Now was not the time to ask Silvan "why".
Sometimes, she would recall the day when she and Silvan sat alone in a room in the Munitions Factory. He pointed out the window and said, "The Munitions Factory will be mine." Lin Sanjiu always thought she saw ambition in his eyes, but today, she realized she was wrong.
She turned around and saw that Silvan still had a smile on his face, but it was a far cry from his usual gentleness. It was a kind of sharp, almost ruthless pleasure, like a teenager who had just taken revenge on the world a little. As long as he could make the other party feel pain, he did not care how big of a storm he caused in the process, nor did he care what kind of investigation and consequences he would provoke.
"What are you going to do with him?" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help asking. "What do you mean by unconditional recovery?"
"As one of the combat forces cultivated by the Munitions Factory," the woman smiled. Her pacifist temperament suddenly melted a little. "The Munitions Factory has the right to dispose of all his resources and himself. Even if we don't care about the things he has, just studying and dismantling a posthuman like him … Hmm, that is enough to benefit a small organization for a long time. "
He was a living person with warm flesh and blood, but he was described as a collection of resources. Lin Sanjiu suddenly understood a little about Silvan's actions. If she could also grab the collar of the Twelve Organization, she would not hesitate to slap that arrogant man's face.
"I see," Lin Sanjiu's palms were itchy from the blood rushing through them. "Then, if we dismantle the Twelve Organization, will we be able to benefit for life?"
Without waiting for the woman to answer, Lin Sanjiu turned to Silvan and smiled, "Why didn't you call me for such a good thing?"
Silvan looked at her, slightly startled. Then, as if he was relieved by her understanding, he smiled as well.
The next second, Lin Sanjiu lost control and fell to the sofa behind her.
She only realized what had happened when she was about to fall back onto the sofa. While no one paid much attention to the showpiece sofa, a long arm stretched out from the sofa cushions and grabbed Lin Sanjiu by the waist like a steel ring. She fell into the narrow gap between the sofa cushions. Silvan's reaction was fast, but just as he reached out his hand to grab Lin Sanjiu, the woman had already appeared behind him and reached for Silvan's throat.
Before any of her friends met with misfortune, Lin Sanjiu hoped that she would be the first one to die in battle.
She abruptly turned her hands around and grabbed the arm. [Pictorial Style: Upgraded Edition] was instantly activated. The arm exploded into a rain of blood and flesh, and her back was splattered with blood. Without any hesitation, she pushed the sofa away and jumped up again. Then, she pounced at Silvan and the woman behind him.
By the time she rushed forward and Silvan reached behind him, the woman had already disappeared without a trace. It was as if everything in the mall was willing to cover for her. If she wanted to hide her tracks, the two of them would not be able to find her even if they demolished the mall.
"Slippery. This is going to be a little troublesome." Lin Sanjiu finally caught her breath. She turned around and looked at the sofa that was soaked in blood. All that was left of the broken arm was the upper arm, and it lay limply on the sofa cushion. The part that should be connected to the shoulder was smooth, as if there was only this arm in the first place, and there was no one connected to it at all. "But since she has to run, it means that she doesn't have the guts to fight us face to face, right?"
Silvan stood on the spot quietly. His finger was placed on his Adam's apple. He did not say anything. Lin Sanjiu was very sure that before the woman could touch him, she would have been forced to retreat by both of their attacks. Besides, there were not many people in this world who could sneak up on Silvan. Nevertheless, she still asked, "Are you alright?"
Silvan looked up. His forest-like green eyes were watery, making him look a little lost like a child. He opened his mouth and pointed at his throat, but he did not say anything.
"What … What's wrong?"
When Lin Sanjiu asked that question, she already had a vague idea of what had happened. She turned around and looked at the severed arm on the sofa. It was obvious that it was not the woman's hand. Then, she looked at Silvan. The latter sighed and gave her a bitter smile. He mouthed a few words silently, "There's no sound."
If it weren't for the mess on the sofa, Lin Sanjiu would have fallen back.
"F * ck!" She couldn't help cursing in front of Silvan for the first time. "She didn't touch you. How could she —" disassemble "—"
Many thoughts rushed into her mind at that moment, but she could not finish her sentence. "So, the woman doesn't need to subdue Silvan to bring him back? Could she bring him part by part?
In the end, what would happen to Silvan, who used to be like the Sun God? "
The blonde man shook his head. He raised his hand in front of his throat, paused for a moment, and put it down again. It was as if he was reenacting what had just happened. Unfortunately, without an explanation, Lin Sanjiu could only watch in confusion. She did not know sign language well, and if the content was too complicated, it would take a lot of time and effort to read the man's lips. Both of them did not have the luxury to communicate slowly.
"No matter what, we just need to catch the woman," Lin Sanjiu kicked the sofa in anger. She watched as it slid backward, knocking over many low tables, ornaments, and household items. When the items were all over the floor, they overlapped with each other, and the dark gaps between them suddenly increased. It was as if there were many long eyes peeking at the two of them from under the furniture.
She shuddered, and an idea suddenly came to her.
"I have an idea." She turned around and held Silvan's hand. She couldn't help speaking softly, as if he was a stray animal that had just been hurt. "Come with me. I saw a shelf area just now. There are things we can use."
"Didn't that woman turn the mall into her territory? Even if it was demolished and turned into a mess, this was still her domain. Even the broken buildings and shelves would only create more blind spots and gaps, which would be even more troublesome. But what if this shopping mall could no longer exist?
While they were exploring the mall, Lin Sanjiu saw a large outdoor activity area. There were camping tents, outdoor folding stools, large ice boxes, portable barbecue grills … When it came to camping or hiking, there was no lack of combustibles for outdoor cooking.
She was determined to burn down the mall along with the woman.
There was one thing that Lin Sanjiu believed she was right about. Since the other party had the advantage of time and place, but he still refused to fight them head-on, it meant that the other party's advantage was not in combat. This was understandable. After all, Silvan's combat power was already there, and it was too difficult to find someone who could suppress him in terms of strength. This gave the two of them a chance.
Following the route that Mrs. Manas had extracted from her memory, Lin Sanjiu pulled Silvan along. Without much effort, they dashed back to the outdoor activity area between the racks. "Get the combustibles," She knew that Silvan would understand her intention without her saying anything. He nodded, raised his arm, and hit the shelf with his elbow. The heavy, large shelf immediately began to shake, and so did the rows of merchandise. However, just as the combustibles were about to fall off the shelf, the shaking stopped, and everything returned to normal.
Just when Lin Sanjiu thought it was that woman again, she heard another rustling sound from the direction of the entrance.
"The mall game is about to begin," a voice that undoubtedly belonged to a volunteer shouted. "I think there are a few people who are not invited … Oh, forget it. All the posthumans in this mall are the players for the next round."
