Chapter 16: We Found Your Husband
“Marcie,” Lin Sanjiu controlled her facial muscles and tried her best to sound amiable, “can you
come over here? I want to ask if you have seen my little silver bottle.”
Bringing up that little silver bottle, Marcie immediately thought of the Ability Polishing Agent.
Marcie did not move from the spot, she was baffled and just replied, ”I placed it on the sofa,
didn’t I?” As she said this, she was still patting Kong Yun’s back.
As they left with Kong Yun, they had no choice but to leave the Ability Polishing Agent upstairs.
Lin Sanjiu also knew about that.
Lin Sanjiu suddenly knitted her brows, “Agh, I’ve forgotten!” She turned to face Kong Yun,
saying, “Blame it all on my bad memory! Can I bring the both of them upstairs with me? Older
Sister Kong, is it okay if you wait here for a moment?”
Kong Yun was stunned for a moment.
Lin Sanjiu knew that she, herself, was acting quite abnormally, so she did not give Kong Yun
even the chance to reply. She pulled Luther to the entrance and gestured for Marcie to follow,
“Come, we can also see if there are other useful supplies.”
Marcie still had a doubtful look, but she stood up and complied.
“Older Sister Kong, don’t be afraid. We will come back here soon…” Lin Sanjiu said with a smile
and pulled open the front door.
Through the little opening before the door closed, Lin Sanjiu saw Kong Yun sitting in the living
room, looking back at her expressionlessly. When the front door closed with a bang, her face
was enveloped by the darkness.
Just as the door was closed shut, Lin Sanjiu turned and sprinted upstairs; the two others were
confused but followed her quickly. Luther was the first one to react, he murmured, ”What’s the
matter? Did you find something amiss?”
“I hope… I hope that I over analyzed it!” her words came out in bits as she vigorously climbed
up the stairs with wide strides. “I must go upstairs to confirm something first…”
Within a few minutes, the three of them used their full stamina to reached the top floor. Lin
Previously, they ate in the dark and left immediately, so no one realized anything strange. Now
that they looked carefully, they discovered that there was something wrong. There were messy
piles of chicken bones and skins beside three of the bowls. But beside Kong Yun’s bowl, there
was nothing.
[Well this is nothing new, maybe she likes to eat chicken bones…] Just as Luther was about to
say this, he saw Lin Sanjiu serious expression as she brought Kong Yun’s bowl closer to them.
He scanned it and immediately swallowed his words.
In this scathingly hot Hyperthermal Hell, even Posthumans like themselves were constantly in
a state of mild dehydration. This was the reason that they had to appropriately drink water
every now and then. Even though they had decided to settle down at the supermarket, each
drop of water was extremely precious to them. Naturally, they drank up all the porridge soup
before.
However, there was still half a bowl of shimmering white broth in Kong Yun’s bowl. When she
checked with a spoon, Lin Sanjiu found that there wasn’t a single grain of rice left and all the
chicken had also been eaten. Only the most precious thing in this New World, water, was left
totally untouched by Kong Yun.
“Why… why doesn’t she need to drink?” Luther frowned as he bit his lip so tightly that there
was a mark. Lin Sanjiu had a grim expression.
Thanks to her [Keen Senses], she managed to piece the random fragments of clues together. But
if her intuition was right, Kong Yun was a thornier problem than any duoluozhong.
three of them froze. [Did they take that long?] Lin Sanjiu could not help looking at the time
on her digital watch.
They spent only ten minutes from the time they came upstairs. She could not tell what Kong
Yun’s purpose was for following them so closely.
Noticing that the two others were silent and just standing blankly, Marcie quickly raised her
voice and called over, “Wait for us at the door. We will come out soon.”
“Marcie, Luther, didn’t both of you just met her yesterday? She is just a passing acquaintance…”
There was an almost deranged smile on her face. “Without this girl, both of you can go on living
your lives the way you wanted to, it wouldn’t be a loss.”
“You really did plan this out well for us.” Lin Sanjiu smiled coldly without looking at Luther’s
and Marcie’s expressions. She only felt a brewing fire of anger in her heart.
Hearing this, Kong Yun turned to look at her, “Lady, I don’t see your boyfriend beside you. I
figured both of you were just playing around, you won’t understand the feelings between my
husband and me… I must not die. Even if everyone dies, I must not die. I will wait for my
husband at home…”
Luther could not stand listening to her anymore and retorted, “Enough of your bullsh*t! If you
want to eat someone, go back home and eat yourself!”
Lin Sanjiu felt a sense of relief, and she quickly smiled at the two of them.
When she was about to face Kong Yun again, her eyes stopped at her own bedroom door. In the
dark, the door seemed so black as if it was a part of the entire universe; behind the door, was a
double bed.
Instantaneously, a flash of thought pierced through her mind. Before Lin Sanjiu was aware, she
already asked the question: “Kong Yun, you mentioned that when you woke up last night, only
his pajamas was left on the bed?”
“Yes, why did…” Kong Yun did not finish her sentence, and her face immediately turned as
white as a sheet when she saw Lin Sanjiu’s expression.
Lin Sanjiu smiled vengefully showing her white teeth, she stared at Kong Yun’s face, “Bingo! We
found your husband!”
