Mmm … "
The woman who was curled up on the floor suddenly let out a low moan, breaking the tense atmosphere in the room.
"Ah … Just now, it really hurt a little …"
Lin Sanjiu's eyes twitched when she saw "Mama Lin" rubbing the back of her head as she stood up. "Oh no, it's two against one. Putting aside the fact that her opponent is a tall man, I'm so tired that my limbs are weak. I don't even have the strength to protect myself … "
"Mama Lin" straightened her body and cracked her neck. When she turned her face again, she had transformed into an unfamiliar teenager who was about seventeen or eighteen years old.
"Oh my, oh my, oh my. There are so many parents in this world, but we have to meet an orphan … "The teenager complained to his partner without even looking at Lin Sanjiu. "Papa Lin" nodded silently and took two steps out of the bedroom.
After two steps, "Papa Lin" turned into a middle-aged Caucasian woman with red hair. She asked the boy in fluent Chinese, "She didn't hurt you just now, did she?"
The teenager smiled, revealing a row of white teeth, "Of course not. She's not that strong."
Lin Sanjiu felt bitter when she saw how natural the two of them were. She took a few steps back and asked with a trembling voice, "Are you guys from the 'New World'?"
When the teenager heard that, his interest was instantly piqued, "Oh? So you know so much? I have underestimated you. No wonder you were so fast. Hmm, I noticed just now that you have evolved a little … Your Potential Growth Value must be very high. "
The teenager's tone was especially lively as if he was talking about a game he liked to play. If the teenager hadn't transformed into her deceased mother and lured her into the room, Lin Sanjiu would have let her guard down.
"My friend … is she really dead?"
The teenager shrugged his shoulders exaggeratedly. "She is in the bathroom. She seems to be too dehydrated, so she wants to get some water. But isn't there a drought in this place? Anyway, there isn't a single drop of water flowing out of the tap … Oh, by the way, she looks very ugly. I advise you not to look at her. "
Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. Lin Sanjiu quickly wiped them away and glared at the two people in front of her. She took another step back.
She had already met Ren Nan, the so-called "posthumans" from the new world. This time, Lin Sanjiu suddenly met two of them. She couldn't help raising her guard to the maximum. "If you didn't kill my friends, why are you here? Why did you trick me into coming in just now? "
The young man spread his hands. "When we came over, we couldn't choose the location! It's not bad to fall back into a family's home. There's even a bed to rest on … In short, when we arrived, your friend was already dead. "
"Then why did you pretend to be my parents to deceive me? How do you know about my parents? " "Obviously, this young man is very talkative. He has already revealed a lot of information in such a short time." Lin Sanjiu planned in her mind and purposely asked another question.
Lin Sanjiu didn't know if the red-haired woman had seen through her thoughts, but before the young man could answer, she became impatient. She waved her hand to stop the young man from talking and said with a cold face, "I wanted you to come in."
The red-haired woman's fingernails extended by half a meter, glinting in the dark. Lin Sanjiu didn't know if the red-haired woman had read her mind. "I just want to see how much the people in this world have evolved."
Almost at the instant the red-haired woman's fingernails extended, Lin Sanjiu kicked the chair forward and blocked the two people's path. Then, she turned around and ran. Luckily, she didn't close the door when she entered the house, so she had an escape route.
Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to look back. She dashed toward the staircase and rushed down the stairs. Sure enough, the sound of footsteps came from behind her, catching up to her without a moment's pause. Amidst the footsteps were the young man's complaints, "… She's hurting me again!"
Then, she couldn't hear anything else. There was only one thought in her mind: run for your life. It was as if all the oxygen in her body had been squeezed out. Her lungs started to burn. Every time she breathed in, the air was scalding hot, and it burned her windpipe. Even though Lin Sanjiu wasn't afraid of it, she couldn't avoid the discomfort. In addition, she was already injured and her limbs were weak, so she couldn't run fast. Just when she was about to reach the entrance of the residential area, she heard the sharp sound of metal piercing through the air. Gritting her teeth, Lin Sanjiu rolled on the ground, dodging the red-haired woman's long steel armor.
She rolled about a meter away. When she turned around, she saw that the red-haired woman and the young man had caught up and were about to pounce on her again.
Lin Sanjiu threw a white object into the air. With a thought, two large metal doors suddenly appeared in the air. They fell from the air with a gust of wind. The young man screamed in pain as he fell to the ground. Lin Sanjiu's legs gave way and she fell to the ground.
Seeing that the young man couldn't get up, Lin Sanjiu didn't feel happy at all. The red-haired woman, who was the biggest threat to her, was still standing outside the metal doors!
However, Lin Sanjiu couldn't run anymore. Every time she changed her card, she had to expend a certain amount of stamina. Swapping out the metal doors just now had exhausted the last bit of her strength. She couldn't even stand up now, so she lay on the ground and glared at the red-haired woman. Her heart was filled with resentment.
However, to her surprise, the red-haired woman sighed. She didn't chase after Lin Sanjiu. Instead, she sat down on the ground. She frowned and turned to the young man under the metal doors, "Why are you so stupid?"
The young man, who was hit by the heavy metal doors, didn't seem to suffer any fatal injuries. He coughed twice and panted as he retorted, "I have real skin and flesh. Of course, I can't run as fast as you! Cough, cough … It hurts … It's pressing on my windpipe … "
The red-haired woman snorted and sneered, "It's true that you have a body full of fat, but you are so slow. I don't know how you survived."
"What are you talking about? If it weren't for my high potential — "
Lin Sanjiu stared blankly at the two pursuers who were bickering with each other. They seemed to have forgotten about her.
"Hey … Aren't you guys going to kill me?"
"Huh?" The young man stuck his head out from between the bars of the metal doors. He looked at Lin Sanjiu in astonishment, "Sis, did you think that we were going to kill you? No wonder you ran like a madman. You didn't stop even when I shouted at you … I'm already a highly evolved chick. What good would it do me to kill a little chick like you? "
Lin Sanjiu's mouth twitched as she looked at the highly posthuman lying motionless on the ground. In the end, she held herself back and didn't say anything. However, at the same time, her heart finally calmed down. It couldn't be better that they weren't hostile toward her. However —
"Sis, can you move the metal doors away? They're squashing me flat, "the young man whimpered when no one responded to him.
Lin Sanjiu shot a glance at the red-haired woman who was sitting on the ground. She couldn't understand why the woman was just watching from the side. After a pause, she said coldly, "Sure, but first, you have to introduce yourselves."
"Of course, of course. My name is Luther. Nice to meet you. Do you want to shake hands with me? " The young man leaned his head against the bars. When he saw Lin Sanjiu rolling her eyes, he smiled and said, "Oh, right. This is my other personality. Her name is Marcie."
Lin Sanjiu's eyes widened. "Another personality?"
"That's right. Before the arrival of the 'New World' on my side, I was the second person in the world to be diagnosed with a split personality, "Luther's tone became particularly proud when he talked about this. He tried his best to raise his chin, "After I evolved, I could split Marcie. However, we can't be too far apart from each other … Hmm, since this is related to my ability, I won't tell you too much. Don't ask me why I know about your parents. It's also my ability …" He realized that he had said too much, so he quickly covered it up, "Anyway, Marcie is a life scientist. She is very interested in humans who have just evolved. That's why she was a little anxious just now."
Lin Sanjiu turned around and saw Marcie nodding her head solemnly.
"Then, why did she extend her long fingernails …" Lin Sanjiu looked at Marcie's fingernails, perplexed. Under the flashlight, Marcie's fingernails looked very normal. They were short and round.
"It's used to draw blood … After drawing blood, we can analyze some basic data. This is an ability that Marcie developed herself. It doesn't have much practical value," Luther said honestly.
"Wait, are you saying that not only can you evolve your ability, but your split personality can also evolve your ability?" Lin Sanjiu was truly shocked. Luther was indeed a Potential Heavenly King. "If this continues, wouldn't you have the power of an entire army?"
"It's not that simple …" Luther said with a bitter face. "Currently, this ability is useless. Other than her fingernails, Marcie can't even hurt anyone. Alright, alright, if I reveal too much of my ability, I will die. Can you let me out first? We can talk about this later, okay? "
Lin Sanjiu let out a heavy sigh. "It's probably because I suddenly saw my deceased parents. The situation was too strange …" Even though she had chatted with Luther for a while, she really couldn't sense any malicious intent from him and Marcie. She smiled bitterly and confessed, "It's not that I don't want to let you out, but I'm really exhausted now. I need to rest for a while. Why don't you tell me what this' new world 'is all about … "
Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the guardhouse next to her, "Ahcoo?"
Marcie, who was sitting quietly, suddenly jumped up. With a grave expression, she said softly, "Oh no."
