After writing the memo, Lin Sanjiu felt relieved. She slept for another eight to nine hours before she was woken up by Silas's gentle light. She had a scrumptious breakfast, took a hot bath, and changed into a clean set of clothes. She felt as if she had been reborn.
She picked up the memo from last night and stared at it for a while. A bitter smile appeared on her lips. Last night when she was drowsy, her way of thinking seemed to have completely changed. Today, when she looked at it again, she immediately realized the most important problem.
If she wanted to complete her tasks one by one, she had to get rid of the personalities that were stalking her.
In the past, this would not have been difficult. However, she was stuck in the "check-in dungeon". Her area of activity had probably been exposed long ago, and there were only a few check-in points in her area of activity. She would definitely be one of the people who checked in at the checkpoints every day.
Lin Sanjiu opened the checkpoint booklet she bought and compared it with the map. In the opposite direction of Black's Market, there was a smaller posthuman gathering place called Orangery. As it was too far away, Mop Bu did not mark the checkpoint there. However, Lin Sanjiu figured that there must be one somewhere near Orangery.
Judging from the terrain, Orangery was located in the middle of a hill. If Exodus was parked in the middle of the hills, it should be enough to avoid detection.
"Silas," Lin Sanjiu scanned all the maps into Exodus' operating system and ordered, "After 10 o'clock tonight, head to this destination. Is that clear?"
"Yes," Silas replied softly. On the 3D map that popped up from the control panel, a bright red "X" was slowly rotating at her destination.
Next, it was time to check in.
Lin Sanjiu had used up all her [Masks]. After thinking for a while, she decided not to disguise herself. Instead, she took out a few sets of clothes from her card storage. They were all the same: a black singlet, a pair of combat pants, and a pair of boots. Other than a jacket for the cold weather, she was dressed exactly the same as when she was in Hyperthermal Hell.
"I don't need to hide," she explained to Mrs. Manas in her mind, "I can't hide anyway. Even though I don't know how they do it, they seem to be able to recognize me. "
"But you don't have to jump up and wave your hands to tell them where you are, do you?"
"Is it really that eye-catching?"
Lin Sanjiu asked as she turned around in front of the mirror.
The figure in the mirror was tall, thin, slender, and refined. Every line that was as smooth as a painter's brush seemed to be condensed to maximize the body's functions. When she was still, she looked like a statue under the hands of a famous master. With just a slight movement, she would burst forth with astonishing speed and power.
"The more eye-catching I am, the better," Lin Sanjiu smiled and walked out of the room. She sat in the single cabin that was waiting for her. "To be honest, I wish I could hold up a sign saying that I am Lin Sanjiu."
Her journey to Black's Market was as uneventful as ever.
When Lin Sanjiu approached the electric pole, she had a vague feeling that someone was watching her from behind. However, it was also possible that she was hallucinating because she knew that Luther's persona was following her.
"They should be a bit surprised to see that I'm not dead, right?"
Lin Sanjiu checked her surroundings after she successfully completed her check-in. Lin Sanjiu didn't know whether it was because of her appearance or her temperament, but she attracted a lot of attention. Among the posthumans who walked past the electric pole, there would always be a few pairs of eyes looking at her.
She spent less than a minute to check-in. If someone was really looking for her, perhaps she should give them more time so that they could follow her closely so that they wouldn't miss her.
After she left the check-in point, she stuffed her hands into her trouser pockets and strolled leisurely on the street. Even though she had been to Black's Market many times, there were still many unfamiliar areas that she had never set foot in. After Lin Sanjiu walked a few rounds around the market, she happened to see a teahouse from afar. There were tables, chairs, and tea sets on the road outside the teahouse. It seemed that the teahouse's business was quite good. There were many customers coming and going from the teahouse.
"This is such a good place."
"Boss!" Lin Sanjiu looked at the handwritten tea list on the teahouse and frowned slightly, "Can I have a pot of … Uh, Faint Light of Wisdom?"
"What is this?"
"It will be ready in a minute!" the red-faced girl replied with a smile. She was so busy that she was sweating profusely. She wasn't exaggerating at all. As soon as she finished speaking, a teapot landed in front of Lin Sanjiu with a thud.
"This tea … Can it make me smarter?" Lin Sanjiu asked, a little doubtful.
The red-faced girl was stunned for a moment before she burst into laughter, "No, this is not that kind of tea!"
As she laughed, she opened the lid of the teapot for Lin Sanjiu. Inside the teapot were five round, brownish-green leaves that had been soaked in the tea. They were spinning slowly in the water. "Here, take a sip of the tea and swallow a leaf," the red-faced girl instructed. "You can't chew it. You have to swallow it directly. There must be tea between the leaves."
"Why?"
Lin Sanjiu was puzzled, but before she could ask any questions, someone on the other side of the tent ordered a pot of "Heart of the Iron-Blooded Brave". The girl wiped her hands on her apron and rushed over. She was empty-handed when she ran over, but when she reached the person, she had already placed a pot of tea on the table. Lin Sanjiu couldn't even see where she took the teapot from.
"Since I'm already here, I might as well give it a try."
Lin Sanjiu stared at the tea leaves in the teapot for a while. She noticed that the four to five round leaves were spinning at a constant speed in the tea. It was almost like a machine. Lin Sanjiu looked at the customers around her and followed the girl's instructions. She took a big gulp of tea and swallowed a round leaf. The round leaf disappeared from her throat in an instant. It was so smooth that Lin Sanjiu felt a little unprepared.
Even after she finished the entire pot of tea, she didn't notice anyone suspicious around her.
"If that's the case," Lin Sanjiu pushed the teapot away and took out a card, "I should get down to business."
With a thought, the card in her hand turned into an item [Party B Designer].
It was a Special Item that could be customized according to one's request. It looked like an ordinary form with a pen attached. There were a few different item templates at the top of the form. As a "stingy customer who didn't want to spend a lot of money", Lin Sanjiu could only choose one item from the template and fill in her request.
