Doomsday Wonderland Vol. 10: Lava [Complete]

1171: A Tea Talk

It turned out that when Hei Zeji was by her side, not only did Lin Sanjiu feel at ease taking risks, but she also felt at ease passing out.

And it's no wonder she passed out. Her body was currently afflicted with numerous problems: a wound at the back of her head, the loss of an arm, missing abilities, lost items, reduced combat power, and the additional weakness caused by the coffee's side effects... For anyone with even slightly weaker willpower, they would probably never have left the patient room. But not only did Lin Sanjiu leave, she also managed to plunder the players and the hospital payment counter.

Her last memory seemed to be a blurred vision before she was timely supported by someone holding her right arm.

But it appeared that her unconsciousness didn't last long. It was only a brief moment until the annoying and sharp alarm sounds persistently pulled her out of her sweet unconscious state. With a start, Lin Sanjiu opened her eyes and called out, "Ya Jiang!"

She had forgotten about Ya Jiang!

That guy was having trouble walking and was left alone on the path, surrounded by angry players. If someone recognized him and knew that he had walked with her... No, that guy was quite clever; he should be fine.

"Who?" came a low, hoarse voice from the darkness beside Lin Sanjiu. "I am not called Ya Jiang."

Looking toward the voice, Lin Sanjiu couldn't see anything clearly. Probably because she had been trapped in a narrow space unknowingly, her limbs felt numb and her blood circulation was restricted. Her neck and back were hurting.

"Where is this place? How long have I been unconscious?" she whispered. "I know, of course, you're not Ya Jiang."

"It's been over four hours," Hei Zeji replied, his voice sounding a bit hoarse but still answering her questions. "This is under the counter of the tea room."

Why did she always end up under a counter—no, wait a minute.

"Four hours?" Lin Sanjiu half-opened her mouth, thinking for a moment. "After I robbed the payment counter, someone robbed it again... Or, is it because the alarm we triggered has been ringing until now?"

"The second one," Hei Zeji said.

'Aren't they too persistent?' Lin Sanjiu's mind felt like it was tied up with countless steel wires. Every time the alarm rang, the wires tightened even more, and when it rang again, they tightened once more.

"Why are we hiding here?" she asked, then realized she hadn't phrased the question well. Of course, they were hiding to avoid NPCs. "I mean... didn't you find a way out?"

"Of course not," Hei Zeji replied curtly.

Lin Sanjiu suddenly had an inappropriate sigh moment. After all these years, Hei Zeji hadn't changed.

After both of them fell silent for half a second, Hei Zeji was the first to speak again. "Where is this place? What's going on?"

He really didn't know anything. Explaining would be quite cumbersome. Lin Sanjiu thought for a moment and answered, "You're also a lava player, so you should—"

"Lava what?"

"Lava player... don't you know? Didn't you register for it?" Lin Sanjiu asked, almost dumbfounded.

"Register?"

Could he have amnesia?

"Do you know who I am?" she asked.

"Of course," Hei Zeji responded.

Lin Sanjiu sighed in her heart and said with a touch of helplessness, "It would take too long to explain everything here. Tell me first how you ended up in that... cloth bag."
