The rules of the game: Hide a total of five colored balls in the entire residential area. Within three minutes, the party that finds the most colored balls wins.
The rules sounded simple, but there were a total of nine buildings in this residential area. There were at least thousands of apartments in total.
Without knowing what the hint was, if Lin Sanjiu went from apartment to apartment, she might not be able to find a single colored ball even after three days and three nights, let alone three minutes.
When Fatty thought of this, the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably.
The ability that appeared on the TV screen was a little strange. However, since it was his ability, it would only work for him. It would not give his opponent any advantage. That woman had foolishly fallen into his ability. She even dared to talk big to him...
She would know what would happen when she lost the game.
Fatty had played this game countless times. He knew how to read the hints on the colored balls like the back of his hand. On the other hand, that woman probably didn't even know what the hint was or where it was.
The host was like another consciousness of Fatty. The conditions he set out would vary according to the situation. Since his opponent seemed to be quite strong, he asked the host to add a condition that "Lin Sanjiu can't get close to him or attack him". With these conditions, Fatty had the advantage of being able to...
Fatty raised his eyelids and scanned the area.
Unexpectedly, after the tall woman said those harsh words, she did not rush to find the ball. Instead, she walked to the side of her unconscious companion and moved the guy whose gender could not be determined to the grass.
"What a fool!"
With a mischievous chuckle, his huge fat body immediately turned around and dashed towards the space between two residential buildings in the distance with incredible agility.
His footsteps were very light, but Lin Sanjiu still raised her head to look at him.
She settled Ji Shanqing down without a change in expression, then straightened her back.
"Aren't you going to look for the balls?" Ren Nan, who was standing not far away, said as he wiped his saliva. As the knife was sticking out of his mouth, he could only keep his mouth open and let his saliva flow freely. "Oh, that fatty seems to have found something from the trash can."
Lin Sanjiu knew very well that this was an illusion. She didn't know why, even though she had regained her consciousness. His schizophrenia symptoms had not completely disappeared.
Although it was an illusion, "Ren Nan" wasn't wrong. As soon as he finished speaking, the excited female host on the television screen immediately shouted, "Congratulations, Mr. Fatty! In the first 20 seconds of the game. You've already found a ball. That's amazing … "
"Cut the crap," Lin Sanjiu scolded her illusion impatiently. She looked around and asked, "Where's Xueqin?"
"I'm here." A figure suddenly stood up from the bushes. It was Xueqin, who always had a cold expression. She walked out of the meadow and said softly, "... I was pregnant once when I was in that husband's house. Even though he killed the baby, I used to sing this song to my stomach during those months. "
… Is this real, or is it an illusion?
Lin Sanjiu tilted her head in a daze. She could hear a soft nursery rhyme in the night with the help of the empty air beside her.
"Mary has a littlelamb, littlelamb …"
The song was vague and light. Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell where it was coming from or who was singing. It was like a warm air current that kept reverberating in the air. When Xueqin walked to Lin Sanjiu's side, she said calmly, "I heard this nursery rhyme when the game started."
"Nursery rhyme …?"
"So, this is the hint from the colored ball." A voice that seemed to always be smiling rang out from behind Lin Sanjiu. She didn't need to turn her head to know that it was Li Zhijun, who she hadn't seen for a long time, "Think carefully, little Jiu, what is related to this nursery rhyme?"
Lin Sanjiu paused for a moment. Then, she suddenly let out a sigh and rushed toward the residential building opposite her.
Of course, the nursery rhyme was related to children!
However, in this world of "Meat Elysium", children's meat was tender. They were definitely the first batch to be eaten. Lin Sanjiu had been to so many houses, but she hadn't seen a single child.
Among the remaining people, there was something related to children …
The first person Lin Sanjiu thought of was "Xuan Xuan", who called the duoluozhong "mommy" over and over again.
She kicked down both the doors and rushed into the house as "Xuan Xuan" screamed. The balding, cumbersome forty-year-old man was curled up on the bed with a face full of tears and mucus. He watched in horror as Lin Sanjiu rummaged through the drawers and cabinets. He took out a ball from his "toy box".
"Tsk, tsk. I didn't expect that our guest from the Red Team would also find a colored ball … Mr. Fatty, please continue to work hard!" the annoying voice of the emcee came from outside the window.
This colored ball was different from the red ball she found for demonstration purposes. This colored ball was made of plastic and had colorful patterns and cartoon animals drawn on it. It really looked like a toy for children. From the looks of it, every ball was different. If she didn't look for it according to the hint, she might not even know what her target looked like.
"I'm sorry, Xuan Xuan. I need to borrow this," Lin Sanjiu said softly to the man on the bed. Then, she leaped out of the window.
When Lin Sanjiu landed on the ground with a thud, the person downstairs who seemed to have been waiting for her for a long time immediately approached her. The moment he approached her, Lin Sanjiu looked around and couldn't find Xuan Qin's illusion anymore.
After Lin Sanjiu found the ball, the nursery rhyme in the night sky disappeared. Gusts of night wind suddenly appeared out of nowhere and blew away everything in the world.
"The previous hint is gone. There's a new one," Gong Daoyi said. As Gong Daoyi spoke, the hair on his forehead slid down. "This time's hint is really enviable."
"Enviable?"
Lin Sanjiu was a little puzzled, but when she followed his gaze, she immediately understood.
Among the countless abandoned cars, there was one with a broken window and an open door. When the wind blew, many pink banknotes flew out of the car and scattered all over the ground. Lin Sanjiu wondered how much cash the owner of the car had hidden. There was no end to the banknotes. For a moment, half of the sky turned pink.
"So, the hint this time is money?"
"I don't really like money." The smuggler, Gong Daoyi, tucked his hair behind his head, "That's why I had to think of a way. I can bypass the money and get what I want. "
Lin Sanjiu had no way of knowing if what these people said was just their imagination or if it was true. She suppressed the thoughts that rose in her mind. Lin Sanjiu suppressed her thoughts as she muttered the word "money" in her heart. She circled around the residential area and searched quickly.
To be honest, she didn't know what she was looking for. However, when the female host shouted again, "Mr. Fatty found the second ball! That's great! "Then, the pressure she felt multiplied. She started to feel a little anxious.
[Money. Every household must have some money left behind from the apocalypse. But, what does that have to do with colored balls?]
"Stop, stop, stop. Stop running," a crisp voice suddenly pulled her back, "It's here! Look! "
Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. She quickly glanced at the girl with the pink wig. The girl's expression was as lively and lively as she remembered. The gloominess she had from the Slaves Training Camp was nowhere to be seen. "Oh, it's the Double-toned Ball!"
Lin Sanjiu looked up and saw a lottery window at the corner of the residential building. Under the words "Sports Lottery" and "Welfare Lottery", the shop owner had a unique design of a red and a blue two-toned ball. However, perhaps because of the Doomsday Corrosion, the red ball was already tattered beyond recognition. All that was left was a dirty and empty shell. Only the blue ball was still hanging on the window.
"So, it's just my imagination," Lin Sanjiu thought as she rushed to the lottery window. The real Rena had probably never seen the Double-toned Ball before...
"Damn it!"
Just as Lin Sanjiu reached the lottery window and closed her fingers on the blue ball, she heard Fatty's panting curse behind her. Lin Sanjiu turned around and saw Fatty staring at her with a gloomy and puzzled expression. Fatty immediately turned around and ran away. Apparently, he was looking for the last clue.
"I didn't expect the game to end in a 2-2 draw. This was truly a huge surprise to everyone! The last clue is the most difficult one. I wonder who will get the last ball. Oh, God bless Mr. Fatty … "
Lin Sanjiu dashed past the chattering TV. She seemed to be very certain of her destination. She leaped into the parterre and the grassy field and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Ever since Lin Sanjiu held the blue ball in her palm, the money in the car had been blown away. Finally, all the money in the car was blown away. There were no more banknotes floating in the air. As expected, the colored ball's hint was given according to where it was located.
"If that's the case..."
When Lin Sanjiu returned from the flowerbed with no results, she quickly disappeared into another residential building. The last clue was difficult because it was hard to detect. The residential area looked quiet at night and there was nothing out of the ordinary. Even Fatty, who was already used to finding hints, was a little confused.
"Why is the red team's guest running around like a headless fly?" The female host seemed determined to boost Fatty's popularity. She laughed and said on the TV, "Without a clue, the few balls that you found don't count..."
Even though Fatty was surprised that the woman found two balls in one go, it seemed that the woman had run out of ideas.
The corners of his mouth curled up silently, and his gaze swept across the neighborhood again. His fat neck was like layers of butter that had been cut off and stacked back together. When he turned, it was strangely smooth.
"I got it!"
Fatty's eyes lit up and he let out a low laugh. Then, he moved his two fat legs and pounced forward.
The last clue wasn't that difficult. It was just that it was easy to miss it at first glance...
After all, it was his ability, so he had to take care of himself.
As the thought flashed through Fatty's mind, he had already rushed to the location of the notification without any delay.
"Hahaha, stupid woman," he scolded happily. He bent down and started searching through the flowerbed. When his eyes lit up and he picked up a ball from the ground, he couldn't help saying in a shrill voice, "She couldn't find it even after searching for a whole round!"
"How could she not find it?" Before he could rejoice for half a second, a clear female voice rang out. "After all, I was the one who put it there."
Fatty was stunned. He held the ball with colored stripes and animal heads on it, and turned his head around in a daze.
"You found the second ball out of the five." As she couldn't get close to him, Lin Sanjiu sat a few steps away with her arms crossed. "I knew it."
"You … What's the point of you luring me here?" Fatty forced himself to calm down and sneered, "Have you forgotten? You can't attack me! "
"You're right, I can't. But … you might not understand, "Lin Sanjiu smiled at him and tugged at her red t-shirt. "It's just that the clothes you gave us really saved my friend's life."
Fatty blinked his eyes. He didn't understand anything.
However, he didn't need to understand.
In the next second, a sharp, silver tip poked out of his chest. The [Vibroblade] pierced through Fatty's large body without any resistance. It squeezed out the fat and blood from the layers of fat on his chest as if it was butter.
"Look, both of us are wearing this red t-shirt, but you think my friend is no different from a dead person. That's why you only target me with all your restrictions," Lin Sanjiu smiled at him tenderly. Lin Sanjiu smiled at him tenderly. Her red t-shirt faded like a bubble as the screen on the TV in the distance moved, revealing her tight black singlet underneath. "He's not too happy about this."
On the other side of the [Vibroblade], Ji Shanqing, who was holding the blade tightly, slowly revealed the shape of Lin Sanjiu's smock. Even though it wasn't his first time killing someone, the feeling of stabbing a person with his own hands still made him feel a little uncomfortable. He took a deep breath and pulled the blade out. He leaped to the side, and Fatty's body fell to the ground like a small hill.
The TV screen in the distance disappeared completely.
"How are you?"
When Lin Sanjiu walked forward, both she and Ji Shanqing asked the same question at the same time.
Both of them were stunned for a moment before they laughed at the same time. Ji Shanqing tugged at his shirt and said with lingering fear, "Sis, thank goodness you woke up. Fortunately, wearing clothes worked. After I killed him, his ability should have fused with my [Economic Bubble]. The ability produced should be stronger than before … It shouldn't be so dangerous next time. "
Lin Sanjiu nodded and looked at the illusions standing not far away.
"Now, let me see what's going on in this world." (To be continued.)
