Chapter 1017: Some Help, Some Hindrance

"Why did you call Silas? What the f.u.c.k, did you call Silas?"

Lin Sanjiu's previous urgency had now turned into blazing anger. As soon as the two of them left the control room, they could hear the footsteps of the pursuers catching up from behind. When Lin Sanjiu held Bohemia in her arms, the latter's feet couldn't touch the ground and could only struggle and kick within her grasp, as if she was even angrier than Lin Sanjiu herself. "Do you have a conscience? Does Silas have legs? If I ever help you a little bit again"

Even when being chased by several people, even while being held in someone's arms, Bohemia still managed to extend one small finger, representing "a little bit" "I'll give you my head!"

Lin Sanjiu couldn't get angry at her.

"Lyanna is not a companion," Lin Sanjiu said half a sentence, and she felt that the footsteps behind them seemed to be getting closer. She quickly turned her head to take a glance. The closest personality chasing after them, the one with an initially ordinary face, was the unfamiliar man. Whether it was the wind caused by his rapid running or the excitement of chasing prey, his face was slightly crooked, his mouth half open, and it was unclear whether he was laughing or excited. Only his eyes shone like a wolf's.

This person seemed to have a high combat power.

"What?" Bohemia shouted.

"She's an enemy, did you hear that? I'll let you down in a moment, but don't foolishly run back to ask her what's going on!"

Bohemia stammered, "B-b-but she... I trust her..."

"Trust my a.s.s! All those behind us are personalities summoned by her!"

To break the illusion of companions.h.i.+p, it seemed that they needed to notice Lyanna's behavior not in line with the logic of companions. The hostility of the personalities was also evident. Bohemia finally closed her mouth, half believing and half doubting.

"But it's not necessarily a bad thing that you're here," Lin Sanjiu controlled her breathing and increased her speed. "Perhaps I can take this opportunity to deal with those personalities one by one..."

Lin Sanjiu was extremely fast and more familiar with Exodus than the personalities. She ran for half a minute, taking several turns, going up and down, and leaving the personalities far behind, out of sight. Lyanna wouldn't allow her to leave her sight, after all, this was her s.p.a.cecraft, and the little girl wouldn't take any risks, in case Lin Sanjiu did something to the s.h.i.+p. As expected, a few seconds later, the intercom system was activated.

"Chase them separately," Lyanna sounded both angry and excited. "As soon as you catch up, let me know your location... This is so much fun!"

Lin Sanjiu stopped and placed Bohemia back on the ground. She breathed lightly and listened as the intercom sounded again, saying, "If things get bad, return to the main base and don't let anyone die alone. We will stay in the control room. Do you all know what you should do? Go!"

Bohemia finally broke free from the illusion of companions.h.i.+p.

She seemed like she had just woken up from a deep sleep, with a bewildered expression. "It's strange, I originally disliked how you treated her like a dog. When did I start to..."

"It doesn't matter," Lin Sanjiu interrupted her and briefly explained what had happened in the control room. "...If those personalities realize that something is wrong and return to Luther's body, then I really can't do anything to them. After all, even the binding props can't restrain them. I want to kill Lyanna, but I can't let her destroy the control room, so there's only one way."

"What way?"

"Wake up Puppeteer."

Judging from Bohemia's expression, it seemed she was about to say "he's useless now" but she held it backit was truly befitting of someone who grew up in the Twelve Worlds.

"And then?" she asked skeptically.

Indeed, even if Lin Sanjiu managed to awaken Puppeteer by overcoming the side effects of the [Energizing Bulletproof Coffee], Puppeteer might not be more useful than the chair she had thrown.

But Lin Sanjiu didn't expect him to single-handedly kill everyone for her.

"As long as he opens his eyes, I have a way to kill Lyanna."

Bohemia clearly didn't fully believe Lin Sanjiu's words, especially when she found out that the two of them couldn't even enter the medical room.

"Are you stupid? Why can't you enter even yourself?" She spun around in frustration.

The entrance to the medical room was a s.p.a.cious connecting hall, connected to several corridors, and the lights seemed brighter and whiter than elsewhere. In other words, if they were being pursued, this was a place where they couldn't even hide. Not to mention that Lyanna knew Lin Sanjiu was worried about Puppeteer and would definitely come to the medical room to check on him. Although the personalities were unfamiliar with the interior of Exodus, their appearance was only a matter of time.

"Lyanna has mastered the ability to transform, and Silas can't distinguish her," Lin Sanjiu lowered her voice and asked Silas, "How much time is left until the lock is released?"

"One hour and fifty-two minutes."

Lin Sanjiu didn't want to play hide and seek with Lyanna for two hours. In case Bohemia accidentally fell into the hands of the personalities, it would put her at a disadvantage. After all, if she were in Lyanna's shoes, she would also target Bohemia. "While they haven't found us yet, let's destroy the door together."

Bohemia looked at her with wide eyes.

"What are you standing there for?" Lin Sanjiu whispered, and her metallic gauntlet opened again and enveloped her right hand. With all her strength, she threw a heavy punch at the medical room door. In the midst of the sparks from the metal impact, a voice interrupted, "Wait!" However, at that moment, a sharp pain, resembling the sound of bones breaking, quickly spread through her hand, making her vision almost black out. As she glanced at the door, there wasn't even a trace of scratching.

"That...," Bohemia looked at the door and then at her hand, struggling to find the words, "Didn't Silvan tell you?"

Lin Sanjiu held her hand, feeling the pain. She took a deep breath before finally speaking, "You mean, this door was reinforced according to Puppeteer's strength level?"

Bohemia nodded.

That was a problem.

Lin Sanjiu rested her forehead against the cold metal door, feeling the urge to sigh deeply. This plan wouldn't work, so she had to hide Bohemia first and continue to deal with the personalities...

"Do you want to go inside?"

Suddenly, without any warning, a hoa.r.s.e and soft voice sounded from behind them. Bohemia was startled, quickly turned around, and when her gaze fell upon the person, she seemed to be choked, unable to say a complete word, her face turning red, "You... you... um..."

Bliss's stunning azure eyes, like a melting summer sky, gently fell on her, then turned to Lin Sanjiu. A bitter smile appeared on her rosy lips, and her voice seemed to be shrouded in smoke, "Don't look at me like that."
