Even though the elevator was closed, it did not stop Lin Sanjiu.
Quickly glancing at the "2-3" on the screen, she found a metal glove from the card library and unfolded it. With a slight "ka ka" sound, the glove quickly wrapped around her right hand, instantly increasing the size of her right hand by several times. This was one of the items she found at the bottom of the lake. This was the only one she could find. Her left glove was nowhere to be found. Even though it wasn't a Special Item, it was surprisingly light and hard. It seemed to be made of a new type of alloy.
Lin Sanjiu kept it because she felt that it was suitable for one thing: smashing things.
"I. Only. Have. Ten. Minutes. Left!"
Lin Sanjiu slammed her right hand on the elevator door with every word that burned with anger. The door buzzed and the sharp sound of metal clashing filled the entire corridor. When Lin Sanjiu finished her sentence, a piece of the door finally fell off with a loud clang, leaving a large hole in the door.
She gasped and took two steps back.
"I've been putting up with you guys for a long time!"
Lin Sanjiu leaped into the darkness and landed on a square-shaped elevator that was slowly descending. The cables and wires on the elevator wobbled a few times.
"If you have the guts, go back to Luther's body right now," Lin Sanjiu gritted her teeth and cursed incoherently. She swung her gloved right hand and punched the ceiling like a meteor. "When I find him, I will kill all of you!"
It took her a little longer to get through the roof of the elevator. When she finally got through it and jumped into the elevator, the elevator had already stopped at the 2-1 floor. It was empty inside. She wondered if Number 12 had left the elevator or if she had gone back to the elevator after realizing that things were not looking good for her.
It couldn't be a coincidence that 12 was on the same floor as the control room. Lin Sanjiu didn't know why, but X had always wanted her dead. Was there a better chance than now? As long as she could hold Lin Sanjiu off for another ten minutes, she, Bohemia, and Puppeteer would slowly die from the lack of oxygen, and X would just have to return to Luther's body.
Lin Sanjiu bit her lip and resisted the urge to look for 12. She strode toward the control room.
At the place that Alian described, she soon saw a semicircular silver gate in the distance. When she rushed to the door and was muttering to herself how to open the door, she heard a soft swoosh. The silver door slid open and retreated into the wall. Behind the door, Tan Zhang's face subconsciously looked up.
Before he could show any surprise in his eyes, a fist wrapped in a metal gauntlet rapidly expanded into a black shadow in front of his eyes, and then smashed heavily into his face.
"What did you do in the control room?"
Lin Sanjiu grabbed him by the throat and his collar and dragged him inside. She yelled angrily, "Is Luther here too?"
Even though "Tan Zhang"'s nose was broken, he didn't faint. His face and mouth were covered with blood, and his voice was so muffled that Lin Sanjiu couldn't hear him clearly. As he gasped for air, he struggled to free himself from Lin Sanjiu's grip. He waved his hand behind her, and a yellow-colored object fell on the floor of the control room.
The control room was spacious. Every wall was lined with vertical screens that reached the ceiling. Most of them were not activated, and they were all dark. Lin Sanjiu glanced at the screen in front of her, and she saw a round reflection behind her. It was slowly growing bigger, and it stood upright on the floor.
She was shocked. When she looked down, she saw "Tan Zhang"'s hand open.
[Defense Forcefield] had just lit up, but it was extinguished in an instant. Lin Sanjiu had almost forgotten that she had used up all her Higher Consciousness to block Puppeteer's attack when she was trying to break out of the encirclement. However, the moment the [Defense Forcefield] was extinguished, a formless and colorless force that she had seen before suddenly surged out from "Tan Zhang"'s palm. Like a giant iron fist, it smashed into Lin Sanjiu's lower abdomen and pushed her back.
"It's Higher Consciousness!"
When the realization dawned on Lin Sanjiu, the hairs on the back of her neck stood on end. She could feel that her body was just inches away from touching the large, round, yellow object. She twisted her waist, and the soles of her shoes rubbed against the smooth floor, creating a long, sharp screech. She staggered backward and managed to avoid the yellow object. At the same time, she saw the true face of the object.
"What a huge Pac-Man!"
There was a hollow mouth on the top of the yellow ball. If she hadn't turned around in time, she would have been swallowed by that mouth. The yellow ball turned around and aimed at her again. It continued to roll toward Lin Sanjiu. It was just like all the Pac-Man games she had played when she was young, but this time, she was a pea.
Just as she turned to run, the man on the ground stood up, panting. His face was covered in blood as he blocked her way. Lin Sanjiu immediately turned around and dashed out from between the two of them. The giant yellow ball also chased after her. The rumbling sound of its rolling grew louder. It was obvious that it had picked up speed behind her, and the floor beneath its feet shook violently.
Personalities could have their own evolved abilities, but was it possible for them to develop Willpower as well?
Is this person 12 or Tan Zhang? " She had never seen 12 use his Higher Consciousness before...
As this thought flashed across Lin Sanjiu's mind, she glanced at the screens around her. The blurry reflection of "Tan Zhang" did not rush to chase after her. Instead, he took something out from his pocket and plugged his ears.
Now, it was even harder to tell who he was!
The last time Lin Sanjiu fought with Tan Zhang, she had used Route 300 on one of his companions and rendered a "phone booth" ineffective. If both Tan Zhang and 12 would be wary of Route 300, she would have to think of another way...
How much time did she have left? Seven minutes? Six minutes?
Lin Sanjiu deactivated the item in her hand and stuck close to a row of vertical screens. She turned around quickly and brushed past the edge of the Pac-Man's mouth. In order to prevent "Tan Zhang", who was in the middle of the room, from launching a pincer attack on her, Lin Sanjiu had increased her speed to the maximum. At first glance, she could only see a faint shadow moving from one corner of the room to the next.
When she circled around every corner of the room, the time was right.
"Sink!"
Lin Sanjiu yelled in a low voice. As soon as she said the last two words, the [Power of Description] completed its mission. The floor of the control room tilted upwards and gradually sunk in from the edge to the center, forming a funnel-shaped terrain. "Tan Zhang" was caught off guard and almost fell. Before he could regain his balance, the giant yellow orb rolled uncontrollably from the edge of the control room. With a loud rumble, it rolled straight toward him.
"Come back!" Alarmed and anxious, he raised his hand and hurriedly faced the big mouth that kept rolling towards him. "Here!"
The Pac-Man crashed into the watch on his wrist and disappeared like a dream.
After the yellow orb disappeared, Lin Sanjiu's face, which was still covered with blue paint, appeared. She had pounced on the Pac-Man just now. As soon as the Pac-Man disappeared, she immediately sped up. In the blink of an eye, she was only an arm's length away from "Tan Zhang". She was enraged at being stopped. She punched him hard in the chest.
However, she had forgotten that she was still wearing the metal gauntlet on her right hand.
Initially, she only wanted to subdue him, but now, she had crushed his sternum with ease. He didn't have time to activate any protective measures, so she could even hear the sound of his bones breaking inch by inch like dominoes. It was a teeth-numbing sound. Lin Sanjiu quickly pulled her fist back, but it was too late.
"Tan Zhang" groaned and fell to the ground with a thud. He was not dead yet, but it didn't take a doctor to know that he only had a few breaths left.
"Are — are you twelve?" Lin Sanjiu quickly sat down beside him. Her heart was pounding, and she prayed that the man was really 12. Even though Tan Zhang had fought with her, he was just doing his job. He had no personal grudge against her, and he did not want to kill her.
The vacant look in his eyes caused her heart to sink to the bottom of the valley.
"Tan Zhang?" she called out softly.
The man's eyes responded and rolled toward her.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but hang her head and let out a long sigh.
"Why didn't you leave?" Lin Sanjiu smiled bitterly and said softly, "I'm going to die with the spaceship. Why are you still here?"
Tan Zhang slowly opened his mouth, and a hoarse breath came out weakly from between his teeth.
"No … She's not …"
"What?"
"My comrade from the organization … is here …" His breath was so weak that Lin Sanjiu was worried that he would die before he could finish his sentence, just like in the movies. "I … I have to pilot the spaceship for her, so … but …"
"But what?"
"Why did I only realize it now?" Tan Zhang slowly moved his eyes away and stopped at the ceiling. "Now that I think about it, she … She's actually not a member of our organization … She doesn't even belong to this spaceship … Strange, when did it start? I thought … I thought …"
Lin Sanjiu slowly sat up straight.
"Then who is it?" she asked hoarsely. She already had an answer in her heart.
"It's me."
