Doomsday Wonderland Vol. 9: Esculent Alethia [Complete]

1107: Take a Look Behind You

Lin Sanjiu had no idea how to deal with that snow-white star. She already had little understanding of corresponding conditions, and her adversary was far more experienced. However, that didn't mean she was entirely helpless in her current situation.

It could be said that she had no way, but she did have a way. However, the available way couldn't be considered a reliable solution.

If someone were to list the reasons why Puppeteer loathed Lin Sanjiu, the list would likely be as long as a train. Among the top three reasons, one would undoubtedly be: 'Stubborn as an adhesive bandage that can't be shaken off.'

After catching up with the star at rocket-like speed for the first time, Lin Sanjiu thought it through and realized she had no other methods. So, she used her tried-and-true technique, creating a cage with her Higher Consciousness to trap Pig Eyes inside. Pig Eyes was startled at first and, upon seeing the snow-white star nearby, urgently called out, "Hurry, save me!"

The snow-white star happily flew up and shouted, "Thank you for your patronage!" before once again disintegrating Lin Sanjiu's Higher Consciousness into tiny fragments. Pig Eyes couldn't afford to waste a moment and disappeared in the blink of an eye, fearing that he was only caught due to his late start. This time, he vanished almost instantly.

Watching Pig Eyes and the snow-white star go far away again, Bohemia finally panted her way to catch up. Lin Sanjiu checked to ensure that Bohemia wouldn't get lost, then once again swooped down from the dark night sky. Just like last time, she didn't exert much effort and soon saw Pig Eyes back beneath her feet.

She first captured Pig Eyes who then got released by the snow-white star, and Pig Eyes scrambled away. After that, she collected her Higher Consciousness and continued chasing Pig Eyes. This cycle repeated four times in total, and when she captured Pig Eyes for the fifth time, the snow-white star finally stopped in place.

"Big sis, you really have perseverance," he said with a hint of admiration, coming to a halt and watching Pig Eyes struggle within the Higher Consciousness cage. "How many times is this now? You've won, and I give up."

"You give up?" Pig Eyes immediately screamed, "On what grounds do you give up? You have business coming to you, and you give up? She can only do this a few times. Can she keep repeating it forever?"

The snow-white star didn't respond to him but turned to look at Lin Sanjiu. "Big sis, how many times is it now?"

Lin Sanjiu understood his meaning and thought for a moment before answering, "The seventh time."

"So many times?" The snow-white star was surprised, and a smile played on his voice. "I thought it was only five times."

He seemed to know that he was right, but he had no intention of correcting Lin Sanjiu. The snow-white star floated forward a couple of steps and turned to look at Pig Eyes, who was trapped within the Higher Consciousness. "Mr. Mo, seven times."

"Huh?" Pig Eyes seemed a little slow to catch on.

"Seven times," the snow-white star emphasized, "for small businesses, no credit is given."

Pig Eyes stared for several seconds. These quiet seconds were unimaginably long, and even Bohemia managed to catch up and witness the scene.

"You—" When Pig Eyes spoke again, his voice was so high-pitched that he could have been a singer, "You charge me by the—by the number of times? We've known each other for so long, and you—you charge me by the number of times?"

"In business, dear brother, we must settle accounts clearly. In the past, helping you escape once was enough, so you misunderstood," the snow-white star replied, maintaining a friendly tone. Clearly, he was a businessman who oozed friendliness. "However, because you're a long-standing customer, I'll give you a discount and consider it payment for six escapes."
