Startled, Lin Sanjiu pulled her arm back with all her might. The katana she snatched from the samurai's hand had disappeared along with the movie. In a moment of desperation, Lin Sanjiu pulled with all her might, fearing that she wouldn't be able to shake off the person in the dark.
However, to her surprise, the hand that was holding her in the dark was as light as a feather, as if it was weightless. Lin Sanjiu did not encounter any resistance when she pulled her arm away. Instead, she staggered a little. However, the hand was still holding her arm, and it did not loosen its grip at all.
Lin Sanjiu's scalp went numb. Right at that moment, Bohemia suddenly yelled, "Who's there?" Then, she screamed, "Lin Sanjiu! Are you trying to scare me? Let go of me! "
"I didn't touch you!" Lin Sanjiu immediately understood what was going on. She said anxiously, "I've been caught too!"
As she spoke, she fumbled around for an overturned chair and threw it at the person who held her in the dark. However, the chair flew straight through the air and fell into the darkness behind her without any resistance. It fell to the ground with a loud thud.
The chair flew through the air, but the hand was still holding her arm like a shadow.
"This is not a human!"
As the thought flashed across her mind, Lin Sanjiu suddenly understood what the old man's "contamination" was. The hand that was holding her was just a form. Even if she managed to shake it off, there would be another form that would stick to her body and continue to corrode her Higher Consciousness.
That's right. In just ten seconds, she could feel her Higher Consciousness being corroded bit by bit like a sponge that had been soaked in strong acid.
Strangely, the process did not hurt at all. It only caused the Higher Consciousness on her arm to loosen and soften, like a decayed tooth that was about to fall out.
When both her and Bohemia's Higher Consciousness were almost "corroded", they would become meat on the chopping board. By that time, the old man would be able to take away all of their Potential Growth Value.
Lin Sanjiu knew that she had to get rid of the old man's "contamination" as soon as possible. She gritted her teeth and decided to lie to Bohemia for once. She raised her voice and yelled at her, "Take the house, and I will use my attached condition to catch him! As for how to get rid of it, that's up to you! "
Apparently, Bohemia had also noticed the strangeness of the "hand" that had grabbed her. She was probably struggling in the dark, making a series of noises. She was startled when she heard Lin Sanjiu's question. She asked hesitantly, "What … What is your attachment condition?"
"Are you stupid? Am I supposed to say it out loud? " Lin Sanjiu said grumpily. She couldn't get rid of the hand on her right arm. If she used her left arm to free herself, her left arm would be corroded as well. "Don't worry. He has caught me with this thing. Once you put away the house, I can catch him immediately!"
Bohemia knew that she wouldn't have a good ending if she continued to hold on. She was skeptical, but she was really desperate. Ever since she had lost a quarter of her Potential Growth Value, her Higher Consciousness had become much weaker. She didn't think she could hold on much longer. If the old man managed to get his hands on her, she would lose more than a quarter of her Potential Growth Value. With that in mind, Bohemia steeled her resolve and yelled, "Be careful! His "contamination" is a countermeasure. It can only be used on attached conditions. That's why he likes to sneak up on people! "
As soon as she finished her sentence, Lin Sanjiu felt her vision blur. The absolute darkness disappeared. Even though the starry sky was also filled with darkness, there was a faint glimmer of starlight. The hand that had grabbed her arm disappeared, and the corrosion of her Higher Consciousness finally stopped. Lin Sanjiu turned around and saw that she was floating in the void again. Not far away from her, there was a pink star that was as gorgeous and gentle as cherry blossoms.
"A star?"
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment. Then, she heard Bohemia yelling, "He is running away! Hurry up and release your condition! "
Lin Sanjiu's face immediately turned bitter. Where did she get the conditions to place it?
However, she couldn't just sit around and do nothing after she had tricked Bohemia. She immediately pounced toward the cherry blossom star. Moreover, Lin Sanjiu was also angry at the old man.
As if he knew what Lin Sanjiu was thinking, the moment she moved, the star also dashed far away, leaving a trail of pink light behind it. When Lin Sanjiu looked up again, the cherry blossom star had already become a tiny dot. When the old man realized that his attack had failed, he left without hesitation.
His Higher Consciousness was stronger than the two women, so Lin Sanjiu couldn't catch up to his speed. He disappeared in the blink of an eye. The two women chased after him with all their might for a while, but there was nothing left in front of them.
Staring at the direction where the old man disappeared, Bohemia slowly stopped and transformed back into her human form.
Her pair of light brown eyes looked like flowing lava. She turned her head slowly and glared at Lin Sanjiu, "Why didn't you release your condition? Didn't you say that you could catch him the moment I keep the house? "
Lin Sanjiu hesitated for a moment. Her lies were like a snowball. She thought for a moment and decided to confess, "Erm … I'm sorry. I lied to you. I haven't generated any condition yet."
Lin Sanjiu didn't have enough vocabulary to describe Bohemia's rage at that moment. She seemed to have forgotten that she was an adult and a posthuman as she pounced on Lin Sanjiu. Bohemia was not as tall as Lin Sanjiu, so she was like a monkey hugging a tree trunk. She sprawled on Lin Sanjiu's back, kicking, biting, cursing, and crying. Her voice was muffled, "You have caused me so much trouble … My condition … You … Argh!"
Lin Sanjiu narrowed her eyes and let Bohemia kick and hit her. She didn't feel much pain anyway. When Bohemia was tired, Lin Sanjiu tried to comfort her, "Look at the situation just now. If you don't keep the house, the consequences will be worse —"
"It's none of your business!"
Bohemia was well aware of that, but it was like cutting off a piece of meat from a stock market. Even though she knew that she would lose more if she persisted, she still felt terrible. She vented all her anger on Lin Sanjiu, "You have taken so much Potential Growth Value from me, but why didn't you get any condition? If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have ended up like this! "
Bohemia was overwhelmed with grief when she said that. She wiped her eyes and realized that her eyes were already red. Bohemia couldn't do anything to Lin Sanjiu now. Now that her conditions had been contaminated, she would be affected as well. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She sat on the road and sobbed. Then, she started to cry.
Lin Sanjiu felt that her head was getting bigger because of Bohemia's crying. Looking at Bohemia like this, Lin Sanjiu sighed and squatted down in front of her.
Lin Sanjiu had met many people who wanted to harm her, but it was rare to see someone like Bohemia who hurt herself so badly. Lin Sanjiu thought about it for a while and finally said, "Don't cry."
Bohemia's cries grew louder.
"Don't cry. Listen to me first," Lin Sanjiu said helplessly. Lin Sanjiu felt a little helpless. "I can't stay in the Astral Plane for too long. I have to leave now. I need to look for my friend. Are you coming with me? "
Bohemia choked with sobs, "I thought you had something to say!"
"If you want to leave, let's go together." Lin Sanjiu hesitated for a few seconds before she said, "I have a favor to ask you. It might be able to solve your problem."
Bohemia stopped crying and raised her head. "Wh … What is it?"
"You said that you haven't seen Magus after I left, but that's impossible," Lin Sanjiu said solemnly, "You know that Magus and I are friends, right? Let me tell you, she must be in the Astral Plane right now. I just don't know where she is. "
"So what?"
"I really can't spare myself to look for her, so I have a few words for you to convey to Magus. As long as you can see her and tell her what I said, it will be equivalent to saving her life. "Lin Sanjiu knew that she might be exaggerating a little, but to Magus, who was currently drifting aimlessly in space and had a body that she couldn't return to, even a little bit of information was precious." Let me ask you this. Compared to the Potential Growth Value that you've lost and the favor that Magus owes you, which one is more valuable? "
Bohemia had completely stopped crying. Her eyes were sparkling with the remaining tears, and gradually brightened a little. However, there was still a hint of doubt in her eyes. "If it is really as you said, and it is indeed a great favor, then of course it is a great favor. If she is willing to help me, I can't keep even one of the Potential Growth Value of that old man. But if you lie to me again … Besides, I haven't heard any news about her for the past six months. How do you know that she is in the Astral Plane? "
Lin Sanjiu pondered for a moment. She didn't know whether she should tell Bohemia the truth or not. In the end, she was still worried about Magus, so she only told Bohemia a little, "She is with my friend, so I know about her current situation. Don't worry, as long as you find her and tell her what I said, she will be very grateful to you. "
Seeing that Bohemia was still hesitating, Lin Sanjiu added, "You and I are both in the Salvation of God. As long as you agree to help me, I will do my best to protect your body."
"That's not necessary." Bohemia still kept a straight face, but her anger had faded away. Now that she no longer had any conditions, she only had two choices: one was to admit defeat, and the other was to find the old man. However, even if she found the old man immediately, she wouldn't have the ability to defeat him. She might even become a piece of meat on the chopping board. Now that there was a third option, she had to give it a try even though it seemed like a long way to go.
When she was strong, she was unrestrained and hot-tempered. She would stir up trouble everywhere she went. Now that she was in trouble, she didn't have many friends to take care of her. When Bohemia thought of this, she suddenly looked at Lin Sanjiu and said, "You have a lot of friends."
"Yeah," Lin Sanjiu could not figure out what was going on.
Bohemia pondered for a long time and knocked on Lin Sanjiu's side for a while. Finally, she agreed to help Lin Sanjiu. However, even though she had formed a temporary alliance with Lin Sanjiu, Bohemia was still worried. She rubbed her nose and stood up, "I'll go with you … I need to find a place to hide anyway."
Lin Sanjiu was more than happy to let Bohemia bring her out.
When the two of them reappeared in the Salvation of God, the night had already ended and the next day was bright. The thick fog above their heads prevented them from seeing the blue sky or the sun. However, the sunlight still shone through the fog, turning the desert into a scorching heat, filling the air with a dry, salty smell.
Their luck was pretty good. There were no miracles as far as their eyes could see. Fearing that Bohemia couldn't remember, Lin Sanjiu wrote down the necessary information on a piece of paper and passed it to Bohemia.
Bohemia took the note and glanced at it. She did not seem to be interested in it. "... Let me tell you in advance. If my problem is suddenly solved halfway, I will not risk my life to look for Magus. That person's temper is unpredictable. It's not safe. "
Lin Sanjiu sighed, "Got it. It's better than not looking for her."
"Then you go first. I can't let you know where I'm hiding."
"I won't harm you."
"How would I know?!"
Lin Sanjiu couldn't argue with Bohemia, so she walked toward the direction where she lost contact with her grand prize. However, after she took two steps, she heard a voice behind her. "Hey!"
"What now?" Lin Sanjiu turned around. Her temples were throbbing.
Bohemia seemed to be a little nervous. After hesitating for a few times, she finally said, "Since you have saved my life, I will tell you another piece of news. I found out about your whereabouts from a person called 'Bouncing Little Sesame'. Back then, I made a deal with that person. Once I found out that it was indeed you, I would tell her about this information as a form of repayment. "
Lin Sanjiu had a bad feeling about this.
"Didn't I find out that you were in the playground when I brought you into the Salvation of God?" Bohemia seemed a little embarrassed, "Before I went in, I fulfilled my promise with her and sent the message back to her. So, she knows that you're in the Salvation of God … "
