"Marcie," Lin Sanjiu controlled her facial muscles and tried her best to speak in an amiable tone, "Come here. I want to ask you, did you see my silver bottle?"
When Marcie mentioned the silver bottle, the first thing that came to her mind was the Ability Polishing Agent. Marcie didn't move and replied with a puzzled expression, "Didn't I leave it on the sofa?" As she spoke, she patted Kong Yun's back.
Since she left with Kong Yun, she had no choice but to leave the Ability Polishing Agent upstairs. Lin Sanjiu was aware of this fact...
Lin Sanjiu slapped her thigh in an exaggerated manner, "Oh my god! I forgot to take it! "She turned to Kong Yun and smiled," It's all my fault for having such a bad memory. I'll ask them to accompany me upstairs. Big Sister Kong, can you wait here alone for a while? "
Kong Yun was stunned.
Before Kong Yun could say anything, Lin Sanjiu had already pulled Luther to the door. Lin Sanjiu turned to Marcie and waved at her, "Come on, I'm scared if there's no one around."
Marcie was a little confused, but she didn't think too much about it. She followed Marcie out of the door.
"Sister Kong, don't be afraid. We will be down very soon..." Lin Sanjiu forced a smile as she pulled the door open.
Kong Yun sat in the living room and looked at Lin Sanjiu expressionlessly.
As the door slammed shut, Kong Yun's face was covered by darkness.
Just as the door was closed, Lin Sanjiu turned and ran upstairs. The other two hurriedly followed, confused. Luther was the first to react. He said in a low voice, "What's wrong? Did you notice something wrong? "
"I... I hope I'm just overthinking!" Lin Sanjiu's voice trembled as she took big strides. "Let me go up first to confirm something..."
Within a few minutes, the three of them had run up to the top floor. Lin Sanjiu's heart raced. She didn't even have time to catch her breath. She pushed the door open and rushed into the apartment on the 38th floor.
The house was pitch black. "Give me a lighter!" Lin Sanjiu yelled.
Luther threw the lighter in a parabola. The moment it landed in her hand, it lit up with a click. The orange-red flames brightly illuminated a small area.
There were four bowls on the dining table.
Luther and Marcie looked at each other and involuntarily looked at the spot where Lin Sanjiu had lit up.
"Huh …?" Marther noticed the abnormality before Luther did. "Why isn't she —"
Just now, they had finished their porridge in the dark, got up and left, so no one noticed anything strange. When he took a closer look, he realized that something was wrong. Of the four bowls on the table, three of them had a small pile of chicken bones and skin. It looked like a mess. Only the bowl that Kong Yun had used was empty.
"Well, it doesn't really matter. Maybe she just likes to eat chicken bones." Just as these words entered Luther's throat, he saw Lin Sanjiu pick up Kong Yun's bowl with a serious expression. Lin Sanjiu's gaze swept across the bowl, and he was instantly rendered speechless.
In the scorching Hyperthermal Hell, even though they had evolved, they were still slightly dehydrated. That was why the three of them needed to replenish themselves with water from time to time. Even though they owned a supermarket, every drop of water was extremely precious to them. Naturally, they finished the porridge without leaving a single drop.
However, Kong Yun's bowl was mostly filled with white, sparkling porridge.
Lin Sanjiu stirred the porridge with a spoon and found that the porridge was completely cleaned out. Not even a grain of rice was left. The chicken pieces that were cooked in the porridge were also gone. Only the most precious water in the new world was left behind by Kong Yun, not a single drop missing.
"Why … Why isn't she drinking water?" Luther frowned. He bit his red lips so hard that a line appeared.
Lin Sanjiu didn't look too good. If she didn't guess wrongly, Kong Yun was much more difficult to deal with than any duoluozhong. She enunciated each word clearly, "She lied. She must have developed at least one advanced ability … and if there are no surprises, I have a rough idea of what her ability is. "
Chicken, rice, plants, goldfish, vegetables in the fridge …
Lin Sanjiu put down the bowl of porridge and looked at Luther and Marcie. Her voice was a little heavy. "Kong Yun's ability is probably to turn all forms of life into the nutrients she needs to survive. I'm guessing that as long as she touches her target, she will be able to completely absorb the target without making any noise. How long did it take us to eat? All the grains of rice and chicken disappeared as if they never existed! "
Marcie sucked in a breath of cold air and said, "… All life forms? She can absorb them just by touching them? This isn't just an ability for survival. If this ability is used in battle … "
She would definitely die if she touches it.
"But that doesn't explain why she doesn't drink water, right?" Luther's face turned pale when he recalled how they had bumped into each other as they went down the stairs.
"Maybe her ability has changed her body so that she can't absorb water like us. For her, all the water and nutrients she needs must be absorbed from other life forms." Lin Sanjiu didn't know why she was so sure, but she was very sure of it.
"We have been with her for half a day … If she was hostile, the three of us wouldn't be alive now, right?" Marcie muttered.
Lin Sanjiu nodded. This was what she wanted to say, and it was also a glimmer of hope in her heart.
What she was afraid of was …
Just as the thought surfaced in her mind, before she could say it out loud, Kong Yun's voice came from the darkness again, "Why did you guys take so long just to get something?"
The three of them froze. "Took a long time?" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help looking at the time on her digital watch.
From the time they went upstairs until now, it had only taken them ten minutes. "Why is Kong Yun following us so closely?"
When Marcie saw that the other two were in a daze, she quickly raised her voice and said, "Wait at the door, we will come out soon."
Kong Yun replied with an "oh", but she acted as if she didn't hear anything as she slowly dragged her feet into the house.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.
Marcie forced a smile, "Hey, we are going out now. You don't have to come in …"
Kong Yun said softly, "I'm afraid of being alone, so I like to stay with others. You guys don't mind, right?" As she said that, she walked closer to the three of them and smiled at them. Then, she reached out to hold Marcie's arm.
Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. Just when she was about to stop Marcie, Luther had already pulled Marcie away from Kong Yun. His speed was so fast that he could only be seen as a shadow.
Marcie had just steadied herself when Luther growled, "What are you trying to do?!" His voice was filled with indignation. This was the first time Lin Sanjiu had seen this fair-skinned and delicate teenager so angry. "You have already developed your ability, right? We all know about it! Tell us, why do you keep pestering us? "
"Ah …" Kong Yun seemed to be in a daze and couldn't react for a moment. After a while, she said embarrassedly, "There is indeed something wrong with my body … I didn't dare to tell you at first because I was afraid that you would be afraid of me. So, you already know about it … "
Marcie looked at her cautiously and asked cautiously, "You … don't have any intention of harming us, right?"
Lin Sanjiu suddenly felt a little gloomy. Marcie was a good person, but sometimes, she was too trusting. If Kong Yun really had bad intentions, would she tell her honestly?
"Harming you?" Kong Yun was stunned for a moment. Then, she said something that Lin Sanjiu didn't expect, "No, no, no. One is enough. I don't want to absorb three people. That would be too cruel."
Her words were like a stop button that froze the air.
Looking at their shocked faces, Kong Yun seemed to have made up her mind. She sighed and said, "Actually, I don't want to absorb living people, but my body is too weak. I have absorbed everything in my house, even the security guard downstairs. But, I still feel weak, so weak that I feel uncomfortable … "
Lin Sanjiu didn't know if she should laugh or be angry.
Kong Yun probably saw Lin Sanjiu's expression. She wiped her tears, "When I first saw you, I didn't think about absorbing people at all. But, the longer it took, the more I couldn't take it anymore … Tell me, if you could save your life by killing one person, would you do it? "
Lin Sanjiu didn't really intend to listen to their answers. She immediately raised a finger and pleaded, "I just want to absorb one person … Really, just one!"
"Marcie, Luther, didn't you two just meet her yesterday? You are just acquaintances … "A maniacal smile appeared on Kong Yun's face," Without this girl, you can still live your lives. You won't lose anything. "
"You sure have arranged it well for us," Lin Sanjiu laughed coldly. Lin Sanjiu sneered. She did not look at Luther and Marcie's expressions, but a raging fire burned in her heart.
When Kong Yun heard that, she turned to look at Lin Sanjiu, "Miss, I understand now that your boyfriend isn't with you. You guys are just fooling around. You don't understand the relationship between me and my husband … I can't die. Even if everyone in the world dies, I can't die. I want to wait for my husband to come home … "
Luther couldn't take it anymore. He scolded, "Cut the crap. If you want to eat people, go back to your hometown and eat yourself!"
Lin Sanjiu felt relieved. She turned to the two people beside her and smiled.
Just when she was about to turn around, her gaze swept across her bedroom door. A thought suddenly flashed through her mind. Before she realized it, she blurted out a question, "Kong Yun, did you say that when you woke up last night, only his pajamas were left on the bed?"
"Yes, why …" Halfway through her sentence, Kong Yun saw Lin Sanjiu's expression. Her face immediately turned deathly pale.
