At that moment, Lin Sanjiu's heart was burning with hope. She couldn't hold back her hope and hope. Even though she knew it was impossible, she still turned her head and stared at Bohemia, "Are you —"
"What?" Bohemia widened her eyes. She looked very confused.
The question "Are you planning to use the NPC to throw the item out?" was stuck in Lin Sanjiu's throat. Regardless of who was the one who threw the item, as long as she thought that someone might have thrown [The Mountains That Removes The Foolish Old Man] out, [The Mountains That Removes The Foolish Old Man] wouldn't work. Moreover, Bohemia didn't know about all the twists and turns in the game, so there was no reason for her to go around in circles and let the NPC throw it out.
Lin Sanjiu could feel the light in her eyes dimming. Lin Sanjiu would rather be stabbed than suffer the torment of disappointment and hope. She pressed her finger against the corner of her eye, feeling the faint pain coming from the depths of her skull. She asked in a low voice, "You … You really didn't give that Special Item to the NPC?"
"No, why would I give it to him?" Bohemia lowered her head and put her hand into the pockets of her layers of clothes. "It's still with me. Do you want to take it back? Oh, it's here. "
When Lin Sanjiu heard the word "here", she felt all the energy draining out of her body. At that moment, she was at a loss. She had no idea what she was doing, and she had no idea what she was doing. All she wanted now was to find a dark place to curl up and close her eyes. When she woke up again, she might find out that everything was just a dream.
The alarm stopped ringing at that moment. Before the next alarm rang, Lin Sanjiu's ears, which had been tortured for a long time, finally found some peace.
Lin Sanjiu turned toward the Props.
The door was ajar, and the visibility was very poor. She couldn't see anything clearly. The next alarm drowned the entire basement of the hospital, muffling the footsteps of the guards in the distance. Clenching her fists, Lin Sanjiu suddenly realized that Bohemia still had not given her the [The Mountains Remove The Foolish Old Man] after she finished her sentence.
She felt a hand slide over and gently grab her wrist. The fingertips were small and cold.
"The fat man woke up in pain," whispered Bohemia. "... Do you want to go and see him?"
Why was she looking at him?
After that, he was pushed seven or eight steps to the tool room. It was like a dream, and he would never reach the end. Lin Sanjiu patiently walked step by step … After what felt like a century, she finally reached the entrance of the Tool Room. She still had no idea what was going on. She did not even know why Bohemia would bring her back to the tool room. In her confusion, she could only remember one thing: Bohemia did not give her the [The Mountains Remove The Foolish Old Man].
"We need to move faster," Bohemia whispered. She pushed Lin Sanjiu into the tool room and closed the door behind her. Then, she locked the door with a click. "A group of guards passed by just now. Fortunately, they did not look in this direction. But, we might not be so lucky next time."
Lin Sanjiu's gaze fell on the fat man first.
The man who had lost both his legs was lying limply in the corner of the wall. His eyes were open, and his breathing was shallow and short. His hands were spread out where his knees used to be. One of his palms was charred and the flesh on it was torn open.
"What happened?" Lin Sanjiu looked at the NPC, but she did not turn her head to look at Hei Zeji. Her eyes were constantly avoiding the other half of the tool room.
"I wrapped the stone hill with a layer of paper," Bohemia pointed at the NPC. "Then, I sprinkled a layer of fire-making powder on it. Then, I put it in his hand. Oh, that's what we use for cooking in the Twelve Worlds Centrum. If you sprinkle a layer of it on a piece of wood, it will start burning … "
"I … I don't understand."
"Why don't you turn around and have a look?" Bohemia did not wait for Lin Sanjiu to respond. She pressed her palm on the back of Lin Sanjiu's head and forced her to turn her head to the spot where Hei Zeji was lying.
Lin Sanjiu suspected that everything she had just done was just a placebo in her desperate imagination.
[The Mountains Remove The Foolish Old Man] was still in the shape of a small hill. It lay beside one of Hei Zeji's hands amidst a small pile of charred wood. Hei Zeji's hand was no longer a skinny twig. His flesh and bones had become smooth and smooth. Lin Sanjiu could even see the white scars on his fingers. Lin Sanjiu had never noticed that Hei Zeji's knuckles were so clear and hard. She could even imagine the scene when he pressed his knuckles into his skin.
Then, Lin Sanjiu's index finger trembled slightly.
"This fat man is still useful," Bohemia's voice continued to explain, "I thought he would wake up from the pain if his hand was on fire. When he wakes up from the pain, he will definitely throw the burning thing out..."
Lin Sanjiu did not hear what Bohemia said.
She had already lunged forward and knelt beside Hei Zeji. She lowered her head and examined the wound on his laryngeal bone. Sure enough, the situation had been reversed. The bones under his skin and his laryngeal bone seemed to be healing bit by bit. Finally, air could flow into his mouth and nose again. His chest, which was as still as a pool of stagnant water, began to rise and fall imperceptibly.
"Why …" Lin Sanjiu turned around and looked at Bohemia. For a moment, she didn't even know how to put the doubts in her mind into words, "Why did you …"
Even in such a dim underground, Lin Sanjiu could not hide the gleam of pride on Bohemia's face.
"I did a good job, didn't I? Your goal was to throw that Special Item out, right? But I don't know why, but you seemed to be afraid of letting me know about it … When I was hiding behind Hei Zeji just now, I realized that you had arranged for me to throw the Special Item out, and you came in. So, regardless of whether I threw it or not, when I threw it, you already knew about it. If I thought about it in this way, I realized that your original plan might not work! I'm a smarter person than you. If I wanted to maintain your plan and make it work, I had to lie to you. I had to make you think that the Special Item was still in my hand and I didn't throw it away. That was the only way … Oh my god, how could he still be alive! "
Lin Sanjiu burst into laughter when she heard Bohemia's exclamation. With the hospital alarm as a cover, Lin Sanjiu almost couldn't control her laughter. She fell to the ground beside Hei Zeji, whose breathing had gradually stabilized. Tears trickled down from the corner of her eyes.
