The room was quiet for a while, and then Octo slowly sighed. He sat on the edge of the bed, put his hands on his knees, and when he looked at Lin Sanjiu, he couldn't tell whether the expression on his face was helplessness or ridicule - or both.
There is.
Lin Sanjiu pressed her fangs against the floor and said nothing.
Under the pressure of silence, Octo finally spoke: "...Have you ever heard of the 'Planting Pledge'?"
"No."
Octo was silent for a while, smiled bitterly, and suddenly blurted out something that seemed to be without thinking: "Why does the Creator always prefer one to the other?"
Lin Sanjiu raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"
He hesitated for a few seconds, shook his head, and changed the topic.
"No, it's nothing. Have you really never heard of Planting Oath? It is an ability that has only been discovered recently... Recently, advertisements for hiring people with this ability have been flying all over the twelve worlds."
Lin Sanjiu finally understood why Octo refused to say a word when he was pretending to be Stan. When he spoke naturally, his eyes were flowing, his voice was gentle, and he was a bit more feminine than ordinary women; paired with Stan and other
My roommate's voice and face were strange, abrupt and uncomfortable.
Those suspender skirts probably belonged to Octo himself... It turned out that "he" was a woman. She almost forgot that transformation was not necessarily limited to people of the same gender.
"Go on. What's the relationship between this ability and the person who transformed you?"
"It is precisely because of the planting oath that I cannot reveal this person's information to you." Octor shrugged, "It can turn the promise made by a person into an entity, and then plant it inside the person's body, making the person
You must never break your oath within a certain period of time. If you don’t believe what I say, you can go to the bulletin board and ask."
Lin Sanjiu felt that these words were vaguely familiar. After thinking about it, she asked intentionally: "What will happen if we violate it?"
Octo glanced at her with the end of his eyes. Next, he uttered an almost identical answer to 12: "It's not what will happen, but I simply 'can't' do it."
12, was confirmed by another person at this moment; obviously they were all under the "Planting Oath" - it seems that "X", who was unwilling to let others find Lu Ze or himself, actually spent the time.
He spent so much time hiding his whereabouts. Could it be that X himself is a [Planting Oath] ability user?
As if he was afraid that she wouldn't believe it, Octo raised his wrist and rolled up his sleeves gently. Between the two floating veins, there was a small seed pattern printed like a tattoo, which had just sprouted.
"Seventeen months," Octo touched it and said calmly, "After seventeen months, it will completely open, wither, and disappear. If you ask me again then, I can tell you what it looks like.
, what's your name? Otherwise, even if you kill me now, you won't be able to get a word - although I am not willing to lose my life to keep other people's secrets."
Seventeen months later, the corpses of Bohemia and the Puppet Master would probably be cold by now.
Unexpectedly, he encountered another setback - Lin Sanjiu was full of anxiety and immediately replied: "I don't need you to tell me. I already know his name and what he looks like. I just need to know where he is!"
"Ah, I really don't know this."
"How can it be?"
"Every time, that person takes the initiative... to call me. I don't know where he stays on the ship." There was a pause in the middle of this sentence, as if he didn't know how to word it.
Seeing that she stopped talking, Octo sighed and continued: "I transformed into a member of the Night Tour and got on the ship just because I wanted to participate in the experiment and get rid of the doomsday reincarnation. It really has nothing to do with you at all.
, and I don’t care about the person who transformed me at all...but it’s a headache for me to get involved in this kind of trouble. If possible, I hope to tell you everything you want to know, so that you can
Let me go early."
"But when you reported me to Tan Zhang, you didn't hesitate at all." Lin Sanjiu sneered. "Moreover, after you reported me, you were afraid that I would cause trouble for you, so you immediately went to Lu Ze - the one who reported me
The person you transformed - changed you into the form of your roommate. Aren't you able to escape yourself?"
Perhaps after hearing the name Luze, Octo moved a little unnaturally.
"If you put yourself in my position and think about it, if a person suddenly becomes suspicious of me for no reason, it is very likely that my plan will be ruined... Is it natural for me to attack him first? It's just that I didn't expect Tan Zhang.
It’s useless, it doesn’t look like you even have a scratch.”
"So, you are completely useless to me?" Lin Sanjiu's eyes turned on his neck and her voice deepened: "Then I can't find any reason to keep you alive. You survive, as long as
It will become my future trouble."
"My dear, even with this, you may not be able to kill me."
Although Octo's face was a little pale, he stubbornly raised his head, straightened his back with a bit of pride, and crossed his legs: "What's more, the person who transformed me didn't know that I had been exposed.
.If I were you, I would leave myself a way out... As long as you act smart next, you can always follow the clues from me to find that person."
Lin Sanjiu thought for a few seconds and asked, "How could the planting oath allow you to do this?"
"You misunderstood," Octo shook his head. "If I knew you were nearby, of course I couldn't deliberately meet that person under such circumstances, otherwise wouldn't I be your guide? But if your whereabouts are very
Hiding, I don’t even know if you are around, so it doesn’t count as a violation of the oath. So, don’t tell me where you plan to hide, when you plan to hide, and how you pretend to be..."
The man was as slippery as a greased fox.
Thinking about it now, even 12 was trying every means to reveal information to himself at that time... It seems that no matter how incredible the external constraints are, they are not as willing as people's consent.
Lin Sanjiu made a decision quickly - partly because Octo was trapped in space like her and couldn't go anywhere except the Yuehai Ship; even if he wanted to transform again to avoid her, he had to fight with Lu first
It only takes one meeting.
"You'd better not try to tip off Tan Zhang," she warned, taking off the halo around Octo's neck: "He is not a threat to me, but I can find you at any time... After all, you still have to
Now I will continue to stay on the ship in this capacity."
"If you don't report me with Tan Zhang, there is no need for me to do anything more." Octo stared at the aperture and slowly left his neck, "So we...understand each other, right?"
Lin Sanjiu didn't trust him at all, so she didn't say a word.
No news from Lu Ze means that Bohemia and the puppet master will still not be found for a while; but she has experienced too many setbacks and dangers in the past, but she has developed a persistent and strong character, even if
Even setbacks can't dampen her fighting spirit. Sometimes she is like a maned dog that has found a target, and can track it tirelessly and endlessly - the puppeteer was so annoyed by her once that he called her temperament "
Chronic ulcers that won’t heal.”
She sighed softly in her heart, and when she passed by Octo's roommate's bed, an idea suddenly came to her mind.
"I just don't have anywhere to go," she patted the empty bed. "Is your roommate dead? You probably don't mind if I stay here temporarily, right? We are all women anyway."
Hearing the last sentence, Octo's eyes suddenly flashed - he was as happy as a girl who couldn't help but curl up her lips when receiving a bouquet of flowers from her lover. He raised his toes and coughed.
Two voices: "He disappeared, but I didn't kill him. He probably died in the riot. But you can't live here."
Lin Sanjiu lifted up the pillow, looked at it, and asked casually: "Why?"
"Why are you so stupid! I already said that if you were here, then due to the binding force of the oath, I would definitely warn that person not to come." Octo waved his hand, "Besides, there are usually people in the room.
At that time, that person never came to call me."
"oh,"
When Lin Sanjiu straightened up, she had already stuffed the diary card through the gap in the pillow case and pressed it under the pillow core. She couldn't monitor the area day and night, so this card came in handy; as long as Lu Ze got close
She will definitely know this room!
"I hope you can cooperate a little. Believe me, you definitely don't want to have an enemy like me."
After asking Octo for his room key card, she gave a serious warning - but to be honest, it was just a show. She wanted the other party to think that her surveillance would come from the door.
Outside; because she felt a little unsure, that's why she needed to warn him.
This hint hidden between the lines was indeed accepted by Octo without any doubts.
He watched her walk out of the door, and when she was about to close the door, he sighed quietly: "...there are too many people I can't afford to offend recently."
When Lin Sanjiu raised her eyebrows, the door had already slid shut again.
As she walked towards the bulletin board, Octo's words kept echoing in her mind for some reason. Luzer was not a person who would be feared, even if he had special abilities; Octo alluded to
It should not be Lu Ze, but X, right?
But he said "it's too much"... Besides X, who else?
Last time she pretended to be a jilted woman looking for a boyfriend and posted an announcement with 12 detailed physical descriptions; this kind of content really stimulates human nature - now there are dozens of new replies.
But none of them are valuable.
Lin Sanjiu thought for a while, and then added: "I can't forget him, but he always lies to me, and his promises will never be fulfilled. Does anyone know where I can find a person with the ability of [Planting Oath]? I can see it right now.
The reincarnation is about to be broken, and I want him to abide by his vows and live a good life with me..."
This time, before she could close the message stream, a new reply suddenly popped up.
