Obviously, Ji Shanqing knew his value very well.
After traveling through the mirror maze for so long, the grand prize was no longer just a tempting reward. More importantly, it was an exit from the pocket dimension. No posthuman could resist the hope of "seeing the light of day again". When Ji Shanqing trapped everyone who was interested in him in a room and told them that only the winner could see the grand prize, everyone was pushed to the edge of a needle.
After the first exchange of blows, everyone's eyes were bloodshot.
Because of Ji Shanqing's last sentence, everyone's first target was "Lin Sanjiu, who had gained a slight advantage".
Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath. She could feel her blood coursing through her veins due to her high excitement. Relying on her strong control over her limbs, she managed to keep her fingertips from moving even an inch.
Ji Shanqing had spoken for a few seconds, but no one acted rashly. The air in the mirror maze was like a heavy cotton ball soaked in water. It pressed down on everyone's windpipe, making it hard for them to breathe.
With every passing second, Lin Sanjiu grew more anxious.
Even though the three people in front of her couldn't see her, she didn't dare to forget about the ten or so black spheres floating around her.
As long as she didn't move, the black spheres would float quietly. They looked like decorations around her. However, when she turned her head slightly, the black spheres seemed to come alive. They rushed toward the body she had just moved. Even though Lin Sanjiu didn't know what the black spheres were going to do, she could smell the faint smell of gunpowder when she was in her hypersensory state.
However, how could she not move when a fierce battle was about to break out?
A few drops of cold sweat slid down her back. They touched the base of her wings and seeped into her clothes.
"Miss Lin," Geran stood between the old man and the green jelly. His face was pale as he smiled, "There are some things. I really can't force it. "
Lin Sanjiu didn't even blink.
"Where's your friend, Puppeteer? And that strange cat … Why don't I see them? " Geran rubbed his hands and sighed, "... I guess they all died in this final race. After all, it's so easy to kill someone here, right? "
"Thump." Lin Sanjiu's heart sank uncontrollably.
This was what she was afraid of. If Puppeteer managed to find the cat doctor and the others using his puppeteer method, then if he decided to turn around and go back to where they came from, they would all explode into a bloody mess. Lin Sanjiu had seen a few times before.
"I'll tell you," the short old man stared at Lin Sanjiu. As if he suddenly thought of something, the corner of his mouth, which was still stained with blood, curled up. "… I think everyone should agree, right? First, we have to get rid of this guy who has gained a slight advantage. After that, it will be up to us to decide who the grand prize will be. "
"Fair," Geran said softly. The green jelly trembled a few times.
"Great," the old man laughed hoarsely. Then, he said casually, "Now, let's do it!"
Lin Sanjiu's body trembled. Before she could look up to see what was happening, she already knew something was wrong. Her [Tornado Whip] obviously couldn't deal with the three people in front of her. She quickly pinched the [Vibroblade] card in her hand. Just as a gust of wind blew in front of her, the [Vibroblade] card shot out.
When the card was a few meters away from her hand, it transformed into a knife in the air. It pierced through the attacker's body without any resistance and flew backward. Just as it was about to fall to the ground, a hand caught it. Geran looked up and smiled at Lin Sanjiu.
Lin Sanjiu cursed inwardly.
She didn't expect that the first person to pounce on her would be the green jelly.
The green jelly's body was more than half the width of a human's body. The [Vibroblade] pierced through the "jelly" part of his body that had no internal organs. The green jelly let out a gurgling sound. Then, its trembling body closed once again. He retreated a few steps back as if nothing had happened.
The jelly's body didn't look like much, but it had saved his life twice in a row.
Lin Sanjiu didn't have the time to feel sorry for her knife. She quickly glanced at the black orbs and found that they only moved slightly. She heaved a sigh of relief. However, before she could completely exhale, something unexpected happened.
The old man hiding behind the green jelly leaped down from the air.
He didn't attack with his limbs or use any Special Items. Lin Sanjiu widened her eyes as the short, skinny, monkey-like figure in the air spread his arms wide open. Then, he swooped down toward her.
Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to use her skeletal wings. She activated her [Mosaic Censorship] and charged her palm toward the figure. However, at the same time, the black orbs also moved. They whizzed toward Lin Sanjiu's hands. "Before I hit the old man, I have to hit the black orbs first!"
Lin Sanjiu cursed inwardly. She twisted her body and retracted her hand. The next second, the black orbs blocked her vision.
Unexpectedly, she didn't feel like she was touched by anything at all.
"Where is he?"
Lin Sanjiu raised her head and looked around. She couldn't find the old man anywhere in the mirror chamber. He was like a bubble that had been exposed to sunlight. She didn't know when he had melted and disappeared.
Before he could finish this thought, his vision suddenly darkened. A short and small figure suddenly appeared in the air as quickly as it came, landing back in the corner with a "thump" and standing up straight. It was the old man with loose eyelids.
His triangular eyes revealed a hint of excitement. He stared at Lin Sanjiu and said, "Guys, she can't move at all now."
Lin Sanjiu was shocked. She felt her face go numb. Then, she felt Geran and Green Jelly staring at her.
"Just now, a posthuman used his ability to control her movements. Even though that posthuman is dead, the effect is still there." For some reason, the old man's tone was very smooth. He didn't sound like he was speculating at all. "No matter what she does, she will be attacked the moment she moves."
"Amazing. Amazing, "Geran retracted his gaze. He looked at the old man with sparkling eyes," Did you manage to detect that in just a few seconds? "
The old man snorted and laughed. "That's nothing. She still has a protective barrier on her body. Besides that, she was planning to use an ability to retaliate against me. It seemed that if her hands touched me, the consequences would be severe. "
Lin Sanjiu was stunned on the spot. It wasn't unusual for a person to deduce their ability based on their actions, but in that short moment, the old man had already figured out every single detail of her condition!
The ability to detect the enemy's information. It was truly too terrifying!
At this moment, the three of them were looking at her as if she was already dead.
"Can't I move?" Lin Sanjiu calmed herself down and forced a smile, "Why don't you guys come up and give it a try?"
The first to make a move was neither Geran nor the old man. The green jelly suddenly trembled and a dozen dazzling miniature "lightning bolts" appeared in the air. The mirror chamber was sometimes as bright as day and sometimes dark and chaotic. The crackling lightning made it hard for Lin Sanjiu to keep her eyes open. She had to rely on the goosebumps all over her body to identify the lightning bolts that slithered in the air like living snakes.
The dozen of "lightning bolts" suddenly disappeared into the darkness and suddenly lit up. For a moment, Lin Sanjiu's vision was blurred by the intense flashes of white light. At this point, Lin Sanjiu couldn't care less about the little black orbs beside her. She lowered her body and felt a scorching heat rushing past her body.
Before Lin Sanjiu could catch her breath, the black orbs swam toward her arms and abdomen like sharks. In the next second, before Lin Sanjiu could even feel the pain, she saw her own flesh and blood splattering all over her body. The worst part was that the black orbs seemed to have shrunk a little bit compared to before.
The splatter of blood seemed to have provoked the lightning bolts around her to become even more ferocious. They roared and attacked Lin Sanjiu one after another as if they were besieging a city.
Lin Sanjiu didn't have time to tend to her wounds. She used all her strength to dodge the lightning bolts. She barely dodged them, but it was inevitable. Another part of her skin and flesh was smashed by the little black orbs.
"Damn it!"
Lin Sanjiu finally cursed.
Even if they weren't as powerful as the lightning bolts, she would be worn down to death by these two things if this continued!
She had to think of a way...
"Huh?"
Lin Sanjiu's attention was caught by something that happened in the blink of an eye.
Each of the little black orbs was like a miniature bomb. Even a posthuman's tough body would be bitten off by them. All that was left was a mess of flesh and blood; some of the wounds were so deep that the bones could be seen. However, when Lin Sanjiu unintentionally looked down, she realized that the moment the wound formed, it had stopped bleeding.
She was stunned for a few seconds. Then, she realized that her wounds were covered by her higher consciousness.
"Thank you," Lin Sanjiu said to Mrs. Manas in her mind. "You have inspired me."
In the next second, a few dazzling white lightning bolts struck at her. Lin Sanjiu rolled over in a flustered manner and shouted a few words at the top of her lungs.
"MY GRAND PRIZE!"
This time, the shadowy figures on the other side of the mirror maze stirred. They couldn't sit still anymore.
The mystery that haunted them was the "slight advantage" that Ji Shanqing had mentioned. What if the "slight advantage" that Lin Sanjiu had was the grand prize? After all, the Starry Carnival Amusement Park was a place that treated killing games as family fun.
When the other two people pounced on Lin Sanjiu, even though Geran had his doubts, he had no choice but to follow them.
The few lightning bolts hit the surface of the mirror, causing a cloud of smoke to rise. Behind the smoke was Lin Sanjiu, who was covered in wounds. She looked at the posthumans who were staring at her with bloodshot eyes. Lin Sanjiu finally flashed a sincere smile.
"Come on," she called out softly. Then, like an agile cheetah, she charged at the posthumans without any hesitation.
It was as if Lin Sanjiu wasn't afraid of the little black orbs anymore. Just as she was about to collide with the posthumans, she twisted her body gracefully in the air. Her skeletal wings spread out like flowing water. The little black orbs had been chasing after Lin Sanjiu, but when they were blocked by her skeletal wings, they immediately gathered around her skeletal wings.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. However, everything happened in the blink of an eye. In the next second, the black ball exploded into a cloud of white bone fragments.
This was a genuine pain that seeped into the bone marrow.
In an instant, Lin Sanjiu's body was drenched in cold sweat. Mrs. Manas' voice echoed in her mind, "Now!" She clenched her teeth. He instantly released his Willpower.
The amount of bone that could form a two-meter wing was almost immeasurable when it was shattered into pieces. It was like a snowstorm. However, unlike snow, these sharp, steel-like, blade-like spikes could shatter under the control of Lin Sanjiu's higher consciousness. They shot out like a torrential storm.
For a second or two, everyone's eyes were filled with the whiteness of death.
The first thing that told Lin Sanjiu that her plan had succeeded was the sudden disappearance of Lightning.
Even his jelly-like body had been crushed into a pile of slippery, slimy, and sticky substance under such intense, concentrated, and ferocious attacks. When the jelly-like shell had completely turned into a muddy soup, the exposed internal organs had also been beaten into a hornet's nest.
Green jelly, death.
The old man's current appearance was no better than a dead jelly. The loose skin on his face had long been smashed into pieces, hanging from his facial bones along with the shredded muscles. His eye sockets were filled with white bone fragments. If it weren't for the "hah hah" sounds coming from his mouth, no one would have thought that he was a living person.
Geran was the only one. It was all thanks to his strong suspicion and quick vigilance that even though he was riddled with wounds, they were all flesh wounds.
Lin Sanjiu panted heavily. She ignored Geran's pale face and swept her gaze across the small black orbs beside her.
The surface area of the wings was large and it was very hard. It was incomparable to the destruction of a human body. Hence, she had used up more than half of the small black orbs. However, there were still five to six smaller black orbs floating around her.
"Damn it," Lin Sanjiu cursed. She didn't move her body, but the figure in front of her suddenly moved. Lin Sanjiu immediately looked up.
Even though Geran was so frightened by the situation that his face was drained of all color, he still managed to move himself to the side of the half-dead old man. Then, he extended his hand and patted the old man's body.
While Lin Sanjiu was still in a daze, Geran took a deep breath and smiled. He seemed to be very satisfied as he smiled slowly.
"It's just you and me again, Miss Lin," he said gently as he waved a square box in his hand. "I'm sorry. It seems like the grand prize is mine."
Seeing that Lin Sanjiu was staring at him without saying anything, Geran smiled again. "This is my trump card," he said slowly.
"This is the last thing I have prepared," he said slowly. "It doesn't matter whether I tell you or not. I'll tell you."
"You know that my combat ability isn't good. The reason why I dared to come here alone is because of this [Empty-handed Kleptomaniac]. With it, no matter who it is or how strong they are, as long as I pat their body with [Empty-handed Kleptomaniac], I can use their combat ability. " Geran stood up slowly. For some reason, Lin Sanjiu found the expression on his face very familiar, "No matter how powerful you are, it's useless to be too naive … You will soon find out how terrifying the combat ability of the person I'm about to use is. However, I still managed to trick him into using his combat ability …"
"He-Hei Zeji?" When Lin Sanjiu saw the familiar expression on Geran's face, she couldn't help but cry out. (To be continued.)
