"I have never heard that a Special Item can turn into a duoluozhong."
Bohemia said as she tried to kick the silver circle on the ground with her foot. The circle clanked, startling Bohemia. She quickly looked around to make sure that Puppeteer had not returned.
Lin Sanjiu stared at the circle and frowned. She remained silent for a while. The duoluozhongs walking around them seemed to ignore their presence. One of the duoluozhongs even walked up to them, picked up a wrench, and walked away.
"I didn't either," Lin Sanjiu said in a low voice. "Logically speaking, an inanimate object can't turn into a duoluozhong … I'm wondering if there's something wrong with my [Planar World]."
Bohemia was stunned.
"When we were examining the corpse, I didn't turn the corpse into a card because it wouldn't be of much help. However, at that time, I clearly felt that I could turn it into a card," Lin Sanjiu asked, "Do you understand what I mean? I can't tell if it's a hunch or experience, but when you have an ability that you are very familiar with, you will always have this feeling … "
"I know, I know," Bohemia waved her hand. "I saw a poem, and I know if I can use it or not … Get to the point."
"Anyway, I didn't turn it into a card at that time. I just instinctively felt that I could do it. When I tried it on the duoluozhong, it didn't work, so I didn't raise my guard. "She took a deep breath." What if it's just a coincidence? If there's something wrong with my ability, there's nothing I can do — "
Before Lin Sanjiu could finish her sentence, a shadow suddenly flew toward her and landed in her arms. Lin Sanjiu looked down and realized that it was a bracelet.
"Why don't you just give it a try?" Bohemia snorted.
Bohemia's wrist was very thin, so the bracelet was small enough to fit between Lin Sanjiu's crooked fingers.
Lin Sanjiu raised her hand and looked at the colorful bracelet. She applied some force to her fingers, but there was no reaction.
She tried again, but there was still no reaction.
Bohemia walked up to Lin Sanjiu. She looked at her bracelet and then at Lin Sanjiu. She was a little confused, "Why? Is it really not possible?"
"I really can't," Lin Sanjiu could feel the blood draining from her face, "Maybe … something happened when I destroyed the [Insatiable Hand] …"
"That's strange. My prop is good, but so is your whip …" Bohemia said as she raised her wrist and rolled down the bunch of bracelets and chains on her arm. Then, she reached her hand into the bracelet and was about to put it back on.
At that moment, Lin Sanjiu did not see clearly what happened. No, she did not even look up because she was staring at her palm. When she suddenly looked up, the bracelet fell to the ground with a clang, but no one picked it up.
Bohemia disappeared.
"What the hell is going on?" Lin Sanjiu cursed. She couldn't help taking two steps back. She stared at the road, not knowing what to do. "How did she disappear?"
Of course, no one could answer her. Mrs. Manas did not know more than she did. There was not even a ripple in the air. It was as if Bohemia did not exist.
Lin Sanjiu looked at the bracelet on the ground and bent down. Even if a Special Item could turn into a duoluozhong, there was no reason for this bracelet to change. After all, Bohemia had just taken it out half a minute ago. Just when her fingers were about to touch the bracelet, a voice suddenly shouted, "Don't touch it!"
Lin Sanjiu jumped up and retreated to the side of the road. She looked around and found the source of the voice.
She looked across the road and a small park in the middle of the street and saw a row of brown townhouses. Each of them was about three stories high. They looked so ordinary that they looked like a few pieces of chocolate melted together. At that moment, a window on the third floor of one of the townhouses opened. A head and a waving arm poked out from the window, "Hey! Don't touch that thing! Do you hear me? "
Lin Sanjiu looked around first. The expressionless duoluozhong on the street did not seem to hear him. None of them even raised their heads to look at him.
"Who are you?" Lin Sanjiu asked cautiously.
The man was coincidentally here. No one could be sure that he had nothing to do with the disappearance of Puppeteer. It was hard for her to imagine that a random posthuman on the street could make Puppeteer disappear.
"It's none of your business," the man waved his arm again and retracted his head from the window. He seemed to have said something else, but Lin Sanjiu could not hear him clearly.
"Hey!" Lin Sanjiu yelled. She looked at the two Special Items on the ground and decided not to touch them. Instead, she rushed over.
"If this is a trick he used to cheat me of my Special Items, I will cook his bone marrow into porridge and feed it to Bohemia."
However, when she arrived at the entrance of the townhouse, she turned around and glanced around. There was still no one on the street, let alone someone who had picked up the two Special Items. Lin Sanjiu retracted her gaze and yelled again. The window opened again, and another head peeked out, "What's up?"
This time, a woman's voice rang out from the window, "Look, you've provoked her, haven't you? I told you … I shouldn't have reminded you … "
"Do you know what's going on?" Lin Sanjiu felt a glimmer of hope. "Please, tell me, where are my companions?"
Since the man's back was facing the light, Lin Sanjiu could not see his facial expression clearly. She could only tell that he had not shaved for a few days. He turned around and said something to the woman behind him. Then, he poked his head out again, "You … You don't know? You just arrived? "
"Yes."
Lin Sanjiu guessed that he had already seen them surrounded by duoluozhong, so she admitted, "Do you know what happened to them? Why didn't you let me pick up the bracelets just now? "
"Stop talking to her. What's the point?" The woman in the house grew impatient. Halfway through her sentence, she added, "Our business is more important …"
Seeing that the man was about to turn his head away again, Lin Sanjiu called out, "Wait! What do I have to do for you to tell me the information? "
The man was not a bad person. He had warned her from afar just in time. If she could get his companions to agree, it would not be difficult to get the information out of him.
The man turned his head away and muttered something to the woman in the house. When another face appeared outside the window, it was the woman. Her hair was combed into a ponytail, and she had a round face. Lin Sanjiu could not see the facial features on that round face.
"We are short of water, food, and medicine. We ran out of antibiotics yesterday." There was a hint of wariness in her voice. "Do you have any of them?"
Lin Sanjiu could get as much as she wanted.
"I can give you a few liters of water. As for the food, I have to count. I remember that I still have two extra rolls of bandages." Lin Sanjiu understood the principle of not flaunting one's wealth, so she spoke cautiously, "Will you tell me everything you know after you get the item?"
"Even if I don't tell you, we can't just leave the food for ourselves," the ponytail woman waved her hand impatiently, "Come up! The door is not locked. "
Lin Sanjiu covered her hands with her [Defense Forcefield] before she opened the door. The moment she opened the door, she saw a staircase. Beside the staircase was a corridor that led to a room that seemed to be a kitchen. Using her Higher Consciousness as a probing dog, Lin Sanjiu spread her Higher Consciousness along the walls and the floor, but she did not find any traps.
"They didn't lock the door because they don't know how dangerous it is," Mrs. Manas muttered, "What kind of danger can make people disappear in an instant?"
Since she did not have a visa, Lin Sanjiu had no idea what the name of this world was, let alone how dangerous it was. Seeing that everything was normal under her Higher Consciousness's probing, Lin Sanjiu felt slightly relieved. She went up the stairs. To conserve her Higher Consciousness, she moved her [Defense Forcefield] to her feet. However, it seemed to be a waste of Higher Consciousness as nothing happened even after she reached the third floor.
The third floor was slightly smaller. There were only two rooms, and one of them was half-open. The man poked his head out from behind the door and looked behind her, as if he was making sure that she was the only one who came up. When he saw that the staircase was empty, he nodded, "Come here!"
Before she got close, Lin Sanjiu's nose picked up the faint scent of blood. Between the two of them, at least one of them was injured, and the injury was probably not light. After all, it was rare for posthumans to get infected even if they did not use antibiotics.
"Are any of you injured?" Lin Sanjiu walked over slowly. She did not let down her guard completely, "Can't we talk outside?"
"This is a private house before the apocalypse. What do you think would happen?"
The man had already returned to his room. There was a hint of contempt in his voice, but he did not answer Lin Sanjiu's question. Lin Sanjiu wasn't surprised. They probably didn't want to show weakness in front of strangers.
Lin Sanjiu scanned the entire floor with her Higher Consciousness. The third floor was still quite clean. There were no hidden Special Items, and there was no one hiding behind the door. Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath and strode over. She pushed the door open and saw that it was just an ordinary bedroom. Just as she was about to step into the bedroom, her body tensed up and she instinctively stopped in her tracks. Because she stopped in such a hurry, she even stumbled at the door.
"What's wrong?" The woman's voice came from inside the room. Then, she walked out of the room with a puzzled look on her face.
Lin Sanjiu did not answer. Instead, she glanced at the carpet at the door.
