To be honest, in most situations, Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell if it was her [Sharp Intuition] or her overly tense and paranoid nerves that were giving her warnings. Take the carpet under her feet as an example. She had used her higher consciousness to scan it a few times, but other than feeling that she was being paranoid, she didn't find anything else.
Lin Sanjiu stared at the carpet in front of the door without moving. Naturally, the person in the room would notice that something was wrong. Footsteps came from behind the door again. When the door was pulled open, the man appeared again. He looked puzzled, "Why are you still standing there?"
Before Lin Sanjiu could answer, he looked down at the carpet. Then, realization dawned on him, "Oh, right. You are quite sensitive. I didn't expect that you wouldn't be able to tell from your appearance … "
As he spoke, he stepped on the carpet and kicked it aside. When the carpet refused to budge, he bent down and picked it up, rolling it under the edge of the wall.
"Come in," he raised his hand and gestured for Lin Sanjiu to enter. "I know what you are thinking. The problem isn't with the round thing."
"Then, what is the problem?"
Lin Sanjiu asked subconsciously. However, before the two people in the room received their payment, they only smiled at her. Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell who was injured, but she could tell that the woman had been lying on the bed with the blanket pulled up to her chest. She looked at least five or six years older than the bearded man. The freckles on her round face made her look like a sesame cake.
Since neither of them had any intention of introducing themselves, Lin Sanjiu sat on a chair in silence.
"Well, the deal is simple."
The bearded man rubbed his hands. Seeing that there was no space for him, he sat on the floor. From the looks of it, he and Sesame Cake didn't seem like a couple. "Give us the antibiotics and food, and we will tell you about this world."
"And water," the woman on the bed reminded. Her voice wasn't weak at all. However, both she and the bearded man's lips had a dull hue of dehydration. Their lips were dry and cracked. It seemed like they hadn't had a good drink for a while.
"Oh, right," the bearded man looked at Lin Sanjiu, "How many do you have?"
"That's enough." She said with a smile, secretly glad that the [Planar World] did not have any problems as she thought. Fortunately, the two special items were the ones that were weird.
After Lin Sanjiu calculated the quantity and took out the items one by one, the man and the woman looked at the items on the floor. They seemed to be very satisfied. Of course, they couldn't help feeling a little surprised. Sesame Cake even got off the bed and picked up two boxes of antibiotics to examine them. She seemed to have some difficulty moving around. It seemed that she had injured her lower limbs.
"Where did you get this thing?" She gasped in admiration. "It looks very new …"
How could they not be new? Ever since the grand prize wrote them, they had been staying in the [Planar World]. They hadn't even seen the wind.
Both of them browsed through the items one by one. When they put down the last pack of hardtack, Lin Sanjiu was so impatient that she was about to burst into flames. "Can you tell me the news now?"
The bearded man nodded. Just as he was about to speak, Sesame Cake pressed down on his arm. This woman was more cautious than her companion. She glanced at the items on the floor and smiled, "It's not that I don't trust you, but we were strangers just a moment ago. If it were you, you wouldn't casually eat and drink from a stranger's food either, right … "
Lin Sanjiu was getting impatient, "What do you want then? Aren't these the things you want? "
"How about this," Sesame Cake bent down with some difficulty and picked up a pack of hardtack, "Have a bite of this."
Lin Sanjiu did as she was told. The biscuit was forced down his throat. It was hard and heavy, stubbornly refusing to enter his esophagus. Right at that moment, the woman pointed at the mineral water bottle beside her feet and said, "If you don't mind, you can have a sip of this water as well."
Lin Sanjiu needed a sip of water right now, so she quickly picked up the mineral water bottle. The grand prize had written this water bottle based on the bottled water in her homeworld. He had chosen "Evian", a brand that had left a deep impression on her. She unscrewed the cap and just as she was about to put her lips on it, Mrs. Manas suddenly moved.
It was a strange feeling because Mrs. Manas didn't have a physical body.
She was just an image formed by Lin Sanjiu's higher consciousness, just like the operating interface of a computer system. Since Lin Sanjiu could feel Mrs. Manas moving, it could only mean one thing: there was a slight fluctuation in Lin Sanjiu's higher consciousness.
Lin Sanjiu still held the mineral water bottle in her hand. She looked past the bottle and glanced at the two people in the room.
A round face and a bearded face were like sunflowers following the sun. Both of them turned to face her at the same time. Their eyes were fixed on the opening of her bottle, waiting for her to swallow the first mouthful of water.
"When I was eating the hardtack, did they stare at me so intently?"
Mrs. Manas immediately sensed Lin Sanjiu's thoughts. She thoughtfully showed her the scene that she had subconsciously recorded in her mind when she was eating the hardtack. The bearded man, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor, was now squatting on the floor. He was casually looking at the unwrapped hardtack on the floor. Sesame Cake was sitting at the corner of the bed, his eyes roaming across the floor. He kept glancing at Lin Sanjiu's feet.
There were only a few bottles of mineral water at her feet.
"What's wrong?" the freckled woman asked. "You didn't drink it."
Comparing the scene in her mind with the scene in front of her, even a fool would realize that they didn't care whether Lin Sanjiu ate the hardtack or not. Instead, their attention was focused on whether she drank the water or not.
Lin Sanjiu moved the bottle further away and placed it on her knees. When she looked down, her eyes fell on the opening of the bottle. The opening of the mineral water bottle was a perfect circle, and the water inside the bottle rippled slightly.
"By the way," Lin Sanjiu pretended to raise her head and asked casually, "What is this world? You can at least tell me this first, right? "
Both of them looked at each other. Just as the bearded man opened his mouth, Sesame Cake laughed first, "Ah, you don't even know this? Did you teleport here randomly, or did you come from another world? "
Lin Sanjiu was so shocked that she almost spilled the water. "You, you know —?"
"Of course. I can tell you more, but you have to wait until we receive the supplies. "Lin Sanjiu shrugged." I should have proven that I know a lot, right? It's time for you to prove it. "
She pointed her chin at the bottle of mineral water.
Lin Sanjiu took the water from the [Planar World], so there shouldn't be any problems. So, why …?
There was only one way to get the answer.
"Okay," Lin Sanjiu smiled and raised the bottle to her lips.
In the next second, she shot out from the chair like a bolt of lightning. She waved her hand at the two people in the room, and the mineral water instantly spilled out from the bottle into the air. The bearded man and Sesame Cake had already realized that something was wrong when their vision blurred. They cried out in surprise at the same time and immediately leaped to the sides, rolling on the floor, just barely avoiding the spilled mineral water.
Most of the water fell on the floor, a small amount splashed on the bedclothes, and a large area was soaked inconspicuously.
Both of them reacted quickly, and they were quite agile. They quickly steadied themselves and stood on either side of the room, blocking Lin Sanjiu in the middle. At this moment, Sesame Cake's legs didn't seem to hurt at all. Her series of jumping, leveraging, and stabilizing her footing were even more agile than her partner's.
Lin Sanjiu looked at the bottle in her hand and shook the small amount of water at the bottom. Then, she grabbed the bedsheet and quilt and found a puddle of blood on the mattress. It was not a big puddle, but more blood would flow out if the skin was cut open. Fortunately, a posthuman's five senses were very sensitive, so she could still create a bloody smell that would be easily detected by others.
"So, this is your main goal," Lin Sanjiu smiled. She didn't look at either of them and continued standing in the middle of the room. "The so-called antibiotics and food are just a smokescreen to cover up the water that you want me to take out, right?"
Both of them stared at her. For a moment, neither of them spoke. At this point, there was no point in hiding anything.
"I took out the water myself. Of course, I know there's nothing wrong with it. I didn't expect to meet anyone here, so it's impossible for me to have done something in the water in advance … In this way, when you ask me to drink a mouthful of water, I'm afraid that no matter who it is, they will drink it without any doubt. "
She turned the bottle upside down and watched as the clear water spilled all over the bed, wetting it. Be it the smell or the shape, it was the same as normal water.
"I don't know what's wrong with it, but it's enough for you to know."
Lin Sanjiu chuckled. Without waiting for her to finish her sentence, she turned around and dashed toward the sesame-faced woman on the left. That woman was indeed not someone to be underestimated. She stomped on the ground and climbed up the wall. Then, she climbed to the corner of the ceiling. However, when she stopped, she heard a dull thud. When she looked up, she realized that her partner had been knocked by something. He slid across the floor and only stopped when he hit the door.
Lin Sanjiu was still using her higher consciousness to suppress her real target. She took a few steps forward and took out another bottle of water. She twisted the cap and tilted it above the bearded man's head.
