Chapter 920: Lin Sanjiu's Battle Awareness

The incessant rambling of the deformed baby suddenly seemed distant, turning into noisy background noise. Lin Sanjiu stood still, tapping her heel lightly on the ground, and then a chuckle emerged from the seemingly empty s.p.a.ce.

"Don't scratch me, Number 3," a sharp command sounded in a s.p.a.ce that seemed devoid of anything.

The deformed baby abruptly stopped, as if someone had choked its throat. It took a deep breath for two seconds, and the power of the Little Hole finally prevailed. "Two days ago, when they let me out for a walk..."

Lin Sanjiu threw it onto her back, and the [Tornado Whip] whistled as it struck the ground. At the same time, she pushed off the ground and leaped backward. The shadow of the eyeball was hindered by the rus.h.i.+ng gusts of wind. Just as she thought the thing beneath her feet would be trapped in the wind as well, the deformed baby behind her uncontrollably blurted out, "It's—it's inside your shoe..."

"Number 3!" The sharp voice once again shattered the darkness. "Shut up!"

It was clear that the deformed baby knew it was influenced by Little Hole, yet it repeatedly told it to be quiet. Just as this thought arose in Lin Sanjiu's mind, fear dispersed it. She knocked her boot forcefully a few times but didn't feel anything inside it. "Inside my shoe? What do you mean?"

"Number 3—!"

Beneath the scream, the deformed baby seemed to immediately experience some kind of pain. It stuttered for a while, then struggled to say, "It's—it's Number 1. It can merge into any... any environment or object it wants..."

Had it merged into her boot?

"It's useless. Don't think you can take off your shoe," the deformed baby squeezed out a few disjointed words from its throat, "Without your shoe, you still have your clothes. Can you strip naked? It can merge into any object on your body. That's why you can't attack it... Not only your attacks, even the ability of the Little Hole won't be able to target the sole of your shoe, right?"

"Shut up!" The voice from the sole of her boot grew several degrees sharper.

This time, the voice of the deformed baby abruptly ceased.

The power of Little Hole continued to operate, and Lin Sanjiu could feel it clearly. However, at the same time, she also felt that the deformed baby would probably remain completely silent.

With a mixture of shock and unwillingness, she tightly squeezed the neck of the strange baby and shook it forcefully. The creature's mouth closed, emitting a few m.u.f.fled "um" sounds—literally "shutting up."

However, the voice beneath her foot sighed regretfully, "Was it too late by half a step?"

Too late by half a step?

Just as she wanted to ask further, the deformed baby could no longer answer.

Lin Sanjiu flung it away with a swing of her arm, allowing it to continue "umming" as it flew towards the distant eyeball. Then she raised her foot, gathered all her strength, and fiercely smashed her sole into the ground—cement and debris splintered into the air, creating a deep, dark pit.

"It's useless," as she lifted her slightly numb right foot, the voice stuck to the sole of her shoe like chewing gum. "I'm inside your boot... You have to completely shatter the boot. But by then, I would have already moved to another place."

"What a filthy thing," Lin Sanjiu chuckled breathlessly and looked around. "And what are you here for?"

"My mission is to deliver you to the eyeball," the voice said leisurely. "I can't let you keep running around it. I want to go back and continue soaking."

The four words "deliver you to the eyeball" sounded so natural and matter-of-fact, as if it were the simplest and easiest thing in the world, as if it could be accomplished just by opening its mouth—

Wait a minute, as this thought crossed Lin Sanjiu's mind, she suddenly felt a tightening in her heart.

Indeed, it could be accomplished just by opening its mouth!

This ability of Number 1 must be "the power to make people unable to resist its commands"!

Just as her mental power rushed towards her ears, the voice also accelerated its pace, "Now, walk towards the eyeball..."

Defense Forcefield concentrated entirely on her ears, blocking and isolating her hearing. The latter half of the sentence became as indistinct as raindrops on a gla.s.s window—yet she could still vaguely hear a general idea.

Lin Sanjiu quickly called out a roll of tissue paper, tore off two pieces, balled them up, and stuffed them into her ear ca.n.a.ls. As she completed these actions, she suddenly realized that her feet were moving step by step forward.

The commands issued by Number 1 could even cancel out the power of Little Hole... She felt a chill in her stomach, bit her tongue hard, and used the pain to force herself to forcibly stop her steps—she heaved a sigh of relief when her footsteps did indeed stop.

Perhaps she hadn't heard the latter half of the sentence clearly? The effect hadn't fully manifested?

Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to take risks. As soon as her steps stopped, she immediately forced herself to step back, creating distance once again from the giant "calabash" not far away.

"Huh?" she vaguely heard a sound of surprise from her foot, but the following words were extremely muddled and lost their recognizable form outside the tissue paper ball and her palm.

Once it realized that she had blocked her hearing, Number 1 would definitely take the next step—

But what would that be?

The time she had to spare for contemplation was probably just a fleeting few seconds. She released her hands covering her ears, lowered her head, and glanced at her right foot.

The deformed baby had mentioned earlier that Number 1 could merge into the environment or objects... It not only used this as a way to hide and evade, but it could also launch a verbal "a.s.sault" on its targets unexpectedly. If its primary task just now was to counteract the communication ability of Little Hole and make the deformed baby shut up, it inadvertently gave Lin Sanjiu a valuable opportunity to realize its ability. If she were in the gaze of the eyeball, she would undoubtedly have become a piece of dead meat.

If she were Number 1, there would be only one thing she would do next.

Or rather, she would go to "one place."

Lin Sanjiu's movements were as swift as lightning. Even enemies who thought they could catch her off guard with their speed didn't know where their bones had scattered. And this time was no exception—when the paper ball in her ear made a slight noise, as if it had been grazed by something, her fingers had already clamped it out in an instant, then tightly closed, using her mental power to firmly wrap the paper ball.

The paper ball looked no different from ordinary tissue paper, but she couldn't help but let out a low laugh.

"This is great," she said, another small box appearing in her other hand. "I just happened to think one ability wasn't enough."
