Lin Sanjiu waited in shock for a few seconds. When she saw that the white box was silent, she sent a message, "Where are you?" The moment she sent the message, Eight-Headed Druid sent her a second message. "Where are you?" Lin Sanjiu waited for a few seconds before she realized that both of them were talking to each other.
"What a coincidence …" After a few seconds, he started to pant. It was as if it was very tiring for him to find the time to send a message while he was on the run. "I'm running to you as fast as I can, but I don't know if I can get away —"
Before he could finish his sentence, the message was cut off.
"Oh no, he's not dead, is he?" After Dreadlocks heard the message, he paced back and forth in a panic. He mumbled to himself, "I thought the Eight-Headed Druid was the one who caused the mutation, but it seems like it's not that simple … Even if he's not dead, what if something happens to him on his way here? Are we going to starve to death?"
Lin Sanjiu did not say anything. She waited for a while, but the Eight-Headed Druid did not send her any more messages.
The situation was much worse than she thought. Putting aside whether the Eight-Headed Druid was still alive and whether he could arrive before he was killed, what could she do even if he did? If he stopped, the pursuer would catch up with him. Perhaps in the end, she could only watch as the Eight-Headed De was killed in front of her, and she would still be trapped and unable to move.
She had to act on the premise that the Eight-Headed Druid was on his way, but she could not pin all her hopes on the Eight-Headed Druid and wait helplessly for him to come to her rescue.
"Luckily, he knows where you are," Lin Sanjiu said as she crouched down and turned on her flashlight. She started to search the floor tiles carefully.
"He and Whiskers are the ones who arranged for me to be here. What are you doing? "
"You should take a look too," Lin Sanjiu instructed, "I was once trapped by a dimensional item … Even though I don't know much about dimensional items, based on my experience, an item and the dimensional space it creates should be inseparable. They should be connected. It stands there like a door, and we actually pass through it without meaning to. '
Dreadlocks digested the information for a while and finally understood. "Are you serious? In other words, that person left such a valuable item here? Then if we find it, it will … "
Of course, even if the item was left behind, it would be in the real world where they couldn't reach it. However, Lin Sanjiu didn't say that out loud. Dreadlocks was full of energy now. Like a sniffer dog, he began to sniff and feel around the ground.
"There must be a connection point between this walkway and the real world." Her gaze swept across the floor tiles and the black soil between the cracks of the bricks. "The connection point should also be where the items are. It's just that when we look from the inside, we might not be able to see the object itself. "
"Then how do we find him?" Dreadlocks asked. "I've seen it. Both sides are filled with bricks, dirt, dust, and debris. There's even some weeds. I can't see where the connection is."
"Keep looking. There must be traces that we don't know yet."
As Lin Sanjiu spoke, the bright flashlight in her hand shone on the overturned chair. She couldn't find anything, but she couldn't show her anxiety. Right now, she was the paper weight that held the two of them back.
This part of the road was paved with a few large, crooked bricks, which were not only out of alignment, and showed sinuous crevices in the soil, but which had suffered a great deal of shock and wear, and were grey and cracked here and there.
However, no matter how many times she looked, she couldn't find anything that shouldn't be there. Everything was as normal as the walkway in Fanjia City.
"Such a valuable item. Isn't he afraid that someone will take it? This means that the person who set the trap doesn't lack money." Dreadlocks was affected by her attitude. He calmed down a little and said, "If the person who set the trap has something to do with the mutation of ordinary people, he must have a lot of money. There are so many rare effects. How much did he spend … Why are you looking at me? "
Sometimes, people would ignore the most obvious and simple facts. Lin Sanjiu stared at him blankly for a few seconds. Suddenly, she extended her arm and patted the man with the dreadlocks on his shoulder. "You are right. You are so smart!" she said.
"Are you mocking me?" Dreadlocks asked anxiously.
"The person who caused the mutation isn't Eight-Headed Druid," Lin Sanjiu ignored him. When she looked at the floor and the walls again, she said, "The reason is as you said. It's very simple. He can't afford it. He even spent a lot of effort to get the money to hire people to patrol. "
When they first met on Spaceship No.26, Eight-Headed Druid was even willing to help her deceive the spaceship's pilot to earn some money. At that time, they were strangers. If Lin Sanjiu didn't really need money, Eight-Headed Druid wouldn't look for trouble.
As a person with limited resources and a resident of the Twelve Worlds who rarely left the Twelve Worlds, where could he find so many rare effects?
Dreadlocks thought for a while. "If you look at it from this angle … Yes, Eight-Headed Druid doesn't have much money. That's weird. If he has nothing to do with the mutation, why does he keep doing suspicious things? "
Lin Sanjiu could only ask Eight-Headed Druid about this.
If he could make it there alive and release them, Lin Sanjiu would have no choice but to ask Eight-Headed Druid.
Lin Sanjiu suppressed the anxiety that rose in her heart again. She didn't know how many times she had searched the floor tiles, walls, and ceiling, but she couldn't find anything.
In fact, even if she found the item, she didn't know if Eight-Headed Druid would be able to keep it. After all, wasn't Peng Ping still trapped in the cup on her spaceship?
"No matter what, let's find it first." Dreadlocks was more interested in the item itself than he was in escaping. He probably felt that no matter who the mastermind was or who the conflict was, a small fry like him would not be the first to bear the brunt of it. "If we find it, we can at least try when Eight-Headed Druid comes. If we can't, we can only watch him get killed."
"These floor tiles remind me of the red brick wall under the layer of smoke," Lin Sanjiu sighed. She scanned the floor with her flashlight again and explained, "The cracks on the red brick wall formed human figures with different postures. If you look at them for a long time, you will slowly mimic them … Even though I was lucky enough to escape, I still don't know what's going on."
Dreadlocks' mouth formed an "O" shape. "It can't be? You went into the layer of smoke before? "
"Yes … I got quite a shock in the layer of smoke. Now, when I look at these cracks, I can't help but look for human faces and shapes in the cracks," Lin Sanjiu pointed to a brick a few steps away. Lin Sanjiu pointed at the brick a few steps away and said, "The crack over there looks like a diagonal line, but if you look at it together with the crack on the next brick, doesn't it look like an eye?"
"Yes, it looks like an eye." Dreadlocks looked at it for a few seconds. He seemed to have noticed something wrong with Lin Sanjiu's expression. "What's wrong with you? What did you find? "
Lin Sanjiu focused her flashlight on the "eye". Then, she slowly shifted it to the floor tile in front of her feet.
"I think," Lin Sanjiu said. Her voice was trembling with excitement. "I think I found the connecting point."
A few steps away from her, there were two bricks that formed a "human eye" that was slanted at a 45-degree angle. Coincidentally, there was also half a "human eye" on the floor tile next to her feet. The angle, length, and position of the crack were exactly the same as the upper part of the "human eye" a few steps away. The only difference was that the lower part of the "eye" with the eyeball had disappeared and was replaced by a completely unfamiliar floor tile.
"I understand now," Lin Sanjiu murmured. "I know how this item works."
"W-what?" Dreadlocks still didn't understand.
The section of the walkway in the real world could be divided into three sections, A, B, and C. Dreadlocks' chair was A, which was the starting point in the real world. The place where the trap was set was B, which was the middle point. After crossing B, C would be the walkway created by the item.
"The walkway created by the item looks exactly the same as the real walkway. That's why we can walk into it without any suspicion, right?" Lin Sanjiu quickly explained, "In other words, this item replicates a section of the walkway in the real world. Which section is it replicating? Naturally, it's the section from B to C. "
Dreadlocks blinked his eyes a few times. "Then?"
"Then, it needs to connect the copied section of the city tunnel space to the end of the A-B section of the city tunnel. What kind of result will you get from this? "Lin Sanjiu asked excitedly.
Dreadlocks was stunned for a moment. He looked at the floor again and finally came to his senses. "I got it!"
If he kept the section A to B and added the section B to C, it would become A-B-B-C.
"Point B appeared twice!" He craned his neck and stared at the "human eye" a few steps away. "The upper half of the eye repeated twice, which means that it is at the first point B, which is where the 'door' is, right?"
Looking out from the inside of the walkway, there was nothing on the floor.
"This is amazing. As expected of a good item. When I walked over there, I didn't feel anything wrong with my feet …"
While Dreadlocks was mumbling to himself, Lin Sanjiu took out her little white box again.
"Eight Heads," she stared at the "human eye" and said to the little white box, "If you can hear me, please hold on no matter what. As long as you can get to me, I have a way to help you get rid of your pursuer. I can even get the person who is after you to fall into my hands. "
Through reading chapter 1742, we have learned that everything a person has experienced in the past will become a valuable asset in their future life. It teaches us to cherish time and live in the present.
