Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 964: Measures regarding the enforcement of oaths
The room was quiet for a while before Octo sighed slowly. He sat on the edge of the bed with his hands on his knees. When he looked at Lin Sanjiu, he couldn't tell whether the expression on his face was helplessness or ridicule - or both.
Lin Sanjiu pressed her fangs against the floor and said nothing.
Under the pressure of silence, Octo finally spoke: "...Have you ever heard of the 'Planting Pledge'?"
"No."
Octor was silent for a while, smiled bitterly, and suddenly blurted out a sentence that seemed to be without thinking: "Why does the Creator always prefer one to another?"
Lin Sanjiu raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"
He hesitated for a few seconds, shook his head, and changed the topic.
"No, it's nothing. Have you really never heard of Planting Oath? It is an ability that has only been discovered recently... Recently, advertisements for hiring people with this ability have been flying all over the world in the Twelve Realms. It's there."
Lin Sanjiu finally understood why Octo refused to say a word when he was pretending to be Stan. When he spoke naturally, his eyes were flowing and his voice was gentle, a bit more feminine than the average woman. Paired with the voices and faces of Stan and his roommates, it was strange, abrupt and uncomfortable.
Those suspenders probably belong to Octo himself... It turns out that "he" is a woman. She almost forgot that transformation is not necessarily limited to people of the same gender.
"Go on. What is the relationship between this ability and the person who transformed you?"
"It is precisely because of the planting oath that I cannot reveal this person's information to you." Octor shrugged. "It can turn a person's promise into an entity, and then plant it inside the person's body. Make this person absolutely unable to break his oath within a period of time. If you don’t believe what I say, you can go to the bulletin board and ask."
Lin Sanjiu felt that these words were vaguely familiar. After thinking about it, she asked intentionally: "What will happen if we violate it?"
Octor glanced at her with the end of his eyes. Next, he spit out an almost identical answer to 12: "It's not what will happen, but I simply 'can't' do it."
The words of 12 were confirmed by another person at this moment; obviously they were all under the "Planting Oath" - it seems that "X" is not willing to let others find Lu Ze or himself in any case , actually spent so much time hiding his whereabouts. Could it be that X himself is a [Planting Oath] ability user?
As if he was afraid that she wouldn't believe it, Octo raised his wrist and rolled up his sleeves gently. Between the two floating veins, there is a small seed pattern printed like a tattoo, which has just sprouted.
"Seventeen months," Octo touched it and said calmly, "After seventeen months, it will completely open, wither, and disappear. If you ask me again then, I will be able to tell you. What does it look like and what is its name. Otherwise, even if you kill me now, you won't be able to get a word - although I am not willing to lose my life to keep other people's secrets."
Seventeen months later, the corpses of Bohemia and the Puppet Master may have become cold.
Unexpectedly, he encountered another setback - Lin Sanjiu was full of anxiety and immediately replied: "I don't need you to tell me. I already knew his name and what he looked like. I just need to know where he is!" ”
"Ah, I really don't know this."
"How is that possible?"
"Every time, that person takes the initiative... to call me. I don't know where he stays on the ship." There was a pause in the middle of this sentence, as if he didn't know how to word it.
Seeing that she stopped talking, Octo sighed and continued: "I transformed into a member of the Night Parade and got on the ship just because I wanted to participate in the experiment and get rid of the doomsday reincarnation. I am more serious than you. I have nothing to do with it, and I don’t care at all about the person who transformed me... But to be involved in such trouble makes me very headache. If possible, I hope to tell you everything you want to know. , I asked you to let me go as soon as possible."
"But when you reported me to Tan Zhang, you didn't hesitate at all." Lin Sanjiu sneered. "Furthermore, after you reported me, you were afraid that I would cause trouble for you, so you immediately went to Lu Ze - the person who transformed you - to change you into the form of your roommate. You can't get away with this, right? ?"
Perhaps after hearing the name Luze, Octo moved a little unnaturally.
"If you think about it from my position, if a person suddenly becomes suspicious of me for no reason, it is very likely that my plan will be ruined... Is it natural for me to attack him first? It's just that I didn't It's no use thinking about Tan Zhang, it looks like you don't even have a scratch."
"So, you are completely useless to me?" Lin Sanjiu's eyes turned around his neck, and her voice deepened: "Then I can't find a reason to keep you alive. You live If you come down, it will only become a trouble for me."
"My dear, even with this, you may not be able to kill me."
Although his face was a little pale, Octo raised his head stubbornly, straightened his back and folded his legs with a bit of pride: "What's more, the person who transformed me doesn't know that I It has been exposed. If I were you, I would leave myself a way out... As long as you are smart next time, you can always follow the clues from me to find that person."
Lin Sanjiu thought for a few seconds and asked, "How could the planting oath allow you to do this?"
"You misunderstood," Octo shook his head. "If I knew you were nearby, of course I couldn't deliberately meet that person under such circumstances, otherwise wouldn't I be your guide? But if you Your whereabouts are very covert. I don’t even know if you are around, so it doesn’t count as a violation of your oath. So, don’t tell me where you plan to hide, when you plan to hide, and how you pretend to be..."
This man is as slippery as a well-oiled fox.
Thinking about it now, even 12 was trying every possible means to reveal information to himself at that time... It seems that no matter how incredible the external constraints are, they are not as willing as people's consent.
Lin Sanjiu made a decision quickly - partly because Octo was trapped in space like her and could not go anywhere except the Yuehai; even if he wanted to transform again to avoid her, he had to You need to meet with Lu Ze first.
"You'd better not try to tip off Tan Zhang," she warned, taking off the halo from Octo's neck: "He is no threat to me, but I can find you at any time... After all, you I have to continue to stay on the ship in my current capacity."
"If you don't report me with Tan Zhang, there is no need for me to do anything more." Octo stared at the aperture and slowly left his neck, "So we...understand each other, right?"
Lin Sanjiu didn't trust him at all, so she didn't say a word.
No news from Lu Ze means that Bohemia and the puppet master will still not be found for a while; but she has experienced too many setbacks and dangers in the past, but she has developed a persistent and strong character. Even if she is frustrated, her fighting spirit cannot be dampened. Sometimes she is like a maned dog that has found its target and can pursue it tirelessly and endlessly - the puppeteer was once so annoyed by her that he called her "chronic ulcer that won't get better."
Sighing softly in her heart, when she passed by Octo's roommate's bed, an idea suddenly came to her mind.
"I just don't have anywhere to go," she patted the empty bed, "Is your roommate dead? You probably don't mind if I stay here temporarily, right? We are all women anyway."
Hearing the last sentence, Octo's eyes suddenly flashed with light - he was as happy as a girl who couldn't help but curl up her lips when receiving a bouquet of flowers from her lover. He raised his toes and coughed twice: "He is missing, but I didn't kill him. He probably died in the riot. But you can't live here."
Lin Sanjiu lifted up the pillow, looked at it, and asked casually: "Why?"
"Why are you so stupid! I have already said that if you were here, then due to the binding force of the oath, I would definitely warn that person not to come." Octo waved his hand, "Besides, the room is usually When someone is around, that person never comes to call me."
"Oh,"
When Lin Sanjiu straightened up, she had already stuffed the diary card through the gap in the pillow case and pressed it under the pillow core. ~IndoMTL.com~ She can't keep an eye on the area day and night, so this card comes in handy; as long as Luze approaches this room, she will definitely know!
"I hope you can cooperate. Believe me, you definitely don't want to have an enemy like me."
After asking Octo for his room key card, she gave a serious warning - but to be honest, it was just a show. She wanted to make the other party think that her surveillance would come from outside the door; because she felt a little unsure, she needed to warn him.
This hint hidden between the lines was accepted by Octo without any doubt.
He watched her walk out of the door, and when she was about to close the door, he sighed faintly: "...there are too many people I can't afford to offend recently."
When Lin Sanjiu raised her eyebrows, the door had already slid shut again.
As she walked towards the bulletin board, Octo's words kept echoing in her mind for some reason. Luze is not a person who can be feared, even if he has special abilities; what Octo is alluding to is probably not Luze, but X, right?
But he said "there are too many"...Who else besides X?
Last time she pretended to be an abandoned woman looking for a boyfriend and posted an announcement with 12 detailed physical descriptions; this kind of content really stimulates human nature - now there are dozens of new replies.
But none of them are valuable.
Lin Sanjiu thought for a while, and then added: "I can't forget him, but he always lies to me, and his promises will never be fulfilled. Who knows where I can find the person with the ability of [Planting Oath] Really? Seeing that reincarnation is about to be broken, I want him to abide by his oath and live a good life with me..."
This time, before she could close the message stream, a new reply suddenly popped up.
"I am."
