Oh, are you really not interested? "
When the afternoon sun shone into the penthouse, Ren Nan turned around. His hair was dyed yellow by the sunlight. With his face hidden in the light, he said, "But if you play billiards with me a few more times, I'm sure you will like it. You see, the fascinating thing about it is that you are using something else to hit something else. You don't attack your target directly. You just use a force to manipulate something to achieve the effect you want. When you separate yourself from the attacker and the attacked, even if it's just two layers of separation, you can still ensure your own safety. "
Now that she thought about it, he didn't manage to do it.
"Hey," the NPC shouted angrily, pulling Lin Sanjiu back to her senses. She shifted her attention back to his plump chin, "Do you want to trade or not?"
She was standing about four to five steps away from the counter. She was discreetly observing the interior of the toll booth and the few guards. She nodded quickly when she heard the NPC's question. She didn't know if the NPC could recognize her from her voice, so she didn't want to speak unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Then, come over here!"
Lin Sanjiu nodded again and slowly made her way through the crowd.
The NPC was half a head taller than her, and his body was broad and muscular. When she got closer to him, she felt that she had been too optimistic. This NPC probably wouldn't be able to stop even if he weighed 200 pounds. Lin Sanjiu weighed the strength of her hands and clicked her tongue. There were two guards standing a few steps behind the NPC, one on the left and one on the right. Both of them looked like withered twigs. Compared to the NPC, it was a ghastly sight. If the NPC turned around, they would be squeezed against the wall and passed out. Together with the two guards standing in the middle, they formed an encirclement around the small, square-shaped toll booth. That way, no matter where Lin Sanjiu went, there would be at least two guards waiting for her.
The worst part was that they were all skinny and dressed in black. If Lin Sanjiu wasn't paying attention, they could blend into the shadows at the corners of her vision. However, Lin Sanjiu had an advantage. She had only been in direct contact with these guards for a short time, but she had never seen any of them use their evolved abilities.
"What do you want to change?" When she came to the counter, the fat man raised his little finger, stuck it into his ear, and scratched.
Looking at the fatty, Lin Sanjiu knew very well why she suddenly thought of Ren Nan. It was because she thought of "billiards" first.
She pretended to take something out of her pocket, and very slowly put her hand under the pale red robe with a row of tassels. This robe belonged to Bohemia, because she had a lot of clothes with wide sleeves, and it was most suitable to cover up her appearance.
The first question was, could she lift a man who weighed one kilogram with one hand?
Lin Sanjiu clenched her fingers inside the robe and pulled it off her head. Then, she swung it at the NPC behind the counter. The embroidery pattern unfurled along with the fabric. The tassels fluttered in the air. At that moment, the NPCs and the guards' eyes were blocked by a patch of red. While the robe was still fluttering in the air, Lin Sanjiu pushed herself off the counter with her left arm. She followed closely behind the fabric and flipped herself onto the counter.
The man, who was as fat as a hill, shuddered and wanted to step back, but the guards standing on both sides of him took a step forward and rushed towards her.
Lin Sanjiu didn't even look at the guards. Sitting on the counter, Lin Sanjiu stretched out her arms and grabbed Bohemia's light red robe again. She also grabbed the collar behind the robe, which was buried between the fat man's chin and chest.
Fortunately, she had observed his position earlier, so she was able to accurately grab his collar through a layer of cloth and through his roaring fat. The moment Lin Sanjiu pulled her hand back, the heavy mountain of flesh stumbled forward. Lin Sanjiu shrunk her body and curled up her slender limbs like a cat. She was instantly covered by the robe and the NPC's shadow. At that moment, the two guards' hands hit the NPC who was charging at them.
Without waiting for the fat man to regain his balance, Lin Sanjiu turned around and bumped into him again. Her right hand was still gripping his collar, and she used the momentum to throw him toward the guard on the right.
The answer to the first question was yes. Not only could she lift three to four hundred kilograms with one hand, but she could also hit the NPC like a billiard ball. If it weren't for the limited space in the toll booth and the fact that she hadn't fully recovered her combat power, it would have been more convenient for her to summon Oldman's corpse. However, the NPC was just as useful, as long as it didn't take too long.
"That's not a problem," Lin Sanjiu thought. She was going to rush into the side door of the toll booth in ten seconds.
The guard, who looked like a withered twig, immediately disappeared into the corner of the floor behind the mountain of flesh. Lin Sanjiu didn't need to turn her head to know that the guard on the left was charging at her. In front of her, the other two guards were about to reach her. Only then did the fat man in her right hand groan intermittently.
There were five people standing in such a small space. If Lin Sanjiu turned around, she might bump into one of them. How could she avoid this situation?
It would be too much for her to jump back to the counter. She didn't have the time to throw the fat man to the left and hit the guard on the left. Instead, she kicked the counter and pounced at the fat man like a bullet.
When she curled up her body in mid-air, a dark brown, withered palm just happened to sweep past her back. Lin Sanjiu pulled the NPC's collar with her right hand and pushed him down. Then, she let go of him and somersaulted like a wheel, landing on top of him. Her back scraped against the ceiling, and she felt a burning sensation on her skin.
When she landed on the ground and grabbed the back of the NPC's neck with her right hand, the three guards finally realized that she had jumped out of their encirclement. Lin Sanjiu quickly lifted the screaming NPC up again. When the three guards turned around and charged at her again, Lin Sanjiu pushed the plump NPC away and sent him flying like a billiard ball. He crashed into another two guards, knocking them to the ground.
"Ouch!"
That was the only word that came to the man's mind. He spread his limbs and fell to the ground. Ever since his vision was obscured by the light red robe, he could not find his footing properly. Lin Sanjiu kept swaying from side to side. The third guard jumped out of the way just in time and dodged the fat man. He raised his hand and tried to grab Lin Sanjiu's face.
Once the fat man was gone, Lin Sanjiu lost her confidence. Lin Sanjiu quickly bent her waist. When she was only a few centimeters away from the NPC, she ducked under the guard's arm and grabbed the back of the NPC's neck. The guard must have turned around now. Lin Sanjiu did not have the time to look back. She rolled on the floor and pulled the fat man in front of her. The guard whipped him again.
"It's me!" he howled.
Lin Sanjiu dragged the mountain of flesh that weighed about three to four hundred pounds and jumped up again. She placed the fat man between her and the guards. The guards who were knocked down by Lin Sanjiu got up one by one. This was different from a billiard ball. She couldn't hit them into the net and make them unable to get out.
So … the second question was, could she carry a man who weighed about three to four hundred pounds and perform a lion dance in such a small space?
Lin Sanjiu decided to give it a try.
She pressed her back against the wall in the corner. The side door leading to the ground floor was on the opposite wall. It was only about ten steps away from her, but it was blocked by two guards. The other two guards stood in front of her, waiting for her to reveal an opening so that they could pounce on her.
Lin Sanjiu stood on her tiptoes and wrapped her left arm around the NPC's neck. She tore a hole in the back of his shirt with her right hand. Then, she switched to her other hand and stuck her left arm through the hole in the NPC's shirt collar.
"Hey, hey, don't do this —" The NPC realized what she was going to do first. But before he could finish his sentence, Lin Sanjiu's right hand had already reached down and grabbed his calf.
"Who asked you to have such a large surface area?" Lin Sanjiu chuckled in a breathy voice.
In the next second, as the NPC let out an uncontrollable scream, the fat man was lifted horizontally. Lin Sanjiu carried him on her shoulder and bent her back. She spun forward like a spinning top. The two-meter tall mountain of flesh turned into a wide, heavy shadow in the toll booth. The hanging telephone was smashed, the hanging fan blades were smashed, and the chairs were knocked into the air. Along with them, the guards who surrounded her were also sent flying.
Lin Sanjiu only wanted to rush through the door. So when one guard hit the counter, another hit the wall, and another fell by the door, she did not attack. Instead, she shouldered the mountain of flesh and rushed to the side door of the cashier's office in a few steps. At that moment, the last guard in front of the door immediately crouched down, stretched out his arm, and attacked her calf.
She could not retreat. She was not willing to retreat. Gritting her teeth, Lin Sanjiu loosened her grip and threw the mountain of flesh at the guard. With a dull thud, the guard was pinned under the NPC. However, she was still a step too late.
The guard disappeared under the mountain of flesh, but a withered hand reached out from under the NPC's belly and scratched Lin Sanjiu's ankle. All her strength left her in an instant. Her vision spun, and she fell to the ground. A low cry of surprise came from somewhere outside the toll booth.
Lin Sanjiu could not hear anything now. All her attention was focused on what was happening in front of her.
Fortunately, when she fell to the ground, her ankle was separated from the hand's fingers. She regained her strength. Seeing that the other three guards were struggling to regain their balance, she leaped up and threw herself at the side door of the toll booth. Without touching them, she knocked all the guards away. The side door was empty, waiting for her to open it.
The next few moments happened so fast that she did not even realize it. Her fingers gripped the doorknob tightly. With a twist and a pull, half of the door was pulled open. Lin Sanjiu dodged sideways and disappeared into the darkness behind the door. From the corner of her eyes, she saw a few guards walking toward her.
The door closed behind her with a thud. Lin Sanjiu stopped moving for a moment.
"F * ck."
Lin Sanjiu's eyes had not adjusted to the darkness in front of her, and her fingers were still on the doorknob. Lin Sanjiu cursed under her breath and immediately turned around. She listened for the footsteps outside and used all her strength to push open the side door. The guard who was the fastest had just arrived at the door. He did not expect Lin Sanjiu to suddenly open the door after she had entered the room. Lin Sanjiu was hit so hard that she stepped on the NPC's leg and fell.
Lin Sanjiu poked her head out and looked around. She was furious, "Didn't you leave?!"
"Didn't I see you fall just now?!" Outside the counter, a blonde woman with half of her face covered by a veil was climbing up the counter eagerly. She placed one of her legs on the edge of the counter and said angrily, "I thought you were done for!"
In the time it took to say that, other than the guard who was pressed down by the NPC and unable to move, the other three guards came over like ghosts. Lin Sanjiu immediately closed the door and opened it again when their footsteps came closer. She used the same trick and knocked them down. She squatted down and grabbed the NPC's right ankle. Without raising her head, she shouted, "Can't you see that I'm not done for?!"
Bohemia froze on the counter. She did not know what to do. "Huh? Oh, then … I'll go back now? "
As the NPC screamed in fear, Lin Sanjiu quickly dragged him into the door. She did not know if holding the NPC would help her, but at least she could stop the guards from pouncing on her like zombies. "If you didn't come, I would have gone down a long time ago!"
"Hey, you're such an ungrateful person," Bohemia said with one foot still on the counter. "I saw that you were in danger just now, so I was hesitating whether or not I should come and save you. Who knew that you would get up on your own again... I thought that it would be hypocritical of me if I turned around and left now that you were fine. So, I finally made up my mind to help you. Why are you still talking to me like that?! "
While Bohemia was talking, Lin Sanjiu used the door and the NPC to fend off the guards' attacks as if she was playing billiards. Never in her wildest dreams did she expect that she would have the same idea as Ren Nan one day.
However, whether it was lion dance or billiards, Lin Sanjiu couldn't hold on forever. Every movement she made now was as dangerous as walking on a tightrope. Sometimes, the guards' fingers and bodies brushed past her skin. There were even a few moments where she felt dizzy even though she did not lose any of her stamina. In such a desperate situation, Lin Sanjiu couldn't care less about her tone, "Are you coming in or going out? Hurry up!"
"This is how you treat your grandmother," Bohemia grumbled as she jumped behind the counter. The two guards immediately turned to look at her. "Why are you guys looking at me? Look at her —"
Lin Sanjiu sighed. She kicked the NPC in the back and sent him flying through the gap between the door and the door. By now, the guards had learned their lesson. It was getting harder and harder to hit the NPC. Before the fat man could reach them, they all turned around and ran away. Seizing the opportunity, Lin Sanjiu yelled at Bohemia, "Now! Quick!"
Bohemia was talkative, but her movements weren't slow. Before Lin Sanjiu could finish her words, she had already closed half the distance between them. Unexpectedly, the NPC who had been used as a shield suddenly turned vicious. With a roar, he rolled on the ground and reached out to grab Bohemia, "I'll remember you!"
He was lying motionlessly beside Bohemia's feet. No one expected that he would suddenly launch an attack. Bohemia was too focused on dodging the guards, so the NPC grabbed one of her legs. The rest of the guards turned around and lunged at Lin Sanjiu like sharks that had smelled a scent.
"Who is here to save whom?"
Lin Sanjiu grumbled inwardly. Then, she raised her hand and threw out a large mass of amber light.
It was the amber light that trapped Hei Zeji when he was tricked. Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to use it just now because the place was too small. She was afraid that when it trapped the guards, it would also restrict her movements. Now that half of her body was behind the door, she had nothing to worry about anymore. Bohemia and the NPC were instantly enveloped by the amber light, turning them into motionless insects.
As the NPC was fat and huge, his body alone was far larger than Hei Zeji's. After the two of them were enveloped by the light, it was difficult for them to float up from the ground. The fat man's legs were still dangling from the light. Gritting her teeth, Lin Sanjiu threw out the strand of Higher Consciousness that she had just recovered. She "bit" the amber light and dragged it toward the door with all her might.
The amber light that trapped Bohemia was the first to enter the door. However, as her Higher Consciousness froze, the amber light stopped moving. Lin Sanjiu looked out through the dim yellowish-brown light and saw two guards standing on the other side of the amber light. They were holding the NPC's legs tightly.
At this point, she couldn't let the NPC go.
Using all of her Higher Consciousness, Lin Sanjiu pulled the amber light back with all her might. The two guards were dragged to the side of the door. She was already prepared, and a long knife appeared in her right hand. She swung the knife in the air. When the door was slammed shut, the two broken legs of the NPC were also locked on the other side of the door.
