Just when the old man uttered a "Eh?", Lin Sanjiu had already retracted her hand at lightning speed. She was holding a dirty hotel towel.
"Whose is this?"
The old man gulped when Lin Sanjiu stared at him. "Isn't this yours? Didn't you give me a towel? "
"This is mine," Lin Sanjiu gestured to the box, "Who gave you this? Is there anyone else in this pocket dimension? "
"No," the old man replied quickly, "I arranged the items in chronological order … Let me see." He lowered his head and rummaged through the box for a while. Then, he seemed to have remembered something. He said with a guarded tone, "If I tell you, you can't take it away."
"Say it!"
"If I remember correctly … there was a girl earlier. She came and left earlier than you. She had been gone for a day or two. "
"What did she look like?"
"She has long hair and a fair face. She looks just like a young girl —" When the old man said this, he looked at Lin Sanjiu's face and immediately stopped himself from continuing. "That's right.
"Where?" Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. "When she walked in, where was this pocket dimension?"
"Eh, she didn't walk in." The old man waved his hand. He wanted to grab the towel, but Lin Sanjiu dodged his hand. He retracted his hand sheepishly and said, "When I saw her, she was being chased by a few duoluozhongs. The nearest duoluozhongs was almost clawing at her back. I don't know if the girl has been running for a long time. She was staggering as she ran. It was as if she was going to fall at any moment. It was heart-wrenching. When she saw me, her face lit up. She rushed in and asked me, 'Is this a pocket dimension?' Before I could reply, she shouted, 'Let me in!'. Is she your friend? "
The old man was a little sly. He assured Lin Sanjiu, "You can say that I saved her life. You can't take this towel away. "
After talking for so long, he was still worried about the towel. Lin Sanjiu did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Tell me where you saw her and where she went. Then, I will return the towel to you."
"It's also in the desert. Come to think of it, it's not far from where you came in." The old man thought about it and looked outside the instance dungeon a few more times. Then, he raised his hand and pointed in a direction. "It's probably in that direction … I'm not sure about the exact location. When she ended the game, she stepped into a puddle as soon as she came out. I remember this very clearly. I think even if she didn't leave the desert, she must be at the edge of the desert. "
Lin Sanjiu looked in the direction he was pointing at, and her eyes landed on the vague patch of forest.
In a day or two, he probably wouldn't be able to go far.
Lin Sanjiu made up her mind and threw the towel back into the box. The old man quickly closed the lid of the box as if he didn't want to open it anymore.
After she said that, she turned around and looked at the potato brothers on the ground. Her Potential Growth Value seemed to have increased a lot. Even after the old man nagged at them, they were still lying on the ground. Other than moving their eyeballs, they couldn't move a single muscle. Lin Sanjiu picked up the rope and squatted down. She wanted to tie them up.
The moment she squatted down, the ground shook.
Lin Sanjiu was startled. She turned her head abruptly. Just as she turned her head, the ground shook again. It was only a blink of an eye, but this time, the tremor was much stronger than the previous one. It was as if the source of the tremor was approaching them in an instant.
To put it more accurately, it was the source of the shaking.
The forest that she had just seen had completely disappeared from her sight. In its place was a group of silent Gods who were striding toward her. These Gods were of different sizes. At first glance, Lin Sanjiu could only see a huge body part that was pale and bloodless. Two legs dangled from the sky, and the part above their crotch was shrouded in white mist. As they walked, they stirred up the mist. Behind them were Gods with their heads in the sky, Gods with only one leg, and Gods without heads … Behind this dense group of Gods, there were even more Gods who had just stretched their limbs out of the white mist and landed heavily on the ground.
Compared to this group of Gods, the group of smaller Gods who had formed an alliance to fight against Puella seemed like a joke. However, there was no enemy like Puella in front of these Gods.
They just strode straight toward the Pocket Dimension.
In the blink of an eye, the nearest God had already stomped his foot into the sand. Lin Sanjiu could see the yellow dust that he stirred up. The sand that rained down on her was so strong that it made her skin tingle with pain.
Lin Sanjiu didn't have the time to tie up the Potato brothers, but she wasn't willing to let them go. She jumped up and yelled at the old man behind her, "Quick, let us enter the Pocket Dimension —"
Before she could finish her sentence, she froze.
The Pocket Dimension was nowhere to be seen in the roaring yellow sand.
"Damn it!" Lin Sanjiu cursed. She knew she was running out of time. She quickly turned her head and saw that the nearest God was only a few thousand meters away from her. It was a God that was as tall as a hundred-story building. It might be considered small in this world, but it was only a few steps away from Lin Sanjiu.
When she lowered her head again, Lin Sanjiu saw the faces of the Potato brothers.
There wasn't a trace of panic on their faces. Of course, they probably couldn't move their facial muscles to show any expression. They stared at Lin Sanjiu without blinking, as if they were waiting for her to run away. It was at this moment that Lin Sanjiu shivered and yelled, "You called me here!"
The Potato brothers didn't answer. They couldn't answer her. They continued to stare at her.
Lin Sanjiu gritted her teeth. She didn't run away. Instead, she bent down and placed her left hand on the younger brother's body. Then, she activated [A Twinkle in the Sky].
The younger brother's body was immediately uprooted from the ground, still maintaining a perfectly straight and motionless appearance. He was thrown far away into the horizon, and with a ding, he became a shining dot of light. Almost at the same time, the group of Gods that were approaching Lin Sanjiu suddenly stopped and slowed down. A few of the smaller Gods whose faces could be seen even looked in the direction where the younger brother flew.
