Lin Sanjiu lowered her head and looked at the broken pieces on the ground.
Actually, she did not hear the last word that Yu Yuan uttered, "Feng".
Yu Yuan only formed the shape of his mouth and made an "F" sound. Just as the word "Feng" formed in Lin Sanjiu's mind, the communicator shattered in her hand.
If she did not react quickly and let go of the communicator in time, her hand would probably be lying limply on the ground among the broken pieces of metal, the wreckage of the circuit board, and some other parts that she did not know the name of.
It was so quiet in the lobby of the rental shop that it was as if there was no one there.
When Lin Sanjiu slowly turned her head around, Stinger began to pant softly and heavily.
Her eyes were wide open, and her pupils seemed to be frozen. She did not dare to move, especially not to look at the direction behind the reception desk. From the tip of her nose, a wound finally split open, and a small piece of skin and blood fell together, hitting the ground with a "pa" sound.
The black-haired girl that neither Lin Sanjiu nor Wasp paid much attention to when they first entered was now standing behind the reception desk. She twirled her fingers lightly.
Even Lin Sanjiu did not know how she had broken the communication device.
"What … what happened …" Wasp said shakily. Tears welled up in her eyes. "My … My nose …"
It took Lin Sanjiu almost half of her strength to suppress her tsunami-like anger and force herself to calm down. There were all kinds of medical treatments in the Twelve Worlds Centrum, and it was only a small piece of skin. Lin Sanjiu could definitely recover. Most importantly, she could not let Wasp get entangled any further.
"Let her go." Lin Sanjiu did not look at Wasp. She just stared at the black-haired girl. "She's just a guide."
'What did Yu Yuan say? ' 'What are the characteristics of Xie Feng? '
At that time, he had just come out from his memoir and was still emotionally shaken. Even though he could not speak coherently, he told Lin Sanjiu everything he knew about Xie Feng's life. Lin Sanjiu could definitely make use of his experience.
"Is that so?" Xie Feng glanced at Wasp. Compared to Lin Sanjiu, Wasp's body, muscles, and posture … seemed more relaxed.
Gu Xijiu didn't know what method she used to hide herself. Even after she showed her hand, she still looked like an ordinary evolved person, one that could be seen everywhere in the Twelve Worlds.
It was only when Lin Sanjiu focused all of her mind and higher consciousness to sense Xie Feng's presence that a soul-stirring, sharp sensation erupted from Xie Feng's body. It was as if a mountain of needles had turned into a tidal wave, rolling and crashing toward Lin Sanjiu. Wherever it passed, nothing could remain in its original state.
"Killing Genius" — that's right, Yu Yuan seemed to have used this term before.
Not a combat genius, but a slaughter genius.
However, that wasn't the same as a homicidal maniac. The other party might not kill for fun. Lin Sanjiu knew that she had to say something. At the very least, she had to let Stinger go.
"Isn't your target me?" She did her best to maintain a calm voice as she said, "Why make things difficult for a normal little girl like her who is just struggling to survive?"
If she remembered correctly, when Xie Feng was nineteen years old, he had wandered the streets for two years. He had gone through many difficult and dangerous days. Even Yu Yuan had said something similar to this more than once when he recounted it to her later on. Lin Sanjiu didn't know how Xie Feng's memory had been altered, but as long as Xie Feng could remember her wandering days, she might be able to find some compassion.
The reason why Lin Sanjiu tried so hard to let Stinger go was because she had a thought that she didn't even dare to think about. If Stinger couldn't leave, she might not have the strength to protect the tour guide.
When she faced Xie Feng, she didn't even know how much she could protect herself.
Xie Feng looked at Stinger. She didn't seem to be worried that Lin Sanjiu would launch a sneak attack on her. Suddenly, she took out a roll of gauze from somewhere and threw it to the tearful tour guide. The latter was startled.
"Let's go," Xie Feng said in a cheerful voice. "Since you have completed your mission, you can bring her here."
For a moment, Lin Sanjiu held her breath. Lin Sanjiu almost thought that Xie Feng had intentionally lured her to Xie Feng. However, when Lin Sanjiu's gaze swept across Stinger's frightened, pained, and aggrieved face, a thought suddenly struck her mind.
"You guys have been spying on her?"
Lin Sanjiu stepped aside and gestured for Stinger to leave. She stared unblinkingly at Xie Feng. "I get it now … It's about Yoo Ichiu, right?"
Xie Feng pursed her lips. Even though she didn't say anything, Lin Sanjiu was certain that it was about Yoo Ichiu based on her expression.
Even though Stinger had many questions in her mind, she didn't dare to stay any longer. Her combat ability was average, and after being hit in the nose by Xie Feng at close range, she probably realized that they weren't on the same food chain. Lin Sanjiu didn't need to say anything. She stumbled and covered her face. She knocked her shoulder against the door and hurriedly escaped.
Lin Sanjiu had to make up for the damage and shock she suffered in the future … But she probably shouldn't meet her anymore. She shouldn't be a burden to her anymore.
Once Stinger disappeared, Xie Feng glanced at Lin Sanjiu and suddenly smiled. "It seems like you care a lot about that girl," she said as if she was chatting with Lin Sanjiu. "You seem much calmer now that she's gone. Maybe I shouldn't have let her go. "
"That's not your style," Lin Sanjiu said coldly, "How long have you guys been spying on her? Are you so sure that I would ask her to bring me here? "
On the surface, it might seem like an impossible coincidence, but there were actually some inevitable connections hidden beneath the surface. Xie Feng's appearance here wasn't because she was unlucky.
After Lin Sanjiu listened to Peng Ping's explanation, she recalled that the picture he saw was a tourist advertisement. She further realized that the "tourist group" was the key link between her and the Sharks. That was why she went to look for the Stinger. She was very clear about this connection, and she was confident that the Sharks wouldn't know about it.
Her conjecture wasn't wrong. Shark wouldn't know about this connection, but Uchiha Ishii knew the last link — Stinger's poison.
He knew that Lin Sanjiu and Stinger knew each other. He even pretended to be an antidote craftsman and went to Stinger's house to look for Lin Sanjiu.
After Lin Sanjiu saw through his disguise, he could easily find out about Stinger's connection with Shark from another angle. Stinger was the tour guide for the CBD tourist group. The CBD tourist group had rented a bus from the same bus rental company. Coincidentally, Shark had rented a bus from the same rental company. Peng Ping had boarded that bus, and Peng Ping was now in Lin Sanjiu's hands.
Thus, the two chains of connection intersected.
Even if Uchiha Ishii couldn't have predicted that Lin Sanjiu would be able to guess the CBD tourist group from Peng Ping's description, it was still a strong connection that couldn't be ignored. He had to consider the possibility that Lin Sanjiu could find Shark from this angle. After all, he was Uchiha Ishii. It was in his nature to not let go of any details.
"I've only waited here for two days," Xie Feng shrugged and said, "I'm already bored to death. Uchiha Ishii, in order to be foolproof, has done a lot of preparations, but they all came to naught. I didn't expect to catch you this time. "
