"Who...did you hear the name Dean?" Lin Sanjiu asked blankly, forgetting to hide her surprise for a moment - she never expected that after changing the world, she would be named Dean again.
I heard the word "dean" once.`
"Speaking of which, I don't know." No. 47 straightened his robe and said calmly: "...At that time, we were still looking for water drops in the first earthen room. There was nothing in my area.
, when I was about to move to another cubicle, I happened to hear someone talking breathlessly from above. They were very cautious and their voices were very soft. Even though I paid attention, I only heard the word 'dean'.
That’s all.”
"What a mess," No. 43 muttered, "...how can people still call each other according to their positions after how long has it been?"
Lin Sanjiu frowned and said nothing.
The "Dean" heard on No. 47 was most likely the one she almost encountered in Red Nautilus - but would the other party really pursue such an unknown world because of her? Although according to the proportion
Generally speaking, the number of low-level worlds will indeed be more than that of high-level ones, but...
"Do you know who the dean is?"
No. 47's calm voice brought her back to reality.
Lin Sanjiu immediately turned her head and glanced at him. The other person's expression was still the same as before, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking - "No, I just think this title is a bit strange."
...Although there were many things she still hadn't figured out yet, she still had to prepare for the worst; that is, among everyone present, there was one person who was the "Dean".
But even so, she still had many questions.
If for some reason the dean came after the Vicious World and happened to enter Harry's farm with her, why didn't he take action? Even if he didn't know her appearance before, he just had to ask the visa officer who issued the visa
, and everything is understood.
Could it be that the dean still doesn’t know what she looks like?
More importantly...if the dean was here, who would it be?
When she was in Red Nautilus, after getting the visa, she also inquired about this person. However, there were different opinions. Just for the appearance description of the dean, she heard at least twenty versions, each of which looked different.
All are less credible than other theories; so until now, she doesn't even know whether the other person is a boy or a girl, tall or short.
"I say, it doesn't matter whether the hospital is the president or not," No. 43, who had no interest in the topic just now, sighed and asked, "Are we going to continue to be in a stalemate like this now?"
Lin Sanjiu and No. 47 looked at each other, but neither of them spoke for a moment.`
——Even No. 43 himself did not expect that his unintentional words would actually become the current situation in the next few days.
Except for the occasional visit by No. 44 and No. 45 to exchange some useless information, the situation in the hall was actually in a stalemate until the fifth day, and no one gave in. As the remaining time of the seed period became longer and longer,
The time was getting shorter and shorter, and everyone's faces were getting uglier and uglier - even if their physical strength hadn't begun to weaken, substantial mental pressure was weighing heavily on everyone's heart like a boulder.
And among everyone, No. 42's condition can be said to be the worst.
As long as everyone thought for a moment, they would realize that the containment tool on his body had been given to No. 48, which was used to collect the water drops in the first earthen chamber. After that, Lin Sanjiu happened to come out to identify No. 42's behavior.
——This means that the holding prop is still on No. 48. He has no chance to hand it back to No. 42 in public.
This means that No. 42 can only take the recorded photos with him - until No. 48 returns the holding props to him.
It is for this reason that at least one pair of eyes is staring at No. 42 every minute, day and night, for fear of missing the moment when he takes out the photo; because he is being monitored all the time, after a few days,
No. 42's eyes now had a thick darkness that could not be concealed even if his expression changed.
However, even so, his anxious look seemed a bit... too much.
It was obvious that he had not absorbed the contaminated water, but his skin was obviously withered. It was as if the pressure he was under was several times greater than that of others - his restlessness was rapidly increasing almost to the naked eye.
Growing.
"It's a bit strange," even the careless No. 43 noticed something was wrong, and whispered to the two people around him: "...What's wrong with No. 42? Does he know something that we don't know?"
"He is getting more and more frustrated. Yesterday, he looked for 44 and 45 several times." No. 47 said calmly.
"It's okay for him to be like this," Lin Sanjiu pondered for a while. This time, even without Mimic Ji Shanqing, she came up with a way. "...Let me try my method to see if it works."
After discussing in low voices with the two of them, she stood up and strode straight towards where No. 42 and his group were.
"What are you doing?" As soon as he saw her, No. 42 jumped up as if he had been stabbed by something. His eyes were already bloodshot at some point. "...If you are here to apologize and surrender, you are empty-handed.
It’s not enough to come.”
"Oh?" Lin Sanjiu smiled, walked a few steps away from the group, looked around, and actually sat down cross-legged. "Then what should I bring?"
No. 42 was stunned, looking at her for several seconds without being able to answer the question. He hurriedly raised his head and looked into the distance, and saw that No. 43 and 47 also looked calm. He understood immediately and immediately turned back to face
Lin Sanjiu yelled: "——Get out of here!"
"Force me to leave if you can." Lin Sanjiu's smile remained unchanged, and he turned his hand to get an extra hand. "I still have some confidence in my skills. Even if I can't beat you, you can't do anything to me.
I'll come over as soon as you sit down."
"...What on earth are you going to do?" No. 46 couldn't help but frown and asked coldly.
"Nothing to do," Lin Sanjiu boredly dug the soil on the ground with the tip of a knife, and after a while he dug out a pile of mud like a hill. "I am willing to keep a close eye on you to prevent you from making any small moves.
"
The three of them were choked by her and were speechless for a while.
No. 42 was about to say something, but No. 46 spoke first, and he immediately closed his mouth - "You can sit here if you want." Under the shiny and smooth head, No. 46 had not even a trace on his face
His face didn't move, as if he was wearing a mask: "...but let me tell you first, we have a lot of special items. Some of them just need people to test their power."
Lin Sanjiu's face darkened and she stood up. She sneered and kicked the hill-like soil back into the pit. The splashing mud particles immediately shattered several people's heads and faces: "You guys
Feel free to try it!”
"Forget it, forget it." No. 43 saw that the situation here was about to get imminent, and hurriedly rushed over to persuade Lin Sanjiu. He glanced at No. 42 and his group, and then pulled her back: "It's not time yet.
When we fight with them, let's go back and think of a way..."
Lin Sanjiu's face was sullen, and when he was about to go back, he stared at the people behind him.
"...They are about to be unable to support them any longer." No. 42 murmured softly, "It's coming soon, it's coming soon."
After he finished speaking, the other two people never responded; he frowned and thought for a moment, then No. 42 seemed to have made up his mind, turned around and shouted to the other side of the hall: "Hey, 44, 45, you guys come here -"
Before the word "下" came out of his mouth, No. 42's voice got stuck in his throat and turned into a surprised "Huh?"
His strangeness immediately attracted the attention of others. Even Lin Sanjiu turned his head and looked over.
Girl No. 45 was leaning against the wall and taking a nap. When she was shouted out, she suddenly woke up with a start. She looked up and met six pairs of eyes. She was a little panicked: "You... what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"
What's going on?"
"Where is person No. 44?" No. 42 shouted irritably. "Isn't that kid going into the earthen room?"
No. 45 was stunned and immediately turned his head - but the land where No. 44 was originally located was now empty, not even a piece of clothing was left.
Since the first and second earthen chambers are empty, there is no point in entering; and the third chamber is the last hope for survival for everyone. No one will go in and disturb the water droplets inside. Therefore,
No one paid attention to the entrance of the earthen chamber - at this moment, No. 44 suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and No. 42 naturally thought that he had entered some earthen chamber.
"No way?" No. 45 was also a little panicked, "I saw him in the morning, exercising over there... Hey 44! Are you there?"
She opened the first door, poked her head in and called out a few times.
As the seven people in the room waited with bated breath, the corridor behind the first door was quiet, and there was no echo. Since No. 42's group and Lin Sanjiu's group were still facing each other, neither one wanted to let the other in.
They had to go into the earthen chamber, so No. 45 could only go in alone and search around——
After a while, the oval face of No. 45 poked out from behind the door again, looking much paler than before.
"No one, I looked, and there was no one inside at all," she said with a trembling voice.
"...Go to the second room and have a look." No. 42 ordered.
The structure of the second room was exactly the same as the first one, but it took No. 45 much longer than the last time; only this time, until she came out, there was still no trace of No. 44.
Everyone's hearts sank. The third earthen chamber was the last one, and the water drops inside were also the key to their survival...
Fortunately, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. There was still no one in the third earthen chamber. After confirming that the water droplets had not been touched, the seven people's worries rose again.
"It's weird, the seeds can't leave the hole. How can a big living person be gone if you don't?" No. 43 looked puzzled, "The hole is so big, and there is no secret passage... How did that kid get out of here?"
"
Lin Sanjiu bit her lip and frowned.
Once you enter the dungeon, if you don't complete the mission in accordance with the dungeon requirements, there is no way to exit midway - unless there is such a special item. Could it be that No. 44 happens to have such a precious item on hand?
Although this possibility is not impossible, it is really very low.
Even though they were still confronting each other, everyone in the earthen chamber fell into a vague confusion and confusion. Amidst the low and chaotic chatter, Lin Sanjiu took a few steps back and stood against the earthen wall.
, quietly observing everyone.
No. 44 did not leave the earthen chamber.
Lin Sanjiu suddenly had a very certain thought - whether this was intuition or something she remembered, even she herself couldn't tell.
Moreover, besides No. 44, there is another thing that should have been there but is no longer there...
She was lost in thought when she accidentally raised her eyes and saw No. 42 and a group of three people talking together on the other side of the hall. It seemed that No. 42 was still a little excited and was waving his hands to the other two people, as if
It looked like they were having a heated argument about something.
It has been more than two hours since No. 44 disappeared... Thinking of this, the corners of Lin Sanjiu's mouth slowly raised.
After waiting patiently for a while, No. 42 and his group seemed to have finished saying everything they needed to say. No. 42 lowered his swaying hands and shoulders, and a few people stood a little further apart; it seemed that they had just turned around.
, as if he was about to walk back and sit down, Lin Sanjiu suddenly kicked his foot, and his body rushed out as quickly as thunder and lightning.
"She attacks!" No. 48 shouted, stumbled back several steps, and almost fell to the ground; at the same time, No. 42 sneered, waved his arm and came forward -
However, his suddenly opened arms immediately flew into the air, and No. 42 stopped awkwardly at his feet, preventing him from overshooting his head. When he looked back, he saw that the momentum just now seemed like he was about to come up and fight for his life.
The woman unexpectedly stepped aside at some point and was now squatting on the ground aside, holding a handful of soil in her hand.
"Since you want to seek death on your own initiative -" No. 42's eyes were red, as if he wanted to let out all the anger he had been holding in; but as soon as he moved, Lin Sanjiu jumped back a few times, and was far away. Withdrew.
"Why are you so angry?" She smiled at the three people with gloomy faces across from her, and the soil fell from her palm in clusters. "...Do you still remember the hole I dug just now? I seem to have accidentally dug a hole. I forgot something in there, I just went to get it back."
The brown-black soil particles quickly melted into her hand like ice cream, revealing a stained card underneath.
There is a line of words written on the card that makes people confused.
"Now let me see what you just said." Lin Sanjiu wiped off the last trace of dirt on the card and said with a smile. (To be continued.)
ps: It was very painful for me to write excessive chapters. I wanted to take a leave, I wanted to have fun, and I wanted to have fun.
