When Lin Sanjiu extended her arm to grab "Bohemia", the latter did not move. She did not even panic.
She tilted her head. Her eyes were bright, and her expression was calm and steady. It was as if she wanted to see what Lin Sanjiu was going to do to her. If Lin Sanjiu hurt her, she would scold Lin Sanjiu. How could she not be Bohemia?
Perhaps all of this was an illusion created by the instance dungeon …
Perhaps the truth of this dungeon was to make people kill each other.
The corner of Lin Sanjiu's heart and her hand suddenly softened. She lost all her strength halfway through her attack. She didn't look like she was going to grab him, but more like she was going to pat his shoulder. It was this delay that allowed her to hear the man shout, "Don't touch it!"
Don't touch Bohemia?
Just as she was about to touch Bohemia's shoulder, she hurriedly lifted her hand and retreated a few steps away from Bohemia. She stared at the man who looked like a bohemian no matter how she looked at him. She didn't dare to move her eyes away and asked, "What's going on?"
"Don't touch it," the man shouted. "It's immune to all attacks, and the more you touch it, the more it absorbs …"
Absorb what?
"What are you doing? Are you possessed by a ghost?" Bohemia frowned and said hurriedly, "The way you're staring at me, I'm telling you, you're not a normal person. Don't tell me you need your mom to cut you open again? "
Lin Sanjiu's heart sank back into her stomach. "This must be Bohemia, right?" Other than her and Puppeteer, who else knew about the incident?
In that case, the man might be the one who was wrong …
At the same time, Lin Sanjiu and "Bohemia" turned to look at him.
When the man's eyes met "Bohemia", he flinched. His face was filled with regret as if he wanted to swallow his own tongue. He stared at the ground and mumbled, "She realized it herself. I didn't tell her …"
"Since the lottery is over," the woman in the pink dress lowered her head to avoid Bohemia's gaze and said, "Let's end the dungeon now. We're leaving this place."
Draw the lottery …
Lin Sanjiu's thoughts and gaze fell on the wooden human body model in the middle of the drawing circle.
It was smooth, slender, and had no facial features or hair details. It was quite similar to the "plaster man" she had seen in the mirror.
When he looked again, the skinny young man, the couple, and the black-haired man all had the same expression on their faces. They knew that something was wrong, but they were unwilling or afraid to say it out loud. They were full of wariness and fear, but they had to pretend that nothing was wrong on the surface.
Lin Sanjiu knew that she was lying to herself, but she couldn't lie to him anymore.
"Some of us know, some don't know," "Accompany by the person's side, but the person doesn't realize it"... She couldn't guess the answers to the prompts, because she was the person in the crowd who "don't know" and "don't realize it". She finally understood what the model of the human body represented.
No matter what that thing was, it had messed with the wrong person. If it was immune to all attacks, wouldn't it be fine if it didn't attack?
She slowly walked to the side of "Bohemia." Her thick, curly, golden-brown hair was exposed to the sun, creating wisps of golden waves. If she stretched out her hand, she would definitely touch Bohemia's long hair.
"You don't have to be afraid."
Lin Sanjiu looked at the large embroidery on the coat. There were rings of bright beads and strings, and the tassels on the cuffs belonged to Bohemia's hand. Be it its appearance, voice, expression, or aura, they were all so real and lively, but it was a thing that couldn't walk on the "sidewalk".
She looked at the people in the courtyard and said slowly, "I don't know what this is, but I think you guys are pretending that nothing happened because it is immune to all attacks. You guys are afraid of getting into trouble, right?"
There was a moment of silence in the courtyard. Even the Pocket Dimension Creature lady did not announce the end of the pocket dimension, as if she wanted to give Lin Sanjiu some time to deal with the matter.
"Bohemia" was very calm, as if the next thing she would say was, "What are you looking at?"
When Lin Sanjiu's gaze swept across the courtyard, her eyes stopped on the man's face for a few seconds. Slowly, she said, "I said that I would help you solve your problem, so I will do it. After I get rid of her … it, you'd better tell me everything in detail. This time, I don't have the patience to guess anymore. "
A few of them looked like they wanted to say something but hesitated.
Needless to say, the question that they wanted to ask but did not dare to ask was, "Since it is immune to all attacks, how do I deal with it?"
Lin Sanjiu smiled at everyone and gently placed her hand on "Bohemia"'s shoulder. The man couldn't help but gasp. "Bohemia, you're right.
Lin Sanjiu had no idea what "Bohemia" would absorb, and she didn't feel anything strange during the time she spent with it. However, she was sure that "Bohemia" wouldn't absorb everything it could in a short period of time. "Bohemia," Lin Sanjiu thought to herself.
Lin Sanjiu just needed a split second to know.
When "Bohemia" was bitten by the [Seed], it didn't seem to realize what was going on.
As a humanoid that could not be mistaken for anyone else, the ability of the Seed was its natural enemy. Furthermore, it was a natural enemy that it had never encountered before. Its sudden outburst of anger, panic, and resistance caused its bohemian face to contort in half. Its crooked chin extended towards Lin Sanjiu like a piece of chewing gum stuck to her hand that had been stretched out.
That alone made Lin Sanjiu want to choke it to death with the [Seed].
Before it disappeared completely, it was no longer Bohemia. It turned into a white blur and was sucked into Lin Sanjiu's palm. In the blink of an eye, the ground was empty.
Everyone was dumbfounded. The courtyard was silent for a few seconds.
The man was the first one to speak. "What about that thing?"
"It won't come out again," Lin Sanjiu held the hand tightly. She resisted the urge to release it and look at Bohemia again. "Can you tell me what it is now?"
"Wait a minute. Since everyone has no more questions, the bazaar should end now." The Pocket Dimension Creature seemed to be relieved. She clapped her hands and said, "Please leave the courtyard through the gate … What? The item order? "
The couple seemed to have swallowed the fact that they had failed. The wife was asking the host a question in a low voice. The Pocket Dimension Creature smiled and gestured for the wife to leave with the crowd. "You guys can discuss this among yourselves."
When everyone reappeared in the pocket dimension and stepped back into the empty world, the man approached Lin Sanjiu, looking a little embarrassed.
"So, you also noticed that the items were arranged in a chronological order. Well, it makes sense. All the hints can be related to time." Now, it was his turn to look awkward. He coughed twice and said, "Um … Thank you for what you did just now."
Lin Sanjiu didn't notice that the items were arranged in a chronological order. After listening to his explanation, she suddenly realized that the items in the stall were from different periods of the Pocket Dimension Creature's life. The human anatomy model was used in university, so it was the first item. The work log was used at the end of her life, so it was the third item.
Even though Lin Sanjiu didn't know that the items were arranged in a chronological order, she had heard a lot of gossip from the Pocket Dimension Creature. After listening to the gossip from the Pocket Dimension Creature, she felt that the work log should be the last item. Perhaps, she should thank her sharp intuition.
"I did get something that I've always wanted," the man said, trying to strike up a conversation. "Oh, by the way, I'm Kang Si. What's your name?"
"Lin Sanjiu."
"Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you." Kang Si turned out to be a talkative person. "Um, I hope you don't blame me. I really want to remind you, but I can't tell you. The snow-white person beside you isn't a living thing … "
"Then what is it?" Lin Sanjiu asked.
Whatever it was, her eagerness to get to the bottom of it had diminished considerably. Ever since she had realized that Bohemia was not there, she had lost interest in whatever she had absorbed, and her questions had become a mere formality.
"Didn't you ask me what's so bad about the 'Meet an Old Friend in a Strange Place'? That's it." Kang Si rubbed the back of his neck and said, "The 'Meet an Old Friend in a Strange Place' isn't anything dangerous. At most, it won't work sometimes, and sometimes it will attract your enemies. However, when it enters the Blank World, it will be accompanied by that thing … 'Human Essence'."
Lin Sanjiu had never heard of that name before, but Kang Si's words made her feel a lot more relaxed. "So, it's not the problem of" Meet an Old Friend in a Strange Place "! "If that's the case …
It should be able to do its job now, right? "
"I don't know how the name 'Human Essence' came about. It isn't a living thing, nor is it an object. It should be an existence that can't be categorized in the apocalyptic world. "
Lin Sanjiu had seen quite a few of such existences. The humanoid figure that walked on the red brick wall and the owner of the Black Mist Kidney in her body were all things that couldn't be categorized.
Kang Si turned around and gestured at the endless Blank World around them.
"Once the 'Meet an Old Friend in a Strange Place' instance appears in the Blank World, there will definitely be a 'Human Essence' nearby. The 'Human Essence's' favorite place is the Blank World. When it's active in the Blank World, you can't see it at all. We are like a drop of color on a piece of white paper. Human Essence is a piece of white paper. Only when it follows you into the Pocket World can we see a snow-white humanoid beside you … "
"Wait a minute," Lin Sanjiu was stunned. She asked, "In other words, in your eyes, it's always its original appearance? Only when I'm the only one looking at it will I think it's my friend? "
"It only works on one target at a time," Kang Si nodded. "I can show you what I saw 15 minutes ago."
Lin Sanjiu didn't know if it was an ability or the effect of an item, but when he raised his hands and waved them in the air, an image of a courtyard and a canopy appeared. It was the Pocket World.
From Kang Si's angle, he could see a tall silhouette under the canopy. Lin Sanjiu was wearing a black singlet, a pair of combat pants, and a head of messy hair that reached past her shoulders … Holding her work log in one hand, Lin Sanjiu turned her body and whispered to a white plaster figure that was standing right next to her.
When she looked at it, her eyes were filled with joy and tenderness.
