When the metal smashed into the cement floor, the crisp sound suddenly woke up the curtain of the night, and the echo spread far and wide.
The flashlight, which was covered with totemic patterns, bounced a few times on the ground and rolled down the slope. Finally, it stopped at the entrance of the medical station. The body of the flashlight rolled back and forth a few times, and the originally dark head of the flashlight suddenly lit up, casting an orange-yellow glow at the entrance.
"Are there words appearing in the circle of light?"
Lin Sanjiu broke out in a cold sweat just from staring at the flashlight rolling down the slope for a few seconds. She could also hear Mrs. Manas panting heavily in her head. After all, Lin Sanjiu was dangling unsteadily in mid-air. She was hanging on the edge of the rooftop with her Higher Consciousness.
When she leaped off the rooftop and was hanging in mid-air, she only glanced down once before she twisted her body in mid-air. She wanted to grab the edge of the rooftop again, but it was too late. She couldn't reach the edge of the rooftop. In the blink of an eye, she was already halfway down. Just as she was about to fall, Lin Sanjiu quickly released a surge of Higher Consciousness and caught herself.
"Luckily, I've done a lot of Higher Consciousness training recently. My Higher Consciousness should be strong enough," Lin Sanjiu thought.
"I can't hold on for long like this …" Mrs. Manas was the only connection between Lin Sanjiu and the rooftop. Her voice was trembling, "What did you see just now? What should we do next? "
Lin Sanjiu didn't know what she saw just now.
Before she leaped off the rooftop, she took a quick glance downstairs. However, the moment she was in mid-air, the barren parterre, the cement floor, and half of the fence suddenly shook.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't describe what she saw at that moment. If she had to make an analogy, it was as if there were two translucent slides superimposed on each other. When she leaped off the rooftop, one of the slides moved slightly outward, forming a double image for a split second. Then, it shrank back immediately.
If it was someone else, they would have fallen to the ground the moment they suspected that they were seeing things. However, Lin Sanjiu's reflexes were so fast that it was hard for an ordinary person to catch up with her. In the blink of an eye, she twisted her body and released a surge of Higher Consciousness. When she steadied herself, her grip loosened, and the flashlight fell to the ground and rolled toward the entrance of the hospital.
At this moment, she was hanging between the third and second floor. Beside her was a gray wall, which coincidentally avoided the windows on the left and right. "Thank goodness I'm not stuck in front of a window …" When Lin Sanjiu thought of this, she pressed her legs against the wall and asked while panting, "Can I lengthen my higher consciousness? This way, I can climb down bit by bit. "
"It's not a problem to lengthen it. I just need to inject more Willpower." Mrs. Manas gritted her teeth as she spoke, "But … what if there's no difference between climbing down and falling down?"
She couldn't possibly hang here for the whole night. Her Willpower wouldn't be able to last that long.
"I can speculate that there are two environments waiting for me below."
Lin Sanjiu closed her eyes. She could feel sweat trickling down her skin. "One is the normal one, the one that I walked into … The other one behaves exactly the same as the flashlight. Right now, it's lurking below and even moving a little."
Lin Sanjiu's explanation was a little messy, but it didn't stop Mrs. Manas from understanding it quickly.
"How do I know which one I entered?"
Lin Sanjiu opened her eyes and looked around in the dark. From this angle, she could only see a dim yellow flashlight from the corner of the building. The area it could illuminate was limited, and most of the scenery was engulfed in darkness.
However, even if the flashlight could illuminate the area as bright as day, Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to trust it anymore.
"What kind of way to survive is this? This is more like a trap! "
Lin Sanjiu stared fixedly at the flashlight. She was angry and confused at the same time. That was definitely a Special Item, but how could a Special Item have the ability to "trap others"? Would anyone believe that the fountain pen he was writing with would suddenly jump up and stab into his eyes?
As the thought crossed her mind, she suddenly noticed that at the edge of the boundary between the flashlight and the darkness of the night, a silhouette emerged silently. The silhouette was thin and light. Her long, curly, golden-brown hair shimmered like waves under the flashlight. Despite the number of bracelets and necklaces on her body, she didn't make any sound.
Like a cat that had spotted a mouse from afar, Bohemia slowly walked forward.
"She … She seems happy." Even though Lin Sanjiu was so far away, she didn't think that she could mistake the glint in Bohemia's eyes when she spotted her prey. She followed Bohemia's gaze and suddenly understood what was going on.
"Bohemia!"
Lin Sanjiu didn't care if the thing in the building could hear her. She shouted, "Bohemia! Don't move! Don't go any further! "
The figure immediately stopped in his tracks.
"Lin … Lin Sanjiu?" She seemed to be shocked. She looked around, "Where are you?"
"After you turn the corner, go around the door and look up!"
Bohemia took two steps back. When she raised her head, she saw Lin Sanjiu. "What are you doing? Are you trying to peep into the ward? "
"Stop joking!"
Lin Sanjiu yelled at her. She felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders. Her original worry wasn't true. Bohemia could still see her!
As long as Bohemia could see her and touch her, she might be able to borrow her power to return to the real world.
"Wait a minute. I think there's a Special Item here. I'll go and pick it up." Lin Sanjiu didn't have the time to do that for half a second, and the woman was already moving toward the door. "Don't touch it!"
"Why?"
"There's something wrong with that thing. I suspect it's the thing that forced me into this situation!"
Lin Sanjiu's words finally stopped Bohemia from moving forward. She looked at the yellow light at the door suspiciously and asked hesitantly, "How … How could it be?"
"Is there a word in the circle?"
"Yes, there is," Bohemia took a step back cautiously. "It says' Directional Flashlight '. This must be a Special Item, right? "
That flashlight was definitely tempting someone to pick it up.
"No matter what, don't touch it. No, you're too close to the infirmary. Move back a little. That's right. Think of a way to get me down there," Lin Sanjiu shouted. Bohemia, who had retreated some distance away, suddenly froze. Then, she tensed up as if she had entered a defensive state. "What's wrong?"
