Doomsday Wonderland Vol. 10: Lava [Complete]

1295: Nothing at All

"No matter who you are, it's not right to use someone's trust like this," Lin Sanjiu spoke just like the grand prize, sitting on the wall with her legs crossed, leisurely. She had no hurry to go down and catch the person—there was no need for that.

Thinking about how close she was to being deceived into letting the wolf into her home, she was more than happy to let the person below struggle for a while longer.

"How could you use someone else's identity like that?" Her tone was like that of an old lady admonishing her grandson, deliberately dragging out her words, making the voice hit the ears of the person 'Mr. Ito' down there. It sounded particularly out of place amidst the muffled groan from the impact with the air.

The grand prize chuckled at the side and complained, acting spoiled, "Sis, you've said enough. My hands are sore."

Lin Sanjiu lowered her head and whispered in his ear, "Your Special Item is really too useful."

The grand prize's hands still maintained the pose of holding a camera, firmly trapping 'Mr. Ito' within the frame of his fingers. He turned around and answered, "Don't be fooled by how easy I make it look. It's actually quite complicated to use. Even though the target can't escape from all directions, you still need to set the depth of field correctly... So that the target doesn't retreat all the way to disappear or suddenly pounce on you."

"Do the aperture and the lens matter as well?" Lin Sanjiu humbly asked for advice.

Seeing that these two were about to start a conversation, 'Mr. Ito' became annoyed and impatient. He suddenly stopped, stared at the two on the wall, and coldly questioned, "Aren't you planning to let me out voluntarily?"

"You can use a method if you have one," Ji Shanqing raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying, "I'm just curious..."

Lin Sanjiu turned her head, "Hmm?"

"Sis, if you were an unrelated refugee and heard our announcement just now, would you disguise yourself as Mr. Ito and pretend to be the real owner?" the grand prize asked.

After carefully thinking about it, Lin Sanjiu furrowed her brow.

"Although there's no absolute answer, the likelihood is low, right?" The grand prize was relaxed like having a casual chat, continuing, "For a refugee, there are too many unknowns. First, you don't know the relationship between the person making the announcement and Mr. Ito, which raises the question of whether there's a trap involved. That can be deadly. Secondly, you don't know who Mr. Ito is, where he is, and how can you ensure that you won't expose yourself? Most importantly, we revealed limited information just now, only saying we need to talk to him. Refugees won't see any obvious benefits in impersonating Mr. Ito. So why bother doing it?"

"So, what you mean is..."

"People who can come here are either those who have seen us interact with Mr. Ito, know about our relationship, and understand that we have no intention to harm him; or those who personally know Mr. Ito, are familiar with his behavior, and even if they can't mimic him exactly, they won't easily expose themselves. Lastly, they've observed you and have a certain understanding of your character and mindset, so they would believe that our intention to find Mr. Ito is indeed out of guilt."

Lin Sanjiu listened in a daze and then suddenly glanced at the person below the wall, standing up abruptly, saying, "You are one of the villa owners who participated in the beach barbecue last night!"

As soon as she said this, 'Mr. Ito' suddenly reacted. Although he was still trapped within the camera frame formed by the grand prize's fingers, as he flung his hand, numerous figures suddenly emerged from the ground. They grew in size to be the same as real people in the blink of an eye, and they rushed towards the wall.
