The oppressive sense of familiarity tightened its grip on Lin Sanjiu's heart. The longer she stayed in the foggy room, the more clear and familiar the feeling of helplessness in her body became. She had experienced this feeling once before. It was when she accidentally bumped into a guard. However, at that time, it was like being hit by a wave. It came and went as fast as it came. Now, she was like an apple soaked in wine, slowly seeping into her skin.
"Looks like you haven't gotten your hands on 'Lava!! Player's Love Letter ', "Wei Xing shifted his gaze away, but he seemed to know Lin Sanjiu's condition very well. He sighed softly," You won't have the chance to see it anymore. "
"Then, tell me!"
Wei Xing ignored him. Her attention seemed to have drifted away. "The last one," she mumbled with a trembling voice, "You are the last one … I can finally go. Take care of yourself. "
After that, the hazy color on the translucent window flashed and disappeared. It returned to the gray, metallic color of the laboratory. Lin Sanjiu's heart leaped into her throat. Her fists on the door became softer and softer, and her body slid uncontrollably down again and again.
During the short exchange of words, Lin Sanjiu turned her head to look at the red face on the floor. Black cracks were gradually forming on it. The worst part was that even though the red-faced man had transformed into a guard, his eyes were still open. This meant that he was still conscious. Lin Sanjiu couldn't see clearly, but she felt that she could see his pupils dilating due to fear.
She didn't even dare to look at Hei Zeji.
"Wait, wait," Lin Sanjiu tried her best to straighten her body. Mrs. Manas' warning kept ringing in her mind. "I … I have another question …"
"What is it?"
Wei Xing stopped moving and asked from a spot further away from the door. Lin Sanjiu wasn't sure if she was overthinking it, but she felt a little guilty when she talked to Lin Sanjiu. If it wasn't for that little bit of guilt, Lin Sanjiu didn't know if she would have left a long time ago.
"Do you have many Special Items deducted from you?"
Wei Xing obviously didn't expect this question at all. He couldn't help but be shocked. "M-my special item?"
"Yes," Lin Sanjiu answered hastily. Suddenly, her legs gave way, and she fell to the ground. The muffled thud seemed to have caused the guards outside to pause for a moment.
"Why are you asking this?" Wei Xing was a little suspicious. "Do you want to use a special item in exchange for me letting you out?"
Lin Sanjiu panted and trembled. Her [Defense Forcefield] flickered on her skin as if it would be snuffed out at any moment.
Now, when she spoke, she could even feel wisps of gas threatening to flow through her lips and throat into her body. This meant that the protective layer of the [Defense Forcefield] was getting weaker and weaker, and the corrosion was getting more and more severe. All she could do was press her lips together and speak in a muffled voice, "You … Just take it as what I mean … So, will you agree?"
"I did lose a lot of my special items," Wei Xing continued, "but I should be able to get them all back. So … even if you want to, I won't let you out. "
'Hold on a little longer. Hold on until I figure out what I need to figure out. Then, I can definitely get out …'
Lin Sanjiu actually fell two to three times just to pick herself up from the ground before she finally succeeded. When she stumbled to the door, she looked through the window and saw that Wei Xing's blurry figure had gone further away. She gritted her teeth and punched the window again, "Hey!"
This time, Wei Xing seemed to have made up his mind. No matter what she did or said, he wouldn't look back.
She didn't have a suitable Special Item to open the door. No matter how slim the hope was, she had to admit that the chances of getting out were very high. She couldn't bear the cost of letting Wei Xing leave.
"My … My tent … only works if you don't have more than two Special Items on you …" Lin Sanjiu leaned against the door. Her legs were trembling, and she continued, "You went in, and the tent worked … This means that you only have two Special Items on you at that time."
"You lasted longer than I expected." Wei Xing's figure paused and turned around slightly. "So what?"
This didn't mean anything, but Lin Sanjiu had to find a topic to catch Wei Xing's attention and make her stop.
"You can walk without a cane, right?" Lin Sanjiu's panting threatened to interrupt her, but she forced herself to get to the point, "You don't have a cane right now."
If Wei Xing had to rely on a cane to walk, how could she follow behind the red-faced man without making a sound?
"That's because my feet are intact. In fact, I'm intact from the inside out, "Wei Xing said calmly," You can't see my right foot because of my ability. "
Lin Sanjiu recalled her ability to create illusions in front of people with just a grasp of her palm. It seemed like it could be used in different ways, just like many other abilities.
"But, so what?" Wei Xing continued to ask.
Lin Sanjiu remembered that when she dragged Wei Xing into the tent, her cane happened to fall on the counter. Initially, she was worried that Wei Xing had stored most of her Special Items in her cane. That was why she could be dragged into the tent so smoothly. But now, that possibility had been eliminated.
Since Wei Xing wasn't using her cane now, it meant that her cane wasn't a storage item. After all, a storage item couldn't store itself.
In other words, she had at most two Special Items on her. She might not even have two Special Items on her. If that was the case, it would be a matter of life and death whether she had a storage item among her Special Items.
"Do you have a storage item on you?"
The weight of this question was too heavy. Lin Sanjiu tried her best to control herself, but she still felt that her trembling voice might have already revealed her intention. She was afraid that this question would make Wei Xing understand immediately and ruin all her plans. She had no other way. She was betting everything on this possibility.
Wei Xing was obviously stunned.
"No." Just when Lin Sanjiu thought that Wei Xing wouldn't answer her, she heard the two words that sounded like a fairy.
"No!"
Lin Sanjiu squinted her eyes and looked through the window. The X-ray machine was still sitting on the same spot, blocking the door. From her limited field of vision, there seemed to be no one else in the laboratory.
Wei Xing seemed a little surprised that Lin Sanjiu would answer his question so obediently. Then, she sighed, "If you didn't give me that thing, I would have turned around and left. Ever since I entered this world, this is the first time I met someone who sincerely wanted to help me. At that time, I changed my mind. I felt that it wasn't a bad thing that I couldn't trick you into coming in … But I didn't expect that when I sent the last person in, you would come out and stand by the door. "
"I couldn't resist the temptation," she said slowly, "because I waited for too long."
That was enough.
What Lin Sanjiu wanted to confirm had already been tactfully confirmed by what Wei Xing said just now. Now, she only hoped that Wei Xing would stop thinking too deeply about what she said.
She didn't say a word. She used all her strength to turn around and pounce on the red-faced man. The [Planar World] was like a TV with a bad signal. It was intermittent and flickering, but it still carried out its mission. In the blink of an eye, Lin Sanjiu had searched through the red-faced man's clothes, jewelry, belt, and pants. She had reached the maximum number of items she could convert for the day, so she couldn't convert any more cards. Therefore, everything she had searched through was left on the red-faced man.
However, the items that had been converted into cards in the past were not included in this list.
"Please, please," Lin Sanjiu muttered to herself as she searched quickly. "You looked so sinister at that time. You must have the confidence to suppress Wei Xing, right? Don't tell me that you're just an empty shell … "
When she put her hand into the red-faced man's trouser pocket, Wei Xing gasped softly from outside the door.
Wei Xing finally understood.
Her footsteps could be heard rushing toward the door again. At the same time, Lin Sanjiu ran as fast as she could. She knew very well that she only had one last chance. If she guessed the situation wrongly, or if she didn't succeed before the gas completely invaded her body, she and Hei Zeji would never be able to get out of this place. They would stay together forever in this hospital in some unknown part of the world. With the black hole on their faces, they would wander the dark corridors.
She forced herself to reexamine the chain of inferences, conjectures, and facts.
The moment she stuffed the artist into the net, she had already deactivated his card. There were two people in the net. Wei Xing didn't have any storage items. Wei Xing was under the control of the red-faced man. The red-faced man would definitely want Wei Xing's organs. The red-faced man would definitely open the net.
In other words, the red-faced man would definitely find the artist.
When a card suddenly bumped into her palm, she had a momentary illusion that the card was her dog that had finally found its way home after being lost for a long time. Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but let out a low moan from her throat. Her body was trembling from the lingering fear and joy. She swung her arm, and the artist fell to the ground with a thud. He was still holding the canvas and brush bucket in his arms. He looked as bewildered as ever.
"Door," Lin Sanjiu whispered with the last of her strength, "Don't draw a door!"
