When the lights came on, Jiajiada slowly approached the woman who had just been subdued on the ground, and stopped when he was still one step away from her.
Lin Sanjiu was lying on the ground, being pinned to the ground by an employee in overalls, breathing lowly. The disguise on her body disappeared and she returned to her original appearance; the bandages, racer vest, field pants and boots on her body were all
It was someone who had appeared countless times in the Terminal Casino, wearing similar clothes - now the "correct version" of Lin Sanjiu finally appeared, but the person who wanted to take her away was not Qing Jiuliu.
"Don't blame me." Jia Jiatian shook his head and said, "Don't forget, it was you who took the initiative to join the job. You wanted to use me to get to the end, but you never thought that you might have to pay the price for it. Since you asked to join the job
, I have to do my part...don’t worry, after you join the job, you will have many years of opportunity to slowly reflect and regret."
Lin Sanjiu bit her lips so hard that they turned white and turned bloodless. She struggled hard, but she still couldn't get away from the dungeon employee who was holding her hands firmly behind her. The only thing she could do was to barely lift her neck.
, glanced towards the back.
At this moment, the area was surrounded by dungeon employees brought by Jiajiada. Outside the human wall formed by the employees, there were also a number of daring evolvers who were watching the excitement; from the faces staring at her one after another,
In the meantime, Qingjiu Liu separated from everyone and walked closer silently.
He gave up the "role" he had performed before, and now he just stood there without saying a word, making it impossible to ignore him. Jiajiada turned his head and smiled at him: "Oh, you
Are you here too?"
Qing Jiuli didn't say anything, took out a crumpled cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth.
He fumbled around a few times and found a lighter.
Lowering his eyes, he blocked the lighter with one hand and lit the fire with a bang with the other hand - a small ball of red fire lighted up from his palm, illuminating his eyelashes and the tip of his nose; restrained and forbearing
The bloody red color disappeared from his cheeks, returning to his usual cool and lazy appearance.
Jiajiada seemed to be uncomfortable with the sound of his voice thrown out, but it landed empty on the ground without even a single echo. He coughed and said without embarrassment: "I'm here to bring in an employee...
"
Qingjiuru took a puff of the cigarette, his eyes still hanging on the cigarette between his fingers, as if it didn't do its job well and he was not satisfied.
"It looks very similar to the person I'm looking for," he said after exhaling a puff of smoke.
"They look similar, but there are too many here." Jia Jiatian's face turned cold unknowingly, but he still maintained some courtesy. After thinking about it, he suddenly tilted his head and asked: "...Isn't she?"
Qingjiuru paused, frowned, lowered his head and took another puff of cigarette.
This question is really difficult to answer. If you admit that Lin Sanjiu is your target, then the copy will undoubtedly know immediately, and they will prepare to leave next time; if you don't admit it, then there is no reason to stop Jia Jiatian from taking people with him.
Walk.
"We haven't seen you for many years, so I'm not too sure." Qingjiuru said slowly, "Would you mind letting me get closer and take a look?"
"Of course I don't mind," Jia Jiatian was very cooperative, "I'm willing to try my best to help you see clearly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qingjiu Liu suddenly raised his head - but Kajiada was too close and his movements were extremely fast, leaving no room for anyone to react; in the blink of an eye, Lin San
The wine had already been grabbed by his neck and pulled up.
Even though Jiajia Tian was much shorter than Lin Sanjiu, at this moment he stretched out his arms and pulled Lin Sanjiu up, the latter seemed to be like a piece of bacon hanging on the hook; her body was heavy and drooping, weakly, straight
It fell straight onto Jiajiada's hand, and he couldn't even blink his eyelids.
"Is that okay?" Jiajiada smiled, "Is this the person you are looking for?"
Qing Jiuliu took a step towards Lin Sanjiu, then another step and stopped.
"You're so close, you should be able to see clearly, right?" Jiajiada asked, "What's wrong, right?"
Falling into the hands of an employee like Jia Jiatian and being restrained by his ability probably not only means that Lin Sanjiu has lost all ability to resist - the dungeon will never allow fighting between employees to cause internal strife.
; after all, human employees are very valuable assets for copies.
Even if you have not joined the company and have not asked the dungeon for its rules, you can still imagine what methods it will use to stop internal fighting: punishment afterwards may also mean that assets will be damaged; if attacks between employees are directly prevented from taking effect,
Isn’t it foolproof?
Although Qingjiu Liu was motionless at the moment and had no expression on his face, it seemed to confirm this guess; deep in his silence, there seemed to be a faint anxiety and unwillingness rolling around that could no longer be concealed - obviously,
He focused all his thoughts on how to rescue Lin Sanjiu, so much so that he no longer even thought about hiding his emotions.
Jia Jiatian narrowed his eyes slightly and didn't know what he thought of. He suddenly turned around and whispered to the people around him: "Take her away."
"But..." One of them raised his eyes and looked at Qing Jiuliu, seeming a little taboo.
"Obviously, this new colleague is not the person he is looking for," Jia Jiatian said in a relaxed tone, "Besides, even if he is, it cannot prevent the new employees from joining the dungeon. And it is a good thing. The person he has been looking for will be here next.
It's impossible to be separated again for several years, why isn't that a good thing? Okay, take the person away quickly."
After he let go, Lin Sanjiu regained her ability to move; however, being handed over from one dungeon employee to another dungeon employee still didn't leave much chance for her to resist and escape - those two
One by one, they held Lin Sanjiu down. No matter how uncooperative or unwilling she was, they just exerted force and dragged her staggering back, and they followed her out involuntarily.
"etc!"
Qingjiu Liu suddenly let out a low drink, rushed forward in a few steps, stretched out his arms, and grabbed Lin Sanjiu's wrist.
Jiajiada took a step forward, stood between the two of them, and asked coldly: "Is there any problem?"
Kiyokuru seemed not even aware of his existence.
When there was no need to perform, I'm afraid he rarely showed emotions like this: it was as if Lin Sanjiu was trapped in quicksand and was being swallowed deep into the quicksand, but he couldn't pull her out. Qingjiu Liu blinked.
Looking at her without blinking, the anxiety he felt was almost desperate - as if he could see nothing but Lin Sanjiu at this moment; as if he wanted to devote all his gaze to her alone, thereby resisting all external fate.
Change, because apart from that, Qingjiu Liu had no other choice.
"As I said," Jiajiada spoke again, "If she is your target, you should thank me before it's too late..."
At this moment, Lin Sanjiu suddenly smiled at Qing Jiuliu.
"It's okay," she comforted softly, "It's really okay..."
Although his shoulders were still being held down by the dungeon employee, Lin Sanjiu leaned forward as much as he could and whispered a word beside Qingjiu Liu. Qing Jiu Liu almost immediately lowered his eyes and glanced at the ground - Jia Jia Tian also noticed
For this detail, I glanced hard at the ground several times, and then quickly waved my hand, ordering the dungeon employee to drag Lin Sanjiu away from the ground, as if he was afraid that something would happen on the ground.
"Okay, let's give way. Let's all go back and play," Jiajiada waved his hand and motioned for the evolved people gathered in a circle to disperse. "There's nothing to see."
Lin Sanjiu turned her head, her eyes as bright as morning stars, and met Qing Jiuliu's eyes from a distance; after that glance, she turned her head and said to the people around her: "Don't hold me back, I will leave on my own."
After she was taken away by the dungeon employees and disappeared completely in the gambling hall, the gamblers had already dispersed; only Qingjiuru still stood there, dazed.
It was said that he was the only person left in the place, but it was not quite right: because the employee in overalls who had caught Lin Sanjiu was standing not far from him at the moment, covering his mouth with one hand, and seemed to be
deep in thought; the two of them were four or five steps apart, neither looking at the other - so as long as they didn't come closer, no one would think that they were talking in a low voice.
"...when?" Qing Jiuliu's lips opened and closed so slightly that they were almost imperceptible.
"Being pushed to the ground, before the lights were on in the casino." The employee in overalls whispered from the palm of his hand covering his mouth.
"After the lights were turned on, you already held her down?"
"Yes."
Qingjiure let out a long breath silently.
"That is indeed the only way..." He still stared at the direction Lin Sanjiu was leaving and whispered. "But I didn't notice such an obvious clue..."
"clue?"
"Boots," Qingjiu Liu glanced at the ground and said, "I should have realized this when I saw that pair of boots... Lin Sanjiu threw away the boots in the VIP room and never had time to replace them with new ones.
Shoes, but when I was caught, I was wearing a pair of short boots... But I was too impatient at the time, so I saw it but didn't notice it."
"Oh yes, it turns out that's it. Fortunately, Jia Jiatian didn't notice it either." The uniformed employee was silent for half a second and asked, "What she just told you..."
Qingjiuru lowered his head and seemed to realize that the cigarette in his hand had disappeared.
With a wry smile, he replied without turning his eyes: "She just told me...'The minute I want, the minute that makes you willing to fly into a flame and forget about the world, I have already got it.'"
"...I didn't expect that she never left. She has been waiting for opportunities in the casino."
After a while, the uniformed employee also sighed and said, "How many times has Pan Cui been to the Terminal Casino for you? She has even met the conditions for pretending to be a copy employee."
"I don't know either." Qingjiuliu was still a little dazed. "Did she say anything else to you?"
"She said a few words, but I didn't understand it." The workwear employee - or should I say, Lin Sanjiu - tilted his head slightly and recalled: "She said, because we were all determined by Jia Jiatian
She became an employee, so she turned into me and saved 'Pan Cui'... But now she has been kidnapped in my place. I really can't think of how 'Pan Cui' could be saved."
Qingjiureu thought for a while and suddenly laughed softly - as if the long wind had broken the clouds and spread them over the sea waves again.
"I probably guessed it, but I didn't expect that she knows so much about the dungeon." As he said this, he glanced to the side at a very slight angle and whispered: "Hey, the effects of the items on your body have disappeared."
Lin Sanjiu looked down and saw her two bare feet again.
