The place where Luther fell couldn't be any worse. He fell right in front of the main entrance. When Lin Sanjiu and Marcie arrived, the main entrance was already surrounded by three layers of people, blocking the exit. Some of the people wanted to go out, some wanted to watch the commotion, some shouted for help, some cursed, and some shouted to make way … It was chaos.
Right now, Lin Sanjiu couldn't care less. She grabbed the collar of anyone who dared to stand in her way and threw them aside. Not long after, amidst the complaints, she led Marcie into the middle of the crowd.
Luther was lying on the ground with a pale face. His eyes were shut tight and his body was trembling slightly. His clothes were dusty, and there were a few footprints on his legs. He must have been stepped on by the people behind him when he suddenly fell. Chen Jinfeng had appeared out of nowhere and was squatting beside him. He shouted at the crowd behind him, "Make way! Someone in front has fainted. Don't go any further!"
He was a cadre, so his words carried weight. Some of the people in the crowd recognized him, so they shouted for him to make way for him.
Marcie smiled at him gratefully, "When did Cadre Chen come? Thank you so much. "
Lin Sanjiu nodded at him and put Luther's arm on her shoulder. Seeing that they had helped Luther up, Chen Jinfeng patted the dust off his legs and stood up. He said to the two of them, "It's good that you guys are here. There is a medical room in building 38. You guys can bring him there. Don't worry about dinner, I will get someone to send it over. "
"Thank you, but it's nothing. It's just an old problem!" Lin Sanjiu didn't bother to explain. She quickly added, "We will bring him back to his room to rest."
Chen Jinfeng nodded reservedly and left without saying anything else.
"I didn't expect Cadre Chen to be such a nice person even though he speaks with an accent," Marcie sighed as she supported Luther on the other side of his body and walked back with difficulty.
Lin Sanjiu nodded.
It wasn't an easy task to push through the hungry crowd and walk against the current. Lin Sanjiu got impatient after she was pushed back a few steps by the crowd. She had a ferocious look on her face as she knocked over countless people along the way. She finally returned to Luther's residence after much difficulty.
After laying him flat on the bed, the two women finally had the time to breathe a sigh of relief. While waiting for Luther to regain consciousness, the two of them sat on the ground and chatted.
"My Evolved Ability leveled up this morning," Lin Sanjiu said with a smile, "It seems that the pocket dimension has greatly stimulated our abilities."
Marcie nodded silently and suddenly sighed. "I wonder if mine will level up …"
Marcie's ability had always been the weakest among the three of them. Her fingernails could only be used to draw blood for analysis. They were like glass and would shatter upon touch. Therefore, when she fought, she only used some weapons that were convenient to her, and did not use her own ability at all.
Over the past month or so, Lin Sanjiu had figured out a pattern. Evolving Abilities were like knives. They would not become sharp unless they were sharpened. For example, there were a few natural evolvers in the oasis. Because they lived a comfortable life and did not train, they did not even strengthen their bodies …
"Looks like you have to find more opportunities to train," Lin Sanjiu said thoughtfully. Lin Sanjiu said thoughtfully, "I know two posthumans. Maybe they are willing to let you draw their blood for analysis."
Then, she told Marcie everything that had happened that morning. She started from the walkie-talkie being taken away by someone, to Yu's strange and strict attitude, to the oasis people using pills to increase their abilities. She told Marcie everything.
"I don't know if I'm overthinking, but I feel that I should be more vigilant here," Lin Sanjiu concluded.
"Nonsense," a cold voice suddenly rang out in the room.
Lin Sanjiu's body reacted faster than her mind. The moment she heard that word, her skin seemed to have sensed that something was wrong. All the hairs on her body stood up. Marcie and Lin Sanjiu's expressions froze. Slowly, they turned their heads.
Luther had already woken up. He was supporting himself with one arm on the bed. He raised one of his eyebrows and looked at them with an indifferent expression.
Lin Sanjiu had never seen such an expression on Luther's face before. His facial features, hair, and everything else had not changed. However, with just a change of expression, the aura he exuded was completely different. The youthful and exuberant aura he had in the past was gone. Instead, it was replaced by a cold and unfeeling feeling. If Luther was a talkative teenager in the past, he was now a robot made of steel. He looked like a human, but he did not have a human aura.
Even his voice sounded different from before, "Why are you guys looking at me?"
As he spoke, he looked at his palms and nails with interest.
The atmosphere in the room was very strange. After Luther asked that question, no one answered him for a long time.
In the silence, the sound of Marcie swallowing her saliva was very loud. Then, she screamed as if she had a headache. She grabbed her hair and said to Luther with a pained expression, "So, you are the next one!"
"What? What is going on?" Lin Sanjiu was the one who had no idea what was going on.
Luther sat up from the bed and rested his chin on his hand as if he did not see the confusion on her face. A faint and mocking smile gradually spread across his face like the winter fog.
"The crop cycle has been shortened to 30 days? High temperature resistance? The ability to catalyze evolution with drugs? Do you guys really believe it like the pigs in the oasis? " His tone became soft, but his words were cold and full of malice, "According to Professor Bai, he started his research some time before the new world was created. He succeeded in about three months. Have you guys been scared silly by the duoluozhong? Don't you know what this means? "
Lin Sanjiu stared blankly at the only person she recognized. She did not need to use her sharp intuition to ask, "Who are you?"
This time, before "Luther" could speak, Marcie, who was beside him, spoke in a voice that sounded like a moan, "Xiaojiu, let me introduce you … This is Luther's seventh personality, Septimus."
Lin Sanjiu suddenly felt as if her head was about to explode. She stared at "Luther" in a daze.
Luther, no, Septimus, gave her a smile as if he was giving her charity. "Luther won't be coming out for a while. You better get used to me as soon as possible."
