When the light shone on the first floor, it finally dimmed, and the hall became dim. The first floor was empty. There were only a few pillars that she could hide behind. Lin Sanjiu leaned her back against one of the pillars. She closed her eyes and exhaled slowly.
"No matter what, I can't meet Bohemia face to face," Lin Sanjiu thought.
Bohemia brought her back to the Astral Plane because she wanted to get her Potential Growth Value back. Now that both of them were in the game together, with a prison guard on one side and a fugitive on the other, wasn't this the best opportunity for Bohemia?
If Bohemia managed to steal her Potential Growth Value, not only would Lin Sanjiu's chances of escaping from the Astral Plane be slimmer, but Bohemia would also not be kind enough to take her out of the Astral Plane. Lin Sanjiu's heart was filled with worry. If she couldn't get out of the Astral Plane, both her and her grand prize would be buried in the Salvation of God.
Therefore, J7 had to let go of Bohemia the moment she was about to collide with Bohemia. Lin Sanjiu glanced at the little device hanging quietly on her waist, trying to figure out how to tell it that.
The hall was empty and quiet. Other than the occasional conversation between the two prison guards, there wasn't even the sound of an electric current. Every time the prison guard spoke, his voice would echo for a long time before dissipating into the air. Under such circumstances, Lin Sanjiu would probably be heard immediately if she made a sound.
However, that was not the worst part. The worst part was that since there was almost nothing in the hall, the two men searched very quickly. They almost reached the pillar where she was hiding. Lin Sanjiu's face turned pale from anxiety. She looked to her left and right, but there was nothing around her. There was no place for her to hide. Even the next pillar was more than a hundred meters away.
Just like the cells on the floor above, there was not a single window in the hall. The only exit was the iron door behind the prison guard. Putting aside the question of whether J7's current higher consciousness was strong enough to blast open the iron gate, the man and the machine could not even get close to it at the moment. Just a moment ago, the tall and fat male player had released his "attachment condition" and placed it right in the middle of the iron gate.
"Come here," Bohemia suddenly said, breaking the silence. She pointed at the pillar where Lin Sanjiu was hiding, "Don't wander around. Come with me and take a look at this side."
Her attitude wasn't polite at all. Although the man was displeased, he grumbled and walked over. When he was a few steps away from the pillar, Bohemia frowned as if she had heard something. She immediately stopped, turned around, and gestured to the man.
The tall and fat man widened his beady eyes. He glanced at them and nodded solemnly.
When the two of them moved again, their footsteps were light and slow. Both of them were ready to strike at any time. They did not take the risk of going behind the pillar to check the situation. Instead, they exchanged glances with each other and launched their attacks at the back of the pillar. A few strange-looking plants immediately broke through the cement wall, swaying and casting shadows on the back of the pillar. Bohemia, on the other hand, remained silent as if nothing had happened. She gently slid open a door on the shadowy wall.
"No one," the tall and fat man grunted in dissatisfaction. He shot a glance at Bohemia as if to say that she was being paranoid. However, he didn't dare to say that in front of Bohemia. He just urged, "Let's go."
Bohemia frowned. Her long, golden-brown hair slid down her face. She took a few steps toward the pillar and carefully avoided the shell-like plants. Then, she looked left and right. After confirming that there was no one on the ground behind the pillar, she frowned again and walked back. "That's weird. I think I heard something here."
"What kind of sound?" The tall, fat man added a new echo to the echo that Bohemia had evoked. "Could it be the original sound of the prison building? I think it's a prison cell up there. "
"Now that you mention it, it's possible."
The two of them whispered to each other as they walked to the other end of the hall. After looking through the scattered tables and chairs, they even climbed up a few floors. However, they were probably too lazy to check the floors one by one. After a brief discussion, they decided to walk back to the entrance and wait for the next opportunity for the prisoner to escape from prison.
After the two players canceled their attachment conditions, Bohemia reached out her hand and pulled the iron door open. The heavy sound of metal rubbing together with the sharp screech of the hinges echoed in the hall.
Lin Sanjiu heaved a sigh of relief as the noise drowned out all other noises. She quickly touched J7 with the pad of her finger.
Now, J7 didn't look like a mechanical life form at all. Its body was completely opened. Its mechanical parts were hooked together into a few long ropes. The "claws" at the top of its body were attached to the ceiling. There was only a small, stapler-like part left. Lin Sanjiu could tell that it was its head.
J7's mechanical arm was still wrapped around Lin Sanjiu's waist. Lin Sanjiu spread her limbs, no, all three of her limbs, and held herself against the angle between the pillar and the ceiling. She struggled against the gravitational pull and did not dare to move an inch.
When Bohemia was searching from below, she could see Lin Sanjiu on the ceiling if she raised her head.
When J7 was touched by Lin Sanjiu, its Dynamo Core began to spin. Even though it was smaller than a cat, its Dynamo Core was very powerful. Even though Lin Sanjiu was attached to it, it still quickly retracted all its body parts. Both of them slid down the pillar and landed on the ground as quietly as possible.
"Thanks to you," Lin Sanjiu whispered to J7.
Lin Sanjiu had to admit that J7's body structure was much more useful than a human's. If it wasn't for the fact that it had to maintain physical contact with a human, it would have been able to escape by itself.
"Yeah, thanks to me," J7 agreed.
"What should we do now?" Lin Sanjiu was used to its way of talking. She asked, "Why don't we look for an exit other than the iron door?"
"But there are no windows here."
"What about the ventilation ducts?"
"You don't need to breathe in your higher consciousness form. The way you breathe now is a habit of your consciousness."
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help feeling a little worried. The building was like an iron bucket, so there was no way she and J7 could force their way out through the front door.
Just when she was about to ask J7 for its opinion, she saw that its "stapler", which was much smaller than before, suddenly turned 180 degrees and aimed behind her.
Just when Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat, she heard a loud bang on the iron door. The deafening sound echoed in the hall, startling Lin Sanjiu. Bohemia's anger came from the exit, and she could vaguely hear it through the heavy iron door. "Niu Zhan, you b * stard! I'll teach you a lesson when we get out of here! "
The Niu Zhan she was talking about was the tall and fat man. He was standing behind Lin Sanjiu and J7.
Hearing Bohemia's angry words, he laughed grimly and said in a low voice, "Everyone in the galaxy knows that you have lost half of your Potential Growth Value. Do you think you can still be the same as before?"
Lin Sanjiu hurriedly took two steps back. She understood what was going on. Ever since Bohemia lost her Potential Growth Value, the rumor must have gotten worse. Now, even the players who entered the game with her had betrayed her. "Why didn't you come in with her?" Lin Sanjiu didn't know whether she should say that she was lucky or not. She stared at the man called Niu Zhan cautiously and said, "Isn't it safer if the two of you come in together?"
"I don't know what the rules are on the prisoners' side," Niu Zhan grinned, "But as for the prison guards, whoever captures two prisoners first will get all the rewards. Otherwise, I wouldn't have tricked her with a camouflage and stayed in there. "
So, this guy had already noticed her and J7.
"Rewards? What kind of rewards? " Lin Sanjiu tried to stall him with words while trying to figure out what to do, "And how did you find out that I —"
Before she could finish her sentence, Niu Zhan was too lazy to continue the conversation. He glanced at Lin Sanjiu's empty wrist and let out a low chuckle. His deep and husky voice did not match with his tall and stout body, "I wonder how much Higher Consciousness you have invested in this game. If it's too little, it's not worth it. "
Before he finished his sentence, he had already pounced on her. Lin Sanjiu was about to step back when she suddenly felt a gust of wind behind her. She cursed inwardly and twisted her body to the side. She fell to the ground. When she turned around, she realized that a strange plant had sprouted out of the cement floor behind her. It opened its fleshy shell and pounced on Lin Sanjiu.
Lin Sanjiu rolled over J7's body, causing the robot to grunt unhappily. However, its grumble was quickly drowned out by Bohemia's curses and the banging of the door.
"Don't turn a capture game into a battle game," Niu Zhan's heart skipped a beat when he almost caught Lin Sanjiu twice in a row. Then, his face darkened, "Just let me catch you, and you won't get hurt. At most, you'll be sent back to your cell —"
"I think he's right," J7 said calmly in Lin Sanjiu's ear after it was thrown to the ground again.
Lin Sanjiu grabbed its "arm" and held it in her hand, fearing that it would lose its grip on her waist after being hit twice. The strange plants that looked like snakes kept crawling out of their feet. They opened their shells and pounced on Lin Sanjiu and Lin Sanjiu. While dodging the attacks, Lin Sanjiu explained to J7 in a low voice, "We can't be sent back! If I let this guy fail, he will be teleported out of the game. Bohemia doesn't know that I'm here, so she will definitely chase after him … That way, I'll be safe! "
"I don't understand, and I don't know who Bohemia is," J7 replied immediately.
It was only then that Lin Sanjiu realized that she had never told it about these messy things. She felt a headache coming on, so she quickly said, "Anyway, we can't go back!" Then, she rolled on the ground and dodged a flesh shell. However, as soon as she rolled on the ground, the cement beneath her suddenly cracked, revealing a patch of green.
As long as she was touched by it, no matter how capable she was, she would be thrown back to her cell.
However, it was too late. The plant had already crawled out of the cement in the blink of an eye. The flesh shell opened, and the lower half of her body was swallowed by the giant green clamp.
Niu Zhan laughed. Just as he took a step forward, his smile froze on his face.
It was true that the green clamp had caught the tall woman's back, but not only was she not thrown back to her cell, there was also no announcement that the fugitive had been captured. Niu Zhan's expression changed, but it was already too late.
With a pale face, Lin Sanjiu twisted her body. The front half of her body fell out of the green clamp, but the lower half of her body was still stuck in the clamp. It was as if a razor had been sliced horizontally across her head, cutting her in half. That was exactly what J7 had demonstrated to her.
If she wasn't in her higher consciousness form, she would have been a bloody mess.
Even J7 was shocked speechless by the scene just now. It was originally in Lin Sanjiu's hand, but when she was "cut" in half, it almost fell into the green clamp. When J7 realized that he was still on the first floor, the light on the stapler blinked rapidly as if it had finally experienced the "mixed feelings" of human beings.
Lin Sanjiu had never experienced the feeling of having only half a body. For a moment, she couldn't control her limbs, which had been cut off, and fell to the ground. Only then did she feel a lingering fear. If she had reacted half a millisecond later and didn't split her higher consciousness body before she touched the clamp, she would already be sitting in a jail cell.
Niu Zhan's round, white face darkened. Seeing that Lin Sanjiu couldn't get up for the time being, he slowly walked over to her with an angry smile on his face.
"I don't know what you are struggling for. Just admit defeat. Don't waste my time." As he spoke, he subconsciously looked at the direction of the iron door.
Bohemia had stopped yelling and cursing Niu Zhan's mother, but the banging sound of her trying to break the iron door never stopped. Apparently, he was a little annoyed. Niu Zhan snorted as the veins on his forehead bulged. He looked at the motionless Lin Sanjiu on the ground and sneered, "You have spent so much effort, but I still caught you. I will send you back to your cell, and I will find another prisoner — "
Before he could finish his sentence, his large hand had already lunged at Lin Sanjiu.
"Find another prisoner?"
An idea flashed in Lin Sanjiu's mind. At the same time, she shouted at J7 in her hand, "Hit his head!"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Niu Zhan's shadow fell on her face. Before Niu Zhan could react, a series of rapid gunshots rang out. J7 had already pulled out its gun barrel and fired a dozen bullets at Niu Zhan's face. After the dozen bullets, J7 was reduced to the size of two melon seeds.
However, that was enough.
Niu Zhan only had enough time to cover his face, but the bullets had pierced through his hand. The part of his Higher Consciousness that was destroyed was now floating in the air. The part that was not destroyed gradually disappeared.
Niu Zhan did not expect that the second prisoner had been right in front of him all this time. It was this seemingly lifeless thing. He came forward because he saw that Lin Sanjiu couldn't move, and he was angry. However, he was shot at at such a close distance. Even though his Higher Consciousness was much stronger than J7's, he still failed miserably.
"Prison guard, if you fail to stop the jailbreak, please leave the game."
While Lin Sanjiu and J7 were still lying on the ground, their hearts still beating fast, the announcement suddenly came from the prison building. It startled both of them. The last time they killed a prisoner, there was no announcement like this. It seemed like this announcement was only for battles between players.
"I think these consciousness bodies are a reward for us," J7's synthetic voice sounded hopeful. Perhaps it was because J7 was too eager to return to its original form. "Quick, let's go up there and see if we can absorb —"
Before it could finish its sentence, the iron door was kicked open with a "Dang".
Bohemia's panting voice drifted into Lin Sanjiu's ears like a nightmare.
"You wanted to leave me behind and eat alone, but you got yourself killed. Serves you right," Bohemia wiped her face, and a cold smile appeared on her face. She took a few steps into the door and looked around. She had already found the place where the few people were fighting. As she was still far from the door, she leaped a few times and landed in front of Lin Sanjiu and J7 in the blink of an eye.
"The fisherman reaps all the benefits," she said with a smile. Just as she was about to grab Lin Sanjiu, her gaze fell on Lin Sanjiu's face.
At that moment, Lin Sanjiu felt despair.
The smile on Bohemia's face froze.
The next second, to Lin Sanjiu's surprise, Bohemia retracted her hand. She covered her face with her hand and squatted down. Her charming demeanor was gone. She was angry, helpless, and aggrieved at the same time. Bohemia let out a howl from her palm.
"What the hell is going on?" She roared as if she was venting her anger, "The prisoner is also a player? And this bastard! "
