Lin Sanjiu felt that she was such an idiot.
She was not the only one who felt that way. Puppeteer and Soulsqn were also on her list of "idiots that I don't know why I'm so stupid".
The reason why the thought kept popping up in her mind was because of Ji Shanqing's question.
"Sis," Ji Shanqing said cautiously, as if he still couldn't figure out why they did not think of this. "Why don't you just use the collar to give yourself the ability to write data?"
When the grand prize said that, the rest of them gaped at him. They were all a little dumbfounded.
The group of people who were moving forward in the Void stopped in their tracks.
They had to make use of the time difference to get back to the Data Stream Library before the Veda entered the hall. Even if they managed to get back to the Data Stream Library, they would most likely be caught by the Veda. The idea of hiding in the circular hole was not feasible. The circular hole was only the size of a human head, so they had to blast it open if they wanted to accommodate people. However, once they blasted it open, wouldn't it be the same as telling the Veda where they were?
Faced with this dilemma, the few of them chose the path that seemed to be the least risky. As soon as they landed in the Void, they immediately rushed toward the darkness where there were no light threads. The Veda moved through the light threads, so the further away they were from the light threads, the less likely they were to be discovered!
While the grand prize was running away, he raised this question with a mind full of doubts.
So far, he had almost caught up on all the lessons he needed to catch up on. Therefore, he started to feel a little lost. "Sis, you just need to ask this … this big brother to repeat the Veda's description of their abilities to you, and you'll be able to escape when you were in the convenience store."
Lin Sanjiu closed her mouth in a daze. She glanced at Puppeteer, who was staring at her with a dark expression. She quickly averted her gaze.
'That's right!
How could I not have thought of that? It seems like the mimicry is still not as good as the real person … '
Just as the thought crossed her mind, Soulsqn spoke. She sounded very stubborn, "You don't understand! It was … It was an emergency … "Soulsqn stopped halfway through her sentence. Apparently, she realized that her grand prize's words could not be refuted. She tilted her head and thought for a while. Then, she suddenly turned to Lin Sanjiu and said," I wasn't there. If I was, I would have thought of this solution. "
"When you were here, I didn't hear you mention it."
Soulsqn turned her head and was about to say something when she realized that it was Puppeteer who was talking to her.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help sighing inwardly when she thought about how she had spared the flesh worm's life so that it could distract Puppeteer. She shook her head and sped up again. She said in a low voice, "We … At that time, we didn't understand the situation before we were attacked. We were flustered and overwhelmed. We didn't think about this at all. What should he do now? There are at least 20 hours before my collar cools down. "
The grand prize furrowed his brows as he stared at the endless darkness in front of him. A few strands of light floated at the edge of his field of vision. They were faintly discernible and looked as if they would disappear in the blink of an eye. Behind them was the same dark universe, but it was divided into countless small pieces by the layers of light threads.
"If only we had a Special Item like the [Environmental Camouflage]. We could hide in disguise for a while," Ji Shanqing sighed unwillingly after he thought for a while. He glanced at Soulsqn, but the latter shook her head. "Don't look at me. I don't have anything!"
"I have a few items with similar functions, but they have all been deciphered," Puppeteer said flatly. His cheeks quivered. When he was talking to the grand prize, he had to exert a lot of effort to suppress his irritation and murderous intent. However, his efforts were not very successful. Even Soulsqn could tell that he hated Ji Shanqing very much.
Ji Shanqing paused and averted his eyes.
Even though he knew that it was useless, he couldn't help avoiding Puppeteer's gaze whenever he was in the presence of Puppeteer. As a result, one of them was inexplicably irritable, and the other was inexplicably guilty.
Lin Sanjiu heaved a sigh of relief. She felt slightly relieved. With her sharp intuition, she had already figured out the reason why Puppeteer was getting more and more irritable. He probably thought that the grand prize looked familiar because he looked like Yun.
"What should we do now?" Seeing that the three of them had sunk into a strange silence, Soulsqn was the only one who could raise the question.
She still did not realize that there was no need for her to run. She had already put on the shell made by the Veda. All she needed to do was to fall to the ground and hide. However, Ji Shanqing did not intend to tell her that. After thinking for a while, he said, "There's no other way. We can only go deeper and buy time as we go. Those Veda will definitely go in the direction of the hall. We still have some time before they realize that we are missing and start a large-scale search. Let's run as far as we can. "
This was tantamount to leaving their fate in the hands of God.
Since they had already accepted God's will, they might as well do their best. As if he was trying to get rid of Ki, Puppeteer cast four Special Items on them to confuse the enemies and disguise themselves. He had four Special Items for one purpose. It was hard to imagine how many Special Items he had. The group of people evaded the light strands along the way. The deeper they went, the darker it got. However, the void seemed to be endless. There was no end in sight.
The number of light strands gradually thinned until they were almost non-existent. They had to walk for a long time before they saw a strand of light strands hanging in the darkness.
Amidst the boundless void, the few of them had lost their sense of time. When they could no longer see the light threads in front of them, they finally stopped. It seemed like they had made good use of the time difference to shake off the Veda.
"This place is so strange," the grand prize murmured. "It's as boundless as the universe … Sis, when you told me it was called the Data Stream Library, I thought it wouldn't be that big."
"I didn't expect it to be so big," Lin Sanjiu said as she looked around. As Lin Sanjiu spoke, she looked around, but there was only darkness in front of her.
Although they were still on tenterhooks, it was the first time in the past few days that they could breathe a sigh of relief. Puppeteer closed his eyes and floated quietly in the darkness. He looked lifeless. Soulsqn was a restless person. She kept pacing around, but she did not dare to stray too far away. Lin Sanjiu and the grand prize purposely stayed a little further away from the necklace. They whispered to each other while waiting for the necklace to cool down.
As they were afraid that Puppeteer would overhear them, they did not dare to talk about what happened to the grand prize on the surface, much less the grand prize's background. Soon, they only talked about the Veda.
As they chatted, Lin Sanjiu told them about the few face-to-face conversations she had with the Veda. The grand prize suddenly froze. He lowered his head and did not speak for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help asking.
When the grand prize raised his head again, his brows were tightly furrowed.
"We might have overlooked something … Let me think about it first. Based on what you said, "the grand prize analyzed in a low voice," they can project their light strands in any direction and as long as they want, right? The Veda can only teleport when they are inside the light strands. Outside the light strands, they have to walk slowly like we do, right? "
"That should be the case," Lin Sanjiu nodded.
"If this is their own world, why would they need to create a tunnel like the light strands?" Ji Shanqing mumbled to himself. Then, he shook his head. "No, this is not the right way to think … Let me think …"
A few seconds later, Ji Shanqing raised his head abruptly, and his face turned pale.
"What … What's wrong?" Lin Sanjiu was startled.
"Come here!" The grand prize did not respond. Instead, he shouted at the person and the insect in the distance. However, as soon as he said those three words, he changed his mind. He was so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. "No! No! Don't come here! Everyone, spread out! Let's go as far as we can! "
"What's wrong? What did you think of?"
"Light strands!" The grand prize shouted anxiously. Seeing that Puppeteer and Soulsqn were coming toward him, he quickly ran away while waving his hands. "Go! Go! I'm afraid the light strands are coming! "
"How do you know?" Puppeteer's face twitched as he asked in a low voice. Lin Sanjiu had complete trust in her grand prize. She immediately grabbed the back of Soulsqn's neck and tossed it far into the air. Then, she dashed into the distance as well. The three humans and one insect quickly spread out. Even though they were heading in the same direction, there was a long distance between them. The grand prize had to shout every word loudly so that the others could vaguely hear what he said.
"I just thought of it," he said anxiously as he ran, "It's just a matter of time before the Veda realizes that we have re-entered the Data Stream Library! If that happens, they will definitely come back to search for us, right? "
"Get to the point!" Puppeteer shouted from afar.
"The Veda doesn't have the advantage of speed here, but this place is as big as a whole universe. Without the light strands, it will be very difficult for them to catch us! If I were the Veda, I would — "
Things in this world were always so coincidental.
Before Sven could finish his sentence, the "people" had already arrived, and before the grand prize could finish his sentence, the light strands had arrived as well.
The moment Lin Sanjiu saw the light strands, she immediately understood what the grand prize was going to say next.
It was very simple. It was as if you were standing in a room with a dowsing rod in your hand and wanted to find something in the room. Assuming that the probe rod could be extended infinitely, any rational person would only do one thing, and that was to swing the rod through the air.
However, in the current situation, the dowsing rod had turned into light strands, and there was more than one of them. Almost in an instant, the three of them were swept back and forth by a few white light strands. The thin light strands condensed into a thick pillar of light that illuminated half of the void.
"Everyone, be careful!"
Lin Sanjiu yelled. Ignoring the grand prize's words, she ducked and dodged a light strand that swept past her. Then, she sprinted toward him. No matter what, she could not allow the grand prize to catch her!
"Sis, where's your collar?" Ji Shanqing was not as agile as Lin Sanjiu, so he was almost hit by the light strands a few times. These light strands were too thick. Sometimes, there were two strands of light, one above the other, one below the other, and the other from the left and right. Sometimes, there were only a few dozen centimeters of space left for them to dodge.
"No, it's not time yet!" Lin Sanjiu yelled, her voice almost tearing.
The few of them dodged the scanning light strands as they dashed forward. However, none of them held any hope.
No one could escape from such a dense scanning. No matter how skilled they were, it was only a matter of time before they were hit.
Lin Sanjiu did not expect that their struggles and resistance were all for naught.
At this moment, she looked up and saw something familiar in the white light. For a moment, she almost thought that she was seeing things. When she regained her composure, her heart began to race.
"Get into the metal wall!" She yelled in the white light, but she could no longer see the other two people and the insect. She had no idea whether they could hear her or not. "I'll blast open the entrance. You guys go in!"
