"Is there really such a way to save a person in this world?"
Mrs. Manas' angry roar was so faint that she couldn't hear it clearly anymore. In fact, even though the corridor was still dead silent, she couldn't hear anything except for her own screams when tens of thousands of "landmines" engulfed her like a tsunami.
"Magus, leave now!"
After the last shout, she couldn't even hear her own voice. At that moment, the darkness was so deep that it sucked her consciousness in as if it was sticky.
"Is there really such a way to save a person in this world?"
Amidst the haziness, she seemed to have heard the same words again. When she slowly regained her senses, she vaguely realized that the words used in the two sentences were not exactly the same. However, unlike Mrs. Manas, this time, her voice sounded gentle and calm. Not only did she not sound angry, she even sounded a little surprised and amused at the same time.
Lin Sanjiu opened her eyes.
When her vision cleared up again, she saw the pitch-black night sky that looked like pure black velvet. There was a building tilted to one side. After the building spat her out, one of the square blocks closed its door and disappeared from her sight. It shrank and fell back into the building.
Lin Sanjiu's feet were floating high in the air. From the corner of her eye, she saw another pair of feet floating in the air. When she regained her composure, she realized that someone was grabbing the back of her neck and pulling her backward rapidly in the Astral Plane.
When she turned her head, she saw that her grand prize was not far away from her. He was being grabbed by the collar in the same position. However, he was so scared that he refused to open his eyes. His face had shrunk into a ball.
"Magus?" Lin Sanjiu couldn't see behind her, so she asked tentatively.
The person who spoke just now was stunned for a moment. Then, she smiled, "Who else could it be other than me?"
That's right, it was the voice of Magus that she had not heard for a long time. Her voice was just like herself. Even after meeting her once, it still lingered in Lin Sanjiu's mind.
Suddenly, Lin Sanjiu felt the grip on her collar loosening. She quickly steadied herself and grabbed her grand prize, who was flailing about, before turning to look at Magus.
No matter when or where, you will never fail to recognize Magus.
Even though she had been detained and chased for such a long time, even though she was in a state of panic where her memories were melting away like snow, even though she had just escaped from a dangerous situation, she was still the same Magus: slender, elegant, with a spine as hard as steel, and a smile as soft as mist.
"So you did hear me."
Lin Sanjiu could hardly believe her eyes. She had been looking for Magus for such a long time. Now that she was caught off guard, she saw Magus right after she passed through the Gate of Life and Death. It was as surreal as a dream. "You heard me!"
"Of course I can hear you." Magus smiled. The wrinkles at the corner of her eyes fluttered like the hem of a silk dress. "That person trapped me but couldn't find me. So, he made some changes to the library. Even the sound of his footsteps can be heard in every corner of the library. What's more, you were shouting so loudly that my ears were about to explode. "
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help shooting a glance at her grand prize. The latter only flashed a row of white teeth at her. Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell whether he had already guessed it or not.
"That's great," Lin Sanjiu blurted out a few times in excitement. When she finally found the words to say, she couldn't speak fluently, "I heard from Bohemia … I've been looking for you for a long time! Logically speaking, that person can't maintain his power for such a long time. Maybe Qing Jiuliu is still reliable — "
"Slow down." The corner of Magus's mouth was still curled up, but her blue eyes gradually turned cold. She reminded Lin Sanjiu of a clouded leopard that was observing an intruder. "Who is Qing Jiuliu?"
Lin Sanjiu was right. "Ever since you were ambushed, he has been taking care of your body."
"What kind of ambush was it?"
Lin Sanjiu seemed to have failed to convey a single word to Magus. Lin Sanjiu had no choice but to tell Magus everything from how they met to Meat Elysium, the "Clash of Concepts", and the mysterious person whose true identity she still couldn't figure out. Lin Sanjiu couldn't help feeling a little anxious when she told Magus everything.
If Magus wanted Lin Sanjiu to prove her innocence, Lin Sanjiu had no evidence at all, even if her grand prize was by her side. However, after Lin Sanjiu's voice trailed off, Magus only stared at her for a while before she said calmly, "I understand."
Lin Sanjiu was a little dumbfounded.
"You don't suspect me …"
"Darling," Magus shook her head gently. A few strands of her short blonde hair slid down her cheeks like the sunlight shining through the window. Her smile was warm and enchanting. "When you have lived for a long time like me, you only need to take a few glances and listen to a few words to have a general understanding of a person."
Lin Sanjiu heaved a long sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders. She knew that she was now a stranger to Magus, but she felt as if she had returned to the time when they were in Meat Elysium. "Do you know why you can't return to your body?" Lin Sanjiu asked.
Lin Sanjiu didn't have much hope at first, but to her surprise, Magus, who was slowly losing her memory, answered without hesitation, "My passage is blocked by some kind of force."
"Blocked?"
"That's right. Every time it's about to appear, it'll be covered up by a barrier again. No matter how many times I tried, I couldn't enter the pathway of my higher consciousness. "
"Can you find out where the force comes from?" Lin Sanjiu frowned.
"No. It doesn't seem like a person's power, such as higher consciousness," Magus said unexpectedly. To his surprise, Magus said, "I've always felt that it was more like some kind of natural force … When you told me about the concept collision just now, I vaguely understood what you meant. The force that blocked my passage should be the rule he established using this ability. "
"How powerful is the evolved ability to establish a rule that is extremely difficult to break?"
"According to what you said just now, all of you were affected by his Clash of Concepts. But now, only my ability is still working." When Magus said this, the corner of her mouth slowly curled up. There was a hint of sarcasm in her voice, "Since I didn't recognize him in Meat Elysium, it means that we don't know each other … It seems that I have something that he must get his hands on."
Lin Sanjiu and her grand prize were both involved in this, so they couldn't help talking about this topic for a while. They were now far away from the branch library in Concrete World. They couldn't see the building anymore, and they could see the starlight streaking across the sky from time to time. This was the perfect place for a conversation. There was no space around them, so they could see anyone coming. Besides, there was no shortage of people in the distance, so they could blend into the crowd quickly if there were pursuers.
"If we want to find out who the owner of the branch library is, defeat him, and crack his ability … I don't have much confidence in that. Besides, your condition can't be delayed any longer. The sooner you return to your body, the better. " Lin Sanjiu told Magus about the fact that she didn't have any condition attached to her. Then, she added, "I have an idea that might be worth a try. My grand prize now has an analyzing ability … "
Even if it took him a long time to analyze her, it was still more reliable than looking for the owner of the branch library. Lin Sanjiu briefly introduced the grand prize's ability to Magus, but before she could finish her last sentence, Magus had already rejected her, "No."
"Why?"
Magus looked at the grand prize. The two of them were strangers to her at this moment. However, she believed Lin Sanjiu after she glanced at Lin Sanjiu a few times. When she faced the grand prize, she looked at him again and again. Finally, she said, "This has nothing to do with trust. I'm not a book. I don't need others to read my content. "
Her tone was calm. Lin Sanjiu knew that she couldn't change her mind. However, Lin Sanjiu didn't give up. "Even if it's a special situation …?"
"A principle that can't handle a special situation is not a principle."
"Then … then, do you have any ideas?" Ji Shanqing couldn't help interrupting. If there was a time when he looked like an ordinary child who had grown up, it would be when he stayed in the hotel with Qing Jiuliu and Magus at Meat Elysium. The two of them were probably the closest thing to "friends" that he had ever had in his life.
Magus frowned and didn't say anything for a long time. Lin Sanjiu could see that there was a thought boiling in her mind. She couldn't decide the consequences of this thought. After a while, she slowly raised her eyes and asked an irrelevant question, "You haven't reached the highest level yet. How did you get into the galaxy? Did someone help you? "
"Yes, it was Bohemia."
"How did she help you?" Magus seemed to be very interested in this question.
"It was a Special Item. It was something like a belt. It was tied around my neck."
Magus nodded slightly. It seemed that the idea in her mind was gradually forming and stabilizing. "From your conversation just now, I felt that you always have a lot of friends around you. I think it's because of your personality and mentality." She seemed to be very observant. "And a person's personality doesn't change easily … Tell me, do you have any friends around you now? I mean, outside of the galaxy. "
"Yes," Lin Sanjiu answered honestly. "I have Bohemia and a cat. The cat is our doctor. He's pretty good. When we don't have a scalpel, he uses a sterilized nail tip. "
Even Magus couldn't help looking at Lin Sanjiu for a second time when she heard Lin Sanjiu's words. Then, a faint layer of disappointment appeared on her face. "That's it? A person with higher consciousness can't do it. Neither can a cat. "
Lin Sanjiu hesitated for a long time. Her grand prize's gaze was like a sandbag soaked in water, pressing heavily on her shoulder.
