What ability?
Just as she was about to lose control of her doubts, Lin Sanjiu lowered her head and rubbed her nose. She took the opportunity to wipe away any trace of doubt that might show on her face.
In less than a second, her thoughts were like waves, rapidly rocking back and forth in her mind.
It wasn't strange that the man in the red T-shirt acted so naturally, as if he knew about Lin Sanjiu's abilities. If that was the case, then the fact that Lin Sanjiu didn't know how he knew was a secret that she had to hide.
However, when she needed information the most, she did not dare to expose her ignorance.
When Lin Sanjiu put down her hand and raised her head, she had already found a vague answer that did not contain any information, "Where? Where?"
"Are you going to look for him now?" the man in the red t-shirt asked.
He didn't seem to be probing. Whether or not Lin Sanjiu could find Lin Sanjiu and how she could find Lin Sanjiu was a topic of conversation for him. They talked a lot when they were together, but once they parted ways, this topic would probably be wiped away like the tears at the corner of his eyes after he yawned.
"No," Lin Sanjiu suppressed her anxiety and walked on the dirt road again. "Since he's around here, we will meet him sooner or later. There's no hurry."
She was so anxious that she wanted to jump into the air, climb up to the roof, and shout for help. Since they fell together, why didn't anyone catch her? Why did someone want to catch Puppeteer?
However, when she was with the man in the red T-shirt, she couldn't expose that she didn't have the ability to find people instantly. If only this guy would leave immediately after taking her to the seminar.
"Oh." The man in the red T-shirt seemed to be at a loss for words. He scratched the stubble on his chin and watched as she walked past him, but he stood on the dirt road without moving. "Then I wish you good luck … I'm going to sleep for a while."
"Are we going now?" Lin Sanjiu was taken aback. She didn't expect that she would get the chance to go on her own so soon. She stopped and turned around to ask, "When will the symposium begin?"
It seemed like the man in the red T-shirt was really sleepy. Before he could speak, he yawned. The yawn was so big that it was as if his lips had turned into a zipper and he was trying to swallow his own head.
"Let me see …" He finally managed to free himself from his yawn and replied, "Symposia are usually very long. It's not a big deal to be absent for a while."
"Then you should go and rest. Where is the venue for the conference?" Lin Sanjiu asked with a smile. "Tell me, I'll go there myself."
The man in the red t-shirt looked at Lin Sanjiu and blinked. His tears were still glistening at the corners of his eyes, but they flowed down in the blink of an eye. Just as he was about to wipe them away, he yawned again. His yawns were getting bigger and bigger. This time, his entire body and mind were immersed in his yawning, to the extent that people suspected that he would fall asleep halfway through.
"You … won't be able to find it yourself …" As soon as he started, the incessant yawns were like a gale, blowing his voice intermittently. The man yawned, "If so … I … I'll take you there."
He was obviously not pretending to be polite. Even though his eyes were blurred by tears, he still moved and gestured for Lin Sanjiu to follow him.
If it weren't for the fact that she didn't know the background of the red T-shirt, she wouldn't have been able to rest easy. Lin Sanjiu was almost touched.
"You are so sleepy. Why don't you go to sleep first?" As she walked, she said sincerely, "Just tell me the address and the way. It won't be difficult for me to find it by myself. At worst, I can ask someone else — "
"You don't have to. You don't have to," the man in the red t-shirt suddenly interrupted, "We are so familiar with each other. It's better for me to bring you there than to ask a stranger at the last minute."
Lin Sanjiu paused for two seconds and slowed down her pace.
She didn't look like she was in a hurry to find someone. Instead, she looked like she was here for sightseeing.
"But I think you are too sleepy."
"Ahem, I will be fine after walking for a while," the man in the red t-shirt said eagerly. "Look, aren't I already a little more spirited?"
Lin Sanjiu turned her gaze away from the road and smiled at him. "If you want to, that would be great. Which direction is it? "
"It's not far from here," the man in the red t-shirt waved his hand vaguely, as if the conference was in the sky.
Lin Sanjiu nodded. She continued to look around as if she was sightseeing. The town was much bigger than she thought. The two of them walked in silence for a few minutes and made a few turns. She passed by a "Delicious Soup Station" and saw three or four construction workers working in the middle of the road. She even admired the flower market for a while, but she still hadn't reached the conference.
Perhaps she shouldn't be surprised.
Lin Sanjiu's pace was getting slower and slower.
Now that she thought about it carefully, she realized that she had only heard about the "conference" from the man in the red t-shirt.
She lingered in front of the video game store for a long time and even touched the sheep in the small zoo at the corner of the street. It was only a few hundred meters, but she had already walked for half an hour. The man in the red t-shirt didn't rush her. He just followed her like a shadow. It was as if he had grown a toe on her heel, or a head on her shoulder.
He was following her so closely that she didn't even have the chance to find someone else to test the situation.
"Hey, look at this."
When she passed by a house, Lin Sanjiu suddenly stopped. She pointed at the open wooden door and said to the man in the red t-shirt, "Isn't that a beautiful carp pond? I like carp. Let's go in and take a look. "
Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell if this was a private house or not, but as she spoke, she stepped into the house.
Even though the man in the red t-shirt was following her closely, he didn't seem to be in a hurry to take her somewhere. He followed her into the house without saying a word.
"What is he planning?"
Lin Sanjiu stood beside him at the edge of the carp pond. Red, white, and golden fish swam back and forth in the rippling green water. As she watched, she raised her hand and combed the back of her hair.
When she retracted her hand, she pressed it on the back of the man in the red t-shirt.
The man in the red t-shirt quivered. Just as he opened his mouth, Lin Sanjiu pushed him into the water.
In this place, neither she nor the man in the red t-shirt were highly skilled posthumans. Lin Sanjiu had been preparing for this moment for a long time. Before the man in the red t-shirt fell into the water, Lin Sanjiu had already begun to twist her body away from the water. Even the huge splash that he created didn't reach her face.
As a posthuman, her muscles and explosive strength were somewhat awakened at the critical moment. She carried her and dashed out of the house.
Lin Sanjiu wasn't familiar with the town, so she simply rushed to the places with fewer people. She used all her willpower to whip her legs, which were as lazy as a horse.
In this place, neither she nor the man in the red t-shirt were highly skilled posthumans. With the time that the man in the red t-shirt struggled to climb out of the water, Lin Sanjiu had already left the house far behind her. She couldn't even see its shadow anymore.
Lin Sanjiu was still running step by step, but somehow, her mind was filled with the moment when she pushed the red t-shirt into the pool.
She had seen the man in the red t-shirt yawn a few times. She was more familiar with his yawns than she was with him. She was sure that she wasn't mistaken. When she placed her hand on the back of the man in the red t-shirt, he quivered and opened his mouth. He was about to yawn.
He wasn't about to open his mouth to ask questions. Instead, he was about to yawn.
"Why would he yawn when he was surprised?
No, no, that's not the point. " If her speculation was correct, it meant that the man in the red T-shirt had yawned several times because he was surprised … Why?
She believed what he said about the conference. What was there to be surprised about? Why did he change his mind about going to sleep and why did he follow her so closely?
Since Lin Sanjiu had already gotten rid of the man in the red t-shirt, she slowed down her pace to avoid attracting attention. She walked along the shadows of the street as if nothing had happened. As she walked, she replayed the conversation between her and the man in the red t-shirt in her mind.
No matter how many times she replayed their conversation, Lin Sanjiu couldn't figure out where she had given herself away. All she did was ask about the conference. Regardless of whether the conference was real or not, she had no reason to know anything about it. How did she arouse the suspicion of the man in the red t-shirt when she asked about it?
Lin Sanjiu was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't pay attention to where she was going.
She raised her head and found that she had unknowingly reached the edge of the town. The town was like a lake that had finally reached the shore. It stopped at a large patch of grass in front of her.
Puppeteer was still in the town, under the control of someone. Naturally, Lin Sanjiu had no intention of leaving.
However, the man in the red t-shirt might have already climbed out of the pool. Lin Sanjiu didn't know if he was calling for help. Even if she wanted to go back to look for him, it was better for her to wait and avoid the limelight. Lin Sanjiu couldn't remember if she had any cards that could change her appearance. It was better for her to find a place to hide and look for something that she could use. After that, she could enter the town to look for him.
Lin Sanjiu walked into a small forest and leaned against a tree. As she tried to open her card vault, she kept one ear open to listen for any movements behind her.
She didn't know what time it was and how much daylight she had left … Could she tell what time it was by looking at the sky?
As she continued to call for cards, she raised her head subconsciously.
The shadows of the leaves were jagged and gnawed at the sunlight, revealing a small patch of the sky between the canopies.
The waves in the sky were the same as before.
However, that wasn't the main point.
The reason why Lin Sanjiu's body froze and she didn't dare to move for a moment was that the shape of every leaf on her head, the size of the surrounding treetops, and the edge of the sky where the sunlight was bitten … were exactly the same as what she had seen a few hours ago.
