The moment Phoebe finished speaking, the round-faced man's facial muscles twitched violently.
The meaning behind the middle-aged man's words couldn't be clearer.
Why couldn't he kill Lin Sanjiu first before asking Natasha if she had found a way to clear the dungeon? Why did he have to keep Lin Sanjiu alive before he could question her?
The answer was simple. The middle-aged man didn't trust Natasha.
Without Lin Sanjiu, who had observed the situation, they wouldn't be able to prove anything Natasha said. That was why they had to keep her alive.
Lin Sanjiu heaved a sigh of relief inwardly. She felt cold sweat trickling down her back, seeping into her wet clothes and the lake water. She really thought that she would be attacked by Phoebe this time because she couldn't think of any reason why he wouldn't kill her. However, it was strange. Why didn't Phoebe trust Natasha?
No, if she thought about it carefully, that wasn't the only problem. Because he didn't trust Natasha, he left Lin Sanjiu, who was definitely an outsider, alive. Wasn't that a little too much?
Could it be that in Phoebe's eyes, Lin Sanjiu was no different from his teammates?
That was even stranger. There were only four pedal-boats that could clear the dungeon. Even if Phoebe thought that he had the upper hand, there was a high probability that he would clear the dungeon with his teammates...
"Hey," Lin Sanjiu waved her gun at the round-faced man, "I won't kill you. You can turn around and leave now."
The round-faced man was stunned. He obviously didn't expect that. After thinking for a while, he pursed his lips and a vein popped up on his cheek.
Since Phoebe had already shown his distrust of his teammates, Lin Sanjiu had no reason not to take advantage of it. She let the round-faced man go so that she could deepen the division between them. She couldn't kill him now. She couldn't force them to become comrades on the same side.
The sound of the water faded away. In a few breaths, the round-faced man disappeared from the pedal-boat.
"Tell me," said Phoebe, his voice drifting near and far. "What did Natasha find in the water?" he asked. " Did you see it? "
"I saw it," Lin Sanjiu raised her voice and answered. She waded through the water and approached one of the Yellow Duck boats. There weren't many broken pedal boats like the Frog Boat. Most of them were like the Yellow Duck Boat. From the outside, they looked sturdy, but a little dirty. There were even drink bottles and barbecue skewers under the seats. She looked away, a little disappointed. "But I'm not stupid … If I tell you, you'll turn around and kill me."
She sent the message out for a while, but there was no response from Fabian. Only Zao Peng suddenly shouted, "21 minutes!"
As if a string had been snapped by these words, a loud splashing sound could be heard from the faraway pedal boat cemetery. Then, something fell into the pedal boat cabin with a thud.
"What are you doing?" Zao Peng exclaimed softly.
The only response she got was a downcast voice.
"If Phoebe doesn't do anything, I have to stand in the water and wait to drown? If that woman doesn't die, we'll have to start looking for a boat! " He didn't seem to realize that his voice could travel very far on the calm surface of the lake. "I suggest you go —"
Before he could finish his sentence, his voice suddenly turned into a cry of surprise. That cry sank into the water along with the sound of the pedal boat crashing and overturning. The surrounding pedal boats were probably swaying from the impact as well. For a moment, the surface of the lake was filled with the creaking of the boats. Lin Sanjiu quickly poked her head out to take a look. About twenty to thirty meters away, she saw a bunch of cartoon animals swaying back and forth in the water. She couldn't see which boat sank with the downcast face.
"What's going on?" the round-faced man shouted from afar. He had swum quite a distance in such a short time.
"I don't know!" Zao Peng shouted. "That boat looks perfectly fine. There's no damage at all!"
"There's no damage at all, but it sank immediately?
How is that possible?
Doesn't this mean that all my previous speculations are wrong? "
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a few seconds. It was only when she felt the water level rising to her chest that she snapped out of her daze. She quickly slung the spear on her back and climbed onto the duck with some difficulty.
She did not have the ability to increase her stamina, and her clothes and shoes were soaked through. When she climbed out of the water, she felt as if her body weighed a thousand pounds. When she finally managed to get into the cabin, the yellow duck immediately made a squeaking sound as it swayed back and forth.
When she raised her head again, she met Phoebe's gaze.
His hair had been combed neatly and smoothed back, and his grey eyes were as gentle and serious as ever. Only his clothes, wet and black and clinging to him, showed his figure.
The middle-aged gentleman was sitting in another pedal boat. He looked at Lin Sanjiu through the door and smiled.
"Look, I've been sitting here for almost a minute. But you don't have any abilities, so you didn't even notice me sitting here. I'm sorry for startling you. "
Lin Sanjiu stared at him and let out a breath slowly.
"Although I sat on it for a minute and the ship didn't sink, I didn't dare to trust it. I stepped on it and walked back to the rental spot … After all, if the ship started to sink on the way back, I would have no way to save myself."
"You …" Lin Sanjiu suppressed her surprise, "Don't you think that the pocket dimension will disappear if you kill me?"
Fabian slowly took out a folded piece of A4 paper from his pocket. He was soaked from head to toe, but the paper was the only one that didn't have a single drop of water on it. It unfolded smoothly in his hand.
He raised the paper and pointed it at Lin Sanjiu. "Hmm."
"I don't think so. Tell me, what did Natasha find in the water? "
'Damn it, why did I have to be caught now?'
Lin Sanjiu's original speculations about Natasha had been shattered by the sinking boat. She couldn't even think of a suitable excuse now. If Phoebe only spared her life because of his speculations about Natasha, then she didn't even have the last bit of capital to ensure her survival.
"Why do you believe that I didn't place the pocket dimension there?" Lin Sanjiu thought for a while and tried to find a question to stall for time. "Why didn't you tell them?"
Phoebe didn't say anything. He turned the paper in his hand towards her and revealed a small piece of black writing.
Lin Sanjiu narrowed her eyes and scanned the paper. She was shocked.
