Ever since she left the Munitions Factory, Lin Sanjiu had been in a state of anxiety. She hadn't had a good night's sleep for the past two days. She had expended too much of her Higher Consciousness and hadn't had the chance to recover. Now that she needed Mrs. Manas, she couldn't even form a shadow.
Lin Sanjiu stood in the corridor and stared at the metal door for a few seconds.
To be honest, she didn't know why she pulled her leg back at the critical moment and stayed where she was. There must have been something wrong that triggered her vigilance …
However, now wasn't the time to find out the reason.
Someone had set up a trap here. If she had really walked in just now, it wouldn't be just an ordinary metal door that imprisoned her. Lin Sanjiu couldn't help biting her lip when she recalled that so many aptitude users had been summoned to the second floor. She might have escaped, but who was the culprit?
Luyan?
If the young lady didn't call her over, she wouldn't have been locked in E-14. Could it be that Luyan was related to X?
The young lady had said that she was the one who was sent down here. Even though it might be a lie, Luyan should have known that she would be the first suspect if Lin Sanjiu found out about the trap. Wasn't that the same as sending herself to her doorstep?
Lin Sanjiu held her breath and listened intently. There was only silence around her. Suddenly, she felt envious of Luther. At that moment, she wished she could split herself into three people. One would go look for Bohemia, one would go look for Luyan, and the last one would stay here and wait for the culprit to come and check the prey in the trap.
Unfortunately, she couldn't do it.
She could only choose one thing to do.
Lin Sanjiu made up her mind in an instant. She dashed toward the stairs. Whoever set the trap for her must have seen Bohemia by her side. In other words, Bohemia must be alone in the Sea Conqueror, unaware that she was in danger. No matter what, I have to find her before X does!
She tore off her mask, and the bloated appearance on her body vanished into thin air. At this point, there was no point in hiding anymore.
Her shadow was so fast that it was like a hallucination from the corner of one's eye. In just a few breaths, she had already reappeared in the passage leading to Area F. She saw the elevator door open and a group of posthumans peeked their heads out from behind the door while they were chatting.
That was great!
Seeing that the last person was about to come out of the elevator, although her footsteps were light, they still shook the floor beneath their feet. Just as they turned their heads to look at her, she crouched and pushed herself off the ground with both her hands and feet. Then, like a cheetah leaping out of the bushes, she leaped over the heads of the crowd.
She was sometimes like a cat, able to find the smallest and most unlikely places to land her feet. There was a small gap between the two posthumans and Lin Sanjiu. Lin Sanjiu landed on the ground with a thud and landed right in the middle of the elevator. Right in front of her was the posthuman who had yet to get out of the elevator. His vision suddenly darkened. Before he could figure out what was going on, Lin Sanjiu rammed him into the elevator with her shoulder and slammed him against the wall of the elevator.
"Who is it?"
The posthumans who had just walked out of the elevator realized what was going on. They yelled angrily as they turned around. Lin Sanjiu turned her body sideways and entered the elevator. The elevator door closed right after her, causing the view outside to become narrower and narrower. A few of the posthumans rushed back into the elevator. One of them, who was the closest to Lin Sanjiu, raised his leg and kicked the elevator door.
"I've had enough," Lin Sanjiu thought.
She had enough. She was like a mouse trapped in a dark cage. She had to run around in circles, and no matter which direction she ran, she would end up crashing into a wall. She had a lot of scruples. In the past, she had always thought that the Nocturnal Wanderer had nothing to do with X. Even if they misunderstood her, she shouldn't hurt innocent people. She had always tried to figure out who was working for X and who wasn't. She tried her best not to implicate those who were not her targets. But now, she had had enough.
Her friends should not be put in danger just for Luther's sake.
From now on, anyone who stood in her way was her enemy.
There was only a soft tearing sound. It was so smooth that no one would think that half of a lower leg had been severed from the knee. It was too fast. Not only was it hard to guard against, but the sound of metal cutting through flesh and bone was also barely audible.
Blood spurted out like a fountain. It was as if the arteries and veins were filled with rage. In an instant, half of the elevator and Lin Sanjiu were dyed red. The posthuman howled in pain as he fell backward. Half of his lower leg fell to the ground. Before it hit the elevator door, Lin Sanjiu grabbed it and threw it behind her.
The closing door of the elevator didn't even stop.
Following that, the sound of a lower leg falling to the ground rang clearly in Lin Sanjiu's ears.
It had been a long time since Lin Sanjiu's fighting spirit was ignited. She had almost forgotten that when her fighting spirit was ignited, her fighting instincts would be so terrifying. She had purposely thrown the calf at the posthuman behind her, but it did not hit anyone. Instead, it landed on the ground. In that one-thousandth of a second, she raised her eyes slightly and saw the posthuman turn around, open their eyes, and raise their hands. It was as clear as a slow-motion movie in her field of vision.
Her instincts, blood, and genes allowed her to know exactly what was happening.
The space inside the elevator was small, and there was nowhere for her to hide. In that split second, she stretched out her hand, and the shadow of the card flashed past her. Then, a long shadow waved in front of her. As if it had hit something invisible in the air, it flickered a few times and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The elevator door finally closed. Lin Sanjiu and Lin Sanjiu's figures were reflected on the metal door.
Lin Sanjiu slapped the button to close the door. It was only then that she heard intermittent cries of pain and panic coming from the other side of the door. Lin Sanjiu calmed down a little from her fully activated combat mode. She took a light breath, and the elevator began to move upward.
Turning around, she met eyes with a man whose face was filled with astonishment.
The man's eyes were narrow, and even if he widened them, they did not take up much space. He wasn't fat, but the contours of his face were soft and shapeless. He looked like a domesticated animal that would submit to the slightest bit of resistance. Right now, he was staring at the person who had suddenly barged into the sheep pen.
Apart from being puzzled as to why his ability had disappeared without a trace, he was also curious as to why Lin Sanjiu was holding two bath towels in her hands.
Lin Sanjiu raised the towels and looked at them. Then, she raised her head and looked at the man.
"Sealing ability user?" She tilted her head and smiled. "Thank you for your attack. I'll accept it. It will be very helpful to me."
As she spoke, the two bath towels turned back into cards in her hands. After the bath towel card came into contact with the ability and absorbed the attack, there were now two more descriptions on it. One came from outside the door, and the other came from inside the door.
She might not be invincible, but she knew that her fighting instincts would always be her most reliable companion. There was no absolute disadvantage. The only thing that mattered was whether her will was awakened or not.
