"Hen … hen?"
The yellow-faced man spat out a few words from his dark brown lips. It was as if he couldn't believe what he just saw.
"So, there is more than one of these animals," he said as he got up from the ground. His dull eyes lit up slightly. He glanced at the black-haired woman who had just crawled away from him. Then, he shifted his gaze away and looked at Lin Sanjiu. "Good, good. You look much fatter now … You should be more delicious than these lunatics."
Lin Sanjiu lowered her beak and narrowed her eyes.
Qing Jiuliu and Ji Shanqing, who were familiar with her, quickly took a few steps back.
Just as Lin Sanjiu's body tensed up and she was ready to launch her attack, the bat-like man made his move first. Lin Sanjiu snorted coldly and flapped her wings to meet him. However, she didn't expect that the man was just making a feint. His body swerved in another direction and she missed her target.
Lin Sanjiu quickly twisted her body. She was only a split second behind the man. When she regained her footing, she saw the blood spurting out from the black-haired woman's neck. The man squinted his eyes when he saw the blood splatter on his face. His face was stained red and slid down his cheeks.
"You should eat something first so that you have the energy to fight." The man raised his head and looked at the hen. He chewed on the piece of flesh that he had just torn off and said with a muffled smile, "After all, I have been locked up by that woman for too long."
Lin Sanjiu was surprised by the amount of blood spurting out from the woman's neck. She twitched a few times like a fish out of water. After the man pushed her away, she fell into a pool of her own blood.
What he did just now was all to divert her attention.
Lin Sanjiu felt an inexplicable fire burning in her heart. When she charged forward again, her Higher Consciousness surged forward like a tidal wave. This time, she had to use her Higher Consciousness to pin down the Predator.
Even though Lin Sanjiu had transformed into a hen, it wasn't difficult for her to subdue the Predator. When she used her maximum speed, the Predator's movements seemed to slow down. When he stood up from the pool of blood, he raised his leg, and the look of surprise on his face was like a movie that had been slowed down by two times.
In the next second, the distance between Lin Sanjiu and him returned to how it was in the beginning.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help being stunned. She looked around.
She was still standing at her original position. The distance that she had crossed with a single step was still right in front of her eyes. It didn't shorten at all. She didn't even use her Higher Consciousness to rush out.
"Mobius Ring!"
A shout came from the blue cloth sofa not far away. "… This guy must have taken advantage of that moment to place a small Mobius Ring in the space around you!"
"So, you did it," the hen stared at the Predator.
"You scared me, I thought you didn't succeed," the yellow-faced man chuckled and wiped his face. Half of his face was smeared with blood. "You don't say. I'm pretty lucky," he said casually as he walked past Lin Sanjiu.
As he spoke, he walked past Lin Sanjiu calmly. The hen was so angry that her feathers were bristling. She charged at him a few times, but each time, she was thrown back to the starting point. He walked past Lin Sanjiu carefully and said with a smile, "Perhaps it was because I hadn't eaten for a long time. When I woke up, most of the people who were trapped with me had run away. After I ate a few mouthfuls of the carrion and regained my consciousness, I looked around and saw that there was no one around. Who should I eat next? So, I quickly released a Mobius Ring … I didn't expect that it would trap you bunch of buffoons. "
After he said that, he smacked his lips and turned his head.
Qing Jiuliu had already sensed that something was wrong when he heard the yellow-faced man's words. He had been retreating silently. Now that the yellow-faced man had stopped talking, he raised his head and met the yellow-faced man's eyes. His heart skipped a beat. He turned around and dashed toward the entrance.
The moment the yellow-faced man moved, his body swooped toward Qing Jiuliu like a bat. Even though Lin Sanjiu's Higher Consciousness surged forward, she still couldn't break through the Mobius ring. She could only watch as the yellow-faced man grabbed the red panda by the back of his neck and lifted the struggling Qing Jiuliu into the air.
"Let him go," the hen took a few steps forward and stopped before she was sent back to her original position. "Qing Jiuliu, your mermaid —"
"I left it on the bed," the red panda replied bitterly. Even his own legs were a burden to him.
"Let him go," Lin Sanjiu didn't have the time to teach him a lesson. She turned to the Jaeger and opened her beak, "… I'm not talking nonsense. This is your last chance to deactivate your ability and get the hell out of here."
The Jaeger rolled his yellow eyes. He didn't say anything. Suddenly, he lowered his head and opened his mouth to bite the red panda's stomach.
"Ji Shanqing!"
Lin Sanjiu shouted angrily. She forced herself to control the urge to charge forward. At the same time, the red panda shrunk his body and stepped on the man's yellow face with his hind legs. His body swung backward. When the Jaeger closed his mouth, he only managed to bite a few tufts of fur on the red panda's stomach.
Before Qing Jiuliu's body swung back to the ground, Lin Sanjiu heard Ji Shanqing mumbling something as he moved into the room. Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to look away. She couldn't feel the heat from the activation of the [Pygmalion Choker] on her neck. She couldn't help but feel anxious. "Louder! I can't activate it if I can't hear you! "
The red panda was right in front of the Jaeger's mouth again. The Jaeger didn't bite down on him. He looked around suspiciously.
Ji Shanqing didn't know what to say. He had to come up with an ability that could allow Lin Sanjiu to unleash her ability while ignoring the possible interference of the Mobius Ring. He also had to make sure that the Jaeger didn't know what to do while everyone could hear what he said. Even though he was usually quick-witted, he still couldn't come up with a solution.
"The f * cking answer is —"
Seeing that the Jaeger had turned his head away again, Qing Jiuliu became anxious. However, before he could finish his sentence, the Jaeger tightened his grip on his throat again. He couldn't even breathe.
Since Ji Shanqing was in the hands of the yellow-faced man, the chances of him activating the [Pygmalion Choker] were slim. That was why Ji Shanqing took the risk and used those precious words to remind Ji Shanqing. However, Ji Shanqing, who was in the eye of the storm, couldn't say a single word under the pressure of so many things.
Lin Sanjiu's beady eyes were filled with confusion and anxiety. Her gaze kept shifting between the red panda and the sofa. If she didn't look like a hen, she would have sweated profusely.
The Predator chuckled when he heard the red panda gurgling in its throat. Every word that came out of its mouth was accompanied by a foul stench. "I thought you guys had a plan … Well, don't hold back. Just watch me eat."
The blue floral print on the sofa trembled and suddenly shouted, "Sister! Mermaid! You have the ability of a mermaid! "
'The answer is right there!' Even if a person was in the Mobius Ring, their voice could still be heard. Besides, it was hard for the Jaeger to guess the content of the mermaid's ability just by listening to it.
Lin Sanjiu felt invigorated. Almost at the same time, she felt the choker on her neck heating up.
'Qing Jiuliu's mermaid uses its song to confuse people,' she thought. Without wasting any time, she opened her beak.
In a sense, the song coming from Lin Sanjiu's mouth was much more lethal than the mermaid's.
The Jaeger's mouth froze the moment it sank into the red panda's fur.
Even though Qing Jiuliu was choked, his hearing was not affected. Besides, as a sofa, Ji Shanqing didn't have the ability to "cover his ears". Lin Sanjiu's song — if it could be called a song — quickly filled the room and filled everyone's eardrums.
The Jaeger's body trembled slightly. A few beads of sweat rolled down his face. After listening for a few seconds, he loosened his grip and the red panda fell to the ground with a thud.
The expressions of the three listeners were a little indescribable.
The Jaeger's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He stared at his hands as if he was trying his best to raise his hands and cover his ears. However, as long as Lin Sanjiu's song continued, he couldn't raise his hands as if they weighed a thousand pounds. All his efforts turned into violent trembling and cold sweat that quickly soaked his clothes. It was as if he was fighting against something in his body.
As for the red panda, he opened his mouth and gave up resisting. He rolled his eyes and fainted. Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell what had happened to the blue sofa from the outside. She just followed the unconscious Qing Jiuliu and fell into a long silence.
Lin Sanjiu was afraid that her voice wasn't as good as the mermaid's. Since her voice wasn't as good as the mermaid's, she decided to make up for it with quantity. She sang for five minutes non-stop until the duration of her [Pygmalion Choker] ran out. Then, she stopped reluctantly and cautiously took a step outside.
Even though the Jaeger was still standing, Lin Sanjiu was able to smoothly step out of the Mobius Ring.
When she walked to the yellow-faced man's side, his legs suddenly seemed like they were about to collapse. With a "thump" sound, he sat on the ground. His pair of eyes were still grey and lifeless.
When Lin Sanjiu took a closer look, she realized that the Jaeger's face was covered in tears and snot. His face was stained with half-dried blood, forming a dirty stream. Lin Sanjiu looked at him with disgust and scratched the red panda with her paw.
"Wake up," Lin Sanjiu was afraid that she would wake the Jaeger up, so she kept her voice low. Finally, she managed to wake Qing Jiuliu up. When Qing Jiuliu opened his black eyes, Lin Sanjiu said softly, "Go and call the grand prize over … Hurry up, I have to deal with him now."
The red panda got up with a grunt and hurriedly ran to the blue floral sofa without even turning its head.
After all, the effect of the mermaid's song had a time limit. After the song stopped, the effect would naturally fade away. After a few seconds, the Jaeger blinked his eyes and slowly came back to his senses.
The first thing that fell into his eyes was the hotel room's bright and clean ceiling.
He didn't know when he was lying on the floor.
A sharp triangular shadow suddenly appeared from the other side and blocked part of the ceiling.
The Jaeger slowly turned his head, a little confused.
"You're awake?" A familiar voice came from the triangular shadow. "… Just in time."
'What's just in time?'
Before the yellow-faced man could react, he saw the triangular shadow moving backward. A claw-shaped shadow quickly grew bigger and closer in front of him. Finally, it completely covered the ceiling … and finally, everything was black.
Lin Sanjiu lowered her head and looked at the person under her feet. She lifted the claw that was firmly on the yellow-faced man and wiped the blood on the carpet.
"Alright, let's go upstairs," she turned to the other two people beside her and said.
