"Is this punishment? Apex 23S. The fastest update." Murphy Assamite was standing where Walter, Zach and Louise appeared, "Leave me here."
No one wanted to answer her, so Zach handed over the wine bottle and told her in a informing manner, "The food in this world will not really meet your needs. Everything you do here will be destroyed when you return to the real world." Reset.”
Murphy took the bottle, "I need a more detailed explanation."
Zach glanced at Louise for approval.
Louise nodded. To a certain extent, Louise was also curious about how Zach would explain it.
"Have you eaten?" Zach asked a slightly ridiculous question, because there were a bunch of half-dead humans lying next to Murphy. It doesn't take much thinking to imagine what kind of 'experiments' Murphy did after finding himself thrown into such a small world.
Murphy replied, "Eat." He glanced at the pile of half-dead humans around him.
Zach casually approached one, turned over, and groped the other person's body. It didn't take long to find the other person's wallet. Zach took out the man's ID.
explain a little bit
It's evening in this world, and there are city government staff walking this way in the distance, seemingly to urge the citizens who are still here to vote and leave as soon as possible... No need to guess, the staff can see the human bodies piled up here. time, it will be added.
Zach looked at the person's ID and said, "Mr. xx who lives on Becky East Street." He glanced at Murphy and said, "Today..." Waiting for Murphy to fill in.
Murphy was silent for a while before speaking, "In the afternoon, come here to vote at three o'clock."
Zach nodded, "Then I became your food and lost..."
"2 liters of blood, I'm very accurate."
Zach nodded again and glanced at the guy whose ID he took out, "If it weren't for the healing of your blood, he would be dead."
"I'm trapped here, and I don't want bodies everywhere." Murphy's logic seemed clear.
Zach tilted his head, "That's what I guessed too."
But do you think it's strange for Murphy and Zach to have such a dialogue? Don't think it's strange. They are an old married couple. There should be a tacit understanding.
Zach was very thoughtful. At the moment when he and Murphy showed a tacit understanding, he glanced at Louise to divert his attention, "There is no burden to come here now. The area of this place is smaller than we expected. What do you think? ?”
Louise nodded, "But it still barely includes the city government." She looked at Murphy with a hint of provocation. Louise doesn't care whether Murphy accepts it or not. Louise just wants to express herself and feel comfortable. Show what? Show 'we know what you're doing in this world'.
Murphy glanced at Louise, then turned his gaze back to Zach without responding, "You haven't finished explaining yet."
"Oh." Zach put back the ID he took out and pushed the poor Mr. xx back into the crowd. His words were like this, "In the real world, I believe this Mr. xx is also afternoon." He came to vote at three o'clock, but he definitely did not experience a near-death experience here, he simply voted, left, and lived his life normally."
Zach looked at Murphy with a look like, 'Do you understand? '
understood.
"When I return to the real world." Murphy held the wine bottle that Zach handed her, "Mr. xx in the real world has never become my food. This means..." Murphy looked at Zach said, "No matter how I eat here, when I go back, the fact in the real world is that I haven't eaten in all the time I was gone in the real world."
This sums it up pretty well.
Immediately afterwards, "This is not human blood." This is what Murphy said after prying off the cap of the bottle and smelling it.
"Grand Special." Zach shrugged, "At this time tomorrow, we will deliver new food." It was the city government staff who was about to leave and walked this way, who seemed to have noticed something unusual here. , flashing the flashlight, speeding up and approaching here. Zach was not prepared to watch Murphy take action against the citizens of Barton in any form.
The world has returned to a gray color that can only be passed forward or backward. Walter squeezed through Zach and Louise as deliberately as he had come, "Follow!" This time it was not going backwards, but moving forward.
"That's pretty quick~" Louise sighed, "I thought she would at least ask us why we left her there."
"She asked." Zach curled his lips, "Didn't you hear that? She asked me if it was punishment."
"Well, that doesn't count."
"Of course. Didn't you see that I didn't answer and she stopped asking. For Assamat, this means the logic is complete. She thinks this is my punishment for her. So she stopped asking."
"Hey, I feel more and more sympathy for her now."
"That's good." Of course Zach would say so. His girlfriend is sympathizing with his wife. This is the best position Zach can find in such a situation!
"It's a pity." Louise still shook her head, "If she wasn't so 'conscious', we might have a chance to find out from her what she was exploring in that world."
"There is still tomorrow. If there is no chance tomorrow, then the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow..."
Walter, who was leading the way, looked back, glaring at Zach with malicious eyes, "You want me to leave you here, don't you?"
Zach and Louise made the shut-up gesture together.
Walter turned his gaze back, not knowing whether it was meaningful or not to speed up his pace.
The three of them were quiet and bored in the gray world...
Cerberus began to appear, some appeared normally at the end of the line of sight and then ran towards them, and some appeared inexplicably in front of the three of them. But there is no need to panic. The Cerberus's target is not Zach and the others. It quickly passes by the three of them and disappears when they look back.
Zach could see that Louise wanted to ask, but since the boss here was Wall, he could only gesture to Louise, "Someone died in this world, and the hellhounds went out to bite the soul." '
Louise also gestured, 'Where? Patton? There are so many hellhounds, how many people have died. '
Zach shook his head, "We watched the news at night and didn't see anything happen to Barton. It probably wasn't Barton." '
'If it was Patton and it wasn't in the news, I wouldn't be surprised. ' Louise tilted her head, making a playful little joke...
Zach smiled and said, "Yes, it has nothing to do with us. Anyway, it happened in the past. We don't know about it, so just pretend we don't know."
Louise nodded.
Walter stopped.
"Are we here?" Zach asked loudly.
Walter looked back at Zach and said, "No." A little gloomily.
"Then why did we stop?"
"Because I'm lost!!" The gloom turned into anger.
Zach and Louise looked at each other, and Zach said, "Don't be kidding, Walter, we are walking in time. There are only two directions, forward and backward. We can't get lost."
"Then why didn't we see Cerberus when we retreated?!"
The three of them were quiet for a while, and Zach asked again, "What should we do now?" This was Zach sincerely asking others to take action. Trust me, this rarely happens to Zach.
"*!" Walter cursed, "Back off!"
"Return the same way?" Zach asked, and after seeing Walter's murderous look, "Good idea." began to back away.
