Honestly speaking, Lin Sanjiu did not expect that her plan of going with the flow could achieve such an effect.
Perhaps, when a person's life was on the line, their brain would work especially fast. At the moment before the torrent hit her, Lin Sanjiu seemed to have been "enlightened". She saw the situation clearly and immediately thought of a solution. It was very simple. She just had to play dead.
Be it Ji Shanqing or Geran, both of them were intelligent people who were good at scheming. At least, they were much smarter than Lin Sanjiu. However, perhaps it was because she was too involved in the situation that she could not see clearly, Lin Sanjiu discovered a loophole in the dense layers of plans and calculations that no one was prepared for.
Who would determine who was the one who died?
If the rule of "everyone fighting until the last winner" was indeed set up by the Starry Carnival Amusement Park, then with the omnipresent and undetectable ability of the pocket dimension, it was possible that the pocket dimension could immediately determine who was dead and who was still alive. However, this rule was just a lie that Ji Shanqing came up with.
His judgment of the situation was based on what he saw with his own eyes and what the posthumans said. When he saw that Geran was the last person standing, he naturally thought that everyone else was dead. After all, Geran's attack was too powerful. Ji Shanqing had no reason not to believe it.
However, Geran attacked while he was in Hei Zeji's state.
After spending a few days with Hei Zeji and interacting with him, Lin Sanjiu had a general understanding of him. Other than his bad temper and terrifying combat ability, Lin Sanjiu could vaguely sense what Hei Zeji would do and what he wouldn't do. For example, he would stab someone who seemed to be dead.
Hei Zeji wasn't the type of person to stab someone after the fact.
To him, if his opponent looked dead, then they were dead. He was confident in the power of each of his attacks. Even if his opponent wasn't dead, he could kill them 17 or 18 times. Killing someone was something that Geran, who was cautious by nature, would do.
However, Geran had almost blind faith in Hei Zeji's combat system.
Hei Zeji's battle prowess was probably more than a hundred times that of Geran. Since even he thought that he had already completed the task, Geran was naturally not worried.
When a person looked at the world from his own point of view for a long time, he would often subconsciously think that other people's point of view should be similar to his own.
Hence, when Lin Sanjiu intentionally turned her head to make it look as if her neck was broken, she did not hear Geran's footsteps coming towards her. Instead, she heard him shouting excitedly and Ji Shanqing clapping his hands as he walked out of the mirror.
Even though her body was on the verge of collapsing, Lin Sanjiu still smirked.
She would let Ji Shanqing deal with Geran for her.
"That's why I really have to thank you," Lin Sanjiu forced a smile. She picked up the [Ability Polishing Agent] from the ground and shone it at the man. Every breath she took took a lot of effort to get into her lungs. "… This guy is really tricky to deal with."
Under the silver light, Ji Shanqing's expression was as ugly as it could be.
Once a player recognized him, he wouldn't be able to leave.
"You are really hard to deal with." Ji Shanqing took a deep breath as if he was trying hard to calm himself down. "To be honest, I'm starting to admire your stubbornness. I can't get rid of you no matter how hard I try to kill you … Hmm, I admire you, but I'm also annoyed."
Lin Sanjiu grinned, revealing a row of white teeth through the blood stains.
"However, looking at your current state, you are probably not far from death." Ji Shanqing was obviously angered by her smile. He said coldly, "You should have thought that since I suggested this duel, I would naturally be prepared. After all, there is a possibility that you will kill everyone else."
As he said that, he waved his hand lightly. The "Geran" seemed to have received his order. They escorted the real Geran away, leaving an empty space in the middle for them.
"Do you think that the grand prize doesn't have any combat ability? Even if you are just a kid, I can send you to your death with just a simple move, "Ji Shanqing said softly as he waited for Lin Sanjiu's reaction.
However, to his surprise, the bloody person in front of him sat on the floor with a thud. No, rather than sitting, she fell. Lin Sanjiu panted heavily. She didn't even look at Ji Shanqing. She seemed to have given up on herself. She stuttered, "Okay, okay. Come."
Ji Shanqing was really angry this time. He let out a low growl, lowered his body, and rushed forward. Suddenly, a ribbon appeared in his hands, which were exposed from under the cloak. Suddenly, a ribbon appeared out of nowhere.
Lin Sanjiu was still lying on the floor, looking like a dead salted fish. It was as if her opponent was not worthy of her getting up. Just when Ji Shanqing's hand was about to touch this hateful woman, he suddenly felt a grip around his ankle. Suddenly, someone grabbed his leg and pulled him backward. Then, he lost his balance and slammed his face into the floor.
… It looks like it's going to hurt a lot.
Even though Lin Sanjiu was covered in wounds, she still had the leisure to gasp for Ji Shanqing. Before she could finish her breath, she sprang forward like a bolt of lightning. While Ji Shanqing was still struggling to get up, she pressed both of her hands on his back.
The underling's body suddenly stopped moving.
"Alright, alright," he heard the woman on his back panting. "You guys can leave. It's quite expensive … Oh yes, bring me that person."
"What do you mean by expensive?"
Ji Shanqing didn't dare to let the two hands on his back think that he was trying to break free. He turned his head slowly and saw that the two "Gerans" had just let go of his ankle. They walked back to the group of people and brought the real Geran over. They pressed him down on the floor.
Ji Shanqing was dumbfounded.
Hundreds of thoughts ran through his mind like a galloping horse. In the end, all of them fused into one question. Before he could recover from the shock, he heard Lin Sanjiu's annoying laughter behind his back. She answered his question at the right time, "Hey, I have an ability that allows me to control living beings … However, you fell after being pulled by my ankle. As expected, the grand prize's combat ability is just average."
Of course, she was referring to Scrooge McDuck's [Scrooge-McDuck Power]. Lin Sanjiu couldn't fight any more battles unless she had someone else to replace her. She had used up most of her remaining Stamina when she jumped out of the room.
Even though she had only controlled two "Gerans", she had already exhausted a lot of her Stamina Points. Her Stamina Points were depleting at an alarming rate. When she saw that her Stamina Points were almost depleted, she quickly called for a stop.
"If I were you, I would just stay still," Lin Sanjiu placed her hands on Ji Shanqing's back. Rather than threatening him, it was more like she was using his body to support herself, "I have another ability. It's [Mosaic Censorship] … Ah, it's too troublesome to explain. You should just lie down … Do I need to take off your clothes now?"
Ji Shanqing's face immediately turned red. He quickly turned his head and glared at Lin Sanjiu from the corner of his eyes, "Don't! Don't touch me! Let me tell you, you haven't succeeded yet! "
"Huh?" Lin Sanjiu, who was untying a belt, stopped.
"Once I'm taken apart, I will no longer exist," Ji Shanqing said with a sneer and a hint of fear in his voice, "Then, these mirror images will all leave. Without them, this man will be brought into the mirror. After a while, he will slowly return to his original state … Displacement is just using the particles of the mirror image to replace his original existence. This is the only way to pull him into the mirror and make him unable to come out again. "
He continued without changing his breath, "If you don't kill him now, it will seem like you are old friends with him. I believe he still has some use for you, right? If you take me apart, no one will be able to control him. When he wakes up later, won't you just kill him with a single touch? "
Even though Ji Shanqing knew that no one could resist the temptation of the grand prize, he did not give up. He was like a cornered man. Even if he only had a wooden stick in his hand, he would still try to swing it in desperation. Lin Sanjiu did not say anything.
Lin Sanjiu did not say anything. She looked at Ji Shanqing and then at Geran, who had a blank expression on his face.
Originally, Geran only had Rena and Rena's whereabouts. Now, Hei Zeji was added to the equation. Geran could not give up no matter what. However, if what Ji Shanqing said was true, that he needed to control Geran...
"Wait, control?
I have an idea! "
Lin Sanjiu's spirits lifted. She couldn't help smiling. She pressed her hands harder against the mirror and said softly, "Don't worry. I still have enough Stamina Points."
"What does this have to do with Stamina Points?" Ji Shanqing was stunned. However, he had already used all the methods he could think of. There was nothing else he could do. He pressed his face against the mirror numbly. His throat was dry and he felt something tickling at the corner of his eye. He mumbled, "Can you really not take me apart?"
He really didn't know what to do.
As the grand prize, this was the first time in Ji Shanqing's short five months of life that he felt death so close to him.
However, a soft female voice rang in his ears like a clap of thunder, "Sure."
Ji Shanqing immediately raised his head. He could feel the pair of hands on his back. He stammered as if he was afraid that the other party was teasing him, "Wh … What? You … you're not going to take me apart? "
"I can spare your life for now," Lin Sanjiu replied quietly. "But let me make this clear first. Even though I won't take you apart, you will still belong to me, right?"
"Is she serious?"
After much consideration, Ji Shanqing bit his lip and nodded slowly. He felt as if his head weighed a thousand pounds.
Almost at the same time he nodded, the calm female voice that Lin Sanjiu had heard many times echoed in the mirror dimension, "Congratulations to Player Number 57 for obtaining the Grand Prize Package. This game is over. Please return to the mirror maze at the edge and teleport out. Welcome to the Starry Carnival Amusement Park next time."
This was the announcement for obtaining the Grand Prize Package. Lin Sanjiu didn't expect it to be so dull.
Even after the announcement ended, there were no changes in the mirror maze. Lin Sanjiu thought that there would at least be some kind of abnormality like the building shaking.
"Then, what's next?" Lin Sanjiu was a little confused, "What happens after I get out?"
"I'll go with you," Ji Shanqing said with a face full of misfortune. "I'm already your grand prize, so I have to follow you wherever you go … That is, if you don't take me apart."
Lin Sanjiu finally felt relieved. She heaved a long sigh of relief and slid down from Ji Shanqing's back. She lay motionless on the ground for a long time.
Ji Shanqing waited expectantly for a while, hoping that Lin Sanjiu would succumb to her injuries. However, to his disappointment, Lin Sanjiu sat up with difficulty and smeared some oily substance on her body.
Lin Sanjiu put away the [Bone Replenishing Ointment] and used her remaining Stamina Points to exchange for the [Anther Way Mermaid Cultivation Fluid]. She threw a box of pink mineral water on the ground and instructed Ji Shanqing, "Feed him a bottle of water every few minutes … Let's see what happens after ten bottles."
Seeing that Ji Shanqing was reluctant to do so, she added, "If you don't feed him water, I will take you apart."
In the end, the grand prize still picked up a bottle of mineral water.
Lin Sanjiu's injuries were too severe. She was out of breath after doing such a simple task. She lay on the ground to catch her breath before she could speak.
"Let me ask you something. You said that all the posthumans in the mirror maze are here … But why don't I see my friends? The man in the black leather coat with a cat and a human … Where did they go? "
Looking at Ji Shanqing's back, Lin Sanjiu was really afraid that he would turn around and give her a vengeful smile, telling her that Puppeteer and the others were all dead.
However, Ji Shanqing did not even turn his head. He replied nonchalantly, "Oh, that. He is still in the finishing line. He just isn't in this finishing line."
"What do you mean?"
"Don't you know something about it?" Ji Shanqing turned to look at her. "The pocket dimension of Starry Carnival Amusement Park does not only exist in Red Nautilus. It is a pocket dimension that exists in multiple apocalyptic worlds. Since time passes faster in the pocket dimension than in the outside world, when someone reaches the transfer date, he or she will be directly transferred to the Starry Carnival Amusement Park in another world. "
Lin Sanjiu's eyes widened. The image of the horse-faced man appeared in her mind. "Why would a man from the Dark Forest appear in the pocket dimension of Red Nautilus?" She did not expect the answer to be so simple. She stood rooted to the ground for a few seconds before she figured out the rest of the explanation.
Since Puppeteer had altered part of the cat doctor and AYU's body, they could be considered as his puppets. Hence, when Puppeteer was transferred away, the cat doctor and AYU's Soul were also transferred away involuntarily.
Lin Sanjiu covered her face with her hands. All she wanted to do was scream.
