Even though she asked Bliss to search and rescue Yu Yuan, why is it that the mbers of the Twelve Organizations are the ones who found him now?
Lin Sanjiu walked out of the tavern with doubts in her mind, carrying this biggest discovery back to Exodus.
After parting ways at the exhibition hall, she never had a chance to contact Bliss. Later on, it beca even more impossible after she had to feign death. Could it be that Bliss couldn't find Yu Yuan and gave up, allowing him to be found by the Twelve Organizations?
That was certainly possible, but she couldn't help but think of another possibility.
If there is soone within Luther's personalities who is a mber of the Twelve Organizations and learned about Yu Yuan from Bliss, then... could they be using this information to lure her out?
"Such a nuisance," Lin Sanjiu sighed and released her Higher Consciousness. The barbell she had been holding high in the sky plumted to the ground. "Why do they have to kill ?"
Just as the 80kg barbell was about to hit the ground, her Higher Consciousness surged forward once again and entered through the narrow gap below, unsteadily lifting it back up. This demonstrated the flexibility and resilience of her Higher Consciousness, a result of her training. This could be heard in the heavy panting of Mrs. Manas.
"Regardless of whether this is their trap or not, I have to go and see." Lin Sanjiu manipulated her Higher Consciousness, gradually lifting the barbell into mid-air, but she started to feel the strain. "Hey, are you okay?"
"Ab-about to... die..."
Mrs. Manas managed to squeeze out half a sentence, followed by a loud thud as the barbell finally crashed onto the floor, leaving a shallow white pit. The sound echoed in the gym for a long ti, and Lin Sanjiu almost didn't hear the sound of the door being opened.
"What are you doing?"
Bohemia's head peeked in through the crack in the door.
She had recently experienced a comprehensive imrsion in modern human society's technology and was living quite luxuriously. Products like shower gel, lotion, and other chemical products, as well as vegetables, at, and other agricultural products, were considered rare luxuries in the Twelve Realms. She was like a mouse that had entered a granary and had been pampering herself for a few days, leaving her skin smooth and radiant.
But even with so many books and music on the spaceship, it didn't stop her from constantly sticking her head out behind Lin Sanjiu.
"I'm exercising my Higher Consciousness," Lin Sanjiu replied, suddenly rembering that her Higher Consciousness level was quite high. "Don't you train?"
Bohemia chuckled through her nose. "Train like you? No way."
"So how do you train then?" It seed that Lin Sanjiu had never seen Bohemia's Higher Consciousness outside the Astral Plane. "What does your Higher Consciousness manifest as?"
"...It's 'a garden of intersecting paths,'" Bohemia stepped into the room barefoot, and with each step, countless ornants on her body shimred. "When I train, I need to communicate my own spirituality with the divinity of the universe, achieving resonance on a higher level... I've never used thods like your foolish muscle training."
Spirituality and divinity, it was all just hippie nonsense.
"My Higher Consciousness manifests as a school," Lin Sanjiu wanted to ask her so questions about Higher Consciousness but was afraid that she would realize how far she was from the highest level. After hesitating for a few seconds, she blurted out, "I have a friend who was found by the Twelve Organizations."
Bohemia crossed her legs and sat down, although her expression seed to say, "What does it have to do with ," she didn't say anything and waited for Lin Sanjiu to continue.
"Don't misunderstand, he wasn't pursued by the Twelve Organizations," Lin Sanjiu explained, retracting her Higher Consciousness and sitting face to face. "After he was injured, he wandered around and happened to be saved by the Twelve Organizations." - If this wasn't a trap set by Luther's personalities.
"Hey, he's pretty lucky," Bohemia said nonchalantly, not even pretending to show any concern. She pulled out a small handful of cashew nuts from her pocket and asked while eating, "You didn't rush to save him?"
"I did," Lin Sanjiu realized sothing was off after she spoke. She summoned her Higher Consciousness, wanting to see if she could use it to take the nuts from Bohemia's hand. "But I didn't find him at the ti... and later on, circumstances didn't allow to go and find him again."
"This person is quite lucky." Bohemia stared at the Higher Consciousness in mid-air, and her eyes followed it as it slowly moved to her hand - even though Higher Consciousness was invisible and colorless, it seed to be visible to people with stronger Higher Consciousness. "Generally speaking, the Twelve Organizations won't voluntarily do acts of charity, but if they happen to co across soone in a dire situation, they might lend a hand. After all, we're all their cash cows. What are you doing?"
In her precise manipulation, Lin Sanjiu montarily lost control of her Higher Consciousness and pushed Bohemia's hand, causing all the cashew nuts to hit her body and scatter on the floor.
"Aren't you bored!" Bohemia seed unaware of Lin Sanjiu's poor control of her Higher Consciousness. "You wasted the food, pick them up!"
"Okay, okay."
Lin Sanjiu swept the floor with her Higher Consciousness a couple of tis but eventually switched to using her hand. "So how do they handle the person after rescuing them?"
"How do they handle it? They handle it however they see fit. If the injuries are severe, they'll probably be taken to a dical station," Bohemia picked up a cashew nut, blew off so dust from it with a hint of reluctance, but after glancing at the woman in front of her, she resisted the urge to eat it and tucked it into her pocket.
"There are dical stations?" Lin Sanjiu was surprised and stood up abruptly. "Where are they?"
It was indeed possible that Yu Yuan was taken to a dical station due to his severe injuries.
"Don't you know? There are several of them."
"Tell about the one closest to Black Market."
However, no matter how much Bohemia spoke, she still failed to clearly explain the location of the dical station. Although Lin Sanjiu could go and inquire later, she couldn't be sure if the situation with Yu Yuan was a trap and didn't dare to interact with people indiscriminately. Moreover, it would be safer and unexpected for the Luther personalities to have soone guiding them. With these thoughts in mind, she raised her chin towards Bohemia. "Let's go, you're coming with ."
Bohemia's face instantly fell.
"Why should I go? What's it got to do with ?" Reluctantly, she swept the cashew into her hand. "Just go by yourself. I still have a book to finish."
"I shut down Silas."
"Why are you like this?"
That's just how Lin Sanjiu was. In order to make Bohemia obediently comply, she added another promise. "If you accompany , I'll treat you to fried potato sticks when we return."
It was a food Bohemia had never tried before. That evening, the two of them left Exodus together. After a few twists and turns, they finally arrived in the area where Black Market was located the next morning. The place was crowded during the day, so to conserve energy, Lin Sanjiu quietly sneaked into a private garage after signing in and slept until evening before making her way to the dical station.
From what Bohemia had said, the so-called dical station seed to be a building converted from a pre-apocalyptic "Disease Control Center." Individuals with dical backgrounds, skills, or dical-related items could register with the Twelve Organization and assu corresponding roles in the dical station, earning a certain amount of service fees. However, due to the resilience of the Evolved, there were not many doctors stationed in the dical stations.
"I know a cat that would definitely be willing to be a resident doctor at the dical station." Lin Sanjiu thought of Dr. owie Hu and sighed softly in her heart.
"...What are you talking about in your dreams?"
Bohemia rolled her eyes in the dark night and still felt resentful about being coerced and lured out. "Stop talking nonsense. The dical station is right ahead."
Lin Sanjiu looked up and saw a five-story building standing among scattered low houses in the distance. The old signboard had long lost its light, and only when rows of round streetlights slowly drifted through the air could it barely illuminate the old sign that read "dical Station."
A few scattered lights could be seen through the windows of the rooms inside the building, but the open door looked like a dark abyss. Although there weren't many doctors, and it wasn't a regular pre-apocalyptic formal hospital, the rule of "night duty" seed to have been preserved. However, it appeared that the person on night duty was rather careless.
The area around the dical station was deathly silent, except for the occasional insect chirping, there was no suspicious movent.
"You keep watch outside for ," Lin Sanjiu whispered, coming to a halt first. Bohemia made a lot of noise while walking, which made her unsuitable for sneaking into the dical station together. "Pay attention to whether anyone follows inside."
Bohemia didn't want to look at Lin Sanjiu's masked face and impatiently made a sound from her nose, "Hmm."
"Stay alert! Don't fall asleep!"
"Stop talking nonsense." Bohemia swung her hand back and forth with the back of her hand, and the bracelets on her wrist made a pleasant jingling sound. But when Lin Sanjiu looked back for the second ti, the spot where the woman with long curly hair had stood was empty—Bohemia had silently disappeared from the spot without making a sound.
There truly were no diocre individuals in the sea of consciousness.
Lin Sanjiu casually put her hands in her pockets and slowly walked towards the entrance of the building. With the disguise of the mask, even if soone was currently monitoring this place, they wouldn't be able to recognize her true identity at first glance. She must not arouse any suspicion now.
Inside the open doorway, a gloomy darkness floated. As she approached the entrance, she felt a chilling coldness that was even colder than outside, mixed with the sll of iron. Lin Sanjiu entered the lobby and looked around with the faint light that seeped in from sowhere before turning and heading up the stairs.
According to the signs in the lobby, the patients who needed to be hospitalized were all on the upper floor. However, when she reached the corner of the staircase, she slowly ca to a halt.
Even in a dical station, there shouldn't be a severed head lying on the stairs, right?
