Survival Paradox [Infinite]

He thought he saw at least a hundred heads.

No... a thousand.

In the grass, on the branches, under the leaves...

Those heads occupy every corner of this forest like stones, fruits, or tumors on vines.

Each one has no facial features.

Even the way they came from is full of such heads.

I don't know if these heads are phantoms, or the world without heads before is phantoms...

...Then the water they drank before...

Wei Chi pressed his stomach and retched, but luckily he didn't eat anything, so he didn't vomit anything.

Shuo Shu picked up the first head and said, "These heads seem to have appeared only after Zhou Yiyang encountered this."

Wei Chi wiped his mouth, barely straightened up: "I have an idea."

Shuo Shu: "What?"

Wei Chi was about to speak when Zhou Yiyang who was lying next to him suddenly twitched, and then took a long breath, waking up from a brief faint.When I opened my eyes, I saw that there were still some heads hanging from the branches above my head. It was not good, but at least I didn't feel dizzy anymore.

He sat up, crying or not: "What's going on!"

At this time, there is no time to care about the physical and mental health of teenagers. Shuo Shu briefly told Zhou Yiyang that you had fainted for less than a minute, and that you hadn’t missed anything. Then he turned to Wei Chi: "Go on."

Wei Chi: "I was wondering... can we put our heads in that cage?"

Shuoshu was stunned: "Cage?"

Wei Chi walked up to him, touched that head as well, and asked, "How does it feel compared to that 'Iron Cage Man''s hands and feet?"

Shuoshu paused, thought for a moment, and said, "Almost."

"This is just an extremely immature idea." Wei Chi said, "The 'Iron Cage Man' has only four limbs, lacking a body, head and five sense organs, and there is a reminder like 'your ending' in front of him, so I was wondering—does this imply that, at some point in time, the physical state of the 'Cage Man' will be 'our end'?"

Zhou Yiyang understood, and said with chattering teeth, "You mean, if he lacks eyes and nose, we may also lack eyes and nose?"

Wei Chi: "It's just a guess."

"But..." Zhou Yiyang was about to cry, "How many...how many heads are there? How do we know which one it is?"

"No." Shuoshu said, "I took a rough look. Although these heads are different in size and angle, there are basically only a few types, and there should be no more than ten types."

Zhou Yiyang has never dared to look at these headers, not quite understanding: "Category?"

"That is to say, like industrial products such as mobile phones or clothing, they only have a few styles, but there are differences in large, medium, and small sizes." Shuoshu walked to a tree, and the vines on the tree "grow" A bunch of heads, choose one, and put the original one aside, "Look, these two look exactly the same except for the different sizes." He pointed to the other two, "These two, It's the same, you see, there is a mole on the corner of the mouth."

Zhou Yiyang boldly looked over: "Really..."

Shuoshu: "Okay, let's see now, how many 'people' are there!"

Zhou Yiyang was still a little scared: "No, you won't encounter something like the eyeball monster you mentioned?"

Shuoshu: "Who knows?"

Wei Chi: "If you're afraid, look for it quickly."

In the end, they found seven different "head shapes".

They chose those that were closer to the size of a normal person, and placed them in a row on the ground.

After all, Zhou Yiyang was still young, he had been frightened, and he had been working here for so long without encountering any danger. He had long since put aside his fear, and at this moment he was actually a little excited: "What if I saw something?"

"No." Wei Chi said, "Assuming this is a world designed by humans—well, it is a world designed by humans. The designer uses a computer to construct this scene. Seven or eight models, and then copy and paste in groups... In fact, we only need to check two or three groups to determine the number, but just to be on the safe side, we have passed at least [-] groups. I think there are no more in this forest. There are other styles of heads."

Zhou Yiyang, a little ghost, nodded: "It makes sense."

Shuoshu said, "So, which one is it?"

Among these seven heads, which one is the one they need?

Several people carefully observed the seven heads again, Wei Chi pointed to one and said, "This one."

Shuo Shu glanced at him: "Why this one?"

Wei Chi: "Feeling."

Zhou Yiyang: "You are too casual!"

Wei Chi does feel a little different about this head, and he insists on telling him what's different, but he can't. Obviously, this head looks ordinary, and the other heads have some characteristics—— There are moles on the corner of the mouth, cracked brow bone and so on.

But he... just thought it was this head.

He gave a random reason: "This is the head you touched at the beginning, it is something like a 'switch' that turns on this horrible scene, and this world, the art museum world, has the image of 'the beginning is the end' ,remember?"

Zhou Yiyang: "But I think it's too much taken for granted... It stands to reason that we should find more critical hints."

"Okay." Shuo Shu raised his hand to interrupt, "Can't we just take them all back?"

"Ah?" Zhou Yiyang seemed to have seen the picture of himself holding his head, and flinched, "There are so many...how can I take it..."

After Shuo Shu finished speaking, he had already picked up three heads, Wei Chi also picked up three, and there was one left on the ground, and the two of them looked at him.

Zhou Yiyang had no choice but to bite the bullet and hug the remaining one.

The three returned the same way.

It all depends on Shuo Shu, after all, his background has changed beyond recognition.

After passing the stream where they drank water at first, and turning back, the heads in the woods disappeared, and the world returned to the quiet and warm "My Neighbor Totoro" forest.

When Shuo Shu took out the condom, the teenagers collapsed.

Zhou Yiyang: "Why do you carry this thing with you?"

"What are you making all the fuss about? This is our standard equipment." Shuoshu untied the condom and began to fill it with water. "Don't underestimate this thing. It is insect-proof, waterproof, elastic, strong, and takes up a lot of space. Small. It can be used as a container, it can be used as a kindling, it can also protect guns, electronic equipment, and at the same time, it is also an excellent tourniquet."

"Then why didn't you use it to hold water when you cut the thorns?"

"How much water can a plant have? It's overkill, isn't it?" Shuoshu filled the water and threw a head backhand to Zhou Yiyang, "Take it, I can't take it anymore."

Zhou Yiyang collapsed even more.

The three of them spent more than five hours going back and forth, and at noon, they picked up Bai Yueguang and headed back to the "Iron Cage Man".

Bai Yueguang couldn't walk behind, he could only hold his back.

The heads in Zhou Yiyang's hands became three again.

It doesn't matter, it's numb.

When we arrived at the location of "Iron Cage Man", it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun had just passed when it was at its strongest. If Shuoshu hadn't come out with a bag of water, Bai Yueguang might have stopped cooking.

They put their heads in front of "The Man in the Cage".

Nothing happened.

Shuoshu: "It seems that we still have to choose one."

Wei Chi didn't speak, and carefully looked at the iron cage, its size...

Zhou Yiyang also found out: "How do you feel...won't you put it in?"

The opening of the iron cage doesn't look as big as the head.

"Try it." Shuoshu said, "Which one should you put first?"

Wei Chi had a strange feeling about the head he had chosen just now, and now that head was put together with the hands and feet of the man in the cage, the feeling was even stronger.

Seeing that no one spoke, Shuo Shu picked up the head that Wei Chi had mentioned: "Try this first?"

A creepy feeling emerged spontaneously, and Wei Chi blurted out: "Wait a minute!"

Everyone else looked at him.

He collected himself and said, "I feel that the skin color of this head doesn't match his hands and feet, so let's try that one."

The one he pointed out was closer to Zhou Yiyang. Zhou Yiyang picked up that head and muttered, "... I hope the whole army won't be wiped out if it is misplaced."

He handed the head to Shushu, who took it and put it in the cage.

I can't put it in.

There's nothing surreal about the mouth of the cage being too small and the head too big and stuck in the middle to fit.

For some reason, Wei Chi breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed at himself: "It seems that I was wrong."

"No hurry." Shuoshu said, "There are still six."

I took the heads one by one and tried them all, but they all got stuck.

Shuo Shu noticed Wei Chi's strangeness, and instead of insisting on taking the head he chose at the beginning, he tried all the other heads first, but to no avail, he finally picked up the last head.

He glanced at Wei Chi, and found that Wei Chi was not unusual except that his face was a little pale.

He put the head in the cage.

Visions appeared.

That head, put it in.

I don't know how it got in, but in an instant, the head appeared in the cage.

The two drooping pigeons in the cage suddenly became excited, slammed into the cage, and shed their hair like crazy. Within three seconds, the entire cage was filled with pigeon feathers.

A gust of wind blows.

Zhou Yiyang let out a scream.

Wei Chi and Shuo Shu were also taken a step back in shock.

The gust of wind blew away the drooping brim of the Iron Cage Man's hat, revealing a face without facial features.

The movement in the iron cage gradually calmed down, and the feathers disappeared out of thin air. The two pigeons seemed to have nothing happened, and their wings were sluggish in the empty cage.

Shuo Shu said: "You are right, Wei Chi."

Wei Chi suddenly covered his mouth, lay down on the edge of the cliff, vomited, vomited out a little water, and couldn't vomit out much.

After he finished vomiting, he turned around and found Shuoshu standing upright behind him, looking at him with a gloomy expression.

Shuo Shu asked him, "Wei Chi, what exactly did you find?"

"What's wrong with this head?"

"I don't know." Wei Chi wiped his face, looked at the iron cage man with an extra head, with a painful expression, "I really don't know..."
