"I have said everything I need to say. Seeing that I was forced to do this, please don't kill me."
Zhu Mingchun's trembling voice still echoed in Rena's mind. She bit her lip and looked at the unconscious man on the ground. She looked a little hesitant.
After she knocked Zhu Mingchun unconscious, Lin Sanjiu kept writing to Rena in a half-persuasive and half-commanding manner.
"Given the current situation, there is no other way out than to kill him. If you don't have the heart to kill him now, he will be a ticking time bomb in the future. Furthermore, no one knows if he heard my name … "
Seeing that Lin Sanjiu was struggling to write a few long sentences, Rena finally nodded. She sighed and bent down to grab Zhu Mingchun's legs. The girl sighed and said, "I understand what you said. This is indeed the best solution. I'm not a soft-hearted person. It's just that killing an unconscious person feels a little different from killing someone in battle … "
Lin Sanjiu understood this point very well.
Back in Hyperthermal Hell, Lin Sanjiu had the same feeling when she faced Chen Xiaoyuan who was working with the duoluozhong. From a certain point of view, Rena, who had grown up in the Twelve Worlds Centrum, was quite similar to Lin Sanjiu. However, Lin Sanjiu didn't know when it started, but she gradually became numb to it.
Lin Sanjiu realized that she could now decide the life and death of anyone who had made an enemy of her or her companions within a few seconds. Yet, she didn't feel anything.
Was this a good thing or a bad thing?
Lin Sanjiu patted Rena lightly and comforted her, "I asked you to kill him. It has nothing to do with you."
Zhu Mingchun had to die.
It wasn't just because he might harm Lin Sanjiu and her companions. It was also because Reno desperately needed the number on his back.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help recalling the time when Rena broke Zhu Mingchun's leg with her foot. Zhu Mingchun screamed with tears, "It's a pocket dimension! The number is the symbol of entering the pocket dimension! "
"What?" Rena was stunned when she heard that. She looked at Lin Sanjiu and demanded, "Tell me everything!"
"It's … it's like this …" Zhu Mingchun, who did not even blink when he hit someone, was surprisingly afraid of pain. He sucked in a cold breath and said, "… If you use the dungeon detection tool to check this area, you won't notice anything wrong. Because, because this area still belonged to Kisaragi Station World. It's not an independent space like the other dungeons. "
Ever since he tried to bargain with Lin Sanjiu and got punched in the stomach by her, his attitude became much more cooperative.
"Then why is it called a pocket dimension?" Rena stared at him suspiciously.
"It's true. I didn't believe it at first … but this instance dungeon appears in the form of 'descending upon an individual'! It was true. The numbers are the proof … "Zhu Mingchun's words were a little messy. Lin Sanjiu had to listen to him patiently before she could get the gist of what he was saying.
According to him, it was everyone who entered the dungeon. Numbers would appear on the back of their waists. This phenomenon was not random, but was implemented according to the continuous expansion of the area.
"This area of a few hundred miles is already the domain of the pocket dimension. Everyone who appears in this area will definitely have numbers on them," Zhu Mingchun said confidently. "That's why … that's why we looked for you guys … This is all Derik's idea."
Rena ignored his explanation and asked, "So, what do these numbers represent?"
Zhu Mingchun looked up and glanced at her. He hesitated for a moment before he said carefully, "That means how many lives you have. Every time you receive an attack that can kill you, the number on your body will decrease by 1 … If you have a number of 5, you can receive 4 fatal attacks. Even if you are severely injured, you won't die. As long as the number doesn't change to zero, you won't die.
The skull and the teenage girl locked their eyes on him.
"Also what?" This part was similar to what Rena had guessed. Lin Sanjiu couldn't wait to hear the rest of the story.
"Oh, every time you decrease a number, the number of people attacking you will increase by one," Zhu Mingchun stammered. Zhu Mingchun stammered. However, for some reason, Lin Sanjiu had a feeling that this wasn't what he wanted to say.
"No wonder you guys tried so hard to set a trap for us," Rena sneered.
"It's really Derik's idea!" Zhu Mingchun cried out in a half-pleading tone. However, the expression on his face didn't match the urgency in his voice. "As long as you guys let me go, I definitely won't come looking for trouble again. Isn't it good for us to get through this pocket dimension peacefully?"
His words reminded Rena of something.
"Oh right. What kind of conditions do we have to fulfill to get through this pocket dimension? "
Zhu Mingchun paused for two seconds before he said, "You just have to spend 180 days in the pocket dimension. Don't think that this condition is a big deal. However, the number of people affected by the pocket dimension is increasing. Every day, a number appears on a newbie's body. If a newbie appears in this area, this endless stream of people might attack you. So, it won't be easy to get through 180 days. "
Lin Sanjiu and Rena looked at each other.
After Rena looked at Lin Sanjiu's very simple sentence, she turned her head and asked, "Our starting number is 4. Is it the same for everyone else?"
Zhu Mingchun then retracted his astonished gaze from Lin Sanjiu. It was obvious that he didn't know what Lin Sanjiu was either, "Yes, yes! It's the same for everyone! "
Before he could finish his sentence, Lin Sanjiu suddenly hit his carotid artery without any warning. She didn't know where to hit to knock someone unconscious. Lin Sanjiu hit Zhu Mingchun a few times at lightning speed. Coupled with the power of the almanac, she finally knocked him unconscious.
"What's —" Before Rena could finish her sentence, Zhu Mingchun loosened his grip. A small metal box that he had been holding fell out with a clatter. Rena's expression immediately changed.
Zhu Mingchun's actions, which he thought he had hidden, were captured by Lin Sanjiu's higher consciousness.
After the two of them discussed the strange aspects of this pocket dimension, Rena grabbed Zhu Mingchun's leg and pulled him to Reno's side. Judging from Reno's injuries, he probably didn't have many numbers left. The only thing they could do now was to let him kill Zhu Mingchun with his own hands and transfer the "8" from Zhu Mingchun to Reno.
However, when the two of them turned around, they were stunned.
Reno, who was not far from them, had fainted once again. However, this wasn't what surprised them.
A black and white kitten with a silk bow tie around its neck was dragging Reno back by his legs. It was in the exact same posture as Rena. Unknowingly, Reno had already been dragged a short distance away by the kitten.
At that moment, the cat and the two of them looked into each other's eyes. Nobody moved. (To be continued.)
