The distance between the spot where Lin Sanjiu released the "seed" and the spot where the old lady was standing was only about three to four meters.
To a posthuman like Lin Sanjiu, a distance of three to four meters wouldn't even take a blink of an eye. However, to Lin Sanjiu, this distance was too long. It was long enough for anything to happen.
The first incident happened when "Seed" was halfway to her target. In a split second, Lin Sanjiu found herself staring into the eyes of the old woman. The skin on the old woman's sagging cheeks puffed up slightly as if she was laughing. Lin Sanjiu didn't even notice when the old woman's head turned around on her neck.
"That's right. Since it's formed by Higher Consciousness, it can twist its head however it wants."
Everything happened too fast. Before Lin Sanjiu could see what was going on, the second incident happened.
It seemed that at the same time Lin Sanjiu made her move, the other old women also charged at her at high speed. The speed of a higher consciousness form was incomparable to that of a human. Just as Lin Sanjiu realized this, the old shoes had already surrounded her.
At this moment, "Seed" was still on her way. She had yet to meet the old woman who had turned her head around to look at her. Lin Sanjiu only heard the screams of the crowd now.
"Higher Consciousness," Mrs. Manas' voice flashed across her mind like a hallucination. "All of the old women are using Higher Consciousness!"
When Lin Sanjiu saw that the old woman didn't move, but the ordinary person who was trying to escape flew in the opposite direction, Lin Sanjiu had a hunch that the old woman was using Higher Consciousness. Not only could the old woman split her Higher Consciousness into a human form, she could also use her Higher Consciousness in the human form. Now, it was Lin Sanjiu's turn to be trapped in the center of the wave of Higher Consciousness attacks.
It was too late for Lin Sanjiu to run or evade. Just as Lin Sanjiu made up her mind, more than ten waves of attacks landed on her body. Her [Defense Forcefield] immediately flickered as if it was hit by a storm. Lin Sanjiu felt as if she had turned into a piece of bread that had fallen into the water. Countless fishes were tearing her apart.
She also understood that this move only bought her a few more breaths of time. [Defense Force Field] would not last long before it was broken. This was because every attack of the old women was aimed at killing — as long as she died, the restrictions she placed on them would also disappear. The old women naturally preferred the simplest and most convenient method.
She was now surrounded in the middle and had just blocked the first wave of attacks. Who knew what else these old women could do with their Higher Consciousness?
Even with the [Defense Forcefield], Lin Sanjiu still felt as if her bones and organs had been crushed by the force of the impact. While Lin Sanjiu was gritting her teeth, one of the old ladies suddenly let out a cry of surprise. Lin Sanjiu immediately sensed that the "seed" had finally found its target. Sure enough, it swallowed the "seed" in one gulp.
She had taken in another old woman!
"What happened?" one of the old women screamed in a hoarse voice.
"She disappeared all of a sudden!" another one yelled in exasperation.
"Is it because of her Higher Consciousness?" The voices of the old women were all jumbled up. It was as if the thoughts of a real person had turned into a reaction in their bodies.
While the old women were confused and confused, Lin Sanjiu seized the opportunity and leaped forward again. The "seed" pounced on the old woman closest to her.
However, this time, the old woman was on guard. She hurriedly retreated, causing the people in the storeroom to scream and flee. She turned her head again, wanting to change her target. However, she realized that the old women had already retreated far away in the blink of an eye. She could no longer reach them.
Lin Sanjiu cursed inwardly, but she knew that she had to give up.
The old women were busy distancing themselves from her, so this was a great opportunity. She stomped her feet and leaped into the air like a wild goose flipping through the air. Her body spun in the air, and her Higher Consciousness formed a long rope in her hand. She shot it out of the storeroom and wrapped it around the railing of the observation deck.
As the rope shortened, Lin Sanjiu was pulled out of the storeroom. While she was in midair, she wiped her face with her other hand and retrieved her [Facial Hair].
The old women were not only fast, but they could also react in different ways at the same time. Some of them quickly released their Higher Consciousness to attack Lin Sanjiu's "rope". Some of them chased after Lin Sanjiu. Some of them used their Higher Consciousness to stop Lin Sanjiu in midair. Some of them even used their Higher Consciousness to threaten the people in the storeroom not to escape during the chaos.
However, they were slower than Lin Sanjiu.
Lin Sanjiu, who had fully recovered her combat ability, immediately twisted her body and jumped over the railing the moment she landed on the observation deck. Lin Sanjiu did not waste any time.
Even though she wanted to use the "seeds" to capture a few more old women, she knew that she only succeeded because she caught them off guard. Now that the old women were on their guard, she knew that she was no match for them with her Higher Consciousness. If she didn't leave now, she might not be able to escape.
In fact, with the old women's skills and speed, even if Lin Sanjiu ran at full speed, she wasn't confident that she could escape unscathed. Just as the thought appeared in her mind, she saw a blur from the corner of her eyes. She turned her head and saw four old women running at the same pace as her a few meters away from her. They were just outside the range of the "seeds".
"Amazing," one of them puffed up her cheeks and smiled at her, "I can't believe that a little worm can capture one of my Higher Consciousness forms …"
"It's a pity that your combat ability and Higher Consciousness aren't that impressive. With your level, I have many ways to deal with you."
No, the reason why the owner of the ability only sent four old women to chase after Lin Sanjiu and didn't dare to get too close was probably because he was afraid that she would take advantage of the chaos to capture more Higher Consciousness forms. Besides, if he really had no scruples, he could just attack her directly. "What are you talking about?"
"Hand over that Higher Consciousness form and I will let you live."
As expected, they didn't dare to attack her for fear of harming her. Lin Sanjiu's mind worked quickly. She scanned her surroundings. At that moment, she was flying through an unfamiliar circular hall. A narrow corridor appeared in front of her. Once she entered the corridor, the old women would no longer be able to walk beside her. Perhaps, she could make use of the distance between them to escape.
"Let me ask you," the last old woman asked expressionlessly, "Have you ever been to Meat Elysium?"
Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat, but her expression betrayed her thoughts. Almost at the same time, the four old women had a look of realization on their faces.
"So it's you," one of the old women said. "How did you capture it?"
"If you give me back my Higher Consciousness form and answer my questions, I will consider sparing your life," the old woman said hoarsely.
Lin Sanjiu could dash into the corridor with just one leap. The corridor could only fit two people at a time. It was long and narrow. The old women would have to stop at the end of the corridor and put some distance between them and her "seed". A few seconds was more than enough for Lin Sanjiu to escape.
"But, why is the old woman talking to me so slowly?"
"Something's not right," Mrs. Manas said hurriedly. Alarm bells rang in Lin Sanjiu's mind.
She twisted her body at the end of the corridor and rolled to the other side. The [Defense Forcefield] on her body glowed brightly. The moment she brushed past the old woman, Lin Sanjiu sensed that someone had placed a "big flower" at the end of the corridor. The flower opened its mouth and tore off a large piece of her [Defense Forcefield] the moment she got close.
It seemed that the old woman had figured out that Lin Sanjiu would use the corridor to get rid of her pursuers.
Since Lin Sanjiu had nowhere to run, she had no choice but to run back the way she came.
"You sure know how to run," the old women said in unison. "But, how long can you run?"
Indeed, as long as the old women knew where Lin Sanjiu was going, they could set up a trap in advance. Lin Sanjiu would be lucky if she could be caught alive. The only way to escape was to escape to a place that the old women couldn't think of.
When she saw the blue sky outside the Solo Lookout Station, she took a deep breath.
With the help of the [Mosaic Censorship], Lin Sanjiu jumped out of the broken cabin window and into the sky.
