There was a noble explanation for Queen Nightstar's actions, and a dark one.
The noble explanation was that the girl did not intend to lie to them. She was just afraid that they would lie to her, so she put away the words subconsciously.
Lin Sanjiu was willing to look on the bright side, but she was not that naive.
The dark explanation was that the girl knew that she would be affected by the words, but she did not want to tell the truth, so she put away the words.
But if that was the case, how could she explain that the girl was not affected by the words of hunger and locusts? If she was immune to hunger and locusts, and it seemed like she was, then she should be immune to honesty, right?
After Lin Sanjiu put away the paper, the latter did not send her another message. She could not write down the doubts in her heart and tell Yu Yuan because the queen was walking half a step ahead of her and would turn around to talk to her from time to time. The girl happened to turn her head again at this moment. Her broad jaw was clearly visible. As she spoke, she moved up and down. "This is the legendary humanoid object, isn't it?"
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment before she realized that the girl was talking about Yu Yuan. The good thing about the Veda was that they would not show any emotion no matter what others said.
"Yes." Even though she felt a little guilty lying to her benefactor, Yu Yuan was involved, so she had no choice but to let the girl down. "You can tell?" she asked tentatively.
"If it is not affected by the words, then it is definitely not human!" The Nightstar Queen turned around and said with a "Ha", "I've never seen such a humanoid object before. Now that I see it, it's nothing special. I recognized it with a single glance."
She suddenly gestured for Lin Sanjiu to follow her and said with a smile, "I have a good impression of you, so I want to teach you a lesson. If you can recognize it, then the humanoid item is useless. It has lost its greatest value. You must have spent a lot of money on it, right? Don't waste your money on it anymore. "
If the three humanoid items in the card deck could hear her, they would have protested by now. Lin Sanjiu did not say anything. She just nodded and replied, "Okay."
The queen then glanced at Yu Yuan from the corner of her eye. "But, they might be able to help you? I've never tried this kind of item before … "
The use of humanoid items was not an important topic worth discussing.
"Okay," Lin Sanjiu replied. She was concentrating on the information that the NightStar Queen had just let slip — "Being unaffected by words means that she is definitely not human." First of all, this meant that non-humans were unaffected by words, which meant that she had a lot to think about. Second of all, this meant that the girl herself had admitted that she could be affected by words.
The possibility that she was not a human was not impossible, but it was too small. Even at this distance, Lin Sanjiu could clearly sense some of the physiological signs on the woman's body, such as her breathing, heartbeat, superior carotid artery … Regardless of the location or the pattern of the signs, they all belonged to a human posthuman.
Moreover, they belonged to the group of human evolved humans that were relatively … well, relatively ordinary.
Lin Sanjiu changed the adjective she used to describe the man who had saved her.
Aside from combat ability, intelligence, reflexes, knowledge, and other qualities determined a posthuman's strength. Lin Sanjiu had only probed a little, but the other party had already revealed some important information. It also showed that Queen NightStar was not some superhuman being.
So, how did she become one of the game creators?
"How long have you been here?" Lin Sanjiu thought for a while and decided not to ask the question directly.
Unexpectedly, the NightStar Queen seemed to be unhappy again after a few seconds of silence. She took half a step forward again and walked in front of Lin Sanjiu. After Lin Sanjiu had asked her twice, the NightStar Queen finally said without turning her head, "Why are you asking this?"
"I want to know more about this place."
"I don't know what to tell you, you're asking so many questions, and I don't know what to tell you. Wait for me, I will introduce you when I get back! " The NightStar Queen suddenly stopped and faced an open cement floor. "There is a valley not far from here. This is a relatively dangerous area. You have to listen to my instructions."
Lin Sanjiu looked at the ceiling above her and the cement walls around her. "Valley?"
"All of us have the ability to modify the environment we live in," the NightStar Queen seemed to be very willing to tell Lin Sanjiu about her special abilities. "The Trembling King transformed that room into a study room, and the person in front of us transformed a large area into a valley."
The Trembling King was so annoying that Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to ask who lived in front of them. She didn't care what he called himself. In her mind, that person was called Zhang Valley.
The wide cement floor gradually slid down, forming a gentle slope. The two of them followed the NightStar Queen down the slope for a while. In the blink of an eye, they saw a whole new world in front of them. The wall had turned into a field full of weeds, and the dark, withered forest had replaced the cement road. From time to time, a black crow would fly across the hazy sky.
"Why is this place dangerous?" Yu Yuan had consciously assumed the role of a humanoid object, so Lin Sanjiu had no choice but to ask the questions.
"It is dangerous for you, but it doesn't matter to me." The NightStar Queen walked steadily on the dirt path between the weeds. She did not seem afraid at all. "Edgar Allan Poe can't hurt me. But, if he sees you …"
"What will happen to him?"
The NightStar Queen paused. Lin Sanjiu suddenly felt that she didn't know either.
"You will be mentally ill even if you ask. Why don't you listen to me? Other than a soft-hearted person like me, there is no one else here who will help you, "the girl emphasized. "You came in through an unusual way. Once you are discovered, no one knows what will happen to you. I will go and ask him about Ji Shanqing. You guys hide behind me. Don't get discovered. "
"Is he related to that apartment game?"
"We usually write our own games, so we don't know what each other has created," the NightStar Queen answered readily this time. This time, the NightStar Queen answered readily. "I heard from a volunteer that Edgar Allan Poe had written a game about an apartment..."
"What is their relationship with the volunteers?"
Lin Sanjiu swallowed the question when it came to her mind. Her priority now was to save her grand prize. Nothing else mattered. Now that she had some understanding of how to deal with the NightStar Queen, she immediately thanked her, "I see. If not for you, we wouldn't have known about this Edgar Allan Poe. "
Logically speaking, this was the truth, but she felt bad saying it.
The NightStar Queen only replied, "Do you think I want to help you? It's better to have less trouble. Do you know how much trouble you have caused me?"
Edgar Allan Poe, no, Zhang Shanqiu's residence was a big house located deep in the valley. From afar, the mansion looked gray and dilapidated, reminiscent of the collapsed House of Usher. As they approached the mansion, the NightStar Queen's expression became more and more serious. Just as they were about to walk to the entrance of the mansion, she had the two squat in a bush by the roadside and whispered, "Don't run around. Wait for me here. If the situation changes, I'll come back here to meet you."
"What changes?"
"What if he really did capture Ji Shanqing and attacked me when I asked him about it?" The girl looked at Lin Sanjiu and said, "Why didn't you think of that?"
"I thought he couldn't hurt you?"
Lin Sanjiu swallowed her words and gave a perfunctory reply. She watched as the girl turned around and walked toward the House of Usher. The two of them sat in the bush and watched as the girl knocked on the door of the House of Usher. Yu Yuan finally spoke after she was led in by a person whose face she couldn't see clearly.
"There is one thing I don't understand."
"Speak."
"With your combat ability, you could have subdued that woman at any time and forced all the information out of this place. I understand why you didn't do that. The burden of morality is too heavy. After all, she saved your life, "Yu Yuan said calmly," But why isn't she afraid of this possibility? "
Lin Sanjiu thought about it. "Maybe she thinks that she can help me find the person, so I don't dare to do anything to her …"
However, even she couldn't convince herself of this conjecture.
"She must be confident that you can't hurt her. As the creator of the game, she is protected by this world, but the Trembling King seems to be very guarded against us, and he even used a Special Item. "Perhaps only the Veda could say such a thing with a straight face without feeling a little sour.
"I don't get it," Lin Sanjiu sighed. "I have more than one question. Don't they teleport? How did they become creators? Where did they get the ability to write? How many people are there? What is the purpose of the Queen of the Night Star? I have too many questions, but the information I can get from her is too little. "
"Then, why don't we go in and listen to what they have to say?" Yu Yuan gestured with his chin toward the House of Usher.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but laugh. "I thought the Veda wouldn't have such thoughts. I've been waiting for you to say that for a long time."
Even though Yu Yuan was no longer as powerful as he used to be, it was not difficult for the two of them to sneak into the House of Usher. At least, that was what Lin Sanjiu thought before they set off. After the two of them circled the House of Usher a few times, they finally met under a window. Then, Lin Sanjiu asked the same question, "You can't get in as well?"
"This place is not a building," Yu Yuan quickly realized the reason. He said in a low voice, "This is just a façade. Underneath is a room that looks like a concrete box. All the sky, the windows, the backyard, they didn't exist. The only entrance is that door, but only the game creator has the authority to open it. "
"Then, how do we get in?" Lin Sanjiu was worried.
Before her voice trailed off, they heard a female scream from inside the room. It was none other than the NightStar Queen. "What are you doing? Help! "
