Doomsday Wonderland - Chapter 272

Chapter 272: King Vs. King

Q: "Siri, I am back . I still have a few last questions . "

A: "Go ahead . "

Q: "If one out of the five books that a group has gathered is incorrect, what would happen when they verify the books with you?"

A: "All five target books must be collected and presented together . Otherwise, the verification will fail and the event will continue . "

Q: "Okay, in that case, would the four correct and verified target books be attributed to that particular team?"

A: "No, that would not count . Once the verification process is canceled, it means that the status quo remains, namely, none of the books are verified .

Q: "I see… There is still one most important question . "

A: " . . . "

Q: "Is there any way to know the content of a book without activating its effect?"

A: "Yes . "

The moment all the nine duoluozhongs attacked at once, the color from everything around them suddenly faded . Everything became white and warped . A sharp gust of wind brushed past her back, and Lin Sanjiu didn't even know where it came from . Even though she couldn't really see what it was, she felt a creepy, uneasy sensation crawling up the skin of her legs .

When Siri took the "How to Render" book and before she laid eyes on it, Lin Sanjiu already took a deep breath and activated her ability in her mind . At the same time, the sweat-covered card which Rena had been holding changed into thin pieces of book pages . At that moment, the spirit duoluozhongs around Lin Sanjiu still hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary . Lin Sanjiu shot a glance at the person standing at the stairs and then back at Siri .

When Siri saw the book, her mouth opened, preparing to say something . . . Lin Sanjiu had already smashed her fist violently at the constantly morphing duoluozhong . At the same time, Siri announced that the verification process had been canceled . As Lin Sanjiu had prepared herself for the situation beforehand, her attack threw the thing a few meters away from her . Lin Sanjiu turned back and swept her arms across the four books on the table . With a white light, the fours books were converted subsequently into her cards and she snatched them .

Lin Sanjiu didn't even care to look at the book in Siri's hand . Even though that book was very similar to the book that Silvan had with him, one of the words within the long title was different . That was more than enough to trick a duoluozhong .


Once Lin Sanjiu had the cards in her hand, she suddenly leaped up before she even had the time to look down . Following which, a black shadow swept past the spot where her ankles were at just moments before . Meanwhile, flashes of white light suddenly erupted from the stairs . Amidst the white light, two figures rushed toward the stairs; they were Reno and Silvan .

It was only then that Lin Sanjiu finally stopped holding her breath .
The critical part of their plan was for Rena to switch from being "hostage" to a "ticking time bomb" . Considering the white light from the stairs, one of the few book pages have been activated . But, no one knew how the effect of a passage of that romance novel would affect the woman in the hooded cape .

"Fate had inadvertently led me to meet him . Many years later, on a winter day, I couldn't help smiling while reminiscing about the past . Those years of young love were too bright . They were so bright that, in contrast, the rest of my life became dull and colorless . "

"From those words, it should at least have a blinding effect, right?" As this uncertain thought surfaced in Lin Sanjiu's mind, she suddenly couldn't move . She had been stopped forcefully . Behind her, black hair poured down from the ceiling, blocking the light . When the strands of hairs were about to touch Lin Sanjiu's shoulders, she fell to the ground and rolled away .

Boom! The explosion sound was very weird . For a moment, it was so loud that it sounded like it could destroy the world, then it became very soft as if just a passing breeze . This weird sound was accompanied by whirring shockwaves which started appearing . Coincidentally, one of the shockwaves brushed past Lin Sanjiu back and hit the long black hair hanging in the air . The hair was cut to bits and suddenly something made an indistinct scream .

Shortly after, a teenage girl's sharp voice rang out, "No! It's useless!"

Lin Sanjiu felt her heart tighten .

This time, that incredibly powerful attack was also from the pages in Rena's hand . The attack was very powerful probably because the passage described the intense emotions that an artist from the Romantic period felt when he was first sent to a battlefield . The attack was not only very powerful, but it had a wide area of effect . A few of the spirits who were unprepared for the attack instantly turned to smoke once they got hit by a shockwave from the attack . Though the West Wing team was quite far from the epicenter of the attack, they were flung far away despite trying to use all sorts of means to defend themselves .

Yet, such an attack was totally useless against that woman?

From Lin Sanjiu's view, she could see a few figures approaching her . The person leading the group was Reno . As he ran, he hurled his pages of almanac behind . He was quickly followed by a tall figure, Silvan . Lin Sanjiu could see that he was carrying a smaller person on his shoulders, it was Rena .

In the distance, a person in a hooded cape slowly stood up amidst the smoke and rubble of the destroyed stairs .

She dusted her Changpao and her sleeves rolled off her hands slightly . That was the first time Lin Sanjiu saw that woman's hand . It was a fair, dainty hand which certainly looked very human .

"I have to admire your bravery . "

When Reno stopped beside Lin Sanjiu, panting, the woman in the hooded cape also started to speak slowly . She acted as if the chaos around her had nothing to do with her . She even laughed faintly for a second . Her voice echoed, "Handing me those books obediently was really your best choice . "

"Rena lost some lives," Silvan whispered, and that immediately drew Lin Sanjiu's attention away from the woman . "So, the west wing team needs to come back . "

The previous shockwaves killed a few duoluozhongs and the remaining duoluozhongs were stopped by the members from the west wing . For now, working with Lin Sanjiu's group seemed safer than with that scheming woman in the hooded cape .

Lin Sanjiu threw a quick glance at Rena, who had temporarily lost her ability to fight . Lin Sanjiu nodded at Silvan to thank him for looking after the siblings before she smiled at Reno, "You guys take care of Rena . Wait for me . "

Rena was stunned, "You're going alone?"

The woman in a hooded cape suddenly moved . In a blink of an eye, she had already approached them . Lin Sanjiu didn't have the time to answer . She leaped up and took the woman head-on . The two women collided strongly in mid-air . The impact was so strong that it created a thunderous boom .

"I think she will come back very quickly," Silvan crossed his arms and smiled at Reno .
