Doomsday Wonderland Vol. 10: Lava [Complete]

1149: The Inharmonious Duo

'What a great start,' Lin Sanjiu thought, feeling a twinge of regret.

The skinny girl, stubborn as she was, made concessions to Bonnie Bunny but still clung to a semblance of resistance. As a result, she not only informed Bonnie Bunny that Lin Sanjiu "couldn't move for five minutes," but she also unexpectedly opened another portal midair, tossing Ya Jiang out of it.

Theoretically, this should have given them some advantage in what was to come. However, Lin Sanjiu hadn't anticipated that Ya Jiang would land perfectly and precisely, defying all laws of physics, right into Bonnie Bunny's arms.

He must have used [Common Comedy Tropes], effective in previous encounters, but why would it result in such a predicament now?

By the time Lin Sanjiu pieced this together, it was already too late. She lay on the ground, feigning limpness, planning a surprise attack when Bonnie Bunny approached. However, Ya Jiang, caught off guard, involuntarily gasped loudly. He resembled an oversized doll, passively falling into Bonnie Bunny's arms and covering his face. Then, two slender arms encircled from behind, effortlessly lifting Ya Jiang.

"She lied to me," Bonnie Bunny's sweet voice commented. Her words were slightly muffled by Ya Jiang's jacket, but she clearly stated, "You can both move freely now."

As she spoke, Bonnie Bunny seemed to sigh. "There's nothing to be done; betrayal of an agreement is also one of the surprises."

Ya Jiang looked down at the person holding him, then turned to glance at Lin Sanjiu, who had quickly risen to her feet. His expression shifted between embarrassment, fear, and an attempt to appear nonchalant. His array of facial expressions fell short of fully capturing his emotions.

"I, uh... Is she... this person?" Ya Jiang stammered.

Lin Sanjiu's eyes suddenly brightened as an idea flashed through her mind. Seizing the moment, she quickly said, "She's the Lin Sanjiu you are looking for, right?"

From their conversation, Lin Sanjiu deduced that the other party was a woman and a registered player. Naturally, she concluded it was Bonnie Bunny. However, Bonnie Bunny couldn't be certain if Lin Sanjiu was "Lin Sanjiu" or one of the two illegal immigrants. After all, Bonnie Bunny hadn't heard her speak, so she couldn't confirm if she was a player.

Lin Sanjiu considered pretending not to recognize Bonnie Bunny, hoping it might cause enough doubt to create an opportunity.

It was a sound plan, but there was one issue—she and Ya Jiang had no mutual understanding.

"What?" Ya Jiang, taken aback, quickly caught on to her ploy and frowned at her. "Isn't this excuse a little too fake?"

Lin Sanjiu stared at him incredulously, momentarily at a loss for words.

The girl holding Ya Jiang chuckled. "You two are quite interesting!"

She showed no sign of releasing Ya Jiang. Despite her slender build, she held him effortlessly aloft, her strength belying her appearance, while Ya Jiang struggled in vain to free himself.

"But he's right. Pretending not to recognize me won't work," Bonnie Bunny said, her face hidden in Ya Jiang's coat. If not for Ya Jiang's feet dangling in the air, they might have resembled a pair of lovers parting reluctantly. "You're the player Lin Sanjiu, and he's the player Ya Jiang. And you're looking for Hei Zeji, right? Are you friends with that male player?"

Bonnie Bunny's goal was to eliminate all the players... Ya Jiang's words echoed in Lin Sanjiu's mind again.

"So what if we are?" she responded coldly.
