Lin Sanjiu walked half a circle around the iron gate alone, and soon understood what kind of trap she had stepped into.
...She looked back.
The long body gradually became cold and hard in the night wind, and its outline was as stiff as if it had been frozen through by the cold; the fake "Mei He" also lost its human form and turned into a pile of corpses again. The two supported each other and leaned on each other.
, forming a black shadow like a hill on the ground in the distance.
Under her gaze, the dark hill suddenly moved.
The round sarcoma popped up; it moved out from under the body of the long leg, and seemed to be bigger than when it was in the body of the fallen species - from a distance, it looked like a heavy
Large tires for trucks.
Lin Sanjiu looked at it, and a curved silver light slipped silently from his hand.
"Forget it," the sarcoma slowly rolled away from the pile of corpses, turned in her direction, and immediately stopped. The voice belonging to Mei Peipei was gradually fading from its throat: "...even if
You took out your weapon, do you think you can deceive me?"
Lin Sanjiu didn't answer.
The tumor laughed "chi" and did not come closer. It just rolled out backwards. Under the dim skylight, its fleshy skin was undulating and bulging, as if countless small things were about to burst out from inside.
of.
"I'm leaving," it said in an almost sweet voice: "I really wish I had fallen off of you just now, instead of just a degenerate species with nothing surprising. But there is nothing we can do about it, when we are outside
, I don’t have the confidence to defeat you yet.”
If it had shoulders, its tone made people think it would shrug: "You are a very lucky person. Every time I plunder a creature, I have to digest it for a while before I can plunder the next time. So I can't now
What happened to you, and you walked in on your own. What a pity."
In other words, a long life has bought you temporary safety...is that right?
If Changzu found out, he would definitely be very angry, right?
Lin Sanjiu wanted to smile bitterly, but she fell to the ground unexpectedly - a fall that she did not expect, as if the bones in her legs were suddenly taken out. When she raised her head while holding on to the ground, she saw in the distance
The tumor seemed to have become smaller and more blurred by the darkness; it seemed to move faster when no one was watching it.
"Even if my physical strength is drained and I can no longer use my evolutionary abilities," she reluctantly sat up straight and looked closely at the big sarcoma that was slowly receding into the darkness: "...Have you forgotten? I still have
There are special items.”
"Oh, yes," Sarcoma responded almost like a smile, his voice starting to be a little unclear. "Special items... they will not belong to you for a long time. You should cherish them."
It didn't seem to be afraid at all that it would take out something and break it into pieces from this distance.
Lin Sanjiu stretched out her hands tremblingly, the thought of "calling out the card" kept repeating in her mind - none of the weapons Siba'an gave her could be lifted - however, regardless of the thought echoing
How many times, her empty hands were always pale in the dark night, like empty shadows.
...Yes, to take out her special items, she must first use her evolution ability.
Using evolutionary abilities requires physical strength; unfortunately, in this open space, all her physical strength was drained away, leaving her with only an empty shell like a dry river bed.
"Why go to such trouble?" Sarcoma said distantly, like a sigh and a smile: "In your current state, shouldn't you hope that I leave as soon as possible?"
She could hear that her breathing was getting heavier and heavier; the force field in this open space was far heavier and stronger than outside - this force that seemed to be able to twist people's souls, like a force approaching people silently in the dark night.
A venomous snake at the heel swam closer when least expected, and then suddenly sank its fangs and venom deep into the skin.
"You, after you leave," Lin Sanjiu said breathlessly, every word was an arduous task. "...will someone else come?"
"certainly."
The monster sat in the shadows and responded simply. "But they won't come quickly, you can rest assured of that."
The lack of strength was like the lack of air, which made a thick fog seem to rise in her mind, blurring her thinking. She had to think about this sentence for a while, and then asked with a bit of confusion: "——
Why?"
"Why?" That Sarcoma smiled clearly this time. "Do you even need to ask?"
What follows is clear, yet soft and cruel.
"You have walked into the center of this force field by yourself, don't you understand? Sit here for a while, think about life, think about the starry sky..." It chuckled, "In a short while, you will
Slowly feel that your physical strength is back. Your past evolutionary abilities may disappear, and you will gain new abilities and a new appearance... After all, you are an evolver, and your potential is different from that of ordinary people. You will be an
Very sweet new fruit. Maybe by then, you will like your new form very much."
Lin Sanjiu lay on the ground and watched it getting further and further away - if she had any strength at all, she would rush up and follow the path it left to escape from this ghost place; however, the only thing she could do now was
, just twitching his eyelids slightly.
Surrounded by strong iron gates standing like high city walls, where can the sarcoma get out?
If she kept staring in the direction in which it disappeared and crawled over little by little, would she have any chance of surviving?
Thinking of this, she tried to raise her head - where the sarcoma had just spoken to her, there was now only a thick, flowing darkness like mist. Like the person behind the door, it disappeared without a sound.
In the night.
Lin Sanjiu should have been shocked or disappointed; but any strong emotion needs physical support to be able to fluctuate.
She just looked at the night in the distance for a while, and then slowly closed her eyes.
"...You have grown horns."
It seemed as if it was extremely long and extremely short, and a period of unconscious darkness was suddenly stirred up by these four words; Lin Sanjiu opened her eyes suddenly, and vaguely saw a figure lowering his head towards her, and a darkness enveloped her.
, only the outline of the body was dyed with a faint silver edge by the light that lit up from nowhere.
She stared blankly at the figure with his back to the light—had horns? Really?
"False." The man sighed lowly, the aroma and warmth of figs that had been dried by the sun lingering in his breath. He put a hand under Lin Sanjiu's arm and helped her up.
"Fighting alone is such a thing," Sibaan whispered in her ear. It was unclear whose hair was scattered and stuck to their skin, stained with burning heat. "It's not suitable for you."
