"In other words, if I don't have a flower and my right hand accidentally touches a person with an indigo flower, I will be killed too, right?"
"Yes."
"Is it okay if you touch your left hand?"
"No problem."
"Can I put the flower into my storage device?"
"You can, but it will be ineffective. If someone touches you, you won't have any protection. You can't kill them even if you touch them."
Number 46 pondered for a while when he heard that answer. No one knew what he was thinking.
In just a few minutes, he had recovered from the shock of the consular officer's death. He regained his composure. After he got his answer, he looked around him and asked, "Is there anything else you want to ask? It would be best if you can find a loophole in the rules. "
The people around him frowned. No one spoke for a moment.
Regardless of what happened before, the four of them were now in the same boat.
Even Number 45, who was a duoluozhong, hid in the gaps between a few giant green leaves. She didn't know where the first four groups were hiding. Fortunately, she didn't have to raise her voice when she asked Harry. She just needed to call him "Harry" before she asked. That way, she didn't have to worry about being discovered.
"Alright, since no one has anything else to ask," Number 46 looked around and paused his gaze on Lin Sanjiu, "I will say a few words."
"In these ten days, we have to work together. I think we all have a common understanding on this. No matter what you think, we are all members of the same group in the greenhouse. We share the same interests," Number 46 said solemnly. Number 46 said solemnly, "I noticed something noteworthy during the questioning just now."
"What is it?"
"Since physical attacks are ineffective, it means that if you find someone with an indigo flower trying to kill you, you just have to do this —" Number 46 said as he put his right hand into his pocket. "Perhaps they will try to pull your arm, but if they use too much strength, it will be judged as a physical attack. If they don't use too much strength, they will be judged as a physical attack. He couldn't pull it out. If they don't touch your right hand, we will be fine. "
"However, this also shows that it is a little difficult to kill other groups … That's why those people came to shake our branches and put on an act." At this point, Number 46's expression darkened. "I hope everyone can split up to look for the indigo flowers. Find as many as you can and come back in the morning. Don't worry, even if you're alone, as long as you pay attention to your right hand, there won't be any danger. During this process. He also had to pay attention to gathering information about the other teams, such as how many people there were, where they met, and so on. As for Number 47, your stamina is the weakest right now, so you can rest here first. We can set off after you've recovered … Is there any problem? "
Since no one had any objections, Number 46 was the first to stand up.
"Alright, everyone, remember the assembly time. Let's go."
Compared to the size of the greenhouse, even if he had the whole night to look for flowers, it would be impossible. It seemed like it was just a drop in the bucket.
Lin Sanjiu's movements were already very fast and light. However, after climbing up the leafy branches for a full four hours, she did not even see a single member of the other group, let alone an indigo flower.
Lin Sanjiu frowned as she looked at the sparse greenery above the greenhouse.
Perhaps, her intuition was working again. Even though she did not have any concrete evidence, she had a feeling that she was looking in the wrong direction. No, it should be said that there was something wrong with the act of "searching".
Her movements were not slow at all. In the past four hours, she had covered a distance of at least half the size of a city. It didn't make sense that she did not see a single person or hear a single sound after covering such a large area.
It didn't make sense that she did not see a single person or hear a single sound after covering such a large area.
Since the last group to arrive knew that they had to split up to look for flowers, it didn't make sense that the members of the other groups would sit still. However, if they were also looking for indigo flowers, why didn't Lin Sanjiu see anyone?
"Could it be that they just happened to bypass me …"
Lin Sanjiu grumbled. She turned around and headed in the direction of the "other shoe".
The interior of the greenhouse was divided into two "shoe-shaped" sections. There was a bridge filled with soil connecting the two sections. The height of the bridge was just above the shoestring door. However, no matter how hard Lin Sanjiu looked down, she couldn't see where the floor of the greenhouse was. The deeper she went, the deeper she went. The deeper she went, the dimmer the light from the ceiling of the greenhouse became. It looked like a bottomless abyss.
Harry did not tell her what would happen if she fell from the bridge, so of course, Lin Sanjiu didn't want to test it out. She stood behind a sprout and waited cautiously for more than ten minutes. When she was sure that there was no one around, she walked toward the bridge cautiously.
She was afraid that someone might have tampered with the bridge, so before she took a step, she would test the bridge with the tip of her foot. However, she soon reached the end of the short bridge and nothing happened.
Lin Sanjiu walked around the greenhouse. Her gaze swept across the layers of greenery around her.
In the silence, she could only hear her own shallow and slow breathing. She waited for a while, but the greenhouse was so quiet that she could not even hear the sound of wind. It was so quiet that she wondered if the maturation period had ended and she was the last person left in the greenhouse.
Stepping on the edge of a large flowerpot, Lin Sanjiu stealthily circled around a seedling that seemed to have just sprouted not too long ago. The moment she reached the back of the seedling, she looked up and was stunned by what she saw.
She didn't expect that after searching for so long, she didn't even see a single purple flower. But now, she found two of them.
Lin Sanjiu didn't know much about plants, so she wasn't sure if these were the "Twin Flowers" that she often heard about. Their multi-layered petals seemed to be dyed purple, and they were stacked on top of each other. It was supposed to be a beautiful sight, but it was enough to make a person with trypophobia act up.
Among the dense petals, there were two stamens that looked like beetles' antennae. They glowed a glossy purple under the light of the greenhouse. This was the first time Lin Sanjiu had seen something like this. It was beautiful and disgusting at the same time.
"Is this … a trap?"
Lin Sanjiu mumbled to herself. She did not move forward. Instead, she took two steps back.
Even though this place was quite secluded, and the indigo flowers might be the fish that slipped through the net, she had to be extra careful after what happened to Number 48.
When she was about 50 meters away from the two indigo flowers, Lin Sanjiu circled them from top to bottom. She had destroyed many places, so she did not care about the greenhouse in this pocket dimension. Therefore, she swung her [Vibroblade] without hesitation whenever there was a place that could block her line of sight or a place that could hide her. Countless small pieces of leaves and twigs fell to the ground. Soon, she cleared out an empty space around the purple flower — from afar. From afar, it was as if there was a bald spot in the middle of the dense green.
Lin Sanjiu waited until there was no place for them to hide, but she still did not find any traces of living people.
She felt a little relieved and walked closer to the indigo flowers.
Forty meters, thirty meters, twenty meters … Lin Sanjiu walked over without causing any trouble. She even suspected that she was being overly sensitive.
He walked all the way to the indigo flower, but nothing happened. Lin Sanjiu let out a sigh of relief. She crouched down and examined the two flowers.
Compared to the other plants in the greenhouse, the indigo flowers were unreasonably small. Therefore, unlike other towering plants, they did not need to grow from the bottom of the greenhouse or from a flowerpot. Just the occasional patch of mud on the leaves was enough for the indigo flowers to sprout. A new twig sprouted from one of the twigs. Finally, two flowers sprouted from the twigs.
After Lin Sanjiu examined the flowers one last time, she finally extended her hand toward the indigo flowers.
When her fair fingers under her sleeve touched the twigs of the indigo flowers, her expression changed abruptly. Lin Sanjiu wanted to jump up, but she couldn't retract her right hand no matter how hard she tried.
Her shock was no small matter. Subconsciously, she shouted, "Who is it?"
"It's me! Oh my god, you're really careful … You've finally found it. I almost died of anxiety. "
Even though there was no one around, Lin Sanjiu still heard a reply. Then, the nearest indigo flower swayed a little.
Lin Sanjiu stared fixedly at the flower in front of her. Her lips moved a little before she uttered in a low voice, "Have you heard of route 300?"
Then, like an ink painting that had been opened, the color of the flower that swayed a little gradually faded and its shape blurred. Bit by bit, the outline of a person's head was revealed, followed by a neck, a shoulder … and a hand that was holding Lin Sanjiu's right hand tightly.
Behind this person, who had just revealed his true form, was an indigo flower — a real indigo flower.
"I'm sorry, big sister. I don't have any grudges against you, "the person who spoke had a round, plump face and shiny bald head. He held Lin Sanjiu's hand tightly and refused to let go," I have no choice. Don't blame me if you go to the other world. "
Lin Sanjiu let him hold her right hand. She squatted down again.
"So, this is a Special Item?"
"Ah, yes, this thing of mine is pretty good," the round-faced baldy only noticed that his disguise had disappeared when he heard Lin Sanjiu's question. He quickly moved his body as if he was trying to feel something. Then, he raised his head and looked at Lin Sanjiu calmly, "Big sister, I didn't expect you to disable my Special Item. It can't be permanent, right?"
"No, it's only for an hour," Lin Sanjiu replied warmly.
"Oh," the baldy blinked twice at her. Both of them fell into silence.
After a few seconds, the baldy blinked a few more times as if he didn't know what was going on and felt a little awkward, "Hey, why are you still here?"
"I don't know."
"Oh." The baldy was stumped again. He waited anxiously for a while, and the awkwardness became even more apparent. He quickly smiled, "Big sister, you are quite good-looking. It's just that your skin is a little dark … It's a pity."
"Big brother, you are quite fair."
"Ahem, ahem, my mom is fair …" the baldy replied. The beads of sweat on his forehead shone brightly, "Well, it took me a long time. Sorry about that."
"Don't mention it. I should be the one apologizing," Lin Sanjiu smiled understandingly.
Before the baldy could figure out what Lin Sanjiu meant, he felt something scratching his back. When he looked up, he realized that Lin Sanjiu's left hand had taken away the indigo flower on his back in the blink of an eye. Startled, the baldy wanted to jump up, but his left hand, which was holding Lin Sanjiu's hand, was gripped tightly. At the same time, something fell out of Lin Sanjiu's sleeve.
"This, this …" The baldy's eyes widened. He looked at the ground and then at Lin Sanjiu. There was an innocent expression on his face, "Why do you carry this with you?"
While he was shocked, he didn't stop himself from shoving his right hand into his pocket.
Lin Sanjiu purposely pulled a long face and sneered.
"Nonsense." Her fingers clasped tightly onto his arm through her sleeves, not giving him the slightest chance to escape. "Since I suspect that this is a trap and there's no one around, the most suspicious thing is the flowers. Can I touch it with my right hand? "
"You are so young, but you are already so suspicious. Will you have a happy marriage in the future?"
"Marriage my * ss," the veins on Lin Sanjiu's forehead throbbed, "I won't kill you. I will let you go as long as you answer my questions."
The baldy blinked his eyes as fast as a hummingbird's wings. It seemed to be a habit of his when he was thinking. "Ah, good, good. I didn't expect you to be such a kind person. But, big brother, can I ask you something first? "
"This guy doesn't play by the rules. I don't know what he is up to." Lin Sanjiu immediately raised her guard and shot a glance at him.
"Ahem, look at yourself. You are acting as if I have an army waiting for your command," the baldy laughed dryly, "I just want to ask you, where did you get that hand on the ground? My goodness, it's even more useful than my chameleon."
"Is the chameleon his Special Item?"
When Lin Sanjiu thought of this, she lowered her eyes and glanced at the fair, fleshy right hand on the ground. She had cut it off with her [Vibroblade] just now. It was smooth and flat, just like a mannequin's artificial hand. She curled her lips and smiled at the baldy.
"The moment I came to this world, I collected the corpse of a predator called Zhang Da. To tell you the truth, I've collected a lot of corpses, but I've never found one as useful as his. "(To be continued.)
PS:
I don't want to admit that I have watched "Happy Comedy" before. I also don't want to admit that the voice of the baldy in my head is Da Pan's Northeastern accent. However, I want to ask in the comments section, is there anyone with a Sichuan accent? This is definitely not someone who wants to write a Sichuan accent again. I don't want to admit it.
