When Lin Sanjiu and the man with the top hat confronted each other for the second time, the situation had completely reversed.
There were only three people left in the man with the top hat, and one of them was severely injured. Lin Sanjiu, on the other hand, had almost reached her peak form. Her strength had reached an unprecedented level. After the man who escaped exposed their whereabouts, Lin Sanjiu didn't even bother to attack them from the shadows. She leaped onto the top of the bookshelf and sprinted down the bookshelf. Soon, she arrived in front of the man with the top hat.
Even though she didn't touch the bookshelf directly, the air flow was too fast. When Lin Sanjiu stopped abruptly, the air flow hit the bookshelf and created a puff of white smoke.
It was only then that the last syllable of the man who escaped dissipated into the air.
The man with the top hat stared at the white smoke under Lin Sanjiu's feet. Even though he didn't say anything, Lin Sanjiu could tell that he must have an awful expression on his face.
How did the skinless man's ability increase to such a level in just two days?
The aura that Lin Sanjiu exuded was as deep as the abyss, or like a gigantic beast. It made it hard for the man with the top hat to breathe. The man with the top hat didn't even need to fight with her.
"Let's go!" he shouted to his left and right. At the same time, he flung a piece of grayish-white cloth into the air.
[3D Movie Set]
This was definitely not a 3D movie made for the sake of making money. The content played in front of the target would clearly recreate the effect of "another real world". It would make the target feel as if they had walked into the world of the movie. They wouldn't be able to tell what was real and what was fake. Whether it was used to confuse, assist, or escape, the effect was excellent.
When Lin Sanjiu saw that the man with the top hat was about to run away, she leaped down from the bookshelf and chased after them. However, something in the air seemed to have changed. Then, somehow, she caught a vine with her arm and pulled it down. She looked up in a daze and realized that she was standing in front of a dark and dense forest. It was dusk.
There were tree roots protruding from the ground. Lin Sanjiu pushed aside the aerial roots in front of her and looked around. She didn't see the man with the top hat anywhere. Even though she knew that everything was an illusion, Lin Sanjiu still stopped in her tracks. It was too real. She could not even make out the shadow of the library.
Just as she was wondering which direction to go, she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw Rena walking over from behind a few trees.
"Is this... a smokescreen?" Rena's mouth was half open. This effect shouldn't last long, right? "
Lin Sanjiu had no idea. After pacing back and forth for a while, she sighed helplessly.
As it turned out, the effect of the [3D Movie Set] did not last long. However, for the North Wing team, one minute and thirty seconds were more than enough time to escape.
"Hey, did you hear that? Why aren't you replying? " When the view of the dense forest disappeared and the dim library returned, Reno's puzzled voice came through the communicator. It seemed that this movie set could even block out sounds from the outside world. "I said, the guy in the hat ran towards the South Wing. Did you guys hear me?"
Rena, who was still looking around, quivered. She looked at Lin Sanjiu and said, "He went into the South Wing. Are we still going to chase him?"
"They thought that the South Wing sent reinforcements. Now that they are in danger, they immediately ran into the South Wing." Lin Sanjiu looked at the South Wing.
The South Wing was shrouded in darkness. Lin Sanjiu could only vaguely see the silhouette of the bookshelves. Even though a group of people ran into the South Wing, the South Wing was so quiet that it was as if there was no one there.
"Since they are working together, it won't be easy to deal with them." Lin Sanjiu thought of the woman from the South Wing whom she had only heard but not seen. "Forget it, there are only three of them left. I don't think they will be able to cause much trouble."
"What should we do next?" Rena asked, biting her lip. Compared to before, her tone was clearly much calmer.
After the battle. Even though they only had one book in their hands, both Lin Sanjiu and Lin Sanjiu's numbers had increased significantly. Rena's number had reached 21 while Lin Sanjiu's had reached 29. Only Reno's number had not changed.
"Let's look for your brother first. We can talk about the book later," Lin Sanjiu said as she walked to the railing of the North Wing. "He can't move his head at the bottom. He's having a hard time …"
Before Lin Sanjiu could finish her sentence, they heard a slightly high-pitched and unpleasant voice coming from the West Wing. It sounded as if someone was rubbing their ears, "Those aren't the people from the North Wing. It seems like they really ran towards the South Wing!"
"The people from the West Wing have been observing us?" Lin Sanjiu and Rena were stunned. They immediately found cover and hid themselves. They pricked up their ears to listen for any movement from the West Wing.
It seemed like they had only lost one person in the battle with Silvan. However, the people from the West Wing were not hurt. The buzzing of their conversation continued for a while in the direction of the West Wing. Suddenly, someone shouted, "You from the South Wing! Come out! "
The person who spoke was the leader from before. When he raised his voice, his voice was so loud that it almost pierced the eardrums of the people around him, "We agreed to form an alliance. No wonder you didn't send anyone to help us. It turns out that you have something going on with the North Wing! You better explain yourself. What is the meaning of this? "
The two Southwest and Southwest Wing branches had indeed formed an alliance.
When Lin Sanjiu heard that, she couldn't help looking in the direction of the South Wing.
That woman had unknowingly formed an alliance with the two Southwest Wing branches without them knowing. She must have some tricks up her sleeve …
However, the question from the West Wing was like a stone sinking into the ocean. There was no response at all. At that moment, the South Wing was dead silent.
"Could it be that they have a guilty conscience?"
The unpleasant voice of the "mushroom man" cursed a few more times. However, the woman from the South Wing seemed to have gone deaf. Not only did she not utter a single word, she didn't even make a single sound. Just when Lin Sanjiu was feeling a little puzzled, a long scream suddenly erupted from the direction of the South Wing. Then, a figure was flung into the air by some unknown force like a rag and fell straight to the ground.
A top hat spun in the air a few times before falling along with its owner.
Even though it was accompanied by a scream of agony, the muffled sound of a broken neck and flesh hitting the ground could still be heard clearly. Lin Sanjiu couldn't help getting goosebumps on her back. In the last half of the scream, which was laced with blood, everyone could hear the top hat's every word clearly, "The South Wing is —"
With a splat, a small dot of light shot out from the South Wing. It ended the top hat's life before he could finish his sentence.
"What is the South Wing?"
Lin Sanjiu didn't know what was going on. Just when she was feeling puzzled, Silvan's voice suddenly rang out from the library, "This isn't right. I remember that there were two people in the South Wing's main hall. Those of you who have lights, use them to take a look!"
"There were two people in the South Wing's main hall?"
As they had already split up, none of them stayed behind to monitor the situation in the central hall. Lin Sanjiu's heart jumped to her throat when she heard Silvan's words. Rena also panicked. She shouted "hello" into the communicator a few times, but she didn't receive any response from Reno. After she thought about it carefully, she realized that she didn't know when he had stopped contacting her.
The moment Silvan finished speaking, a beam of light pierced through the darkness from his hand. The bright light illuminated a circle in the middle of the hall, attracting everyone's attention.
During the first few rounds, the glowing circle was empty. There were only a few tables and chairs that were glaringly white in the light. However, when his beam of light swept across Siri's workbench, Lin Sanjiu couldn't hold it in any longer. She let out a soft cry. "Ah!"
Reno had already come out of his hiding place. At this moment, he was holding onto his injured shoulder and was confronting someone. However, when the light shone on that person, he, along with everyone in the library, saw the person's face clearly for the first time.
His face was pale and he had no facial features.
Duoluozhong. (To be continued.)
