Chapter 1181: A Heartwarming Children’s Book

Lin Sanjiu held her breath and silently moved to the side of the door slit.

To avoid drawing attention, she didn’t turn on the lights in the Human Resources Department office. Standing in the dim darkness, she peered outside through the gap in the door.

The heavy and continuous rumbling of wheels soon turned into the corridor she was in. Two guards were pus.h.i.+ng and pulling a few machines that looked like X-ray machines, which were responsible for erasing the female NPC with a white line.

When the machines pa.s.sed by the door, Lin Sanjiu quickly put a candy in her mouth. After the second guard pa.s.sed by, and the distance seemed about right, she opened the door slightly, slid out, and quietly followed them.

It seemed that the hospital authorities still hadn’t suspected her death.

At this moment, the two guards were casually walking, not bothering to check every corner anymore. They seemed eager to get off work. Lin Sanjiu followed them for a few steps, and her shoulders relaxed a bit. She let out a slow breath. But just then, the leading guard suddenly turned his head and said, “We’re here… huh?” He stopped in his tracks.

She abruptly lowered her head, her heart leaping into her throat despite the candy in her hand. Although she tried to be inconspicuous, transforming from two people to three was still too obvious. The flaw in [There Is Probably Someone Like This in Your Cla.s.s] was evident here; the fewer the people on the opposing side, the more likely they would discover the one person who shouldn’t exist.

“Aren’t you on patrol?” asked the leading guard, furrowing his spa.r.s.e eyebrows as if trying to remember who Lin Sanjiu was. “Or is there something else you need to do?”

“I left something in the office,” Lin Sanjiu said in a low voice, gesturing towards the Human Resources Department room behind her. “I came back to get it…”

She had to forcibly swallow the words “and leave,” suddenly realizing a problem. These NPCs couldn’t leave, right? Where did they go after work?

Hearing her words, the leading guard half-believed and nodded, saying, “Leave early!” Then he beckoned to the other guard, who was now looking back at Lin Sanjiu. “Let’s go, we need to return the machines to the laboratory quickly.”

So, the corner ahead was the laboratory?

As the sound of the wheeled cart clattered and rolled forward again, the guards’ voices disappeared around the corner, and Lin Sanjiu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Gong Daoyi said he had hundreds of items. Couldn’t he give her something smaller than a candy?

“Go and take a look,” Mrs. Manas said, quite excited. “It’s the laboratory, isn’t it—”

Before she could finish her sentence, the sound of the wheeled cart suddenly came to a halt. The guard at the corner quickly poked his head out. “Did you go back to the Human Resources Department office to get something?”

Lin Sanjiu nodded.

“I find it strange,” the guard said, slowly walking back from the corner and patting his companion’s shoulder. The latter turned around to block the corridor. “I just remembered that when we came in, all the offices were dark. Do you really need to turn on the lights when you go back to get something?”

Her heart collided with her sternum.

Looking at their eyes and the dark holes in their faces, it was hard for her to judge if they were just suspicious or merely confused. With their eyes and dark holes focused on her, Lin Sanjiu lowered her head and quickly came up with an excuse. “Oh, it’s fluorescent. It’s easier to find without turning on the lights.”

“Let me see,” said the second guard, his tone no longer inquisitive.

Lin Sanjiu thought for a moment and walked up as if she was going to take something out of her pocket. “Here it is.”

As the two guards’ heads drew closer, the [Gizo the Geezer G.o.d’s Corpse] card in Lin Sanjiu’s palm suddenly emerged from its card form. Ever since she attained the corpse in the Salvation of the G.o.d, it had been buried deep in her card inventory. She didn’t understand how Mrs. Manas managed to instinctively summon the card and put it in her hand.

But the effect was instantaneous.

Unlike a normal human body, Gizo’s corpse immediately filled the entire corridor as soon as it materialized. The two guards, caught off guard, were struck by it. It was like being hit in the face by an airbag that rapidly expanded during a car collision. The sound of bones breaking echoed in the air before the sound of the collision with the wall, shaking the atmosphere. Even before Gizo’s corpse was thrown out a second before, Lin Sanjiu had already twisted and rushed towards the laboratory. With a leap, she jumped onto the top of the X-ray machine and tumbled in mid-air. By the time she landed on her feet, Gizo’s corpse had heavily collided with the X-ray machines behind her, causing them to fly off in disarray.

Lin Sanjiu didn’t rush into the laboratory. When she looked back, both guards had disappeared, and the heavy belly of Gizo’s corpse moved abruptly. It turned out that the two injured guards had skinny bodies. With the corpse pressed down on them, their cries were m.u.f.fled. As they struggled to get up, they moved the corpse up and down as if it were about to come back to life.

She quickly climbed onto Gizo’s corpse’s body, putting her weight on it. Stepping on the constantly swaying, obese body, she stumbled for a moment and quickly crouched down to stabilize herself. Finally, she temporarily pinned them down.

“Hurry,” Lin Sanjiu urged Mrs. Manas, knowing that relying solely on the weight of two bodies—especially when one of them was Gizo’s corpse—was not enough to keep two guards with medium posthuman strength down. She flipped through a children’s pop-up book in her hand. “Is there anything useful in this picture book?”

Since she didn’t usually lack items, Lin Sanjiu only just remembered now that she received the [Penguin Society Children’s Pop-up Book] from the grand prize. She now frantically searched inside for a suitable weapon. Fortunately, she had browsed through the pop-up book before, and Mrs. Manas remembered the general idea. She hurriedly replied, “The third page from the end; there’s a horizontal bar!”

A horizontal bar?

Lin Sanjiu quickly opened the third page from the end, and sure enough, a paper-made horizontal bar popped out from between two pages. With just a glance, she understood. In the picture, a row of children was waiting in line to swing on the horizontal bar, but they didn’t jump from the center of the bar. Instead, they stood at both ends. Each person had an exaggerated smile and eyes wide open, with the top half of their faces seemingly filled with fear, and the bottom half seemingly full of excitement. Upon closer inspection, the two ends of the horizontal bar had been polished into long sharp spikes. In places without dark red bloodstains, glints of metallic cold light could be seen.

As she pulled out the pop-up paper, it quickly transformed into a long horizontal bar stained with blood. Lin Sanjiu stood up with her legs bent, holding the bar high with one hand. Just as the corpse showed signs of movement again, she aimed and stabbed it straight into Gizo’s corpse.
