Right now, Lin Sanjiu was in a state of bliss.
After searching through ten corpses, she was so tired that she was panting. She squatted among the piles of corpses like a mushroom that had just sprouted from a mass grave. After all, the difficulty she was facing right now was too much for a normal person.
There were too many Special Items. She couldn't take them all! Even if she had an extra pair of hands, she wouldn't be able to use them all, let alone the time limit.
The artist couldn't do anything other than drawing, so he could only carry her bags. Lin Sanjiu found a few bags that could hold items. She ordered the artist to spread his arms and hang the bags on his arm. He followed behind her like a scarecrow. Every time she found a Special Item that had not been deducted as rent, she would stuff it into the bag.
In less than ten minutes, she had stuffed two bags full. It was actually enough to pay the rent. However, Lin Sanjiu didn't just need to find her stuff. She also wanted to increase her inventory. Fortunately, the artist was a Special Item, so he didn't seem to feel tired. He dutifully followed behind Lin Sanjiu with his arms outstretched.
"Hey, aren't you being too greedy?"
Lin Sanjiu was in a good mood now that the burden was off her shoulders. She even started chatting with the Pocket Dimension, "What kind of lousy boat is this? How dare you charge four Special Items as rent … Look at all the things I found. You've already taken more than half of them. What about this fish? "
As she spoke, she casually picked up a freshly dead freshwater fish from the ground and raised her voice.
"It's just an ordinary fish," the Pocket Dimension answered unhappily, "Didn't you find enough for rent? Why don't you return the boat? "
"Don't I still have time?" Lin Sanjiu threw the dead fish back into the water, just like how she threw away the dozens of decorative Special Items. "These things don't have an owner anyway. Why are you so worried?"
"Don't you want to keep some to pay the rent for the next batch of people?" The Pocket Dimension seemed a little distressed, "Don't you know about sustainable development?"
"Nope." Every time Lin Sanjiu finished searching a corpse, she would push it back into the water. Driven by her own interest, she was very efficient. In just a short while, she had already emptied half of the wooden platform. "How long have you been here? How many people realized that they could use the items at the bottom of the lake to pay rent? "
"Quite a few," the Pocket Dimension snorted, "In ten years, there were five people who realized this. Most of them died before they could reach this step. Some of them even used their teammates to pay rent. They didn't even think about the corpses at the bottom of the lake. Oh, I've already taken everything from this person. "
Lin Sanjiu was a little disappointed. She threw the candle and the corpse back into the water. She looked around, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She quickly took a few steps forward and dug out the black bag produced by the Munitions Factory from under a corpse. She had finally found the bag of weapons that she had dropped into the water!
Lin She couldn Sanjiu. Then, she of Lin She Sanjiu, Of the of, of, San, and She, Sanjiu of, of it of, had.
"I have a question," Lin Sanjiu picked up a sign and waved it. When the Pocket Dimension answered reluctantly, "I don't have any." She couldn't help smiling and shoved the sign to the artist. "For example, if you take someone's life as a mortgage, and the person is killed by someone else, and the items on him are not enough to pay the rent, won't you suffer a loss?"
"Oh," the Pocket Dimension replied, "I can't wait for that to happen."
"You can't wait for that to happen?"
"No," the speaker said slowly, "If you don't have a life, you can only pay me with a corpse."
"What do you want a corpse for?" As she spoke, Lin Sanjiu found the plastic bag she had thrown into the water. There was only one item left in the plastic bag. It was the coffee cup that was always full.
"You have no idea how useful corpses are."
Lin Sanjiu paused for a moment. Then, she whispered in agreement, "I know."
The Pocket Dimension seemed to be touched. He said slowly, "If I have a fresh corpse, I can make it stand up, talk, walk, move …"
Before Lin Sanjiu could ask "why", the speaker continued, "I can make it one of the guests on the lake. It can join the posthumans who don't know what's going on in the boat. Think about it. Isn't that an interesting situation? "
"Only at the very beginning of my memory did I have the good fortune to obtain a fresh corpse. I used it twice, and it was very useful! Unfortunately, corpses will rot … On the third time, the other posthumans noticed the livor mortis and ulceration on its body. Instead, they banded together and only two of them died. "
The Pocket Dimension sighed regretfully. Lin Sanjiu couldn't help shuddering. "Did the other posthumans get wiped out because of the corpse?"
"Where did you first appear?" Lin Sanjiu asked after thinking for a while.
"The People's Park."
"Soviet … Soviet Union?"
"How would I know?"
"But you are no longer in the People's Park."
"Yeah." Surprisingly, the Pocket Dimension's tone was calm. "Yes, I was taken away by someone. The lake, the forest, and the wooden platform that you see now … were all part of the People's Park. The place where the lake used to be is now a wasteland. "
Even though time was of the essence, Lin Sanjiu still took the time to draw a few lines on her face. "The person who took you away, is he …"
"Oh, yes. He has a rectangular face." The Pocket Dimension sighed. "After he took me away, my business dropped a lot. Hey, you only have five minutes left. Aren't you going to return the boat? "
The unsearched corpses were still piled up like a small hill at the end of the wooden platform. Lin Sanjiu cast a regretful glance at them. She had no choice but to agree hastily. When she finally managed to pull a corner of the sunken ship out of the water, she was so tired that she was seeing stars.
"Congratulations on successfully returning the boat. The deposit has been returned to you," the speaker congratulated her casually. "I hope you have a good time. Come again next time."
Lin Sanjiu lay on the ground, gasping for air. She had found a total of twenty-five usable Special Items, and she had paid the rent for seventeen of them. As she felt the long-lost power flowing into her body, she heard the sound of the lake water receding. She looked up and saw that the green water in the lake had shrunk again, returning to its original depth.
Once she regained her strength, she picked up all her belongings as fast as she could. She was afraid that if she was any slower, she would be treated as a repeat customer. After she put all the cards back into her body, just as she was about to walk towards the back of the house, the pocket dimension suddenly spoke, "Do you know the person who poached me?"
"Yeah, I guess so."
"Can you ask him to let me go? It's bad enough being a Pocket Dimension. It's even worse being a Pocket Dimension. I haven't had a customer for a few months now. "
"I don't have the final say, but I know who has the final say."
"Who?"
"A … friend."
"How about this," the Pocket Dimension said hesitantly, "If you can get that rectangular face to let me go, I will give you and your friend an Evolved Ability."
"You have an Evolved Ability?"
"I have received rental fees from many people," the voice in the speaker suddenly sounded arrogant, "I have everything, be it Ability, Potential Value, Items, or Higher Consciousness. What do you think of this ability? [Fate Reversal Divination] … Or this one, [Evil Search Engine]? "
Even though Lin Sanjiu didn't lack Abilities, she couldn't help feeling excited. She nodded in agreement. She used the [Planar World] to quickly browse through her newly obtained Special Items. After she was ready, she took a deep breath and walked to the back of the house. The process of leaving the Pocket Dimension was the same as when she entered it. With a flash of white light, the green trees and the park disappeared. When she opened her eyes again, she was still standing on the corridor of the Sea Conqueror. She hadn't moved an inch.
The corridor was empty. There wasn't a single person in it. She could only hear the hurried footsteps of people running in the distance. The frequency of the sirens had decreased. After receiving the order from the command center, all the posthumans seemed to have gone to their respective posts. After all, she had already spent two hours in the Pocket Dimension.
Lin Sanjiu looked to her left and right. She activated [No Coincidence, No Story] and strode in the direction she came from. There were only two possibilities. First, the rectangular face left after he was released from the Pocket Dimension. Second, he had to stay nearby to maintain the Pocket Dimension. If he had already left, there was nothing much to say. However, if it was the second possibility …
She pulled open the door of the Tool Room.
This was the only place in the vicinity where she could hide for a long time.
From the dark corner of the tool room, a shadow moved as if it had been startled. A wave of Higher Consciousness surged forward and slammed the shadow against the wall. The person struggled for a few times without making a sound. However, under the blockade of Lin Sanjiu's Higher Consciousness, he soon lost the ability to move his limbs. He was like a piece of chewing gum that was pressed against the wall.
Lin Sanjiu's eyes adapted to the darkness. Gradually, she saw the rectangular face that emerged from the shadows.
She didn't open her mouth, nor did she walk forward. At this moment, the hypersensory suddenly poked her Higher Consciousness like a finger.
Lin Sanjiu crouched down abruptly. A triangle formed by black dots hovering above her head missed its target. In that instant, her body was as agile as a snake. In the narrow space of the doorway, she twisted her waist slightly and, without turning her head, flung something small into the corridor behind her.
Following that, there was a soft sound of flesh being torn open, followed by a deep gasp that sounded as if it was squeezed out from a torn chest. The sharp, trembling voice sounded as if it was about to turn into a scream of pain. Lin Sanjiu stepped into the Tool Room and turned her head to look at the corridor. Then, she retracted her gaze as if she had lost interest.
"I found Natasha's cross star underwater," she said calmly as she walked toward the rectangular face. "Did you think that my ability and item had been taken away? You must have had a hard time lying in ambush at the corner for such a long time. But look, you're not entirely wrong. After all, the thing I used to kill you is not a Special Item. "
Lin Sanjiu turned a deaf ear to the man and stood in front of him. She looked at the man's face, which was expressionless. Lin Sanjiu turned a deaf ear to the man and stood in front of him. She scanned the man's face, which was expressionless.
