Doomsday Wonderland

Chapter 263: The Mary Sue Chapter

Translator: Pluto Editor: Vermillion

Lin Sanjiu had never seen a team of posthumans whose appearance were so uniformly the same. She stretched her body into a thin long cord, trying to have a better look at them. She crept up the bookshelf like a crawling vine and slowly got closer to the west wing team that Silvan was confronting.

Even though Lin Sanjiu had almost regained her full human appearance, she still retained the special characteristics of her higher consciousness form. With a single thought, she could still float, fly and change her shape. In fact, this was how she boldly climbed up to the east wing. Many people had spotted her while she was heading upstairs, yet no one would even expect that the thing which resembled an electrical cord would actually be a person.

Not long after the “electrical cord” stealthily slithered up to the second floor of the east wing, the attacks from the west wing team stopped. The person who stopped the attacks was their leader, who had that terrible, grating voice. The leader, also the speaker, was a very short man with a very large head. No matter what angle Lin Sanjiu took, that man looked like a mushroom to her. This was even more comical because the four men, also wearing cloaks, looked almost the same as him. At first glance, they looked like a few large mushrooms which were about the same height.

However, despite how comical they looked, the viciousness from the leader’s voice wasn’t even a tad bit funny. He glared at the man who was sitting on top of a bookshelf and laughed quietly. Lin Sanjiu felt as if her ears hurt like she had been badly scraped by a piece of sandpaper when she heard his voice at such a close range.

“Youngster, are you planning to surrender?”

Silvan was still wearing his blue Munitions Factory uniform. He sat leisurely on top of a bookshelf with his long legs dangling. When he heard what the man said, he swayed his legs a little childishly. He flashed a grin at the people from the west wing, and his set of straight white teeth seemed to beam even in the dark. “So, it’s you guys! They were right, you guys are very recognizable.”

“Are they acquaintances?” Lin Sanjiu wondered.

However, she heard Silvan continuing idly, “I heard that you farmers from ‘Heaven Underworld’ had your territories occupied by other people, so why do you still have the mood to visit other worlds? Oh, is it to train new members? Or to collect stuff?”

Even though Silvan used a very amiable and friendly tone, he apparently managed to prod that leader’s sore spot.

The leader’s entire demeanor changed, with his fury spewing. After a few seconds, he suddenly let out a malicious laugh, “You must have quite a bit of experience if you know who we are. As expected of a member of the Munitions Factory. Sadly, I don’t think you can go back to Munitions Factory.

Lin Sanjiu tried her best to pretend that she was an electric cord. While she listened to their conversation, she was also searching and scanning for any traces or hints of that woman, Peach, through her higher consciousness. Her goal was indeed to get the first target book. Under normal circumstances, the book should be with Silvan at all times. However, considering that he was fighting the team from the west wing alone, he might have given the book to Peach, who would then hide.

However, Lin Sanjiu could not find any trace of that woman even after scanning the entire second floor. She considered her options and decided to take a wait-and-see approach. She wanted to see if she could perhaps find an upper hand while the two sides fought. Lin Sanjiu knew very well that Silvan would be a very troublesome opponent, so observing his battle with the west wing team would be a good opportunity to gather more information about him.

After she made her decision, she took a glance at the spot where they were fighting. Suddenly, she was stunned.

“Why did they stop fighting?”

They weren’t fighting. They weren’t even talking to each other. It was as if someone had pressed a “freeze frame” button. Both Silvan and the team leader were not moving. There was absolute silence. The leader’s mouth was even half-opened, as if he froze just as he was about to speak.

Lin Sanjiu looked at the outside world through her eyes, feeling confused, and back at the scanned image in her mind. When she looked at the two people once again, they had disappeared. Everything around her started spinning, like milk stirred into coffee. Lin Sanjiu felt dizzy. Suddenly, her vision was filled with bright, psychedelic colors. Where did that light come from anyway? The bookshelves became very looooooong. The ceiling became a piece of cloth and suddenly spiky things poked out from the people standing in it.

After staring at it for a few seconds, she fainted. She knew that something had gone wrong but she couldn’t think no matter how hard she tried. It was as if her brain had been placed in a freezer and just wouldn’t work.

“What’s wrong? Why did you revert back to your original form?”

Lin Sanjiu could hear Mrs. Mana’s voice, but she sounded very far away. Lin Sanjiu heard her, but she couldn’t make sense of what she was saying. She just started giggling without any rhyme or reason.

Lin Sanjiu had unconsciously reverted to “human form”. She slid down a bookshelf and floated slightly above the ground, feeling weak and powerless. Just then, Silvan’s mellow voice drifted into her ears.

“Your ‘magic mushrooms’ only work only on people the first time, right? That explains…”

“That explains what?” Lin Sanjiu couldn’t hear him anymore. It was as if someone had covered her ears with a thick wet cloth. She clenched her teeth, gathered a bit of strength and tried her best to hide behind a bookshelf. She drew out a book without thinking and held it in her hands as a preventive measure. She wanted to activate her [Defence Forcefield] but that thought came and went. After trying about two to three times, her body finally glowed slightly.

After a few successive waves of hallucination, she felt as if many years had passed, or was it only a split second? When Lin Sanjiu suddenly snapped out and became sober again, she realized that she was lying on top of a bookshelf. The fight between Silvan and the west wing team had already ended at some point in time.

The faint light from the windows downstairs had been almost fully blocked by a crouching figure, casting a long shadow. In the dim light, the man’s dark golden hair almost melted into the darkness behind him

Lin Sanjiu was so startled that she immediately leaped up. While she opened the book in her hands, she had also mentally prepared herself for a tough battle. Surprisingly, Silvan remained in his crouching position and only looked up at her when she stood up.

“You? Who are you?” This was the first time there was actually an uncertainty in his mellow voice. He sounded like he was murmuring as his voice wavered. He stared at Lin Sanjiu’s face with his dark green eyes, which were like the lakes in a forest.

“I’ve never seen you before? What’s your name?” he asked.

Lin Sanjiu stared at him blankly for a short moment before she immediately reacted by touching her face. Only then did she realize that her skin and hair on her upper body had all developed. Even though her leg was still reddish and skinless, they were hidden in the dark, but Silvan did not notice them at all.

“Look…” Mrs. Manas spoke to her softly. Lin Sanjiu looked up and noticed a stiff corner of a book sticking out from the back pocket of Silvan’s uniform trousers. It looked as if the book had been rolled up and stuffed there…

“I’ll tell you,” Lin Sanjiu said with her cool, crystal voice before even thinking, “if you come closer.”

After that, she bent down slightly. Her hair flowed down her shoulders like water.

Silvan’s eyes did not leave her face even for one second. When he heard what she said, he shifted closer to her without even hesitating. Lin Sanjiu smiled faintly and exhaled, as if preparing to say something…

The next second, she attacked the back of Silvan’s waist with a violent punch. She actually managed to strike her target.

As it was a sneak attack, Silvan only managed to divert a part of the impact as he dodged slightly but he received most of the impact from that punch. Lin Sanjiu didn’t think too much, she reached for his back pocket and quickly pulled the book out. Then, she immediately flipped over to the bookshelf beside them. She was eager to look at the cover of the book.
