[This chapter will be finished very soon.]
Rena did not know that Lin Sanjiu had scanned through the windows of the building with her higher consciousness. Lin Sanjiu had already seen the fight between Rena and Hannie.
However, even though Lin Sanjiu saw Rena taking the attack head-on, she couldn't do anything. The lobby of the first floor of the bank was so dark that she couldn't even see her own fingers. Hence, Lin Sanjiu's scan wasn't very clear. Every second, she had to be on guard against Derik's possible attack.
Lin Sanjiu heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Rena struggling to get up from the ground. Then, she turned her attention back to her surroundings.
She had been in the bank for quite some time now, but not only did she not see any sign of Derik's ability, she didn't even know where he was.
Ever since Lin Sanjiu entered the lobby of the bank, all the windows and doors seemed to have melted into the darkness. If she didn't see the windows in her scan, she would have thought that she had been thrown into another dimension. However, no matter which direction she walked in, even if she walked straight for a few minutes, she could only see darkness. She couldn't find the door that she had entered from.
This was the real reason why she couldn't go and help Rena.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help feeling a little anxious. However, at that moment, the higher consciousness scan in her mind suddenly shook twice without warning. Then, it went black. When it lit up again, the scene in front of her had changed.
At that moment, there was a warm orange light a few steps away from her. Compared to the surrounding darkness, the orange light was a little conspicuous.
Under the orange light, a family of three was sitting upright. They looked as if they were taking a family portrait. They had a slightly stiff smile on their faces.
This was a very normal family. The father was a middle-aged man with a gentle face. His petite wife was hugging his arm. In front of them was a boy of about eight or nine years old. He was fidgeting in his chair absent-mindedly. He seemed to be impatient to sit with his parents and take a photo.
However, the environment they were in was too abnormal.
In the pitch-black hall of the bank, only this strange light illuminated the family. Within their reach, there was only darkness. A small circle of light was surrounded by darkness. However, the family did not seem to notice it at all. The mother reached out and patted her restless son on the shoulder. Then, the family of three adjusted their expressions and looked up together with a smile.
He was looking directly at Lin Sanjiu.
She shivered uncontrollably.
As if they were summoned by something, more and more people appeared in the scanning range.
Not all parents with children, but young couples, groups of friends, or elderly couples with grandchildren; everyone looked full of life and reality--except for the fact that their circumstances were not quite right.
Everyone was immersed in the thick, black darkness?
However, his expression was very cheerful, as if he was taking a walk in the park or drinking tea at home.
"Are they duoluozhong?" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help asking in her mind, but Mrs. Manas naturally couldn't answer that question. She only reminded him worriedly, "Don't show off.
You must be careful. Even though your higher consciousness is strong, it can change its shape.
However, it doesn't mean that you are immune to all attacks. "
Indeed, an attack with high damage was equally effective against Lin Sanjiu. If Derik didn't use "Mount Tai Crusher",
If Derik hadn't used "Mount Tai Crush", Lin Sanjiu would probably be in a wounded state.
She cautiously kept her distance from the people around her and slowly walked a few steps along the corner.
She walked a few steps along the corner and decided to observe her surroundings.
However, even a simple movement like this...
Became very difficult in just two to three minutes.
More and more people gradually appeared from the darkness. They gathered in groups of twos and threes. Some of them were family members, some seemed to be friends.
Some were talking in low voices.
Some were not moving. Their numbers were increasing.
Soon, the limited space was filled to the brim.
There were figures standing at every corner. How could one move around the perimeter?
She didn't want to meet these strange people.
It had almost become an impossible task.
As more and more people appeared, Lin Sanjiu became more and more nervous. She stared intently at her Higher Consciousness scanning image, fearing that she would miss any movement. However, she was surprised that after a long while, these people did not seem to have any intention of attacking her.
What was he doing? She thought doubtfully.
When the number of people in the scanned image reached two to three hundred?
Derik's voice suddenly came out of nowhere.
The buzzing reverberated in the vast space formed by the four walls.
It was as if it had been magnified countless times by the loudspeaker?
It was so loud that it hurt their ears.
"Welcome to my domain — I call it the House of Refinement. From now on, I advise you to follow the rules of this space … Perhaps you might have a chance to survive. "
Rules? What rules?
Just as Lin Sanjiu was stunned and was about to write something, Derik's voice suddenly stopped. "Whoosh!"
There was no more sound. Following that, the two people standing not far from her moved.
It was a young couple holding hands. Both of them looked like students. They suddenly turned their heads and looked at Lin Sanjiu expressionlessly. Then, they took a few steps forward and stood in front of Lin Sanjiu.
"You have ten seconds," the taller boy said calmly and numbly. "Find out which one of us is Derik." Lin Sanjiu was startled.
Lin Sanjiu was startled. Before she could react to the questions in her mind, she heard the girl beside her counting down, "10, 9, 8 …"
Every second passed by quickly. In the blink of an eye, Lin Sanjiu had already counted to 4. However, she still had no clue what would happen after the countdown ended. In a moment of desperation, Lin Sanjiu pointed at the girl.
No matter which one she guessed, there was a 50% chance of success. She might as well make a wild guess.
The girl, whose nose was pointed at by the finger bone, froze when she reached "2". She then smiled.
"Am I right?"
Before Lin Sanjiu could retract her hand, she suddenly felt a black shadow appear in front of her. It was aimed at her eye socket. She was caught off guard and dodged to the side in a fluster. She felt the black shadow graze her temple and the force of the attack was extremely strong.
At this moment, the girl's voice rang out, "You guessed wrong."
The tall boy who attacked Lin Sanjiu did not reveal his original appearance. When he saw that Lin Sanjiu had dodged his attack, he pulled out a long knife from behind his waist and thrust it forward, aiming for Lin Sanjiu's abdomen. After the girl finished her sentence, she finished her sentence.
After the girl finished her sentence, she took two steps back and disappeared into the darkness.
At this moment, Lin Sanjiu had calmed down from the attack from the taller boy's long knife. Relying on her strong body, she raised the back of her hand and hit the back of the knife. She had secretly used some of her strength in that attack. As expected, a few cracks appeared on the back of the knife. Then, the knife broke into a few pieces and fell to the ground with a clatter.
"This kind of attack is not as powerful as when we fight outside!" She said in her heart. She made a feint with her left hand, as if she was going to attack the taller boy's abdomen. When the taller boy turned his body in the opposite direction, Lin Sanjiu's right leg followed him like a shadow. She kicked the taller boy in the waist.
After her successful attack, Lin Sanjiu did not continue fighting. She took a few steps back. She did not forget that she was in a strange situation.
However, after the taller boy got up from the ground, he pounced on her again as if he could not feel any pain. Just when Lin Sanjiu was about to counterattack, she heard another voice from the darkness beside her, "You have ten seconds to tell which one of us is Derik."
Lin Sanjiu was startled. When she turned around, she realized that the family of three who had taken the family portrait had already arrived beside her. Everyone had a calm expression on their faces. One could even say that they were gloomy. The boy opened his mouth and counted, "10, 9 …"
