She raised her hand and used her [Defense Forcefield] to block the incoming meteors. At the same time, Lin Sanjiu heard a few soft footsteps behind her as the white light splashed in all directions. She was surrounded by the members of the Munitions Factory alone, and her closest companion was still in the thin tower high in the sky. When Li Wensu Jiang's shadow flashed across her vision, she hurriedly put a small box on her chest and shouted, "Stop!"
Including the time she used it in the Sanctuary, she only had one more chance to use this ability that she stole from Creature No. 1.
As expected, Levensu stopped abruptly. The glimmer on one of his arms dimmed quickly. Unfortunately, this ability could only target one person. When Lin Sanjiu's [Defense Forcefield] lit up on her back, another ability or something else happened to bite into her defense forcefield.
Her Higher Consciousness was instantly depleted by that attack. The pain pierced through her [Defense Forcefield] and made her gasp involuntarily.
"Tell them to stop!"
Levensu raised his head. There was a look of resistance in his eyes under his black hair. "Stop," he said in the end, as if he couldn't believe it himself.
The footsteps stopped not far behind her. Lin Sanjiu could almost imagine the expression on the faces of the members of the Munitions Factory.
"I'm not the enemy." Lin Sanjiu panted and walked slowly to his side. She whispered into his ear, "Tell them."
"She's not the enemy."
"Tell them to disperse," Lin Sanjiu said. She looked up at the tower in the sky. At this moment, there was no sound coming from the tower. It floated quietly in the night sky. No, she couldn't force them to retreat. The members of the Munitions Factory were on the edge of suspicion and obedience. She had to keep them obedient. "No, let them split up according to the original plan and wait for the next order," Levensu said.
Li Wensu Jiang did as he was told and patted her shoulder as if they were old friends. The footsteps behind her hesitated for a moment before they finally dispersed. Only the leader of the group glanced at Lin Sanjiu a few more times. He seemed to be a little bothered by the uniform she was wearing.
"Listen up," Lin Sanjiu said in a low voice when she was sure that no one could hear her. "Believe it or not, I don't mean you any harm."
A fine line appeared between Li Wensu Jiang's eyebrows.
"Or rather, I have no enmity towards the person who split you." Lin Sanjiu stared at his dark eyes without blinking. She wondered what level he had reached. Was he a "fake blood, fake flesh", or was he like Septimus, who was close to a real person? "I know who you are, I know Luther, and I've seen Septimus. I also know that the Twelve wants to kill me … If you weren't one of the Twelve, I wouldn't care about your life at all," Feng Bujue said.
Li Wensu Jiang was still frowning as he tried to open his mouth. When he realized that he could still speak without an order, he paused for a moment before opening his mouth cautiously.
"Why?"
"Regardless of whether you guys have the concept of death or not, I guess there are a lot of things that you guys don't like. For example, being stabbed in the heart or being made into a Special Item. If I didn't stop you, I'm afraid you wouldn't like what happened to you tonight. "Lin Sanjiu paused and shot a quick glance at the thin tower in the sky.
Following her gaze, Li Wensu Jiang also looked at the commander's tower. He thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "I got it. That intruder is Silvan, right? I've been waiting for him ever since he disappeared, but I didn't expect him to come back so soon. So … because you know Luther and Septimus, you don't want me to die in his hands. Even though you guys came here together, you have your own goals. "
This was also the reason why Lin Sanjiu decided to come here alone. She remembered clearly that Silvan had done some research on Levensu, and he found out that Levensu was someone who "had no past and appeared out of nowhere". She wanted to protect Li Wensu Jiang and find Luther through him, but she didn't want to risk letting Silvan know that Luther was the source of the barrier between him and the Munitions Factory.
Even though his attitude toward her was a little strange, she didn't think that she was powerful enough to make him give up on the Munitions Factory and give up fighting against the 12 personalities.
"Yes." Lin Sanjiu let out a sigh and looked back. She could feel gazes falling on her back from time to time from afar. "I don't know what Silvan's goal is, but I'm sure that people like you who go against him won't feel good. Do you really think that you can fight against him with your combat power? "
Li Wensu Jiang didn't show any emotion in the face of this provocation. In fact, he seemed to be even calmer than before. He stared at her with his dark eyes. "No, he has never shown his true strength because he has never needed it."
"Then, let's make a deal." Lin Sanjiu followed his words and said, "You bring me to Luther. I will help you escape tonight."
"You seem to have too much confidence in your friend." The man in front of her waved his hand as if he wanted to reject her suggestion. "Of course, I can't fight him alone. But now, he's facing the entire Munitions Factory, and he's alone."
"You're wrong." These words seemed to stun him for a moment. Lin Sanjiu looked at the Commander's Tower and retracted her gaze. "He is not alone."
"Even if you —"
"And you."
Li Wensu Jiang looked at her, but he didn't know what to say. Lin Sanjiu turned around and gestured with her hand. More and more members of the Munitions Factory gathered around the Commander's Tower when they heard the alarm. They surrounded the Commander's Tower tightly. A few people who looked like leaders were giving orders from afar. They seemed to be organizing people to climb the tower. As the voices grew louder and the lights shone brightly, no one paid attention to Lin Sanjiu anymore. If this had happened a few minutes ago, she would have found a way to sneak into the tower. At that time, she didn't know where Li Wensu Jiang was, so she had to follow Silvan. However, she didn't have to do that now.
"Do you see your companions?" Lin Sanjiu asked softly, "They are crowding here in circles, thinking that their backs are exposed to their own people. I just need to order you to start killing. In less than two minutes, you will be able to share half of Silvan's burden."
These words finally made Li Wensu Jiang's face turn cold. He thought carefully for a few seconds and raised his eyebrows. He asked quietly, "I don't understand. You can order me to tell you his location."
Lin Sanjiu raised her eyes and looked at him from head to toe. "Tell me where he is?" She chuckled. "Are you testing me? I know more than you think, so I know that I need someone to bring me there. Only then can I reach his location. "
Li Wensu Jiang nodded silently and sighed softly. "Then, why didn't you order me to bring you there?"
"You should know that all abilities have limitations." Lin Sanjiu didn't plan to hide anything. "The limitations of my ability are … the time and the number of times I can use it."
Of course, she could order Li Wensu Jiang to lead the way for her, but she couldn't leave her companion alone in the war, even if that person was Silvan.
"I get it. How long can it last? "
"You know I won't tell you." She shrugged. She felt a lingering pain in her back. "All you need to know is that before this mess ends, you can attack these people from the Munitions Factory at any time. Besides, I really can't think of any harm to you from this deal … Unless you are worried that 12 will find out about it? "
The corners of Li Wensu Jiang's mouth curled up, forming an extremely small smile. "That sounds good, but I'm curious. How are you going to ensure that I keep my promise?"
"Let's put it this way." Lin Sanjiu smiled at him. "You can think of it as me investing in your reputation … Investments are risky."
She didn't expect Li Wensu Jiang to believe her, but she didn't want to reveal her trump card too early. She still wanted to give Li Wensu Jiang the last "order". Li Wensu Jiang's words made him silent for a moment. Then, he flashed a row of straight white teeth and said softly, "Deal."
Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, he asked again, "What do you plan to do now? He is in the tower, and you are down there … Even if I agree to your deal, I can't help you fight your way out. Even if I want to, I can't do it. "
"It's simple."
Lin Sanjiu called out a [Mask] and returned it to its card form before handing it to him. With just two words, Li Wensu Jiang put it on almost without any resistance, turning into a plain-looking middle-aged man that no one would want to look at for too long.
