As the blood rushed to her head, Lin Sanjiu lunged forward and extended her arm to grab Qing Jiuliu, who was the closest to her. In that split second, Qing Jiuliu and the grand prize realized that something was wrong. They jumped up from the bed. However, just as Lin Sanjiu was about to reach Qing Jiuliu's arm, he suddenly grabbed her arm. The moment her skin touched his, she felt her arm turning cold. Her blood had been sucked out of her body.
Lin Sanjiu staggered and almost fell to the ground. She immediately reacted and yelled hoarsely, "It's me!" It was only at this moment that she realized that the situation was the exact opposite for the grand prize and Qing Jiuliu.
The three of them were lying on the bed, but a black shadow suddenly appeared beside the bed. No wonder Qing Jiuliu would suddenly attack her!
Lin Sanjiu felt her blood flow slowing down the moment the grand prize moved his hand away. She endured the dizziness and took out her [Ability Polishing Agent].
"Xiao Jiu?" Qing Jiuliu called out in surprise as the light and shadow flashed.
As the silver light shone down, a few faces that had been dyed even whiter were immediately revealed.
In the blink of an eye, Qing Jiuliu and Ji Shanqing realized the real problem. They escaped from the circle of light next to the bed at the same time. As the light in Lin Sanjiu's hand spun, the large bed was illuminated by the silver light. The place where the person was lying was now empty. There was only a pinkish-white blanket that was rolled into a ball.
"Where is that person?" The grand prize looked around in a panic and immediately realized that something was wrong.
At this moment, the light drew a silver line on their bodies. Before they could land, they were immediately swallowed by the darkness. Lin Sanjiu looked behind each of them, but all she saw was darkness. It was as if the light from the [Ability Polishing Agent] was confined to a small area by something invisible. There was a clear distinction between the darkness and the silver light.
"I didn't expect that the assassin would arrive so soon..."
"Stay close," Lin Sanjiu ordered in a low voice. She spun the light in her hand around and around.
There was something wrong with the light at this time. It seemed that the light could only fall on the selected area. Except for a small part of the light that was dyed white, a deeper darkness floated around and enveloped the bedroom.
Lin Sanjiu felt the backs of the other two people lightly touching her. She was a little sensitive at that moment, so she turned around to look at them. When she confirmed that it was the grand prize and Ji Shanqing who had touched her, she immediately turned her head back.
"Sis," Ji Shanqing suddenly said softly, "Didn't the dead consular officer have a [Truth Candle] with him?"
Lin Sanjiu immediately praised him inwardly. At the moment, she was holding the polishing agent in one hand and the 300 in the other. She also had to be on guard, so she couldn't light the candle. So, she shoved the [Truth Candle] to Qing Jiuliu from behind. The grand prize's words killed two birds with one stone. Not only did he remind her, but he also confused Qing Jiuliu. Next, it would depend on whether the assassin believed the grand prize's words or not …
"If he doesn't believe me, I have to be more careful. Since he killed so many consular officers, he must have looted a terrifying amount of Special Items with strange uses." With that thought in mind, Lin Sanjiu clenched the [Oh no! My wallet is gone] card.
She couldn't use the 300 before her target showed up.
As the match flickered, the flame leaped up from the [Truth Candle] and cast a warm glow on Lin Sanjiu's back. The reddish-orange glow was like the pine oil used to clean an oil painting. It slowly melted the darkness that the silver light couldn't illuminate. Little by little, the room was restored to its original state.
"By the way, does Qing Jiuliu use a match?"
When this irrelevant thought suddenly appeared in Lin Sanjiu's mind, she looked up instinctively and saw Qing Jiuliu standing by the window at the corner of the room. He had one hand on the back of Magus's wheelchair as he stared at her with a dumbfounded expression.
"If he's there, then who's behind me?"
"So this is the function of the candle," an unfamiliar male voice suddenly rang out from behind her, breaking the silence. "Even this [Criminal Suspect Outfit] is …"
The moment the voice reached Lin Sanjiu's ears, she felt goosebumps all over her body. She quickly turned around and slid backward. Between her and her grand prize, there was a black shadow standing under the candlelight, staring unblinkingly at the [Truth Candle] in his hand.
The shadow seemed to be condensed from a thick layer of darkness. Even when she shone the [Ability Polishing Agent] on it, it was still a mass of darkness in the shape of a human. Only the light from the [Truth Candle] could melt the mass of darkness like black paint. It gradually dripped down, revealing the color of flesh.
"Step back!" Lin Sanjiu yelled at her grand prize and pounced on him. At the same time, the figure flicked his wrist and extinguished the candle. The room was once again illuminated by the silver light, creating an unnatural boundary line.
[Criminal Suspect Outfit]
"This person is the culprit, but why can't I see his face? No matter how hard I look, all I can see is a pair of white eyes.
Effect: Once you put on this outfit, you will be covered by the "Shadow Effect" of the criminal suspects in comics and anime. Through the method of distorting the light, he could completely hide his dark figure. If he did not take the initiative to show his head, no one would be able to discover him. Moreover, after wearing this item, if there were people around him, he could naturally blend into the crowd without being noticed, becoming an unnoticeable member.
Note: If the effect of "Truth Insight" appears in the vicinity, this outfit will be exposed. Apart from that, if there are elementary school students around, this outfit will not work.
As soon as the candlelight disappeared, Lin Sanjiu stopped in her tracks. She looked to her left and right and cursed inwardly.
If she couldn't see her target, her [Oh no! Since the wallet is gone, it can't be used at all.
Similarly, if there wasn't a specific target, Qing Jiuliu wouldn't be able to release the mermaid. Otherwise, if the mermaid opened its mouth, Lin Sanjiu would be affected as well.
The grand prize's face was pale. Even though he had already taken the birdcage out, it didn't seem to have any effect. There was a moment of silence in the darkness where the light and shadows were distorted.
"You guys killed the consular officer here," a voice rang out from the darkness. Lin Sanjiu shuddered and tried her best to identify the source of the voice, "Is it the corpse outside?"
The grand prize gulped and looked at Lin Sanjiu. She was the only silver light in the darkness, so he couldn't see her clearly. He turned his head and answered blankly, "Yes, it's him."
"Oh," the voice replied noncommittally.
Silence reigned in the room. The only sound was the wind whistling outside the window. The curtains were fluttering in the air in the limited light.
"You came here to kill the consular officer, right?" Ji Shanqing mustered up his courage and asked, "Now that he's dead, you have no target. If you don't believe me, I can show you his consular officer certificate. "
"I believe you," a calm reply came from the dark shadow.
Before the grand prize could relax, the voice spoke again, "But the corpse has already hardened. The last time a visa appeared in this house was less than ten minutes ago. There's a consular officer among you guys, right? "
Lin Sanjiu's heart raced as soon as the voice finished speaking. She had already unconverted her [Empty-handed Kleptomaniac] into a card. When a few silvery threads flashed in the darkness, a large piece of red velvet appeared in the air. The velvet appeared at the perfect time. It appeared right in front of them. With a gentle curl, it swallowed the silvery threads in an instant.
"What … What is that?"
Lin Sanjiu's near-invincible ability shocked the man in the dark. Every word he uttered was accompanied by a slight gasp. It was as if the attack just now had dealt a heavy blow to him. Lin Sanjiu did not dare to let her guard down. The moment she saw the red velvet disappear, she immediately took out the [Battle Item].
[What should I imitate?]
A few ideas flashed through her mind, but none of the Special Items she could think of were suitable for the situation at hand. This was a battle between Special Items, so she had to —
Suddenly, Lin Sanjiu froze for a moment. An electric current surged through her mind.
She had an idea!
Just as the thought surfaced in her mind, she heard her grand prize call out anxiously, "Sis! Sis!"
His voice was filled with fear.
Instinctively, Lin Sanjiu turned her head around and was shocked. Ji Shanqing's face had turned red, as if he was trying his best to stand still. However, his legs were still dragging him forward into the darkness ahead of him.
"Sis, I can't control my legs," Ji Shanqing grabbed the wall with one hand. As he moved forward, his nails left a few deep scratches on the wallpaper, "I think I'm being attracted by something!"
"You've seen the [All Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix]," the voice chuckled, "If he kills them one by one, he won't let go of the consular officers."
God knows what would happen if the grand prize walked into the darkness. Lin Sanjiu watched as the darkness seemed to have a life of its own and was about to touch her grand prize's face. She roared and changed her [Battle Item] into a small purple cube with the word "Photoshop" written on it — [Pirated Photoshop CS6]. Lin Sanjiu held the [Battle Item] in her hand and immediately activated the "Eraser" function.
For many abilities and items, once they couldn't find their target, they would be useless. Therefore, it was better to make the target show up on his own!
Lin Sanjiu leaped into the air and extended her arm. The "Eraser" erased a large part of the darkness in the air. It was as if someone had painted a thick layer of black paint on a piece of glass. Once the black paint was erased, the color underneath was revealed. It looked as if even a part of the darkness had been eaten away.
This Special Item from Puppeteer couldn't erase a living opponent. In other words, the only humanoid figure left was the assassin who had been hiding all this while.
The effect of the [All Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix] paused. Obviously, the black figure had realized that something was amiss. In this clean and bright environment, the appearance of the black figure jumping up in a hurry was a little ridiculous. Just when Lin Sanjiu sneered and was about to call out "Route 300", Qing Jiuliu suddenly let out a low cry of surprise. Then, he abruptly opened the window.
Lin Sanjiu did not stop moving. From the corner of her eye, she realized that the paper crane had returned. The night wind blew into the room and brought the paper crane into the room. However, in the next second, the wind suddenly changed. Before Qing Jiuliu could grab the paper crane, the small paper bird was tossed out of the window by the air current. In the blink of an eye, the paper bird disappeared.
Suddenly, the wind grew stronger and violently flowed outwards.
"It's a dimensional rift!"
Just as Qing Jiuliu shouted, the wind caused his wheelchair to slide and hit him in the waist. In the blink of an eye, the whole room started to creak. At first, only a small and light object was tossed out of the window. However, in the blink of an eye, the window frame itself was torn off by the air current with a screeching sound. It disappeared into the night sky in the blink of an eye.
Lin Sanjiu squinted her eyes and looked up. The man in the [Criminal Suspect Outfit] had disappeared from the bedroom.
