After an intense battle, the hall on the first floor of the prison had returned to its original appearance. The cement and gravel, which had been drilled by the plants, had been reconstructed into a flat ground. Bohemia was pacing back and forth on the ground with her bare feet. The turquoise anklets that were wrapped around her ankles knocked against each other, creating a crisp sound in the air.
Lin Sanjiu looked like a pig that had been sliced in half. She had no idea how she could stand up again. She didn't feel any pain since she had split her Higher Consciousness Body, but she couldn't stand up because she only had the front half of her palms left. She had no choice but to lie on the ground and stare at Bohemia with a bewildered expression.
The blonde-haired beauty's face was now ashen. She hugged her arms and paced for a long time before she finally calmed down. She stomped back to Lin Sanjiu and squatted down in front of her. Her soft and loose dress draped over the ground, making it look like a tent.
"No matter what," Bohemia gritted her teeth as if she was declaring her sovereignty, "... I want my Potential Growth Value back!"
Lin Sanjiu looked at Bohemia. She didn't panic at all.
If Lin Sanjiu could do it directly, Bohemia wouldn't squat down and talk. Lin Sanjiu thought for a moment and even flashed a smile at Bohemia, "Why don't you take it? Why don't you take it?"
Bohemia gasped.
"I'm warning you —"
She slammed her palm on the cement floor. Her brown eyes were red as if they were about to burst into flames. It took a lot of willpower for her to stop herself from punching Lin Sanjiu, "You, you —"
She was so angry that she stuttered.
Lin Sanjiu smacked her lips and lowered her head to the floor. Losing the back of her head was not a big deal. She could move her neck more flexibly. After the intense battle, she felt a little tired. She asked listlessly, "You brought me to the Astral Plane just to get your Potential Growth Value back, right?"
"Of course!"
"I returned to the gaming ground as soon as I arrived. Why did you follow me here? It can't be a coincidence — "
"Of course not!" Initially, Bohemia was so angry that she did not know where to start. However, when Lin Sanjiu asked her two questions, Bohemia continued, "You were brought here by my Special Item. Logically speaking, when you entered the galaxy, you were supposed to stay by my side and never leave my side. In the end, when I opened my eyes, I found that you were gone, but I was right next to the online game. Even a fool could guess that you must be in the game. Did you forcefully quit the game halfway through? What method did he use? "
"Oh." Lin Sanjiu did not explain further.
Her sudden realization and silence somehow made Bohemia even angrier, "... Oh my ass! I spent a few extra Potential Value to find the game you were in by following your name! This online game sure knows how to make money. It's just a powerful additional condition, but you can earn a lot of Potential Growth Value here … "
Her journey to get her Potential Growth Value back was a bumpy one. So far, she had not gotten any Potential Growth Value back. Instead, she had wasted a lot of manpower and resources. Just the straw rope that she used to tie Lin Sanjiu into the Astral Plane cost her a lot of Special Items.
"I can't fight back now. Why didn't you come and get your Potential Growth Value back?" Lin Sanjiu was just trying to anger Bohemia, but now, she was really curious.
"Because the online game doesn't allow it," Bohemia shot a glare at Lin Sanjiu and sat on the floor with her legs crossed. "This is a place to practice and improve your abilities. If you can't even keep your Potential Growth Value, who would come here?"
Lin Sanjiu did not think of this. She immediately felt relieved.
After thinking about the situation, Lin Sanjiu suddenly understood the situation at hand.
From Bohemia's point of view, she was now caught in a dilemma. If the prison guards won the game, she would be teleported out of the prison. Lin Sanjiu knew that Bohemia would definitely be waiting for her outside, so she wouldn't be so stupid as to send herself into the prison. Once the 30 days were up, she would have to leave the Astral Plane obediently. Even if she returned immediately, it would just be a tug-of-war.
The only solution left was to let the prisoner win the game.
"What are the rules of the game for the prison guard?" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help asking, "If the prisoner escapes, will you be forced to stay in the game until you win, or will you be teleported away?"
Even though Lin Sanjiu asked that question, she could already guess the answer. If Bohemia could be teleported away with the prisoner, she would have "committed suicide" on the spot.
Bohemia was honest. She mumbled unhappily, "... If I am defeated by the prisoner, I will be teleported away immediately. If the prisoner escapes, I will have to serve an hour of my sentence. "
"No wonder. If Lin Sanjiu, the prisoner, wins the game, Bohemia must be worried that Lin Sanjiu would run away during the hour."
The only two places where she could meet Lin Sanjiu face to face were the Salvation of God and the online gaming arena. Unfortunately, neither of these two places allowed her to harvest Potential Growth Value directly. The more Bohemia thought about it, the angrier she became. Her beautiful face was filled with a series of curses. "What?
"Are you guys done talking?"
J7 couldn't help asking as it was pinched between Lin Sanjiu's fingers.
Bohemia was startled. She looked around, but she couldn't find the person who was talking to her. Just as she was about to jump up, she turned around and saw a black dot the size of a melon seed between Lin Sanjiu's fingers. The black dot spoke. There was a tinge of displeasure in its monotonous voice, "... The Higher Consciousness Body fragment over there has disappeared."
"What … What is this?" Bohemia stretched out a finger as if she wanted to poke it.
"Don't touch me!" J7 raised its voice, "If you touch me, we will all be thrown back to our cells."
"This little piece of metal is also a player?" Bohemia was surprised. She retracted her finger and took a few steps back. "Are you trying to absorb the Higher Consciousness Body fragment? That won't work. All the Higher Consciousness Bodies lost in the game will be purified and turned into pure Higher Consciousness. Then, the Higher Consciousness Body will be given to the winner as a reward. "
J7 did not say anything.
Lin Sanjiu noticed that J7 didn't come to grab her and kept a certain distance from them. Lin Sanjiu guessed that J7 was right. Bohemia must be stuck in a dilemma right now. After giving it some thought, Lin Sanjiu took the initiative to ask, "Actually, if you get your Potential Growth Value back, you won't bother me anymore, right?"
Bohemia sneered, "I hate being humiliated the most. Normally, if someone makes me hold my breath for so many times in a row, I won't let them go. But since you have saved my life, I won't hold it against you. However, I have to get my Potential Growth Value back. "
"You were the one who tried to take it from me first. How can you be so confident?"
"In the Astral Plane, the strong prey on the weak. If it was Nuwa who took my Potential Growth Value, I would have nothing to say. But since it was you, and I think I can defeat you, how can I not give it a try?"
J7's little head turned back and forth. It was very confused about the grudge between the two of them. It looked from one to the other.
Lin Sanjiu chuckled, "Then, according to what you said, you tried to take my Potential Growth Value, but I took it from you instead. Isn't that reasonable?"
Bohemia blushed and murmured something, "That's a different matter," but no one could hear what she said.
"So, what are you going to do now?"
"I … I don't know," Bohemia was at a loss.
"How about this," Lin Sanjiu thought for a moment and said, "I think I took your Potential Growth Value fair and square. If you can take it from me, you can. If you can't, I won't return it to you."
Unlike Ji Shanqing or Gong Daoyi, she was not someone who could fool people with just a few words. Therefore, when she spoke the truth, it made it easier for people to believe her. The veins on Bohemia's forehead bulged. She said coldly, "The problem is, I can't take it from you now!"
"Actually, there is a way," Lin Sanjiu didn't expect that she would one day provide an opportunity for her enemy to attack her, "But, we have to work together."
The doubt on Bohemia's face was so thick that it could choke a person to death.
"Just let me kill you," Lin Sanjiu said with a relaxed expression, "Think about it. As soon as I kill you, you can teleport out of here and wait for me outside. Since I have defeated you, I can't stay in this cell anymore. Even if I want to accept the reward, it will only take me a while. Once I'm out of here, you can do whatever you want, right? "
"I don't believe you," Bohemia refuted, "Why do you want to put yourself in danger? It doesn't make sense at all. Ah, I know. You must want to exit the game as soon as I'm gone, like last time, right? Let me tell you, even if you exit the galaxy, with my protective circle, you can't hurt me — "
"It was Magus who did it." Then, Lin Sanjiu told Bohemia how she was forcefully dragged out of the game the last time. "If it wasn't for her, how could I break the rules of the Casino?"
Bohemia did not say anything. She knew that Lin Sanjiu was acquainted with Magus, and from the looks of it, they seemed to be friends and not enemies. Not long after they met, Lin Sanjiu disappeared from the starry sky. What Magus said was somewhat believable.
"You know about this?" J7 immediately turned around and asked her for confirmation.
"I know," Bohemia answered casually.
"She said she didn't know how she got in here this time …"
"I was the one who dragged her in."
As soon as Lin Sanjiu said that, J7 on her finger immediately moved. Its body that was as big as a melon seed suddenly split open. From its human form, it reassembled itself into a shorter mechanical body. "You are telling the truth. I have misunderstood you. I apologize for that."
"You don't have to apologize. You did suffer because of me …" Lin Sanjiu was a little flustered. She tried to change the topic, "What do you mean by changing your shape?"
"I heard that when you humans apologize, you have to salute to show your sincerity. So, I'm kneeling."
"Get up!" Lin Sanjiu was so scared that she almost dropped J7's finger. "Change back to your original shape!"
J7 obediently changed back to its upright form.
While they were talking, Bohemia was deep in thought. Her eyebrows were knitted so tightly that they almost looked like fried dough twists. After a long while, she asked hesitantly, "Even so, I still don't understand. Aren't you afraid? My ability is stronger than yours. "
"Not necessarily. Besides, even if I can't defeat you, I can still run. I don't believe that I can't outrun you. "
This was indeed Lin Sanjiu's true thoughts. She was different from before. Now that she had Syphilis and Bohemia's Potential Growth Value, her Higher Consciousness had increased tremendously, and she had just leveled up. Mrs. Manas had also woken up, so she was brimming with confidence. She even had a feeling that she might be able to leave the galaxy even without Bohemia.
More importantly, Lin Sanjiu planned to take advantage of this rare opportunity to enter the galaxy to inquire about Magus' whereabouts. Even if she could only ask one person, it was still better than not asking at all.
As for the body she had left in the Salvation of God, Lin Sanjiu wasn't worried about it. Bohemia would never kill her when she had so much Potential Growth Value.
Once she made up her mind, Lin Sanjiu urged Bohemia impatiently, "What do you think? Make up your mind. "
The more she urged, the more hesitant Bohemia became. After thinking for a long time, she finally gritted her teeth and said, "Fine! Let's fight fair and square. But, both of you are already in this state. How are you going to defeat me? "
"That's why I said we need to work together," Lin Sanjiu grinned at Bohemia. "Let me rest for a while. At least, I can move again."
Lin Sanjiu only had half a body left. Even after resting for half a day, she still couldn't fully recover. However, she could still control one of her arms.
Bohemia moved two chairs over. She broke one of them and used the leg of the chair to pick up half of Lin Sanjiu's body. Then, she placed Lin Sanjiu on the other chair. She sharpened the broken leg of the chair and passed it to Bohemia. Throughout the process, they carefully avoided physical contact, so they did not trigger any notifications.
After Lin Sanjiu held onto the leg of the chair, Bohemia sat on the floor with a pale face. She was nervous, indignant, and a little scared. She stretched her neck. She closed her eyes and said in a righteous tone, "Come on! But you have to be quick. Otherwise, it won't hurt too much. "
Lin Sanjiu did not say anything. She thrust her hand forward, and the sharp prong pierced into Bohemia's neck. Bohemia screamed in pain, but her skin did not even blush. This was because Bohemia's higher consciousness form was much stronger than Lin Sanjiu's.
"You can't help it," Lin Sanjiu praised Bohemia as if she was consoling her. "You have such a strong higher consciousness. Do it again. Do it again. "
