Lin Sanjiu turned the pedals into a card and stored them into her body. Then, she gripped the pillar tightly with both of her hands. The pain from her fingertips to the muscles of her chest was getting more and more intense as she fought against the strong suction force. As the artist added a few strokes to the canvas, the suction force became stronger and stronger. In just five to six seconds, Lin Sanjiu felt her strength draining away.
If this continued, she would definitely be sucked into the painting.
Lin Sanjiu calmed her racing heart. For a moment, she had no idea what to do. She recalled all the Special Items and abilities she had, but none of them could help her. Just when she was getting more and more anxious, she looked behind her and saw the artist standing under another pillar.
The guests and the other artists kept their distance from the two of them. Even though they were surprised, they still looked normal. It was as if they had just seen someone quarreling. Lin Sanjiu wondered how this situation would be explained in the story. Lin Sanjiu squinted her eyes and took another look at the wind caused by the suction force. Then, she gritted her teeth, pulled out her wings and released her hands.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Sanjiu and her skeletal wings flew backward like a withered leaf. In the blink of an eye, Lin Sanjiu's body had already touched the edge of the painting. The painter stared at her intently, and a hint of a smile finally appeared on his face.
However, in the next second, the smile froze on his face along with Lin Sanjiu's body.
Lin Sanjiu's wings brushed past the pillar and created a trail of sparks. Finally, she managed to grab the pillar by a hair's breadth and embedded herself deep into the surface of the pillar. Even though her body was still floating in the air, Lin Sanjiu heaved a sigh of relief with the help of her wings. She was drenched in cold sweat, and her heart almost leaped out of her chest.
"It's my turn now, right?" she said softly. Then, she kicked the easel.
Lin Sanjiu dodged the canvas. Just as her toes were about to touch the easel, the entire easel fell forward. Before the canvas could touch her leg, Lin Sanjiu quickly pulled her leg back. She curled her abdominal muscles and bent forward. Then, she stretched her arm and slapped the easel.
Nothing happened.
Her [Planar World] was not activated at all, and nothing was turned into a card. Just as the easel was about to fall to the ground, the painter at the side quickly grabbed it. Then, the suction force came back again.
Lin Sanjiu was dumbfounded.
After the last upgrade of the [Planar World], the upper limit of the object it could convert had increased to one and a half tons. Other than that, living creatures could not be converted into cards. However, this easel was not one of them. She could not figure out why her ability would fail.
When Lin Sanjiu saw that the artist was about to retreat with the things in his arms, she immediately became anxious. She tossed her doubts to the back of her mind, twisted her body, and threw a heavy kick at him. Now that she was tall and had long legs, there was no doubt that her kick would knock the artist to the ground. However, just as the tip of her foot was about to touch the top of his head, Lin Sanjiu's thigh muscles constricted. She was so nervous that she felt as if she was about to cramp, so she pulled her leg back.
She took a deep breath and narrowed her eyes. Then, she pulled her wings out from the pillar.
Lin Sanjiu's body shot forward like an arrow. A second before she was about to be sucked into the painting, Lin Sanjiu's hand struck the artist's chest with a smack.
The air moved, and both the artist and the painting disappeared. Lin Sanjiu fell to the ground with a loud thud. There was a card in her hand: [Unfinished Painting].
If it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't feel the man's body temperature in her hypersensory state, she might not have realized that the artist was not a living person.
From the beginning to the end, it was not the painting that was the Special Item, but the person who painted it.
No wonder Hei Zeji said that she was blind.
When he stood up from the ground again, the broadcast also sounded at the same time.
"The conflict between Gabriel and Joseph has attracted the attention of many guests. As one of Queen Margalo's lovers, Joseph has always been willing to stand up for the queen …"
Following the announcement, Lin Sanjiu looked up and found the baron called Joseph. It seemed that he was the one who brought the few artists here. So, he was one of Queen Margalo's men.
Separated by layers of guests, Marguerite's expression returned to being as cold and indifferent as if she had been sealed in ice. However, this did not diminish her beauty in the slightest. Lin Sanjiu looked at the woman's blue and cold eyes for a few seconds and made a decision.
"Time Travel" only stated that players had to survive until the end of the game, but it never stated that she couldn't kill anyone.
Although she had dodged the attack just now, no one knew what the next attack would be, when it would come, or if she could dodge it again. Instead of waiting for others to attack her, it was better to strike first and gain the upper hand.
Lin Sanjiu called out the pedals. One minute before she left the pedals, she stood back on the track.
Her action seemed to be a signal for everyone to let down their guard. Queen Marguerite glanced at her and slowly turned her head. It was no wonder. There was a long distance between the track and the throne. As long as "Gabriel" stayed on the pedals, she wouldn't be able to get close to Queen Marguerite.
Of course, Lin Sanjiu didn't intend to follow the rules.
When she was brought into a story setting, and the scene had not yet been completed and she could not leave for the time being, she could step on the board and move around freely in a small area. While Lin Sanjiu observed Marguerite's every move, she slid the pedals to the end of the track, the place closest to the throne.
Even though it was "closest", there was still a distance of a few hundred meters between them.
Queen Marguerite, who had a swan-like posture, looked even more graceful and delicate when she got closer. She had a slender body, and her blonde hair was tied into an intricate bun at the back of her head. When Lin Sanjiu stopped, she turned her head and said something to the servant beside her. As she moved, the jewels sparkled under the candlelight, making her look like a statue carved out of pure diamond.
Even though the other party was beautiful, Lin Sanjiu couldn't bring herself to sympathize with her.
In fact, the weaker Queen Marguerite was, the better. As Lin Sanjiu was worried that she had more Special Items and so-called "secret skills", she decided to end her life by force.
Before Marguerite could finish her words to the servant, Lin Sanjiu had already made her move.
Lin Sanjiu, who had been hiding in the crowd for some time, was prepared for this attack.
Lin Sanjiu's upper body was shrouded in the [Defense Forcefield], and her skeletal wings were fully extended. With a push of her feet, she pounced at Queen Marguerite at her fastest speed. Her body was so fast that it became a blur in the air.
If this was a reenactment of a French historical story, the characters in the story shouldn't have any combat ability. Just in case, Lin Sanjiu opened her mouth when she was about to touch the edge of Queen Marguerite's skirt.
Before Lin Sanjiu could say, "Have you heard of the No. 300 bus?", Marguerite turned her head slightly. In the next second, Lin Sanjiu didn't even know what happened. She was sent flying by a sudden force.
At the moment when she hit the ceiling, she finally saw the faint small vortex in front of Queen Marguerite.
Her hypersensory state did not allow her to catch a single trace. The air surrounding her was still the same as before. However, Queen Marguerite merely stretched out her fair hand, and the air current was caught in her hand like soft mud. She easily stirred up a whirlpool of rapid movement.

The whirlpool wasn't big, but all of Lin Sanjiu's force was diluted by the whirlpool. When the whirlpool turned back, Lin Sanjiu's own force and Queen Margaret's powerful force struck her in the chest.
Even with the [Defense Forcefield], Lin Sanjiu could still hear the cracking sound of her ribs. In an instant, her internal organs felt like they were about to explode. Her blood flowed back to her brain, and her face turned red.
Lin Sanjiu lost control of her body and fell to the ground. She didn't expect that she couldn't even block Queen Marguerite's attack.
When Marguerite stood up from her seat and walked toward Lin Sanjiu, the best Lin Sanjiu could do was to prop herself up from the ground.
"Enough!"
King Henry's angry roar stopped Queen Marguerite in her tracks.
"What kind of dispute do you have? Do you have to make it so ugly?" King Henry's voice was full of anger, but it was obvious that his accusation was directed at his wife. He strode toward "Gabriel" and said while suppressing his anger, "Come with me."
Apparently, in the story, the queen and Gabriel only had a quarrel.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't even stand up right now. When she heard the announcement that she had left the pedal for 27 seconds, she clutched her stomach and crawled back to the metal board.
As soon as he sat on it, the iron plate immediately followed behind King Henry along the track that was laid out on the ground.
Blood dripped from the corner of Queen Marguerite's mouth through the hole in the metal board, leaving a long trail behind her. Queen Marguerite chased after King Henry for two steps, but for some reason, she stopped and walked back to the hall.
"Seems like I'm safe."
