To be honest, not many people living in an apocalyptic world had a normal mental state, right?
If someone asked you to roll your naked, weak body in a stone mill over and over again, to be pounded by the stone mill, to have your skin hit the hard stone, to be bruised and bleeding, and to have your bones broken … that would be the daily life of an apocalyptic evolver.
The hunger brought about by the lack of resources, the anxiety brought about by the restlessness... were not the most torturous. The most torturous was when you woke up in a daze one morning and found yourself seriously ill because of the injuries you suffered the day before yesterday. However, you did not dare to leave the ditch you were hiding in, because once you left the ditch, it would be occupied by someone else. Because there was no one to bring you water, and the dirty water on the ditch wall was precious. Because you were afraid of being found out that you were sick.
Lin Sanjiu felt that she had never met a person with a normal mental state, including herself. However, the "guard punishment" was obviously referring to the "abnormal" behavior of the former guard, which had risen to a whole new level.
When the two of them approached, the former guard behaved normally. He stood a few steps away from Magus, as if he did not have a place to put his hands and feet.
"Where are you going next?" Lin Sanjiu observed him for two seconds and asked. It was a euphemistic way to send them off.
"I..." The former guard thought for a while. "What time is it now? How long has it been since I came in? "
They looked at each other, but no one knew the answer.
"We don't know what year this place is, and we don't even know how to count the days," Bohemia said as if she was lecturing someone, "How can we tell you how long it has been?"
"You're right," the former guard said. Then, he fell into a daze again, as if he did not know what to do next. He might have been wandering underground for decades or just a few weeks. It might not seem like a big deal, but human beings were such creatures. They always wanted to confirm their foothold in the river of time, and once they lost it, they would be at a loss.
The former guard shook his head to clear his mind. "Um... I didn't get any points just now, and I don't have anything... Can I follow you? If I can help, can you give me some organs... Ah, if you don't want me to follow you, can you give me some points? You have taken so much. "
So he was this type of person? She didn't have any sense of shyness. Whenever she saw someone else having something, she would ask for it right away, which would make those who were thin-skinned feel embarrassed to refuse. But to be honest, she wasn't the worst type.
"We can't give you points,"
Lin Sanjiu glanced at him as she walked. The only thing they could do was to return to the toll counter and exchange their points for items, and then exchange them back for points. However, she had to get out of here before anyone realized that the two NPCs had died. Besides, she had to find a place to stay in Raven River as soon as possible so that Magus could settle down. There was no reason for her to turn back just because of such a trivial matter. "You'd better not follow us either."
"But, but I thought that I don't need to challenge this pocket dimension alone. I have a teammate with me … But now, I have to do it alone …" As he spoke, he felt a little aggrieved. It was as if Lin Sanjiu had made him struggle alone, "What do you think I can do alone?"
Bohemia lost her temper. Just when she was about to turn around and glare at Lin Sanjiu, Lin Sanjiu held her back. Lin Sanjiu pondered for a few seconds and looked at the ex-guard. Suddenly, she smiled and said, "You can follow us if you want."
When they were about to reach the ward where Raven River was staying, Bohemia caught up with them and grumbled, "Do you like time bombs?"
Lin Sanjiu knew that it wasn't the most realistic and advantageous decision. However, she couldn't help wondering which part of the ex-guard triggered Wei Xing's sixth sense. More importantly, she wanted to know if she could sense that there was something wrong with the ex-guard.
Besides, she was already prepared. Besides, the ex-guard's combat ability was average, so she wasn't afraid that he could stir up any trouble.
Of course, Bohemia didn't agree with Lin Sanjiu's suggestion. When Lin Sanjiu finally got over Bohemia's sarcasm, she said, "Do you think this is math?" "Yes, I did it before. Cut the crap!" "If you get stabbed to death in the middle of the night, I will boil water with your skull." Finally, they found the ward under Bohemia's name.
Puppeteer didn't have an entry pass with him, so he could only wait obediently at the corner of the wall. Bohemia stayed behind to act as his bodyguard. Lin Sanjiu climbed up the wall alone. After climbing up a few floors, she stopped at the door of her target's ward. She crouched down and knocked on the door.
"Raven Jiang?" she called out tentatively.
They had been gone for half a day, so Lin Sanjiu was mentally prepared that Raven Jiang would get impatient and leave. However, she didn't expect that he would really wait for them there as promised. With a click, the door was pushed open. It didn't even seem to be locked. From the top of the opened door, a familiar head popped out, "You guys are finally back! I've earned about five to six Points worth of organs from the stall I set up at the entrance! "
"This guy is pretty good at business."
"If I had known earlier, I would have let you set up your stall. It would have saved us a lot of trouble," Lin Sanjiu laughed bitterly. Lin Sanjiu smiled bitterly. She did not tell him the details of her trip to the ward. Besides, it was not the right time to talk while they were standing at the door. She gestured for Raven Jiang to open the door and went down. She carried Puppeteer's body into the ward. Bohemia grumbled as she grabbed the ex-guard's arm and dragged him into the ward.
"What happened to the woman with the spots on her face?"
Lin Sanjiu threw Puppeteer's body onto the bed with a thud. Magus turned her head under the cloth. Lin Sanjiu felt as if Magus was glaring at her with her mind. With so many people crammed into the small single ward, it was so crowded that it didn't feel like a hospital that was usually cold and quiet. Raven Jiang didn't waste any time. He "connected" the two halves of his body and now he looked like a weirdo with a very thin waist.
"The man who occupied her body was really tight-lipped at first. He wouldn't tell me the location of their ward no matter what," Raven Jiang snorted, "But later on, I suspected that the Soul Projection might have some limitations or side effects … He couldn't hold it in any longer and finally told me. I brought him back to his ward and woke the woman up. As for what happened between them after that, only God knows. "
'That's enough. At least, Sesame Cake got the justice she deserved. She didn't deserve to be harmed by her companion. '
This was the first time Lin Sanjiu felt at peace ever since she entered the hospital. She even felt a little satisfied because she was close to achieving her goal. She had found the people, and they had more than enough points. Even Hei Zeji, who wasn't good at seeing through lies, was sent away by her...
In the next few hours, Lin Sanjiu waited for the commotion to die down. The ward was filled with the sound of Bohemia's hands dancing as she recounted her experience, the occasional exclamation and laughter, the sound of Magus writing when she couldn't help herself from interrupting, and the crisp sound of Magus chewing biscuits... Even the only uncertain factor, the former security guard, sat quietly at the side, pouring tea for Lin Sanjiu. He didn't say a word unless he was asked a question.
The death of the two NPCs had indeed caused quite a stir in the hospital. However, perhaps the hospital urgently needed to restore order from the previous chaos, the curfew was lifted in just a few hours. Everything returned to normal.
Lin Sanjiu was pretty sure that when she made her move, there was no one around the cashier's counter who saw them. Therefore, when she carried Magus in her arms and called Bohemia to leave with her, she wasn't nervous at all, other than swallowing a [There should be someone like this in your class] as a precaution, which was better than nothing.
In the past few hours, even though the round of lava game had not ended, the location of the cashier's counter had changed. Lin Sanjiu and her companions had missed the notification of the location of the cashier's counter, so they had to spend a lot of effort to "trick" other posthumans to find the location. Magus even wrote down what they should say and how they should say it. But no matter what, they finally found the cashier's counter.
When Lin Sanjiu saw the overly familiar room from afar, she stopped in her tracks and furrowed her brows.
"Look."
She called out to Bohemia in a low voice, "Is the person who just finished changing his points... Fifty Ming?"
