With a soft "ding", the elevator door slowly opened.
The fluorescent lights flickered a few times on the ceiling before the room returned to its usual white state. The surroundings were quiet. Apart from the slight bump when the elevator retracted into the wall, there was no other sound for a few seconds. After a while, a ball-shaped object rolled out of the elevator and stopped not far from the door.
It looked like a white golf ball, but there was a realistic eyeball painted on one side of it. At first glance, it was easy to mistake it for a human eyeball. It spun a few times on the spot before it suddenly froze. Then, it flew straight toward the ceiling and stopped moving.
Lin Sanjiu cursed inwardly. She knew she couldn't hide it anymore. Given its appearance, it was undoubtedly a Special Item.
She was currently hanging from a few hanging rings, and her back was pressed tightly against the ceiling. There was nothing on the ceiling that she could use as leverage, but before she leaped up, she had used her [Power of Description] to form four hanging rings that could help her stabilize her body.
She loosened her grip and prepared to leap toward the elevator. From her angle, she could only see the front part of the elevator, but she couldn't see anyone. However, the moment her hands and feet left the hanging rings, she froze.
Even though she had loosened her grip, her body was still "floating" below the ceiling. She didn't fall at all.
"Huh? What's going on? "
Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. She turned her head and saw the "eyeball". It was still staring at her. Even though it was just a fake eyeball, its gaze was fixed on her as if it was a real thing.
"Wait a minute."
She suddenly realized something.
"Could it be that this gaze has the ability to pin someone down?"
She struggled with all her might, but she couldn't move an inch. It was as if someone had used a large piece of tape to stick her to the ceiling. It had been a few seconds since the eyeball rolled out. The person in the elevator could attack her at any time. Lin Sanjiu quickly raised her voice and shouted, "Have you heard of Route 300?"
Lin Sanjiu's voice echoed in the corridor, but her body didn't move. The fake eyeball continued to stare straight at her. Even her slightly longer hair fluttered in the air and gently pressed against the ceiling in the range of its "gaze".
Could it be that she had already used route 300 on this person?
As she thought this, the door of the elevator unexpectedly closed again, and all this time she saw no one inside.
The numbers on the screen suddenly changed.
The numbers jumped from "2 to 4" to "2 to 1". Lin Sanjiu finally understood. There was no one in the elevator at all.
The person on the 2-1 floor had purposely placed an eyeball in the elevator and sent it up. But had the man merely used it out of caution, to survey the environment, or had he known that she was here, and used it specifically against her?
The man did not give Lin Sanjiu much time to think. Immediately, the number on the screen of the elevator changed again. "2-1" jumped to "2-2", and the arrow was still moving up steadily. Then, with a "ding", the door of the elevator slowly opened again.
Before the person inside could step out of the elevator door, she could hear faint, noisy music coming from the elevator. The man seemed to be listening to music with earphones, and the volume was extremely loud. He was humming tunelessly, and his attitude was so relaxed that it was unbelievable.
"I can't use route 300 now!"
Lin Sanjiu was angry and anxious at the same time. She watched as the head with thick hair stepped out of the elevator. His gaze seemed to fall on the eyeball not far away, and he stopped humming. Then, the head looked up in the direction that the eyeball was pointing at.
"You are actually hiding on the ceiling," Tan Zhang looked at her, a little surprised. Since he was still wearing earphones, he spoke very loudly, "Where did those rings come from?"
"How could it be him?
Is Tan Zhang related to the twelve personalities? "
Lin Sanjiu suppressed her surprise and stared at him. She clenched her fist and a card appeared in her palm.
The eyeball could only lock her in place, but it could not restrict her movements. At least, she could still stretch her fingers. There was a way to remove the lock, but it would definitely alert Tan Zhang. Once she alerted Tan Zhang, she might not be able to catch him when she fell from the ceiling. Furthermore, Lin Sanjiu wasn't very confident in her idea. She had no choice but to keep her cool and wait for him to get closer to her.
"You really stayed," Tan Zhang sighed, but he refused to go any closer. "For Puppeteer? I really don't understand. Isn't this like sending yourself to the mouth of a tiger? "
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but frown.
"You are unlucky to have fallen into my hands." Tan Zhang lowered his head again and took out a funnel-like thing from somewhere. The funnel was transparent, as if it was made of glass. The only difference was that there were some purplish-black stains on the wall.
"If you have any last words, say them now. Oh, yes, you can say them. I can read your lips. "Tan Zhang smiled at her and pointed at his lips.
For some reason, this action struck Lin Sanjiu's mind like a bolt of lightning. "You are 12!" she blurted out almost immediately.
"Tan Zhang" shrugged his shoulders.
"Even if you can read it, you still don't get any points," he knocked the funnel in his hand unhurriedly. The funnel trembled and swayed as if it had come to life. "After all, I didn't even try to disguise myself just now … Since you can't move, I might as well save my strength."
The glass funnel was like a shark that smelled blood. It slowly poked its head out from the edge of 12's thumb and index finger. It swayed back and forth, sniffing. Gradually, it raised its head toward the ceiling as if it had smelled Lin Sanjiu's scent.
"I … I don't feel so good."
Lin Sanjiu said word by word in a low voice so that the person could see the changes in her mouth, "I don't feel well …"
12 raised one of his eyebrows. Before he could respond, there was a "puff" in the air. A large amount of blood spurted out from a fire extinguisher. It turned into a blood mist and floated in the air. In the mist of bright red, the figure on the ceiling seemed to twitch her fingers a few times. Then, her abdomen suddenly opened, and large chunks of black shadow fell to the ground.
His eyeballs were probably stained with blood, so he had lost his vision. The black shadows fell heavily on the ground. Finally, they could see clearly that they were internal organs, intestines, and minced meat. They were splattered all over with dirty blood.
Lin Sanjiu was like a pig that had its chest cut open. All the organs and blood in her abdomen had fallen out, leaving only her skin hanging from the ceiling. No one could survive such an injury.
12's eyes widened. Even though his face was covered in blood, it couldn't conceal his shock. Just when he took a few steps forward and looked up, he suddenly froze. He took a deep breath and said, "Something's wrong!"
"Even her internal organs have fallen out. Why is she still hanging from the ceiling?"
He said those two words a little too late. Just as he opened his mouth, the figure on the ceiling suddenly opened its eyes. All the blood and flesh disappeared, leaving behind a long shadow that was wrapped in a strong gust of wind. Lin Sanjiu reverted her [Cosplay Enthusiast Visited the Funeral Parlor Today] back to its card form. At the same time, the [Tornado Whip] in her other hand once again turned into a wind dragon and struck downward.
The eyeball was instantly wrapped in the wind. It jumped over the guardrail and fell into the depths of the spaceship.
However, as Lin Sanjiu could barely move her wrist, she couldn't control the direction of the wind perfectly. On top of that, 12 reacted in time. When the wind picked up, he quickly turned around and rushed to the elevator. He slammed the elevator door open. Lin Sanjiu's feet landed on the ground with a thud. He scrambled into the elevator.
