At 2: 26, the moment Lin Sanjiu picked up the booklet, she choked on the flying dust and coughed a few times.
On the booklet, on the reception desk, there was a thick layer of dirty dust, and the fingerprints of unknown persons were superimposed on the dust. Whoever had come to register them had obviously not bothered to sweep the dust away. Compared to the booklet, only the pen at the side could be considered as clean.
Under the huge row of words, "Next round of lava! It will open at 2: 30. Please leave your name here for registration. "Below this row of large words, there was only one name lying alone.
However, it might not be accurate to say that it was "just" a name.
The previous posthuman was obviously very cautious and didn't want to leave his real name. That person wrote down a few fake names such as "Chen Yong", "Chen Xiyong", "Xi Yong", "Watermelon Taro", and so on. However, every fake name had a small "Invalid" next to it. In the end, that person probably realized that he couldn't deceive Lin Sanjiu anymore, so he reluctantly wrote down his real name, "Yuan Xiangxi".
Lin Sanjiu could feel the despair in that senior's heart even through the booklet.
"It feels like a huge pocket dimension," Mrs. Manas muttered. Mrs. Manas mumbled, "Are the people from Mushroom and Ant's side really here to change worlds?"
"Yeah," Lin Sanjiu replied. She focused all her attention on the booklet. Speaking of which, ever since she was transported to this planet, she hadn't stepped into any natural pocket dimension.
However, how could "Yuan Xiangxi" be the only one who participated in the registration at 2: 30?
Lin Sanjiu looked at the clock on the wall. Seeing that there was still enough time, she flipped to the front page.
On the first page, there was the same line of words, but the opening time of lava had changed from "2: 30" to "11: 30". On the next page, the opening time was 10: 30 in the morning. Lin Sanjiu followed the time and found that the registration ended at midnight. In other words, the booklet only kept the names of the people who were registered within the last 24 hours.
The opening time of each round of lava was not fixed. The interval between each round could be as short as a few minutes or as long as a few hours. Each round took up a piece of paper, and the first ten or so pieces of paper had more or less a few names written on them. Some of the names appeared repeatedly, such as a girl named Bonnie Bunny. Perhaps it was because Yuan Xiangxi saw the name that he mistakenly thought that it was okay to leave a pseudonym. There were also some names that only appeared once and disappeared without a trace. No one knew where the owners of those names were now.
"That woman said that from 11: 30 this morning, all the rings will be filled with lava …" Lin Sanjiu mumbled to herself as she picked up the pen. "Since she can control the time so well, she and her bearded companion must be one of the people registered in the register, right?"
However, there was only one name on the 11: 30 page, and it was written in Japanese. No matter how she thought about it, Sesame Cake and the bearded man did not look like Japanese.
"That means there's more than one registration point," Mrs. Manas said, "With such a large area, how many people would have to register?"
Naturally, Lin Sanjiu did not know the answer. She picked up the pen and scribbled down her name. Before the hand of the clock pointed to 2: 30, the ink that formed the name "Lin Sanjiu" had already seeped into the lines on the paper.
"Thank you for your participation."
Just as she finished writing her name, a voice suddenly rang out from the corner of the wall and ceiling. Lin Sanjiu jerked her head up and realized that the voice was coming from the speaker. Before the apocalypse, this restaurant should be filled with music all day long.
"In the new round of lava!! Once it is activated, you will notice that the information of all the registered players in the city will appear in your field of vision. Please pay attention to the details because the devil is hiding in the details. The players have also confirmed the location of the 'lava' for this round. Please do not be careless. You must be wary of the most unlikely place to have lava. "
Lin Sanjiu raised her head and listened to the broadcast intently. She did not dare to miss a single word.
"This round of lava!! It will start at 2: 30 pm and end at 6: 30 pm. After that, there will be a one-hour break. For more details, please refer to "Lava!! Player's Love Letter ". I wish everyone can achieve their goal. Now, the countdown begins. 5, 4 … "
"Love Letter!" Lin Sanjiu yelled. She turned around and rushed to the back of the reception desk. She quickly searched for the letter.
"3, 2 …"
No wonder the ring didn't react to her! If that was the case, every round of lava would be hidden in a different place. Sesame Cake calculated the time and dove into the lava. When Lin Sanjiu was about to enter the ring, the previous round had just ended. There was no more lava in the ring.
There was nothing behind the reception desk except for some miscellaneous items.
"... 1. Activate."
Lin Sanjiu's hand happened to be on the registration book. She stood there in a daze. The sound of her blood rushing could be heard clearly in her ears. She waited motionlessly for two seconds. Seeing that nothing happened, she slowly lifted her hand and took a few steps forward.
"Has it started?"
Regardless of where she was, everything looked the same as a few minutes ago. The sunlight shone through the glass window of the front door, reflecting the dust around her feet. There were some napkins and broken plates in the corner. Spider webs had formed.
She looked around the restaurant carefully. She even checked the kitchen and the men's toilet, but she couldn't find the [Lava!! Player's Love Letter]. She was different from other players. Other players might not want to fall into the lava, but she wanted to be sent to the hospital as soon as possible. Therefore, she didn't have any scruples when she searched. She didn't miss anything.
"It's not in the restaurant," Lin Sanjiu was a little discouraged. She opened the door and walked into the warm sunlight outside, "It's so big outside. God knows where it is now …"
The last word "inside" was dragged out and became weaker. It only dissipated after two seconds. Lin Sanjiu's mouth was half open. She stared at the ground in front of her and rubbed the corner of her eyes.
"Lava!! The [Player's Love Letter] was lying in the middle of the lawn not far away. Anyone who came out of the restaurant would definitely see it. It wasn't a book. Instead, it looked like a script that was usually used by actors. It was bound together by A4 paper and the title was printed on the cover.
"Maybe it's designed that way. Players can only see it when they go out," Mrs. Manas mumbled. Just as Mrs. Manas mumbled, Lin Sanjiu strode over, bent down, and reached out to grab it.
At this moment, the A4 notebook under her fingertips disappeared into the air.
"What happened?" Lin Sanjiu pinched her fingers. She was a little confused, "Do you want me to see it or not?"
"Over there!" Mrs. Manas suddenly shouted.
Lin Sanjiu looked up and saw the paper book again. It was lying on a bench by the roadside. It was the same bench that she was sitting on. However, when Lin Sanjiu rushed to the bench and reached for it, it disappeared again.
As the saying goes, if there is one, there will be two, and there will be three.
Lin Sanjiu crossed her arms and waited for a few seconds. She looked around and found that the [Lava!! Player's Love Letter] had indeed appeared in front of her for the third time. It fell on a round manhole cover. This time, she wasn't in a hurry to get it.
"I've seen this in a f * cking comic before," Lin Sanjiu gritted her teeth and chuckled, "... This is a trick of a bill with a fishing line tied to it."
She strolled toward the paper book, taking her time with each step. As long as she didn't get close to it, the paper book wouldn't move. Lin Sanjiu stopped when she was about five to six steps away from the paper book. She stood still and looked at it. Suddenly, an invisible and colorless Higher Consciousness shot out and pressed down on the [Lava!! Player's Love Letter], but it went straight through the rapidly fading air of the paper book and hit the manhole cover with a loud thud.
"I can't even catch it with my Higher Consciousness …" Lin Sanjiu turned around and looked around.
Even though the duoluozhongs had lava in their bodies, they still followed their usual habits and went about their own business on the street. There was an old lady who had set up a stall, but she still crouched down to wipe the air from time to time when there wasn't even a single fruit left. Lin Sanjiu looked at it for a few times, but she couldn't figure it out. She could only look at the paper book again.
For the fourth time, the paper book seemed to have read her mind. It lay on the ground for a while, but Lin Sanjiu didn't come to pick it up. Instead, it flipped to the first page.
Lin Sanjiu had good eyesight. With a glance from afar, she saw a few sentences on the first page. Every sentence was exactly what she needed to know. "Posthumans who strayed into this world, as unregistered players, are classified as illegal population. If illegal population falls into lava, they will be automatically registered as the next lava!! One of them … "
Due to the angle, she couldn't see the second half of the page clearly.
No matter what, this thing was very important to her. She had to get it no matter what. Putting everything else aside, there were a few fundamental questions that Lin Sanjiu didn't know the answers to. For example, how could she determine where the lava was hiding? What was the goal of the players? Where was the hospital?
"Do we have to fulfill some conditions to get it?" Mrs. Manas suggested.
Lin Sanjiu pursed her lips tightly and didn't say anything. She waved her hand, and the card in her palm fell to the ground and turned into a person. The artist walked around with a brush holder and a shelf on his back. When he saw the direction Lin Sanjiu was pointing at, he lowered his head and sighed silently.
Every time Lin Sanjiu called him out, she would ask him to draw some strange things. Even though the artist's drawing style was very realistic, his drawing speed was unreasonably fast. With just a few strokes, he already had a rough outline on the canvas. When Lin Sanjiu urged him to draw a second time, the paper book on the ground flew into the air.
On one side, there was a strong suction force from the gap above the canvas, and on the other side, there was an invisible force that was trying to keep the canvas in place. As the two forces intertwined with each other, the A4 paper book could not withstand the force, and it cracked open with a sizzling sound.
