The place where Luther fell couldn't be any worse. He fell right in front of the main entrance. When Lin Sanjiu and Marcie arrived, the main entrance was already surrounded by three layers of people. The exit was completely blocked. Some of the people wanted to go out, some wanted to watch the commotion, some were shouting for help, some were cursing, and some were clamoring to make way … It was a complete mess.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't care less now. She grabbed every single person who dared to block her by the collar and threw them aside. Not long after, amidst the complaints, she led Marcie into the middle of the crowd.
Luther was lying on the ground with a pale face. His eyes were tightly shut, and his body was trembling slightly. His clothes were dusty, and there were a few footprints on his legs. He must have been stepped on by the people behind him when he suddenly fell. Chen Jinfeng had appeared out of nowhere and was squatting beside him. He shouted at the crowd behind him, "Make way! Someone in front has fainted. Don't come any further!"
He was a cadre, so his words carried weight. Some of the people in the crowd recognized him, so they all shouted for him to make way for him.
Marcie smiled at him gratefully, "When did Cadre Chen come? Thank you so much. "
Lin Sanjiu nodded at him and put Luther's arm on her shoulder. Seeing that they had helped Luther up, Chen Jinfeng patted the dust off his leg and stood up. He said to the two of them, "It's good that you guys are here. There is a medical room in Block 38. You guys can bring him there. Don't worry about dinner, I will get someone to send it over. "
"Thank you, but it's nothing. It's just an old problem!" Lin Sanjiu didn't explain further. She quickly added, "We will bring him back to his room to rest."
Chen Jinfeng nodded his head reservedly and left without saying anything.
"I didn't expect Cadre Chen to be such a nice person even though he speaks with an accent," Marcie sighed as she supported Luther on the other side of his body.
Lin Sanjiu nodded.
It was indeed not an easy task to push through the hungry crowd and go against the current. Lin Sanjiu got impatient after being pushed back a few times by the flow of people. She decided to be rough with them. She had no idea how many people she had shoved aside along the way, but it was not easy for her to reach Luther's place.
After laying him flat on the bed, the two women finally had the time to breathe a sigh of relief. While waiting for Luther to regain consciousness, the two of them sat on the ground and chatted.
"My Evolved Ability leveled up this morning," Lin Sanjiu said with a smile, "It seems that the pocket dimension has greatly stimulated our abilities."
Marcie nodded silently and suddenly sighed. "I wonder if mine will level up …"
Marcie's ability had always been the weakest among the three of them. Her nails could only be used to draw blood for analysis. They were like glass and would shatter at the slightest touch. Therefore, if she encountered danger, she could only use some weapons that were convenient to her. But to be honest, although her stamina was stronger than the average person, she was not a martial arts master.
Over the past month or so, Lin Sanjiu had roughly grasped a pattern. Evolved Abilities were like knives. They would not become sharp unless they were sharpened. Take the few natural posthumans in the oasis for example. As they lived a comfortable life, they did not have any training. Hence, they did not even have the chance to enhance their stamina …
"It seems like you have to find more opportunities to practice," Lin Sanjiu said thoughtfully. Lin Sanjiu said thoughtfully, "I know two posthumans. Maybe they are willing to let you draw their blood for analysis."
Then, she told Marcie everything that had happened that morning, from the walkie-talkie being taken away, to Xiao Yu's strange and strict attitude, to the oasis people using pills to enhance their abilities. She told Marcie everything.
"I don't know if I'm overthinking, but I feel that I should be more vigilant here," Lin Sanjiu concluded.
"Nonsense," a cold voice suddenly rang out in the room.
Lin Sanjiu's body reacted faster than her consciousness. When she heard the two words, she felt that something was wrong. Her hair stood on end. Marcie and Lin Sanjiu's expressions froze. Slowly, they turned their heads.
Luther had already woken up. He was supporting himself with one arm on the bed. He raised one of his eyebrows and looked at them with an indifferent expression.
Lin Sanjiu had never seen such an expression on Luther's face. His facial features, hair, and everything else did not change. He merely changed his expression, but the aura he exuded was completely different. The youthful and exuberant aura he had in the past was gone. Instead, it was replaced by a coldness that was as cold as a lake. If Luther was a talkative teenager in the past, he was now like a human covered in human skin. He looked like a human, but he did not seem human.
His tone was completely different from before. His voice sounded different, "Why are you guys looking at me?"
As he spoke, he looked at his palms and nails with interest.
The atmosphere in the room was very strange. After Luther asked that question, no one answered for a long time.
In the silence, the sound of Marcie swallowing her saliva was extremely loud. Then, she screamed as if she had a headache. She grabbed her hair and said to Luther with a pained expression, "So, you are the next one!"
"Wh-what? What is going on?" Lin Sanjiu, who had no idea what was going on.
Luther did not seem to notice the confusion on Lin Sanjiu's face. He sat up on the bed and rested his chin on his hand. A faint and sarcastic smile gradually spread across his face like the winter fog.
"Shortening the crop cycle to 30 days? Heat resistance? Evolving through drug catalysis? Do you guys really believe it like the pigs in the oasis? " His tone became soft, but his words were cold and filled with malice, "Have all of you been scared silly by the duoluozhong? Don't you know what this means?"
Lin Sanjiu stared blankly at the only person she knew. She did not need to use her sharp intuition to ask, "Who are you?"
This time, before "Luther" could speak, Marcie, who was beside him, spoke in a voice that sounded like a moan, "Xiaojiu, let me introduce you … This is Luther's seventh personality, Septimus."
Lin Sanjiu suddenly felt as if her head was about to explode. She stared at "Luther" in a daze.
"Luther, no, Septimus," smiled at her as if he was doing her a favor. "Luther won't be coming out for a while. You better get used to me as soon as possible."
