"Is there something wrong with your IQ?"
When the cat doctor turned around gracefully and asked this question calmly and politely, Soulsqn felt that his words were more lethal than Lin Sanjiu's vulgarities.
As a queen of a species, she didn't feel that she had been insulted in front of her people. She just didn't know how to answer the cat doctor's question. After a while, she stuttered, "You … this thing of yours is not easy …"
"Do you think it is difficult to hide under a cloak?" The cat doctor's tone was gentle. Every word he said was laced with an air of nobility. He didn't hide his sarcasm well, "If you can't squeeze through the cloak while wearing human skin, don't you know how to take off your human skin?"
If someone was walking on the "Grizzly Trail", they would notice a crooked "great green insect" on the side of the road. Not only was its surface uneven, but there were also a few human legs sticking out from the green cloth cover. The "great green insect" crawled forward with difficulty for a while. Then, its two sewn cloth eyes bumped into one of the legs.
"I didn't succeed again!"
Meowie Hu crawled out from under the green insect's cloth cover. His snow-white eyebrows and beard were standing on end. His pair of green eyes were burning with anger. He didn't even look at the signboard beside him that read "Players entering the park". Instead, he turned to the group of Souls who were crawling out from the cloth cover and yelled, "Are you guys okay? If you can't, I will leave by myself! You can't even put on a doll costume! "
Faced with the cat doctor's criticism, the group of Souls looked at each other. For a moment, they didn't even know how to defend themselves. Ever since Meowie Hu took out the Special Item called [I'm Really Not the Target], this was the third time they had seen this signboard.
Soulsqn gaped. She looked at the signboard unwillingly and saw that it had the same words, "Welcome to Players No.58, No.62, No.63, No.64". Even their pictures were on the signboard. Soulsqn had no choice but to lower her voice and say, "Doctor, your cloth cover is too small. There are more than ten of us."
Meowie Hu sneered. He stepped forward and slapped the great green insect with his paw. The cloth cover immediately shrunk to the size of a handkerchief. Meowie stepped on it with his front paw, "See? It was originally only this big. I've already enlarged it quite a bit for you. Think of a way yourselves next! "
[I'm really not the target.]
No matter how deranged a madman was, or how powerful an evolver was, they would not be able to escape. They probably wouldn't suddenly attack a rock, a blade of grass, or an ant on the side of the road. One of the cowards couldn't help but think, "If I can disguise myself as such, no one will see me as a target, won't I be safe?" Thus, this magical costume came into being.
Effect: Able to change the appearance and body of an intelligent creature. It had transformed into an inconspicuous appearance, making people think that it was just an ant, a speck of dust, or some other designated object.
However, it was important to note that once the doll was successfully contained, not only would its movement speed be greatly reduced — you've never seen a stone travel thousands of miles in a day, right? It would also lose the ability to attack and protect itself, and would not be able to use any special items. It would take a lot of effort to crawl out of the costume (the escape time is limited to 5 minutes). So, please don't let anyone notice you!
If the cat doctor and his group were to be discovered, there would definitely be a signboard for new players on the road ahead of them. It was the same signboard that Lin Sanjiu and Soulsqn had seen before.
They discussed in low voices for a while. The group of Souls finally admitted reluctantly, "It seems like we can't enter without taking off our human skin."
Taking off their human skin was equivalent to revealing their fragile body. When they needed it, it wouldn't be easy to find another human skin to wear. It was no wonder that none of them were willing to do so.
Even if the dozen or so Souls took off their human skin, they wouldn't be able to return to their original size in a short period of time. Under the cat doctor's surprised and intrigued gaze, the group of Souls had no choice but to wait in the wind for a long time before AYU absorbed them into her body one by one.
"Oh, I didn't expect you guys to be such wonderful creatures," the cat doctor's anger had long dissipated. He rubbed his paw on the ground, which he couldn't resist touching the Souls. After wiping his paw clean, he said with some satisfaction, "Now that there are only two of you, it shouldn't be too difficult."
Soulsqn and AYU glanced at the pile of human skins on the ground. They looked a little heartbroken. However, they didn't say anything. They obediently followed Meowie Hu's instructions and crawled into the caterpillar cover. This time, the caterpillar cover, which had shrunk to half its original size, could accommodate two people and a cat. In an instant, the caterpillar turned into a soft and slippery insect and slithered into the bushes.
When the "caterpillar" raised its head, the signboard on the road had already disappeared.
The cat doctor and the group of Souls were still at the beginning of "Grizzly Trail". They were actually still at the beginning of "Grizzly Trail". They were not far from the entrance. They could see the castle-like gate when they turned their heads. Not long after the "great green insect" slithered into the amusement park, a few other figures ran over from another path and stopped beside the castle gate.
"Let's hide up there," Livia said to Lin Sanjiu expressionlessly.
Livia, who had brown hair and was so skinny that she didn't seem to have any flesh on her body, asked Lin Sanjiu expressionlessly. When she spoke, the wrinkles at the corners of her mouth would deepen, making her look a few years older. People who struggled to survive in an apocalyptic world would often look older than their actual age. It wasn't easy to find people like Lin Sanjiu, who had a chance to undergo genetic reconstruction.
"Up there?"
Lin Sanjiu raised her head and looked at the tall castle-like gate. The entrance was very realistic. When they stood at the entrance, they felt as if they were standing on top of a city wall. A patch of lush green ivy hung down from the wall vigorously, covering most of the wall.
"It's that — I don't know what it's called — the place where the archer stays. It should be able to hide someone." Livia pointed at it for Lin Sanjiu. Then, she nodded at the Growth-type behind them.
Lin Sanjiu grabbed the ivy and tested its tenacity. Then, she and the other Growth-type called Zagger followed behind Livia and climbed up the wall.
It was already yesterday that he met Aker.
After listening to his suggestion, Lin Sanjiu thought about it carefully for the whole night. However, she still couldn't make up her mind. In the end, she decided to check out the situation first.
According to Aker's words. Santa Claus had lured them out just so he could use his [Wish] ability again. Lin Sanjiu wasn't sure if that was true or not. Fortunately, other than Lin Sanjiu and the dead Yi Dong, there was another male Growth-type. They lost contact after entering the amusement park. If there were no accidents, the young man would probably leave the park today and meet Santa Claus as agreed.
In that case, Lin Sanjiu's best option was to follow him and see what would happen next. After saying a bunch of reasons that she couldn't remember at all. Aker had also sent a member of the Progressor Alliance to accompany them.
After hiding, they quietly waited under the sun for more than an hour. Finally, they saw a figure coming from the "Great Bear Path" in the distance.
That person wasn't walking fast. It was as if every step he took weighed a thousand pounds. Under Lin Sanjiu's anxious gaze, it took him quite a while to get close to the gate. Even though Lin Sanjiu didn't know his name, his facial features, hairstyle, and clothes were all familiar. He was the fourth Growth-type that was caught with her and brought to the amusement park.
The young man stepped through the gate and disappeared from Lin Sanjiu's sight. Instantly the figure disappeared from view; a moment later he reappeared at the other end of the door.
On the rocky beach outside the gate, there was still not a single shadow of a person.
The fourth man seemed a little uneasy. He circled the rocky beach a few times before he finally stood still.
Under the anxious gazes of the four pairs of eyes, the rocky beach remained quiet for a long time. Not even a single fish jumped out of the water, let alone Santa Claus.
Just when Lin Sanjiu started to suspect that Santa Claus would not show up again, a whirlwind suddenly rose from the sea in the distance. The surface of the sea burst open abruptly, forming a snow-white spray in the air. Then, a golden sleigh rushed out of the sea. It landed on the rocky beach with a loud thud.
A huge figure clad in green was squeezed at the front of the sleigh as if he was stuck. When Lin Sanjiu saw Santa Claus, she held her breath.
Under her hypersensory state, Lin Sanjiu could clearly feel that the other two people beside her had also stopped breathing. After all, Santa Claus was an enigma. No one could tell what kind of ability he had. If they could, Livia and Zagge wished they could lower their body temperature.
They couldn't do that, but Lin Sanjiu, whose control over her body had reached a whole new level, could. Under her deliberate control, the blood in her veins gradually slowed down, and soon her face became pale and blue, as if she had been out in the open air for a long time in winter. Her body was obviously cold.
Perhaps their efforts were effective. Santa Claus on the stone beach in the distance quickly got out of the sleigh and looked around. He didn't seem to notice that there were three people hiding on the castle gate.
"Why are you alone?"
The first roar, through Santa Claus' unique thick but slippery voice, echoed loudly on the stone beach. The male posthuman seemed to have said something, but Lin Sanjiu didn't hear it clearly. She saw him take two steps forward. Santa Claus immediately turned his body and tilted his head slowly toward him.
Whenever he did that, Santa Claus's head behind his fluffy, curly beard would look as if it was going to fall off at any moment.
"What are they talking about?" Livia couldn't help asking in a low voice. "I can't hear anything."
Lin Sanjiu bit her lip and didn't answer. At this distance, she couldn't hear anything other than a vague human voice. The only thing she could be sure of was that Santa Claus's voice had suddenly become sweet and smooth. Even his voice had become softer.
From afar, the male posthuman shook his head and took a few steps back. From his back, he seemed to be panicking.
The tall and stout Santa Claus immediately took a step forward and followed closely behind the man. His bushy beard quivered a few times and he let out a laugh.
Then, the male posthuman suddenly turned around and ran. In a blink of an eye, he dashed into the gate of the amusement park. His body was so fast that it looked like a blur. However, Santa Claus didn't move. He just stood there and stared at the male posthuman.
Just when the male posthuman was about to disappear from Lin Sanjiu's sight, Santa Claus suddenly moved.
In that instant, he completely transformed into a green shadow. Santa Claus was so fast that he seemed to have transcended the physical barrier of space. Before Lin Sanjiu could react, Santa Claus had already arrived beside the male posthuman. While Lin Sanjiu was still in shock, the male posthuman's head had already flown far away.
[He didn't die by exploding in the middle of his waist!]
Lin Sanjiu shuddered. She couldn't tell whether it was because she was afraid or because she felt relieved. [If that wish-granting ability is still effective...] [Why does Santa Claus have to change his way of killing?]
"That's great!" Livia couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
[It seems like what Aker said is true...]
Lin Sanjiu heaved a sigh of relief. Her eyes were still fixed on Santa Claus, and she did not dare to relax.
Santa Claus, who rushed into the amusement park in order to chase after the target, was now standing next to the headless body. He seemed to be very careful. After all, for a non-Growth-type. "The Starry Carnival Amusement Park is a place where death is certain …" He cautiously walked towards "Grizzly Path". When he was about to leave Lin Sanjiu's line of sight, he stopped.
A sign was erected in front of Santa Claus, blocking his way.
Lin Sanjiu was very familiar with what was written on the signboard.
She watched as Santa Claus bent down and read the words on the sign. She didn't know why, but she began to feel a little flustered.
He seemed to have forgotten something …
"Players! Players!" Just as she was feeling uncomfortable, a gun-like roar suddenly erupted from a distance. Santa Claus's "ah ah" was heard. "… You are all Growth-types! Alright, alright! Just you wait and see — "
At that moment, Lin Sanjiu's hair stood on end. She suddenly realized that she had neglected something.
In the next second, she took out the Santa hat magnet as fast as she could and threw it far away in the direction of the rocky beach.
Almost at the same time, the figure of Santa Claus in the distance suddenly turned into a green light and disappeared into the air. Then, from the small magnet of the Santa Claus hat that had yet to fall to the ground, a huge human figure suddenly burst out.
"Run!"
Lin Sanjiu shouted at Livia and Aker, who had yet to react. She turned around and dashed towards the wall behind her.
There was no one on the rocky beach, but in the blink of an eye, the Santa hat magnet she used to locate Santa Claus fell from the air. Santa Claus had already realized what had happened. His eyes turned bloodshot as he let out a deafening roar from outside the castle gate.
Lin Sanjiu's heart almost leaped out of her chest. Since she was in such a state of unease, her hypersensory senses had already retreated. At this moment, she didn't dare to think about anything else. She focused all her attention on her feet and ran as fast as she could. She wasn't safe until she entered the first arena!
The air in her lungs was so thin that it was scorching. Lin Sanjiu rushed towards the Frog Route that she came from. Just as she was about to enter the "Bumper Karts" arena, she struggled to look back.
Just as Santa Claus' hand was about to touch her back, Lin Sanjiu leaped into the arena through the entrance.
At the same time, a caterpillar was cruising leisurely on Grizzly Path.
In the eyes of the amusement park, this caterpillar was an alien lifeform without any intelligence. Hence, they did not encounter any of the attractions along the way. The cat doctor was almost bored out of his mind.
"Before I came to this world, I have never seen so many strange lifeforms," Soulsqn, who had been crawling behind the caterpillar, couldn't help but comment after the cat doctor started talking. Soulsqn, who had been crawling behind Lin Sanjiu, could not help but say, "Not only intelligent animals like you, but even the man who just passed by us is a species that we have never seen before."
"What?" The cat doctor twitched his ears and tilted his head to recall. They had indeed passed by a male posthuman just now. The man had also seen the great green insect. However, he didn't even bat an eyelid and continued on his way. No matter how they looked at it, that man was just an ordinary human posthuman.
