"What … happened?"
The moment Lin Sanjiu shouted, Silvan had already turned around. He did not raise his head to look at her, but his speed was too fast. When her voice faded away, he had already turned into a shadow and flashed past Lin Sanjiu. "What?" Lin Sanjiu thought to herself.
"Silvan!"
She shouted anxiously. Her voice drifted away in the hollow hollow, but she did not get any response. She pricked up her ears, but she could not hear anything. The strong air current was still rushing toward the canvas in the distance. Amidst the ear-piercing howl of the wind, she could hear the muffled sound of something huge hitting the ground. Amidst the rumbling, Silvan seemed to have disappeared. There was no more sound coming from him.
Lin Sanjiu turned around and froze on the spot. She had almost rushed out with him, but she had stopped herself — though she could not remember why she had done so.
"Mrs. Manas? Do you know what happened? " She asked in her mind, but the situation did not change. She could feel that Mrs. Manas was saying something, but she could not hear a word clearly.
After a few seconds, she suddenly felt that her [No Coincidence, No Story] had been activated.
This was probably the only connection between her and Mrs. Manas.
"Silvan?" she called out again after a moment of hesitation. Her voice was drowned out by the rumbling of the earth's tremors, and there was almost no echo.
He dashed towards the thing behind him, and then there was no more sound. From the looks of it, whatever happened to Silvan, it had something to do with that thing.
"Isn't that … isn't that …"
Lin Sanjiu closed her eyes tightly. When she opened them again, she had a blank look on her face.
"That's strange. What is that thing behind them?"
Lin Sanjiu was very sure that she knew the answer just now, but she had forgotten about it. Everything was drawn on the canvas in the distance, but the thing behind them was not. She looked at the artist. The humanoid Special Item was holding a paintbrush and staring at her blankly. He did not say a word, as if he could not speak.
The answer was right behind her. Lin Sanjiu hesitated for a moment, but she gritted her teeth and turned around.
What entered her field of vision was a dark blue shrouded in shadows. It was trembling along with the earth.
For a moment, Lin Sanjiu realized that this was the container she used to store her red crystals. The container blocked her view, and she still couldn't see the thing behind her.
"Strange, why did I take this container out?"
For some reason, the first thing she saw was not the thing behind her, which made her heave a sigh of relief. However, she could not stop here. She had to follow Silvan and see what was happening behind the container. She had to muster up her courage and force herself to take a step towards the edge of the container.
"Silvan!" She could not help but shout again. Her voice was so loud that her ears were a little numb. "Where are you? Are you all right? Can you hear me? "
The trembling of the earth continued to pour into her ears. She thought for a moment, then turned around and waved at the artist, indicating for him to put away the canvas for a while. The artist blinked his eyes and finally understood what she meant. He hurriedly rolled up the canvas.
The sound of the wind suddenly stopped, and the thing behind the container also stopped struggling. Silence returned to the underground chamber. She stood behind the container and shouted for Silvan a few more times, but she could only hear her own lonely voice echoing in the underground chamber.
There was no other way.
She placed her hand on the container, planning to turn it back into a card. Once she put away the container, both Silvan and the thing behind it would fall into her eyes. No matter what, the thought of "putting it away" finally appeared in her mind smoothly. At least she did not have to fight with herself to take action.
"Huh? Why did I have to fight with myself? "
Lin Sanjiu was puzzled for a moment, and her hand that was on the container paused.
To be honest, she could not remember why she appeared in this underground chamber. "Am I underground? How did I get here with Silvan? "
In this short half a second of confusion, she happened to catch a slight sound. If her movements had been any faster, she might have missed that rustling sound forever. Lin Sanjiu froze for a moment and quickly raised her voice, "Is that you, Silvan?"
"Don't …"
A hoarse and low voice that was almost inaudible echoed in the air. It was no louder than the sound of an insect scurrying, but it was recognizable as a human voice at any rate.
"Don't, don't come out …" That very young and somewhat high-pitched voice said vaguely.
Lin Sanjiu frowned and realized that the person who spoke was not Silvan.
"Who are you?"
"Mi … Meme."
"Who is Meme?" She tilted her head in the shadow behind the container. "Do I know you?"
"You … You forgot?" After a moment of silence, the boy's voice started to tremble. "Have you forgotten everything? Is … Is Sir … Sir …? "
"Sir, are you talking about Silvan?" Lin Sanjiu realized that she had forgotten a lot of things, but fortunately, her mind was still clear. "So, are you a member of the Munitions Factory?"
The rustling sound came from outside again, and it was getting closer and closer to her. Lin Sanjiu raised her guard. She gripped the [Tornado Whip] card tightly in one hand.
"I am." The boy's voice came from behind the container. "There's no … There's no time. You … You have to believe me …"
There's no time?
Lin Sanjiu felt like she was a newbie who had just arrived in this world. She couldn't understand anything. Just when she was feeling puzzled, a pair of dirty hands slowly emerged from behind the box, making a rustling sound.
The boy was ugly to begin with, and he had been crawling on the ground with his two forearms. At this moment, his entire body was covered in mud and mucus, making him look even more miserable. When Lin Sanjiu saw him, she instantly felt that he looked very familiar. She squatted down and tried to help the boy up. "Meme? What happened to you? "
"I … I was wrapped in those things, and I fell from above …" His face was pale, and even his breathing was weak. "I think I broke my waist … If I hadn't heard you calling my name, I might have completely fainted … But my legs are probably crippled."
Lin Sanjiu looked up at the high ceiling of the underground chamber. She vaguely remembered something, but the thought was gone in a flash.
"There's no time to talk about me." Meme grabbed her wrist. His tone and breathing became hurried. "You have to save Sir!"
"What happened to Silvan?"
"When he saw the brain, he suddenly stopped moving." The boy panted heavily as if he was suffering from severe pain. "I don't know what kind of force is pulling the brain … It kept struggling … If I didn't happen to be hiding in a ditch on the ground, I would have been squashed to death by it. But just now, the wind stopped, and so did the brain. Now, Sir … "
He coughed a few times, and his face was pale. "Sir is only a few hundred meters away from it. I don't know what the brain will do to him when it slows down. Hurry up and bring him back!"
Lin Sanjiu looked at him blankly. She realized that she had forgotten the same word three to four times during the short conversation. It was the word "brain". Every time Meme mentioned the word, she would remember it all of a sudden, but once the word ended, she would forget about it.
No matter what happened to the brain, it was obvious that her memory of it was severely affected.
"I can't remember," she said in a hurry. "Once you finished, I forgot what you said. I only remember that there was something behind … You want me to save Silvan, right? Then, should I just rush out like this? "
Meme was stunned.
"Didn't I say it just now?" he said hurriedly. Due to the difficulty in his breathing, he almost couldn't hear the last few words. "I know. How about this, I have an idea! Do you have a towel and something to record? "
Coincidentally, Lin Sanjiu had both.
She had to erase some of the ability descriptions on the tape to make enough space for her to record one sentence at a time into the [Voice Recorder]. Meme quickly covered her eyes with the towel and grabbed the [Voice Recorder]. With Lin Sanjiu's help, he climbed onto her back.
"Fortunately," the boy said intermittently as he placed the [Voice Recorder] on her shoulder. "It's just a brain, not some other organ. It doesn't seem to have a body, and a brain without a body is the least threatening. "
