Doomsday Wonderland Vol. 12: New Game Launch [Complete]

1380: Blue Wall

She could not stop running.

Running at high speed, the strong wind blew Lin Sanjiu's long hair, fluttering around her ears. Occasionally, strands of jet-black hair scraped past her eyes, then quickly disappeared. Even though she was running, her hands and feet were still cold. It took great effort for her to resist the urge to reach out and tear off her hair.

Not only were her pupils lighter in color, but her hair color was also somewhat browner than that of the average Asian. During the ten-plus months she spent in the modern world, she kept her hair short, like a boy's. Which meant that the long black hair fluttering in the wind was not her own.

Or rather, her hair had become like this the moment the Blue Wall Watcher had stuck to her back.

What would happen if she was touched by him again?

No matter how fast she ran, the Blue Wall Watcher remained about ten meters behind her. However, the moment she slowed down, the sound of his chair being pulled closer would resound, and he would approach her. She had to keep running at her top speed, avoiding anything colored blue in her field of vision.

"Don't stop running," the grand prize said from the communicator, interrupted intermittently by the wind. "If he catches up, you'll start to turn into a Blue Wall Watcher. Give me a few minutes. There must be some clues in this town. Just a few minutes..."

The Blue Wall Watchers also chased Silvan and Nu Yue, the stronger ones in their respective groups. This clearly was the standard for the Blue Wall Watchers in selecting their targets; they wanted to keep the strongest person occupied, unable to do anything other than run.

The three were forced to maintain their highest speed. When Silvan ran by at high speed, it was like a thunderous lightning rushing across the ground. However, he was still quite comfortable, and while running, he blew up all the blue cars on the road ahead for the two.

The blue wall seemed to refer to any blue background, so anything larger than a person and colored blue could trigger a Blue Wall Watcher.

All attacks, hindrances, and items thrown at the Blue Wall Watchers were as ineffective as a breeze against a rock, fading away silently. The remaining people dared not continue to look for Blue Wall Watchers. They had shifted from fearing not finding them to fearing finding them. Yet time kept passing, and the figures on the town's numerous TV screens were getting closer and closer.

"Do you have any clues yet?" Lin Sanjiu asked, her words almost swallowed by the gust of wind.

"No... not yet," Ji Shanqing said in a tight voice. He seemed to be talking to himself more than answering her. "The countdown is on the screen... there are no people in each household... no people... Where have the residents gone?"

In the whooshing wind, the sound of a chair leg scraping was clear and distinct, once again drawing near.

Gritting her teeth, Lin Sanjiu abruptly leaped towards a two-story building beside her. As she somersaulted onto the roof, she didn't have time to look back. With a push from her feet, she leaped towards the lamppost in mid-air. Her hands tightly gripped the post, and her body flipped in the air, landing her feet on the thin pole. Looking down, the Blue Wall Watcher on the road below had stopped moving, and she could only see a dark head.

'Great, that thing can't get up here.'

Lin Sanjiu quickly bent down to pick up the communicator, saying, "Guys, quickly jump to..."

She stopped mid-sentence. She stared at the communicator in her hand, then at the suit sleeve on her arm, and suddenly forgot what she was going to say.
