"Langjun, are you hungry? Five minutes, I don't care about dinner."
When Lin Sanjiu and the man with the top hat confronted each other for the second time, the tables had turned.
There were only three people left in the man with the top hat, and one of them was severely injured. Lin Sanjiu, on the other hand, was almost at her peak form, and her strength had reached an unprecedented level. After the man who escaped exposed their whereabouts, Lin Sanjiu didn't bother to attack them anymore. She leaped onto the top of the bookshelf and sprinted down the bookshelf. Soon, she arrived in front of the man with the top hat.
Even though she didn't touch the bookshelf directly, the air flow was too fast. When Lin Sanjiu stopped abruptly, the air flow hit the bookshelf and created a puff of white smoke.
It was only then that the last syllable of the man who escaped dissipated into the air.
The man with the top hat stared at the white smoke under Lin Sanjiu's feet. Even though he didn't say anything, Lin Sanjiu could tell that he had an awful expression on his face.
"How did the skinless man's ability improve so much in just two days?"
The aura that Lin Sanjiu exuded was as deep as the abyss and as massive as a beast. The man with the top hat couldn't even breathe properly. The man with the top hat made a decision without even having to fight with her.
"Let's go!" he shouted to his left and right. At the same time, he flung a piece of grayish-white cloth into the air.
[3D Movie Set]
This was definitely not a 3D movie made for the sake of making money. The content played in front of the target would clearly recreate the effect of "another real world". It would make the target feel as if they had walked into the world of the movie. They wouldn't be able to tell which part was real and which part was fake. Whether it was used to confuse, assist, or escape, the effect was excellent.
When Lin Sanjiu saw that the man with the top hat was about to run away, she leaped down from the bookshelf and chased after them. However, something in the air seemed to have changed. Then, somehow, she caught a vine with her arm and pulled it down. She looked up in a daze and realized that she was standing in front of a dark and dense forest. It was dusk.
The tree roots protruding from the ground felt solid and real. Lin Sanjiu pushed aside the aerial roots in front of her and looked around, but she didn't see the top hat anywhere. Even though Lin Sanjiu knew that everything was an illusion, she still stopped in her tracks in a daze. It was too real. She couldn't even see the shadow of the library.
Just as she was wondering which direction to go, she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw Rena walking over from behind a few trees.
"Is this... a smokescreen?" Rena's jaw dropped. "But this effect shouldn't last long, right?"
Lin Sanjiu had no idea. After pacing back and forth for a while, she sighed helplessly.
As it turned out, the effect of the [3D Movie Set] did not last long. However, for the North Wing team, one minute and thirty seconds were more than enough time to escape.
"Hey, did you hear that? Why aren't you replying? " When the forest disappeared and the dark library returned, Reno's puzzled voice came through the communicator. It seemed that the [3D Movie Set] could even block out sounds from the outside world, "I said, the guy with the top hat ran towards the south wing. Did you hear that?"
Rena, who was still looking around, quivered and quickly responded. She then looked at Lin Sanjiu, "He has entered the south wing. Should we chase after him?"
"Just now, they thought that they were sent by the south wing as reinforcements. Now that they were in danger, they immediately ran into the south wing." Lin Sanjiu glanced at the south wing.
The south wing was shrouded in darkness. Lin Sanjiu could only vaguely make out the silhouette of the bookshelves. Even though a group of people had run into the south wing, the south wing was so quiet that it was as if there wasn't a single person there.
"Since they have teamed up, it won't be easy to deal with them." Rena thought of the woman from the south wing whom she had only heard but not seen. She felt troubled, "Forget it. There are only three of them left. I don't think they can do much."
"So, what should we do next?" Rena asked, biting her lip. Compared to before, her tone was clearly much calmer.
After the battle, even though they only had one book in their hands, both Lin Sanjiu and Rena's number had increased significantly. Rena's number had reached 21, and Lin Sanjiu's number had even reached 29. Only Reno's number had not changed.
"Let's go and find your brother first before we talk about the book," Lin Sanjiu said as she walked to the railing of the north wing. As Lin Sanjiu spoke, she walked to the railing of the north wing. "He can't move his head at the bottom. It's quite a torture …"
Before Rena could finish her sentence, they heard a slightly high-pitched and unpleasant voice coming from the west wing opposite them. It sounded as if someone was rubbing their ears, "Those aren't the people from the north wing. It seems like they really ran towards the south wing!"
"The people from the west wing have been observing us?" Lin Sanjiu and Rena were stunned. They immediately found cover and hid themselves. They pricked up their ears to listen for any movement from the opposite wing.
It seemed like other than losing one person in the battle with Silvan, the west wing did not suffer any major damage. The buzzing sounds of their conversation continued for a while in the direction of the west wing. Suddenly, a loud roar erupted, "South wing! Come out! "
The person who spoke was the leader from before. When he raised his voice, his voice was so loud that it almost pierced the eardrums of the people around him, "We agreed to form an alliance. No wonder you didn't send anyone to help us. So, you have something going on with the north wing! You better explain yourself. What is the meaning of this? "
The two southwest wing branches had indeed formed an alliance.
When Lin Sanjiu heard that, she couldn't help looking in the direction of the south wing.
That woman had unknowingly formed an alliance with the two wings without them even knowing about it. She must have some tricks up her sleeves...
However, the question from the west wing was like a stone sinking into the ocean. There was no response at all. At that moment, there was dead silence in the south wing.
"Could it be a guilty conscience?"
The unpleasant voice of the "mushroom man" cursed a few more times. However, the woman from the south wing seemed to have suddenly gone deaf. Not only did she not make a sound, she didn't even make a single sound. Just when Lin Sanjiu was feeling a little puzzled, a long scream suddenly erupted from the direction of the south wing. Then, a figure was flung into the air by some unknown force like a rag and fell straight to the ground.
A top hat spun a few times in the air before falling along with its owner.
Even if it was accompanied by a scream, the muffled sound of the broken neck and flesh hitting the ground could still be heard clearly, causing goosebumps to rise all over their bodies. In the last half of the scream, which was laced with blood, everyone could hear every word of the man in the top hat clearly, "The south wing is …"
With a splat, a small dot of light shot out from the south wing, ending the top hat's unfinished sentence along with his life.
"What is the south wing?"
Just as Lin Sanjiu was puzzled, Silvan's voice suddenly rang out from the library, "This isn't right. I remember that there were two people left in the main hall of the south wing. Those of you who have lights, use them to take a look!"
"There were two people in the main hall of the south wing?"
Since they had already split up, none of them stayed behind to monitor the situation in the central hall. When Lin Sanjiu heard Silvan's words, her heart jumped to her throat. Rena also panicked. She shouted "hello" into the communicator a few times, but she didn't receive any response from Reno. When she thought about it carefully, she realized that she didn't know when he had stopped contacting her.
As soon as Silvan finished speaking, a beam of light pierced through the darkness from his hand. The bright light illuminated a circle in the middle of the hall, attracting everyone's attention.
During the first few rounds, the glowing circle was empty. There were only a few tables and chairs that were glaringly white in the light. However, when his beam of light swept across Siri's workbench, Lin Sanjiu couldn't hold it in any longer. She let out a soft cry. "Ah!"
Reno had already come out from his hiding place. He was holding his injured shoulder as he confronted someone. However, when the beam of light shone on that person, he, along with everyone in the library, saw the person's face clearly for the first time.
The person's face was pale and he had no facial features.
