[This is an anti-theft measure. I will try to change it earlier today.]
The place where Luther fell couldn't be any worse. He fell right in front of the main entrance. When Lin Sanjiu and Marcie arrived, the main entrance was already surrounded by three layers of people. The exit was completely blocked. Some of the people wanted to go out, some wanted to watch the commotion, some were shouting for help, some were cursing, and some were clamoring to make way … It was a complete mess.
Right now, Lin Sanjiu couldn't care less. She grabbed the collar of anyone who dared to stand in her way and threw them aside. Not long after, amidst the complaints, she led Marcie into the middle of the crowd.
Luther was lying on the ground with a pale face. His eyes were tightly shut and his body was trembling slightly. His clothes were dusty, and there were a few footprints on his legs. He must have been stepped on by the people behind him when he suddenly fell. Chen Jinfeng had appeared out of nowhere and was squatting beside him. He shouted at the crowd behind him, "Make way! Someone in front has fainted. Don't come any further!"
He was a cadre, so his words carried weight. Some of the people in the crowd recognized him, so they helped to disperse the crowd.
Marcie smiled at him gratefully, "When did Cadre Chen come? Thank you so much. "
Lin Sanjiu nodded at him and put Luther's arm on her shoulder. Seeing that they had helped Luther up, Chen Jinfeng patted the dust off his legs and stood up. He said to the two of them, "It's good that you are here. There is a medical room in Block 38. You can bring him there. Don't worry about dinner, I will get someone to send it over. "
"Thank you, but it's nothing. It's just an old problem!" Lin Sanjiu didn't bother to explain. She quickly added, "We will bring him back to his room to rest."
Chen Jinfeng nodded his head reservedly and left without saying anything else.
"I didn't expect Cadre Chen to be such a nice person even though he speaks with an accent," Marcie sighed as she supported Luther's other side and walked back with difficulty.
Lin Sanjiu nodded.
It was indeed not an easy task to push through the hungry crowd and go against the current. Lin Sanjiu got impatient after being pushed back by the crowd for a few times. She decided to get rough with the crowd. She had no idea how many people she had shoved aside along the way, but it was not easy for her to reach Luther's place.
After laying him flat on the bed, the two women finally had the time to breathe a sigh of relief. While waiting for Luther to regain consciousness, the two of them sat on the ground and chatted.
"My Evolved Ability leveled up this morning," Lin Sanjiu said with a smile, "It seems that the pocket dimension has greatly stimulated our abilities."
Marcie nodded silently and suddenly sighed. "I wonder if mine will level up …"
Marcie's ability had always been the weakest among the three of them. Her fingernails could only be used to draw blood for analysis. They were like glass and would shatter upon touch. Therefore, if she encountered any danger, she could only use some weapons that were handy to her. To be honest, even though her body was stronger than the average person, she was not a martial arts expert.
Over the past month or so, Lin Sanjiu had roughly figured out a pattern. Evolved Abilities were like knives. They would not become sharp unless they were sharpened. For example, there were a few natural posthumans in the oasis. Since they lived a comfortable life without any training, they did not even have the chance to develop their physical abilities.
"It seems like you have to find more opportunities to train," Lin Sanjiu said thoughtfully. Lin Sanjiu said thoughtfully, "I know two posthumans. Maybe they are willing to let you draw their blood for analysis."
Following that, she told Marcie everything that had happened that morning. She started from the walkie-talkie being taken away by someone, to Yu's strange and strict attitude, to the fact that the oasis people used pills to enhance their abilities. She told Marcie everything.
"I don't know if I'm overthinking, but I feel that I should be more vigilant here," Lin Sanjiu concluded.
"Nonsense," a cold voice suddenly rang out in the room.
Lin Sanjiu's body reacted faster than her consciousness. When she heard that word, she felt that something was wrong, and all her hair stood on end. Marcie and Lin Sanjiu's expressions froze. Slowly, they turned their heads.
Luther had already woken up. One of his arms was propped up on the bed. He raised one of his eyebrows and looked at them with an indifferent expression.
Lin Sanjiu had never seen such an expression on Luther's face before. His facial features, hair, and everything else did not change. He merely changed his expression, but the aura he exuded was completely different. The youthful and exuberant aura he had in the past was gone. Instead, it was replaced by a cold and unfeeling aura. If Luther was a talkative teenager in the past, he was now a creature in human skin. He looked like a human, but he did not have a human's aura.
His tone was different from before, and even his voice sounded different, "Why are you guys looking at me?"
As he spoke, he looked at his palms and nails with interest.
The atmosphere in the room was very strange. After Luther asked that question, no one responded for a long time.
In the silence, the sound of Marcie swallowing her saliva was extremely loud. Then, she screamed as if she had a headache. She grabbed her hair and said to Luther with a pained expression, "So, you are the next one!"
"Wh-what? What is going on?" Lin Sanjiu, who had no idea what was going on.
Luther didn't seem to notice the confusion on her face. He sat up on the bed and rested his chin on his hand. A faint and sarcastic smile gradually spread across his face like the winter fog.
"The crop cycle has been shortened to 30 days? High temperature resistance? The ability to catalyze evolution with drugs? Do you guys really believe it like the pigs in the oasis? " His tone became soft and gentle, but his words were cold and filled with malice, "Have you guys been scared silly by the duoluozhong? Don't you know what this means?"
Lin Sanjiu stared blankly at the only person she knew. She didn't need to use her sharp intuition to ask, "Who are you?"
This time, before "Luther" could speak, Marcie, who was beside him, spoke in a voice that sounded like a moan, "Lil Jiu, let me introduce you … This is Luther's seventh personality, Septimus."
Lin Sanjiu suddenly felt as if her scalp was going to explode. She stared blankly at "Luther".
