Doomsday Wonderland

Chapter 221: 221

Translator: Pluto Editor: Vermillion

There exist a type of person that would become more cool-headed the direr the situation they were in.

When Lin Sanjiu’s gaze fell on the blond man in front of her, she felt as if someone had doused her head with a bucket of ice water. Before she could feel any panic or fear, her mind rapidly grew calmer. As she scanned the area around her, Lin Sanjiu quickly understood the situation she was in.

She was flying out of the 26th floor when she was suddenly trapped in a cylindrical item on the floor in less than a second. By the looks of it, she had been ‘sucked’ into that item.

“Is it some sort of powerful Special Item?” Mrs. Manas suddenly mumbled. After hearing her words, Lin Sanjiu felt herself feeling less worried. Her original skull form was forced into a long cylindrical shape. The only features which remained were Lin Sanjiu’s two eyes sockets. She was ‘staring’ out from the transparent glass cylinder. Lin Sanjiu did not try to throw herself against the glass wall. She didn’t even struggle. She just floated in the cylinder observing her outside world silently.

“Huh? Why are you so quiet?” The blond man lifted a brow. “You were zooming around, trying to escape us just moments ago… Are you smart or stupid?” He spoke in a rather intimate tone, almost as if he was putting himself in her shoes. One could almost mistake him as an old friend of Lin Sanjiu’s. Lin Sanjiu ignored him.

The blond man was the only person nearby. Lin Sanjiu didn’t know where the other members of his team were. The small black tower which launched the arrow into the air was now sitting quietly on the floor. The building’s lobby was not far from them.

“Did the other members enter the building? ” That thought surfaced in Lin Sanjiu’s mind involuntarily. “If that was the case, it would be great! This would create a good opportunity for me to escape!”

Unfortunately, her higher consciousness scanning did not allow for her to see through walls. Looking through the ‘glass’ of the cylinder she was in, she could see what was outside the container. However, she could not see if there was anyone in the lobby, so she couldn’t confirm anything.

Lin Sanjiu considered her situation. The blond man caught her but he didn’t attempt to make any signals and he didn’t even inform his teammates… After thinking for a few seconds, Lin Sanjiu wrote a question while the man kept his gaze on her, “Did they enter that building?”

“You a rare duoluozhong…” the blond man praised softly, but he didn’t answer her question. “You made that ‘Gangrene Chaser’ chase after you for such a long time and even led it into a trap. I think you must be very powerful, right?”

His accent sounded very weird. Even though his voice was mellow and rich, it just sounded weird. It was as if he was using another language to speak Mandarin. Lin Sanjiu didn’t think too much about it. In fact, facing such an attitude, Lin Sanjiu only allowed herself to feel fretful for a few minutes. Following which, she realized that if she read between the lines, she already had her answer: his teammates had entered the building. If she had made a wrong guess, that man wouldn’t praise her.

“Did they entered the building to retrieve that arrow? Can that demonic spirit swallow three people at once? Why didn’t this blond man follow them into the building?” The memory of the incident that happened at the entrance of the train station gradually surfaced in Lin Sanjiu’s mind. She deliberated over her words and wrote, “Your team’s mission is to get duoluozhongs…”

Lin Sanjiu couldn’t think of another answer to their actions. This was the first time she met these people, they didn’t have any bad blood between them and she even avoided crossing their path by moving away discreetly. However, the team chased after her so fervently once they saw her. On top of that, this item that the man was using merely served to trap her. Since they didn’t kill her immediately, Lin Sanjiu could somehow guess their objectives.

“Are you all trying to catch powerful duoluozhongs?”

“Huh?” the blond man suddenly pushed up his eyewear, revealing a pair of long narrow eyes. Lin Sanjiu had seen quite a few handsome men during her journey, like Hei Zeji, Li Zhijun and Gong Daoyi from the previous world. Their handsome looks were all hard to come by. But this was the first time seeing a man with such stunning features. It was almost heart-gripping. Under the faint light of the night sky, his dark green eyes looked as deep as a pool in a forest. Under the sunlight, his pair of eyes would probably look like clear, flawless jade.

But the man’s expression wasn’t as easy to read. “How did you deduce that?” He raised a brow and asked with some interest.

Lin Sanjiu didn’t want to waste time chatting with him. “You caught the wrong person. I am not a duoluozhong. Much less a powerful one…” Noticing that the man’s expression didn’t change, Lin Sanjiu figured that he didn’t believe her. She added, “But, I know where you can find something like that.”

The blond man grinned. It was almost as if his face could shine. He sat down on the ground lazily, acting like he was uninterested in what she had to say. However, Lin Sanjiu already noticed the glint that flashed in his eyes.

“You just want me to let you go, right?” He looked down as he rubbed the faint stubble on his chin. “That’s impossible. Don’t even waste your time trying.”

“Bullsh*t. How would I know if I didn’t try?” Lin Sanjiu scolded him silently in her mind. Unaffected, she continued writing, “If you want, I can tell you where you can find a powerful duoluozhong… And, your teammates won’t even hear a hint of it.”

After she finished her sentenced, she examined the man’s expression a little anxiously. Lin Sanjiu had placed all her bets on the possibility tgat the man had a somewhat bad working relationship with his team.

As expected, the man narrowed his eyes again. His thick lashes created two smooth arcs. He hesitated and said mildly, “Oh?”

“That my chance! ” Lin Sanjiu thought to herself. Lin Sanjiu’s heart raced. Even though she didn’t know why they were trying to catch duoluozhongs and why this man wanted to keep those duoluozhongs for himself, she knew that as long as he was tempted by her offer, she had a chance to escape.

“In exchange, when you catch that powerful duoluozhong, I hope you let me go.”

The blond man read her words and looked at her eye sockets. His dark green eyes had a sort of magnetism. “Aren’t you afraid that I will go back on my words?”

“It isn’t as if I have a choice,” Lin Sanjiu wrote quietly. “I don’t have right to make any bargains right now. This is the best I can do. I will leave to rest to fate.”

“I like your attitude.” The blond man’s smile suddenly grew wide. Almost in a childish manner, he reached for the container and shook it lightly twice, as if he was shaking her hands. “I accept your deal. I am Silvan.”
