thrilling life and death situations, it felt as if years had passed.

"I really don't understand," she sighed as she thought of the members of the arsenal who came to assassinate her that night. "I went to the dream script to find a clue... but why did I bring out that parasite? After a lot of trouble, I still don't know who is trying to kill me."

"Someone wants to kill you?" Yu Yuan was startled.

Lin Sanjiu stretched out a hand towards him and stood up with his help. "Talking as we walk," she patted Yu Yuan on the shoulder and pointed ahead.

The two walked into the forest, and the rustling bushes and grass were separated and closed under their feet, leaving only two faint traces. As he was walking, Yu Yuan suddenly stopped and looked around: "Is this where you were attacked?"

"How do you know?"

Probably because Lin Sanjiu was surprised, he smiled, picked up a branch and made a few gestures: "Although it has been two days, you see...the branches and leaves are broken, and the grass has been stepped on. The traces are still visible."

Will traces remain for so long?

Lin Sanjiu had little experience in outdoor activities and could only stare at the broken grass blades, frowning and nodding.

"I left a special item here," she also picked up a branch and moved the bushes back and forth at the place where she last saw [Much Lover, Keep Colorful Time] in her memory: "Maybe I need your help to look for it."

"What item?" Yu Yuan asked as he walked: "What does it look like?"

At that time [Much Lover, Save Colorful Time] turned into a dead leaf and fell to the ground. Since the situation was urgent and she couldn't take it back, she just threw it in the forest; but she just finished her words. , the young man immediately turned his head, and even the tattoos could not conceal the dumbfounded look on his face: "You want to find a leaf in the woods?"

That is indeed unrealistic.

"But fortunately, this mountain forest is just a camouflage projection and can be recycled."

As Lin Sanjiu explained, he called out the camouflage control device that he bought with Exodus. Although she had developed trust in Yu Yuan, she still did not close the entire mountain forest. She only adjusted the range to a few tens of meters wide around the two of them and gently turned the knob.

The standing trees, the thick fallen leaves on the ground, and the bushes... all quickly twisted and retracted into the ground and disappeared into the land; among the deep green, an empty piece of sand became more and more colorful. Like an ever-expanding patch of alopecia areata, it finally stopped when it reached the edge of the range set by Lin Sanjiu.

Without the shadow of the forest, it was much easier to find the target; after the two of them searched around for a few times, Yu Yuan suddenly called her: "Look, is it that one?"

Lin Sanjiu looked around and saw that he was pointing at a small brown shadow on the ground in the distance with the branch in his hand, which seemed to be a leaf.

When she was about to walk over and take a look, a figure suddenly jumped out from the surrounding woods; a red and white color flashed rapidly in front of her eyes, and she rushed towards the brown and yellow shadow on the ground - Lin Sanjiu The reaction was extremely fast, and a surging consciousness rushed forward. Before the man could pick up the brown leaves, he knocked them away with a "bang".

The man fell on his back and fell to the ground. The red and white piece suddenly slowed down, revealing its umbrella skirt. She raised her head, revealing a pointed, white-painted chin.

It's Lollipop - or rather, one of the girls named "Lollipop".

"She is from the arsenal!" Lin Sanjiu shouted without looking back. Almost at the same time, he and Lollipop jumped towards the leaves on the ground: "Yu Yuan, please pay attention to the surroundings for me. !"

After all, the lollipop was close, and before the words could be spoken, it had already rushed to the side of the dead leaves. Lin Sanjiu repeated his old trick and released a wave of consciousness again; at this moment, Lollipop raised his head and glanced at her, and the umbrella skirt on her body began to spin rapidly - several streams of air rose from the corners of her skirt. The ground rose, forming several high-speed vortices around her.

The consciousness suddenly hit the airflow, was sucked in, and instantly decomposed and disappeared.

Lollipop breathed a sigh of relief, quickly bent down, stretched out his hand from the airflow protection circle and grabbed the leaf.

A layer of hot sweat suddenly broke out on Lin Sanjiu's back, and a surge of consciousness suddenly surged forward, but this time its target was not the lollipop - the consciousness and the girl's fingertips , bumped into the dead leaves at the same moment; Lollipop's fingers slipped due to his consciousness, and the dead leaves suddenly floated up gently, landing a few steps away.

"Don't stop me!"

The girl turned around and screamed. As soon as she raised her hand, a shadow pressed down on Lin Sanjiu. The latter paused, immediately opened the [Protective Force Field], and rushed out again. However, in less than half a second, Lollipop had already picked up the dead leaf.

As soon as she stood up straight, the shadow dissipated. Lin Sanjiu didn't even see clearly what it was - maybe it was just a prop to intimidate and deter the enemy.

"Thank you for the special item," Lollipop seemed to feel a big stone falling to the ground. He smiled at her easily, turned around, kicked off the ground and rushed forward: "See you again!"

Then she heard a heavy "thud" sound, as if she had hit some invisible barrier, and sat down softly along the air in front of her. She had just gathered enough strength to run at full speed, so the impact was very hard, and soon two streams of blood slowly flowed from her nose.

Lin Sanjiu was startled and stopped in a hurry. She touched around and discovered that the lollipop was surrounded by a transparent barrier. When she looked around, a black cover slowly came out of the air, sealing the transparent cabinet. .

"Fortunately," when she was surprised, Yu Yuan walked up quickly from behind, "I stopped her in time."

"Did you do it? What is this?"

Lin Sanjiu looked at the transparent cabinet and found that various different things were gradually "growing" inside it; strings of light bulbs lit up on the top cover, and metal rods stretched across the glass cabinet. Inside, one after another puppets appeared from the glass opposite... She looked carefully for a few times, and felt that this thing looked a bit familiar, but she couldn't remember what it was: "Is this your ability?"

"No, it's my item, but it has something to do with my ability." Yu Yuan said, staring closely at the transparent cabinet.

While he was talking, a console rose up from the outside of the transparent cabinet - when he put his hand on the joystick, Lin Sanjiu suddenly remembered. To confirm her guess, she looked up again, and sure enough, she saw a metal claw that had just been stretched out and was still shaking in the glass cabinet.

"This, isn't this a claw machine?"

"...Yes." Yu Yuan squeezed out one word.

Under the bright light, she could clearly see the faint redness under his tattooed skin - without raising his head, Yu Yuan took out a coin from his pocket; the coin rolled in. Finally, the light in the claw machine suddenly lit up, as if it suddenly came to life.

"It requires coins to activate," Yu Yuan whispered to the sound of tinkling music: "So I collected a lot of them in each world."

Lin Sanjiu looked at the motionless lollipop in the glass cabinet and didn't even know how to ask: "Then she...what are you going to do next now?"

【Claw machine】

One of the most popular tools for cheating money in electronic arcades and casinos. The things you grab always fall before they reach the exit. There may still be a chance for the doll to catch it. If the machine contains ice cream, electronic products or US dollar bills, the metal claw will look like it is made of paper, and even the action of "catching" will look so fake.

Now this game console is being used for robbery.

This special item is intended to create a dynamic balance between the robber and the victim. Although the victims trapped in the glass cabinet have lost their ability to move and have temporarily turned into "ragdolls", this does not mean that they have become fish on the robber's chopping board - trying to grab from the victim. To get what they want, the robber must have superb claw machine operating skills, spend coins, use the joystick, and grab the things bit by bit before moving them to the exit.

PS: Each time you use this item, you only have five chances to catch the doll. After five times, the claw machine must be taken back and the victim regains his personal freedom. Of course, if the victim doesn't run far and gets trapped again, then there are five more chances to catch the doll.

In the quiet mountain forest, a piece of bare sand suddenly appeared. Against the background of the rustling of the forest in the distance, Lin Sanjiu heard cheerful music tinkling in his ears, and his eyes were filled with the flashing lights of the claw machine.

"In other words, you want to use this metal claw to take the leaves from her hand?" she asked hesitantly.

At this time, Lollipop maintained the posture with his back against the glass wall, and his forehead was already bruised and swollen. The lower half of her face was covered in blood, but she couldn't even raise her hand to wipe it away. Only one pair of eyes could still blink and turn. Both of her hands were spread motionless on the ground, with the palm of one of them facing up, lying on a brown and yellow withered leaf - it was exactly "cuter, keep the colorful time".

"That's right," Yu Yuan breathed out and reached out to hold the joystick. "Where did this person come from?"

"She was one of the people who attacked me that night, but I don't know why she wanted my special item so much."

As soon as Lin Sanjiu finished speaking, a sound of "Uh-huh" suddenly came from the glass cabinet; the girl could not move even a muscle on her face at this time, only her eyes were widened, and she did not know what she wanted to do. Something to say.

When the metal claw swayed towards the girl, Lin Sanjiu actually started to get a little nervous: "Are you... good at catching dolls?"

"I bought this claw machine on the black market. How much do you think it cost me?"

As Yu Yuan spoke, the metal claw slowly sank and landed on the lollipop palm. The tip of Lin Sanjiu's nose was pressed against the glass, staring at the claw - the metal claw slowly closed, scratching across the girl's palm like it was tickling, scratching across the brown and yellow dead leaves, and finally lifted it up At that time, there was nothing inside.

She looked at the metal claw that was holding nothing and shook all the way back, unable to hide her disappointment: "I can't guess."

"It only cost fifty dragon specials." Yu Yuan's expression remained unchanged and he looked as calm as ever, probably because he was used to it.

"So little?" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but be surprised, "How can a special item be so cheap?"

"Because no one can catch anything." Yu Yuan said as he put in another coin. "I'm not exaggerating. At that time, there was a special product exhibition in a gamified apocalyptic world. Someone tried thirty or forty times in a row, but couldn't even catch a doll - an ordinary ragdoll - so they kept it until the end. It didn’t sell either.”

The second time, the metal claw finally caught the dead leaf. However, while wandering towards the exit, Lin Sanjiu watched the dead leaf fall gently and suddenly from the gap in the metal claw.

She couldn't help but sigh and watched the third coin being inserted into the machine. She didn't want to stare at the metal claw anymore and asked Yu Yuan, "Then why did you buy it?"

"One reason is because I like to play with dolls." Yu Yuan manipulated the metal claw and picked up the dead leaves again; but not long after, he reached into his pocket again~IndoMTL.com~ The fourth coin was taken out. "I'm the kind of person who always thinks I can catch him next time. Every time I went to the electronic arcade, I spent a lot of money on the claw machine."

In other words, she still had to be prepared to fight again... Lin Sanjiu glanced at the lollipop. The girl's eyes were fixed on the metal claws, and it looked like she would grab the leaves as soon as she regained freedom of movement.

"Of course, I can't get a box of ten yuan ice cream even if I spend forty yuan." Yu Yuan sighed and took out the fifth coin.

"Is there any other reason?" Lin Sanjiu had given up hope. Her whole body was tense, and her consciousness would pour out as soon as the claw machine disappeared.

"Yes." Yu Yuan replied while manipulating the metal claw: "The abilities I later developed in the apocalypse make me very suitable for such a special item."

Eh?

Lin Sanjiu was startled and turned to look at him - the metal claw opened at this moment, and the brown and yellow dead leaves slowly fell in her eyes and fell into the exit. Yu Yuan bent down, took out the brown and yellow dead leaves and handed them to her, smiling: "It should be said that as long as it involves mechanical operations, I am naturally much more proficient than others."

In a moment of thought, the leaf turned into a card [More cute, keeps the colorful time], and disappeared from Lin Sanjiu's hand.

The claw machine disappeared immediately, and Lollipop immediately jumped up from the spot; the two immediately took a step back, but saw her reaching out to wipe the blood on her mouth and nose, and cursed in a dumb voice: "I want your special item because I stepped into the sign-in copy you arranged! Because I couldn't find it, Fire Arm and I didn't sign in for two days. Fire Arm was killed this morning - how dare you say that you I don’t know why? No matter what happens today, I must get it!"

Feeling Yu Yuan turn to look at him, Lin Sanjiu sighed: "I forgot."
