Capturing the pig's eyes did not mean that Lin Sanjiu could be at ease.
Lin Sanjiu did not have an attachment condition, and Bohemia's attachment condition had already become a wasteland. Lin Sanjiu thought about it carefully. Other than using up their precious Higher Consciousness to suppress the pig's eyes, they had no other way to restrain him. After all, the pig's eyes were very experienced and cunning. Who knew when he would find a chance to slip away? If that happened, who could they ask about the branch in Concrete World?
Bohemia seemed to have the same thought as Lin Sanjiu. He moved back and forth between Lin Sanjiu and the pig's eyes a few times. He wanted to hide, but at the same time, he also wanted to guard the pig's eyes. For a moment, he couldn't decide who to stick to.
"Well then, let's end this quickly!"
Lin Sanjiu gritted her teeth and made up her mind. After all, most of her Higher Consciousness came from the pig's eyes. It would be a waste not to use it.
Just now, when the situation took a turn for the better, she still had a little bit of interest, like a cat catching a mouse. Now that there was not much time left, her interest naturally disappeared. Lowering her voice, she asked straightforwardly, "Tell me, when did the branch of the Concrete World disappear?"
The rat-gray star flickered slightly. Lin Sanjiu didn't know if he was looking for a chance to escape. When he noticed that Lin Sanjiu's Higher Consciousness had surrounded the space around him, he retracted his light and reverted to his human form.
After returning to its normal proportions, the big face plate with two small eyes finally looked more pleasing to the eye than when it was indomitable. The man was not good-looking. His neck was stretched forward, and his lower lip was turned outward. From the side, he looked more like an old turtle than a pig. Due to lack of exercise, the skin on his arms and stomach hung loosely. It was hard to believe that such a thing could happen to a posthuman.
"You are quite natural when you use my Higher Consciousness."
The pig's eyes studied the two stars that surrounded him for a while. His gaze lingered on Bohemia's golden brown light for a few seconds. When he returned to the Astral Plane from his brain, he felt as if he had returned to his home turf. His confidence and attitude were restored. "I can't blame you. After all, the weak are prey to the strong. This is also the logic that I believe in. "
"Branch library," Lin Sanjiu reminded him coldly.
"Oh." He slowly spat out this word, and it took him more than a second to do so. "Why do you want to know about it? Although its function is interesting, I don't think it's a necessity. If you want to communicate with other worlds, there are many ways. I'll teach you a few ways. If you return what you took, we'll call it quits. "
It was obvious that the pig-eyed man was trying to stall for time.
"What did you take away?" Bohemia suddenly interrupted. She was much more sensitive than Lin Sanjiu when it came to taking things by force. "You used the word 'thing', not 'Higher Consciousness'. Could it be … that she didn't just take your Willpower, but something else? "
Even an idiot would have a rough idea of what was going on after seeing the Higher Consciousness of both of them. Nevertheless, Bohemia was able to grasp the clues from an unintentional choice of words. She had to admit that her days of being a thief were not in vain.
The pig-eyed man immediately fell silent. After two seconds, he said dryly, "… I don't really care about losing a few potential value points."
"I didn't know that your mother was so generous!" Bohemia said in a sweet voice, "How much potential value is that to you?"
Lin Sanjiu felt like laughing. With this, she could finally make up for the portion of Potential Growth Value that Bohemia lost! She just had to think of a way to transfer them to Bohemia like electricity.
The pig-eyed man gritted his teeth for a long time before he finally gave in, "I don't know much about the branch. If I tell you, are you willing to return the things to me? "
The question was so naive that it was almost cute. However, the person who asked the question was not a naive person.
Lin Sanjiu glanced at Bohemia subconsciously. The latter was still in the form of a star. Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell if the latter was feeling the same way as her. His face was filled with doubt. After thinking for a while, Lin Sanjiu ordered, "You go first."
Unexpectedly, the pig-eyed man was willing to go straight to the point.
According to him, the branch of the Concrete World suddenly disappeared not long after Bohemia left. "I only heard about it a few days later. At first, everyone didn't believe it, so they all came to find nothing. Even now, there are still posthumans who don't know what happened to the branch every day. " The pig-eyed man sorted out his thoughts and continued, "As for the specific reason, I have heard a few rumors. The most common theory is that before the branch disappeared, the control of the branch fell into the hands of someone. That person wanted to monopolize it, so he used some unknown method to move it away. "
This statement coincided with the clue that Bohemia had received.
"Who controlled it? Where did it go? "
The pig-eyed man glanced at Lin Sanjiu and asked tentatively, "Are you trying to contact someone from another world? I'm not lying to you. There are other ways. Isn't there a lot of 'Good Traveler Services' in the galaxy? I know a few of them. Maybe they can help … "
Lin Sanjiu wanted to interrupt him, but when she heard the words' Good Traveler Services', she couldn't help asking, "What is that?"
Well, it would be harder for the pig-eyed man to find out her real purpose.
"Not everyone in this world is lucky enough to have such a good attachment condition like me," the pig-eyed man said in a matter-of-fact tone. The pig-eyes said in a matter-of-fact tone that did not need to be modest. "Just like the evolution ability, no one can predict in advance what the attachment conditions are. What if the attachment condition doesn't have any combat power? Then, we can only adapt to the local conditions and maximize our advantages. For example, some people's attachment condition can provide a fake image that no one can see through. Some people's attachment conditions are divination and prediction … There are all kinds of attachment conditions. Naturally, there are also many people who can contact other worlds. The fees are reasonable, and both parties can negotiate. "
Just when Lin Sanjiu was about to ask Bohemia for confirmation, the latter took the initiative to approach her and whispered, "There is such a thing, but I have never used it."
"Why?"
"He said it's' Good Traveler Services'," Lin Sanjiu replied unhappily. "In the past, I was too famous, so the posthumans who provided these services didn't dare to approach me."
It wasn't that he was too famous, but his reputation was too bad. He couldn't even become a 'Good Traveler' in the eyes of others.
Lin Sanjiu collected her thoughts and continued to ask, "Tell me, who is controlling the branch library in Concrete World?"
"How would I know?!" The pig-eyed man yelled, "If every big shot had to report to me before doing anything, wouldn't I be the king of the galaxy?"
"That's true." Just when Lin Sanjiu didn't know how to continue questioning him, Bohemia suddenly said, "But I'm sure you know more than what you're saying."
The pig-eyed man's eyes widened, but they didn't widen much. They were still two black dots.
"The color of your star is inconspicuous, and the attachment conditions are perfect for a sneak attack," Bohemia did not know when she had summed it up so neatly. "I don't believe that it was a coincidence that you were hiding next to the library branch. The people who went to the old address were all posthumans who didn't know that the branch library had disappeared. This means that these people don't enter the Astral Plane often. Correspondingly, their Higher Consciousness isn't very strong. I'm afraid that's why you purposely hid there, waiting for me to catch you, right? "
Then, she snorted, "This is a trick that I've played before. Do you think I can't tell? Since you've been squatting there every day, unless you're deaf and blind, there's no way that you could know more than this. "
If it weren't for the fact that she had to keep the pig-eyed man trapped with her Higher Consciousness, Lin Sanjiu would have slapped the woman's shoulder.
"Fine, fine, if you insist on digging out some rumors from me that are hard to distinguish between true and false, I can't stop you." The pig-eyed man was very talkative. He couldn't get to the point even after a long time. Lin Sanjiu was getting impatient. Then, he continued, "That person seems to be a very mysterious person. Many people have seen him, but no one knows whether he's a man or a woman. Sometimes, he's a burly man, and sometimes, he's an old lady. If it weren't for the continuity of his speech and actions, I wouldn't even be able to recognize him. Who has ever heard of him before? I don't know which world he came from, but he managed to control so many people in such a short period of time … I think it's because his Evolved Ability is very powerful. Once you're under his control, you can't get rid of it until you transfer to another world. Of course, that's if you're not dead yet … "
The word "old lady" triggered Lin Sanjiu's nerves.
Magus's physical body had been in a coma until now, and her Higher Consciousness had been trapped in the Astral Plane. It was already very abnormal. The identity of the owner of the "Concept Mishmash" ability she encountered in Meat Elysium was still a mystery until now.
Both of them were very similar … Their target had always been Magus.
"Watch out!" Bohemia suddenly yelled, startling Lin Sanjiu. However, it was already too late when she heard Bohemia's shout. A star came from afar, leaving a long trail of light in its wake. In a split second, the space around them was covered in snowy white, making it hard for them to see anything. The snowflake-like star only stayed in Lin Sanjiu's field of vision for a thousandth of a second before her Higher Consciousness, which had been trying to "catch" the pig's eye, dissipated. Her Higher Consciousness scattered in all directions like snowflakes.
"Why did you come so late?" Once the pig's eye regained its freedom, it immediately dashed into the sky, leaving Bohemia's words behind.
The snow-white star paused for a moment before it also dashed in the same direction, leaving behind another dazzling trail of light.
"Mr. Mo, if you're a regular customer, you have to pay an additional 50% service fee!"
Bohemia had completely forgotten that she couldn't even compare to a small fry. She shook her head and wagged her tail as she followed the snow-white star. Then, she yelled behind her, "I don't know when that guy called for a good traveler service! Damn it, I didn't know that there was such a scumbag service provider in the world. He would come and lick my heel the moment I called for him! "
While the snow-white star was trying to keep up with the pig's eye and shake off Bohemia at the same time, he did not forget to retort from a distance, "Don't you know that business is business? Caveman! "
Lin Sanjiu watched as the three stars sped away at high speed, but she was still standing at the same spot. The pig's eye had always been under the control of her Higher Consciousness. The only time she could call for a "good traveler service" was during the few seconds when he came out of her mind. No wonder he talked so much. He was trying to buy time and wait for help.
The snow-white star who provided a good traveler service could shatter her Higher Consciousness so effortlessly. Perhaps his attachment condition was designed to do that … When the thought crossed her mind, Lin Sanjiu had already gathered her scattered Higher Consciousness.
After the pig's eye swallowed and spat out, Lin Sanjiu's Potential Growth Value seemed to have been stimulated. Her rate of growth had increased a lot. On top of that, she had absorbed more than half of the pig's eye's Potential Growth Value and Higher Consciousness. Right now, the energy in her body was surging. Even she had no idea how strong her Higher Consciousness was.
Lin Sanjiu returned to her human form and closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, she was already streaking across the dark sky like a meteor, leaving behind countless stars that were flying at high speed. She was so fast that even she was a little startled. It was as if she could create a long spark in the dark sky at any time.
