Lin Sanjiu sat on the roof of a tall building. She looked down at the aircraft that was parked between two energy columns.
She sat down at dusk. At that time, the energy columns cast a long, slanted shadow on the ground. It was as if the shadow wanted to leave home and see the world. Now, the shadow had long disappeared into the darkness. In the dark, there was only a small green light on the energy columns. Occasionally, a few passersby would come over to take care of their business.
Some people chose to extract solar energy, some chose to use microparticles to enhance their energy, and there were also people who did not like good food or could not afford to eat. Hence, they chose to extract calories. Among the various types of energy provided by the energy columns, the calories that supported the human body was one of the cheapest.
The person who bought the calories had his back hunched and his arms crossed. His tattered clothes hung on his body. Before he left, he kicked an empty can on the ground.
"He must have never experienced or heard of Meat Elysium," Lin Sanjiu thought.
Meat Elysium was the cheapest and most basic means of survival in the Twelve Worlds. If she had used it in Meat Elysium, she would have suffered a lot less. However, she would not have entered Harry's Farm and met Cyrus for the energy columns.
In the dark sky, the wind was cold and the dew was heavy. The chill was bone-chilling. She pulled her coat tighter and continued to stare at the silent aircraft.
She had been waiting here for at least four to five hours.
Not long after nightfall, Lin Sanjiu stood up and walked to the other side of the roof. She looked at the strange lights that were unique to the Twelve Worlds. When she returned, she saw a figure walking toward the aircraft. Everyone had that kind of moment, right? Because he was too eager to see something, when something similar appeared, even if he knew logically that it wasn't his goal, his heart still thumped hard.
At that time, Lin Sanjiu almost called out "Cyrus".
However, it was just a stranger. He looked around the aircraft and walked away while clicking his tongue.
Lin Sanjiu tapped her fingers on the "Beacon Smoke" communicator. Her fingernails made a soft sound. While she was lost in thought, she seemed to hear Xie Feng's voice again.
"Don't let your imagination run wild," when Xie Feng walked out of the rental agency with Lin Sanjiu, Xie Feng couldn't stand Xie Feng's incessant nagging. Finally, Xie Feng squeezed out a few words from her mouth, "I didn't come all the way back just to kill myself. Just take it as a hint from me. "
She did not seem to want to continue the conversation with Lin Sanjiu. She glanced at the white box and asked before Lin Sanjiu could say anything, "Aren't you going to throw it away? I've already said that 'Beacon Fire' might be one of the projects invested in by the Shark Department. "
If that was the case, then the connection between them and the Eight-Headed Sanjiu must have been monitored by the shark … Even though Lin Sanjiu didn't know why the shark didn't do anything to the Eight-Headed Sanjiu despite knowing the location of the Eight-Headed Sanjiu, she knew one thing for sure — it was too late to throw away the white box now.
Furthermore, the signal device under her skin was malfunctioning, and the communicator given by her grand prize was broken. No matter how unsafe "Beacon Fire" was, she couldn't throw it away. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to contact the Eight-Headed Sanjiu and Yu Yuan again.
As for Cyrus … Since they might already be under surveillance, keeping it a secret was no longer important. The most important thing was to ensure the safety of each other.
After Xie Feng left, Lin Sanjiu immediately opened the white box.
However, no matter who she tried to contact, the only response she got was silence. It was as if her reunion with Cyrus, her acquaintance with the Eight-Headed Sanjiu, and her conversation with Yu Yuan were all a hallucination.
She even took out the paper crane, which was the least secretive of all. It flapped its wings and flew up into the air. It circled twice in the air, as if trying to find out where Cyrus was. Then, it fell back into her hand.
"No," Lin Sanjiu thought. "He might be trapped in a dimension or a pocket dimension."
After she put the paper crane away, she suddenly felt that it was too cold to walk on the clouds at night. Even if she put on a coat, she couldn't stop the chill from seeping into her skin. She returned to the place where Cyrus parked his aircraft. Since Cyrus couldn't contact her, he would probably return to the only place that both of them knew.
The longer Lin Sanjiu waited, the colder it became. The longer she waited, the fewer people she saw. However, Cyrus didn't show up.
He was such a cautious and agile person. He was good at fighting and had a lot of items. Who could harm him?
Lin Sanjiu buried her face in her hands and exhaled a long, warm breath. Then, she stood up from the roof.
"Have you made up your mind?" Mrs. Manas asked, sensing her thoughts.
She had made up her mind.
Lin Sanjiu leaped down from the roof as if she was stepping on the night wind. She stretched out her long legs and glided forward with the wind. In just a few blinks of an eye, she had already left the aircraft far behind her. She had seen where the commercial center of the residential area was on her way here. She found the right direction and rushed out as fast as she could.
Perhaps, when Xie Feng gave her the warning, he didn't think that it would cause such a consequence.
The shark faction had been monitoring the communication between them and the Eight-Headed Druid. Perhaps, they didn't want to alert the enemy and were waiting for an opportunity, so they didn't make a move. However, when Xie Feng gave Lin Sanjiu a warning at the rental store, the shark faction immediately cut off the communication between the three of them when they found out that the "Beacon Smoke" was exposed. Was it to split up and attack them separately or had they already defeated one of them?
"The shark faction has made a huge mistake."
After searching for about ten minutes in the business district, Lin Sanjiu found a round-cabin aircraft with the word "TAXI" on its head. When she jumped into the rental aircraft, she wished that it was also sent by the shark faction.
She mumbled to Mrs. Manas in her mind, "I've been very careful and disguised myself. I wanted to gather as much information as I could from the shadows. I didn't want to fight them head-on because I had my own concerns. I was afraid that I would cause too much commotion and affect the people around me.
"Who do I need to worry about now? Who do I have left? Without the Eight-Headed Druid, I can't even contact Yu Yuan. The time to test the waters is over. I need to rush out of the smog and park Exodus at the top of Fanjia City to announce my location to the entire Walkabout Clouds. I need to do everything I can to break every single one of the shark faction's tentacles. No matter who is behind it, it's time for them to show themselves. "
Actually, I often write outlines, but to be honest, I've never written anything exactly the same as the outline. The highest deviation I've ever written was 100%. The contents of the outline were completely useless. This time, it was okay. The deviation was at most 20%. The parts that were out of line were the parts where I got stuck.
