Lin Sanjiu was filled with regret.
Now that she thought about it, she realized that she had learned a lot from Hei Zeji. For example, hypersensory, air vortex, and her perception of space … However, she shouldn't have learned it so quickly. Hei Zeji obviously had an unrealistic expectation of her learning ability. When he glanced at the corridor, his expression clearly showed that he felt that the matter was over and that there was nothing more to be said. All that was left was to wait for Lin Sanjiu and the others to do the same thing to him.
As for whether Bohemia and the NPC could do it or not, he had never considered it.
"Why is he behaving like that?" Bohemia's angry voice rang beside Lin Sanjiu's ear. "Why does he look like he's encouraging someone? Who is he trying to encourage? "
Hei Zeji tilted his body and dodged an arm that was swinging at him from behind. Now was not the time for him to speak. If he continued, the guards would suspect him. Lin Sanjiu watched as he turned the doorknob, and the words "Wait!" almost burst out of her throat. Then, Hei Zeji opened the door and disappeared behind the door of the "Pocket Dimension Engine".
"He really went in by himself," Bohemia muttered. "I can't believe it …"
"Keep an eye on him," Lin Sanjiu patted Bohemia's shoulder and took two steps back. She grabbed Fatty's collar and said, "He went in alone! What's in the room? What's going to happen next? "
"Lower your voice," the NPC was sweating profusely, but there was a smile on his face. "Don't let them hear you. There's no danger in the room. It's a good thing that he went in alone. "
Before Lin Sanjiu answered, she turned her head and looked at the corner of the corridor. Instinctively, she thought that she would see a group of guards running out of the corner, shouting and yelling. However, to her surprise, a few seconds had passed since Hei Zeji went in, and not a single one of them came out from the corner to warn them.
"We are all like programmed programs. We have our own responsibilities and activities," the NPC explained hurriedly. "The guards can't enter the dungeon's engine, but they have to catch the intruders … When these two conditions conflict, they will fall into chaos. Isn't this a great opportunity for us?"
"They seem to be panicking," Bohemia turned her head. "They are like a bunch of headless flies. They don't even know where to put their hands … Come and see!"
When Lin Sanjiu rushed over to take a look, she understood what the NPC meant. To say that the guards were like a bunch of crashed computer programs would be a little understating of their humanness. But they were all suddenly out of ideas. Some of them stood still, some of them paced back and forth, some of them stuck their twig-like hands in their hair. "What do we do?" and the like were all over the place.
"Let's find a place and wait," the NPC dragged his body across the ground. "I have no idea what they will do after they fall into chaos."
"There is an office nearby. I don't think they will search the office now," Lin Sanjiu quickly made up her mind and scooped Fatty up. Bohemia was already ready to leave, so she didn't forget to grab Wei Xing along with her. She looked around and saw that the red-faced man was still standing not far away. He looked as if he wanted to run away, but at the same time, he didn't want to. She ordered, "Follow me!"
Just when they were about to move, a guard in the corridor suddenly stopped. He clapped his hands and said, "Listen to me!"
Everyone, including the few people hiding behind the corner, turned to look at the guard who spoke.
"He has entered the room, so he will definitely come out. We will split half of our men and stay at the door. We will not go anywhere. " The man was different from the other guards. There was a dark hole in the lower part of his head. "As for the others … Search the area. There is more than one intruder. Let's find his accomplices first!"
The so-called "benefit" that the NPC mentioned did not last more than a minute. After all, they were all posthumans, so they wouldn't have a "program crash" so easily. Lin Sanjiu cursed inwardly. She pulled Bohemia along and ran in the direction they came from. "You go back to the tool room first! Wei Xing, follow me! "
"What about you?"
"I will find a way to lure them away from the corridor. The fewer people there are at the door, the more likely I will be able to get in," Lin Sanjiu said hurriedly. She lifted the NPC who was about to fall off her shoulder and said, "They are coming out soon. Go!"
"You are going to lead them away by yourself?" Bohemia stopped. "You have to lure the guards away? Can you do it? "
Lin Sanjiu knew very well what she should say to make the NPC leave without hesitation. "I don't need to look after you."
"Screw you," Bohemia turned and walked away. "I will collect your corpse later."
The red-faced NPC did not hesitate this time. He chose to follow Bohemia immediately. Seeing that the two of them had gone to the safer tool room, Lin Sanjiu did not dare to waste any more time. She raised her hand and created a vortex in the air. Then, she threw the vortex in the opposite direction of the corridor. With a loud bang, the wall immediately cracked and caved in. Dust and debris surged up from afar, as if it had awakened some huge creature in the darkness. The echo reverberated all the way to the corridor.
By the time the guards followed the sound, Lin Sanjiu was already far away. She carried a living map on her back. As long as she told the NPC her intention, he would quickly point her in the right direction. As for Wei Xing, he seemed to know that the situation was urgent, so he followed closely behind her without saying a word.
"They won't be lured away for long," the NPC warned. "When they find that there is no one there, they will come back. What are you going to do then?"
"Do you have to cut the steak open when you eat it?" Lin Sanjiu asked without answering the NPC's question. "You can't just swallow it in one gulp, right?"
She could feel the NPC's gaze on her. It was as if he was questioning her sanity. Before the NPC could speak, Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath and smiled. "Don't you want to eat this pocket dimension? Let me help you cut it into small pieces. "
The walls, corridors, and ceilings in the basement of the hospital could all be broken. Coincidentally, Lin Sanjiu was an expert in demolishing things with her bare hands.
Even though the [Tornado Whip] was taken away by the hospital as collateral, she still had the metal gloves, the container, and the vortex. Under the NPC's guidance, she ran and released a few false sounds along the way. Sure enough, she led the guards to the place she wanted them to go: the end of the basement.
Lin Sanjiu turned around and ran back before she could see that they had really walked into a dead end. When she came to the junction of several corridors, which was the only way to turn back from the dead-end, she stopped.
"Stand further away," Lin Sanjiu said to Wei Xing without turning her head. "I don't want to accidentally kill you."
What came next was simple manual labor.
The basement of the hospital was lined with corridors, just like a rabbit hole that extended in all directions. The most effective way to catch a rabbit in a rabbit hole was to destroy the corridors and trap all the targets in one area. The most effective way to destroy the corridors was to break the ceiling.
After a few air vortexes, the ceiling could no longer support itself. It broke into several pieces with a loud cracking sound. One of the pieces crashed into the corridor that had no walls to support it, causing the floor to crack. Lin Sanjiu used the container as a means of attack. She repeatedly turned it into a card, then unturned it again. She rammed the container against the walls again and again. Lamps, wires, signs... all the small objects had been crushed into pieces. The walls could not stand up anymore and broke into pieces under the impact. A few minutes later, the entire corridor collapsed as if it had been hit by a strong earthquake, completely blocking the entrance and exit. Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Lin Sanjiu wiped the dust and sweat off her face. She waved at Wei Xing and grabbed the NPC again. Then, she rushed back to the "pocket dimension engine".
The collapsed corridor could not trap the group of guards forever, but the time they bought should be enough for her. On the way back, Lin Sanjiu saw another group of guards rushing toward her from afar. They must have been shocked by the earthquake. None of them noticed that their target had slid past them a few meters away.
The more people that rushed over to check out the situation, the fewer people would be guarding the entrance of the "Pocket Dimension Engine". Lin Sanjiu wished that she could bump into a few more teams. Unfortunately, she did not see the second team even after she returned to the corner.
"But there are still guards at the entrance," Wei Xing spoke for the first time, "How do you plan to get in?"
If the number of guards was reduced by half, maybe she could try Hei Zeji's method?
Lin Sanjiu was a little uncertain. As she pondered, she looked around quickly. There were at least ten guards left. They had learned their lesson and surrounded the entrance in a semicircle. It would be difficult for them to use their positions like Hei Zeji. Lin Sanjiu thought for a moment and put the NPC down. She ordered Wei Xing, "Carry him and walk over."
"Me?" Wei Xing's expression changed, "Even if my mission is to trick people into entering the lab, it doesn't mean that I have the permission to move freely. I can only stay here for thirty minutes every time. After that, I have to find the female NPC that we met before to bring me out again … I can't find her this time. I have already stayed here for more than thirty minutes! If I walk over like this, I will be caught. How are you going to get points from me then? "
"Cut the crap," Lin Sanjiu couldn't be bothered to explain to Wei Xing. She pushed Fatty to her side, "If I tell you to go over, just go over. I won't let you get caught."
"You just want us to distract them?" Wei Xing asked hesitantly.
"Don't you already know?"
Wei Xing was really a decisive and ruthless person. After weighing the situation in his heart, he immediately nodded. Not only did she make a quick decision, but she also quickly understood Lin Sanjiu's plan. She added, "You have to get to a suitable position before they catch me. You can only pull us in after you enter the door — "
"I really don't need you to teach me," Lin Sanjiu interrupted her, "Are you ready?"
Wei Xing replied nervously, "Yes."
Before she pushed Fatty out, Lin Sanjiu glanced at the corridor again. It was this one glance that caused her entire body to freeze.
She didn't notice it because the person was standing at the other end of the corridor and was hidden by a few guards. At this moment, he seemed a little uneasy. He paced back and forth, revealing half of his body from the shadows cast by the guards. Only then did Lin Sanjiu realize that there was a person standing beside the group of guards. Even though she was far away and her vision was dim, she could still recognize the face that was dotted with mottled red paint.
He wasn't alone.
He was holding a long pole in his hand. There was a large bug net hanging at the top of the pole. The net was bulging. Obviously, there was a person inside. At this moment, the surface of the net was undulating and twisting. However, no matter how hard the person inside struggled, not a single sound could be heard.
