As soon as Bliss finished her sentence, Mrs. Manas reacted.
"I'm going to show you the image of your subconscious," she said hurriedly, "Let's see which window has the words written on it!"
"Let's look at the window of the meat grinder first," Lin Sanjiu responded. She immediately thought of the most unique collection in the building, "She asked me to come out from the window just now!"
The meat grinder floated in front of her eyes. The fragments from the corner of her eye, the blurring of her vision, the moment she glanced across the window … Her subconscious captured all of them like a portable camera that was accidentally switched on.
The window of the meat grinder was gray, and there was not a single word.
Disappointed, Lin Sanjiu turned her attention to other places. She didn't know how many images flashed across her eyes. It didn't take long for Lin Sanjiu to see all the images she had captured along the way.
Bliss was wrapped in a red robe. She stood in a dim corner and stared at Lin Sanjiu silently.
Nothing.
She didn't see any window with the words "Checkout Instance Dungeon" written on it. At least, she didn't see any of the windows she had scanned.
"Where … where is it?" Lin Sanjiu asked blankly. It was more like she was talking to herself.
Bliss turned her head and avoided her gaze. She was the one who caused all of this, but she felt a little uncomfortable about it.
Lin Sanjiu walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling window.
Mid Mountsburg was located in a snow-capped mountain. There were all kinds of buildings of different heights and posthumans coming and going. No one knew that the interior of the exhibition hall had changed. The entrance of the exhibition hall was temporarily closed. There were about eight posthumans gathered at the entrance, waiting for it to reopen. Lin Sanjiu couldn't help thinking of the posthumans who had not left the first floor when she first came in. "Once the duoluozhong comes out, I'm afraid they are doomed."
"First floor … First floor …"
Lin Sanjiu was stunned.
Bliss had said that she recognized Lin Sanjiu the moment she entered the exhibition hall. "So, why didn't she ask the" collection "on the first floor to intercept me?"
Lin Sanjiu thought of the first lead-colored duoluozhong she had seen. Other than showing its face, it didn't do anything before it was stopped by Bliss … Why?
Why did she let me go to the second floor? Or rather, why didn't he let her hang around on the first floor?
There was only one answer she could think of.
Lin Sanjiu steadied her heart and glanced at Bliss from the corner of her eyes. The latter stood far away in the corner with his eyes lowered. His expression was blurry and distant.
"Forget it." Bliss seemed to have sensed her gaze as she suddenly lifted her head. "You only have a few minutes left … Why don't we sit down and chat for a while?"
Lin Sanjiu turned around and listened to her own breathing. It was clear and rapid.
"Chatting?"
She flashed a quick smile, and before the other party could react, she suddenly raised her arm and hit the back with her elbow. She used all her strength, and when the glass shattered, she felt a chill on her arm, and a hot liquid quickly soaked through her sleeve.
Shielding her face with both hands, Lin Sanjiu didn't wait for Bliss to say anything and leaped out of the shattered glass wall.
The cold wind blew through her clothes, and in the blink of an eye, the snowy ground was right in front of her. Lin Sanjiu used the momentum to roll and jumped up. She parted the crowd and dashed toward the entrance of Bliss' exhibition hall.
"What are you doing?!"
Lin Sanjiu hugged her head and smashed through the glass door with her shoulder. She heard someone yelling behind her. Lin Sanjiu turned a deaf ear to it and strode into the corridor on the first floor. To her surprise, there were no people or duoluozhong in the four to five display windows.
"Could it be that Bliss doesn't have enough collection? So, there aren't any duoluozhong on the first floor? "
Under Mrs. Manas's control, her [Higher Consciousness Scan] swept across the room like a radar. She scanned through every window that Lin Sanjiu passed by. She didn't even let go of the ceiling. She moved quickly and reached the end of the corridor in two to three minutes. There, the lead-colored duoluozhong that she had seen before was still entrenched behind the glass window. When it saw Lin Sanjiu approaching, it immediately pressed its face against the glass window.
"Is there anything?" Lin Sanjiu asked anxiously and fearfully. Mrs. Manas didn't say anything, and she didn't hear the yell that she was hoping to hear.
"No," Mrs. Manas sounded like an anxious cat that was about to jump up. "No! Turn around and look again! "
Repeating the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result seemed to be the work of a lunatic. After Lin Sanjiu smashed every display window and checked both inside and outside, she suddenly thought of this sentence. Along with this sentence, there was also a faint sense of despair.
There was nothing in the display windows in the corridor on the first floor.
When she started to look for the checkpoint, she realized that what she was doing was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack. Every display window was connected to a small room. The small rooms were a few times bigger than the display windows. Just looking through them one by one would take up all her remaining time.
"If there's nothing in the room, what about the ceiling? If Bliss hid the checkpoint on the ceiling … how am I going to find it? What's worse, if the checkpoint is hidden on the ceiling of the second or third floor … "
Even though Lin Sanjiu knew that her chances were slim, she didn't want to give up. She probably only had two to three minutes left. It was impossible for her to search every corner of this floor in such a short amount of time. However, her unwillingness, anger, and stubbornness drove her to kick open door after door.
Suddenly, Mrs. Manas said softly, "Time's up."
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment. Then, she kicked open another lock. The door slid inwards silently, revealing a small room with the same layout as the previous one.
Her heavy breathing seemed to stir up the dark and stagnant air in the room.
A figure wrapped in a bright red chiffon dress sat on the edge of the bed and slowly raised her head. Her pupils were as blue as flames, and the shadows cast a layer of inky black, making her look like the sea under the night sky.
"Time's up," she said with a sigh.
For a moment, Lin Sanjiu didn't take it to heart. "It's just that I didn't check-in, right? She had survived so many life-or-death situations. To put it bluntly, this was just a pocket dimension. "
However, she thought of Lollipop.
Lollipop was locked in a sky prison. Almost no external force could harm her. However, when she didn't check-in, Woyu, an unexpected person, became the reason for her death in the pocket dimension.
"You … Where did you put it?"
Bliss hesitated for a few seconds. Her expression was very calm, but when her eyes moved about, a little bit of water flashed faintly. "Even if you check-in now, your life will still be in danger for the next 24 hours …"
As she spoke, she looked down, avoiding Lin Sanjiu's gaze.
"It's impossible for you to find the checkpoint just now. Just in case, I hid it in the reinforced concrete of the building. "
Hence, it couldn't be seen from the outside. From the very beginning, it wasn't a fair game.
"It's between the ceiling of the second floor and the floor of the third floor," Bliss said softly. Her voice sounded like a dream that lingered in the depths of her mind after she woke up in the morning. "Unless you completely demolish the building and flip over the broken bricks … But I can definitely rebuild it faster than you can check the broken bricks."
She had achieved her goal, but she didn't sound pleased. Instead, every word she said hurt her.
However, there was one thing that couldn't be changed. In the next 24 hours, Lin Sanjiu would probably die like Lollipop.
She didn't say a word. As her breathing gradually calmed down, she turned around. Just when she was about to close the door, she suddenly paused and looked at Bliss, "Are you feeling guilty?"
The big red figure nodded his head silently.
"Then, do me a favor," Lin Sanjiu said softly, "If you do me a favor, I won't hate you."
"What favor?"
