Doomsday Wonderland Vol. 10: Lava [Complete]

1144: An Ambitious Player

Regardless of who the newcomer was, the fact that he had seen her but hadn't revealed himself meant he certainly wasn't Hei Zeji.

Lin Sanjiu exerted force on her feet and shot out from her original position like a bullet, her body transforming into a blur. Although she didn't know what the person hiding in the shadows had planned, if he couldn't even catch her shadow, he wouldn't be able to follow up with his next move.

Unexpectedly, right after she accelerated, she suddenly caught a soft "pff" sound in her ears. It was as if someone was trying hard to suppress laughter but couldn't hold it in and, finally, a burst of air collided with their nasal cavity.

Even though it was a short and quiet nasal sound, Lin Sanjiu immediately recognized it. In fact, there were only three registered players in this area, and she never expected finding him to be so difficult. She cursed silently in her heart and didn't run toward the direction of the nasal sound. Instead, she turned around and dashed toward another building in the opposite direction.

She couldn't afford to startle the snake this time, or she might run into another dead-end.

"You can run," said a voice, just as she moved ten meters away from the store. All the various objects floating in mid-air around her, attacking her non-stop, suddenly stopped moving and fell to the ground. The voice of the old smoker still buzzed excitedly inside the clothing store, and the glass door closed without her realizing it. "You'd better run far away. Tell your companions that whoever dares to target me will meet a bad end! I'm not afraid to let you know that this store and the surrounding area have become my personal domain, ruled by rules set by me. Anyone who enters will have a bad ending. If you don't believe me, you can come and try!"

This person was clearly suffering from persecution delusions!

Lin Sanjiu quickly reached a brick wall. Just a moment before crashing into it, she jumped and grabbed the sign hanging on the side of the building. She used the force of the rebound to land below a window on the second floor of a nearby building.

Not only did the brick wall shatter, including the window frame and glass, but they also turned into flying debris as if they had been hit by small artillery shells. Lin Sanjiu took advantage of the recoil force from her leap and shot out of the exploding fragments like a fish. She soared through the air and landed on the fire escape of the opposite building.

With her hands grabbing the iron frame of the fire escape, she quickly climbed up to the rooftop. Hunching down like a mountain cat, Lin Sanjiu took a few steps forward. She looked outside and saw the back of a person on the second floor of another building, searching for someone.

The [Tornado Whip] stirred up a gale that shattered the entire wall in the blink of an eye.

Breaking through the wind she had caused, Lin Sanjiu landed inside the office after a few tumbles. Ya Jiang had just turned around, raising one arm to shield his face. For some reason, he was still clutching a mop in his other hand, like a competent janitor.

"Are you looking for me?" Lin Sanjiu asked with a faint smile, reaching out to grab him.

"W-wait, wait!" Ya Jiang exclaimed suddenly, jumping several steps backward to the doorway. Waving the mop, he shouted, "This isn't fair!"

Seizing the opportunity when Lin Sanjiu paused for a moment, he kept retreating to the entrance. Swinging the mop, Ya Jiang continued, "I'm not the person who attacked you. If you don't want to cause trouble with the person in the store, why are you looking for me?"

"He's an illegal immigrant and knows nothing," Lin Sanjiu replied calmly, taking a step closer. "What's the use of hiding in his turtle shell? Apart from venting your frustration, it won't achieve anything."
