At this moment, Derik and his gang were completely different from half an hour ago.
"Where's the younger brother?" Derik asked as he lifted one side of his lips, revealing half a row of teeth on his left side. His voice was still gentle and amiable, but his wrinkled face seemed to be shrouded in a layer of madness. Lin Sanjiu didn't know why she didn't notice it earlier. There was a frightening color in the depths of his eyes. It was as if an artist had accidentally splashed ink on his face. Some parts of his eyes were thick, while others were light. No one dared to stare at him for too long.
Lin Sanjiu and Rena didn't respond to him. They only responded by getting into a fighting stance.
"Hehe," Zhu Mingchun laughed as well. His wooden expression immediately disappeared. He narrowed his eyes and his voice was filled with cruelty. "Brother Derik, they can't be hiding too far away. Let me go and look for that guy."
Hannie, who was beside him, immediately shot a glance at him. Her bright red lips curled into a sneer. She seemed to be mocking and disdainful at the same time.
Derik didn't even move his eyes. It was as if the two enemies in front of him didn't exist. In front of them, he spoke as if he was talking about his prey, "Sure, but you have to bring him back alive. As for the other conditions, you already know."
Rena was so angry that her face turned pale. She had no choice but to grab the hem of her dress to steady her trembling fists. Zhu Mingchun agreed and dashed towards the direction behind them. Rena, who had been watching him all this while, also moved. She took a few steps in the direction he was heading and leaped. She used her [Can't Describe Anything Below the Neck] to attack Zhu Mingchun.
"Your back is already exposed!" Hannie's boots clattered as she pounced on Rena at the same time. Hannie let out a shrill laugh. She stretched out a hand with red fingernails and grabbed Rena's back.
There was someone else beside her. Lin Sanjiu, who was standing beside Hannie, would not let Hannie have her way. Lin Sanjiu took a step to the side and extended her arm towards Hannie. She stretched her chest muscles, revealing the white bones underneath.
However, to his surprise, Hannie clearly saw the attack aimed at her throat, but she didn't dodge. Before Lin Sanjiu had the time to wonder, she heard a gust of wind behind her. Lin Sanjiu quickly pulled her arm back and lowered her head. A round ball brushed past the bone at the back of her head. Immediately after, the shadow of a rope shook and the ball was pulled back into Derik's hand. His weapon was a heavy metal ball hanging from a metal chain that was as thick as a person's thigh.
Rena also noticed the danger behind her. She couldn't care less about chasing after Zhu Mingchun. Instead, she leaped to the side. All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Only then did Zhu Mingchun stumble and fall to the ground.
The first time they fought, it was a draw.
Zhu Mingchun, who had fallen to the ground, seemed to be in a hurry to catch Reno. He simply rolled on the ground and jumped up, not wanting to continue fighting. Rena wanted to chase after Zhu Mingchun, but she had already lost the opportunity. Hannie and Derik were chasing after them like phantoms. Rena and Lin Sanjiu were momentarily held back. They could only watch helplessly as Zhu Mingchun disappeared into the building behind them.
Lin Sanjiu exchanged glances with Rena and decided not to bother with him anymore. She stared at the opponent in front of her with a grim expression.
"Oh? Aren't you going to chase after him? " Derik smiled again and said gently, "It seems like you guys are very confident about your brother's hiding spot."
Lin Sanjiu glared at him coldly. She wasn't in the mood to listen to his nonsense. With a thought, she leaped into the air and pounced towards him. Her higher consciousness form didn't have any weight, so she could move so quickly that no one could react in time. This was the first time Derik had encountered such an opponent. Even though he thought he was mentally prepared, his vision blurred. Caught off guard, the shadow cast by Lin Sanjiu had already covered him.
Following that, he felt a strong force on his chin. The force was so strong that he felt as if his chin was going to smash into his skull. He didn't feel anything at first. He only felt numb. Derik only realized that he had bitten half of his tongue and four or five of his teeth were broken when he was thrown to the ground. Fresh blood and intense pain spread through his nasal cavity and oral cavity. For a moment, he couldn't even see clearly.
Lin Sanjiu didn't let her guard down. She leaped forward. Through her higher consciousness, she could see that Rena and Hannie were also engaged in battle. Lin Sanjiu didn't need to worry about that for the time being. The most important thing now was to get rid of the shorty in front of her.
Lin Sanjiu's punch was so powerful that it was as if a train was charging at her. If an ordinary person was hit by that punch, their head would have been sent flying. However, Derik was only slightly injured. Lin Sanjiu rushed towards him, but he quickly jumped up. The chain with the metal ball attached to it attacked Lin Sanjiu once again.
To be honest, his attack was very powerful.
The weight of the metal ball was already quite considerable. Coupled with the centrifugal force from the chain, the whooshing sound it produced could almost knock a person to the ground. Lin Sanjiu leaped into the air and floated in the air. The metal ball, which had a diameter of about five to six meters, smashed into the ground with a loud boom. A large amount of dust rose from the impact.
Derik looked at Lin Sanjiu and then at the metal ball stuck in the ground. His expression was a little dumbfounded.
Even though he had seen a few people flying in the air, he had always thought that it was some kind of flying device. Derik didn't expect that this strange red body could actually fly. It was as nimble as a duoluozhong.
If he called it a spirit, it didn't look like it. When Derik punched him in the chin, it felt so real and heavy. It was even more ferocious than a real person.
Ever since Lin Sanjiu started training her higher consciousness, she finally experienced the benefits of having a higher consciousness form in combat. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was like a cheating device. When she was still just a brain, her higher consciousness was very light and weak. Her entire body was like a wisp of smoke. Even Rena couldn't touch her. However, after a period of advancement, her higher consciousness had solidified to the point where it felt like a solid object. Not only did her strength increase by nearly ten times, she also retained some of her spirit-like characteristics.
For example, when Derik suddenly crushed an egg-like object in his hand, Lin Sanjiu suddenly felt a weight on her shoulders. It was as if countless mountains were pressing down on her. If it was another posthuman, they would have to rely on their own physical strength to resist the weight. At the same time, they would have to be on guard against Derik's sneak attacks. However, Lin Sanjiu didn't have to worry about that at all.
The moment she loosened her grip, she was instantly flattened by the invisible gravity. However, before Derik could smile, she had already squeezed out from under the invisible mountain. The objective of the invisible gravity was to flatten a person. Since she had been flattened, there was naturally no room for her to withstand the force. The moment Lin Sanjiu squeezed out from under the invisible mountain, her body returned to its original state. She wasn't injured at all.
The egg-like Special Item called "Mount Tai's Crush", which was extremely expensive in the Twelve Worlds Centrum, was wasted just like that.
Derik's face twitched as he felt his heart ache. Suddenly, he looked away.
Just when Lin Sanjiu was wondering why he didn't use his advanced ability, she saw the dwarf suddenly turn around and run. He even threw his weapon on the ground. As if he was scared out of his wits, he ran back into the bank building.
"His acting is really bad," Lin Sanjiu mumbled. After instructing Mrs. Manas to keep an eye on her higher consciousness scan, she sped up and chased after him. "I can tell that this bastard has some other plan."
Regardless of what it was, Lin Sanjiu wasn't afraid. In fact, Lin Sanjiu couldn't wait to see the look of despair on Derik's face when he ran out of tricks.
When Lin Sanjiu's higher consciousness broke through the door and rushed into the lobby on the first floor, all the lights in the building suddenly went out. Darkness swallowed everything in sight. Even the higher consciousness scan was affected. After a few seconds, the general outline of the surroundings gradually appeared on the screen.
Her surroundings were silent. Nothing happened even after a long time. However, Lin Sanjiu could clearly sense that Derik's ability had been activated. (To be continued.)

Thank you for the Phosphorescent Poplar's Protective Amulet! Unknowingly, I was pushed down from the Pink Category Ranking by other books. Please, please, please, please... I just want to be a capricious number two for once. Please grant my wish this month ~!
I only have this "Thank You List" today. I feel a little lonely...
Hmm, at least I managed to get my second chance. This is all thanks to the "Meat Elysium" pizza that I ate just now. It gave me sufficient motivation. All kinds of delicious meat with red chili powder were grilled hot. The cheese roll, meat, and sauce exploded in my mouth...
