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

1455: In Reality, Everyone is Rather Unlucky

When Lin Sanjiu later reflected on the events, even she, who had experienced it firsthand, found it astonishing that so many changes and details occurred within just sixty seconds. No matter who it was, their awareness spread out like a spider's web, constantly sensing and reacting to even the slightest vibrations. Sometimes, they even managed to respond to multiple incidents simultaneously.

For example, after Lin Sanjiu had fallen, she quickly got up while asking questions and maintaining a defensive posture. At the same time, her attention was drawn to the light point beneath the car to her left, and she noticed a peculiar movement in Advaita's eyes.

This movement was strikingly unusual. Something inside her pupil turned while the pupil itself stayed still. It was as if there were layers of eyes within her eye, each capable of independent movement.

This raised a chilling question for Lin Sanjiu: how much of Advaita was still human? The hairs on her back stood on end.

Despite the enigma of Advaita's eyes, Lin Sanjiu realized that the eye within the eye was searching for the spot where she had fallen. This suggested that Advaita was also considering the possibility that Lin Sanjiu might have dropped something when she fell.

Had Advaita seen her drop something from the bubble space?

Advaita's eye within the eye returned to its normal position, appearing like a regular human eyeball once again, with no additional layers of pupils. She had not found the light point Lin Sanjiu was supposed to have dropped. Raising an eyebrow, Lin Sanjiu quickly said, "Sorry to disappoint you, but I can't follow in your footsteps and drop things."

"Then let me knock it out of you," Advaita replied coldly.

The car was more than ten steps away, with another dusty red car in between. Under normal circumstances, it would take time to find the right angle to squat down, reach under the rear wheel, and search—all while drawing attention. Lin Sanjiu's control over the Higher Consciousness wasn't precise enough to retrieve something as small as that light point; she had to pick it up herself. In the time it would take her to squat and reach out, Advaita would have numerous opportunities to strip her of her assets.

"I can retrieve it," Lin Sanjiu said, holding up a paper crane in one hand and raising the other as if to surrender. "Hitting me won't make anything fall out, but I could bump into that car and—"

"Then hurry up!" Advaita urged.

The Life Coach hurriedly moved a few steps as well. These humanoid Special Items remained quite loyal to their owner until they were transferred to someone else. Thus, they tried their best to stay close to Lin Sanjiu.

Lin Sanjiu stopped next to the dusty red car, the closest one to her. If she bypassed it for a further one, Advaita would surely become suspicious. From here, she had to continue figuring out a way to proceed.

She raised her arm, pretending to strike the red car, while her mind raced so fast it felt like it might overheat.

[Planar World] was just a few steps to her left, but it felt like a mountain was in between them. Why did she have to fall there, of all places — huh?

Oddly, the light point that fell from her should have landed nearby. So, why did it travel at a 50-degree angle to her left, covering such a distance and even crossing over a car?

When she yanked the Southwind Goose out of the hole, it vanished ahead while she fell. The gravitational pull should have pinned the light point close to her. Since it wasn't nearby, it meant some force had propelled it outward. The light point ended up several steps away, right next to a car's rear tire.
