Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 967 Enforcement of Oaths

After a moment of silence in the room, Octo sighed slowly.He was sitting by the bed, with his hands on his knees, and when he looked at Lin Sanjiu, he couldn't tell whether it was helplessness or sarcasm—or both.

Lin Sanjiu pressed his fangs against the floor without saying a word.

Under the pressure of silence, Octo finally spoke: "...Have you heard of the 'planting oath'?"

"No."

Octo was silent for a while, smiled wryly, and suddenly blurted out a sentence that seemed to be without thinking: "Why does the Creator always like to favor one over another?"

Lin Sanjiu raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"

He hesitated for a few seconds, shook his head, and changed the subject.

"No, it's nothing. You really haven't heard of the planting oath? It's a kind of ability that was discovered only recently... In the Twelve Realms, advertisements for hiring people with this ability have been flying all over the sky."

Lin Sanjiu finally understood why Octo refused to say a word when he was disguised as Stan.When he speaks naturally, his eyes flow and his voice is gentle, which is a bit softer than ordinary women; coupled with the voices and faces of Stan and his roommate, it is unavoidably strange and awkward.

Those suspender skirts probably belonged to Octo himself... It turns out that "he" is a woman.She almost forgot that transformation is not necessarily limited to people of the same gender.

"Go on. What is the relationship between this ability and the person who transformed you?"

"It is precisely because of the planting oath that I cannot disclose this person's information to you." Octo shrugged. For a period of time, you must never break your oath. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the bulletin board and ask about it.”

Lin Sanjiu faintly felt that these words were a bit familiar, and after thinking about them, she deliberately asked: "If you violate it, what will happen?"

Octo glanced at her with the end of his eye.Next, he spat out an answer that was almost exactly the same as 12: "It's not what will happen, but I 'can't' do it at all."

The words of 12 have been confirmed by another person at this moment; obviously they have all been given a "planting oath" - it seems that "X", who is unwilling to let others find Lu Ze or himself, actually spends He spent so much time hiding his whereabouts.Could it be that X himself is a [planting oath] ability user?
As if afraid she would not believe it, Octo raised his wrist and gently rolled up his sleeves.Between the two floating veins, there is a small seed pattern printed like a tattoo, which has just sprouted.

"Seventeen months," Octo touched it, and said lightly, "after seventeen months, it will completely open, wither, and disappear. Then you can ask me again, and I can tell you what it looks like , What’s my name? Otherwise, even if you kill me now, you won’t get a single word—although, I’m not willing to lose my life just to keep other people’s secrets.”

After seventeen months, the bodies of Bohemia and the puppeteer may have been cold... Hu Changzai probably won't die.

Unexpectedly, he encountered another setback—Lin Sanjiu was full of anxiety, and immediately replied: "I don't need you to tell me. I already knew his name and what he looked like. I just need to know where he is!"

"Ah, I really don't know that."

"how is this possible?"

"Every time it was that person... who came to call me on his own initiative. I don't know where he landed on the boat." There was a pause in the middle of this sentence, as if he didn't know how to word it.

Seeing that she stopped talking, Octo sighed and continued: "I changed into the appearance of a female member of the night tour and got on the boat just because I wanted to participate in the experiment and get rid of the doomsday reincarnation. It really has nothing to do with you. , and I don’t care about the person who deformed me at all... But it’s a headache for me to be involved in such troublesome things. If possible, I also hope that I can tell you everything you want to know and let you Let me go early."

"But when you reported me to Tan Zhang, you didn't hesitate at all." Lin Sanjiu sneered. "Besides, after you reported on me, you were afraid that I would come to trouble you, so you immediately asked Lu Ze—that is, the person who transformed you—to change you into the form of your roommate. You are not going to let yourself go ?"

Perhaps hearing the name Lu Ze, Octo's expression moved a little unnaturally.

"If you stand in my position and think about it, a person who suddenly became suspicious of me for no reason may ruin my plan... Is it natural for me to attack him first? It's just that I didn't expect Tan Zhang It's useless, and it looks like you don't even have a scratch."

"So, you are completely useless to me?" Lin Sanjiu rolled his gaze around his neck, and lowered his voice: "Then I can't find a reason to keep you alive. It will be my trouble."

"Honey, even with this, you may not be able to kill me."

Although Octo's complexion was a little pale, he raised his head stubbornly, straightened his back and folded his legs with a bit of self-confidence: "What's more, the person who deformed me didn't know that I had been exposed. .If I were you, I would leave my life alone... As long as you are smart in the future, you can always find that person from me."

Lin Sanjiu thought for a few seconds and asked, "How could the planting oath allow you to do this?"

"You misunderstood," Octo shook his head. "If I knew you were nearby, of course I couldn't deliberately meet that person in this situation, otherwise wouldn't it be you leading the way? But if your whereabouts are very Hiding, I don’t even know if you’re around or not, so it’s not considered a breach of oath. So, where you plan to hide, when you hide, what you pretend to be...don’t tell me.”

The man is as slippery as a greased fox.

Thinking about it now, even 12 was trying every means to reveal information to himself at that time... It seems that no matter how unimaginable external constraints it is, it is not as good as people's willingness to agree.

Lin Sanjiu's decision was made very quickly - partly because Octo was trapped in space like her, and could not go anywhere except the Yuehai; Ze only needs to meet once.

"You'd better not try to inform Tan Zhang," she warned, taking off the halo around Okto's neck: "He is not a threat to me, but I can find you at any time... After all, you still have to pay Now this identity continues to stay on board."

"If you don't report me with Tan Zhang, I naturally don't need to do anything extra." Octo stared at the aperture and slowly moved away from his neck, "So we...understand each other, right?"

Lin Sanjiu didn't trust him at all, so he didn't say a word.

Without news of Lu Ze, it means that Bohemia and the puppeteer will still be unable to be found for a while; but she has experienced too many setbacks and hardships in the past, and instead she has cultivated a persistent and tough heart, even Even setbacks can't dampen her fighting spirit.Sometimes she is like a maned dog who has found a target, and can track it tirelessly and endlessly-the puppeteer was annoyed by her once, and called her temperament "a chronic ulcer that never heals".

Sighing softly in her heart, when she passed Octo's roommate's bedside, an idea suddenly came to her mind.

"I happen to have nowhere to go," she patted the empty bed. "Is your roommate dead? You probably don't mind me staying here temporarily, do you? We're all women anyway."

Hearing the last sentence, Octo's eyes suddenly sparkled - he was like a girl who couldn't help but smile happily when she received a bouquet of flowers from her crush.He raised his toes and coughed twice: "He disappeared, but I didn't kill him, he probably died in the riots. But you can't stay here."

Lin Sanjiu lifted the pillow and looked at it, then asked casually, "Why?"

"Why are you so stupid! I've said it all. If you are here, then out of the binding force of the oath, I will definitely warn that person not to come." Octo waved his hand, "Besides, there are usually people in the room At that time, that person never came to call me."

"Oh,"

When Lin Sanjiu straightened up, she had already stuffed the diary card into the gap of the pillow case and pressed it under the pillow core.She can't watch around day and night, and this card comes in handy; as long as Lu Ze is close to this room, she will definitely know!

"I hope you can cooperate a little bit. Believe me, you definitely don't want to have an enemy like me."

After asking Octo for his key card, she gave a grim warning—but honestly, it was just her putting on a show.She wants the other party to think that her surveillance will come from outside the door; because she has some doubts in her heart, she needs to warn him.

This hint hidden between the lines was indeed accepted by Octo without any doubts.

He watched her walk out of the door, and when she was about to close the door, he sighed quietly: "...there are too many people I can't afford to offend recently."

When Lin Sanjiu raised his eyebrows, the door had slid shut again.

Octo's words kept echoing in her mind for some reason as she walked in the direction of the bulletin board.Lu Ze is not a person who will make people fear, even if he has special abilities; what Octo is alluding to should not be Lu Ze, but X?
But he said "that's too much"... who else but X?
The last time she pretended to be a jilted woman looking for a boyfriend, she posted an announcement with 12 detailed physical descriptions; this kind of content really inspired human nature-and now there are dozens of new replies.

But none of them are worthwhile.

Lin Sanjiu thought for a while, and added another one: "I can't forget him, but he always lies to me, and the promises will never be fulfilled. Does anyone know where I can find the ability user of [Planting Oath]? Seeing The cycle of reincarnation is about to break, I want him to abide by his oath and live a good life with me..."

This time, before she closed the message stream, a new reply suddenly popped up.

"I am."
