"Mrs. Manas, Mrs. Manas!"
Lin Sanjiu called out a few times in her mind. She stared at the group of people not far away from her. Her breathing was shallow and rapid, "Come out!"
It was impossible for a living person to vanish into thin air. The sky bus was thousands of meters in the air, so the man had to have somewhere to go!
Her first thought was that the man had changed his appearance and attire while she was looking down. Since she could wear a mask, the others could as well.
"Mrs. Manas, quick! Quick!" Lin Sanjiu became even more anxious when she thought of this. She scanned the group of people in front of her again and again. She felt that everyone who stared at her was very suspicious. "Show me the image I saw before I rushed over!"
"Do you think your subconscious can remember everything you see?" Mrs. Manas finally revealed her head slowly. While Lin Sanjiu was still in a daze, Mrs. Manas said unhurriedly, "But the image you saw just now was very close. Let me look for it. Maybe I can find it."
Lin Sanjiu composed herself and activated her [Higher Consciousness Defense]. If the man was hiding among the group of passengers in front of her, she had to be more careful since she had already exposed herself.
"Are you ready?" Mrs. Manas moved quickly this time, "I'm going to push it into your subconscious."
Following Lin Sanjiu's answer, another image unfolded in front of her. It was like a recorded scene that was playing in her retina.
When the "scene" ended, she was disappointed.
A few minutes ago, she had glanced at the back of the bus and imprinted the man and the passengers beside him into her memory. However, every passenger in the image was now standing in front of her, no more, no less — except for the man.
Lin Sanjiu was unwilling to give up. She counted the faces in the image a few times, afraid that she might have missed any one of them. However, there weren't many people at the back of the bus. After comparing the faces a few times, she finally realized that the man wasn't disguised as another passenger.
"Could it be that he has some kind of Special Item that can hide him?"
Ignoring the group of passengers in front of her, Lin Sanjiu turned around and walked to the spot where the man was standing. She looked around and took out her [Truth Candle]. Just as he rubbed the lighter, someone behind him immediately shouted, "What are you doing! Don't mess around! " His voice blew past her like a gust of wind. Lin Sanjiu did not even turn her head. She raised the white candle and shone it around her.
The light of the [Truth Wax] could melt all camouflage that it illuminated. She had used this item to discover Hegel hiding in the darkness. But this time, under the dim light of the fire, everything remained the same.
Lin Sanjiu blew out the candle and put it away. For a moment, her heart was filled with frustration and frustration. She couldn't figure out where the man went and how he disappeared into thin air. She sighed deeply and decided to call one of the passengers to ask about what happened. But when she turned around, she saw that the people she had bumped into were standing behind her in a semicircle. None of their faces were good-looking.
"What are you doing?" A woman crossed her arms and glared at him. "How can you light a fire here?"
"If you don't want to sit, get off now!" Another fat and bald man shouted, "This is the territory of the Nocturnal Wanderer!"
Clearly, he had nothing to do with the Nocturnal Wanderer. He was just using the organization's name to boost his courage. When there was an overwhelming difference in strength between posthumans, even if they didn't fight, both parties would more or less feel the difference.
Lin Sanjiu was not interested in getting into a conflict with them, so she walked through the crowd without saying a word. When the skybus landed at Black's Market, she was the first to get off. None of the people who got out of the car after her looked like they had anything to do with the man, and none of them looked at her. She watched as the skybus slowly rose into the air and disappeared into the dark blue sky. She was so anxious that she wanted to kick something over.
After the sun had completely sunk below the horizon, the black market seemed to have woken up from its slumber. Dazzling lights of various colors lit up one after another. The famous slogan was projected into the sky, and the chatter and laughter of the people gradually grew louder, creating a warm atmosphere in the chilly night.
As Lin Sanjiu walked a few steps through the crowd, the sense of wonder, novelty, and fascination she felt when she first saw the black market had disappeared. She could only feel that the crowd around her was getting more and more irritating. The bargaining noises were getting louder and louder, and the colorful lights were blinding her eyes. Just as she was about to push away a short woman who was walking slowly in front of her, the communication device slung across her body began to vibrate.
"Where have you been?" Yu Yuan asked, baffled. "Didn't you say you would wait for me here? I've already come in, and I thought you were inside. "
After being interrupted by that man, Lin Sanjiu almost forgot that she had an appointment with Yu Yuan. She let out a long sigh and rubbed her temples. "I'm at Black's Market," she said in a low voice.
"I just came out from there. Why did you go there again?" Yu Yuan didn't know whether he should laugh or cry. The sound of the seat being pressed against came from the communication device. It should be him getting into the driver's seat.
"It's a long story. I feel like I'm being watched …" Lin Sanjiu turned her head around, feeling a little paranoid. Even though the communication device was secure, she wasn't sure if someone was following her. Every posthuman in her field of vision looked very suspicious, so she didn't dare to turn off her [Defense Forcefield]. "I'll tell you the details in person."
Perhaps discussing it with him could help her sort out her thoughts.
"You're being watched?" Yu Yuan thought for a moment and said in a serious tone, "How about this? After you come out from Black's Market, find a secluded place and wait for me. I'll pick you up."
"No, you don't have to —"
"It's already dark. It will take too long for you to reach Mid Mountsburg and climb to the top of the mountain. Besides, if you're really being watched, it's better to shake them off as soon as possible. Besides, it's safer for us to fly at night. "
The image of the jet disappearing into the night sky appeared in Lin Sanjiu's mind along with that sentence. Yu Yuan's words made sense, but there was one thing she needed to tell him first, "When I was at the top of the mountain, I saw a man —"
Before she could finish her sentence, there was a sudden commotion in front of her. It was followed by a loud shout, "Catch him!" A figure pushed through the crowd and ran quickly in her direction. He was carrying a pile of trinkets in his arms, which thudded and fell to the ground as he ran. Just as he was about to collide with Lin Sanjiu, she suddenly twisted her body and dodged past him. That person's reflexes were obviously not as good as hers, and he almost tripped. When he finally stumbled past her, Lin Sanjiu retracted her gaze from his face.
Not only did the person look familiar, but she also felt that she had experienced the scene where they almost collided with each other before …
"Catch that thief!" A loud and clear voice rushed out from a shop on the side of the road. "He stole my things! Catch him! "
Most of the people just craned their necks to watch the commotion, but there were a few people who had not lost their hearts to the apocalypse. They yelled and chased after the figure. Lin Sanjiu retreated a few steps to the roadside and heard Yu Yuan's voice coming from the speaker, "What's wrong? What happened? "
"It's nothing," Lin Sanjiu dodged the crowd and hid under the shade of the eaves of a shop, "It seems like someone stole the goods and ran away."
Yu Yuan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard a faint rumbling sound coming from somewhere. "You're making me a little paranoid. What did you want to tell me just now? "
Just when Lin Sanjiu was about to say something, she saw another figure pushing his way through the crowd. It was a fat man with a hunched back. He was groping on the ground as he walked forward. The greasy sweat on his forehead glistened under the glow of the shop's lights.
"Just like the thief, he looks very familiar …" Lin Sanjiu frowned, and the words on the tip of her tongue froze.
"Be careful, don't step on it!" The unshaven plump man squatted on the ground and picked up a small item, "You have to pay for it if you break it! Twenty Rondes for one! "
Thanks to the Scrooge McDuck ability in her body, the price triggered a faint memory in her. Just like the plump man, she also found the phrase "twenty Rondes for one" very familiar … Lin Sanjiu froze for half a second. She suddenly rushed forward and picked up a small item from the ground before the plump man.
It was a plastic box that looked like a jelly.
"Hey, give me back my smile!" the plump man yelled at her as he wiped the greasy sweat off his forehead.
"That's right, no wonder he looks so familiar …" Lin Sanjiu handed the jelly "smile" back to him and watched the plump man walk away while mumbling to himself. She had bought a "smile" from him before. It was a magical item that could make a person happy for a few hours.
"Hello?" Yu Yuan called through the communication device again.
"I'm here," Lin Sanjiu quickly replied, "It's okay. It's the shop owner whose item was stolen. I want to tell you that someone touched the aircraft when I was waiting for you this afternoon! "
"You were touched? Who? "
As Yu Yuan spoke, Lin Sanjiu could clearly hear the low buzzing sound of the aircraft's cockpit operating. For some reason, Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. "You … Have you already taken off?"
"Yes."
"Land! Hurry up and land! A man climbed to the top of the mountain this afternoon and somehow found the aircraft — "
