In less than a second, Lin Sanjiu decided to replace the woman beside her.
The phrase she used might sound a bit strange—after all, she forcefully pushed Bohemia into her room and pulled the rectangular-faced puppet next to her. With a quick squat, she hoisted him onto her shoulder.
With a loud "bang," she closed the door heavily and had Silas lock it. Then she shouted to the person inside the room, "I'm going to kill soone. Stay hidden!"
Bohemia, never one to obediently follow orders, imdiately pounded on the door. As the sound of knocking echoed, the system, unaware of the situation, imdiately played Lin Sanjiu's recording, "I'm taking a shower, talk later!"—it probably thought soone was knocking on the door outside.
The sudden recording seed to startle Bohemia. Taking advantage of her montary confusion, Lin Sanjiu turned and left, leaving behind the faint words, "Hello, are you back?"
She didn't conceal her footsteps, nor did she worry about alerting Lyanna.
When Lyanna saw her rushing into the control room, her face turned pale, and she pressed her back against the corner of the console as if she wanted to shrink into it. She had been shouting at the personalities to return imdiately all this ti, her voice growing hoarse. Lyanna was lucky. Just as Lin Sanjiu was about to pounce on her, the personalities that had hurriedly returned to the "headquarters" once again erged from Luther and managed to intercept them in the nick of ti.
Lyanna's face was covered in cold sweat, her legs went weak, and she heaved a long sigh of relief.
Lin Sanjiu halted her steps and scanned the personalities. This ti Bliss was gone, and she didn't know which personality was guarding the "headquarters." Only Twelve, the little boy, and the unfamiliar man remained on high alert.
Lyanna raised both hands, looking at her trembling fingertips, then looked up at Lin Sanjiu. Her fear gradually dissipated, and she couldn't help but smile with a pale face and shining eyes, "That was so thrilling! It was so exciting."
"Do you think this is a ga?"
"No, of course not."
Lyanna slowly got up and smiled at Lin Sanjiu, a smile mixed with a bit of lingering fear and unfulfilled excitent. She couldn't help but say, "But I've only been in this world for a short ti, much shorter than it seems. There are so many things I want to experience. Since I split from him, I've found this world to be so rich and exciting... Escaping death feels like this! I never knew my heart could beat so fast. Although it was thrilling, I think I won't play like this next ti."
"There are even more thrilling things."
Lin Sanjiu put the puppet on her shoulder down and glanced at his eyes. Puppeteer, who was controlling him, must be weak at this mont. The puppet couldn't speak and couldn't stand straight; it seed like all his strength was being saved for a blade. "Open the pocket dinsion," she whispered to the puppet.
With that scene just now, it was enough to dispel the illusion among her companions.
In an instant, a familiar white light flashed before Lin Sanjiu's eyes—accompanied by a low exclamation from Lyanna.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself standing in ankle-deep green water. The serene surface of the lake was surrounded by layers of tree shadows in the distance. Near a pile of tombstone-like pedal boats, the shallow reflections of drifting clouds glimred. It was strange that even with such shallow water levels at the beginning, it was still able to subrge the mountain-like pile of bodies below. She turned her head and indeed saw Luther's body, the several personalities, and Lyanna standing in the water, each wearing an expression of surprise.
But no matter how surprised they were, it seed pale in comparison to the astonishnt in the voice from the pocket dinsion's loudspeaker.
"Welco... Oh, wait a minute!" The pocket dinsion host, who was always heard but never seen, seed unable to believe his own eyes. "This, this is... It looks like there are six people, but in reality, there are only two? What's going on?"
Did Luther's body count as a person?
Could that an he didn't die—
The flicker of hope barely ford, but the voice from the loudspeaker quickly corrected itself, "Oh, this one doesn't count as a living person, at best he's a living corpse. Strange, then how about these few... Hey, what kind of guests did you bring this ti?"
Under the sudden surge of despair, Lin Sanjiu almost bit her lips until they bled.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and managed to restrain herself—she had to ensure that she could escape from this pocket dinsion first.
"What if we don't rent a boat?" She stared at Lyanna, her voice trembling, unable to see what preparations the other personalities were making. "I'll give you whatever rent you want. Just this ti, don't flood it. Give ... Give a few minutes."
As long as Lyanna was inside the pocket dinsion, she couldn't destroy the control room. Without this sword hanging over Lin Sanjiu's head, she was confident that Lyanna would never be able to leave here alive.
"Why would you feel embarrassed?" The voice from the loudspeaker sounded perplexed. Perhaps, since becoming a pocket dinsion entity, it had never encountered such a situation before. "I have to flood the area when guests enter so that you can enjoy the pleasure of boating..."
"Who's going to compete for boats?" Lin Sanjiu sneered. "Do you have good boats? According to the six visitors who entered the pocket dinsion, you should have four good boats. But except for , these five people can all retreat into a single body with just a mont's notice. How do you expect us to fight each other for the boats?"
"Well... Actually, there's only one good boat left," the pocket dinsion sounded as if it was seeking her opinion.
"Do you think that's fair? They can disperse into twelve individuals to attack whenever they want. Twelve people attacking alone. You might as well just give them the boat."
The pocket dinsion was silenced by her words. After a while, hesitantly, the voice from the loudspeaker said, "In that case... I won't flood the area. However, every 30 minutes, I will still collect four Special Items or one Evolution Ability from both sides. Even if you and I are familiar with each other, there are no exceptions."
"No problem," Lin Sanjiu stared at Lyanna—her eyes were barely enough, continuously scanning the pocket dinsion. "...Her life will be in your hands."
Lyanna trembled for a mont before coming back to her senses. But her first words to Lin Sanjiu had nothing to do with her impending doom.
"Is this also a pocket dinsion?" She murmured as if she were in a dream. "I... I've only seen three pocket dinsions, and they're all different from this one."
Her eyes sparkled as she looked around, not getting enough of the view. She squatted down and playfully traced the water with her fingertips, laughing at the cool sensation, "It's real water! What do you think a pocket dinsion is like..."
Before she could finish her sentence, the [Tornado Whip] dove into the water. Like lightning tearing through the sky, the twisting wind dragon split the surface of the lake, sending a gust of air and water rushing towards her. Lyanna, caught off guard, only managed to let out a half-hearted scream before disappearing from the water—clearly, her combat power wasn't high, and she imdiately had to hide back inside Luther's body when danger arose.
