Even if she had millions of abilities, it was already too late. As soon as the words were spoken, Lin Sanjiu felt the woman had pressed a metal object into her artery. The cold sensation seeped into her skin.
As soon as a pang of pain spread out, the [Defense Forcefield] was enacted around her neck, barely blocking the advancement of the sharp point of the ironware. She was low on fuel, thus protecting her throat was all she could do now.
“Oh my gosh, it’s such a blessing that the G.o.dd.a.m.n thing is edgeless. That’s why she couldn’t penetrate your skin on her first attempt,” Mrs. Manas said, panic in her voice, “… Let’s pray that she won’t stab other spots. Your Higher Consciousness at this moment is not powerful enough to cover your entire body.”
It was already too late to stop Mrs. Manas from talking.
The woman realized a force was pus.h.i.+ng against her weapon. One of her eyebrows raised in suspicion as she voiced out her doubt in a single syllable, “Oh?” Then, she inclined her ears and listened before letting out a sigh, “… So you have this kind of protective barrier around you.”
With her mind-reading ability, it was a piece of cake for her to know everything that was happening in Lin Sanjiu’s mind. She pulled her weapon away and pressed it hard on her temple.
“Wait!”
“We’re running out of time! They are about to come here,” the woman heard her voice, but she remained impa.s.sive, refused to listen to Lin Sanjiu’s plead. Slowly, she raised her hand.
After the horde of
duoluozhong
had enough chit-chatting, they seemed to have lost interest in their new comrade as all of them began to turn to their direction, with the warden being the lead.
Even though the
duoluozhong
could stop the woman from killing her, she would end up pretty bad as well if she fell into their hands.
Desperate, Lin Sanjiu worked as hard as she could to make her brain blank, focusing her mind solely on one thought. Perhaps her attempt had succeeded, or her feeling was merely too strong, the moment when the woman thrust her weapon at her temple, she stopped just a millimeter above from her skin.
“Transfer?” The woman sneered. This time, her voice was filled with fury and disdain, “Oh, maybe I did not express myself clearly—As long as we’re handed over to Deva, we will be bound to live the rest of our life as pregnant women! Forever! Even if these G.o.dd.a.m.n monsters don’t baptize us before the transfer, the loop will keep on going until we’re dead!”
She was so angry that her voice cracked, sending her high-pitched sound through the air and wafted into the ears of the
duoluozhong
ahead. A hollow-faced
duoluozhong,
with tapeworm crawling over its head, turned over to them, shouting, “What are you doing?”
Even though the woman remained silent, Lin Sanjiu could sense her overwhelming determination as the woman darted at her.
“She wants to kill them!” A few
duoluozhong
followed suit and screamed and charged at them.
The ground shook, and Lin Sanjiu’s heart almost stopped jumping for a second. Mrs. Manas snarled, “… I couldn’t hold her much longer! What should we do next?”
Before Lin Sanjiu could react, the woman beside her yelled. The pregnant woman who had been rooted in place without doing anything was frightened by the horde of
duoluozhong
that rushed at them. As she yelled mindlessly, she tried to get up from the ground to run. Unlike the woman behind Lin Sanjiu, there wasn’t any chain in between her ankles. Instead, she had gotten her ankle hacked as bones were sticking out from her flesh. She struggled for a moment, only to fall in the next second on the ground next to both of them due to her overlarge belly.
Lin Sanjiu felt the woman had lifted the weapon away from her temple as the woman cursed something under her breath. She turned around, crawling away. Immediately, the crowd of
duoluozhong
not far from them burst into a fit of rage as they yelled aloud. Then, Lin Sanjiu felt something warm splashed on her face.
The blood that jutted in every direction drenched her face wet, trickling down her nose and her chin.
The woman convulsed and thrashed on the ground like a beached fish, drumming her limbs on the ground in her death throes. Her feet fell in front of Lin Sanjiu, separating her from the woman.
“She’s killing people!”
The
duoluozhong
running at the front that looked like a sea-anemone shouted before picking up its speed. It looked as if all the tendrils on its body had opened up and was going to devour them whole. Lin Sanjiu could sense the fear in the woman next to her. She quickly called out to her through her thought.
“What do you want? I have no time for you now!”
The woman forced herself to be calm after she shouted back at Lin Sanjiu. Taking the advantage before the
duoluozhong
arrived, she spun around, charging at another pregnant woman that was closest to her. Perhaps her weapon had become blunt, the noise of her weapon piercing through human skin rang out in succession, and the cries of pain of the pregnant woman was getting louder.
Seeing that the swarm of beasts was gaining fast on them, a thought flashed across Lin Sanjiu’s mind. She called out to the woman again through her mind, and she hoped that the woman would hear her.
The good thing was, the idea that she needed the umpteenth time to convey clearly to the woman could be done in a wink when they were communicating through their mind. The sound of the weapon stabbing into flesh suddenly stopped. Dragging her oversized belly, the woman once again crawled towards Lin Sanjiu.
“Is that real? The thing that you said?”
“Of course it is real! You can read my mind, don’t you?”
The veins bulged on Lin Sanjiu’s forehead.
“Okay,” the woman replied quickly. After all, that was the only response she could give right now since their time was drawing short. She climbed over Lin Sanjiu and Ji Shanqing body. At this moment, the
duoluozhong
were already within their reach. They could even smell the fishy stink that emanated from their bodies.
Since they were caught and thrown here together, Lin Sanjiu was pretty near to her grand prize. Hence the woman was able to cover both of them under her body. As the two of them grimaced at the weight of the woman, the warden strode toward them. Rebuking something under its breath, it extended its arm to pull the woman away.
“Stay away from me!”
The woman shouted her loudest shout as she struggled with all her might. She kicked with her legs twice, and Lin Sanjiu couldn’t bear the thought of how much pain she had to endure to make such maneuver. It was just when Lin Sanjiu felt the thing in her palm was s.n.a.t.c.hed away by somebody, she felt relieved, but she did not allow the feeling to set in as she soon regained her vigilance.
“Hold her down!”
The woman knew very well she couldn’t stop the
duoluozhong
alone as she was utterly outgunned. She pushed some idols around her to the ground or threw some small ones at the
duoluozhong
. However, the
duoluozhong
were unfazed by such countermeasure. They dodged the rain of idols effortlessly, and when they saw their chance, they darted in, grabbed at the chain in between the ankles of the woman and dragged her out.
The woman let out a loud, mindless scream of pain. A
duoluozhong
then hit her under the belt, cutting off and dissolving her remaining shout back into her stomach.
“I’m gonna baptize you immediately after this child is born,” the warden hissed angrily. It swung its dead-branches like arms in the air and continued, “We can’t keep these women anymore. Bring the two newcomers to me. I’ll baptize them right away!”
After that, it turned its head around to see that the spot where Lin Sanjiu and Ji Shanqing had been lying was empty.
Lin Sanjiu did not dare even to breathe. Lying under the [Elementary Grade Ambient Color] that was imitated using the [Battle Item] together with the grand prize, she hoped that the
duoluozhong
wouldn’t lift the idols from the ground immediately.
This was because, under the effect of [Elementary Grade Ambient Color], both of them now looked like two Deva’s statues.
