"This is not going to be easy."
Lin Sanjiu had no idea what Sesame Cake's explanation meant, but at least she was clear about one thing: only those that appeared in the shape of a ring could be lava.
Now, she was in a situation where she had no weapons to use. When Sesame Cake was blasted out of the wall, she swept away the food and water bottles on the floor, destroying most of them. There were a few mineral water bottles that could have been used as weapons, but now, they were squashed by the collapsed half of the room. The mouth of the bottle could no longer be circular.
Of course, there were more mineral water bottles in the [Planar World], but how was she going to get them? Speaking of which, this ability was really unlucky recently.
"I didn't know there was such an ability," Mrs. Manas was still alive and kicking even though she couldn't use her Higher Consciousness. She praised Lin Sanjiu, "Who would have thought that I would need to guard against such an ability? It's even more powerful than your route 300. "
There were all sorts of abilities and items in the apocalyptic world that were beyond human imagination. Even if they were on full alert 24 hours a day, which was impossible for humans to do, they would only be able to defend against a small portion of the things that were out of their control. Lin Sanjiu was already used to this.
"This is really interesting."
She looked at the wheel above her head and snorted, "Let's not talk about abilities for now. Every posthuman will try their best to collect items that they think are powerful … In other words, the probability of picking a powerful item is very high if we choose randomly. Yet, your wheel just happened to pick the most useless one. According to the rule that the more powerful an ability is, the more restrictions there are. Could it be that … you did something to it? "
Sesame Cake obviously didn't expect to hear such words from Lin Sanjiu. He was stunned for a moment before he took a step back, "You … You are much sharper than I thought."
She exhaled and forced a smile. "There's no harm in telling you. All these years, I've been using all kinds of methods I can to improve this ability. It's the same this time. "She raised her hand and waved a piece of yellowish paper in front of Lin Sanjiu. Before Lin Sanjiu could see it clearly, she put it back," I'm really sorry. We lured you here so that we can lure you into the lava. Since you don't want to cooperate, I don't mind using force. I haven't seen anyone who can resist my package. "
Lin Sanjiu fixed her eyes on the woman as she slowly adjusted her muscles and joints to a ready state. Her blood rushed through her veins, and her strength was awakened. It filled every inch of her muscle fiber, and she was ready to unleash an astonishing amount of power at any moment. Hei Zeji once told her that no matter how strong an external object was, there would always be a time when it wouldn't work. The only thing that could truly become a weapon in her hands that would never betray her was herself.
"So what if this item is useless?" She chuckled and spun [The Cosplay Lover Visited the Funeral Parlor Today] between her fingers. "… I'm going to use it to pry open your mouth and send you into the lava."
Sesame Cake wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't say anything. She seemed to be used to her opponent's panic, so she didn't know how to deal with Lin Sanjiu's reaction. Then, she turned around and rushed to the double bed on the other side of the room, shouting, "Second dish!"
Lin Sanjiu let Sesame Cake run over. She heard the spinning sound of the spinning wheel above her head. Lin Sanjiu looked up and saw that the color bars on the spinning wheel had blurred. When it stopped, the color bar that the needle bit on had changed into a blue one. The words that floated above the wheel had changed as well. It said, "Go after her."
Sesame Cake had already run out of the room in two short seconds. Lin Sanjiu didn't need any explanation from her to understand what the "second dish" was.
Even though she had no intention of chasing after Sesame Cake, her body moved involuntarily toward the door. When she ran out of the bedroom and reached the corridor on the third floor, she saw Sesame Cake rushing into the room next to hers.
Even without her sharp intuition, she knew that she shouldn't chase after Sesame Cake. Unfortunately, the spinning wheel above her head stubbornly showed the same three words, "Go after her."
It was as if the order was her own idea. It automatically drove her body. She didn't need to think much about it, just like how a person would eat when they were hungry or sleep when they were sleepy. If she listened carefully, she could even hear Mrs. Manas's slightly panicked voice. She kept repeating in her mind, "Go after her. Go after her … What's going on? Go after her … Go after her … "
After Sesame Cake entered the room, it did not make any sound. Lin Sanjiu felt that she had just taken a step forward when she bit her tongue with her teeth. The sharp pain made her shudder and stop in her tracks. The metallic taste of blood spread through her teeth.
The second dish was different from the first dish.
For a person with strong willpower, there was actually a loophole that they could take advantage of. Coincidentally, Lin Sanjiu was one of those people with strong willpower.
"Isn't it just chasing after her?" Lin Sanjiu said to herself in her mind. She forcefully suppressed her restless left foot, "I will chase after her. I will definitely chase after her. I promise. But, I need to change my route … I need to change my route … "
From where she was, she could see the corner of the room that Sesame Cake had rushed into. Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat when she saw the outline of a sink. That was a washroom, or rather, a bathroom.
Sesame Cake's strategy was clear now.
All she needed to do was to rush into the bathroom and order Lin Sanjiu to follow through the spinning wheel. Without a doubt, the moment Lin Sanjiu entered the bathroom, she would be met with a raised shower head or a hose connected to a faucet. It all depended on the bathroom's facilities and structure. When that happened, lava would spurt out from the hole and engulf Lin Sanjiu.
It was simple, fast, and there would be no mistakes.
"I need to retreat first."
Lin Sanjiu repeated her words over and over again like an adult coaxing a child. However, she was coaxing her own consciousness, which was affected by external forces. As Lin Sanjiu spoke, she sketched an action plan in her mind to make it easier for her brain to accept it. "I will go back to the bedroom first and jump down from the hole in the wall … Then, I will open the front door and walk up the stairs from the first floor … This is another route … She is waiting for me in the bathroom. She won't run away, so it doesn't matter if I choose another route to chase after her …"
There was a saying that one was their own worst enemy, and it was true. Even with Lin Sanjiu's steel-like willpower, she couldn't help but feel a strong sense of resistance when she forced herself to retreat step by step. She had no choice but to command the muscles in her legs, turn her ankles, and turn her toes. With her strong willpower, she forced herself to perform every action that she was accustomed to. Soon, sweat beaded on her forehead, and her body began to tremble.
However, in the end, she still relied on her own weapon to resist the force of the spinning wheel above her head and successfully returned to the bedroom.
When Lin Sanjiu finally moved to the hole in the wall, she vaguely heard Sesame Cake's slightly anxious voice from the bathroom, "Where is she?" His words almost made her knees buckle. She wanted to run over again, but she bit the tip of her tongue just in time. While she quivered from the pain, she kept repeating in her mind, "I'll go after her from the first floor. I'll go after her from another route." Finally, she exerted all her strength and jumped out of the hole in the wall.
She landed on the sidewalk outside the townhouse with a loud thud. She almost lost her footing. With the two forces clashing against each other, it was harder for her to move. Lin Sanjiu staggered back to the door and pushed it open, which was not locked.
It was much easier for her to walk up the stairs compared to when she retreated from the bathroom. All she had to do was to try to control her speed and her voice, and go up the stairs as slowly, quietly and noiselessly as possible. Fortunately, the stairs were thickly carpeted, and she made no sound at all as she went up.
Sesame Cake had waited in the bathroom for a few minutes in vain, so he must be full of questions.
While Lin Sanjiu was on the stairs of the second floor, she could hear the woman's muffled footsteps and her occasional mutterings. Every time she spoke, the force of the spinning wheel would increase, and Lin Sanjiu found it more difficult to maintain the spinning wheel.
When she reached the corner of the staircase on the third floor, Sesame Cake finally poked his head out of the bathroom. Sesame Cake couldn't see what was happening at the bottom of the staircase, so she didn't even think of looking up the stairs. She looked around and realized that the corridor was empty. Then, she walked out of the bathroom with a dark green plastic hose in her hand.
"That's weird."
Sesame Cake whispered. He took two steps toward the bedroom, but he stopped because the hose wasn't long enough. She peeked into the bedroom and frowned, "She's not there … Where is she?"
At this moment, Lin Sanjiu was like a leopard stalking its prey in the bushes. She approached the end of the staircase on the third floor quietly. As long as Sesame Cake turned around, he would be able to see her. She wiped the sweat off her face and revealed a smile.
Sesame Cake's spinning wheel had chosen a useless item for her, but there was one thing that was very important: Sesame Cake didn't know what the item could be used for.
Perhaps sensing something strange, at this moment, Sesame Cake suddenly twisted its neck and subconsciously raised the hose in its hand. When her gaze fell on the staircase, she was shocked. She put down the hose in her hand. She was shocked, confused, and frightened. She couldn't help whispering, "How … How did she die? Why did she suddenly die? "
