"Why is it a planet?"
There was no answer to this question at the moment.
Half an hour later, Lin Sanjiu was the first one to get up from the ground.
Her limbs were still trembling due to exhaustion. Her ears were still ringing from the deafening roar of the tsunami and the collapse of the world. Even after such a long time, she still hadn't recovered from it.
Dozens of steps away from her was a bottomless sinkhole that stretched as far as the eye could see. A thick layer of the ground had been torn off, revealing the silent darkness underneath. The only trace left of the small town was the broken underground pipe that had not been swept away.
Cars, streets, and houses had all disappeared from this piece of land. No, it should be said that even the land itself had disappeared.
After tying Magus up with the bone whip, Lin Sanjiu and the others dragged their exhausted bodies and hurried away from this place.
They had no idea where they should go. In fact, no matter which direction they took, it was the same for them. They chose a direction that was opposite to the fissure and wandered aimlessly for a few days. Finally, they found a small city to rest their feet.
There seemed to be no concept of a country in this world. Even though they had traveled across the continent, they only saw one town after another.
It was a small city located at the edge of the continent. It took them less than 20 minutes to walk from the east to the west. However, it seemed that they had experienced an unknown bloodshed. All the entrances and exits of the city were blocked by layers of barbed wire fences that looked like thorns. When they cut down the barbed wire and entered the streets, they discovered that the streets were littered with white bones, severed limbs, and dried blood.
"Someone has locked up these lunatics," Ji Shanqing concluded after they walked a few streets, "It seems that the people here have all been eaten."
Other than Lin Sanjiu, the grand prize didn't care about the survival of any other human being. As he spoke, he kicked away a corpse that was blocking his way. It was a leg bone that had been gnawed to the point where only a few shreds of flesh hung on it. It clanged against the floor, creating a series of echoes.
"Let's take a break here." After walking for so long, Qing Jiuliu looked like a fish out of water in agony. He plopped down on the side of the road and refused to take another step. "… To be honest, with every step we take, my desire to leave you guys is getting stronger."
"It would be great if we could stay here until the day of transfer," Ji Shanqing chimed in, "We don't have to meet up with the others anyway."
"If even the seawater was sucked into the dimensional fissure, Cyrus and Irezumi, who traveled by sea, would probably be dead already."
Every time Lin Sanjiu thought of this, she felt as if someone had punched her in the stomach.
"Alright, we do need to rest," Lin Sanjiu sighed after a while.
They did not encounter any mental patients along the way, so they seemed to be quite safe. However, Lin Sanjiu was still worried. After checking the entire town, they settled down in the town hall. They cleared away the corpses and dragged a few mattresses out of the houses. Then, they lined up the mattresses in the corridor behind the hall. That was the 'camp' they had set up.
The water source in the town came from a reservoir outside the town. The decomposed corpses in the reservoir had already rotted into a puddle of viscous liquid. Perhaps it was due to the mental patients who had been living in the town for some time, the water and food in the town had already been depleted. The few of them walked around the town a few times, and the biggest reward they got was an undamaged tobacco and liquor store.
Relying on the clean water in Lin Sanjiu's card and the few remaining [Military Compressed Heat Crystals], the few of them lived a peaceful life. If it weren't for the fact that the "visa agent" in [eBay] had not replied to their messages, they could have lived a carefree life.
"Still nothing," after another round of disappointment, Lin Sanjiu turned the red plastic letters in her hand into a card and put it away. Then, she sighed. Recently, she had left a few messages for the "visa agent" as if she was rushing him. However, her messages were like stones sinking into the ocean. She did not receive any response.
"It has been a long time since he replied. Could it be that the person has been sucked into the dimensional fissure?" Mrs. Manas asked in her mind.
Lin Sanjiu frowned and did not say anything for a long time. She had thought of this possibility before, but if that was the case, things would be troublesome.
Where else could she go to find a visa?
After a few seconds, Lin Sanjiu suppressed that thought and changed the topic, "How's the situation in the Astral Plane? Can I go there now? "
When Lin Sanjiu asked that question, Mrs. Manas heaved a sigh that sounded like a human.
"Didn't I tell you before? You haven't advanced your [School of Higher Consciousness] to that level. Even if I wake up, you still won't be able to enter the Astral Plane —" As she said this, she seemed to feel a surge of annoyance. "Sigh, actually, this is the conclusion I came to after analyzing the information you told me. If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't even know about the Astral Plane. "
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help being shocked, "What? You don't know? "
"How would I know?" Mrs. Manas replied confidently, "I am the teacher assigned by the [School of Higher Consciousness]. I will teach you the content of the level that your ability has reached. I am not a Bodhisattva who guides monkeys to seek Buddhist scriptures. I am not a Bodhisattva who knows everything!"
Lin Sanjiu's eyes widened. For a moment, she was speechless. The only sound that lingered in the air was the faint chatter from the hall outside.
After some thought, Lin Sanjiu asked hurriedly, "What should I do?"
Mrs. Manas sighed again. If she had a physical body, Lin Sanjiu's brain would have been blown out from her ears.
"Didn't I tell you before? You can only take it one step at a time. If what Nuwa said is true, then when your ability is upgraded to the highest level, you will naturally be able to go to the Astral Plane. "
"How long do I have to wait?" Lin Sanjiu was unwilling to give up. "I haven't even entered secondary school. Can't you think of a way? Didn't Nuwa send me there in advance? "
Mrs. Manas muttered in her mind. Even though Lin Sanjiu couldn't hear it clearly, she felt that it was something like "Then, you should go and look for Nuwa."
"Listen to me," Mrs. Manas paused for a moment. Then, she spoke as if she was a little tired. "If the [School of Higher Consciousness] is an application program, then I am the user interface. Through me, you can learn new abilities and upgrade to a new version. However, as a user interface, I can't cheat for you. Even if I'm an intelligent AI, I can't. This is not how the program is designed. "
Lin Sanjiu finally understood the analogy.
"However," Mrs. Manas changed the topic, "You don't have to be discouraged. For the past few years, the advancement of your [School of Higher Consciousness] has been so slow because of the constant incidents. One moment, you were locked, and the next moment, you lost your physical body. It wasn't easy to get your body back, but Nuwa kept attacking and obstructing you. Now that her higher consciousness is gone, you can rest assured. In the following period of time, your advancement speed will definitely be much faster. "
After Lin Sanjiu listened to Mrs. Manas, there was still no sign of relief on her face.
"I wonder if Magus can wait for that day." After some time, Lin Sanjiu rubbed her face. "I stole her chance to survive, so I owe her my life."
She stood up after saying that. Just now, Ji Shanqing and Ji Shanqing had pushed Magus out of the living room, saying that they wanted to let her "sunbathe" outside. Now that they had been out for a while, Lin Sanjiu followed the sound of the conversation outside and walked out of the living room.
At this moment, the weather outside was perfect. The afternoon sun shone like molten gold, filling every inch of the air. The blue sky was so clear that there was not a single cloud in sight.
Lin Sanjiu's jaw dropped.
She finally understood why her grand prize and Qing Jiuliu were so eager to bring Magus out to sunbathe.
"Your feeling just now was a little interesting. It means that you are talented." Qing Jiuliu held a cigarette in his mouth, so he didn't notice Lin Sanjiu standing in the living room. He frowned and said to Ji Shanqing with a serious expression, "But I'm not a fan of Stanislavski's school. It sounds nice to be immersed in the role, but in fact, it puts a lot of limitations on an actor … Of course, for you … "
Lin Sanjiu took a few steps forward in a daze. Her eyes darted around.
"I'm more inclined to Brecht's school of acting. You must play a role that is higher than your own. You must selectively show the core of the character to the audience."
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The grand prize nodded repeatedly as if he understood what Qing Jiuliu was saying. Then, he coughed and turned to face Magus, who was sitting motionless in her new wheelchair. His face darkened.
"You don't have a mother. But let's assume that she is the woman who created you and abandoned you …"
Gradually, an indescribable expression appeared on the grand prize's face. He looked like a broken child who was trying to put up a strong front in front of others.
"Yes. That's great. Now, imagine that she suddenly told you that she also has her own difficulties …"
When Lin Sanjiu heard this, she couldn't stand it anymore. She strode into the courtyard and yelled, "What are you guys doing?!"
Her voice startled the two of them. They turned around at the same time. Apparently, they were too engrossed in their acting lesson that they didn't even hear her footsteps.
"Sis!" The grand prize raised his head and smiled, revealing his perfect set of teeth. "He is teaching me how to act."
"Why are you learning this?" Lin Sanjiu looked at Magus, who was standing behind them. The latter had a headscarf on her head, which covered her blonde hair. She looked really... plain.
Of course, if Starry Sky knew about Magus wearing a Jimmy Choo, she probably wouldn't be happy about it.
Qing Jiuliu puffed out a mouthful of smoke and said lazily, "Let me tell you something. If you learn how to act, it will be very useful."
"What is it?"
"Sis, think about it," the grand prize replied confidently, "If I can act well, people will believe whatever I say. Isn't that a lot safer for us?"
Lin Sanjiu knitted her brows and looked at the two of them. After a few seconds, she replied with an "Oh... Maybe?"
"To be honest, I'm just too lazy to act," Qing Jiuliu replied. His expression made it seem as though he was doing someone a huge favor by not acting, "Otherwise, I'd be able to fool the two of you with your intellect."
The grand prize was a little displeased, "That doesn't include me, right?"
Qing Jiuliu didn't answer him. He continued, "So, I think you should take a good acting lesson as well."
Lin Sanjiu didn't say anything. She stared at the two of them. Suddenly, her eyes widened and her face turned pale.
"Your surprised expression is a little exaggerated," Qing Jiuliu commented, "Inner —"
Before he could finish his sentence, the grand prize suddenly slapped him on the arm. Shocked, Qing Jiuliu quickly turned his head away.
Magus, who was sitting behind them, still had her eyes closed. Her body slowly faded as if she was going to melt into the air.
"Is she going to be teleported?" A low growl erupted from Lin Sanjiu's chest. She dashed forward and grabbed Magus's sleeve. However, she knew it was useless. Seeing that the color of Magus's body was fading, Lin Sanjiu was so anxious that she felt as if there was a fire in her chest.
Since Magus was the first to be teleported, it meant that she would be teleported to another world alone!
"Put the Criminal Suspect Outfit on her!" Suddenly, Qing Jiuliu shouted. Lin Sanjiu reacted immediately. She quickly placed her hand on Magus' shoulder and the [Criminal Suspect Outfit] appeared. The moment she touched Magus' body, the [Criminal Suspect Outfit] transformed into a black cloak and wrapped Magus in it.
Before the black coat completely covered Magus, Lin Sanjiu suddenly felt her hand was empty. When she looked down, the sleeve that she grabbed just now had disappeared from her palm.
It was as if Magus had evaporated. She was nowhere to be found.
Due to inertia, the wheelchair slid forward a little.
The three of them fell silent as they stared at the spot where Magus was sitting. For a moment, no one made a sound.
After some time, Lin Sanjiu squatted down and pressed her temples. The thing that she didn't want to happen the most had happened. Next, she had to find a visa to travel to Magus's world as soon as possible...
"Hey, I say," Qing Jiuliu's voice suddenly broke the silence.
"Okay," Lin Sanjiu replied without raising her head.
"I think I'm going to be teleported too …"
As if they were pricked by a needle, Lin Sanjiu and the grand prize jumped up. When she raised her head, she almost blacked out.
Qing Jiuliu raised one of his hands. With an indescribable expression, he observed his fading fingertips. The gold-like sunlight shone down on him, shining on his body like a crystal, and refracting the air with a rainbow of colors. He looked like a glossy bubble on the beach that was about to disappear in the blink of an eye.
"Bubble!"
Lin Sanjiu shuddered. For a moment, her skin went numb. She was half glad and half surprised that she didn't think of this earlier. Without wasting any time, she took out a card and shoved it into Qing Jiuliu's hand. At the same time, she deactivated the card.
That was the [Bubbly Visa] that her grand prize issued to her. As the duration of the visa was too short, she didn't put much hope in it. At that time, she just took a glance at it and put it away. Soon, she forgot about it.
It might not have existed for a long time, but it was issued by Ji Shanqing. That was enough.
After her ability leveled up, the type of visa issued by Ji Shanqing remained the same. In her hand was a visa to the low-level "Sandwich Biscuit" world.
"Remember," Lin Sanjiu shoved another [My Hand That Runs Through Your Black Hair] into the hand of the almost invisible figure and shouted, "Even if you have to seduce people with your body, you must protect Magus's life! If anything happens, we'll meet again in the Twelve Worlds Centrum! "
