"What do you mean by a person is standing up in the circle of light?"
Lin Sanjiu was taken aback. Perhaps she was distracted, but the Higher Consciousness that hooked her to the rooftop was almost severed. She plummeted to the ground, and her heart almost fell out of her mouth. She quickly steadied herself and asked, "What happened? What's going on?"
"That … That humanoid projection!"
Bohemia yelled from afar. Her voice was filled with surprise and confusion. "He's looking at me … Ah! He's coming!"
"Get back! Get away from here!" Lin Sanjiu's heart tightened. She yelled at Bohemia, "I don't think he can walk out of the circle of light. Get back into the darkness!"
As soon as Lin Sanjiu's voice trailed off, Bohemia leaped backward and disappeared into the darkness between the light and the shadow. Like a piece of ice melting in the water, even Lin Sanjiu couldn't see where Bohemia was hiding.
When she turned her head again, she saw the shape of a person slowly emerging from the orange-yellow light that shone through the door at the corner. Apparently, the flashlight was aimed at the door of the medical station. From Lin Sanjiu's angle, she could only see the figure on the ground slowly raising one leg and walking out.
When the figure walked out of the corner, Lin Sanjiu finally saw it clearly. The figure was dressed like an ancient tribal chief. Judging from the blurry outline, it should be a man. Seeing that the shadow chief was still walking forward, Lin Sanjiu's heart was in her throat. She shouted, "Hey!"
The man formed by light stopped in his tracks and slowly turned around.
"What the hell are you?" Lin Sanjiu just wanted to distract the shadow chief as much as she could, "Isn't that flashlight a Special Item?"
The "chief" stood there silently. His face was covered by a black shadow, and an orange-yellow flashlight shone from his two "eyes".
The information read by the [Planar World] would usually not be wrong. Even if someone wanted to disguise something as a Special Item, it would be clearly written on the card.
Just as Lin Sanjiu bit her lip and was filled with doubts, a low whistle pierced through the air. The thing that made the whistle was faster than the speed of sound. Before Lin Sanjiu could get a clear look, a small object had already torn through the air where the "chief" was. When the light and shadow twisted and flickered, the small object that was glowing with silver light turned around and rushed back to the "chief". Once again, the "chief" was torn apart. Finally, it plunged into Bohemia's hand and disappeared.
"What are you doing?" Lin Sanjiu yelled, "Didn't I tell you to hide?"
"If I encounter something strange, of course I have to fight it." Bohemia replied confidently. Somehow, she had reappeared from the shadows. "You see, it's so weak. It's just dispersing... Huh?"
Lin Sanjiu didn't need to ask Bohemia what had happened. The shadow of the "chief" gradually gathered back into a human shape.
This time, before Lin Sanjiu could shout, Bohemia turned around and ran away. The "chief" raised its head and looked at Lin Sanjiu's back. It stood at the edge of the light circle for a while, but it seemed that it really couldn't get out. Finally, it turned around and walked back to the entrance of the medical station.
Lin Sanjiu let out a long sigh of relief.
After the "chief" disappeared around the corner, the flashlight suddenly dimmed, leaving only the faint starlight to illuminate the darkness. After a few seconds of waiting in the dark, she heard Bohemia's low voice, "The man is gone!" Bohemia's voice came from nowhere.
"Nonsense. The light has gone out," Lin Sanjiu said grumpily, "I need you to help me get down, but you can't walk over."
"Why?"
"When I jumped down just now, I saw the flowerbed here … move a little. It's like … like I'm seeing double. "
Bohemia was silent for two seconds as if she was digesting Lin Sanjiu's words.
"I don't know what's going on … But, jumping down?" Lin Sanjiu thought for a while and asked, "Why did you jump down?"
"I picked up the flashlight that led the way, and it led me all the way to the rooftop. According to the information in the light circle, other than jumping down, there was no other way out. "
Bohemia pondered for a moment.
"You're saying that there's something wrong with this flower bed, and this flashlight deliberately lured you down to frame you? Is that why you're hanging there? "
"Yes, that's it."
Lin Sanjiu thought that Bohemia was thinking about something important, but the moment she finished her sentence, the female voice in the dark immediately replied, "Then I have to stay away from you."
"Stop right there!"
Lin Sanjiu was so angry that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You have to help me get down!"
"How?"
"Where are you now?"
The more dangerous the situation was, the calmer and clearer some people were. Lin Sanjiu was one of them. Not long after the "chief" appeared, Lin Sanjiu had an idea in her mind.
"... What?" Bohemia still refused to step forward.
"When I call for you, you need to light up so that I know where you are. It must be where you are!"
"Why should I help you?" Bohemia grumbled. "Then hurry up! I don't want to stay in this stupid place anymore. "
Lin Sanjiu responded. She released a strand of Higher Consciousness from her right hand and controlled it to coil around the higher consciousness that was hanging her. "Can you handle it?" Lin Sanjiu asked Mrs. Manas, "Even if you can't, you have to!"
"Come on!" Mrs. Manas said through gritted teeth.
"Okay!"
As soon as Lin Sanjiu said that, she kicked the wall with all her might. When her body was lifted into the air, she released more Higher Consciousness from her right hand. With more raw materials, the "rope" that was hanging her became longer. Like a pendulum, Lin Sanjiu was swung into the air and threw herself at the wall again.
The second time, when she stepped on the wall, she increased her strength and released a new part of her Willpower. As the "rope" became longer, the pushing force increased. Lin Sanjiu was thrown further away. She repeated this a few more times. When Lin Sanjiu was about to reach the highest point of the curve, Mrs. Manas' voice told her that it was time.
"Now!" Lin Sanjiu shouted as she swung herself high into the air.
Immediately, a string of sparks appeared in the darkness. Mars was still some distance away from the medical station building and even further away from the flower bed. Lin Sanjiu cut off her Higher Consciousness while she was still in the air. She was no longer connected to the rooftop. If she fell straight down, she would fall right into the flower bed.
"Mrs. Manas, use all your Higher Consciousness!"
The thought flashed across Lin Sanjiu's mind. Then, she found the right direction and swung both of her hands behind her.

"Catch me!" Lin Sanjiu shouted with all her might. She didn't know if Mrs. Manas could hear her voice amidst the loud noise of the building collapsing behind her.
"I don't want to!"
Apparently, Bohemia heard her. Two glowing fishes appeared in the night sky. They seemed to be trying to escape. "You will crush —"
Before Bohemia could finish her sentence, Lin Sanjiu had already smashed into her face. Bohemia screamed, but she couldn't dodge in time. She was knocked down by Lin Sanjiu and her ankle was caught by Lin Sanjiu. The two fish were very clever. They suddenly swam up a bit and avoided the fate of rolling on the ground with their masters.
"Are you crazy?!" Bohemia's angry and nasal voice rang out relentlessly, "Let go of me! Let me get up!"
Lin Sanjiu was also in a daze from the fall. She grabbed Bohemia's ankle and turned her head around to take a quick glance. She found that the wall of the building that was hit was crooked. The dark silhouette of the wall looked like a cardboard box that had been drenched in water.
Now that Lin Sanjiu had caught Bohemia, it meant that she had returned to the real world. As soon as Lin Sanjiu let go of her ankle, she heard Bohemia gasp in a low voice.
"What's wrong?" Lin Sanjiu asked. Suddenly, an orange-yellow light shone behind her. Lin Sanjiu was very familiar with the light. She turned her head and found that the flashlight was shining directly at her from afar. She had to squint her eyes.
"Wait a minute," Lin Sanjiu suddenly realized. "Why is it so bright?"
The flashlight was pointed at the inside of the medical station, so it shouldn't have shone directly into her eyes. Even though it only took her a moment to figure out what was going on, it was impossible for a human to move faster than light. Before the two of them could react, a figure suddenly rose from the circle of light in front of them and enveloped them in the blink of an eye.
Just when Lin Sanjiu was about to activate her [Defense Forcefield], she was shocked to find that her Higher Consciousness had been depleted. Bohemia's counterattack wasn't slow either. Several spots of starlight rushed forward and weaved a net in the night sky. Almost at the same time, the two of them leaped backward.
The net missed its target. It passed through the "chief" and fell to the ground with a thud. The "chief" did not grab them either, but it wasn't because he was slow. He had already brushed past the two of them. His speed was almost as fast as the speed of light. However, his target was not the two of them.
The two of them froze on the spot. With their heads turned, they looked at the "chief" behind them. Their faces darkened.
"I... I can't run," Bohemia said in a trembling voice.
"Because he has grabbed our shadow's leg," Lin Sanjiu sighed heavily. "If we destroy the light source, our shadow will disappear —"
