Doomsday Wonderland - Chapter 461

Chapter 461

"Wow, your companion left without any qualms . "

The ¾ of a head on a tree branch chuckled . It leaped off the tree lightly and stopped in front of Qing Jiuliu, floating in mid-air .

The cross-section of the girl's exposed face was extremely smooth . When Sunny made a flip in the air, a part of her brain could be seen from the cross-section . That cross-section was so smooth and flat that it didn't seem real but looked cartoonish .

Click . Click . Click . Qing Jiuliu finally managed to light the cigarette he placed back in his mouth . He inhaled deeply and calmed down . "Yeah…" he said as he exhaled .

Blinking her large doe-like eyes, Sunny watched him with some interest, "You don't seem to care?"

"We are just acquaintances anyway," Qing Jiuliu burped, "It doesn't make a difference who I'm with . It doesn't make a difference even if there's no one . "

"I like your attitude," Sunny pursed her lips and raised one of her eyebrows . Her other eyebrow was missing just like one part of her forehead . "Yup . I still haven't thought of a way to use you but I can sense your potential . . . With that face… Things will definitely get fun!"

"Really?" Qing Jiuliu responded sluggishly . "Your face doesn't look too fun . What happened? Where is your body?"

Sunny smiled .

Qing Jiuliu felt a massive force hit his back the very next second . It was as if he had been hit by a locomotive, he almost heard his backbone cracking . That impact knocked him off his feet and he tumbled a few times . He curled his body uncontrollably and started coughing blood . His crumpled cigarette fell out from his mouth and onto the ground .

Qing Jiuliu did not notice when that right hand appeared . He did not even know when it hid behind his back . It simply hit him without any warning . The force was so huge that he could feel his organs churning . When he struggled to look behind, he saw a hand in mid-air waving back at him .

"If you ever let me hear you saying that again," Sunny said meekly, "I'll thrust my hand through your abdomen . "

"Do you only have a head and a hand?" Qing Jiuliu panted as he reached out for the cigarette on the ground . "You certainly fit the description of a person with a broken body but strong spirit, huh . "

This time, when he heard her fist whizzing toward his chest, he vaulted with a single hand . As he flipped mid-air, he caught her fist with the momentum . However, that punch was too strong . Even though he caught it with both hands, the impact threw him several meters backward . Qing Jiuliu coughed and let out a guffaw almost as if he didn't feel any pain . He kept a firm grip on Sunny's right hand .

"A person can die even from a 10% blood loss . That is true even for a posthuman—"

"It's useless," the head's expression froze for a moment before a bright grin lit her face . "After I split my body limbs, my body isn't exactly like a normal person's . Look carefully . Can't you see that the blood in my hand is in a solid state? Otherwise, wouldn't my blood splatter everywhere while my hand flies?"

The smile on Qing Jiuliu's face froze . He cursed softly and threw the right hand aside . The fist circled once in midair before flying back to a spot beneath the human head . Right now, Sunny looked like an invisible person who was only showing her face and a hand .

"I'm quite curious about your past . Why don't you tell me about your time under the spotlight?"

As Sunny spoke with her gentle voice, many strangely-shaped shadows flew toward her under the veil of the night . The various fragments rushed and attached themselves to Sunny's head like iron filings drawn to a magnet . She seemed to be reassembling her body .

Qing Jiuliu took a step back and felt his calf hitting something .  He looked down and realized that somehow there was a wooden fence around him .

The wooden fence was like a toy . It was very low and didn't even reach his knees . The diameter of the enclosed area was only around 10 meters . However, Qing Jiuliu was stunned when he tried to step out from the enclosure .

He was sure that the synapses in his brain had fired the command for his legs step over the fence— but his legs did not move . Then, that "command" disappeared into an abyss without reaching his legs . He tried again but the outcome was the same .

"You can't go out, you can only move within the enclosure . You have become my little lamb, after all . "

While Sunny's voice rang out gleeful, Qing Jiuliu looked up at her, feeling a little confused .

Sunny's raven eyes sparkled under the dim night sky . The unnatural glimmer in her eyes seemed almost drug-fueled . That glimmer didn't belong to a normal person . It bordered on the edge of insanity . Yet, it was that same unbridled insanity which inexplicably gave her an intoxicating aura— 

Qing Jiuliu shut his eyes immediately and took a deep breath . When he opened his eyes once again, his expression turned serious . He observed the girl in front of him and realized that she wasn't complete .

She was like an incomplete puzzle . Generally, she still had a human form but she was missing various bits and parts . Sunny's left arm was missing . Half her chest and pelvis was also missing . One of her legs was made of sporadic bits . Despite that, she seemed to be standing perfectly fine .

Qing Jiuliu looked around but realized that his stick of cigarette was missing . "Ha—" he let out an irritated sneer . "I'm a little lamb, huh? What shall I call you? Shepherdess? Or should I call you physically deficient sheep-tard?"

He knew that his opponent would punish him swiftly with an attack after he said that but he didn't expect it to be so bad . Due to the enclosure, Qing Jiuliu didn't even have the space to dodge . When her fist hit his stomach, he instantly coughed up another mouthful of blood .

"Queenie!" Sunny shrilled . He could hear the anger in her voice even though he couldn't see her expression . "Shrink the enclosure! Shrink it!"

"Sunny," the other girl's voice came from the darkness behind Sunny . As her voice grew closer, the moonlight slowly revealed the girl's body . She looked at Sunny and answered her with a docile but slightly nervous smile, "Ten meters is the shortest diameter . I still can't—"

"You're useless," Sunny turned around and narrowed her eyes at Qing Jiuliu .

"Hehe!" She snickered again . "Forget it . I'll let you be for now, since you're so good-looking . "

"Oh my! So, the ability isn't even yours?" Qing Jiuliu somehow found another crumpled cigarette stick and held it in his mouth .

Sunny wasn't pissed off this time . She shrugged her remaining shoulder, "We came out from the same pocket dimension . She leveled up . I have to say, this ability suits her a lot . "

[We are all sheep]

The term "free-will" is just a lie from the devil . We are all lost lambs . Living the illusion that we can make choices freely, we have to suffer the terrible consequences of our choices . The only way to escape from this predicament is to hand one's entire fate to a leader . She will decide everything . Living obediently is the greatest happiness and blessing a person can get .

Instructions: The user must first set up a sheep pen beforehand . When the user's leader throws a person into that sheep pen, the person would become like a herded sheep . As time passes, the target would gradually become gentle and obedient . The sheep pen is not portable right now so the user will have to keep the target in the sheep pen for a certain amount of time . The length of time that the target should be kept in the pen would depend on the strength of his/her will .

"Oh no," Qing Jiuliu uttered suddenly but he didn't appear too worried . "I have very little willpower . . . "

His words were followed by a quiet sigh from someone hiding in the darkness . Sunny's and Queenie's faces stiffened immediately . Before they could figure out where the sighing came from, a large tornado ripped across the flat ground . It pulled out a few trees, the tiles on the pavement and even a rooftop . The tornado rammed violently into the wooden fence .

"You've got to persevere!" Sunny turned around, "I know you can!" 

As Queenie's face turn pale, the wooden fence shook . The fence vibrated violently as the tornado continued buffeting it . Even though it seemed like it would break into a million pieces the next second, it withstood the tornado nonetheless . When the tornado slowly died down, Queenie's face was already pallid . Thud . She sat heavily on the ground .

"I can escape with just a bit more . Why did you stop?" Qing Jiuliu was also sitting in the enclosure when he turned to the person behind him and questioned lazily . "

A person covered from head to toe in a black cloth crouched down slowly beside the wooden fence .

"You already knew that I didn't leave," Lin Sanjiu asked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry .

"You even kept the bed I wanted, so why would you leave me behind . "

"Drink your beer," Lin Sanjiu threw him a bottle of beer, "I'll settle the both of them . "

"It's you?" Sunny narrowed her eyes the moment she heard Lin Sanjiu's voice . "I knew you'd survive but I didn't expect you to dress up this way . Did you pretend to leave so Queenie would come out too?"

"Yeah, I want to settle this in one session . I didn't want to waste time searching for her," Lin Sanjiu continued with her makeshift cloak over her head . "How did you know I survived?" she asked icily .

"That's because I understand Harry's sick logic," Sunny flashed a mellow smile . "He probably expected this confrontation when he placed the few of us into the 'weed' exit . "

"What about Baldhead?"

"He's dead . He wasn't any fun alive anyway . "

Lin Sanjiu was startled for a moment . While she sighed inwardly, she suddenly remembered that Number 45, whose true identity was already exposed, died, whereas Number 47, who managed to keep his identity a secret, lived . Harry certainly had a sick logic .

"You…" Lin Sanjiu lowered the pitch of her voice as she gradually understood the situation . "I know . You split your body when you were trying to escape from me . She jumped from the leaf after you split into countless bits . Some parts of your body must have fallen through some other doors, right? Well, at least you still have a human-like form . It's must be hard on you . "

A twisted expression appeared on Sunny's convoluted face as her emotions ran high . She did not say a single word .

Pop . She suddenly split herself into countless small little pieces in an instant, which flew up toward the night sky . Her head was the only thing which remained in midair .

"I can't use the full extent of my ability in the greenhouse," her voice rang out from her numerous body fragments . "I know you can convert things into cards . Try me . How are you going to change me into your cards? After some consideration, I think I don't mind getting another lamb… to cook mutton soup . "

As her voice echoed, the countless tiny bits of her body seemed almost to have their own independent lifeforce . They came down upon Lin Sanjiu like torrential rain . Even though Lin Sanjiu whipped a tornado out from her [Tornado whip], the strong wind did nothing to impede the nearly hundred piece of falling flesh . Apparently, Sunny's intention was to let those bits of flesh come in contact with her skin . Even though Lin Sanjiu didn't know what would happen if they touched her, she didn't want to find out .

Lin Sanjiu wanted to deal with Sunny the same way she dealt with Sandwhale . She wanted to wrap all her opponent's body bits in her black cloth and change them into a single card . However, unlike Sandwhale's ability, Sunny's body fragments were too nimble and had an advantage as they could float . Lin Sanjiu tried to wrap her cloth around them but she failed every single time .

Watching as the countless body bits surrounded her, she noticed that her only escape route was into the enclosure whose door was now open . She clenched her teeth and finally resisted to urge to take out her [Empty-handed Kleptomaniac] . Instead, she ran toward the dense cloud of body fragments .

"You're courting death—"

Amidst Sunny's high-pitched laughter, a figure flew into the dense cloud of body fragments . The body fragments swarmed it immediately like a bee colony . Once it was caught within the swarm, the figure fell straight to the ground, as if it suddenly lost its lifeforce . Her expression changed before she could finish her sentence .

While the colony of body fragments swarmed and "consumed" the figure which was missing a left arm, Lin Sanjiu, freed from her black cloak, had already appeared above Sunny's head .

"Stop her!" she screamed . Unfortunately, before Queenie could stand up, Sunny's head which was flying rapidly backward hit Lin Sanjiu's palms .

Lin Sanjiu held Sunny's chin tightly as she landed on the ground . Lin Sanjiu grinned slowly at her .

"You can't even fight half as well as you think . I can't convert your head into a card," she said quietly . Lin Saniu seemed almost unaware of the countless body fragments flying toward her back and even Queenie . "This means that your lifeforce is in this head . "

Lin Sanjiu laughed after she said that . "Make a guess . Would your body fragments reach me first or would I crush your head first?"

Sunny's expression turned so cold it could freeze a person to death . After a moment of silence, she raised one corner of her lip reluctantly, "Queenie, let him go . Since she wants that man so badly, let's return him to her . "

The body fragments stopped and the door of the enclosure swung open soundlessly . Qing Jiuliu walked out slowly .

"I'll give him back to you . We'll—

Before Sunny could finish what she wanted to say, she heard a thump . Queenie was kneeling beside Lin Sanjiu''

"What are you doing?" Sunny asked sternly, raising her brow .

For the first time since they had known each other, Queenie did not reply . Queenie crawled toward Lin Sanjiu on her knees . With tears pouring from her eyes, she sobbed spasmodically as she begged Lin Sanjiu, "Please…"

Lin Sanjiu did not know which of her subconscious micro-expression on her face revealed her intention .

"If-if you don't kill Sunny," Queenie sobbed so hard that it was hard to hear what she was saying . Her face contorted from her fear and pain . "I-I'll do anything…"

Lin Sanjiu froze for a second . She felt no sympathy for Queenie but she found it a little hard to kill Sunny right in front of a person crying and begging at her feet . Lin Sanjiu heard footsteps heading toward her . It was Qing Jiuliu .

The latter's expression was blurry under the dim moonlight . The light from his cigarette glowed softly .

"Give her to me," he blew out a mouthful of cigarette smoke . He took out his cigarette and pointed at Sunny's head which was still in Lin Sanjiu's hand . After he took the head from her, he grabbed Queenie's arm and pulled her to one side .

"You don't have to deal with this matter anymore," he said as he walked away without turning her head .

Lin Sanjiu stared blankly at his back, feeling a little dumbfounded .

She watched as Qing Jiuliu whispered something into Queenie's ears . At first, the latter seemed confused and didn't seem to understand . After she understood his words, she started wailing loudly . After Qing Jiuliu whispered a few more words to her, Queenie's wailing gradually faded . She blinked and her eyes grew bright .

Sunny's face suddenly twitched . She stared at them vacantly for a few seconds before she finally understood what Qing Jiuliu meant .

"Queenie! You psycho bitch! No! I don't want that! Please, Queenie—" Her shrieks pierced the air .

However, this time, Queenie did not move but only looked back tenderly .

Sunny spat at her . The body which had just been pieced together split into a dozen pieces again . They simultaneously flew toward Qing Jiuliu's back .

Smash .

Without even turning his head, Qing Jiuliu gripped the empty bottle in his hand by its neck and smashed it . Then, he thrust the other end of the bottle with the broken protruding shards deep into Sunny's head .

The dozen pieces of body parts fell to the ground rapidly and lifelessly before Sunny could even whimper . They were now only a haphazard mess of broken body parts .

Queenie reached her hands out, trembling . Her face was covered with tears but she wore a smile . Qing Jiuliu placed Sunny's head into her hands and muttered "thank you" over and over again .

Qing Jiuliu turned around and tossed a glance at Lin Sanjiu . He turned back and placed his hand on Queenie's arm .

"I will absorb ⅓ of your blood right now," his voice was so gentle that it was almost compassionate . Each of his words spurred more tears from Queenie . "You will die quickly . It won't be painful . "

Queenie hugged Sunny's pale-colored head . She nodded her head profusely . She gasped for air as she sobbed . However, no matter how afraid she was to die, she did not pull her arm back .

When everything ended, Qing Jiuliu stood up . His cigarette glowed softly in the darkness once more .

"That…" Lin Sanjiu took a few steps forward . "What did you say to them?"

Qing Jiuliu lowered his head and hid his expression .

"I told Queenie that Sunny would definitely die . However, I promised her that I could kill her and merge their bodies together so that they would never be apart from each other . "

Lin Sanjiu was shocked, "W-why?"

When Qing Jiuliu looked up again, his eyes seemed to hold a galaxy of diamond starlight .

"On one hand, I wanted to set her mind at ease… On the other hand, you have a 1 . 8m female corpse which you can hand to Irezumi now . "
