There were many Pocket Dimensions in the Twelve Worlds, and they were all put to good use in different ways. Some were used for sightseeing, some were used for training, and some were used to benefit from the Pocket Dimensions. After the Pocket Dimensions were turned into hunting grounds and tourist attractions, an unwritten rule had gradually formed in the Twelve Worlds. Any posthuman who fought in the Pocket Dimensions would not kill their opponents unless they had a personal vendetta against them.
Lin Sanjiu could not understand why the rule was broken when it was her turn to enter the Reverie Libretto.
"We can't let them catch us now."
Yu Yuan, the young man with tattoos all over his body, crouched down and whispered to Lin Sanjiu, "Judging from Mayor Orlean's way of doing things, I don't think he has any qualms about killing us."
"Is he crazy?" Lin Sanjiu asked in a hushed voice. The two of them hid behind a large dumpster to hide from the cameras outside. "He wants to kill someone just for a dream?"
"I don't think so," Yu Yuan panted, his face as pale as a sheet. On his right cheek was a vivid, ferocious wolf's head, snarling silently at her. "No … I don't think so."
"Why?"
"When he noticed that I was trying to escape, he suddenly pulled out a weapon that looked like a cannon out of thin air. He could have hit me in the back, but he tilted his head and only knocked off one of my arms. " Yu Yuan paused and gestured to Lin Sanjiu, "Look in my pocket. There's a slingshot there."
Their opponent used a machine gun and a cannon, but they used a slingshot.
Lin Sanjiu sighed inwardly. She pulled out a simple slingshot made of twigs. "Maybe I should look in the kid's room," Lin Sanjiu mumbled to herself. Yu Yuan turned around and said, "I didn't find it."
"Huh?"
"I made it myself. I took the rubber band from the mayor's office, "he sneered." No one in this town is allowed to own a slingshot. "
Lin Sanjiu searched around the dumpster and found a pebble. She set up the stone and aimed it at a camera not far away. If they walked out, they would be the first to be spotted by the camera at the entrance of the alley.
With a "dang" sound, the stone hit it squarely, and then bounced off. Lin Sanjiu used quite a bit of strength, but aside from a few cracks on the camera, it was still in perfect condition.
The two of them looked at each other and tried again. Not only did they fail to break it, but they also attracted the attention of a shadow from a window upstairs. They quickly retreated into the shadow behind the dustbin. Yu Yuan couldn't help but grumble, "So sturdy?"
In fact, no matter how sturdy the camera was, it would not be able to stop them from smashing it. However, they could not show their faces at all. Who knew how many police officers in black and blue uniforms were running in groups from outside the alley, accompanied by the clatter of guns, belts, and boots.
"This is great." Yu Yuan leaned against the wall and cursed in a low voice, "Like a turtle in a jar."
Lin Sanjiu bit her lip. Just when she was feeling anxious, she heard Mrs. Manas calling her in her mind. "Ask him to wait patiently for a while," she instructed, "I think … there might be a turn for the better."
'Turn for the better? '
Even though Lin Sanjiu was full of doubts, she repeated what Mrs. Manas said. Even Yu Yuan was puzzled by the tattoo on his face. He frowned. Just when he was about to ask a question, they heard a series of footsteps coming from the entrance of the alley.
Startled, the two of them quickly shrunk their bodies. Peering through the gap between the dustbin and the wall, they saw two figures in black and blue holding guns walking toward the depths of the alley. It seemed like they were never alone. Every time they went out, they would be in groups of at least two.
Could it be that they had to check every street and alley one by one?
Just when the thought crossed Lin Sanjiu's mind, the two police officers suddenly stopped.
"I think this should be enough," the taller police officer said. Even though they could be considered plump, their physiques were much more normal than the townspeople.
"Oh." The other police officer, who was one size smaller than the taller police officer, responded. He put down his gun and leaned it against the wall. "You're not going to pee?"
Lin Sanjiu felt Yu Yuan move a little. Obviously, he was as nervous as she was. Both of their gazes were focused on the gun at the same time.
"I didn't drink much water," the taller police officer said in a low voice. His attitude was very cold, "If you want to pee, hurry up. Don't delay me from completing my mission."
"You think I don't know that the mission is more important? Even the captain has approved it. Jia De, why are you pretending to be active when there's no one around? "the shorter police officer retorted.
The taller police officer glared at him. His thin lips were pursed so tightly that they almost disappeared from his face.
It was as if they were filled with a belly full of resentment, and it wasn't only toward their colleagues. The short man seemed to have won a battle. He looked left and right, and deliberately walked a few steps to the window of a house. As he peered into the window, he unzipped his pants.
"Is this the turn for the better that Mrs. Manas mentioned?"
Lin Sanjiu and Yu Yuan looked at each other and nodded. They had reached a tacit understanding in that instant. When the taller police officer turned around without saying anything, both of them jumped out from behind the dumpster at the same time.
Yu Yuan kicked the shorter police officer's butt, sending him crashing into the wall just as he was about to pee. Lin Sanjiu dashed past the two men and grabbed the rifle from the ground. The tall man had already turned around. He quickly raised the rifle and fired a bullet at Lin Sanjiu. "Bang!" Lin Sanjiu screamed in pain as she dashed past the two men and grabbed the rifle from the ground.
Lin Sanjiu was already prepared. She rolled on the ground and placed her finger on the trigger. In his panic, his aim was bad, and the bullet grazed past her head. She fired at the tall man as the bullet pierced the opposite wall, and a black and red hole appeared on his broad forehead, and the smoke rose slowly from it.
"You —"
The short man screamed, but he was cut off by the sound of a gunshot. His eyes were still wide open, and his pants were still unzipped. His body fell heavily to the ground.
The thud when the two police officers fell to the ground seemed to have become a signal, and a commotion broke out in the residential building. When the two of them raised their heads, they realized that behind the windows, there were many huge faces stuck to them.
"They will report us soon. We have to leave now." Lin Sanjiu rushed to the police officers' corpses, trying to find a replacement bullet. As she spoke, the sound of footsteps and shouts came from the street outside. Yu Yuan, who was holding the taller police officer's gun in his right arm, stood beside her and stared at the entrance of the alleyway.
When the first dark blue figure appeared in the alley, he raised his gun and took down the town police officer with a bang. Lin Sanjiu found a few bullets and hung them around her neck. She jumped up and said, "Alright, let's go!"
The gun that they had snatched was as long as a rifle, and it was perfect for smashing the surveillance cameras. The two of them were not familiar with the terrain of Peanut Town, so they had no idea where they should go. They could only smash the surveillance cameras as they ran toward a secluded area. The sea of dark blue quickly caught up with them and flooded every street like a flood. After running for five to six minutes, the two of them realized that they were blocked from both the front and the back.
A huge, dark, monstrous mountain stood behind the buildings; it grew taller and larger, and at first glance it looked like a parasite that was gradually devouring the surface. Under the shadow it cast, the town police officers on both ends of the street quickly gathered together, like a restless ocean.
"They are here!" Shouts and whistles rose and fell from both ends of the street. "Get in formation! Get in formation! "
Lin Sanjiu and Lin Sanjiu looked at each other and ordered, "Get in the building!"
There were no locks in the residential buildings of Peanut Town, so they could open the door easily. After they rushed into the building, Yu Yuan scanned his surroundings and rushed toward the corridor on the right. "We can bypass the police officers if we climb out of that building!"
Following closely behind him, Lin Sanjiu heard a woman screaming in fear. In the cramped living room, the plump woman was carrying a ten-year-old child in her arms. Her posture was a little unnatural. When Lin Sanjiu focused her gaze, she realized that the woman was holding the child's arms and pushing him in front of her. Rather than saying that she was carrying the child, it was more like she was using the child's body to shield herself.
Without saying a word, Yu Yuan pulled the trigger, and the woman's scream came to an abrupt end. Blood splattered from the back of her head.
Lin Sanjiu shifted her gaze away from the woman's dead body and walked through the living room calmly. She strode toward the kitchen window.
"By the way, how did you know that there was a turning point?" The tattooed man stuck his body out of the half-open window and followed behind her.
When Lin Sanjiu heard this question, Mrs. Manas immediately gave an answer.
"It's because of [No Coincidence, No Story]. It's true that all evolved abilities are based on the physical body, and they only exist in the physical body. However, when you asked me if I had any solution, I thought about it carefully. The effect of [No Coincidence, No Story] is to facilitate coincidences … So, does a coincidence in a dream count? "
She sighed as if she still had a lingering fear in her heart. "To be honest, I'm not so sure that it will work. No, it should be said that even now, I'm not sure if it's the one that did it. "
"Because of your ability …"
After Lin Sanjiu explained the situation to him, Yu Yuan climbed into the alley through the window with her help. Since he had lost his right arm, it was hard for him to maintain his balance. As soon as he landed on the ground, he glanced at his right shoulder, and his expression turned gloomy.
"We can't keep running like this," Yu Yuan said as he looked up. He took a few steps back and said softly, "I didn't finish my sentence just now. With the power provided by that black mountain, Orlean can summon the wind and summon the rain, but he still can't kill us. "
"Why?"
"Because he needs both of our Reverie Libretto to figure out his plot line," Yu Yuan suddenly smiled. The wolf head on the left side of his face seemed to have come alive. Before Lin Sanjiu could react, he had already fired a few shots and smashed a few heads behind the windows. Blood and broken glass splattered into the air. Screams rang out from the residential building. "If we die, he doesn't know what will happen to his dream."
Compared to the lives behind the windows, Lin Sanjiu was more concerned about the bullets. "I see," Lin Sanjiu said as she smashed every camera in her sight. "You should save your bullets."
"If we don't scare them away, they will definitely keep an eye on us and report us to the police."
"You're right," Lin Sanjiu sighed. "I really don't know why I would dream of such a town."
Yu Yuan glanced at her, "Reverie Libretto is different from a normal dream. What you think about during the day doesn't necessarily mean that you will dream about it at night. Instead of thinking about this, why don't we think about our next step? "
