Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 968 The tango in the dark
do not move.

Don't look up.

Do not reply to messages.

Lin Sanjiu stared fixedly at the information in front of him, the muscles in his back tensed subconsciously.Just before she was about to click on that reply to read it carefully, she suddenly realized the true meaning of this reply—for a moment, it was as if even her bones were immersed in the winter river water floating with crushed ice. When he came to his senses while awake, all movements stopped.

She stood motionless in the entanglement of light blue light, opened [Pure Touch], and at the same time tried to feel every trace of flow in the surrounding environment with peripheral vision, skin and intuition.

...There is only one place on this ship, the bulletin board, where you can post and reply to messages.

Her message was answered immediately, which meant that there was only one possibility: this person who claimed to be a [planting oath] capable person was also standing on the "bulletin board" at this very moment.

Is it X?
Excited, her fingertips trembled slightly, and she immediately clenched them tightly and crossed her arms.

If she reacted to that reply at this moment, or looked up to look for it, it would undoubtedly be tantamount to exposing herself to that person's eyes.Before you know who the other person is, you can't let the other person know who she is——

Lin Sanjiu frowned tightly at a certain stream of information, pretending to be lost in thought.

She now looks like a middle-aged man, and the other party probably won't suspect her for a while.As long as she didn't move, that person couldn't be sure who made the missing person announcement for a moment.But this is only a temporary solution... If the announcement has not been answered, then the people who have not moved in the field will become suspicious targets.

Yes, when she thought of this, her nerves jumped suddenly—a touched intuition murmured in the back of her mind.

That's right, she could feel that someone's gaze was darting across the room round and round, concealed and swift, passing by in a flash; like a flashlight flashing across the dark mountains, or a momentary illusion in the corner of the field of vision.

Yes, the other party is looking for her.

It is impossible for there to be exactly two rare [planting oath] ability users on a mere sea crossing; the other party must be X, or someone related to X.

To be related to X is to be related to 12.So, the respondent already knew that the announcement she made was a complete lie; it didn't take much reasoning to realize that her real goal was to find 12.

Based on 12's experience before boarding the boat, besides Lin Sanjiu, who else would look for him at this time?
While meditating, she released a trickle of consciousness, and lightly "clicked" on the light blue announcement message in front of her.

According to this line of thinking, X must know that Lin Sanjiu is on the boat, and probably also knows how she got on the boat.But why didn't he show up and shoot directly at himself?Although it is not X’s style of doing things to be straightforward—his actions and plans are like a mountain road with many twists and turns, making it difficult for people to figure out his real goal.

This time, is it possible that when X found her on the boat, Lin Sanjiu just hid his whereabouts because he wanted to avoid Tan Zhang, so he couldn't find her?
If this is the case... then if she is X, there is probably no better way than monitoring the bulletin board.

Ever since Lin Sanjiu boarded the Yue Hai, he had fallen into the darkness of ignorance, and he didn't even know whether the target was really in this darkness.In order to spy on her opponent's position, she sent out a message—like taking a tentative step forward in the dark.

The other party immediately grasped the clue and took a step closer to her.

...like a pas de deux in the dark holding sharp knives and gradually approaching each other.

Lin Sanjiu's subtle control of consciousness is not too flexible, but she still used it to respond with "Really?" - Of course, during the process of posting the reply, her arms were always tightly hugged to her chest .

As soon as the message was sent successfully, she immediately raised her eyes and swept it lightly.

In the eyes of others, the unmoved self should have nothing to do with the message just released, right?
The person who was looking for her secretly should focus on the evolutionary who moved his hands just now; perhaps it was the effect of [No coincidence], when she posted the reply, four people nearby happened to have moved her information flow in front of you.

The other party will surely find the target among the people who have made moves; and when he is looking, Lin Sanjiu will have a chance to find out who he is—because the boat is not peaceful, there are a lot fewer people on the bulletin board today than usual,
She pretended to reach out to grab other information, and looked around from the corner of the corner of her eye, but she didn't see anyone looking around - only a man pushed away the light blue information stream beside him, and strode away from the exit up.

She hesitated for a few seconds, thinking that he should have nothing to do with this matter.

Is it in the other direction?

Lin Sanjiu waited for a while, then turned his head naturally and took a quick glance.If someone is also looking at the Evolver, then he must be doing it more secretly than her; because she still hasn't seen any clues——

wait -

how come?
Her eyes paused, and she almost showed her feet because of surprise.She immediately reacted and turned her head back in a hurry; but she was definitely not mistaken, there was a person she was very familiar with standing in a light blue light group on her left.

This man had had a long conversation with her in Octo's room not so long ago.

The rectangular face that belonged to Octo's roommate was staring blankly at the light blue messages that quickly passed in front of him.He didn't send a message or reply, just stood with his hands drooping, as if he had been watching for a long time.

This person can't be Octo, he can't do it in terms of time; so, it turns out that the rectangular-faced roommate is not dead?
Now Octo was in trouble.

Thinking of this, Lin Sanjiu suddenly looked at the pale blue light in front of him.

That person never replied to her again, and the "Really?" she sent hung alone at the end of the reply chain, as if it had been forgotten.

She took another step in the dark, and her opponent backed away.

She frowned slowly.

...Is it the one who just left?
Or, did X just want to see who would chase that person away?

The more she thought about it, the more disturbed she felt, as if anything was possible; just as she was hesitating, she saw the rectangular face stepping out of a bluish ball of light, and quickly disappeared from the exit where the last man left.

Almost in a flash, Lin Sanjiu had already decided to follow: as soon as Octo met him, he would have to go to Lu Ze to re-transform, this is a good opportunity to hit the bottom line!
She had a certain thought, but she didn't expect that when she walked out of the light ball, she heard another door open behind her; she subconsciously turned her head and saw Luyan standing at the door—the little girl seemed nervous and a little excited Seemingly, the little face turned pale, and he rushed into the room and shouted: "Which organization do you all belong to? No matter, come with me first and talk about it first. I am a nocturnal wanderer, and we urgently need manpower now!"

"what happened?"

Surprised by her, several evolutionaries walked out of the light group one after another, asking questions one after another.

Why was he blocked again at this time!

Naturally, Lin Sanjiu didn't go up—she stood there for a few seconds, and saw that other evolutionaries had gathered up, and stepped back silently to the door.Fortunately, everyone's attention was attracted, and she didn't pay attention to her. She slipped through the crack of the door smoothly and retreated into the corridor.

As soon as the door closed, she immediately sped up her speed and chased after the smaller and smaller figure in the distance.
