I'm still writing the main story. Let's go to bed first.]
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, blocking the exit. Some of the people wanted to go out, some wanted to watch the commotion, some shouted for help, some cursed, and some shouted to make way … It was chaos.
Right now, Lin Sanjiu couldn't care less. She grabbed the collar of anyone who dared to stand in her way 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 legs 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 bother to explain. 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's other side and walked back with difficulty.
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 by the crowd for a few times. She decided to get rough with the crowd. 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 fingernails could only be used to draw blood for analysis. They were like glass and would shatter upon touch. Therefore, if she encountered any danger, she could only use some weapons that were handy to her. Honestly speaking, even though her physical strength was stronger than the average person, she was not a martial arts expert.
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, so they did not even have the chance to develop their physical strength …
"It seems like you have to find more opportunities to train," Lin Sanjiu said thoughtfully. Lin Sanjiu said thoughtfully, "I know two posthumans. Maybe they are willing to let you draw their blood for analysis."
After that, she told Marcie everything that had happened that morning. She told her everything, from the walkie-talkie being taken away, to Yu's strange and strict attitude, to the oasis people using pills to increase their abilities.
"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 that word, her skin seemed to have sensed that something was wrong, and all the hair on her body stood up. 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 before. His facial features, hair, and everything else did not change. However, with just a change of expression, 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 cold and unfeeling aura. If Luther was a talkative teenager in the past, he was now a creature in human skin. He looked like a human, but he did not have the aura of a human.
His tone was completely different from before, and even 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 responded for a long time.
In the midst of the silence, the sound of Marcie swallowing her saliva was extremely loud. Then, she let out a cry 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 didn't 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 mocking smile gradually spread across his face like the winter fog.
"Shortening the crop cycle to 30 days? High temperature resistance? Evolving through drug catalysis? Do you guys really believe it like the pigs in the oasis? " His tone became soft and gentle, 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 could recognize. She didn't even 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, gave her a smile as if he was giving her charity, "Luther won't be coming out for a while. You better get used to me as soon as possible."
