The walls, the pipes, and the ceiling were illuminated by dim blue lights all year round. The faint light melted into the air, but there were still many places in Seagral Square that the light couldn't reach.
The ambiguous light dimmed a few steps away from Lin Sanjiu. The dark blind spot in the corridor was the perfect place for Lin Sanjiu to stop and catch her breath.
After removing the black leather ropes, the two souls fell to the ground with a thud without any strength to support them. Pieces of human skin immediately fell to the ground. It was obvious that these creatures did not have very good stamina. After being dragged by Lin Sanjiu for less than ten minutes, they were like two dying worms. They lay on the ground for a long time without being able to squeeze out a single word.
"I … I have lived for so many years, and I have worn through so many … creatures …" Soulsqn raised her 'head' and rubbed her teeth against each other as she spoke. "This is the first time I have felt so useless."
She probably referred to the fact that she couldn't defeat Lin Sanjiu in a fight and couldn't bear to run away. If she followed Lin Sanjiu, she would suffer a lot. However, Lin Sanjiu's mind wasn't on Soulsqn, so she simply ignored her.
Ever since the apocalypse, she had slowly gotten used to this kind of life where she didn't know when things would change. As she pondered, she subconsciously turned Walter's body into a card. Then, she summoned the few human skins that she kept previously.
She could at least give Walter a place to rest.
When Soulsqn lay motionless on the ground, she looked slightly better than when she was wriggling. She seemed to 'look' at Lin Sanjiu for a moment before she obediently crawled into another empty human skin. The more places the Souls went, the more they realized the value of genetic modification technology. Unlike Special Abilities, Lin Sanjiu's skeletal wings were obtained through the mutation of her body. To a large extent, this was the biggest hope the Souls had at present.
No matter how many times Lin Sanjiu looked at the two empty human skins, she still didn't want to look at them directly.
Lin Sanjiu heaved a sigh of relief when she saw AYU put on the human skin and carried Soulsqn.
Even though Seagral Square was known as a stalker's nightmare, after they charged in, there were still quite a few puppets who didn't give up and chased after them. But when she rushed into the complicated layout of the square, the doll disappeared after countless turns.
She had been quietly listening for quite a while, but in this steel bracket-like area, it was still completely silent.
To be safe, Lin Sanjiu activated her [Higher Consciousness Scan].
"Eh?" She didn't expect to be stunned for a moment as soon as she saw it.
This blind spot was much larger than she had imagined. One person and two souls actually only occupied the outermost space. There was actually more space behind the half-wall. This didn't surprise Lin Sanjiu. The reason she hesitated and walked over was because of the rows of large boxes.
It looked like a large garbage bin. There were green boxes with pulleys and lids on them. Some of the lids were not closed, and there were dark shadows protruding from the inside. Lin Sanjiu walked closer and took a closer look. She was stunned.
The words "Corpse Disposal Place" looked blurry in the dark. Lin Sanjiu almost thought that she was seeing things. When she looked down, she realized that the thing protruding from the ground was a human foot.
"Seagral Square is so considerate."
Lin Sanjiu didn't know how to feel. She crossed her arms and stood there thinking. There was almost no smell of rotting corpses, which meant that someone usually came here to collect the corpses.
At this moment, the two souls who were following behind also walked over with a "rustling" sound.
"Eh? There are so many human bodies here. Are we just going to throw them away? "Soulsqn said in AYU's arms with her other face." What a waste. "
"Why? Can you feed on corpses?" Lin Sanjiu turned her head and glanced at Soulsqn. She could accept Soulsqn feeding on corpses.
However, this disgusting creature was very picky. "If they were fresh human bodies that had just died, it would be fine. But these people have been dead for quite some time. Why don't you open the box and let me see if there are any suitable ones? After all, the situation is different now. You don't want me to be a burden, right? "
Lin Sanjiu chopped off Soulsqn's legs to vent her anger and to gain better control over it. Now, it didn't matter if Soulsqn had a pair of legs or a pair of legs. Even though Lin Sanjiu didn't want to admit that Soulsqn was right, she still opened a few of the boxes.
There were all kinds of corpses piled on top of each other, revealing the lifeless, pale corpses.
The corpses buried at the bottom had started to emit a faint stench. Some of the corpses were still intact, as if they had just fallen asleep. Some had fatal wounds on their chests and abdomens. There were even some that were just body parts.
Lin Sanjiu strolled around the area and saw many unfamiliar corpses. Suddenly, she heard a soft gurgling sound coming from behind her. Goosebumps rose all over her body. Lin Sanjiu looked at Lin Sanjiu.
When Lin Sanjiu heard that sound, she knew she had heard it before. At that time, she didn't know what it meant, but now, she knew.
When Lin Sanjiu turned around, the human skin that Soulsqn was wearing was now lying on the ground. A delicate and frail little girl with two ponytails was standing beside AYU, fiddling with the skin on her face. The original owner of the corpse didn't seem to be more than 15 years old. Under her light purple dress, Soulsqn was supported by two slender legs.
"This is the freshest one," Soulsqn saw Lin Sanjiu's frown and thought that Lin Sanjiu was upset about something else. She blinked her pair of black eyes, "But don't worry. The body we wear will not affect our stamina."
Soulsqn's adaptability was obviously much better than the other Souls. After a while, she looked more and more like a normal living person. To be on the safe side, Lin Sanjiu tied the necks of the two Souls tightly with the black leather rope. She held the other end of the rope in her hand. This way, she could at least ensure that they were always under her watch.
Lin Sanjiu felt that it was a coincidence that she had solved a problem by accident. After some thought, before the few "people" left, Lin Sanjiu converted all the human skins she had collected, except for Walter's, into cards and put them into an empty recycling box.
Actually, she still had two corpses that she didn't have time to bury. One was Ren Nan, and the other was Er Dao. Once the situation was clear, she planned to bury all of them together.
When they walked out of the small corner, Lin Sanjiu memorized the serial number of the area.
RECYCLE-FL3-T120。
"It seems like your people still care about you, Queen." Since they had gotten rid of the puppets, Lin Sanjiu and the others slowed down. As they walked, Lin Sanjiu looked around. Suddenly, a thought came to her mind. "Since you are already in my hands, why do they still regard you as their king?"
She pointed at AYU, "For example, wouldn't it be much easier for her to get rid of you and leave on her own?"
An incongruous expression appeared on the skinny girl's face. Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell what was wrong with her expression. "My becoming a queen is a biological thing, not a political thing … How could you not understand?"
Of course, Lin Sanjiu had figured it out long ago. She got the answer she expected and couldn't help flashing a smile at Soulsqn. While Soulsqn was still in a daze, Lin Sanjiu spoke, "Since you have confirmed this for me … I have an idea to deal with them."
Soulsqn shut her mouth and listened to Lin Sanjiu's idea with narrowed eyes.
"I don't know if I should call you brave or stupid," Soulsqn said. When Lin Sanjiu stopped talking, Soulsqn's eyes scanned her from head to toe. Obviously, there were more thoughts going through her mind than what she said. "You have to know that once I start doing this, you might not be able to maintain your current advantage."
"I know."
"You trust me?"
"Of course not." No matter how long they had been together, Lin Sanjiu would always keep one eye on Soulsqn. However, after Soulsqn said those five words, she stopped talking.
"You sure are honest." Soulsqn's face, which didn't have any trace of a human teenager, crooked. Lin Sanjiu didn't know if Soulsqn was praising her. "Actually, you don't have to threaten me with my life. You just need to pay me a small deposit and I will be very cooperative."
Lin Sanjiu raised her eyebrows.
"What deposit?"
"Your legendary friend," Soulsqn said slowly, "I need to know that she really exists and that you can convince her to help us."
This wasn't an easy task. Even if she knew that Nvywa would be very interested in this creature, how could she prove that Nvywa really existed? Lin Sanjiu didn't even know where Nvywa was right now.
After thinking for a while, Lin Sanjiu suddenly had an idea.
"There is a compromise. I can let you know that I really know her," Lin Sanjiu frowned, "But I have to reveal a little of my ability to you. I can't do it while we are walking. I will show you when we reach a place where we can rest."
Of course, she was talking about her [Consciousness Mimicry].
It had been more than a year since Lin Sanjiu last used this ability. However, whenever she thought of Nvywa, the image of her cold and pitiful smile on her face was still fresh in her mind. It was as if it had been carved into her mind. After confirming with Mrs. Manas about the "storage" of their Higher Consciousness, they saw a signboard at a fork in the road.
Not every road in Seagral Square had this signboard. It was as if the builders of the square believed that if they wanted to lose their enemies, they had to get lost first. Following the signboard, Lin Sanjiu found a row of rooms hanging next to an elevator shaft. They could use the elevator to stop in front of an unoccupied room and throw in a few red crystals. That way, they could obtain the right to use the room for a short period of time.
Lin Sanjiu threw in the last five medium crystals she had and bought the right to use the room for 15 minutes.
"Is 15 minutes enough?" Soulsqn looked a little doubtful when she was dragged into the small metal room. She and AYU stopped in the middle of the room and watched as the door slowly closed. Soulsqn turned to Lin Sanjiu and asked, "What is your ability —"
Before she could finish her sentence, she shut her mouth.
The woman, who looked exactly the same as before, was standing not far from them, smiling at them.
