The words "I want to trade" floated in the air. Even after the words faded away, no one walked to the counter. Lin Sanjiu was not the only one who was looking around, but no one seemed to have noticed where the voice came from.
The female NPC at the counter suddenly stopped urging them. From her angle, she could barely see the intersection of the path, but that did not dampen her spirits. She leaned forward and rested her arms on the counter. No one knew what she was looking forward to, but her chubby face looked even rounder with a smile.
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Amidst the silence, Raven Jiang sniffed twice. Under the dim light of the wall lamp, the muddy and hot air flowed past them like a dirty stream in a tropical jungle. Wei Xing scratched the back of her neck. Her red fingertip flickered through her pale platinum hair. Time seemed to be stretched out. Every second of her existence became more distinct and heavy. She didn't allow anyone to ignore her.
"How long has it been?"
Lin Sanjiu began to feel a little anxious. "It should have been a few minutes since that person said" I want to trade ". He didn't show himself, but why isn't the female NPC urging him? There's no movement around. How long do they have to wait here? "
"They …" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help raising her head to look at the two people beside her. Of course, Raven Jiang was "sitting" on her right arm, so she could only see his thigh wrapped in his jeans. Wei Xing tapped the ground with her silver cane. She moved a step away from Lin Sanjiu and moved to the side of the wall.
"Why did she move?
She doesn't want to have her back facing me? "
Perhaps this was just a guess, but as if to confirm her guess, Wei Xing turned around slightly and quickly glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. Seeing that Lin Sanjiu was also looking at her, she smiled at Lin Sanjiu, but she didn't turn back. Now, Wei Xing's back was facing the wall.
"She doesn't trust me," Lin Sanjiu thought.
"She said that she wanted to find a newcomer who wasn't in cahoots with her, but in reality, she was also wary of them … Speaking of which, who knew if she was as frank and generous as she portrayed herself to be?
Just then, Raven Jiang moved his body and whispered to her, "Um, put me down, I'm really uncomfortable like this."
Coincidentally, her arms were also sore. Lin Sanjiu did as she was told and placed him on the ground. She looked at the 50 sails on his back and said, "Don't worry. If there is any danger and you can't run, I will carry you on my back."
Crow Jiang nodded and his hair slid down.
To be honest, other than Puppeteer and Bohemia, the only person she could trust in this hospital was Raven Jiang. After all, it was the first time for both of them to enter the hospital … Huh?
"He has never been to the hospital before," Mrs. Manas suddenly said, "Didn't he say that himself? Didn't his chances of survival drop by quite a bit? Is there any way to confirm that this is his first time in the hospital? "
Unless he suddenly took out a steel harvester, Lin Sanjiu thought to herself. When she recalled how close he was to her head just now, she couldn't help but tighten her back muscles. What was wrong with her? How could she be so careless? Of course, Raven Jiang might be telling the truth, but before she could confirm that, how could she let him get close to her?
Wei Xing glanced at both of them again. She probably thought that she had looked away very quickly, but Lin Sanjiu still noticed it.
"How long has it been?" Lin Sanjiu asked as she combed her hair. Her long hair fell like water and covered her face. Through the layer of hair, the pair of eyes shifted back to the two of them. "About three to five minutes, right?"
Lin Sanjiu comforted herself that the coffee was still working. If the situation changed, at least she could still put up a fight. As soon as this thought rose in her mind, she shuddered and looked at the high wall beside her. The top of the wall was empty, and the two posthumans were gone.
"Oh no," she cursed. "Why didn't I think of that earlier?
Was it really a coincidence that the posthuman was lying on the wall? " Lin Sanjiu thought about it again. She was the first one to notice that there was someone on the wall. After she noticed it, Wei Xing acted as if he had just noticed it and greeted the person on the wall. If that was the case, the posthuman on the wall had a strange reaction. He didn't seem to know how to react to Lin Sanjiu's sudden greeting. At that time, was he just dazzled by Lin Sanjiu's beauty? Or was he startled by the unforeseen circumstances?
No matter how she looked at it, Wei Xing didn't seem like the type that lacked companions and was alone.
"If it's one against three..."
Lin Sanjiu exhaled slowly and tried to smooth the goosebumps on her body. When she felt the first drop of cold sweat trickling down her back, a white light suddenly shone from her head to her toes. [Defense Forcefield] was activated.
The two people beside her turned their heads to look at her.
"What's wrong?" Raven Jiang seemed like he wanted to laugh, but his facial muscles were very stiff. It was as if he was trying to peel off a thick plastic mask. "Why did you suddenly activate the defense?"
Lin Sanjiu didn't intend to activate her [Defense Forcefield]. Mrs. Manas, who was her subconscious image, naturally activated her defense when she was shocked by her anxiety and doubt. However, Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell her the truth.
"Because it's not safe around here," Lin Sanjiu realized that her voice was dry and sharp, "Didn't Wei Xing say it?"
"Yeah, I also activated it," Wei Xing smiled and looked at Raven Jiang, "Don't you have any protective gear?"
"I do," Raven Jiang said immediately, as if he was afraid that Lin Sanjiu would suspect him.
It seemed like he didn't trust Wei Xing either. In any case, Raven Jiang was more trustworthy than Wei Xing. Lin Sanjiu thought for a moment and asked softly, "What about Fiftieth's younger brother?"
Wei Xing licked his lips.
"He should be hiding around here," Lin Sanjiu looked around and tilted her head with a smile, "How would I know?"
The so-called ugly old man only existed in her mouth at the moment. Oh, she only heard from Wei Xing whether Fiftieth was really in his forties or fifties. Lin Sanjiu only knew two facts. First, Fiftieth looked like a child. Second, they had been out for a long time, but their so-called younger brother was nowhere to be seen.
"Get away from me!"
An angry roar suddenly came from afar like a thunderclap. It was followed by a deafening boom. The wall shook along with the ground, startling everyone. Lin Sanjiu looked toward the source of the sound. From the corner of her eye, she saw that Wei Xing had moved at the same time. Her heart skipped a beat. She twisted her body and retreated hastily. However, she was still one step too late. The [Defense Forcefield] on her body was grazed by Lin Sanjiu's attack. Instantly, it glowed brightly and flickered for a few seconds.
When she regained her footing, Wei Xing's silver cane was still raised straight in the air. Raven Jiang was the closest to Wei Xing. His face was even paler than the cane.
"There's really something wrong with you," Lin Sanjiu sneered. "Where are your companions?"
"You don't have to worry about that," Wei Xing's smile was still as radiant as ever. "I should thank you. I can use my new points to exchange for the Recovery Ointment again."
She would be a formidable opponent!
Lin Sanjiu sent a wave of Higher Consciousness toward Wei Xing. When Wei Xing had no choice but to put down his cane to maintain his balance, Lin Sanjiu dashed toward Raven Jiang and grabbed his wrist. "Come with me —"
Before she could finish her sentence, she felt a sharp pain in her wrist as if it was being drilled by an electric drill. The [Defense Forcefield] on her wrist flickered again.
Lin Sanjiu raised her eyes in disbelief.
"I'm sorry," Raven Jiang retracted his hand expressionlessly.
"What's going on?"
Before Lin Sanjiu could think further, Wei Xing had already retreated. Once the distance between them widened, Lin Sanjiu didn't know what kind of tricks Wei Xing would use. Lin Sanjiu couldn't care less about Raven Jiang. She threw Fiftieth on the ground and chased after Wei Xing. She was more suited for close combat. As long as she could grab Wei Xing's side, she was confident that she could defeat him quickly.
Wei Xing seemed to have anticipated this move of hers. He pinched and grabbed the air with his empty hand. When he opened his palm, Lin Sanjiu's field of vision was immediately filled with a new scene. It was as if the scene in a movie had changed, or the projection screen had changed. The path, the maze, the high wall, and the toll booth were all shattered. In their place was the backstage of a theater. Makeup tables were filled with all kinds of equipment. Rows of round light bulbs glowed on the mirrors. A few figures in costume were whispering to each other in a corner.
Lin Sanjiu's momentum did not slow down.
It was very simple, because all of this was definitely an illusion. Even if she couldn't see the real environment around her, as long as she continued to chase in the direction that Wei Xing had retreated to, she would definitely be able to catch her. However, in the next second, her thigh slammed into a makeup table. The bottles and jars shook for a while, and a fluffy makeup brush fell unsteadily. She bent down and reached out to catch it.
Just as the makeup brush was about to fall into her palm, it disappeared with a whoosh.
Along with the makeup brush, the backstage of the theater that looked more realistic than reality disappeared. Lin Sanjiu straightened her body in a daze. She realized that she was leaning against a wall. The "makeup table" she slammed into just now should be this wall. When she turned her head again, she realized that Wei Xing had already disappeared.
That woman would definitely come back with her companions. After all, she had spent so much effort to deceive people. She probably wouldn't let her prey escape.
Lin Sanjiu turned around and looked at Raven Jiang. The latter knew that he wouldn't be able to go far if he hugged Wei Xing's thigh. He stood still and stared at Lin Sanjiu. Both of his hands were holding something that looked like a stick.
"She's gone," Lin Sanjiu whispered, "but I have a feeling that she hasn't gone far. What about you? You should tell me what happened to you, right? "
Raven Jiang didn't say anything.
At this moment, the area around the crossroads was filled with screams, curses, the screeching of Special Items, and the tearing sound of abilities flying through the air. Just as Lin Sanjiu was about to take a step closer to Raven Jiang, she raised her head abruptly and saw a black figure pouncing down from the high wall. The black figure wrapped Fifty Sails on the ground, turned around, and ran in another direction.
