965 The tango in the dark

Do not move.

Don't look up.

Don't reply to messages.

Lin Sanjiu stared intently at the message in front of her, her back muscles tightening subconsciously. Just before she was about to click on the reply and read it carefully, she suddenly realized the true meaning of the reply - in an instant, like

Even her bones were immersed in the winter river water filled with broken ice. When she came to her senses in the bright and cold consciousness, all her movements stopped.

She stood motionless in the entanglement of light blue light, turned on [Pure Touch], and at the same time tried to use her peripheral vision, skin and intuition to feel every flow in the surrounding environment.

... There is only one place on this ship, the bulletin board, where you can post and reply to messages.

Her message received an immediate reply, which meant that there was only one possibility: the person who claimed to be a [Planting Oath] ability user was also standing on the "bulletin board" at this moment.

Is it X?

With excitement, her fingertips trembled slightly, and she immediately clenched them tightly and folded her arms.

If she reacts to that reply at this moment, or looks up to look for it, she will undoubtedly expose herself to that person. Before she knows for sure who the other person is, she cannot let the other person know which person is her——

Lin San frowned while drinking a certain piece of information, pretending to be deep in thought.

She now looks like a middle-aged man, and the other person will probably not be suspicious of her for a while. As long as she does not move, the person will not be sure who issued the missing person announcement. But this is only a temporary solution...

...If the announcement never gets a reply, then the people who have not moved in the field will become suspicious targets.

Yes, when she thought of this, her nerves suddenly jumped - the triggered intuition muttered to herself deep in her mind.

Yes, she could feel that someone's gaze was moving across the room in circles, hiding quickly and passing by in a flash; like a flashlight flashing across the dark mountains, or a temporary illusion in the corner of her field of vision.

Yes, the other party is looking for her.

There cannot be exactly two users with the rare [Planting Oath] ability on a mere cross-sea ship; the other party must be X, or someone related to X.

Something to do with

Judging from 12’s experience before boarding the ship, besides Lin Sanjiu, who else would be looking for him at this time?

While she was meditating, she released a trickle of consciousness and gently "clicked" on the light blue announcement in front of her.

Following this line of thinking, X must have known that Lin Sanjiu was on the ship, and probably also knew how she got on the ship. But why didn't he show up and take direct action against him? Although, being direct is not X's fault.

His style of doing things - his actions and plans are like a mountain road with countless twists and turns, making people unclear about his true goal.

This time, is it possible that when X found her on the boat, Lin Sanjiu happened to hide her whereabouts because she wanted to avoid Tan Zhang, so she couldn't be found?

If this is the case... then if she is X, there may be no better way besides monitoring the bulletin board.

Ever since Lin Sanjiu boarded the Yuehai, she had fallen into a blinding darkness. She didn't even know if the target was actually in this darkness. In order to spy on her opponent's location, she sent out a message - like

He took a tentative step forward in the darkness.

The other party immediately grasped the clue and took a step closer to her.

...It's like a pas de deux in the dark, each holding a sharp knife and getting closer.

Lin Sanjiu was not very flexible with the subtle control of her consciousness, but she still used it to respond with "Really?" - Of course, during the process of posting the reply, she kept her arms tightly folded in front of her chest.

.

As soon as the message was sent successfully, she immediately raised her eyes and swiped it.

In the eyes of others, the motionless self should have nothing to do with the message just posted, right?

The person who was secretly looking for her should focus on the evolver who had just moved his hands; perhaps it was a coincidence that when she posted the reply, there happened to be four people nearby who had touched her

The flow of information in front of you.

The other party will definitely find the target among the people who make moves; and while he is searching, Lin Sanjiu will have a chance to find out who he is - because the ship is not peaceful, there are many fewer people on the bulletin board than usual today.

She pretended to reach out to grab other information, and looked around slightly from the corner of her eye, but she didn't see anyone looking around - only a man pushed away the light blue information flow around him and strode away from the exit.

.

She hesitated for a few seconds, feeling that he had nothing to do with it.

Is it in the other direction?

Lin Sanjiu waited for a moment, then naturally turned her head and took a quick glance. If someone was also looking at the Evolver, then he must be more secretive than her; because she still didn't see any clues——

Wait a minute——

how come?

Her eyes paused, and she almost gave out her clues out of surprise. She reacted immediately and turned her head back in a hurry; but she definitely didn't see it wrong. In the light blue light group on her left, stood a figure she was very familiar with.

familiar person.

This man had a long conversation with her in Octo's room not long ago.

The rectangular face belonging to Octo's roommate was staring expressionlessly at the light blue messages that passed quickly in front of him. He didn't send messages or reply, he just stood with his hands hanging down, and seemed to read them for a long time.

.

This person couldn't be Octo, and he couldn't do it in terms of time. So, it turns out that the roommate with the rectangular face was not dead?

Now Octo is in trouble.

Lin Sanjiu thought of this and suddenly looked at the light blue light in front of him.

That person never replied to her again, and the "Really?" she sent was hanging alone at the end of the reply chain, as if it had been forgotten.

She took another vain step in the darkness, but her opponent retreated.

She slowly frowned.

...Is it the person who left just now?

Or is it that X just wants to see who will chase the person who just left?

The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt, as if anything was possible; just when she was hesitating, she saw the rectangular face step into a ball of light blue light, and quickly disappeared from the exit where the last man left.

Almost in a flash of thought, Lin Sanjiu had already decided to follow him: as soon as Octo met him, he would have to find Lu Ze to transform again. This was a good opportunity to get to the bottom of it!

She was sure, but she didn't expect that as soon as she walked out of the light ball, she heard another door open behind her; she subconsciously turned around and saw Lu Yan standing at the door - the little girl seemed nervous and a little excited.

As if, his face turned pale, and he shouted into the room: "Which organization are you from? No matter, come with me first. I am a night traveler, and we are in urgent need of manpower!"

"what happened?"

Startled by her, several evolvers walked out of the light group one after another, asking questions one by one.

Why did he get blocked again at this moment?

Naturally, Lin Sanjiu didn't go up - she stood there for a few seconds, and saw other evolvers gathered one after another, and quietly retreated to the door. Fortunately, everyone's attention was attracted away

, without paying attention to her, she smoothly slipped through the crack in the door and retreated into the corridor.

As soon as the door closed, she immediately sped up and chased after the increasingly smaller figure in the distance.
