The moment Nvywa uttered the last word, Lin Sanjiu turned around and fled.
As a form of Higher Consciousness, Lin Sanjiu didn't know how she managed to escape. She didn't dare to relax for even half a second. She stared fixedly at the pitch-black space in front of her and sprinted forward with all her might.
However, it was obvious that in the "Astral Plane", one's movement speed was linked to the strength of one's Higher Consciousness. As the person with the weakest Higher Consciousness in the entire Astral Plane, Lin Sanjiu felt as if she was being chased by someone in a dream. Even though she ran as fast as she could, she couldn't run fast. In the blink of an eye, she felt a soft and gorgeous pink glow behind her.
The worst part was that the glow wasn't the only star that was closing in on her. From the corner of her eyes, Lin Sanjiu noticed that there were stars of different colors above and behind her.
Even if her struggle was futile, she had to grit her teeth and persevere. Lin Sanjiu let out a low growl and sprinted forward as if she didn't know what was happening behind her. However, she stopped abruptly just as she was about to plunge into the arms of the star in front of her.
A ball of pale light appeared in front of her in the blink of an eye. Lin Sanjiu didn't even see where it came from. Her heart sank when she was bathed in the cold, deathly white light.
"This one is not bad. Get lost." A low, cold snort came from the ball of light. "… Come back when I'm done playing with you."
"Seriously, I'm sick of you, you lunatic." A voice that sounded like fingernails scratching on a blackboard came from the cherry blossoming pink light. "Don't you know that we've been tolerating you?"
"Rather than calling him a lunatic, you should call him a pervert. Only a pervert wouldn't care. "
Another calm voice came from behind her. Lin Sanjiu had no idea how many stars were chasing after her just now. She felt her blood rushing to her head. She turned a deaf ear to the conversation around her and stared at her feet. There was also an endless void beneath her feet. Perhaps, she could seize the opportunity to escape.
"She doesn't even have starlight. What are you playing at?" A hoarse and charming voice laughed. When these people talked about Lin Sanjiu, it was as if Lin Sanjiu didn't exist. The female voice said the same thing, "Nvywa brought her here. Don't you have any scruples?"
"Taboo?" The ghastly white light seemed to find her laughable. As it spoke, it moved slightly to the side, facing the direction of the voice and said, "You've surrounded me because you're afraid?"
Now!
Gritting her teeth, Lin Sanjiu plunged into the void below. Her timing was impeccable. Just when everyone let their guard down, she was able to cover quite a distance in a blink of an eye.
Just as she heaved a sigh of relief, the faint white light once again illuminated her vision. With a sneer, Lin Sanjiu turned around abruptly and fled in another direction. However, the moment she moved, she crashed into a wall with a loud bang.
"A wall?"
Lin Sanjiu felt a sharp pain in her nose, and tears were about to fall from her eyes. She raised her head in a daze and realized that she had somehow been trapped inside a house. When she lowered her head again, she saw her familiar hands and body.
Her heartbeat, her blood flow, and all the other sensations returned. She could even feel the low temperature outside the house. The coldness caused goosebumps to rise on her exposed skin. It felt just like her real body.
"Are you trying to make me unhappy today?" The voice from the ghastly white light came from outside the house.
Lin Sanjiu rushed to the window and looked out. She saw the ghastly white star land on the wooden corridor outside the door. The white light quickly transformed into a figure with his back facing her. In front of the figure was an endless starry sky. It looked as if a house had been uprooted and thrown into space. Unfortunately, she was in that house.
"Not only today, but if there is a chance in the future, I will continue to make you unhappy … Because I hate people like you who are sick in the head and body." The hoarse and charming voice laughed. It spoke softly as if it was acting coquettishly, "I am already in the house. Go in if you can."
"I have to agree with this pervert. You are so meddlesome," the cherry blossom star said with dissatisfaction as it glowed outside the house.
"No one is asking for your opinion, old thing."
The cherry blossom star snorted and shut its mouth. The other stars whispered to each other. Seeing that the situation was in a stalemate, they seemed to have given up. Someone said, "Let's go." Then, the other stars lit up one after another and disappeared into the void.
Lin Sanjiu, who had been watching them closely, heaved a sigh of relief. She couldn't figure out how she could survive until now with such speed.
The figure formed by the white light in front of the window gradually solidified, revealing the appearance of a man. The man's scalp was shaved green, and there was a tattoo of a church on the back of his head. He did not turn around, so Lin Sanjiu could only see the back of his checkered shirt.
The church tattoo suddenly moved. As the man raised his head, the tattoo was bent by the skin on the back of his head.
"It is just a house. Even if you have your 'condition' attached to it, how long can it stop me?" His voice was muffled as if part of it was blocked by the wall. The man chuckled darkly, "Look at this wooden floor. Do you really miss the life of an ordinary person? Why don't you come and look for me? I can help you strip away your Potential Growth Value. Oh, don't worry. Once I catch her, you will be next. "
The woman paused for a moment, but she did not reply. Suddenly, she turned to Lin Sanjiu and laughed, "I have given you a good house. Don't let him get in and catch you."
Lin Sanjiu was shocked. She slammed her palm on the window and yelled through the glass, "Are you leaving?" Just as her voice faded away, she froze. She lowered her head and looked at her hand blankly. Then, she looked at the window.
Judging from the force she exerted when she slammed the window, it should have shattered. However, there was only a palm print on the glass. She was like an ordinary person who had not undergone any enhancement before the apocalypse. Even her palm was slightly numb from the recoil.
The hoarse woman's voice had disappeared for a long time, as if she had really left due to his threat.
Through the dirty glass window, Lin Sanjiu saw the man in the wooden corridor slowly turn around.
There was no light above the wooden corridor. The only source of light was the twinkling stars in the distance. Once the house blocked the light, the interior of the building became pitch-black. In the dim light, Lin Sanjiu thought that the man was wearing a mask when she first saw him. It was only when he walked closer to the window and moved his face closer to her through the glass that she almost let out a gasp.
The man seemed to be a Caucasian. His uneven skin was deathly pale. Most of his face had melted and deformed like wax. His eyes were like two thin, long, black slits. They were distorted and sunk asymmetrically into his horrifying, festering face.
"Why? Don't you find my face attractive?" Through the mask that covered the lower half of his face, Lin Sanjiu could hear his muffled voice coming from the other side of the glass. There was a hint of ruthlessness in his voice, "I like the sunken face caused by late-stage syphilis, especially when a woman sees my face."
The word "syphilis" made Lin Sanjiu feel nauseous, but she did not move her gaze away from his face. Her trembling fingers fumbled around the window frame for a few times before she quickly locked the window with a click.
"Oh, you found out? You are quite smart. " The man seemed to want to raise his eyebrows. However, he no longer had any eyebrows. He straightened his back and took a few steps back.
Lin Sanjiu looked to her left and right. Almost at the same time, she and the man looked at the wooden door of the house. Both of them lunged at the wooden door at the same time. The door shook violently. Lin Sanjiu quickly used her body to block the door and held on tightly to the door handle that was turning.
Lin Sanjiu's physical strength was no match for the man outside the door. Even though she had used all her strength, the door handle still turned. Seeing that the door was about to be opened, Lin Sanjiu glanced around and grabbed the door chain. When she was pushed a few steps back by the sudden opening of the door, the chain that she had just hung on the door managed to stop the door from moving.
Lin Sanjiu's method of dealing with posthumans was laughable, but it bought her precious time to catch her breath. The man kicked the door a few times. When he saw that the door was still standing, he stopped.
"Even if we are forcibly restored to normal people before the apocalypse, you are just putting up a last-ditch struggle." As Lin Sanjiu dragged a sofa over, the man leaned his mouth closer to the gap of the door. His voice was clearer than before, "Do you know how I got syphilis?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong force came from the inside. The wooden door was hit by something, and the sound of a lock turning could be heard from behind the door.
Lin Sanjiu was already panting a little after blocking the door with the sofa. She couldn't believe that she was so weak before she evolved. Without making a sound, she turned around and looked around the house.
She couldn't summon the [Ability Polishing Agent]. Everything was swallowed by the darkness. Occasionally, there would be a faint line of light. However, through the faint starlight, she could still see an open kitchen with a dining table on the other side of the living room. In the middle of the living room was a walkway that led to a bedroom and a bathroom. It looked like a detached house that was commonly seen in foreign countries.
"In the Soviet Russia, the more tattoos you have, the higher your status is."
With an involuntary sense of satisfaction, the voice reminisced as it walked towards the window again. Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. She couldn't be bothered to observe her surroundings anymore. She picked up a large vase from the corner of the living room and rushed toward the window. The face that had festered due to syphilis lowered and smiled at her through the stained glass.
"You might think it's strange, but how do you get tattoos in a high-security prison?" He took two steps back and looked like he was ready to strike. "... An electric razor and a needle become a tool. Burnt rubber mixed with urine is used to make dye... Dozens or hundreds of people use a needle, and it takes several years to get a complicated pattern..."
Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. She immediately raised the vase and smashed it down on the black figure who had just entered the room. However, the vase smashed into the windowsill. Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. She raised the vase high and threw it at the black figure who had just entered the room. Unfortunately, the vase shattered into pieces. Lin Sanjiu looked up and realized that the man had smashed the window with his foot and quickly retreated.
Lin Sanjiu felt a gust of cold wind that came from the void outside through the hole in the glass. She gasped for air in the cold. Clutching a broken vase tightly in her hand, she bent down and looked outside. She realized that the man was nowhere to be seen in the wooden corridor.
"I can't let him in no matter what." Lin Sanjiu rushed to the kitchen, but she didn't find a knife. Instead, there was a rack full of red wine. She had no choice but to grab a bottle of wine and run to the back. Since they had been forcefully reverted back to normal, the difference in physical strength between a man and a woman had returned. The only advantage she had now was the house as a barrier.
Lin Sanjiu kicked open a few doors and locked a few windows, but she did not see any sign of the man outside.
"Mrs. Manas, come out quickly …" Lin Sanjiu muttered to herself as she lifted the mattress with all her might. She flipped it over and blocked the window, "Come out quickly … I can't die here. I still have to find my grand prize …"
However, no matter where she was, it was still quiet.
Lin Sanjiu panted and rushed out of the master bedroom. When she turned around, her blood turned cold. There was a glass back door in the house.
"What kind of house is this?!" Lin Sanjiu cursed under her breath and rushed to the back door. Fortunately, the glass door was locked, and there were no signs of forced entry. Lin Sanjiu relaxed a little when she saw the glass door.
Looking out through the glass door, she saw a wooden corridor that was similar to the one in front of her. It seemed to circle around half of the house. Beyond the ordinary and lively building, there was a boundless universe filled with stars.
The starlight from far and near cast a dim glow on the glass. Lin Sanjiu looked outside and froze.
She didn't move. She slowly turned her head.
