Lin Sanjiu did not expect Bohemia to reject the offer. "I'm not going!"
"Huh?" Lin Sanjiu didn't know how to react.
"What are you talking about? You're not a safe person. You might want to kill me for my money."
Strangely enough, Lin Sanjiu's hesitation about whether she should let Bohemia go to the Astral Plane disappeared. "What kind of money do you have for me to get?" Lin Sanjiu sneered. She felt that her current tone was very similar to Puppeteer's, "Are you suffering from persecutory delusions?" Lin Sanjiu sneered.
"Do I need to be delusional? I've been persecuted by you several times! "Speaking of this, Bohemia looked as if she was about to explode from her ears. However, after her anger subsided a little, her brown eyes glinted. She seemed to be vigilant, but at the same time, she was looking for reassurance, "Can't I be a little careless? Besides, you won't be in a good place. "
"I won't harm you. I just want to make it up to you. I pity you."
"I pity your mother."
All Lin Sanjiu wanted to do now was to fight with her. "Aren't we going to the Astral Plane together? My house is very safe. It's a good place to hide. Are you going or not? "
"Nope."
Lin Sanjiu had no choice but to use her trump card.
"It's been a long time since you last took a bath, right?"
Bohemia froze for a second, as if someone had pressed the pause button. Just when she was about to lower her head to sniff herself, she came to her senses and stopped. Her face was red as she stammered, "Stop talking nonsense!"
"Seems like it."
"I have a bathtub, bath salts, and milk." Bath salts were a lie. Lin Sanjiu could fool her with table salt. "Besides, once we enter the Astral Plane, our bodies will be protected."
Bohemia was silent for a moment. It was as if someone had sewn her mouth shut. If Lin Sanjiu waited for her to say, "Okay, let's go." Lin Sanjiu might die of old age first. She turned around and asked, "How do we get out?"
Sure enough, the woman was following her hesitantly.
"Go straight ahead," Bohemia said with a straight face, "The entrance to the orangery can only be entered but not exited. There's an exit in front. Prepare the money. "
"What do you need the money for?"
"You can enter the entrance as you like, but you have to pay a management fee to leave," Bohemia explained. "The orangery also needs to be managed."
"What's there to manage?"
"You are such a fool," Bohemia sneered. "For example, a message can be read three times, and three people each sent a message that was worth three times to read. In this way, the information that could be read three times would be read nine times. If no one cares about it, won't the area of the orangery grow bigger and bigger? "
Lin Sanjiu had never thought about that. "Are the twelve worlds managed by the twelve organizations?"
"Yes. Each realm can only send out one organization to participate in the joint management, and there are many small gangs under the organization. " Bohemia seemed to be happy that the topic was changed. "I grew up in the Land of Winter Snow," she said proudly.
"Never heard of it."
"You're really ignorant!"
Lin Sanjiu had always been interested in the management system of the Twelve Worlds, how they operated, and how posthumans lived in them. However, she had neither the time nor the energy to understand them. Bohemia was a child born in the Twelve Worlds, so she provided Lin Sanjiu with a lot of missing information. Both of them chatted as they walked, and soon, they arrived at the exit of the orangery. The forest in front of them was getting thinner, and there were a few shops and residences scattered around, forming a small but lively village. Lin Sanjiu stopped at the exit and looked around, but she did not see the person who collected the fees.
"Huh?" Bohemia widened her eyes. Her long eyelashes flickered a few times, "I remember that person sitting here. Where did he go?"
Both of them looked around, but they found nothing except a few oranges. Since no one collected the fees, they decided not to pay. Lin Sanjiu found a checkpoint in the town, and after they signed in, they left the town and walked into the wilderness, where the terrain kept rising. When night fell, they were already deep in the mountains, and they could no longer hear any human voices.
The mountains at night were like the deep sea, and the chill was getting stronger and stronger. It was so dark that Lin Sanjiu couldn't see anything. Just when Lin Sanjiu was about to take out her [Ability Polishing Agent], Bohemia took out something, and the darkness around them was instantly dispelled. Lin Sanjiu looked up and saw a few glowing "fishes" swimming in the darkness. They followed Bohemia's footsteps and illuminated the path ahead.
Under the soft light cast by the fishes, Bohemia finally looked a little bit like how she looked when they first met.
"This is a good place to kill someone and dump the body," Bohemia said, but the moment she opened her mouth, her charm disappeared. "Why is your house here? Are you lying to me?"
Lin Sanjiu ignored her. If she had to respond to Bohemia's every word, she would have died of exhaustion.
"How far do we have to go?"
"Soon."
"You said it was soon thirty minutes ago."
"It's really soon."
Unexpectedly, after a while, Bohemia thought of a new topic, "Didn't you say you are going to ask Si … Si something to come with us to the Astral Plane?"
"I will try to contact him when I get back."
"Try? Can you contact him or not? "
"Yes, I can."
"Then, you can contact him now," Bohemia had learned from her mistake, so she stopped walking, "You don't have to wait until we get home."
Lin Sanjiu felt a headache coming on. She had parted ways with Silvan in a hurry, so she didn't leave any way to contact him. Initially, she wanted to find out his whereabouts through the Mokugyo Forum after she had settled down, but now, where was she going to find him?
However, Bohemia refused to let Lin Sanjiu off. She refused to move forward until Lin Sanjiu contacted Silvan. It was as if she wanted to use this to verify the authenticity of Lin Sanjiu's words. That expression of hers was really annoying. "Why aren't you moving? You must be lying to me, right? "
Lin Sanjiu had no choice but to continue fooling Bohemia.
Lin Sanjiu called out a [Hello, sister?] card. She turned it into a card. This Special Item looked like a standard communicator, so no one would misunderstand its function. Lin Sanjiu held the communicator in her hand and waved it at Bohemia, "See? I can use this to contact him. Wait for me when I get home. I will talk to him — "
Before Bohemia could finish her sentence, a long call echoed in the night sky.
For a moment, Lin Sanjiu thought she had accidentally touched the call button. However, half a second later, she realized it was the communicator in her hand that was ringing.
"What's wrong? Is it Si something?" Bohemia rushed forward, "Answer it. Why is your face so pale —"
Lin Sanjiu reached out and pressed her face against it. She stopped the latter half of her sentence, and it turned into a series of muffled sounds.
Bohemia scratched Lin Sanjiu a few times as she struggled. Lin Sanjiu was already flustered by the ringing of the communicator, so she didn't have the time to deal with Bohemia. She quickly took out the controller and canceled the camouflage projection around them. The dense and oppressive old forest instantly twisted and disappeared into the ground, leaving behind a thick layer of mist in the barren mountain.
Staring at the shadow of the ring on the mountain peak in the distance, Bohemia gaped and froze.
"Do you see that white ring?" Lin Sanjiu raised her chin and gestured toward the distance, "You go first. I'll catch up with you later."
"What about you?"
The communicator rang again. The blue light spots flickered rhythmically in the night sky. The moment she took out the communicator, she received a call from Ji Shanqing. "Does this mean that he has been trying to contact me all this time?"
"I'll go as soon as I answer the call!" Once Lin Sanjiu thought that she might miss the grand prize again, she didn't want to be polite anymore. She was so nervous and terrified that her palms were sweating. She couldn't understand why she would be so flustered when they were so close in the past.
Bohemia's face fell when she heard Lin Sanjiu's yell. She muttered, "I don't care about you." Then, she turned and left. As soon as Bohemia's footsteps disappeared, Lin Sanjiu leaped up a tree beside her. She sat on the branch and took a deep breath. Then, she answered the call.
The cold and quiet air of the night floated around him. There was no sound from the other end of the communicator. It was as if the person on the other end was in a state of disbelief.
He couldn't believe his eyes. "Did the call finally go through?
I must talk to him. This time, I must talk to him. "Lin Sanjiu mustered her courage and asked in a hoarse voice," Is it the grand prize? "
After a few seconds, she once again heard that clear, spring-like voice.
"Sis?"
Lin Sanjiu hugged the communication device tightly to her chest and bent down.
"It's me," she said anxiously. Tears welled up in her eyes. "It's me. Are you okay? Are you okay? "
"I'm fine. I'm fine."
Lin Sanjiu rubbed her eyes and took a deep breath. She couldn't help smiling even though Ji Shanqing couldn't see it. "I'm glad that you're fine … I tried to contact you last time, but no one answered. I thought your battle wasn't going well."
Ji Shanqing paused for a moment and said, "Maybe I didn't hear you."
"Is that so … That's good, that's good."
The silence lasted for another two to three seconds. Then, Ji Shanqing's familiar voice came from the speaker, "Where are you now?"
Lin Sanjiu slowly straightened her body and looked at the communicator in her arms. After staring at it for a few seconds, she asked hesitantly, "Do you want to know my exact location?"
"Yes. You want to know your exact location."
