"You don't know?"
Bohemia's voice was sharp. "How could you not know when you bought the spaceship?"
Lin Sanjiu sat on the floor of the corridor, massaging her temples.
"When I bought it, I thought it was just a house," Lin Sanjiu murmured. "The seller didn't give me a user manual. How am I supposed to know if it can perform long-distance interstellar travel?"
"Why don't you ask Silas?"
"I did. There are too many terms. I don't understand them." Lin Sanjiu sighed, but she wasn't as anxious as Bohemia. "It seems to be saying that if certain conditions are met, we can conduct interstellar travel for a certain distance … But when I probed deeper into it, there were more terms that I couldn't understand."
Silas was different from the high AI in Puppeteer's homeworld. She was closer to the artificial intelligence system in the Chinese room. In other words, she didn't understand the meaning of a certain sentence. She just had the knowledge and the ability to process the sentence and give the correct response.
No matter how worried they were, there was no turning back. They could only grit their teeth and move forward. Fortunately, they had taken a lot of supplies from HMS Leviathan. Perhaps Silas could use some of them.
"Stupid!"
Bohemia was hopping mad, but there was nothing she could do. She spun a few rounds on the spot. The only thing she could do was to rush to the porthole and look out through the "Garden of Intersecting Paths".
"Where is the flood?" Lin Sanjiu sat up straight and asked.
"There is no reference in space. How am I supposed to know where it is? Anyway, the whole RH102 is submerged. It looks pretty good … Even though it's still moving forward, it's not as fast as Exodus. I don't think it can catch up. "
Bohemia pouted and grumbled, "If we really run into it, should we teleport together or separately? You still owe me a lot of money. I can't let you run away. If I have a visa with me, can I be sent to the visa world first? "
"There is no pattern to the flood, so anything is possible."
"You're the best at talking nonsense."
Lin Sanjiu didn't want to argue with Bohemia. She stood up and patted the dust off her body. She looked at the people in front of her and smiled. "I'm going to check on Puppeteer. You guys can go back and rest. We have been so stressed these days. I'm going to take a nap after I come out of the infirmary. "
After watching them disappear into the corridor, she turned and walked in another direction. Her footsteps were light and quick, and she pushed open the door of a coffee room.
"Silas." She closed the door, bent down, and whispered to the interactive console used to order drinks, "Lock the medical room. Don't let anyone in, including myself. It will be automatically unlocked after three hours. "
"Yes," the System replied gently. "The medical room is now locked."
"When I say 'begin', record what I'm saying." Lin Sanjiu cleared her throat and shouted, "Begin!" Then, she raised her voice slightly, "I'm taking a shower.
After making sure that Silas had recorded the conversation, she ordered, "If anyone knocks on my door, play the recording for them."
After closing the door of the infirmary, Lin Sanjiu looked around and boarded a levitating pod that had been waiting for her.
When she stepped into the control room, the lights came on one by one, lighting up the quiet and cold room. After giving Silas a few instructions, Lin Sanjiu rummaged through her card library and found a box that she had placed in the Sea Conqueror. She took out a bunch of metal tools from it. With the help of her [Power of Description], the metal tools slowly melted and reformed into a circuit box.
She had described the circuit box based on the equipment in the control room. It was as tall as a person, and even though it was empty inside, it looked like it was originally part of the room when it was placed in the corner.
Lin Sanjiu opened the box and walked in.
It was not comfortable to stand still in the dark and narrow box. Lin Sanjiu crossed her arms and closed her eyes to rest. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and sucked in a deep breath.
She seemed to have forgotten her Diary Card on the Sea Conqueror!
She had no time to go to Okto's room to retrieve her Diary Card. It was impossible to turn back now. She could only try to summon it again from a distance.
After trying for a few minutes, she leaned her head against the wall of the box in despair.
Even though the Diary Card stated that it could not be remotely controlled, Lin Sanjiu still hoped that she could try her luck. After all, remote control and summoning were two different things. But now that she was sweating all over, the Diary Card didn't respond as if it had sunk into the sea … It seemed that she had to get it back in person.
"Is there any other way?"
Lin Sanjiu recalled the instructions on the Diary Card and pursed her lips. Before she could figure out what to do, a piercing pain exploded in her body. It was as if someone was drilling into her bone marrow with a sharp electric drill. She felt so much pain that her vision turned black. She couldn't even feel what she was doing. Her body went limp and she slid down. Her forehead hit the cool wall of the cupboard.
It was as if … as if a part of her had been destroyed.
Lin Sanjiu knew very well which part of her had been destroyed.
The pain receded like a receding tide. It was gone as abruptly as it came. When her vision gradually recovered, she heard a female voice, "... What's that sound?"
She was very familiar with that voice.
It was her own voice.
Holding her breath, Lin Sanjiu stood up slowly and silently. The light shone through the gap of the circuit box's door, making her eyes look a shade lighter.
The other "Lin Sanjiu" had just walked into the control room.
"Some parts of the hull are aging. Please check and repair them immediately."
This was Silas's programmed response. In the next three hours, whenever she was asked "What was that?" or "What was that?" No matter who asked the question, she would reply with the same sentence.
"Lin Sanjiu" nodded. She was dressed exactly like herself. She had bandages, a tank top, and a pair of combat pants.
She even had a full set of clothes. Without a doubt, this was the result of Luther's transformation ability.
This reminded her of the problem that had been bothering her for a long time. Luther must be somewhere, constantly transforming for someone else. However, the MV Transocean had been abandoned on RH102, and there were only two outsiders who had come to Exodus. Could it be that Luther was really Luther himself?
"Give him the authority," the other "Lin Sanjiu" shouted, "Let him in."
"What level of authority?"
"Crew."
This was the authority she had given to the hairy brothers. To be more specific, it was the "Level 2 Crew" that Lin Sanjiu had found in the system. However, she had only told the hairy brothers that they had the authority of "Crew", so naturally, the fake Lin Sanjiu did not know that there were different levels of authority for crew.
She made a mental note that the hairy brothers had given their authority to this person, who was most likely Luyan, but they had kept Deluge a secret.
Silas did not pursue the matter, just like how she did not ask why "Lin Sanjiu" appeared in two different places at the same time. The door opened, and Luther walked in.
There was no change in his appearance, and the warmth in his eyes that seemed to carry the aura of the sun was still there. It was just as she remembered. His youthful appearance had faded away, but that unique expression and radiance was —
Just as Lin Sanjiu thought of this, she felt as if she had been slapped hard in the face.
The gentle expression on Luther's face quickly faded away, and it was as if a piece of human skin had been torn off his face. If Lin Sanjiu hadn't stared at him intently, she would have thought that his face had changed. However, that was not the case.
His facial features were still Luther's. However, after the change in his expression, he looked like a completely different person. One of his eyebrows was raised, and the other side of his mouth was pursed. This nonchalant expression, as if he was watching a show, was out of place on Luther's face.
