I'm going to die. Really.]
Ji Shanqing was very clear about his value.
After traveling through the mirror maze for so long, the grand prize was no longer just a tempting reward. More importantly, it was an exit from the Pocket Dimension. No posthuman could refuse the hope of being able to see the light of day again. When Ji Shanqing trapped all the people who were interested in him in a room and told them that only the winner could see the grand prize, all of them were pushed to the edge of a needle.
After the first exchange of blows, everyone's eyes were bloodshot.
Because of Ji Shanqing's last sentence, everyone's first target was "Lin Sanjiu, who had gained a slight advantage".
Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath. She could feel her blood coursing through her veins due to her high excitement. Relying on her strong control over her limbs, she managed to keep her fingertips from moving even an inch.
Ji Shanqing had spoken for a few seconds, but no one acted rashly. The air in the mirror maze was like a heavy cotton ball soaked in water. It pressed down on everyone's windpipes, making it hard for them to breathe.
With every passing second, Lin Sanjiu grew more anxious.
Even though the three people in front of her couldn't see her, she didn't dare to forget about the ten or so black spheres floating around her.
As long as she didn't move, the black spheres would float quietly. They looked like decorations around her. However, when she turned her head slightly, the black spheres seemed to come alive. They rushed toward the body she had just moved. Even though Lin Sanjiu didn't know what the black spheres were going to do, she could smell the faint smell of gunpowder when she was in her hypersensory state.
However, how could she not move when she saw that the battle was imminent?
A few drops of cold sweat slid down her back. They touched the base of her wings and seeped into her clothes.
"Miss Lin," Geran stood between the old man and the green jelly. He smiled with a pale face, "Some things can't be forced."
Lin Sanjiu didn't even blink.
"Where's your friend, Puppeteer? And that strange cat … Why don't I see them? " Geran rubbed his hands and sighed, "... I guess they all died in this final race. After all, it's so easy to kill someone here, right? "
Lin Sanjiu's heart sank uncontrollably.
This was what she was afraid of. If Puppeteer managed to find the cat doctor and the others using his puppeteer method, all of them would be blown to smithereens if he decided to turn around and go back to where they came from. Lin Sanjiu had already witnessed a rain of blood and flesh.
"I say," the short old man stared fixedly at Lin Sanjiu. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. The corner of his mouth, which was still stained with blood, curled up, "I think everyone should agree, right? First, we have to get rid of this guy who has gained a slight advantage. After that, it will be up to us to decide who the grand prize will be. "
"Fair," Geran said softly. The green jelly trembled a few times.
"Great," the old man laughed hoarsely. Then, he said casually, "Let's do it!"
Lin Sanjiu's body trembled. Before she could look up to see what was happening, she already knew that something was wrong. Her [Tornado Whip] was obviously not enough to deal with the three people in front of her. She quickly held the [Vibroblade] card in her hand. Just as a gust of wind blew in front of her, she threw the [Vibroblade] card out.
When the card was a few meters away from Lin Sanjiu's hand, it transformed into a knife in the air. It pierced through the attacker's body without any resistance and flew backward. Just as it was about to hit the ground, a hand caught it. Geran looked up and smiled at Lin Sanjiu.
Lin Sanjiu cursed inwardly.
She never expected that the first person to pounce on her would be the green jelly.
The green jelly's body was more than half the width of a human's body. The [Vibroblade] pierced through the "jelly" part of his body, which had no internal organs. After the green jelly let out a gurgling sound, its trembling body closed again. It retreated a few steps back as if nothing had happened.
Even though the jelly's body didn't look like much, it had saved her life twice in a row.
Lin Sanjiu didn't have the time to feel sorry for her knife. She shot a quick glance at the black orbs. When she realized that they only moved slightly, she heaved a sigh of relief. However, before she could let out a sigh of relief, something unexpected happened.
The old man who was hiding behind the green jelly leaped down from the air.
He didn't attack with his limbs, nor did he use any Special Items. Lin Sanjiu widened her eyes as the short, skinny, monkey-like figure in the air spread his arms wide open and swooped down on her.
Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to use her skeletal wings. She activated her [Mosaic Censorship] and charged her palm toward the figure. However, almost at the same time, the black orbs also moved. They whizzed toward Lin Sanjiu's palms. "Before I hit the old man, I have to hit the black orbs first!"
Lin Sanjiu cursed inwardly. She twisted her body and retracted her hand. In the next second, a black shadow blocked her vision.
Unexpectedly, she didn't feel like she was touched by anything at all.
"Where is he?"
Lin Sanjiu looked around. She couldn't find any trace of the old man in the mirror chamber. He was like a bubble that had been exposed to sunlight. She didn't know when he had melted and disappeared.
Before he could finish this thought, his vision suddenly darkened. A short and small figure suddenly appeared in the air as quickly as it came, landing back in the corner with a "thump" and standing up straight. It was the old man with loose eyelids.
His triangular eyes revealed a hint of excitement. He stared at Lin Sanjiu and said, "Guys, she can't move at all."
A wave of shock washed over Lin Sanjiu from head to toe. She felt her face go numb. Then, she felt Geran and Green Jelly staring at her.
"Just now, a posthuman used his ability to control her movements. Even though that posthuman is dead, the effect is still there." For some reason, the old man's tone was very smooth. It didn't sound like he was just speculating. "No matter what she does, she will be immediately attacked if she moves."
"Amazing. Amazing," Geran retracted his gaze. He looked at the old man with sparkling eyes, "Did you manage to detect that in just a few seconds?"
The old man snorted and laughed. "That's nothing. She has a shield-like thing on her and she is burning her stamina. Other than that, she even tried to use an ability to attack me. It seems that if she touches me with her hands, the consequences will be severe. "
Lin Sanjiu was stunned. It wasn't unusual to be able to deduce a person's ability based on their actions. However, in just a few seconds, the old man had already figured out everything about her!
This kind of ability to detect the enemy's information was really too terrifying!
At that moment, the three people in front of her looked at her as if she was already dead.
"I can't move?" Lin Sanjiu calmed herself down and forced a smile, "Why don't you guys come and try?"
The first to make a move was neither Geran nor the old man. The green jelly suddenly trembled and a dozen dazzling miniature "lightning bolts" appeared in the air. The mirror chamber was sometimes as bright as day and sometimes dark and chaotic. The crackling lightning made it hard for Lin Sanjiu to keep her eyes open. She had to rely on the goosebumps on her body to identify the lightning bolts that slithered in the air like living snakes.
The dozen "lightning bolts" suddenly disappeared into the darkness and suddenly lit up. For a moment, Lin Sanjiu's vision was blurred by the intense white light. At that moment, Lin Sanjiu couldn't care less about the black orb beside her. She crouched down and felt a scorching heat rush past her body.
Before Lin Sanjiu could catch her breath, the black orbs swam toward her arms and abdomen like sharks. In the next second, before Lin Sanjiu could even feel the pain, she saw her own flesh and blood splattering all over her body. The worst part was that the black orbs seemed to have shrunk a little compared to before.
The splatter of blood seemed to have aroused the ferocity of the lightning bolts around her. They roared and attacked Lin Sanjiu one after another as if they were besieging a city.
Lin Sanjiu didn't even have time to tend to her wounds. She used all her strength to dodge the lightning bolts and barely dodged them. However, it was inevitable that the black orb would strike her again.
"Damn it!"
Lin Sanjiu finally cursed.
Even if they weren't as powerful as the lightning bolts, she would be killed by them sooner or later if this continued!
"I have to think of a way..."
"Huh?"
All of a sudden, Lin Sanjiu's attention was caught by something that happened in the blink of an eye.
Each of the black balls was like a miniature bomb. Even the tough and resilient body of a posthuman would be bitten off by them, leaving behind a bloody mess. Some of the wounds were so deep that even the bones could be seen. However, when Lin Sanjiu unintentionally looked down, she realized that her wounds had stopped bleeding the moment they formed.
She was stunned for a few seconds. Then, she realized that her wounds were covered by her Higher Consciousness.
"Thank you," Lin Sanjiu said to Mrs. Manas in her mind, "You have inspired me."
The next second, when a few blinding white lightning bolts struck toward her, Lin Sanjiu rolled over in a flustered manner and shouted with all her might.
"My grand prize!"
At that moment, the shadowy figures on the other side of the mirror maze stirred. They couldn't sit still any longer.
The mystery that lingered in their minds was the "slight advantage" that Ji Shanqing had mentioned. What if Lin Sanjiu's so-called "slight advantage" was the grand prize? After all, the Starry Carnival Amusement Park was a place that would treat killing games as family fun.
When the other two posthuman pounced on Lin Sanjiu, even though Geran had his doubts, he had no choice but to follow them.
A few bolts of lightning struck the surface of the mirror, stirring up a puff of smoke. Behind the smoke was Lin Sanjiu, who was covered in wounds and a mess. She looked at the posthumans who were glaring at her with bloodshot eyes. Finally, she flashed a sincere smile.
"Come on," Lin Sanjiu called out softly. Then, like an agile cheetah, she charged forward without any hesitation.
It was as if Lin Sanjiu was no longer afraid of the black ball. Just as she was about to collide with the posthuman, she twisted her body gracefully in the air. Her skeletal wings spread out like flowing water. The black ball had been chasing after Lin Sanjiu, but when it was blocked by her skeletal wings, it immediately gathered around her skeletal wings.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. In the next second, the black ball exploded into a cloud of white bone fragments.
This was a true pain that seeped into the bone marrow.
In an instant, Lin Sanjiu's body was drenched in cold sweat. Mrs. Manas' voice echoed in her mind. "Now!" She gritted her teeth and instantly released her Willpower.
The amount of bone fragments that could form a two-meter wing was almost immeasurable. It was like a snowstorm. However, unlike snow, these bone fragments were as hard as steel and as sharp as blades. Under the control of Lin Sanjiu's higher consciousness, they shot out like a torrential downpour.
For a second or two, everyone's eyes were filled with a vast expanse of whiteness that represented death.
The first thing that told Lin Sanjiu that her plan had succeeded was the sudden disappearance of Lightning.
Even his jelly-like body had been reduced to a pile of slimy, slimy, and sticky substance under such intense, concentrated, and ferocious attacks. When the outer shell of the jelly-like body had turned into a puddle of mud, the exposed organs had been shot into a hornet's nest.
Green jelly. Death.
The old man's current appearance was no better than a dead jelly. The loose skin on his face had long been smashed into pieces, hanging from his facial bones along with the shredded muscles. His eye sockets were filled with white bone fragments. If it weren't for the "hah hah" sounds coming from his mouth, no one would have thought that he was a living person.
Geran was the only one who managed to survive. Even though his body was riddled with wounds, they were all superficial wounds, thanks to his suspicious nature and quick vigilance.
Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath. She ignored Geran's pale face and swept her gaze across the small black spheres beside her.
The surface area of the wings was large and it was very hard. It couldn't be compared to an exploding body. Hence, half of the small black spheres had been used up. However, there were still five to six smaller black spheres floating around Lin Sanjiu.
"Damn it," Lin Sanjiu cursed. She did not move her body. However, a figure suddenly moved in front of her. She immediately raised her eyes.
Even though Geran was so scared by the situation that he had just witnessed, he still forced himself to move to the side of the half-dead old man. Then, he reached out and patted the old man's body.
While Lin Sanjiu was still in a daze, Geran took a deep breath. He seemed to be very satisfied. Then, he smiled slowly.
"It's just you and me again, Miss Lin," he said gently as he waved a square box in his hand. "I'm sorry. It seems like the grand prize is mine."
When Geran saw that Lin Sanjiu was staring at him without saying anything, he smiled again.
"This is the trump card that I prepared," he said slowly, "It doesn't matter whether I tell you or not. I'll just tell you."
"You know that my combat ability isn't good. The reason why I dared to come here alone is because of this [Empty-handed Kleptomaniac]. With it, no matter who it is or how strong they are, as long as I hit them with [Empty-handed Kleptomaniac], I can use their combat ability. " Geran stood up slowly. For some reason, Lin Sanjiu found the expression on his face more and more familiar, "No matter how powerful you are, it's useless to be too naive. You will soon find out how powerful the person I'm going to use is. However, I still managed to trick him into using his combat ability …"
"He-Hei Zeji?" When Lin Sanjiu saw the familiar expression on Geran's face, she couldn't help but cry out.
