Lin Sanjiu could feel Wei Xing squatting down quietly beside her.
"Believe it or not," the latter said angrily, "At least I know that I do feel guilty. I know that what I said will only make me feel a little better. I don't expect you to do anything after you hear it. What I want to say is that at least I know what's right and wrong. It's safer for you to deal with me than any other person in this pocket dimension. "
She didn't say anything.
"Anyone who can survive until today in this pocket dimension is not a straightforward person," Wei Xing smiled without any hint of humor. "He has set himself up as a person who acts quickly, speaks bluntly, and only cares about self-preservation. However, he is not the only posthuman who has set himself up."
'Just like how Wei Xing set himself up in the beginning? ' Lin Sanjiu felt that Wei Xing's last sentence seemed to be hinting at something, but she was too lazy to ask. She had more important things to do now.
"It's time for you to go out," Lin Sanjiu suppressed the rise and fall of her voice, "No matter if there is one more or one less person, the plan is still the same."
Wei Xing swallowed her surprise. She stood up and reached out to pick up the NPC and put him on her shoulder. When she walked out of the corner, she turned around and confirmed, "You will come out at the right time, right?"
Lin Sanjiu was checking the Item Cards one by one. As her fingers moved, the metal gauntlets glowed with a cold luster, as if they were cold will.
"Would you believe me if I said I would?"
Wei Xing thought for a moment. "If it was someone else," she mumbled, "I wouldn't be at ease. But I don't know why … I know you would. "
Without waiting for Lin Sanjiu's response, she turned around and walked out of the corner. The guards obviously noticed her immediately. When she turned around, the rustling of clothes could be heard. Wei Xing quickly raised his empty hand and said as if he was surrendering, "Wait a minute, I'm not an intruder!"
Lin Sanjiu didn't poke her head out to look — the red-faced man would probably check this direction first. She just leaned against the wall and captured all the sounds behind the corner into her mind. Then, she reconstructed the scene.
"Listen to me, I came in with the NPC's permission." Wei Xing's voice was hurried, but it sounded sincere. "However, I happened to find this injured NPC, so I thought of handing him over to you."
None of the guards spoke for a moment, but from the sounds of movement, at least two people were walking towards Wei Xing.
"He told me that it was the intruder who cut off his legs —" When Wei Xing said this, he suddenly took a deep breath. "Huh? Why is he here? "
"What's wrong with him?" someone finally asked. Judging from the voice, it seemed to be the guard who had reacted the fastest. He walked to Wei Xing's side and was only a few steps away from Lin Sanjiu.
"He's in cahoots with the intruders!" Wei Xing raised his voice and didn't give the guards much time to react. "The NPC and I were both captured by the intruders. It wasn't easy for us to escape while she was being chased by the other guards. So we know very well that he has been assisting the invaders — "
Fatty also spoke up, "Yes, he's on that side."
Even if it was the truth, if the red-faced man claimed that the two NPCs were assisting the intruders, it would be too unbelievable. After all, the identity of an NPC was already a guarantee. Lin Sanjiu held her breath and waited. As expected, the red-faced man was silent for a few seconds. Then, he laughed hoarsely, "You've misunderstood. I was undercover. Look, didn't I just catch an intruder? "
The large bug net shook a few times, and the knots made a creaking sound.
"This isn't enough." Lin Sanjiu sighed silently. The red-faced man was standing at the back of the corridor, separated by a group of guards. If she rushed out recklessly, he might escape. Wei Xing had to think of a way to lure him over before she could launch her attack.
Wei Xing wasn't stupid, so he quickly grasped the situation. He sneered and said to the guards beside him, "Have you seen the person in the net? No? Then how do you know that the person in the net is an intruder? I'm looking for the female NPC who gave me permission, but I haven't found her yet. "
The guards paused for a moment. Even through the wall, Lin Sanjiu could sense the confusion in their eyes.
"We want the same thing," the red-faced man said gloomily, "You use the NPC and I use the intruder. There's no conflict between us. Why are you giving me so much trouble? "
Wei Xing ignored the red-faced man and struck while the iron was hot, "Call him over and check the person in the net. Wouldn't that make you feel more assured?"
The suggestion was reasonable, so the guard agreed to it. Even though the red-faced man was reluctant, he knew that the more he resisted, the more suspicious he would be. He raised the bug net and walked toward the guard. He didn't forget to ask, "If I hand her over to you, you will let me out, right?"
'So, he wants to use Bohemia to exchange for a chance to get out.'
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but smile when she thought of all the new ways the red-faced man would curse her if he fell out of the net.
When she pounced forward with lightning speed, Wei Xing, who had been waiting for her, almost couldn't dodge in time.
Just like an antelope that saw a lion charging at it, the red-faced man's first reaction was fear. Half a second later, he seemed to remember that there were many guards around him, but it was already too late.
After jumping into the air, Lin Sanjiu did not touch the ground at all. Her right hand, which was wearing a metal gauntlet, shattered the ceiling light without any resistance. Then, she clasped her fingers together and grabbed the broken part of the light gauntlet to stabilize her body above everyone's heads. When the red-faced man's vision turned black, a black shadow had already rushed toward his face. Lin Sanjiu was still hanging in the air. She kicked the red-faced man's facial bones, and the tip of her boot sank half a centimeter into his face.
The red-faced man didn't even have time to scream before Lin Sanjiu sent him crashing into a wall. Losing its owner, the giant bug net wobbled and fell to the ground. Lin Sanjiu didn't jump down to grab it. Instead, she curled her body and dodged a guard's arm that swung at her from below.
Fortunately, the number of guards had been reduced by half, so she could do it with ease. When she saw the faces below her all turned toward her, revealing the black holes of different shapes and sizes, she let go of her hand that was hanging from the ceiling.
[Sand of Chest and Abdomen] was a card she got from Garden of Eden. Since it didn't have much use, Lin Sanjiu had forgotten about it until today. When the vortex exploded, a thick cloud of sand exploded in the air, covering everyone's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. While the guards were blocked, Lin Sanjiu landed in front of the red-faced man with a loud thud. She removed her metal gauntlet and pressed her hand on the man's face. Even his chin was disfigured.
The red-faced man was indeed a posthuman with rich combat experience. Even though he let out a blood-curdling scream and couldn't see anything, he still seized the opportunity to grab Lin Sanjiu with his fingers wide open. Lin Sanjiu didn't know what kind of ability was on his fingertips. Lin Sanjiu dodged his attack nimbly and rolled on the ground. Just as she was about to hide under the wall, the guards behind her all pounced on her.
The amount of [Sand from the Chest and Stomach] was so great that it created a sandstorm in the corridor. The guards were only able to block their way. However, since they were no longer humans, they reacted quickly to the sandstorm and rushed toward the figure in the dark. The corridor was too narrow, and there were too many guards. Lin Sanjiu was hit hard on the shoulder the moment she stood up with her back against the wall.
The guard's reflexes were not slow. Once he realized that he had made contact with his target, he immediately grabbed Lin Sanjiu's limp body. He did not forget to shout, "I caught the intruder!"
"I caught her too!" another guard chimed in.
The guard who was holding Lin Sanjiu was visibly startled. After the light on the ceiling disappeared, the vision of the guards and the NPCs dimmed as well. He moved closer to take a closer look at her. He could not help but sigh from the black hole. "Sigh, so it's this red face. He's beaten up pretty badly. "
He let go of Lin Sanjiu. Lin Sanjiu regained her strength and steadied herself before she fell to the ground. She swept her gaze across the room and scooped up the bug-catching net that was still rolling on the ground. A few guards surrounded the red-faced man, pressing and stomping on him. Over their shoulders, Lin Sanjiu could see the hair on the back of the red-faced man's head. Due to Bohemia's scalpel, the cat doctor had shaved off the part of his hair that looked like it had been gnawed by a dog.
Lin Sanjiu put away the [Mark Twain Collection: "The Prince and the Pauper"] that Gong Daoyi gave her. She knew that she didn't have much time left. She had deliberately broken the red-faced man's jaw with her kick just now so that he couldn't utter a single word. However, it wouldn't take long for the guards to realize that the red-faced man's grunt was more like a man's, and he was also dressed like a man …
She sneaked behind the guard and came to the entrance of the Pocket Dimension's engine. Wei Xing was very agile. During the battle just now, he had already dragged the NPC to a corner. Now, he had caught up with Lin Sanjiu and slid into the engine the moment Lin Sanjiu opened the door, leaving the NPC outside.
Lin Sanjiu threw the bug-catching net into the engine and blocked the door. Then, she took a few steps forward and pulled the NPC up. Coincidentally, one of the guards turned his head around. After a brief moment of confusion, he suddenly widened his eyes and shouted, "Hey, don't open the door! That door has to be closed! "
There was no time to look back. Lin Sanjiu grabbed the NPC's collar and immediately retreated. Just as the guards turned around, Lin Sanjiu stumbled and fell behind the door. It was almost absolute darkness behind the door. Only a faint light seeped through the gap of the door and illuminated Wei Xing's silhouette. Just when Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat and she thought that the woman was going to attack her again, Wei Xing slammed the door shut.
As soon as the door closed, it was as if the outside world had suddenly ceased to exist, and all sounds had disappeared. In the darkness, only the panting of a few people could be heard clearly.
"Hei Zeji?" Lin Sanjiu called out. As she listened to Wei Xing's movements, she searched for the bug-catching net on the ground, "Where are you?"
"You took a long time," Hei Zeji said in a low voice. He sounded a little strange. "Do you have a fire?"
Bohemia had a swimming fish that could illuminate the surroundings, so everyone would be able to see her if she was released. Lin Sanjiu fumbled for the net, and it took her quite some effort to open it in absolute darkness. She touched her body, which was wrapped in a long skirt, and whispered, "Take out your fish!"
Bohemia did not answer. She struggled to get up, but she tripped on her long skirt. Lin Sanjiu held Bohemia's arm tightly. The uneasiness in her heart grew stronger. "What's wrong with Hei Zeji? Why is it so dark here? It's different from what the NPC described. "
"You guys look for a fire first," the NPC said, "I know how to turn on the light here. You are Wei Xing, right? Help me to get closer. "
Hei Zeji did not say anything.
Wei Xing slowly moved to the NPC's side and dragged him to the other side. Lin Sanjiu did not understand why Bohemia refused to move. Just when she was about to urge her impatiently, she suddenly realized that she was breathing in a familiar, cold fragrance.
