Lin Sanjiu immediately jumped out of the fire. When she signaled Bohemia to retreat into the darkness of the church corridor, the "hypersensory" spread its tentacles in all directions at the same time. However, there was no sign of anyone coming from the air web captured by the hypersensory.
She waited quietly for a few seconds, feeling dizzy from the severe cold. Finally, she raised her head and looked up.
"Wait." Puppeteer had no intention of hiding his presence at all. His cold voice echoed in the dark church.
'How did he know that someone is coming? '
Lin Sanjiu and Bohemia looked at each other and saw the same doubt in each other's eyes.
Lin Sanjiu gestured to Bohemia to stay where she was while she slowly crept toward the entrance of the church. The remnant of the door was now slightly ajar, allowing the chilly night breeze to flow in. Looking through the gap, Lin Sanjiu could only see a sea of shadows of various shapes and sizes, but she did not see anyone moving.
Lin Sanjiu was very sure that she did not make any sound. However, when she slowly pushed the door open, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. Unfortunately, she was one step too late. When she realized that there was indeed a silent "presence" that seemed to have melted into the darkness on the other side of the door, a strong gust of wind suddenly blew the door open.
Lin Sanjiu's senses and consciousness were hit head-on by the strong gust of wind. Lin Sanjiu couldn't remember when was the last time she was so frightened. At that moment, she felt as if her soul was about to be swept out of her body by the gust of wind. She didn't even have the time to scream. She quickly stomped on the ground and swept the [Tornado Whip] in her hand across the floor. Stepping on the gust of wind that she created in a hurry, she somersaulted and leaped high into the air.
The turbulence caused by the collision of the two gusts of wind instantly extinguished the orange glow in the bonfire, plunging the church into deep darkness again.
The sudden darkness caused Lin Sanjiu, who had just landed, and the person who rushed in through the door to be temporarily "blinded". Before their eyes could adjust to the darkness, they stopped moving at the same time. It was a wise decision, but unfortunately, it didn't help Lin Sanjiu at all. At that moment, she felt a tingling sensation in her nostrils. Before she could say, "Oh no!", she sneezed loudly.
When she opened her eyes again and sniffed, the attack from the person had already followed the sound and arrived in front of her.
"Useless."
Amidst the swirling dust and sand, Puppeteer's emotionless voice cut through the air like an ice blade. He remained motionless, sitting calmly in his net, not even a single disease was thrown out.
Lin Sanjiu didn't even have the time to be angry at the culprit.
It had been a long time since she had encountered such a powerful and precise opponent who had forced her into a desperate situation. Under the overwhelming force of the wind, she felt like she was a puppet tied up by a string of straw ropes. With just one hit, she would immediately fall apart and shatter into pieces on the spot.
In a moment of desperation, Lin Sanjiu took a step back. As if her memory had been awakened, she instinctively turned her arm. The vortex that she had learned from Hei Zeji suddenly bared its fangs in the dark of the night. It tore through the wind that the man had conjured and blocked his way. The man seemed to be startled. He stopped his movement abruptly. Just as the vortex was about to swallow him, he leaped backward and dodged the attack by brushing past the vortex.
Lin Sanjiu was filled with regret and fear. She took two steps back and summoned her [Individualized Teaching]. Then, she squeezed a hoarse voice out of her swollen throat, "Who are you?"
Even she herself did not quite understand what she was saying.
As her eyes adapted to the darkness, a tall figure gradually emerged from the darkness in front of her. The man did not seem to have any intention of talking to her. He just moved his shoulders and neck casually. His piercing gaze was fixed on the spot where Lin Sanjiu was standing. Even when the whirlpool disappeared not far away from him, he didn't even bat an eyelid.
If it was in the past, Lin Sanjiu's competitive spirit would have been aroused. However, her brain was in a mess right now. She was not in a position to fight with such a dangerous person.
"Puppeteer," she called out in a nasal voice, "Aren't you going to move?"
Before her voice faded away, the tall figure suddenly tilted his head.
"I'm injured."
"I really don't know what's going on in this person's head."
Lin Sanjiu cursed inwardly. She stared at the person in front of her.
Suddenly, an idea struck her. Perhaps, she had a chance to defeat the person when he least expected it … If everything went well.
She sniffed her nose hard, and with a kick of her foot, she pounced on the figure. The person did not seem to be bothered by such a simple attack. Not only did he not dodge, but he also waved his hand. The sound of a gun being unlocked rang out in the dark.
Lin Sanjiu crouched. When the fake [Ability Polishing Agent] flew toward her waist, a series of flames tore through the darkness above her head. Half of the church was instantly illuminated by the flames. As the light flickered, Lin Sanjiu rolled on the ground and stepped into the extinguished fire. Fortunately, she managed to avoid the gunfire.
Seizing the moment when the gunfire stopped, Lin Sanjiu raised her head and saw the person dodging the silver bottle. However, Lin Sanjiu had already unscrewed the cap when she threw the bottle. The silver paint in the bottle splashed everywhere and landed on the person's back.
It was as good as leaving a mark on the person.
"Bohemia!" Lin Sanjiu yelled, "Net!"
Despite Bohemia's usual calm demeanor, she was quick to react at critical moments. Before her voice trailed off, a sea of starlight appeared in the air. The silver net illuminated half of the cathedral and the person under the net. For a moment, the luster of the person's golden hair was breathtaking.
Lin Sanjiu leaped to her feet, suspecting that she was hallucinating because of her bad cold.
"What a coincidence!"
