Updated as soon as possible, the latest chapter of the apocalyptic paradise!]
The light on the wall was dim, as if he was a patient who could faint at any moment. Lin Sanjiu raised the price list and looked at it a few more times under the stingy light of the wall lamp. She found a detail that she had not noticed before. "Eh?" she exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Raven Jiang asked.
She thought for a moment, but she couldn't figure out the significance of her discovery. "Do you have your price list with you?"
Crow Jiang pushed his long hair away from his ears and pulled out a black hair clip from his hair. He spread his legs apart and a small shadow of an item appeared in between the hair clip. He made a few strokes and replied, "Oh." Then, he took out the price list and passed it to Lin Sanjiu. In an environment where they might have to resort to trickery to survive, this was a gesture of trust.
"Thank you." Lin Sanjiu didn't thank him for the price list.
Raven Jiang was confused, "What for?"
"Forget it."
Since she was missing a hand, Lin Sanjiu placed the price list on the floor and compared it with the one in her hand. She read line by line. Both price lists were basically the same. There was a lot of information. If she didn't filter through the information, it would be hard to notice the small difference.
"Here."
She placed the two price lists together and pointed to one of the charging items, "Why isn't there a flower basket item in your price list?"
Raven Jiang looked down and was a little confused, "Yeah, I don't have it." He paused for a moment and asked, "Flower basket … What about it?"
"It's just a little weird." Lin Sanjiu sat on the floor and took the opportunity to rest, "I'm not sure what it's for … Look, the price list only lists the prices of various items at the hospital's cashier counter. Since it's a cashier counter, it should only list medical items. But what kind of medical item is a flower basket? "
She looked at the two price lists and felt that she wasn't making a mountain out of a molehill, "Logically speaking, it should be an item from the subsidiary store. But … why isn't there any other item listed in the subsidiary store except for a flower basket? "
Crow Jiang suddenly let out a 'cooing' sound from his throat, like a restless pigeon.
"Why?" Lin Sanjiu raised her head, "You have an idea?"
"This is my specialty." He was so excited that his face was pale. He gestured with his hands in the air. "I'm familiar with this technique! You know it too! "
"What do you mean?"
"This price list was printed out by someone," Crow Jiang said quickly. "That's why they made a mistake!"
… The scam has been going on since I woke up?
Lin Sanjiu was shocked, but she quickly became confused, "But what's the point of making such a price list? Other than the flower basket, the other information is the same as the real price list … It didn't lead me to any player's room. "
Her ward was at the waist of the barrel-shaped hospital, while Crow Jiang's ward was at the bottom. There were at least hundreds of sickrooms in between. No matter who the person who made the price list was, it was impossible for him to spread fake price lists across hundreds of sickrooms. From this point of view, the price list in Crow Jiang's hand should be the real deal.
"That's true," Crow Jiang responded. Raven River reacted, "If it were me, I would definitely send you to some other place and set up a trap for you. However, it only said 'the bottom of the hospital' … "
"That's because the purpose is to get you to take the price list."
"That makes sense. This is an angle that I didn't think of." Just as Lin Sanjiu thought of this, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. She immediately leaped up from the ground. However, she was still one step too late. Before she could jump up, something suddenly came out from the wall behind her and slashed her waist. At the same time, the voice of the child who spoke to her shouted, "Kidney!"
When Lin Sanjiu landed on the ground and twisted her body, she saw a short arm quickly retracting into the wall. The rectangular steel frame flashed in the dark and disappeared along with the arm.
However, this time, the plastic red kidney did not fall.
Fortunately, the child in the wall had pressed the rectangular frame on the spot where Lin Sanjiu had lost one kidney. Otherwise, if she had lost the second kidney, she would have died in the hospital today.
Both of them stared at the flat wall for a few seconds without saying a word. That scene happened so suddenly that Lin Sanjiu, who was still in a state of shock, began to wonder if she was hallucinating.
"That child …" Crow Jiang said hesitantly, "He didn't take it, right?"
Lin Sanjiu shook her head. When she walked closer to the wall, the metal gauntlet clattered and wrapped around her fist. Since the child had missed his attack, he might have already escaped. Lin Sanjiu looked at the wall for a few times. She wasn't sure if she could destroy the structure of this pocket dimension. At that moment, the child's voice rang out again. Lin Sanjiu didn't know who he was talking to. Even though his voice was soft, it sounded muffled, "I missed. She doesn't have a kidney!"
The child was just behind the two walls!
Lin Sanjiu identified the direction and was about to chase after the child when Crow Jiang pulled her back and shook his head.
[What are you doing?]
Lin Sanjiu stared at him and cleared her throat. Then, she winked at Lin Sanjiu and suddenly shouted, "Hey, don't walk so fast. Help me! I don't have a waist! "
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment, but she quickly understood what Crow Jiang meant. She kicked the fake price list on the ground and immediately turned to leave.
Crow Jiang was like an old lady who had her bag snatched away as he called out to her from behind. He almost cried out in a pitiful voice, "I can't walk fast. Didn't you say that you would help me?"
Even though Lin Sanjiu was running as fast as she could, as if she was heading towards the direction where the child's voice came from, she was actually taking turns to maintain the same distance between her and Raven Jiang. Whenever she was about to lose sight of him, she would hide behind a corner and wait for him to catch up to her. She never let him out of her sight. Sure enough, in less than five minutes, there was another movement in the maze-like path.
Just when Crow Jiang was panting and moving his legs, the wall in front of him suddenly shook. Then, an arm stretched out from the middle. Compared to before, this arm was raised much higher. The arm was holding a steel frame and it swung it straight at Crow Jiang's chest. If it hit, Lin Sanjiu knew that she would definitely hear the child scream "heart".
Taking the kidney was one thing, but going for the heart was a little too vicious.
Crow Jiang's waist and abdomen were 'sealed'. Naturally, he couldn't turn his body around, nor could he evade. His hands were still on one of his thighs. It was only a step later than the steel frame that he raised towards his chest. With Lin Sanjiu's current distance, it was impossible for her to save the child in such a short span of half a second. Just as the frame was about to hit the child's chest, the child's hand, which clearly belonged to the child, was pulled back by an invisible force. The child screamed in shock as the steel frame was knocked away from his hand. It fell to the ground with a clatter.
Lin Sanjiu walked into the path unhurriedly. The child, whose arm was tightly bound by Lin Sanjiu's higher consciousness, was still struggling. Half of her body had been pulled out of the wall. Her face was flushed red, and her angry voice was getting more and more unpleasant, "Let me go, you electric pole! I should have chopped off your brain! "
Crow Jiang sat on the ground. He hadn't recovered from the thrilling experience just now. His chest heaved up and down as he gasped for air.
The little girl looked like she was about ten years old. Her limbs were slender, and she hadn't even started puberty yet. She had a fierce expression on her face and an imposing manner, but she was as ruthless as any posthuman who had killed before. "Don't touch my harvester!"
"So, this thing is called a harvester?"
Lin Sanjiu picked up the steel frame and studied it. She didn't approach the little girl. Even though one of the child's arms was held by Lin Sanjiu's higher consciousness, the other shoulder, arm, and leg were still submerged in the wall. If Lin Sanjiu got too close, she would be easily attacked.
"You can travel through walls," Lin Sanjiu looked at the little girl, "Not bad. I wonder if you can still travel through walls without your cornea. "
The child's face stiffened. She looked at the steel harvester in Lin Sanjiu's hand and snorted, "Come here if you can. Come here and collect it!"
Lin Sanjiu's higher consciousness immediately wrapped around the harvester and pressed it down on the little girl. The little girl screamed involuntarily. She didn't expect that Lin Sanjiu could harvest her cornea without getting close to her. The little girl twisted her head to avoid the harvester, but the steel frame stopped in mid-air.
"Come out." Using her higher consciousness, Lin Sanjiu pressed the harvester firmly on the little girl's head and shouted, "I know this little girl is not alone. Come out, or I will harvest everything that I can from her."
Ever since she arrived at the bottom floor of the hospital, she had a feeling that had never stopped. As time passed, it became clearer and clearer. It was as if she was submerged in the deep sea. She couldn't see anything clearly when she opened her eyes, but she could vaguely sense the school of sharks swimming around her, looking for an opportunity to strike.
Even though she had drunk the coffee and gained 30% of her strength, she was still far from her peak state.
Seeing that she was about to face the person behind the little girl, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help feeling a little anxious. But of course, she did not let any of her expressions reveal her worries. She shouted again, "Get out here!"
"You, come out and help me vent my anger," the little girl cast a sidelong glance at Lin Sanjiu, "Such a self-righteous woman deserves to be separated —"
Suddenly, the little girl's eyes widened as if they were going to pop out of their sockets. Her face was filled with disbelief. Before Lin Sanjiu could ponder over the matter, she heard a low voice from the other side of the wall. "Kidney!"
When the little girl screamed at Lin Sanjiu, "Pull me over!" Lin Sanjiu immediately understood the situation and retracted her Higher Consciousness. Without any resistance, the little girl's body was spat out by the wall without a hitch.
Lin Sanjiu looked up and saw a steel harvester sweeping across the child's body from the other side of the wall. It was just a hair's breadth away from hitting the little girl's lower back. Then, the wall closed and everything returned to normal.
Raven Jiang stared blankly at the scene before she let out a sigh, "What the hell is this place?"
