Lin Sanjiu shut her eyes tightly, and the world around her was filled with the howling wind.
When Lin Sanjiu opened her eyes again, her palms were drenched in cold sweat. She felt as if her blood and heartbeat were about to be thrown out of her body and into the air. Through the cockpit window, she could see that the ground was closing in on her.
However, she was still alive, and the aircraft was still intact.
"12!" Lin Sanjiu yelled. She immediately reached out to restart the engine, "Look behind us!"
After a few seconds, he raised his voice and laughed, "Hahaha! You can rest assured now! This thing is really awesome! "
Just as the aircraft was about to hit the ground, the engine finally let out a hum, as if it was reluctant to do so. The fuselage shook, and Lin Sanjiu immediately pulled the nose of the aircraft up. It turned around and floated into the air again.
"What's going on?" Lin Sanjiu gripped the control stick tightly. She finally had a chance to catch her breath, "Are they still following us?"
"You will know when you look behind us."
Lin Sanjiu turned on the autopilot and grabbed the seat belt. She struggled to stand up in the howling wind and craned her neck to look outside. She was dumbfounded by what she saw.
The few aircraft that were chasing after her were still intact, and they were only a few hundred meters away from her. However, they couldn't get close to her no matter how hard they tried because there were two chubby hands clamping the aircraft between their fingers.
A hole appeared in the sky. The clouds, the blue sky, and the airflow melted and retreated, revealing a face behind the sky. The owner of the face couldn't be more than ten years old, but he looked like a gigantic alien looking down from the universe. He was giggling, and his eyes were gleaming with joy.
This scene reminded her of the Salvation of God, but unlike the Salvation of God, this gigantic child was obviously not a real entity. At the edge of his face, the lines and colors began to blur and thin, like a phantom floating out of the water.
"Is this a Special Item?" 12 could not leave his seat, so he could only twist his spine and neck to the extreme. He looked at the rear porthole and exclaimed, "Special items with such power are really rare …"
Lin Sanjiu narrowed her eyes and looked at the dock on the top floor of the heaven district. She could no longer see the Scholar's shadow, but she was very sure that it must have been the special item that the Scholar had temporarily created that had caused such an effect.
Fortunately, she had decided to shut off the engine at the last moment. Not only was the spacecraft falling at an astonishing speed when it lost its power, but it was also falling in a straight line, unlike when the engine was accelerating. It seemed that she had slipped through the fingers of the child in that split second, and the pursuers behind her were all caught.
"Oh, it's time," said Twelve, in a cheerful, inhuman way. "Look, the child is disappearing!"
Just as he said, the huge face of the child was like a scene from a movie, slowly disappearing from the sky and fading away. Even the aircraft in his hand seemed to have become a part of him, disappearing from this world along with him.
When Lin Sanjiu thought of the people in the aircraft, she shuddered.
Suppressing the discomfort in her heart, she quickly walked back to the pilot seat. She did not show any expression on her face, but the moment she sat down, 12's voice drifted over to her like a parasite, "Oh? I didn't kill them, but they died because of me? "
"Cut the crap," Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat, "They are my enemies. Either they die, or I die."
"You know it's not true …" 12's voice pierced through the wind in the cabin, "They just want to capture you alive, but you want to kill them."
At first, she only felt a little uncomfortable, but now, she felt as if her brain was being penetrated and spied on. Lin Sanjiu wanted to tell him to shut up, but she swallowed her words. Words were information. Every word she said, whether it was an order, a lie, or an order, she would reveal more information about herself.
Only by mechanically emphasizing her target would she be able to prevent the other party from continuing to pry into her.
"It's time for you to point the way," Lin Sanjiu said, trying her best to remain unmoved. "Tell me, where did you send the hairy brothers?"
"How can I take all the credit for this? I didn't arrange it," 12 said unhurriedly. His voice was drowned out by the wind from time to time. "Let me think …"
Lin Sanjiu was a little impatient. She turned her head abruptly, but before she could say anything, her eyes twitched.
"Why isn't it over yet?"
Far away, Scholar was climbing down the outer wall of the tower in the sky like a spider with legs but no body, with countless narrow and long metal bones. Even though she was just an inanimate object, her speed was so fast that it seemed to be filled with stubborn rage. Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine when she saw it from afar.
Lin Sanjiu sped up, determined to escape before it reached the same height. Just as the engine let out a wail, 12 suddenly shouted, "It's not coming for you!"
Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to let her guard down. As she sped up, she looked back. Unexpectedly, 12 didn't lie to her. When she reached the center of the tower, Scholar suddenly slowed down and retracted all of her scattered bones. She shrunk herself into a ball that was only half the size of her original size. Then, she burrowed into the wall and disappeared.
Lin Sanjiu turned her head around in a daze. A thought suddenly popped into her mind.
"It went back," she mumbled to herself, "So it really can go back on its own …"
It was a rare favor that Silvan had asked her for, but now, it was gone.
Seeing that there were no more pursuers behind her, she stood up again in cruise mode. She steadied herself in the strong wind and stared at the heaven district that was getting further and further away from her. She was lost in thought for a while. She had left in such a hurry that she had left a lot of questions unanswered. For a moment, she was lost in thought. "What happened to Gong Daoyi? Is the third person whose face I didn't see really Marcie? " "Where did Silvan go?"
At the place where the scholar had disappeared, something white suddenly moved.
Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. Even though she didn't know what it was, she couldn't help staring at it.
A thick white branch slowly emerged from the heaven district. The way it moved and stretched slowly made it seem like it had a life of its own. It looked out of place in the Babel Tower, but somehow, it looked a little familiar.
"What is that?"
