Doomsday Wonderland - Chapter 394

Chapter 394: Let’s Count The Number of Times Lin Sanjiu Has Die

The tall woman in the mirror chamber lowered her head . A shadow hid her face, making it impossible to tell what her current expression was . The two people in the chamber stood still without saying a word as tension filled the air . Geran heard a mumbling voice from his opponent . He had to focus very hard before he could hear her quiet mutter .

"That owner…" the bloodied woman slowly lifted up her head to look at him . As she spoke, her cold amber eyes were surprisingly calm . "What did you do to him?"

After Geran heard Lin Sanjiu's question, he showed an expression which could only belong to Hei Zeji . Geran had a bland characterless face so when he made that expression it created a strong juxtaposition .

"Don't worry about others, you only need to die," Geran said with a smirk . As his demeanor, movements, and aura slowly became more and more like Hei Zeji, he always grew tired of saying too much despite being seemingly eager to talk just moments ago .

Lin Sanjiu remained silent as she watched Geran . Right now, she needed more information about his [Empty-handed Kleptomaniac] . If she fought "Hei Zeji" head-on without any information, her chance of winning—even in her best condition—was slim . To make things worse, she was already exhausted and had wounds all over her body .

"Really?" Lin Sanjiu sneered intentionally after thinking for a while . She decided to delay him with words . "I know the owner . Unfortunately, he told me that his active skill still can't be used for fighting . How are you going to kill me?"

Almost all Growth-types faced the same problem, their main active skills were usually not suitable for battle .

Geran wasn't surprised when he heard what she said . His expression barely changed and he even seemed a little pleased . At the same time, his intimidating and dangerous aura grew stronger .

Lin Sanjiu's heart sank . She originally thought that her opponent's Special Item could steal a person's ability like that [Rob the Poor to feed the Rich box] . With infinite apocalyptic worlds, it wasn't strange if there were different Special Items with the same effects .

However, based on her observation, Hei Zeji's evolved abilities probably weren't the only things that Geran stole from that man . When Lin Sanjiu gave it more thought, she remembered that Geran used the term "fighting ability" rather than "evolved ability" . When she considered this with the change in his temperament, her expression changed as she bit her lower lip .

Geran lifted the corner of his lips when he saw her expression change . A humorless smile appeared on his face .

[Empty-handed Kleptomaniac]

After this item appeared, there were no longer any more stories about legendary thefts . You can steal a person's cash, items, and skills . However, how could this compete with the ability to steal a person's entire "operating system"? Well, this item allows you to do so .

If every human is a computer, it can be said that our souls, capabilities, personalities, and memories . . . etc are part of our operating system . Without an "operating system", a human is merely an unthinking, breathing lump of flesh .

Instructions: The user has to activate [Empty-handed Kleptomaniac] beforehand and hide it in his hand . Once the user touches the target's body with the box, the target's personality, combat capabilities, skills, etc . (elements of their self) would be transferred and kept until the user required it .  

Note: There are only three empty slots in [Empty-handed Kleptomaniac] . At any point in time, the user can only keep a maximum of three combat systems . After a combat system had been collected, it can only be used thrice . After that, it will disappear from the box .

Friendly hint: After a person loses their combat system, the original owner would show signs of catatonia, dementia or loss of consciousness . Please check the local laws before using this item . The user is solely responsible for the proper and legal use of this item .

"Well, I can get the core essence of a person . " As Geran spoke, he stepped forward . The effect from his [Empty-handed Kleptomaniac] was very obvious . With a single step, Hei Zeji's intimidating and overbearing aura filled the entire room . Even Lin Sanjiu couldn't stop herself from shuddering .

"Just treat this as if you're going to be killed by your friend," Geran smiled, showing his white teeth .

Lin Sanjiu was pale as she stood motionlessly . Her body was covered with blast wounds . She could feel herself trembling but she didn't know if it was because she was weak or because she was too taken aback .

If she had to fight Hei Zeji, there was no way she could win .

After all, her current fighting techniques and observational skills were all taught by him .

"Goodbye," Geran smirked . Then, he suddenly disappeared .

Evidently, Hei Zeji had never used the full extent of his strength whenever he fought with Lin Sanjiu . Geran did not use any Special Items . When he jumped, his movement was so fast that Lin Sanjiu couldn't even see him . When he reappeared within her vision, he was already high above her head .

A black vortex several times the size of the one Queen Margaret threw at her whirred loudly as it appeared out of nowhere . The gigantic vortex spun rapidly above Lin Sanjiu's head . It generated such a strong air current that the pieces of flesh and dead bodies on the floor started spinning with it . Lin Sanjiu could barely open her eyes and could hardly keep her balance .  

When Lin Sanjiu received a similar blow from Queen Margaret, albeit at a small scale, she was already badly injured . If she was hit directly by this . . .

Before Lin Sanjiu could complete her though, Geran suddenly pulled back his arms . The moment he suddenly pulled back that black-hole-like vortex, it was as if he had drawn away a few million tonnes of normal atmospheric air as if a person was inhaling and then quickly exhaling all that air . The unraveling vortex hit Lin Sanjiu directly .

Lin Sanjiu seemed so weak and pathetic amidst the strong currents of the horrifying vortex .

Unexpectedly, the possibility of breaking any mirrors was the least of Lin Sanjiu's concerns . Considering the torrential airflow that was released by the vortex, none of the mirrors in the chamber were intact . The mirrors were instantly pulverized into silver dust . It was as if everything in the chamber had been placed into a high-speed blender and someone had switched it on .

Lin Sanjiu only manage to curl her body . After she struggled for a moment, she was swallowed by the chaos .

Geran stood alone in the middle of the mirror chamber . He closed his eyes as he sensed the flow of every cubic air around him . After some time, when all the silvery powder reverted back to their original form, he spotted a body lying motionlessly on the floor near one of the mirror walls . It was Lin Sanjiu .

The [Ability Polishing Agent] that Lin Sanjiu used to illuminate the chamber rolled out from her limp fingers . The bottle rocked a little as silver light filled half the room . Geran gave Lin Sanjiu a cursory glance before he let out a dry laugh with a mix of irritation and relief .

"Getting rid of these people was easier than I thought," he said to himself softly . He had no interest whatsoever in Lin Sanjiu's "torchlight" . As he spoke, he tapped his watch, and a black square-shaped shadow fell from the face of his watch and into his palm . That was his [Empty-handed Kleptomaniac] . He placed Hei Zeji's combat system back into the box very carefully . After that, Geran let out a long sigh and he returned to its usual collected, mild-mannered self . He tried to adjust his spectacles out of habit but he wasn't wearing them . Geran shook his head and laughed . He looked up and surveyed his surroundings .

"I'm the only survivor now . I am the victor," he shouted . He was trying to summon the announcer . "Shouldn't I get the grand prize?"

There was complete silence . Suddenly, he heard someone clapping loudly . He looked up and saw a dignified-looking person with a simple smile . That person clapped his hands as he slowly walked out from one of the mirrors .

The person had a masculine briskness in his movement but also a slender feminine body . It was difficult to determine his gender . Regardless of his gender, Ji Shanqing was beautiful .

Geran was taken aback by his sudden appearance . Wary, Geran immediately took a few steps back . However, when the person spoke with his unique and supple voice, Geran was relieved . That was undoubtedly the voice that informed them about the final royale battle .

"Congratulations! Congratulations!" Ji Shanqing beamed as he spoke . He did not even look once at Lin Sanjiu's body . "How should I address you?"

"You can call me G . "

"Oh, Mr . G! Indeed, you have defeated all the other players . You are the winner of the final pitstop station . Congratulations!"

Geran didn't need to hear all these unnecessary courtesy . He smiled at Ji Shanqing impatiently and quickly asked, "Can I collect the grand prize now? What is the grand prize?"

"Of course . That's not a problem," Ji Shanqing replied cheerfully and quickly took out a piece of paper and a pen . "Please wait a while . I must finish writing on this piece of paper . It will turn into the grand prize once you hold it . "

Geran nodded promptly . As he stared at that ordinary-looking paper, the eagerness in his gaze grew .

"The content of the grand prize is simple . " Ji Shanqing explained while he scribbled on the paper with his pen . Every now and then, he would even pause for a bit . "You can tell me what you want or something that you wish would happen . Whatever it is, once I write it down on this piece of paper and hand it to you, the content of the paper will become reality . So, Mr . G—"

"I want to gain the final form of my Growth-type development!" Geran interjected . He was getting more and more excited . He was so excited that even a few veins started appearing on his forehead . It was difficult to tell if his smile represented his excitement or crazy fanaticism . It was apparent from the way he said those words that he had repeated that to himself many times before . "I know that the benefit of being a Growth-type isn't just that our overall body constitution would improve a bit each time we leveled up! Why is our main active ability so weak? How much potential must they hold such that they have to be restricted in such a manner? I know that it is impossible to gauge the incredible potential of a Growth-type . It's unimaginable… I want to gain that final form!"

"Final form…" Ji Shanqing nodded with a serious look on his face . He added a few words on the paper . When Geran stopped to breath, Ji Shanqing read out the words he wrote, "Starry Carnival Amusement Park hereby rewards the grand prize to G . . . What's your name, sir?"

"Geran!"

Geran had never introduced his name with such enthusiasm before .

Ji Shanqing put down the paper and the pen . He crooked his head and flashed a nice, innocent smile at Geran .

"So, you're Geran…"

As he spoke with his pure, untainted voice, the mirror chamber suddenly darkened a little .

As Geran was so delighted, he did not notice the mirror behind him . A group of shadowy figures had gathered in the mirror behind him . Each of them looked like him, but they were of different sizes and shapes . They stepped out of the mirror, one after the other, without making a single sound .

At that moment, Geran's full focus was on Ji Shanqing's hand . His heart pounded so loudly that even Ji Shanqing could hear it . Ji Shanqing handed the paper to Geran with a smile, "Here . This is your grand prize . "

Geran took the piece of paper swiftly from Ji Shanqing's hand . Even though Geran wasn't usually this skilled, he took the paper from Ji Shanqing's hand with lightning speed . He did this with pinpoint accuracy and with a good strength control .

After he saw the paper, he looked up with puzzled eyes . It was as if he momentarily couldn't process the situation before him .

Ji Shanqing crooked his head and gave him a sympathetic smile . It was only then that Geran tore his eyes away from the paper unwillingly and looked at the mirror behind Ji Shanqing .

Through the reflection, he saw another exact replica of himself . The replica placed its hand on his shoulder .

"Geran . "

Geran heard his own voice .

An almost non-human cry erupted in the room abruptly . Ji Shanqing lowered his eyes as if he found that too pitiful . After a few seconds, he spoke as if he was talking to someone, "Is it done? Now, you can bring him away . "

A group of "Gerans" nodded their heads . After that, they held both his arms and dragged Geran toward the mirror . The original Geran had a vacuous expression on his face and a pair of soulless eyes . He stumbled as the replicas dragged him . Just when Ji Shanqing was about to leave this mirror chamber with the group of "Gerans", all of them suddenly stopped .

"What's wr—" he frowned .

Before he could finish his question, he saw the blood-covered person blocking the group of "Gerans" .  The person couldn't even stand straight . There were numerous wounds all over her body . Two amber eyes peered from the bloodied figure, "You're not bringing him anywhere . "
