Lin Sanjiu was in so much pain that her face turned pale. Her back was soaked in cold sweat, and it clung to her back. Another wave of tentacles floated in front of her. It was so dense that it sent chills down her spine. However, Lin Sanjiu gritted her teeth and forced herself not to move away.
When the tentacles of the jellyfish were right in front of her, they stopped. Puppeteer's cold voice rang out, "Why aren't you running?"
"Those Veda have analyzed the pocket dimension and made a copy of it. I know you don't believe me, but no matter what, it's unwise for us to fight each other now," Lin Sanjiu hissed. She hoped that Puppeteer could figure out who the real enemy was. "We know too little about them. We can't give them a chance to attack us!"
With a snap of his fingers, the jellyfish in the air disappeared. The dark figure stood in front of the cashier and did not say anything.
Lin Sanjiu heaved a sigh of relief. Just when she was about to say something, her vision blurred, and she found Puppeteer standing in front of her. When she was so close to him, she felt like she was being stared at by some kind of inhuman beast. His skin was abnormally pale under the black leather, and his eyes, which were covered in silver-gray glitter powder, looked even more gloomy.
"If these so-called Veda don't show up after this dungeon is over," Puppeteer said softly, accompanied by a faint, unnatural scent of perfume, "you will regret it."
Whether she would regret it or not was a matter for the future. No matter what, she had to overcome this obstacle first. Gasping for air, Lin Sanjiu told Puppeteer everything about how she met the Potato brothers and what they did in the pocket dimension. Fortunately, Puppeteer had seen the other half of the man on her back, so Lin Sanjiu managed to gain some trust from him.
What surprised Lin Sanjiu was that even after she finished speaking, the convenience store remained silent. There was nothing out of the ordinary.
Both of them looked at each other. Both of them were confused about the direction of this pocket dimension. When Puppeteer raised his chin at her, Lin Sanjiu sighed and walked to the cashier.
"Is anyone there?" She called out. She looked left and right but was careful not to touch anything. "I'm here to buy something."
An Indian-accented loudspeaker asked from the wall behind the cash register, "Mrs. Cleveland, what can I do for you?"
"Hmm …" Lin Sanjiu pointed at a pack of chewing gum, "This is good. How much is it?"
Just as she finished her sentence, a deafening sound wave blasted out from the speaker. It was so loud that Lin Sanjiu felt dizzy and her mind went numb. "Wrong answer! Wrong answer! "
What the hell?
The soundwave was so strong that Lin Sanjiu felt as if she had been slapped in the face a few times. She did not expect the soundwave to get louder and louder. "Mrs. Cleveland, I am so disappointed in you!" Then, she suddenly heard the sound of glass shattering. She looked back and found that the nearest freezer door had been shattered, and glass shards were scattered all over the floor.
Is it such a big sin to buy chewing gum?
When the soundwave finally subsided, both of them waited for a while, but there was no more sound coming from the speaker. Judging from the few words that the speaker said, other than "Lin Sanjiu can't buy chewing gum", there was no other information.
"This is a little strange." Puppeteer walked out from behind her and said softly, "Usually, the rules of the Pocket Dimension should be explained clearly at the beginning of the Pocket Dimension."
"Yeah, they should at least tell us what goal they have to achieve before they can leave the Pocket Dimension. But they didn't tell us anything." Lin Sanjiu found that she had fallen to the ground. She stood up and rubbed her ears, which were buzzing with pain.
"Who are you calling 'us'?" Puppeteer frowned.
"Let me guess. Since they have the data of this Pocket Dimension," Lin Sanjiu ignored him and continued, "Is it possible that they deleted the part about the rules of the Pocket Dimension?"
Puppeteer snorted, but he did not say anything.
"If that's the case, it's going to be troublesome …" Lin Sanjiu sighed. In other words, both of them had to find out the rules of the Pocket Dimension bit by bit, at the cost of their own lives. Needless to say, Puppeteer would definitely push her to the front.
Hoping that she might be lucky, she raised her voice and asked a few questions about what she should buy and what would happen if she bought the wrong thing. However, just as she feared, no sound came from the speaker.
"They want to get our insider information, so they trapped us in the Pocket Dimension," Puppeteer said. Lin Sanjiu did not dare to use her [Consciousness Mimicry], so she tried her best to analyze the situation on her own. "In other words, if we are unlucky and end up in this Pocket Dimension, it will help them to get information …"
"You might as well not have said anything," Puppeteer interrupted her coldly. Puppeteer interrupted her coldly. "The outcome of a pocket dimension is death or injury. Who doesn't know how to avoid this kind of situation? Cut the crap. You go over there, and I'll stay here. Let's split up and scout the surroundings. "
He pointed at the few rows of shelves in the shop.
Lin Sanjiu did not have a better idea, so she nodded and walked to one of the shelves in the corner. She heard a cluck behind her. When she turned around, she saw a goose beside Puppeteer's feet.
[Goose of Grave Robbers]
It was said that when a tomb was first opened, the grave robbers would first tie up a goose and a duck with a rope and place them inside the tomb to see if there was any poisonous gas inside. This goose was very experienced in scouting. After the government cracked down on grave robbers, it was hired by the government to scout other places with a high salary.
"Why do you still want me to go with this goose?" Lin Sanjiu's eyes widened.
"You are a supplement to this goose." Puppeteer glanced at her. The goose waddled into the space between the shelves.
'Too bad I don't have such a convenient tool with me … '
Lin Sanjiu sighed inwardly, but she did not want to summon her weapon. The less she used her ability, the less information the Veda would get. She looked around and grabbed a metal basket. As Puppeteer hissed at her, she walked into the aisle between the shelves.
When she looked up, she was stunned.
After she entered, the aisle was no longer the same. The shelves rose straight into the air like two rows of high cliffs. The top of the aisle was hidden in the darkness, making Lin Sanjiu, who was 1.8 meters tall, look like a child.
Regardless of whether he looked forward or turned around, he couldn't see the end of the passageway in front of him or behind him. She had no idea where the dim light came from, but it could not illuminate the distance. The aisle stretched far into the distance and melted into a ball of darkness.
The packaging of the millions of products on the shelves had faded and was covered in dust. At a glance, it was all gray. Tiny particles floated in the air and were caught by the thick cobwebs in the corners of the aisle, turning into layers of dirty dust.
Lin Sanjiu called out to Puppeteer, but her voice reverberated through the high ceiling. There were a few echoes, but she did not hear any response from him. Lin Sanjiu thought for a moment and gripped the basket tightly. Then, she slowly walked forward.
On this row of shelves, there were all kinds of puffed food neatly arranged. The round smiley faces on the cylinders of chips stretched all the way to the end of the aisle. Even though the packaging was old and faded, Lin Sanjiu could still see the colors that represented different flavors. However, they were all gray and old like old photos.
Lin Sanjiu walked to the end of the first shelf. She cocked her head and listened. The store was silent. Both Puppeteer and the goose had disappeared. She couldn't even detect the slightest fluctuation in the air.
Just when she was about to step into the aisle, something caught her by the collar of her singlet and pulled her back. Startled, Lin Sanjiu quickly turned her head, but there was nothing behind her.
She was bewildered. Her gaze shifted, and then froze. On the aisle in front of her, there was a round smiley face printed on a cylinder of chips. It slowly turned its eyes toward her, raised its mustache, and smiled.
