The afternoon sun shone brightly, bathing the shops and the road in the sunlight. The door of the clothing store named "Roth" was hidden in the shadow cast by a round platform. Lin Sanjiu's own shadow and the road behind her were reflected on the glass door. She couldn't tell who was watching her from the dark corner of the store.
"Hei Zeji?"
Lin Sanjiu called out tentatively. Deep down, she knew that it couldn't be him who was being so sneaky. She pushed the door lightly and found that it was locked.
"Be careful."
Just when Lin Sanjiu was about to break the lock with her fist, Mrs. Manas reminded her, "If the lava is hidden behind the glass, even the [Defense Forcefield] won't be able to save you."
When she walked into the coffee shop, the door was already open. Now that she thought about it, it was true that she hadn't opened the glass door yet, so she couldn't be sure that the lava was not behind the door. Lin Sanjiu paused for a moment. When she raised her head again, she felt that there was nothing in the dark shop. That pair of heavy, straight eyes that had watched her run past seemed to be a figment of her imagination.
"Is he an" illegal human "who is hiding?"
Even though Lin Sanjiu didn't know why Sesame Cake and the other man wanted to lure Lin Sanjiu into the lava, it wasn't hard to guess that there must be some kind of benefit to it. Unfortunately, she wasn't particularly interested in dragging someone else into this mess. As long as the person in the store didn't bother her, she could just turn around and leave.
Just as the thought crossed her mind, the glass door suddenly vibrated. At that moment, it seemed to have turned into some kind of substance that could transmit sound, just like a loudspeaker. Then, a deep male voice rang out from the glass.
"Take this as a friendly warning," the voice had the hoarseness of a heavy smoker, "You will regret coming in."
Lin Sanjiu sneered, "What a coincidence. I was going to leave anyway. Before I leave, I have a friendly warning for you. Your tone makes me want to go in and visit you. Maybe the next posthuman won't be as good-tempered as I am. "
There was a moment of silence on the glass door. Then, the heavy smoker let out a low "Hmph". Lin Sanjiu looked at the clothing store from top to bottom. She took two steps back, but she didn't leave. She waited until the glass door couldn't take it anymore and asked, "Why are you still standing here?"
"I'm looking for someone."
By this time, she had confirmed that the person was one of the five "illegal humans", "When did you enter this store? Did you see anyone nearby? "
"Interesting," the rough voice on the glass door spoke, "Others use their eyes to look for someone, but you use your mouth to look for someone.
"I can also find people with my fists," Lin Sanjiu crossed her arms, "I don't mind showing you."
Sometimes, she felt that this kind of conversation was a little silly. When two posthumans met each other in a slightly tense situation, they would act like wild animals with their fur standing up to maintain their imposing manner. Regardless of their actual combat strength, their mouths would definitely be more ruthless than the other.
When it came to actual fighting, there were far fewer of them than these gunpowder filled conversations, but it was also much more terrifying. Usually, after experiencing a few worlds at the latest, the initial excitement and elation of "I have superhuman abilities" would be extinguished by reality. Most people would start to realize that regardless of whether they were promoted from a normal middle school to a celebrity high school or from a normal person to a posthuman, there would always be people who were more powerful than them in this new field.
She remembered that Qing Jiuliu once commented, "Most people have to be kicked in the balls before they learn to be humble."
After the confrontation between the two, the glass door finally gave in a little, "I don't have the person you are looking for."
"You still don't know who I am looking for."
"I don't care who you are. I'm the only one in this store."
He pretended not to hear Lin Sanjiu's questions. Lin Sanjiu thought for a while and asked another question, "My friend got separated from me about ten minutes ago. Perhaps, he was already inside before you came in."
"Impossible," the heavy smoker answered immediately, "I have been here for thirty minutes, and no one has come in. Besides, as long as someone comes in, no matter where I am, I can sense it clearly. "
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. She had hoped that he would enter the store after 2: 30, so the lava wouldn't be hidden behind the window.
"Ah, I get it now!" With this thought in mind, she couldn't help but mutter to herself, "… Illegal people and other players still have this effect."
No wonder Raven Jiang wanted to use "Lava!! Player's Love Letter "to keep her in suspense. Now that she thought about it, every time the fake information appeared, the terrain, the material, and the shape were completely different. Raven Jiang probably thought that she was Puppeteer's goose to scout for the lava.
"What did you say?" The glass door shook. "What illegal people? Are you talking about illegal people?"
Lin Sanjiu raised one of her eyebrows. She looked at the shadowy figure behind the glass door with interest, but she didn't say anything.
"There was a woman who suddenly wanted to attack me." The heavy smoker seemed to be a little anxious. "I think she also said the words' illegal population '. What does that mean? Is it referring to me? "
"Then, let's make a deal. I will tell you what it means, and you tell me if you have seen my friend. "
He must have done something to the shop. Lin Sanjiu was very sure of that. When she looked into the store just now, she realized that it was quite a big store. If the heavy smoker was just hiding in a corner of the store, he wouldn't have been able to follow Lin Sanjiu as she hurried past the door. This was because what she noticed wasn't just a quick "glance", but a long "stare".
If the whole store was his "eyes", he could cover a lot of ground. It was very likely that he had seen Hei Zeji in the past 30 minutes.
"… So, what you're looking for is a man with obvious muscle lines, but you can't tell if he doesn't take off his clothes. He may or may not be carrying a knife on his back. He loves sweets, but he might not be eating sweets right now." The heavy smoker's voice came from the glass door, "Other than the fact that this guy is a man, I really don't know what he looks like."
After all, she had not seen Hei Zeji for a long time. Perhaps the description was a little vague.
"But, if you are looking for a man, I have only seen one. He ran away about four to five minutes ago. He went east."
"What does he look like?"
"I'm not gay. Why would I care what that man looks like? Anyway, he is a man. He runs quite fast and he is holding something that looks like a long pole in his hand. Alright, now it's your turn to ask. How did I become an illegal human? "
Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath. She was afraid that the man would run away if she delayed any further, so she gave him a brief explanation. Then, she pointed to the direction where she registered herself, "If you have any more questions, you can go to an Indian restaurant. You will find a registration book at the reception counter … I'll make a move first!"
"Wait!"
Just as Lin Sanjiu was about to dash out of the shop, the man shouted from the entrance of the shop. His voice was like sandpaper due to the burning smoke, "I know! You are in cahoots with that woman from whatever gang!"
"There are gangs in this place?"
Lin Sanjiu stopped and turned around to look at Roth Clothing Store, "What the hell are you talking about?"
Bang! The glass door flew open, but it did not shatter when it hit the wall. Then, there was a sharp noise that pierced through the air. A few shadows of different shapes rushed out from the door. Then, the heavy smoker roared, "So this is your plan! You don't have the guts to come in and look for me, so you want to lure me out! I won't let you have the chance to meet up with that woman! "
Before Lin Sanjiu could figure out what was wrong with the man, the shadows of different shapes were about to hit her face. Seeing that she couldn't block them in time, she activated her [Defense Forcefield] and formed a barrier between her skin and the shadows.
"Thanks!" Lin Sanjiu said to Mrs. Manas, but Mrs. Manas did not appreciate it. "Don't just stand there, look!"
Lin Sanjiu looked up and saw the faces of the shadows that were separated by her Higher Consciousness. Even though they were separated, they were not affected by her Higher Consciousness.
A thin necklace with a price tag on it screeched and spun in the air, twisting with the Higher Consciousness that it had entangled, trying to climb up her throat. A gray sweater was like an old lover who clung to her. No matter how many times it was separated by the [Defense Force Field], it would immediately wrap itself around her body. Sometimes, it was only a few millimeters away from her skin. Other than that, there was also a scarf that kept trying to strangle her neck and a shopping bag that tried to cover her head.
The items that flew out from the clothing store were obviously old products. Lin Sanjiu couldn't imagine what would happen if she was touched by those items that were destined to come into contact with her body.
Lin Sanjiu really wanted to stuff the gray sweater and all the other clothes in the shop into that heavy smoker's mouth. Fortunately, the heavy smoker was in luck today. If she did not catch up to the man who just passed by, she would have a hard time finding him in the future.
"Tell those things to let go of me."
Even though she had the [Defense Forcefield] and those things couldn't get in, the clothes and accessories that were floating in the air were still entangling her. "Otherwise, I will tear this store down!"
