The man's high forehead slammed into the wall with a "bang", and the cracks immediately crawled in all directions on the wall. The broken walls and dust fell into the air. That posthuman slid down the floor in a daze, revealing the path behind him. Lin Sanjiu stepped over his body and left a bloody footprint on the ground with a thud.
Of course, it wasn't her blood.
Thick smoke billowed out from the corridor behind her. It gradually spread and filled the entire hotel. The night light beside her feet was already dim. Now, other than the lines of smoke, she couldn't see anything. When she was fighting her way out of the encirclement, there seemed to be someone whose ability was related to fire. But then again, the dozens of posthumans that she had knocked down and left behind were not really part of the "encirclement".
She turned around and looked.
Scattered human bodies lay on the floor along the corridor. Some of them had lost consciousness and were motionless. Some of them could still groan.
If she hadn't been intercepted, Lin Sanjiu wouldn't have realized that there was such a huge gap between her and the average posthumans. Some of them didn't even have the chance to use their evolved abilities before she dislocated their limbs. Most of the posthumans fell to the ground when they saw her clearly.
"Most of the people who can be hypnotized are at this level, right? If they think they can stop me, they are underestimating me a little too much. "She muttered to herself as she walked forward.
"That kind of hypnosis doesn't cost anything, and it's hard to defend against," Mrs. Manas said. "If the person hasn't awakened their higher consciousness, they won't be able to avoid it even if they have a high combat level. His method is really cunning. I really admire that guy … Don't let your guard down. Maybe there are more opponents waiting for you ahead. "
"Don't jinx it," Lin Sanjiu elbowed a woman's throat. She pulled her hand back as the woman's windpipe gurgled. She watched as the woman slowly fell to the ground. She didn't die, but she couldn't get up for the time being. "I remember that you are always the best."
"I'm just reminding you to be careful." Mrs. Manas sounded a little unhappy. "Combat power doesn't determine the outcome of a battle. Sometimes, a special item can turn the tables. Besides, these people's combat strength is about the same as when you left the oasis. What's there to be proud of in defeating them? "
"Really?" Lin Sanjiu was taken aback. Ever since she stepped into the apocalypse, her enemies were always stronger than the other. It was as if they were mountains that she could never climb to the top of. Her gaze was fixed on the high ground, making her feel as if she had been walking on the same spot. If she didn't look back, she wouldn't have realized how far she had traveled.
"Of course," Mrs. Manas said before she suddenly shut her mouth.
Lin Sanjiu's hypersensory reacted at the same time. She immediately stopped and stared straight ahead. In the empty corridor, a dark shadow slowly emerged from the thick and thin smoke. As the man walked towards her, his silhouette became clearer and clearer. Gradually, she could see the reflection of light on his shoulders.
It really came as soon as I said it.
'Didn't I say, 'she asked inwardly, with a sigh,' that your jinx was particularly accurate? '
Mrs. Manas stopped talking as if she had decided to play dead.
Whether an evolver was strong or not, it seemed that even the air around him would be affected. A faint and heavy sense of pressure rippled through the air. The man stopped about ten steps away from her. He smiled at Lin Sanjiu, revealing his pearly white teeth. Then, he opened his arms. He stood there defenselessly, as if he was waiting for her to hug him.
This guy must have been observing her for a while and knew that her ability was mainly used in close combat. Seeing that he was confident, Lin Sanjiu, who couldn't figure out his background, stopped moving. A silver light flashed in her hand as she activated her [Individualized Teaching].
"Do you like eel rice or fried pork chop?" the man suddenly asked softly.
"What?"
Lin Sanjiu was stunned. Of course, she kept her mouth shut and didn't say a word. That question must be the condition for activating an ability or item. Of course, she wouldn't fall for it.
"Do you like blue or white? Do you like to travel by the sea or in the mountains? Do you like dogs or cats?" Several questions popped up one after another. They were so fast that Lin Sanjiu couldn't even keep up with them. He uttered each word one after another, and in a split second, he had already asked a lot of questions. However, he still managed to enunciate each word clearly. When the last question flew past him like a flash of lightning, "Will you be trapped for one minute or 24 hours?"
"You have no choice," the man clapped his hands slowly, "Consider it a forfeit."
It was only then that Lin Sanjiu realized what the last question was. There was no other reason other than the fact that the man was talking too fast.
Lin Sanjiu didn't care if the man had any tricks up his sleeves. She leaped forward and used her [Individualized Teaching]. The sharp whistle tore through the fog. In the blink of an eye, the man finished his sentence at an unbelievable speed, "Curry yellow playground bunny, you can only leave if I let you go!"
When his last word leaped into the air, the tip of the pointer hit his shoulder. A few lines of silver words popped up, glowing in the smoke. However, it was too late.
"The direction of his ability is verbal. It seems to have something to do with his eloquence. His speed of speech is frighteningly fast. Be careful of the two choices he asks. "
The man turned to look at the silver words on his shoulder and couldn't help chuckling. When he opened his mouth again, his speed had returned to normal, "Your analysis is pretty accurate, but it's too late."
His gaze followed the silver words and landed on the pointer. Lin Sanjiu's heart tightened, and the pointer immediately disappeared from her palm. The greed that had just appeared in the man's eyes dimmed like a spark that had been extinguished. As if unwilling to give up, he looked at her wrist, which was still maintaining its original posture, and snorted, "Your reaction is pretty fast. However, my speed of speech is still faster than yours. If you give up, I can choose an answer that is out of the range of choices for you. Every time I use my ability, I can only make one answer become the truth. As for which one I choose, you know it very well. "
For each question, the two choices he gave were different in nature, but they weren't an either-or relationship. This man was so gifted that he had probably used this ability to make countless posthumans suffer. Who would have thought that if they didn't answer, he could choose an answer for them? It might not be able to kill people, but it was perfect for intercepting people.
Was there really a way to defend against his ability?
However, it was too late to think about that now.
Lin Sanjiu maintained her previous posture. No matter how much strength she exerted, even if her face was flushed, she still couldn't move an inch. She was pinned to the spot and could only stare at the man as he circled her twice. Then, he moved his face closer to her and examined the bandage on her neck.
"This bandage is very old," he clicked his tongue and carefully put on a glove. Then, he moved his hand toward her neck, "What are you using it to cover?"
Lin Sanjiu sighed. Even though she couldn't move, she could still speak, "The third … I don't think it's the fourth world."
"What?" The man was startled. He stopped, and a trace of confusion flashed across his face.
"Oh, I'm talking to myself," Lin Sanjiu smiled. Lin Sanjiu chuckled. "What I said just now was that when I experienced the third apocalypse in my life, my ability level was about the same as yours at that time."
The man thought for a moment and finally understood what she meant. His face, which was not well-proportioned, darkened slowly.
"I can't even remember how many worlds I've experienced in Heaven Yellow Springs." Lin Sanjiu narrowed her eyes at him and gave him a sincere smile. "In other words, compared to me, you are still much more inexperienced."
Lin Sanjiu spoke slowly, but she didn't give the man any time to react. Before her voice died away, a wave of Higher Consciousness surged forward and hit his torso, sending him flying far away. Like a runaway bull, the Higher Consciousness propelled him all the way to the other side of the hotel. With a muffled sound like thunder, the Higher Consciousness smashed him into the wall in the blink of an eye. The entire wall swayed on top of the man's head, and it looked like it was about to break into pieces.
"I don't even need to think about it. I can destroy your ability with brute force," Lin Sanjiu said.
After the man's shadow was swallowed by half of the wall, Lin Sanjiu suddenly swung her arms and stood up straight. Usually, after the owner of the ability died or lost consciousness, the effect of the ability would disappear.
"Brute force?" Mrs. Manas couldn't help but ask, "Do you know how rare and precious the Higher Consciousness is? If you train it to the extreme, you won't even need to move, and you'll be able to do whatever you want with it … Do you understand what it means? "
"It doesn't matter whether I understand it or not," Lin Sanjiu stuffed her hands into her pockets and walked toward the back door. The further they went, the clearer the air became. The smog was blown away by the night breeze that came out of nowhere, and it was cool and comforting. She didn't see Dali, which made her curious. Then, she heaved a sigh of relief. "I think the person who is chasing me should consider my combat ability and stop bothering me with these useless people."
"Because I just want to stop you."
A soft voice, which Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman, rang out from the back door, "It doesn't matter if you are useless or not, as long as there are enough people."
Lin Sanjiu stopped abruptly.
The iron gate was wide open, and the night breeze and moonlight seeped into the room. A slender figure was surrounded by a faint halo of light, and the outline of his silhouette was darker than the darkness outside. The man leaned his shoulder against the door. His loose robe billowed in the wind, and the corner of his robe swayed gently like a tree branch on a midsummer night. Dali stood not far from him, staring blankly at the ground.
Lin Sanjiu thought that the noise she heard was the sound of Dali closing the door. Only now did she realize that the fat shop owner had actually opened the back door to let the man in.
"I've heard a lot about you," the slender figure said with a smile. "It's my first time meeting you tonight."
Lin Sanjiu stared at the figure for a while. Suddenly, she raised her hand and wiped the corner of her mouth.
