If Lin Sanjiu had to summarize her life experience in this apocalyptic world, it would be that no matter what she wanted to do, it would never go smoothly. However, she did not expect that in the next few hours, this iron rule would be broken.
At first, she and Bohemia tried to use the most old-fashioned method. They asked themselves, "If I am a posthuman who needs to hide from the guards, where should I hide so that the guards won't search for me?" The two of them huddled together and thought for a long time. Suddenly, Bohemia slapped Lin Sanjiu's back, "Isn't it this tool room? Aren't we posthuman who need to hide from the guards? "
"Let's try to think of another place," Lin Sanjiu coughed a few times and looked at the NPC, "Small and inconspicuous …"
The NPC shook his head, "Don't count on me. I don't know. Look at my body. You should know that I'm not fated with small spaces. "
"Do we have to go out and search everywhere?"
Just as the thought crossed her mind, Hei Zeji, who was in the corner of the room, suddenly opened his eyes. Apparently, he was a person who knew how to rest. When he closed his eyes, he looked as if he was dead. Therefore, every time he opened his mouth, he would scare them, "Don't talk first."
"What?" She wouldn't be Bohemia if she listened after she said it.
"Just shut up when I tell you to."
Even though Lin Sanjiu didn't know why, she still held Bohemia's hand and gestured for her to quiet down with her. The tool room quickly fell into a dead silence. Even the sound of their breathing was suppressed. Lin Sanjiu and Hei Zeji's hypersensory came from the same source, so she could vaguely feel it. It was an indescribable feeling. It was as if a pair of green eyes of an owl had suddenly lit up in the darkness.
She also activated her hypersensory, and the presence of the people in the tool room became very clear. It was so strong that it was as if they were imprinted on the neural network. However, other than that, there was nothing else. There was no breathing, heartbeat, or the sound of skin rubbing against cloth.
"You didn't hear anything, right?" Hei Zeji asked softly.
Lin Sanjiu shook her head.
"Do you see the ventilation fan?" He looked at the corner of the ceiling.
The ventilation fan was only the size of a human head. The white sheet was covered in layers of thick dust. The color was so dirty that it was no different from the ceiling itself. A piece of cloth tied to the sheet hung in the air, frozen.
"What's wrong with the ventilation fan?" Bohemia asked. Up until now, she had not received any warm thank-you gifts, so she always spoke with a hint of resentment.
"Why is there a ventilation fan in the place where the tools are kept?" In the darkness, Hei Zeji's eyes lit up like an eagle that had spotted its prey.
Rather than calling it a tool room, it was more like a cupboard. It wasn't meant for people to use. After 3.5 people squeezed into the cupboard, even things like buckets and mops were squeezed into the NPC's arms, Lin Sanjiu sprang to her feet. She stared at the ventilator and said, "That's impossible … Other than us, there's no one else here."
"I didn't hear it either," Hei Zeji said unexpectedly, "but you can't listen with your ears."
"Then what should I use?"
"Close your eyes," Hei Zeji whispered, "Imagine that you are in an unfamiliar dark room. You can't see or hear anything. Then, open your pure sense to the inside. If we are the furniture in this room … Can you feel where the furniture is? "
Lin Sanjiu covered her ears. After a long time, she finally nodded hesitantly. The feeling was faint and intermittent, as if it was a figment of her imagination. It was a vague feeling that the space around her was occupied by something else. If the universe was a membrane, then this tool room was like a mini universe. On this membrane, the existence and weight of a few people were like planets pressing into the membrane, occupying and distorting the space around them.
"I … feel it," Lin Sanjiu murmured with her eyes still closed and her ears still pressed down, "Bohemia … Is that you? You moved it, right? "
Bohemia mumbled, "He asked me to move it."
"And …" Lin Sanjiu opened her eyes and slowly put down her hands. She stared at the ventilation fan and said, "There is also a piece of 'furniture' on top of it."
Hei Zeji didn't say anything. His lips curled into a smile.
At that moment, as if someone had pressed the ventilation fan into water, the color and shape of the fan rapidly expanded and melted, seeping into the ceiling and disappearing without a trace. From the ceiling, where the ventilation fan was supposed to be, a shadow fell out. Then, like a swing, the shadow drew an arc in the air and pounced towards the door. The speed of the shadow was so fast that it should be able to get out of the door if everything went according to plan. Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Little did he know that Bohemia had been waiting for him at the door under Hei Zeji's instruction. When she saw a shadow charging at her from the air, she let out a cry of surprise and threw a wooden bird at the shadow.
Lin Sanjiu's reaction was indeed very fast. She threw herself to the ground and dodged the wooden bird that was flying in the air. Even though she managed to dodge in time, her back was still struck by the wooden bird's wing.
She rolled over and jumped up, almost stepping on the NPC's thigh. The wooden bird followed closely behind Lin Sanjiu and continued to expand until there was no more room for it to expand. It landed on the spot where Lin Sanjiu had been lying. It hugged a man tightly in its wings, and its body filled the entire tool room. Everyone was pushed, pressed, and pressed against the wall. As for plastic cleaning tools such as buckets, they had long been broken into pieces.
"Why did you use such a big Special Item in such a narrow space?" Lin Sanjiu grumbled in a low voice.
The wooden bird blocked her view of Bohemia. She could not see Bohemia at all. All she could see was the wooden bird's head, which was as big as a small refrigerator, and the intricately carved feather patterns on its head. It leaned its head on the shoulder of the man in its arms and pressed him into its chest with its wings. A loving expression appeared on its face.
"Don't you want to catch him?" Bohemia found it hard to breathe, but it didn't mean that she had nothing to say. "Tell me, did I catch him?"
"… What the hell is this?"
"This is maternal love," Bohemia retorted. "You know nothing."
When they finally freed the red-faced woman from her motherly love, the latter looked like she was no longer a human. Speaking of which, he was really unlucky. One of his abilities allowed him to blend into solid objects like walls, ceilings, and mattresses. Not only could he completely conceal his biological features, but he could also create a reasonable illusion of his body traces on the surface, such as a ventilation fan on the ceiling or a stain on the mattress. He found an inconspicuous tool room that was suitable for hiding, but he did not dare to be completely at ease, so he found a way to climb up to the ceiling and buried himself in the ceiling, only changing the marks on top of his head into a ventilation fan. Who would have thought that right after they hid, Lin Sanjiu would walk in with Fatso on her shoulder and two other people. She seemed to be familiar with the place.
"We meet again," Lin Sanjiu looked at the red-faced man and noticed that he had recovered well. There were no side effects of being a guard anymore. "Do you still remember me?"
"You took my stuff." Ever since the red-faced man entered the game, he had lost many of his combat items. He was no longer the same as before. Especially after he glanced at Hei Zeji, his tone became much more polite. "Do you still want me to become a Gamer's guide?"
The three of them were stunned.
Things were going so smoothly that Lin Sanjiu started to feel suspicious. "Did you hear that?"
"Yes, this guy is an NPC, right?" The red-faced man raised his chin at Fatso, "Even though I don't know why he helped you, he is right. As a gamer, I know how to earn Hidden Points. "
As soon as he finished speaking, a smile appeared on his face. The red paint had dried and crumbled on the wrinkles of his skin. Anyone who saw the look on his face knew that he would not answer, even if they asked him.
Bohemia suddenly raised her head and sniffed like a rabbit trying to smell if it was going to rain.
"He smells like perfume," she muttered, following the scent to the red-faced man. "You are ugly and tasteless, so why do you wear perfume?"
Lin Sanjiu sniffed as well. She suddenly understood, "You saw Wei Xing just now?"
Not only did they see each other, they must have been in close contact before. That was why the red-faced man would smell perfume.
The red-faced man opened and closed his mouth a few times. In the end, he said reluctantly, "This is a personal grudge between me and her … It has nothing to do with this."
"Where is she?"
Before the red-faced man could say anything, Bohemia spoke first. Her current appearance reminded Lin Sanjiu of a drug-sniffing dog, "The perfume really smells like it was sprayed on him … Are you sure it was done by that woman? Maybe this guy is actually a very ambitious person. "
"Wei Xing is with you?" Lin Sanjiu blurted out, but she quickly realized that something was wrong. She had taken all the red-faced man's Special Items, so there was no way he could hide a living person … But, where was the net?
"When you entered the lab, you were holding a long pole in your hand. It fell to the ground with you," she stared at the red-faced man and spoke faster, "When I sucked you out of the lab, I didn't even look at it. What, did you think of a way to get it after you came out? What is that thing used for? "
"I told you, she has nothing to do with this." The red-faced man hesitated for two seconds, "You are not her friend, I know …"
"Cut the crap. Is Wei Xing in your hand?"
After pausing for a moment, the red-faced man slowly reached his hand into his bosom. The moment he moved, Hei Zeji, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head. The red-faced man's hand trembled, and the object that he had just taken out from his bosom fell to the ground with a clatter. The object unraveled bit by bit and turned into a long pole that rolled on the ground a few times.
"This is my Swiss Army Pole," he said reluctantly, "One pole, but it has many uses …"
One of them was to open a large net from the pole and turn it into a large bug trap. As soon as the bulging bug trap was opened, Wei Xing tumbled out. Before she could stand up and take a good look at her surroundings, she raised her hand and said, "Don't believe him! I'm the gamer!"
'Why is there another one? '
They were on the ceiling just now, so it was obvious that they had heard their conversation. But why did they all want to be Gamer?
"The population density in this tool room is too high," Bohemia complained. She looked at Wei Xing carefully and turned her head to Lin Sanjiu, "I don't think you have the right standards for a beautiful woman."
"What?"
"I was wondering why you never praised me for my beauty. So, it turns out that you like my ordinary looks. "
'Ordinary? '
Lin Sanjiu couldn't stand it anymore. Even though she knew that it was an insignificant detail, she still grabbed Wei Xing with her right hand that was wrapped in a metal gauntlet. When their eyes met, she was stunned as well.
Her facial features, hair color, figure, face shape, and even the accessories on her skin remained the same. No matter who saw her, they would think that this was Wei Xing. However, the breathtaking "beauty" on Wei Xing had disappeared like a dim light.
"I'm really a gamer," Lin Sanjiu didn't seem to notice the changes on her body. She said anxiously and embarrassedly, "Otherwise, how would I know that I can work with an NPC? Of course, I'm sorry for what happened that time … But I'm glad that you didn't become a guard … "
Lin Sanjiu didn't want to hear a single word from her. Seeing that even the red-faced man was about to open his mouth, Lin Sanjiu waved her hand and both of them shut their mouths. While Lin Sanjiu was deep in thought, the tool room was plunged into silence.
Just as she was distracted by her thoughts, someone approached the other side of the door quietly. Then, a hand knocked on the door of the tool room.
Lin Sanjiu jolted out of her thoughts. She turned around abruptly and looked at Hei Zeji. The latter's face immediately turned sour, "Why are you looking at me? Do I look like your guard dog? "
"Erm …" the person outside the door said in a low voice, "Can you let me in? I was hiding nearby just now … I heard you guys saying that you were looking for a gamer. To tell you the truth, I'm a gamer … "
