"It's me, Sis. What's wrong? "
Lin Sanjiu's clear voice flowed through the chilly night like the gurgling of spring water. However, before her voice could fade away, Lin Sanjiu abruptly hung up the communicator. The blue dot on the communicator dimmed, and it did not have the energy to light up again. Due to the long distance, the communicator's lifespan had come to an end.
Lin Sanjiu turned the communicator around and looked at it a few times. Then, she raised her hand and threw it into the forest.
She jumped down from the tree and walked toward Exodus. Lin Sanjiu felt as if she had been soaked in ice water, and the feeling in her chest grew heavier and heavier.
'What should I do next? '
'Should I take out another communicator and call back?
'What if the one who answers is — 'No, that's not right.' Lin Sanjiu suddenly realized something and stopped herself from thinking.
That was indeed her grand prize's voice. There was no way she was mistaken. Of course, if she considered the worst-case scenario, such as Ji Shanqing losing his communicator, it would not be difficult for the Veda to imitate his voice.
Even if the other party was really the Veda, what was their purpose? Why would they care about her whereabouts?
She had already escaped from the Data Stream Library, so they had no reason to be so obsessed with her.
Lin Sanjiu thought about the communicator that rang the moment she deactivated it. Who else in this world would call her so persistently and persistently, other than her grand prize?
'That's what I said, but why did I feel that something is not right? 'Lin Sanjiu thought to herself as she walked toward Exodus.
Lin Sanjiu let her imagination run wild as she walked up the mountain toward Exodus. Even though she did not summon her [Ability Polishing Agent], after deactivating her Camouflage Projection, the moonlight illuminated the fog and the mountain path. Coupled with the few glowing fishes in the sky, Lin Sanjiu quickly approached Bohemia with steady steps.
Exodus was perched on a mountain rock that extended outward like an arm. Bohemia was standing directly below it, looking up. Her neck was stretched so far that she could not even close her mouth.
Hearing Lin Sanjiu's footsteps, Bohemia turned her head. Initially, she did not seem to want to talk to Lin Sanjiu. However, after she studied Lin Sanjiu for a while, she couldn't help asking, "Why do you look like that?"
Lin Sanjiu knew that it was pointless to talk to her. She didn't have the mood to talk at all, so she shook her head with a sullen face.
"Is that Si not allowed to come?"
"… It's not him."
Lin Sanjiu wiped her face tiredly. Even her voice had become hoarse, "Let's go. I'll bring you back."
Perhaps Bohemia sensed Lin Sanjiu's emotions, for she was extremely quiet for the rest of the journey. However, her silence did not last long. The closer they got to Exodus, the harder it became for her to hold it in. Finally, the moment Silas opened the door, her silence shattered into pieces. The light that shone through the door illuminated Bohemia's incredulous expression. She plunged into the door and looked at the two floating cockpits that were waiting for them. Her face flushed. "No way! You're lying! "
Even though Lin Sanjiu was still worried about her grand prize, she couldn't help laughing at Bohemia's reaction. "Let's go. It will bring you to your room."
When Bohemia saw her room, her eyes glistened with tears as if she was about to cry. Lin Sanjiu's face was flushed, but she had to maintain her composure. She paced back and forth in the room for a few minutes. She touched the table, the bed, the bookshelf, the bathtub, and all the other furniture. Finally, with much difficulty, she gave Lin Sanjiu an affirmative answer, "I … I didn't expect you to be so rich."
Lin Sanjiu smiled bitterly. She didn't even want to bicker with Bohemia anymore.
"It's all because of one person," Bohemia patted the door frame, "Without him, there would be no Exodus."
"Who?"
Lin Sanjiu sighed. In the end, she didn't say anything.
Bohemia raised her eyebrows, but she quickly tossed the matter to the back of her mind. She had other things to do. She took out a magnifying glass from her pocket and held it in front of her eyes. Then, she examined the cupboard in the room carefully, "This is a Phantom Detector. If there's anything suspicious, you can't hide it from me. So, don't even think about it … Hey, what's this? "
"Grapes."
"What are grapes?"
"They are fruits. They are delicious."
Bohemia seemed to have swallowed her words. "What are fruits?" She picked up the plate of grapes and examined it carefully. Then, she frowned, "Are they edible? It's disgusting to hear you purr and purr. "
Poor children born in the Twelve Worlds Centrum.
Lin Sanjiu picked two grapes and put them into her mouth. Then, she turned around and walked out of the room. She didn't forget to close the door for Bohemia.
Later, Lin Sanjiu heard from Silas that Bohemia was scalded by the bathwater and couldn't sleep the whole night because she was fascinated by the music player in the room. Overall, she quickly adapted to the highest achievement of civilization before the destruction of human society. With the nourishment of food and sleep, she looked like she was glowing.
When it was time for Lin Sanjiu to go out to check in and gather information, Lin Sanjiu would still go out. Even if she was left alone in Exodus, Lin Sanjiu wasn't worried. Not to mention that Bohemia didn't have a high authority in the System, even if she registered herself as a Deacon, she still wouldn't know how to operate a spaceship, let alone escape.
What worried Lin Sanjiu the most was that ever since she spoke to her grand prize that night, her communicator never rang again.
She tried to call her grand prize, but no matter how long she waited, she could only hear his monotonous voice echoing in her ears. That call of "sister" seemed to be a dream she had that night.
That short call had tortured her for a few nights. In the end, she had no choice but to suppress her worry. She had no other choice but to believe in her grand prize. She believed that he had the ability to protect her. Otherwise, what else could she do?
If she could do it all over again, she definitely wouldn't let her grand prize stay behind alone.
After a few days of check-in, the merchants in the small town outside of Orange Grove were already familiar with this "middle-aged man". While she was checking in, she also asked around in the town. Even though there wasn't a "Mokugyo Forum", there was an information exchange system. Compared to the central district, the information exchange system was slower, but it was still sufficient.
"I haven't heard anything about the matter you asked me about recently."
After signing in, Lin Sanjiu strolled to a tavern nearby. As soon as Lin Sanjiu sat down, the skinny tavern owner shouted. He was an unevolved human, and in order to keep the tavern running, he did almost everything on the side. "The central area is very unstable, especially around Black's Market. There are teams of people patrolling every day, and the atmosphere is very depressing."
"Teams of people? Who are they? "
"Ahem, I don't know. I only know that they are from the Twelve Organization. At least, a few gangs are involved. They sent out almost a hundred posthumans and planted their eyes everywhere. This isn't something that anyone can do. "
Lin Sanjiu knew that every piece of information that the tavern owner told her was for money. She grabbed a handful of red crystals, which was worth far more than the price of the wine, and handed it to him. "Do you know why they are doing this?"
Even if Luther's personalities found out that she was still alive, they wouldn't be able to send out such a large force to search for her.
"I don't know. I asked them, but they almost beat me up," the skinny tavern owner said. He rubbed his neck and frowned. "However, I heard some news from someone else."
"Oh?"
After the tavern owner received the money, he acted very quickly. He placed a plate of appetizers on the table and leaned over to Lin Sanjiu. He lowered his voice and said, "It seems that there have been a lot of incidents happening within the Twelve Organization recently. I don't know the details, but they seem to have a target. They are chasing someone … I asked a few people, but they all have their own story. No one can tell who the organization is after. "
