Ding! Lin Sanjiu placed the communicator back on the smooth oak table.
She stared at it blankly, and her brows gradually knitted together.
After some thought, she turned the communicator back into a card and summoned another [Hello? Sister]. She tapped on the second communicator a few times, and the sound of the call reverberated in the quiet room until it was cut off by the same hand.
"It doesn't seem to be a problem with the previous communicator …" Lin Sanjiu thought to herself. She tried a few times, but there was no response from the other end.
"Maybe it's nothing serious …" Lin Sanjiu quickly poured herself a glass of water and gulped it down. Her grand prize might still be in the middle of a war. If he was distracted by something, it wouldn't be strange if he didn't notice her call. Besides, she hadn't contacted him yet, so he might have been disappointed and didn't notice the call from the communicator.
Lin Sanjiu poured herself another glass of water and stared at it for two seconds. Then, she slammed the glass on the table and shouted, "Silas, prepare a glass of wine for me."
"Okay. What do you want? "
"Anything," Lin Sanjiu pushed the glass away and threw herself into the chair. She couldn't tell if it was regret or fear that overwhelmed her like a tsunami. "Hurry up."
"What if … What if the grand prize …"
Silas took out the bottle of whiskey that Woyu had drunk that day. She gripped the glass tightly, savoring the burning sensation of the alcohol on her tongue. Without realizing it, she gulped down a few glasses. Her blood began to warm up, and she could feel her face turning red. Suddenly, she stood up and walked out of the room. When she reached the door, she turned back and hugged the communicator in her arms. Then, she walked out of the room.
It seemed that Yu Yuan didn't expect to see her again tonight. When he opened the door, he was wrapped in a bathrobe and his body was steaming hot. Before he could say anything, Lin Sanjiu shoved the communicator into his arm and dashed through the door.
"This is for you," she said as she rushed through the door. It was only then that she remembered that she should explain herself. The alcohol burned her stomach and made her dizzy. "I — I couldn't contact him."
"Then, why did you give it to me?"
"I still have more, I … I can still use other communicators to continue trying. This, this is for you. "She frowned and sat down unsteadily on the sofa. Yu Yuan also noticed and asked in a low voice, "How many glasses did you drink?"
Lin Sanjiu lowered her head and gestured four.
"How many more months do you have to teleport?" She muttered after a few seconds.
"Seven months."
"Almost the same as me, just a little earlier than me." She wiped her face. "Tomorrow, we'll go to the black market … or the Mokugyo Forum … to buy a visa for you. Take this communicator with you. When you leave, take the drone with you. You should go to the Salvation of God. Compared to the Olympics, the Salvation of God is more of a breather … "
"What do you mean?" Yu Yuan looked down at the communicator in his hand and asked quietly.
"You want to go to my brother's place, don't you?" Lin Sanjiu forced a smile at him, "I'll help you. After you get out of the atmosphere of the Salvation of God, use this communicator to call him … "
"You don't know what happened to him, so you want me to check on him for you." Yu Yuan lowered his eyes and sighed softly.
"Yes." She felt that her current appearance must be very despicable. "To tell you the truth, that place … is very dangerous. He has been fighting with another lifeform, and I don't know if it has ended. I can't even understand the way he fights … Posthumans like us can't even protect ourselves once we get involved. I'm asking you to look for him, but I'm actually asking you to take a risk … "
What if Yu Yuan changed his mind and didn't want to go? What should she do?
"I understand." The young man put the communicator on the table and his expression turned serious. "Why don't you go yourself?"
Lin Sanjiu smiled bitterly, "I wish I could go."
It was strange. She thought that she was tired of the endless apocalyptic worlds, but now, she was trying her best to stay in the apocalyptic worlds — to stay outside the Data Stream Library.
Of course, if the flood that Nvywa mentioned came true, she might not have any other place to go.
"This communicator can be used many times in close proximity." Lin Sanjiu did not know whether he would agree to go or not, so she kept her head down and did not look at him. She fiddled with a thread on her sleeve. The room was quiet, and only her voice could be heard, "You should be safe after you contact him … You can tell him about my situation and ask him to contact me … I will keep a communicator with me. I won't put it in my card storage."
Yu Yuan didn't say anything.
She lowered her head and waited for a while. Then, she continued, "Of course, if you don't want to go, I understand. It's really dangerous there. The lifeforms that are fighting with him don't have the ability to reproduce, so they might turn every outsider they catch into one of their own — if you're lucky. I don't know — "
"There are two things," Yu Yuan suddenly interrupted her and crossed his arms. He frowned and said slowly, "First, you have to tell me what the danger is. Tell me everything you know."
Lin Sanjiu raised her head.
"If I want to live, I can't avoid danger. Be it in the Twelve Worlds Centrum, the other apocalyptic worlds, or the place where your brother is, I have earned every day. " The young man leaned on the table. His face was hidden in the shadows, making it hard for others to see his expression clearly. "… But compared to the danger of the flood where there is nowhere to escape and where there is no way to defend against it, I'd rather face a danger that I've already understood. If you can help me prepare for it, I'm willing to go. "
She almost let a sigh of relief slip from her throat. "What's the other thing?" she asked gratefully. She still had seven months to get in touch with Ji Shanqing. If there was still no news from him, she wouldn't be at a loss!
"Second, the aircraft is useless."
Yu Yuan scratched his head and laughed bitterly. "It's like an airplane. It can only travel within the atmosphere. In order to escape the gravitational pull of the planet, I need a rocket or a spaceship. "
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment before she understood.
"You mean …" She gripped the edge of the sofa tightly. After some time, she opened her mouth. "You need Exodus?"
Yu Yuan raised his head. He looked a little embarrassed. "I know you already treat it as your home. I need a spaceship, but it doesn't have to be a starship. How about this? We still have seven months before the transfer. Maybe we can find another spaceship. Don't they say that everything can be found in the black market? "
Lin Sanjiu bit her lip and nodded. Only then did she feel her heart slowly return to her chest. It was already twelve o'clock. Even though both of them were wide awake, Lin Sanjiu bade Yu Yuan goodnight and walked to the door.
"Even though that kid is a little strange … Since that shop can help us find an aircraft, we might be able to find a spaceship." The young man smiled comfortingly at her and sighed. "… I didn't expect that just by entering a dream dungeon, the rest of my life might be completely changed."
"I didn't achieve my initial goal," Lin Sanjiu joked. Lin Sanjiu joked. She tried her best not to worry about the grand prize. "The Reverie Libretto didn't give me a single clue as to who the person who wants to kill me is."
Not a single clue.
Lin Sanjiu's words echoed in her mind as she walked back to her room. When she summoned another communication device and placed it on the bedside table, she was thinking about it. When she got under the blanket and turned off the light, she was still thinking about it.
Lin Sanjiu reached out and touched the cold and smooth surface of the communication device. She didn't know why her mind was stuck on that sentence. Eventually, she closed her eyes.
In the darkness of the night, she suddenly sat up on the bed and took a deep breath.
She was wrong.
