With Lin Sanjiu's speed and Silas's help, ten minutes was more than enough for her to catch up with "Luther." However, not long after they rushed out of the control room, "Luther" disappeared after turning a corner. Lin Sanjiu asked Silas a few times, but the system did not answer her questions.
Apparently, "Luther" had used some kind of ability or item to interfere with her tracking and hide his tracks.
"Why are they running away?!"
Bohemia complained, panting. "This is a spaceship. Where else can they go? Are they going to jump off the ship?"
Lin Sanjiu frowned and stopped.
Indeed, they couldn't pretend to be Lin Sanjiu, nor could they abandon the spaceship and run away because there was no aircraft on Exodus. There was only one possibility.
"They are looking for the part of the spaceship that was swallowed by the flood," Lin Sanjiu said in a low voice.
"How do they know?" Bohemia grumbled. "They can't see it."
"Although we didn't say it, I looked out of the porthole for a long time. From that porthole, I could only see a part of the spaceship. If it wasn't for the flood, there wouldn't be anything to see. Besides, the spaceship had stopped for a while, and the personalities knew that we could see the flood … If they could think faster, they would have figured it out on the spot. "
As long as they walked into the flood, they might never see Lin Sanjiu again.
Bohemia opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she hesitated. When she finally opened her mouth, she changed the topic, "But … do they know where the part of the spaceship is?"
It was not an easy task to match the interior and exterior of Exodus because the spaceship happened to be ring-shaped. Sometimes, even Lin Sanjiu would get lost in the spaceship, let alone a newcomer like Lin Sanjiu.
"Maybe they are trying their luck," Lin Sanjiu sighed. "Or maybe they are rushing there without stopping. It all depends on how much the hairy brothers know about the spaceship."
As she spoke, she raised her arms, letting the loose sleeves of her T-shirt sway a few times.
Bohemia widened her eyes in shock.
After Luther's shapeshifting ability disappeared, the black vest that he was wearing returned to its original state, becoming the dirty T-shirt that one of the Hairy Brothers often wore. Aside from being able to "create something out of nothing", the shapeshifting ability also knew how to "use resources".
The last "Lin Sanjiu", who was left alone outside, was indeed one of the hairy brothers. With that, another piece of the puzzle was added into the picture.
"I don't know what's going on with the hairy brothers!" Bohemia raised her guard and said fiercely. If someone who didn't know what was going on saw this, they would think that she was trying to get even with Lin Sanjiu, "You're the one who was careless. Don't blame me."
"No one is blaming you," Lin Sanjiu felt a headache trying to talk to her, so she simply called for two hovercraft. "What you said earlier makes sense. The hairy brothers have been in Twelve Worlds Centrum for so many years. It's impossible for them to be personalities. Their ability is special, so it's highly possible that Luyan has been watching them. When she found out that they had come to Exodus, she simply turned them into personalities. "
When Lin Sanjiu thought about it this way, the brothers were indeed pitiful. They suddenly encountered such an unexpected disaster.
Perhaps it was because the hairy brothers were also victims of Luyan's [Waiting for Vacant Positions] that they didn't tell her everything about the flood. Even though Lin Sanjiu didn't know how the [Planting Oath] worked, she guessed that this ability should have its limits. It was impossible for Luyan to impose all her intentions on others at the same time, so it was normal for there to be some omissions.
Of course, this also meant that the person who led Luyan to Exodus and indirectly caused the hairy brothers to lose their humanity was actually Bohemia. Of course, Lin Sanjiu didn't mention a word about this to Luyan.
Bohemia didn't even think about this. Her mood instantly lightened up, "Of course I have a point! What are you going to do now? "
No matter how good the anti-tracking ability of the personalities was, since they knew their destination, all they needed to do was to wait for them at the stern of the ship. The place that was submerged by the flood was a rather large power room. Even from a distance, they could see the beautiful and fluctuating lights on the white wall. It was as if they had sunk into a sea of colors.
To be on the safe side, they didn't dare to get too close. After all, no one could tell if the flood was moving at a constant speed like Exodus. If it suddenly moved forward, at least the two of them would have room to react.
"Actually, I think that pervert is right," Lin Sanjiu said. The two of them hid behind a corner of the wall and waited quietly for a while. Suddenly, Bohemia said in a low voice, "... You have already avenged yourself. What's the point of asking about how he died? It's just sad to hear it."
Lin Sanjiu didn't say anything.
She didn't know what was the point of asking about it. She just couldn't help but want to know. She had a feeling that by doing this, she could touch Luther before he died and stand together with his Soul. But of course, she knew very well that the departed had already left. Everything that the living clung to was just a futile attempt to comfort themselves.
"... You don't want to let the personalities go? Do you really want to kill them?" Bohemia hesitated for a moment and stuttered, "Including... including Bliss?"
The victims who were threatened by Luyan, Bliss who secretly helped her, and the personalities who had yet to awaken and knew nothing about it … Lin Sanjiu couldn't just send them to their deaths together with 12 and the others without blinking an eye.
Bohemia quietly observed Lin Sanjiu's expression and said in a low voice, "Then … why don't we just let them go? We still have a lot of things to do. We can't just keep talking to them. "
Lin Sanjiu shot a glance at her.
After a while, she suddenly let out a soft sigh and a faint smile appeared on her face.
"You have changed a lot." Lin Sanjiu picked up a piece of sawdust from Bohemia's messy long curly hair and lamented, "... If you were the old you, you would have killed everyone who was related to you."
"What are you talking about? What's wrong with you?" Bohemia pulled a long face and pushed Lin Sanjiu's hand away. "You are the one who has become a coward!"
[This person doesn't know how to appreciate compliments.]
"Alright, alright," Lin Sanjiu raised both of her hands and said as if she was surrendering, "You are right. There is no point in wasting time with them. But … Septimus still has something that belongs to me. I need to get it back first. "
"What is it?"
"[Ability Polishing Agent]."
Those words didn't come out of Lin Sanjiu's mouth. There was a hint of coldness in her voice as if the speaker's body temperature was naturally a few degrees lower than others. Startled, both of them turned to the source of the voice and saw Septimus standing not far away from the flood. His sharp eyes shone brightly.
"Don't be surprised. We don't know where the flood is. We don't even know if there is a place that has been flooded. That's why we split up to look for it."
Septimus's face was like a sheet of ice. It was cold, clear, and emotionless. "... Since you are here, it means that the flood is not far from here, right?"
He stretched out a few of his sharp fingers and waved them aimlessly in the air. The light seemed to have been disturbed. As he waved his fingers, a few colorful ripples appeared and gradually disappeared. Septimus was just a personality. He didn't have a physical body, so he wasn't teleported away even though he touched the flood.
"I … I can feel something."
Septimus stared at his fingertips and said in a daze, "That's right. When he looked up again, he saw Lin Sanjiu standing not far away from him.
"Give it to me," Lin Sanjiu stretched out her hand. "Then … you can leave."
Septimus tilted his head as if he was surprised by her decision. "Are you serious?"
"Of course." Lin Sanjiu paused for a moment and sighed. Luther was no longer here, so it was pointless for her to hold on to the things he left behind. "Whatever happens to you in the future has nothing to do with me. But … please take good care of Luther's body since he was the one who split you from him. "
"That is also our home," Septimus said calmly. "Of course, we will take good care of it. But … I can't give you the thing that you want. "
"Why?"
"I don't have it with me," Septimus said calmly. "I don't have a physical body. When I return to Luther's body, everything that I have with me will fall. So, our personalities' belongings are stored in Luther's body. For some reason, after I got the [Ability Polishing Agent], I gave it to someone else. "
"Who did you give it to?"
Septimus suddenly turned to look at the corridor in the distance. "Do you remember what I said to you that night?"
"I remember," Lin Sanjiu snorted. "It was all bullsh * t. None of the words I said were true."
"I have the [Planter's Oath] on me. If I don't tell you some specious things, I won't be able to convey a single word. Even now … Even though Luyan is dead, the [Planter's Oath] is still in effect. I can't tell you the answer directly. "
When Septimus said this, he looked at the end of the corridor again as if he was waiting for someone. He turned his head and said slowly, "What I said that night wasn't a complete lie. Marcie did succumb to fear. Also, there is a question that you have forgotten. "
"What is it?"
"Why did Luyan want to kill you?"
When Septimus smiled, a series of extremely light but incredibly fast footsteps came from the end of the corridor. "If she didn't come after you, you would never have found out that Luther was dead, right? If you didn't know that Luther was dead, you wouldn't have sought revenge on her. Even though she was impulsive, she wasn't stupid. She did it because she had a reason that forced her to kill you. "
Following the second half of his sentence, the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer rang out. When Lin Sanjiu turned around, she saw "Luther" sprinting out of the corridor at a high speed. The person who had occupied his body was probably that strange man with eyes as bright as a wolf's. His speed was astonishing, and his target was very clear. It was the power room that was submerged by the flood.
"Tell me, what's the reason?"
Just as she shouted, "Luther" had already closed the distance between them. Lin Sanjiu twisted her body and threw a punch at his face. However, to her surprise, the man did not evade her punch. Instead, he welcomed her punch head-on. The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.
If Lin Sanjiu wanted to kill Luther's body, she could do it, but if she wanted to smash his face, which still had the contours of a teenager, she couldn't do it.
Just when her fist was about to land on Luther's face, she quickly retracted her hand. The man did not waste any time. He crouched and pounced behind Septimus.
"We will meet again."
Septimus's words were like clouds that were blown away by the wind. Together with "Luther", they disappeared in the fluctuating colors of the flood.
