Doomsday Wonderland

Lin Sanjiu met his own eyes in the mirror.

The other party's demeanor was extremely calm, and she seemed to be unaware of the cut short hair on her head; she sat in the mirror, in front of the copy creature who was engrossed in cutting her hair, and waited peacefully. The next time the scissors fell on her head.

Outside the mirror, the heads of the two dead people tied to the chairs were obviously only cut off with a few locks of hair, but the heads in the mirror were already bald - what about your own head? Lin Sanjiu thought to herself, if she could raise her hand to touch her head now, would she find that her hair was cut a bit shorter, or would it remain the same?

"Watch out!"

Teacher Yi's warning sound, together with the sense of crisis, suddenly increased her blood flow and rushed into her whole body. Lin Sanjiu didn't have time to look back from the mirror to see what was going on; her peripheral vision didn't catch anything, and it was almost her skin that felt the shadow pressing down in front of her.

The first reaction that rushed to my mind and projected onto my limbs was the fifth action: rolling like a newspaper roll.

The first step in this action is to fall to the ground first.

In that instant, Lin Sanjiu's body hurriedly fell to the ground; her field of vision seemed to be composed of fragments, most of it was the blurred shadow that was pressed down, and the other half was in the mirror that was quickly drawn up. Image - Lin Sanjiu, sitting in the mirror, and the hairdresser creature behind her, are still concentrating on cutting their hair just like before.

He didn't move, where did the danger come from?

At the same time that Lin Sanjiu's thoughts arose, her body also hit the floor. Just like the pantomime at the time, she quickly freed up one hand, pressed it to the ground, and pushed herself out like a newspaper roll—everything was going well, except when she first started rolling, on her forehead" Slap" was slapped.

"What's the matter?" Even Teacher Yi lost his mind, "What did you bump into on your forehead?"

Even Lin Sanjiu, who was rolling, was not slow, and his back quickly hit the cashier with a thud, and hurriedly jumped up again.

When she stood up and looked up, she realized what the danger was; the shadow that was pressing down on her just now was the barber creature who turned around and walked out from behind the chair at some point not far away. . The head that looked like an enlarged balloon was floating in the air, looking straight at her.

"Why..." Mr. Yi murmured, "the barber in the mirror just now... Didn't he always stand behind the chair and didn't move?"

That is, not only her own image will remain in the mirror?

It turned out that when the barber creature turned around and attacked her, his shadow would still remain in the mirror, and he continued to "trim" Lin Sanjiu's hair in the mirror... What kind of mess are there on this road?

"This is terrible," Lin Sanjiu said in his mind, "Even if I can kill this hairdresser... I can't stop the process of 'haircut' in the mirror. Besides, he doesn't look like he can Another dead thing."

The pantomime actor never raised her hand to touch her head, so Lin Sanjiu couldn't raise her hand and couldn't check her forehead; she could only stare at the barber creature on the opposite side, and took two small steps forward to the distance. In front of the farthest mirror, he quickly glanced into the mirror.

In the skin above her eyebrows, there was a thick black and shiny, round black strip as thick as rice flour.

Or it should be said that it drilled out from the forehead of the image in the mirror; when Lin Sanjiu suddenly turned his eyes back to the barber creature, she did not fling the black round hair in front of her eyes.

Does this mean that her forehead is temporarily clean? What happens when you get your "haircut" done in the mirror? Whatever it is, I'm afraid it's better not to know.

Compared with just now, the barber creature was much closer to Lin Sanjiu, so close that she could touch it with her hand - she just glanced at the mirror very quickly, but the other party had already deceived her.

This thing, seems to have two ways of action?

One is walking step by step normally, and the other is like teleportation, which takes almost no time, and shortens the distance with people silently... And when Lin Sanjiu looked at the barber creature without blinking , he stopped moving forward.

"Don't worry, I have already picked up all the foreign materials," said the barber creature's lips gradually cracked, and slowly waved his hands a few times.

He has scissors in one hand and empty in the other.

"I also picked a part of your own hair," said the barber creature, almost contentedly, "so if you want to extend your hair, you can already take part of it, but the whole head is not enough... I'll give you a little first, take a look The effect, you look in the mirror, isn't it good?"

Lin Sanjiu's neck froze, still staring at him.

Because the haircut process has reached the step of "hair harvesting", so he only needs to pat his head with his free hand, which is equivalent to completing a "hair extension"?

"I said that my efficiency is very high, and..." The barber creature thought for a while and said, "In 33 minutes, I can finish my haircut."

33 minutes?

Although she still didn't understand why, Lin Sanjiu shivered sharply—a mime actor had never trembled, so her shiver was like a spirit trapped in her body, hitting her cage-like skin once. , was blocked back again by Shen Shen.

33 minutes... Yes, when she stopped kicking the doors and windows just now, the countdown on the TV screen was 0:38.

From then to now, it's almost exactly five minutes.

"That is to say, the countdown on the screen turns out to be the countdown for a haircut?" Teacher Yi shouted, "No no, this should be a good thing... Half an hour is a long time, and it should be enough for us to figure out a way to leave. ,Right?"

The store is not big, and in theory, half an hour is enough to walk around and look at it carefully; but she doesn't even know what the "way to leave" is, how can she find it?

In addition, Lin Sanjiu still has a lingering doubt: Since the countdown to the haircut is displayed on the screen, what is a pantomime doing next to him? Do you simply want to show your presence?

"If you can go back and sit down with me, then I will be more efficient." The barber creature suddenly spoke, interrupting her thoughts.

He waited for a few seconds, and seeing that Lin Sanjiu still had no intention of going back obediently, he shook his head, as if he felt that this guest was not good, but he didn't urge her, only turned around slowly, facing the black. Leather chairs paced past.

When he stood still, he raised the scissors again and started cutting his hair against the air—from time to time, he would look up at the mirror, as if he had temporarily forgotten the existence of Lin Sanjiu himself.

This time, when Lin Sanjiu was in action, he didn't dare to get too close to the barber creature.

She stared at the barber creature, stuck close to the other side of the store, and walked to the depths of the store, that is, the curtain that separated the shampoo - after she left the mirror, she turned her head and glanced, and found that The image of myself disappeared from the mirror. Without the barber creatures, they seem to be just some normal mirrors.

When passing behind the hairdresser's creature, Lin Sanjiu let go of her steps and ran at the fastest speed allowed by the pantomime; she jumped in front of the curtain, she turned around abruptly, and found that he was still standing behind the black leather chair. Haircut the air at a leisurely pace.

On the TV in the corner of the ceiling, the countdown just jumped to 0:32. The smile on the mime's face seemed to fade a little, and he opened his mouth and yawned in boredom.

32 minutes, whether it is long or short, she has to hurry up.

Lin Sanjiu couldn't walk back, so she stared at the barber creature again, then turned around and walked straight through the curtain—she couldn't lift her hand to open the curtain either, so for a short while, the entire curtain was gone. The child was wrapped around her face, completely blocking her vision.

When the curtain finally slid down from his head, Lin Sanjiu was already mentally prepared to see the huge head again, but he didn't expect that there was only an empty darkness in front of him, and the barber creature didn't take this opportunity to give her." Hair extension".

There are two shampoos attached to the recliner, both on the left. Even though it was much darker than outside, Lin Sanjiu could still barely see where they were. They were already dirty and old, and even the reclining chairs were cracked. On the right side is a small cabinet, with towels and white cloths stacked on top of each other. I wonder if they are all shrouds if they are shaken off.

Above the cabinet hangs a piece of paper. Lin Sanjiu approached, leaned in and looked at it, and found that it turned out to be a printed form; there were very few words, so she recognized it without much effort.

The top line in large characters is "check-in form".

In addition, there is only one line of small characters on the entire table: "May 19, staff on duty" - after this half-sentence, the name that follows is not Lin Sanjiu or any word that can be recognized by humans .

If she really wanted to describe it, she could only use an analogy like this: The so-called "character" reminded people of a brain that was smashed to the ground with a "squeak"; In the depths, there seemed to be countless gray-white maggots surging.

Behind that piece of "name", someone crookedly ticked a tick.

"That is to say, before that guy came out for the first time, he still checked in here?" Teacher Yi said in disbelief.

Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to expose his back for too long, so he hurriedly turned around, facing the curtain and the shampoo, and looked around, but suddenly came up with an idea.

"Didn't the pantomime have an action to turn on the faucet and rinse his head?" She stared at the shampoo and murmured, "I have a 'hair' on my head now... Is that action landing here? already?"
