Geran wasn't a person with high combat ability.
Lin Sanjiu suddenly had a clear thought when she saw the ordinary-looking young man walking slowly towards her through the countless layers of rocks and towering land.
When a posthuman's combat ability reached a certain level, it was just like a person's true personality. Even though they could hide it well, there would always be some clues.
However, the Geran in front of her right now didn't seem much different from the posthumans who traveled back and forth in the Free District of Red Nautilus. If they were somewhere else, Lin Sanjiu wouldn't even spare him a second glance.
Puppeteer, who was sitting not far behind her, snorted. He didn't move or stand up.
"I thought you were dead," Lin Sanjiu pursed her lips and stared at the man not far from her.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Pumpkin Route was riddled with holes. Geran stopped in front of a deep crevice. He lowered his head and looked down. Then, he raised his head and said softly, "Miss Lin, you have never seen me before.
You can only see a shadow and a pair of glasses after my 'death'. "
Lin Sanjiu immediately thought of the pair of glasses that she had put away. She looked at Geran's face, which was exactly the same as hers. She couldn't help feeling a fire burning in her heart, "Aker is one of your people, right? What's in it for you to deliberately deceive me? "
Geran sighed and turned to look at Puppeteer, who was standing behind her. It seemed like even he found it hard to say what he was going to say next.
"Miss Lin," Geran's tone could even be considered gentle, "I don't mean to offend you, but what I did wasn't directed at you. You are probably too used to treating yourself as a target."
Even though Lin Sanjiu considered herself to be a calm person, she couldn't help blushing when she heard what he said. She narrowed her eyes and an angry glint flashed across her amber pupils, "What do you mean by that?"
"I believe you understand. Even though I didn't pass the message to you personally and I hid some information from you, my plan has always been open and aboveboard. My target has always been the same. To me, you just happen to be someone who can come in handy. After this, it doesn't matter who lives or dies between us. "
He could see it. Geran seemed to feel that it was rather embarrassing for him to be so direct. He seemed to be trying his best to take care of Lin Sanjiu's emotions. He chose his words carefully, "You were never my target from the very beginning. I don't even know what you look like. When I first met you in the haunted house, you were not my target. I didn't recognize you at all. I just didn't want to see a Growth-type die, so I couldn't help but warn you. "
"When you knocked on the door of room 601, I was standing at the corner of the staircase. I only realized who you were after I heard your conversation with Livia. At that moment, I realized that I couldn't let you continue to complete the haunted house with me. The longer we spend time together, the more obvious the flaws will be. Furthermore, there's still Aker. Was there a better way than to fake death? As long as I call out to you from behind, you won't even be able to turn around to check if I'm really dead. "
Geran lowered his head and adjusted his spectacles. For a moment there was a sudden coolness in his expression of bland politeness; it was as if he were weary of propriety. The corner of his mouth drooped coldly.
"As long as Zhang Tian can — oh, the person with the magnet. He seems to be dead — bring Santa Claus here, and you can keep Puppeteer here, that's enough for me. As for what will happen to you and Zhang Tian, it was never within my consideration … Luckily, you survived the haunted house. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to find another person to replace you. "
Geran smiled at her after he finished speaking. Then, he looked at Puppeteer again.
The anger that had been ignited just now had been suppressed by Lin Sanjiu. After taking a few deep breaths, Lin Sanjiu managed to suppress it completely.
Geran was right. Compared to Puppeteer and Lin Sanjiu, she couldn't be considered as a target.
"How did Santa Claus know that I'm here?" Lin Sanjiu wanted to ask. Coincidentally, Puppeteer's voice came from behind her. His voice sounded soft, "You must have helped him, right?"
Geran nodded at him.
"To be honest, Mr. Puppeteer, I'm quite surprised that you're still alive. Before today, I had made some guesses and comparisons between the two of you. At the very least, both of you should have sustained some serious injuries. At that time, I didn't know that Santa Claus was a duoluozhong. Mr. Puppeteer, your injuries should be far more serious than this. "
After he said that, he looked at Lin Sanjiu and smiled, "Miss Lin, this is the variable that happened because of you. It's quite interesting, isn't it? You didn't take it to heart, but you caused such a huge consequence … "
Lin Sanjiu couldn't be bothered to listen to his speech. She immediately interrupted Geran coldly, "Cut the crap! Let me ask you, where did you put Reno and Rena? "
"Those two kids are precious Growth-types," Geran replied confidently. "Don't worry, I won't hurt them. It's just that I don't like some of their thoughts … Fortunately, they are still young, so they can still change. I have already sent them away for further education. They are safe now. "
"As long as they are safe, that's more important than anything else." Lin Sanjiu heaved a sigh of relief. Her brows furrowed slightly.
"What do I have to do to make you release them?"
However, the person who answered her wasn't Geran but Puppeteer.
Puppeteer's voice was filled with sarcasm. She didn't know when he had appeared on Lin Sanjiu's left. Puppeteer's lips were as white as his face. He didn't even look at Lin Sanjiu. Instead, he stared at Geran and smiled, "His target is the grand prize. Now that Santa Claus and I are both injured and dead, he has already gotten half of the grand prize. Right now, you can't offer him anything that would make him agree to exchange with you. "
Puppeteer, who admitted that he was injured, didn't look too good. His entire body was drenched in sweat and blood, but Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell where he was injured or what kind of injury it was. It had only been a short while, but his face seemed to have become skinnier. His chin was pointy and bloodless.
The bespectacled young man tilted his head noncommittally. After a few seconds, he chuckled, "As expected of Mr. Puppeteer, who has been working with us for so long."
"Then, let me create a condition for you!" Lin Sanjiu was infuriated, but before she could finish her sentence, Lin Sanjiu's eyes lit up. Before she could finish her sentence, she had already raised her wings and shot forward like an arrow. She couldn't kill Santa Claus, but it didn't mean that she couldn't take down Geran!
Puppeteer's face scrunched up. He seemed to want to say something, but he shut his mouth tightly. In the next second, Lin Sanjiu's two large skeletal wings smashed into the spot where Geran was standing. A cloud of dust rose into the air. She used so much force that even the ground shook a few times from the impact.
However, when the dust and smoke slowly settled down, Geran's white bones only pierced into the ground.
"Miss Lin."
Far away, on another rock that jutted out of the sky. Geran's voice could be heard.
Lin Sanjiu unsheathed her wings and slowly turned her head.
Her hypersensory state had been activated. She was 100% sure that it was impossible for Geran to escape from her attack. At the very least, it was impossible for him to escape on his own.
"My Potential Growth Value is not considered high." Geran stood quietly on the rock as he glanced at the two of them a few times. His voice was calm as he said, "As a Growth-type, my main combat ability is quite weak. However, since I dared to appear here, I naturally can't rely on my own strength. "
A special item …?
Lin Sanjiu narrowed her eyes.
It was as if he had guessed what she was thinking. Geran nodded, "... I came here after making ample preparations. Miss Lin, I advise you not to underestimate your enemy."
"What do you plan to do now?" Puppeteer suddenly asked. His wet black hair hung down, and his snow-white, mocking smile was faintly discernible. "… You want to fight me head-on with just a few small tools?"
Perhaps it was because Lin Sanjiu had fought side by side with him that they had a better understanding of each other. Lin Sanjiu sighed inwardly. She had no idea how badly injured Puppeteer was, but logically speaking, he should not be able to use the few powerful abilities that he had just used. Moreover, how many Special Items could he have that were almost like cheat-like items? Lin Sanjiu thought to herself.
In fact, Puppeteer had not made a move yet. On the other hand, the fact that he allowed Geran to talk for a few minutes spoke volumes.
"No," Geran denied without hesitation. His attitude was rather magnanimous, "The two of you should know that I am not an ordinary person. I am a very cautious person. If I didn't have a hundred percent chance of defeating the two of you here, I wouldn't have shown myself. It's about time now. "
Lin Sanjiu shuddered. Before she could figure out what "time is up" meant, the ground beneath her feet shook violently with a rumbling sound. She was standing at the edge of the fissure. Lin Sanjiu almost fell into the fissure. She quickly steadied herself and looked up. The walls of the amusement park were closing up once again.
"More people are coming out!"
Judging from the time it took for the walls to close up, there was definitely more than one person coming out this time.
Lin Sanjiu and Puppeteer could hear Geran's smiling voice clearly. "I remember that Mr. Puppeteer, who is known for his arrogance, once warned me," Mr. Puppeteer, who is known for his arrogance, said, "
"Don't think that you are powerful just because you have more people. To me, no matter how many people the Alliance has, they are just reserve puppets." Although I've always kept this in mind, I can't agree with it … When you get your hands on a suitable Special Item and combine it with different abilities, even a group of ordinary Growth-types that you usually look down on can turn this piece of land into a nightmare. "
The rumbling gradually died down, and footsteps could be heard coming out of the stadium one after another. Judging from the sound, there were at least ten people walking out of the stadium.
"This guy … Could it be that he made one?
Is it coming? "
Puppeteer's face scrunched up as he muttered to himself.
"If you call it a formation, you are underestimating me …" Geran caught Puppeteer's words and immediately chuckled. "However, if it can help you understand it, I will just call it a formation. I am also very anxious to kill two Growth-types in one go today — Eh? "
Just like how he could hear Puppeteer and Puppeteer's conversation, Lin Sanjiu immediately caught his "Eh?" Lin Sanjiu's line of sight was blocked by the rocks and soil in front of her. When she heard Geran's words, she immediately leaped onto a large rock.
When she looked down, she was stunned.
Actually, she didn't recognize any of the people who walked out of the amusement park.
No, it should be said that even though they were completely different people, her higher consciousness could still clearly recognize the group of … living beings in front of her.
There were men and women, and most of them were young adults. Some of them had normal eyes, but some of their pupils were so black that they looked like they were about to blur. At the very end of this group of people, there was a thin and short figure that followed them out of the arena. That figure seemed to have sensed something and looked up. Under the starry night sky, half of the terrifying face that seemed to have melted together was revealed.
"Lin Sanjiu?" Geran looked as if he had seen a ghost when the small figure called out.
"Soulsqn?"
Lin Sanjiu would never have imagined that Geran's secret weapon was the Souls that she had "subdued" a long time ago. Lin Sanjiu immediately realized that she had misunderstood the situation.
A smile appeared on Lin Sanjiu's face. She couldn't help laughing a few times. She jumped off the rock and rushed to Puppeteer's side. She hit his shoulder hard a few times and said, "Geran's people have been killed by my people!"
Geran's words were hard to understand if he did not know the cause and effect. Geran's face turned red from shock, anger, and doubt. Although he noticed the changes in his subordinates, he could not understand what was going on at the moment.
However, he knew that he didn't need to understand. Without saying a word, Geran turned around and rushed to the back of the rock.
Before Lin Sanjiu could catch up to him, he stopped in the next second.
"Where are you going?" A pair of large green eyes peeked out from behind a rock without warning. "… Don't move, I still have something to ask you."
