After she found a spot on the rooftop, Lin Sanjiu turned the [3D Projector] back into a card. After she set up the projector, she stood on top of it. It was now the intersection of day and night. The difference in temperature between day and night caused the wind to howl in the twilight. Lin Sanjiu's short hair fluttered in the wind.
"I made the right choice to stay in this hotel," Lin Sanjiu smiled, feeling a little fortunate. She clenched her fist and said, "From this rooftop, I can control my projection to buy milk cakes on the other side of the street."
Through the gaps between her fingers, the round leaves revealed a few watery eyes. Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell who they were. They couldn't hold on to Lin Sanjiu's clothes like a human. If she wasn't careful, they would be blown away by the wind. Therefore, they could only squeeze into her palm.
Lin Sanjiu wondered how long they could stay by her side.
"First, let's test the distance I can walk."
Lin Sanjiu set the distance and switched on the light source. Behind the corner of the opposite street, there was a figure that looked exactly like her. There were a few posthumans not far away who were startled by the sudden appearance of a living person. When they peeked at Lin Sanjiu discreetly, they scattered in all directions, quickly distancing themselves from the projection.
Lin Sanjiu stared at her own projection as she walked slowly.
Her physical projection had to be able to walk, but she couldn't walk with the projection. So, she designed a treadmill-like platform for the projector, which was much more convenient.
Her projection turned the corner clumsily and bent down to pick up something from the ground.
It was a walkie-talkie that Lin Sanjiu had left behind when she went downstairs. It was about the size of a peanut. Once she put it in her ear, she couldn't see anything. As she walked, her projection slowly approached the snack bar where Nagashi-chan was.
"Why are you here again?" Nagashi-chan's impatient voice came from the other end of the earpiece.
It seemed that even the duoluozhongs, who were in close contact with her every day, didn't realize that the one in front of them wasn't the real person.
Lin Sanjiu raised her hand to rub her cheeks. At the same time, her projection moved. Through the projection's mouth, she said to the duoluozhongs, "Can you help me take a look? I have a toothache these days."
"What?" Even though she was on the rooftop of another building, she could imagine the eyes of the duoluozhong widening.
"The desserts you made are too sweet. I think I have cavities. Can you help me take a look?"
Hearing this, Zhang Changzhi took a few steps back from the counter. Looking from the rooftop, she seemed to disappear behind the eaves. "What are you talking about? How disgusting! I don't want to see other people's teeth decay! Moreover, the desserts I make taste just right and sell very quickly. They won't be too sweet at all! "
He was obviously a duoluozhong, but he found the decay disgusting.
"How do you know? Anyway, you're a girl with a cracked mouth. You can't even taste how much sugar was added to the dessert, right? " Lin Sanjiu's physical projection stood in front of the counter. "Ah!" Lin Sanjiu opened her mouth and mumbled, "Ah, Ein is dark."
"Poor innkeeper," said a Round Leaf softly.
The tea leaves still had so many opinions.
"If you don't leave now, I will turn you into a woman with a cracked mouth!" In the headset, Nagashi shouted fiercely, "Shut up!"
How could Lin Sanjiu shut up? She wanted to know if the interior of her physical projection was the same as the real person, but she couldn't go forward to check. The four Round Leaves didn't know what the interior of a human's body was like. She spent half a day trying to get them to describe it, but the best they could come up with was, "Hmm, it's dark inside, there's no light."
When she thought about it carefully, it didn't make sense at all. They obviously went in through the mouth, so they should at least know what the journey to the stomach was like.
When Boss heard what Lin Sanjiu said, he immediately protested, "We didn't dare to look at it!"
In any case, Lin Sanjiu had no choice but to use Nagashi.
Standing on the rooftop with her mouth open, Lin Sanjiu couldn't see the situation on the other side of the road. Soon, she felt that her teeth were cold from the wind. She mumbled and urged Nagashi to look into her mouth, but there was silence in the headset. Lin Sanjiu didn't know what was happening in the shop. Just when she started to feel a little silly, she heard Nagashi yell, "Seriously, I'm not a dentist. I can't tell which tooth has a cavity!"
In other words, the interior of her physical projection — at least the interior of her oral cavity — was the same as the real person. There was nothing that could arouse the suspicion of the duoluozhong.
In order to make it look exactly like the real person, the only thing she needed was the "Collar Under the Bandage"!
Lin Sanjiu closed her mouth and licked her teeth. She quickly lowered her gaze.
"If I don't try it once, I won't notice it."
She could speak through her physical projection, but she couldn't see or hear through it. If there was a blind spot when she was talking to someone, and she couldn't find the other person's face when she was talking, it would look very suspicious. When she lowered her head, the physical projection also lowered its head. It was much more natural, as if she was choosing a snack in front of her.
"Why do I always have these two kinds of snacks?" Lin Sanjiu lowered her head as she tried to recall the route she took to get here. She planned how to turn around and walk back naturally, "Can't you develop more new snacks?"
"Did I invite you to eat?" Nagashi scoffed, "You can leave if you're not satisfied … But, it's fine if you don't leave. I have already thought of a way to take revenge on you."
"Revenge?"
Lin Sanjiu straightened her back and shrugged her shoulders. "Ha." Then, she turned around and walked away. She knew that her actions would enrage Naganori, but she was not familiar with how to control a physical projection. This was the most natural way for her to leave.
After her physical projection left the counter of the store, Nagashi's shadow appeared again. It stared for a moment in the direction in which the physical projection had gone, and suddenly rummaged under the counter and pulled out a packet of something; it seemed to be a packet of powder, for from a distance it looked as if it had spilled it into a bowl of milk cake ingredients beside it.
"Oh?" Lin Sanjiu turned the projector back into a card. She thought for a moment and said, "My physical projection won't die after eating that powder, right? I can give it a try tomorrow morning. "
"Why do you have a problem with that shop owner?" After entering the room, Lao San crawled out from between her thumb and index finger and asked listlessly. The four round leaves were squashed a little.
"That's not my target," Lin Sanjiu put down the four brothers and took out some iron rods and knives from her card library. "I'm just looking for it to practice my skills … Since it can't tell that I'm a physical projection, I'll go and find my real target after I eat my spiced breakfast tomorrow morning if I have nothing else to do."
The four leaves stood far away in the corner of the store. They seemed to know the danger of knives.
"Who's the real target?" Nobody knew which boss it was, but he asked in a soft voice.
Lin Sanjiu suddenly fell silent.
The aircraft was parked at the top of the mountain above Mid Mountsburg. It was out of everyone's sight, so no one noticed it when it landed. However, one of Luther's 12 personalities was able to find it with ease and set up an explosive device on the aircraft. It was as if he knew that the aircraft was parked there.
Lin Sanjiu could only guess that the aircraft had been tampered with long ago. The aircraft's whereabouts had always been under someone's control.
The most suspicious person was the little boy who had suddenly appeared halfway through the purchase of the aircraft.
That old shop owner might have lost his life because of this business of hers …
Lin Sanjiu closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
The next morning, she used her physical projection to walk around the black market for a while. After she felt that she was getting better at controlling it, she went to look for Nagisa and bought a milk cake. Even though Lin Sanjiu was only sending mouthfuls of air into her mouth, she couldn't help feeling nervous when her physical projection ate the milk cake. After a while, she heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that nothing happened to her body.
Even if the poisonous milk cake entered a body made from corpses, it probably wouldn't have any effect.
