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

1454: One Surprise After Another

The look people unconsciously reveal when taken aback is probably hard to fake or hide. After all, actors like Qing Jiuliu who can do that are rare. Advaita's gaze shifted onto Lin Sanjiu's face, and she furrowed her brows, asking, "You truly have no idea where he went?"

"I wish I did."

Lin Sanjiu pondered over Advaita's words, "When the time came, he disappeared," a few times in her mind, pushing down the rising feelings of uncertainty. "Since he's gone, and I'm not your target, is there any need for us to continue fighting?"

While she said this, she knew too well that Advaita wouldn't be so easygoing. With Silvan missing and given how set Advaita was on finding him, Lin Sanjiu, who had been with him all this while, would be the biggest lead. Anyone in Advaita's place would want to capture Lin Sanjiu in hopes of luring out the actual target.

"Do you have any suggestions?" Advaita asked slowly.

"I'll return the light point you dropped to you, and then we can part ways, not crossing each other's paths again."

To get away from Advaita and quickly search for [Planar World], she must not swallow her light point; otherwise, there would be endless trouble. Between [Planar World] and an unknown item that might not even suit her, Lin Sanjiu knew clearly where her priorities lay.

"You seem to trust me quite a bit," Advaita said. "Aren't you worried that I might turn against you after getting back my possession?"

"Of course, I'm worried. I don't trust you at all," Lin Sanjiu said, keeping her gaze on Advaita. Her [Higher Consciousness Scan] was locked onto Advaita, so she would instantly sense any sudden moves from her. "You have paper cranes with you, right? Give me one. I ran out."

Advaita looked a bit surprised but then understood. "You want to..."

"Exactly." Lin Sanjiu nodded, raising the hand that held the light point. "I'll attach this thing to the paper crane and let it fly off to find someone. It doesn't matter who because I believe it won't get far before you intercept it... The moment you chase after it, I'll turn around and leave, and we'll go our separate ways."

"You're quite quick-witted," Advaita remarked with a smile. "Sharper than you look. Too bad you don't have any paper cranes of your own."

Lin Sanjiu had at least ten paper cranes in her card inventory, all gifts from the grand prize; the real pity was that she no longer had her card inventory.

"Bad? Not really. You'll give me a paper crane," Lin Sanjiu responded with a smile. "Otherwise, I'll instantly absorb this light point into my body, and you can try catching me within four minutes."

Advaita slightly pursed her lips.

Compared to Lin Sanjiu, a paper crane was easier to deal with. Besides, she was incredibly fast and could easily seize the paper crane, get back the light point, and then turn her attention back to Lin Sanjiu. Putting herself in Advaita's shoes, Lin Sanjiu felt she would also agree with this plan. As expected, without much consideration, Advaita threw a paper crane towards her.

Before placing the light point inside the paper crane, Lin Sanjiu hesitated. "This isn't Silvan's voice, right?"

Advaita exhaled sharply through her nose. "If it was something so useless, do you think I would've agreed to your proposal and let you have your way? Moreover, the items dropped by the money tree are personal advantages. How does that thing count as my advantage?"

It made sense. Even if Advaita was as resilient as a Weeble toy, Lin Sanjiu couldn't extract Silvan's voice from her—unless she willingly gave it up. There seemed to be no immediate solution to this problem.
