After Lu Yan walked over, he couldn't help but look back at her several times. This little girl was different from Tan Zhang. She was full of interest in various possibilities and new things. She might believe Lin Sanjiu's words -
- But she didn't dare to take risks, she still lowered her head and stared at a piece of candy on the ground with a serious expression, as if it was the only important thing in the world.
Out of the corner of her eye, the little girl finally turned her head.
"...You are just lucky to be back this time," she told Octo's roommate very uneasily when he opened the door: "Aren't you afraid of your life if you are always so careless?"
The roommate with the rectangular face sighed and nodded. He might have been injured accidentally while on a mission. Although he was not bandaged, his face was not very nice and turned white.
"Others in the team are still searching for people," Lu Yan seemed to be thinking about his companions who were still on the mission. Before turning to leave, he gave another instruction: "Come back to us when you are almost ready to rest and prepare."
When Lin Sanjiu heard this, her thoughts changed.
When Lu Yan approached her, she hurriedly lowered her head. Lu Yan suddenly stopped and shouted to her: "Hey, who asked you to work here?"
Hadn't she seen the cleaner whose vacuum cleaner was stolen before?
Lin Sanjiu half-raised her face and said vaguely: "It's a manager..."
Lu Yan thought about it for a while, probably because she didn't seem to be very smart, so he couldn't ask anything, so he frowned and walked away.
Seeing that she was out of sight, Lin Sanjiu quietly hid behind the corner of the opposite wall. From here, you could just see Octo's room, but if the people coming out of the room didn't turn around to look,
But she couldn't be seen.
She didn't wait long before she saw the door of the room being opened.
The rectangular-faced man changed his clothes and pushed the door open without looking back. He turned around and went out from the other direction in the corridor. It was precisely because of this that he didn't notice that when his door was about to close, he suddenly
It was gently blocked by some invisible force, and a gap slid open slightly.
Lin Sanjiu placed the vacuum cleaner in the corner - presumably its owner would find it soon. She walked quietly through the corridor, ducked sideways like a fish, and entered Octo's room.
The room used as the crew dormitory is not very spacious and comfortable. Two narrow beds with names on them face each other, each occupying one side of the room. Like the tables and chairs, they are firmly embedded in the interior of the ship, leaving no gaps for hiding people.
She looked at it and simply opened the wardrobe with the name "Stan Smith" on it and turned all the clothes inside into cards - strangely, there were not only men's clothes inside, but also a few sparkling ones.
Suspender skirt - After clearing one person's space, she stood in and closed the door.
Even Lin Sanjiu didn't expect that she had been waiting for several hours. Octo seemed to have made up his mind not to come back; she could vaguely hear the doors of other rooms in the corridor opening and closing, and people
There were sounds coming in and out, but this room was always quiet and no one cared about it.
It wasn't until she heard the young man's voice in the corridor again that she finally let out a long, anxious breath.
"Hey! Uncle!" The young man's cry echoed clearly, "Where have you been? Didn't you promise to clean my room for me, uncle!"
When Lin Sanjiu slipped out of the door silently, she pressed a cup against the crack of the door. It wasn't until she approached the young man and called from behind that he turned his head as if startled: "Ah, are you there?"
here!"
"The vacuum cleaner is over there," Lin Sanjiu gestured with her chin, "Just return it to the cleaner after you use it."
"Didn't we agree-"
"I didn't agree."
"If I can't do it, you still have to do it." The young man was stunned, and a pair of thick black eyebrows almost flew up on his face: "If I could clean, would I have waited until now?"
Lin Sanjiu didn't have time to pay attention to him. She was not as angry as the cleaner, she just shook her head lightly; but the calmer she was, the firmer her refusal was, which immediately made the young man anxious.
"Aren't you looking for Stan?" he said hurriedly, "I just heard some news... In this case, you help me clean and I will tell you the news."
"No," she didn't quite believe that this young man happened to know where Octo was, "I don't have time."
"Why are you so busy?" He muttered with thick black eyebrows, "In this case, you can come when you are free."
"You really know?"
"I'm in charge of communication management," explained the thick black eyebrows. "Several channels on the ship are debugged and maintained by our team. Although I have a day off today, I just inquired with the team members, so I got the news.
Much faster than others.”
Lin Sanjiu thought about it for a few seconds: "Okay, you can say it."
The young man glanced at her and said softly: "Stan may be dead."
"What's going on?" Lin Sanjiu was surprised.
"Previously, a passage near the observation deck was damaged, resulting in a leakage and a fire. We were already in a hurry, and when the fire broke out, several members disappeared and their whereabouts are unknown. Since three hours ago,
Someone has been organizing search and rescue efforts, but only two bodies have been found, and there are still a few people who have never been found. One of the people who has not been found is Stan."
How could an evolved person die in a fire?
This question flashed through Lin Sanjiu's mind, and then her mind was filled with the possibility that "Octto is dead" - after all, he was the only possibility for her to find Lu Ze at the moment.
; If he died, she would be sent into a blind alley again.
She did hear Lu Yan mention that someone was missing, and Octo never came back...
No, she suddenly frowned.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell what was wrong for the moment. Although she didn't believe that Octo would die so naturally and easily, she still had a vague feeling that there was something that was always in front of her, but she always turned a blind eye to it -
-Things are often like this. The more mundane and upright something is in front of them, the less likely people are to get to the bottom of it.
What is it?
While she was racking her brains, the murmured questions from the thick-black eyebrows, "Are you coming? When?" fell on deaf ears. Lin Sanjiu nodded subconsciously, and the young man immediately relaxed.
One breath.
"I'll hold the vacuum cleaner first," he said with some solicitude, "in case the cleaner comes and takes it away, although I don't think he will come back for a while -"
Yes, it's been several hours, and the cleaner hasn't come back. Logically speaking, he lost the vacuum cleaner nearby. He should at least come back and ask if anyone has seen it. It's too easy to give up after looking for it once.
...Strange to say, Lu Yan didn't seem to know that there was such a cleaner on the ship...
Forget it, it shouldn't be important.
But Lin Sanjiu shook her head and shook the middle-aged cleaner out of her mind.
Tan Zhang was still searching for her outside. Even though she was wearing a mask, she was not completely evasive. In terms of force, she was actually superior to Tan Zhang and his group; however, once she was entangled by them, she would inevitably stumble.
Stumbling, hindering her from doing things - after thinking about it, she actually felt that there seemed to be no other better way than to continue waiting in the room.
"I really wish I could do something instead of just waiting..."
She sighed, got back into the closet, and closed the door. Through the gap in the door's fan blades, her eyes happened to be on the door - as soon as Octo entered the door, she would immediately become like a tiger.
Pounce on your prey.
Half an hour later, the door opened, but what was disappointing was that it was still not Octo who walked in.
The rectangular face seemed to be exhausted by his task. He leaned against the door and let out a long sigh of relief, then shuffled in and poured a glass of water. He took a few sips and sat down on Stan's bed.
, straightened his legs.
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment, and then her mind suddenly brightened. Just as she was startled, her elbow accidentally touched something; there was a slight collision in the closet, and the rectangular face suddenly raised its head.
In an instant, Lin Sanjiu had opened the door and turned into a swift shadow and rushed towards him.
With a heavy muffled sound, the rectangular face was caught off guard by her neck and knocked off the edge of the bed; he struggled and kicked hard, his face turned purple, and he asked intermittently: "You...who are you...let go"
I……"
Lin Sanjiu smiled and really let go of one hand.
Just when the rectangular face suddenly swiped her backhand from the waist and saw something was taken out, her loosened hand clasped his neck again like lightning. This time, the hand that closed around his neck
But it wasn't just the fingers; a circle of light shone brightly, reflecting a circle of white near the throat.
The expression on the rectangular face was stagnant, his eyes turned downward, staring at the light on his neck, and the hand holding the special item stopped moving.
"Who are you?" He watched Lin Sanjiu get up from him. He didn't dare to move rashly for a moment, and lowered his voice and asked, "Why did you attack me?"
"You are really a creature of habit," Lin Sanjiu looked down at him and stepped lightly on his chest with a boot. Both of them had no doubt that as long as she exerted force on her feet at this moment, his sternum would probably be broken.
into pieces.
"This is the second time." She continued softly. "The first time I asked you what your name was, you were distracted. Subconsciously, out of habit, you told me your real name - Octo.
, not the Stan Smith you pretend to be."
The rectangular face remained motionless for a few seconds, and then slowly and tentatively got up. Even though he didn't make a sound, the look in his eyes was enough to show that he knew who the person in front of him was.
"Oh," he said dryly.
"The second time, just now..." Lin Sanjiu crossed her arms and glanced at the bed, "You thought there was no one in the room, so you didn't feel alert, and still sat on your own bed as usual... ...that is, Stan's bed. It seems that you have just transformed, and you still need some time to adapt to your new identity. Where is your original roommate? Is he dead?"
Octo pursed his lips tightly, his face as smooth as a stone brick.
Lin Sanjiu bent down and looked at his face, which was exactly the same as mine.
"Compared with your roommate, I care more about another person. Tell me, who transformed you? Where is this person now?"
Ah, I saw Mr. Zia knocking on the wall again! Is it because of the puppet master who is about to appear at the corner? Is it Xiaomi? Who is it? I want to visit him more!
