Lin Sanjiu was probably the only person in the entire pocket dimension who would listen to the gossip of the Pocket Creature lady.
The Pocket Creature lady had a lot to say.
"For a single mother who just graduated, traveling is naturally an extravagant luxury."
Lin Sanjiu, who was thinking about how to fulfill this contradictory request, raised her head when she heard that.
The Pocket Creature lady smiled, "At that time, I couldn't work full-time, so I had to work in a restaurant. During the night shift, I would leave my child at a neighbor's house. There was a river outside the restaurant. At night, the lights along the riverbank were all lit up, and the ripples on the surface of the river glowed. Many people were rowing their boats slowly past the entrance of the restaurant. At that time, I thought that if I could get on a boat and swim all the way to the ocean, I wonder what kind of scenery I would see. "
She sighed. "After that, when I was in my thirties, I finally got my first official job. I started off by answering phones and doing odd jobs, and I slowly worked my way up … Until the last day, I had only been to the few cities I had been to on business trips. Even if I just wanted to see other places with my own eyes, it would be good. "
"If I just want to" see "…" Lin Sanjiu thought for a while and asked, "Can you walk slowly for me to see?"
The Pocket Creature lady didn't seem to be surprised by any request. She walked in front of Lin Sanjiu and took a slow step forward. When her front heel touched the ground, she shifted her center of gravity forward and raised her other foot. She looked no different from a normal human walking. Her foot was always in contact with the ground.
Lin Sanjiu's heart started pounding.
The Pocket Creature lady seemed to read Lin Sanjiu's mind from her expression. She smiled and asked, "You have an idea, right?"
Could it be that her requests were based on the abilities of the posthumans in the pocket dimension?
As long as one of her feet was in contact with the ground, it meant that she was still in the pocket dimension. Coincidentally, Lin Sanjiu had a way to experience the world in one step.
Lin Sanjiu stretched out her hand and said, "Come, hold my hand. Can you do the same movement as me? "
The Pocket Creature lady nodded.
"If we are going to depart now, I want to go to the seaside first," she said as she held Lin Sanjiu's hand. It was as cold as a rock. She watched as Lin Sanjiu slowly lifted one of her feet. Maintaining the same speed and range, she took a step forward.
Brahman and his ability to travel through space were activated.
When each of them had one foot on the dungeon floor, the foot that was in the air and had yet to touch the ground felt as if it had walked into thousands of gradually blooming fireworks. It also felt as if it had stepped through layers of space and created countless ripples. When the ripples spread out, a new world would open up in front of them and gently swallow them. When they passed through countless worlds, countless worlds passed through them as well.
The strange thing was, even though Lin Sanjiu didn't know how to control the destination they were traveling to, the first layer of space they were in was indeed a sea. There were faint purple waves under the pink sunset, and the shadows of palm trees stood erect in the setting sun.
"How nice."
Lin Sanjiu thought she heard the Pocket Creature lady say something from afar.
A cliff covered with green grass and the medieval castle on top of it welcomed the two of them. In the blink of an eye, they saw a few "people from the future" in silvery-white jumpsuits pressing buttons on a communication station that looked like a prop for a drama. It looked like a sci-fi movie from the 90s. When Lin Sanjiu turned her head again, she realized that it was really a sci-fi movie. Not far away from them, there was a large family of three sitting on a sofa. Their gazes fell on them through the screen.
The number of worlds that passed through them increased. The Pocket Creature lady let out a long sigh of satisfaction.
No matter how miraculous her ability was, one step was just one step. Their feet were about to touch the ground.
When they were about to reach the end of this step, the last layer of the dungeon was a mass of thin, white fog. She could vaguely see a few black shadows that were about two meters long floating in the fog.
In that split second, Lin Sanjiu saw the words "Snow White's Crystal Coffin" written on the bullet-shaped translucent shell. There were people sleeping inside the translucent shell.
Lin Sanjiu glanced at one of the translucent shells. Before she could take a second look, her feet had already landed on the ground. It was the surface of the pocket dimension that was one step away from her.
Her body, consciousness, and vision fell from the various worlds like snowflakes. They piled up on the ground and formed the original Lin Sanjiu, the Pocket Creature lady.
Even though she had only taken one step, she still felt a little dazed. The pocket dimension around her didn't seem real. For a moment, it was as if it had been soaked in water. Even the diary that the Pocket Creature lady passed to her and the voice of the Pocket Creature lady was distorted. It was swaying on the edge of her consciousness, "This is the proof of my hard work … Thank you. I have seen many worlds …"
Lin Sanjiu blinked a few times to stabilize her vision. Then, she took the diary.
Most of her thoughts were still on the last translucent shell.
Part of the reason was that "transmigrating to another world" would cause a mental impact. However, the main reason was that she was still trying to picture the last black shadow she saw in her mind. She was trying to reconstruct that blurry, yet unforgettable shadow into a clear form.
Even though she couldn't see the details clearly, she felt that the shadow was very familiar. She seemed to have seen it somewhere before...
"Let go!"
An angry roar jolted her back to her senses. Lin Sanjiu was a little anxious, but she was also a little wary. She raised her head and saw that the man in his forties or fifties was holding the same pram with his husband. It wasn't one of the six items she had seen earlier.
"You better not provoke me," the husband said with a sullen face. "If you leave now, you might find the third item. If you continue to fight with me, I'm afraid you won't even be able to walk out of this pocket dimension alive."
As if to support his words, the wife also walked to the back of the man without saying a word. The man in the middle looked to his left and right. His face had turned purple. He seemed to be angry and worried. He wanted to leave, but he couldn't bring himself to do so.
"That pram is a real prize winning item?
How come the others reacted so quickly when I only spent a few minutes? "
Frowning, Lin Sanjiu looked at Bohemia's back. Initially, she planned to use the diary to exchange for information. Considering that there were still two prize winning items left, she could still afford it. After all, apart from "meeting an old friend in a foreign land, what's wrong with the pocket dimension", she had another question that only the man could answer. "Why can't I tell you?"
However, the number of undiscovered items had been reduced to one … So, before she got the second prize, she couldn't be generous with Bohemia.
The pram was indeed an item that could "carry people forward", and it also fit the description of "As you turn, I grow up". If that was the case, the last prize would have to be given to stall No. 1 and No. 6.
"Some of us know, and some don't, but we'll know if we ask and answer"; and "Although it accompanies people, sometimes people may not be aware of it, as if it's not there" … After eliminating the disguise items, what else in these two stalls matched the two hints at the same time?
A bag of four single bed sets, a drawing box, an old card holder, a few drawings that seemed to be done by the same person, a wooden human structure model, and a brass pen holder … Among all these items, was one of them the prize winning item?
No matter how hard Lin Sanjiu thought, she couldn't even find a single item that matched, let alone two.
"Do you have any ideas?" Lin Sanjiu walked to Bohemia and asked softly. The latter shook her head. When she looked at the diary in Lin Sanjiu's hand, her eyes lit up.
"I will give it to you when it's time to trade," Lin Sanjiu said softly, "There is only one item left. No matter what, we have to —"
Just as she said that, the courtyard shook. It was as if a volcanic crater had suddenly opened up on the ground. Thick smoke billowed and engulfed the whole pocket dimension in the blink of an eye. Everyone present was a posthuman with some experience and keen eyesight. For a moment, they could see the flashes of protective gear and the whistling of the wind. Some of them even covered their mouths and noses as they shouted at the pocket dimension creature to think of a solution. Their voices were muffled until the woman in the pink dress suddenly screamed, "This is a smokescreen! Someone must have found the third prize! "
"Get rid of the smoke!" It seemed to be the skinny teenager who shouted.
The pocket dimension had absolute control over the situation within its territory. After a few seconds, the smoke slowly dissipated. Through the wisps of smoke that hung in the air, everyone could see each other's shocked and doubtful faces. Everyone was worried that the smoke could harm them, so they used all kinds of protective measures. Lin Sanjiu quickly went to check on Bohemia, but she realized that she had already wandered far away in the thick smoke.
"Are you alright?" Bohemia put down the sleeve she used to cover her face and asked Lin Sanjiu.
"It's so convenient to have Special Items all over my body," Lin Sanjiu thought to herself. She could only use her remaining Higher Consciousness to block both of her nostrils.
"Did you guys do this?" The tall man staggered to the center of the courtyard. He held his other wrist with one hand as if he was injured. The pram was held tightly by the husband and wife. The husband sneered, "Do we need to release a fog to ambush you?"
"It's you!"
The woman in the pink dress suddenly screamed, drawing everyone's attention to stall number 6.
The man who refused to say anything had a grim expression on his face. It was as if he had a hook on his chin. He probably didn't expect that the smoke he released would dissipate so quickly. He scanned the crowd and bellowed, "Don't come near me! I already have the thing in my hand. It's useless for you to come here! "
He was holding the wooden model of the human body tightly in his hand.
"So, the answer is" human body structure "? "The human body structure is a kind of knowledge, and it's true that people don't know about it …" Lin Sanjiu frowned and thought to herself, "That makes sense."
Apparently, the man was not threatening enough. There were at least three people who took a step forward after they heard what Lin Sanjiu said.
"Wait a minute, this is a gift from the heavens!"
When Lin Sanjiu suddenly strode over, everyone's expression changed. The man who had the worst expression was naturally the one who refused to say anything. Lin Sanjiu didn't even look at him. She turned around and stood in front of him.
"My friend took this thing," Lin Sanjiu said in a low voice, "If you have any questions, come and talk to me."
The couple who took the pram naturally didn't want to get into trouble, so they didn't move an inch. The tall man cursed under his breath and sat down on the grass. The woman in the pink dress, the skinny teenager, and the black-haired girl were all unwilling to meet Lin Sanjiu's gaze. Finally, they turned around and took a few steps back.
The man reacted quickly. He didn't even need Lin Sanjiu's reminder. He had already asked the stall owner for the item.
Lin Sanjiu's gaze seemed to carry a weight. She swept her gaze across the courtyard and calmed the unwillingness and eagerness of the six people. When the conversation between the man and the dungeon creature finally ended, the female dungeon creature who was acting as the host in the middle of the courtyard immediately announced, "All three items have been found! Congratulations! Now, please take your items and come forward. "
Unbeknownst to him, three circles had appeared on the ground, marked from one to three.
"I know the items are in different hands," the female dungeon creature asked with a smile, "Who wants to go first?"
"I … I'll go first …" The man was the least confident. He seemed to want to leave the pocket dimension as soon as possible.
"Okay. Please place your item in any of the circles that you find suitable."
Lin Sanjiu was stunned.
"You find suitable?"
If there was such a thing as suitable or not suitable, would it affect the result of placing the item in the circle?
This was the first time Lin Sanjiu had thought of this question, but the man seemed to have an answer. Without hesitation, he placed the wooden human body model in the first circle. The couple rushed ahead of Lin Sanjiu and placed the pram in the first circle.
When it was Lin Sanjiu's turn, she was completely at a loss. What was the point of placing the item in the circle? "To be safe, should I place it in the first circle?"
"Have you chosen?" the female dungeon creature urged.
Gritting her teeth, Lin Sanjiu threw her work log into the third circle. Even she couldn't find a good reason for it. If she had to find a reason, she could only hope that the circle on the ground would give her a way out since everyone had three in their names.
The female dungeon creature seemed to be prepared for this. She immediately said, "Congratulations to the first and third contestants! You have placed the right item in the right position! "
"Wait a minute," the couple was dumbfounded. "There's an order for the items? Wait, you didn't say anything when you introduced the rules — "
The man glanced at them and said in a low voice, "Didn't I tell you earlier? The rules of this pocket dimension are the same as the lottery. The item is the winning number. What kind of lottery is this? Even the numbers on the different positions are calculated … "
"The two winners, please follow the other two to get your prize." The host ignored the couple's protest and waved his hand. The female dungeon creature who handed Lin Sanjiu the work log immediately waved at Lin Sanjiu from behind the stall.
Bohemia immediately panicked. Lin Sanjiu glanced at her.
The scene where she protected the man while he was exchanging items resurfaced in her mind. When Bohemia caught up with her and asked her in a low but urgent voice, "Should I go?", Lin Sanjiu paused for a moment. She shook her head and walked past Bohemia.
"The item you want is this."
The female dungeon creature rummaged around in her bag and took out a small white object. She placed it in Lin Sanjiu's palm.
It was so light that Lin Sanjiu couldn't feel its weight.
The voice that came from the paper crane seemed to be able to snap a person's nerves and make it hard for them to breathe.
"I'm the lord's subordinate," an unfamiliar male voice said hurriedly, "Are you Lin Sanjiu? You are looking for Bohemia, aren't you? You go to one spot at once -- they're all there, but something's happened. Listen -- "
Lin Sanjiu shuddered as she felt a chill run down her spine.
The couple was holding a pram, the tall man was sitting on the grass, the woman in the pink dress, the skinny teenager, the man with long black hair … Six people. She and the man, eight people.
Lin Sanjiu could barely hold the paper crane properly. She took out a mirror from her card library with trembling hands.
She looked at the spot she had just walked past. There was a hairless, featureless, snow-white humanoid figure that seemed to be molded from plaster.
When Lin Sanjiu turned her head, Bohemia was standing there, just like when they first met not long ago.
At that time, Bohemia was so happy to see Lin Sanjiu. She even ran and jumped across a "sidewalk".
"The blank world," the man's voice rang in Lin Sanjiu's mind again, "You can set the rules by drawing."
