Doomsday Wonderland

Chapter 270: Time For The Decisive Fight

Translator: Pluto Editor: Vermillion

“To be honest, the way you people behave is a little irritating.”

After lifting the cover of the toilet bowl in front of her, Lin Sanjiu saw a pool of dirty-looking water. It looked gross, and there was also suspicious-looking dark yellow streaks on the toilet seat. This wasn’t the best scenery, but a duoluozhong had already been kneeling in front of this toilet for some unknown length of time.

“Let’s just set aside the issue of whether you guys are even scary, you are just acting like idiots.”

As a clear icy female voice rang out. Lin Sanjiu placed her bare foot on a head wrapped in black hair. Soon after, the head was brutally forced into the toilet bowl with a thud. As the water in the toilet bowl splashed out, Lin Sanjiu quickly withdrew her feet.

She placed her hands into her pants pocket as she floated behind a long-haired spirit duoluozhong which was wearing a pair of red high heels. Lin Sanjiu was expressionless.

“Hey! Did I say you could lift your head up?” Lin Sanjiu was now acting like a bona fide female delinquent. Her voice was filled with an obnoxious hostility, “Stuff your ugly face back in there!”

As the spirit’s head was fully wrapped, Lin Sanjiu couldn’t tell where its face was, or whether it was really ugly. When the spirit heard Lin Sanjiu’s words, it made something like a soft whimper. Before Lin Sanjiu could kick it again, it dumped its entire head into the toilet bowl filled with filthy water.

“Now, it looks much better,” Lin Sanjiu praised, but her voice was brimming with anger and aggression. It was obvious that she was running out of patience. “Now, answer me. Where is the girl who came in with me?”

The spirit, who was commonly described in urban legends as a woman who wears a mouth mask and red high heels, had her face in the toilet bowl, so she had no choice but to brush aside her hair at the back of her head. A mouth full of sharp teeth was revealed. It opened and closed with threads of saliva, “She has been pulled into the wall by a wall spirit…”

“See, what did I say?” Lin Sanjiu could feel the veins on her forehead throbbing, even though she sounded calmer, “You never give proper answers. You guys are really very annoying.”

“No. No. I haven’t finished. I mean, usually, when a person is pulled into a wall by a wall spirit, they would be trapped and would then suffocate in the wall…” the mouth which looked disgusting from all angles spoke, “But, you don’t have to worry. The wall spirit should have transported her to the south wing.”

“Why?”

“So, we can get your books…”

Hearing Lin Sanjiu’s calmer voice, the spirit slowly lifted her head a little. If it could just catch the right opportunity with Lin Sanjiu’s guard down, her mouth could get a little closer to that woman, and this would definitely change the current circumstances. “We don’t have that many lives. Our leader thinks that you guys must be related, so you won’t just leave the girl to her own devices. That’s why… that’s why we planned to use her to exchange for your books.”

Lin Sanjiu inferred that their leader was the woman who drags her words. Their leader’s guess about them being “related” was far from the truth.

“What sort of spirit is your… leader?”

“I really don’t know! I have never seen her face. She always wears a hooded cape and a Changpao (traditional Chinese male clothes). And, we haven’t seen her fight…” the spirit reacted hastily, probably because it was very afraid that Lin Sanjiu might have a misunderstanding. “Her face is totally covered…”

Lin Sanjiu frowned her brows as she ruminated. While she considered something, she peeked out of the cubicle, as if to confirm that no one was heading this way. At that very moment, she heard a gust of wind behind her back, directed at her neck.

The next second, the spirit which tried to hit Lin Sanjiu with a sneak attack froze in mid-air.

“Have I forgotten to tell you something?” Lin Sanjiu remarked coldly as she raised one of her brows. She had grabbed the spirit by its neck, stopping it while the spirit tried to attack her by rushing toward her in reverse. Lin Sanjiu could only see the back of the spirit’s head and its spine. She watched as the spirit struggled non-stop, seemingly unable to understand the situation it was in.

“Actually, I am not technically alive.”

“Look, I am floating now… When I kicked you, I didn’t use any Special Item. I just used my bare foot.”

Lin Sanjiu was an existence that lay right on the boundary between that of the living and the spirits.

After giving that curt pop-science explanation, Lin Sanjiu tightened her grip. The spirit was crushed like a soda crack. The crumbs of its essence disappeared in the air slowly. After the spirit was eradicated, the washroom was silent. It was as if nothing of that sort had ever existed. Lin Sanjiu’s worried expression suddenly melted away from her face. She cocked her head, thought for a moment and even smiled.

She walked in front of a basin, lifted her shirt and looked at the back of her waist in the mirror. The number had already turned to “43”.

“I hope Silvan and Reno are being as successful…”

After Lin Sanjiu converted the book into a card, she mumbled to herself as she walked out of the washroom. The moment she stepped out of the door, Siri’s voice sounded clearly over the speaker, “Progress report: the fifth book has been found.”

“Did Silvan and Reno find that book? Or did the people from the south wing get their hands on it?”

Lin Sanjiu became anxious. Giving up on hiding her presence, she sped to the central hall using her maximum speed.

As she heard the sound of the wind whizzing past her, she also heard every single word from Siri’s announcement.

“As of now, all five books have been found. Would the team that had gathered all five books come to my work desk for verification. Before verification, your lives will be deducted at the same rate with each passing day.

Once Lin Sanjiu reached the central hall, she immediately found a hiding spot. Following that, she spotted two people running down from the west wing through her higher consciousness scanning. They were Silvan and Reno.

“Who found the fifth book? Did the west wing agree with our plan?” Lin Sanjiu asked without missing a beat.

“They agreed, with the condition that they would have all the lives from the members of the south wing,” Silvan replied and waved the book in his hand. He laughed suddenly without any obvious reason. Before Lin Sanjiu could question him, he looked around Lin Sanjiu. Both Silvan and Reno realized that Rena was missing. With some nervousness, Reno asked promptly, “Rena?”

Lin Sanjiu nodded her head. Reno exhaled and didn’t say another word.

Luckily, things were working out according to their plan. With Silvan’s “How to Render”, they already collected four target books. Lin Sanjiu took the book and gazed for a few seconds at the long English title of the book. Suddenly, they heard the woman from the south wing speaking:

“Amazing,” she said slowly in a composed voice. “You got all the books in such a short time.”

Lin Sanjiu’s group did not say anything. A few figures dropped from the second floor of the west wing and landed not far from them.

“This is the current situation. We need the books and you need your member back.

“You should have thought about that… Let’s make a deal.”

The woman from the south wing laughed softly.

Lin Sanjiu held her breath and exchanged a quick glance with Silvan reflexively.

The decisive fight in the library would begin now.
