Chapter 866: Searching for a person, starting from scratch


Even though she asked Bliss to search and rescue Yu Yuan, why is it that the members of the Twelve Organizations are the ones who found him now?


Lin Sanjiu walked out of the tavern with doubts in her mind, carrying this biggest discovery back to Exodus.


After parting ways at the exhibition hall, she never had a chance to contact Bliss. Later on, it became even more impossible after she had to feign death. Could it be that Bliss couldn"t find Yu Yuan and gave up, allowing him to be found by the Twelve Organizations?


That was certainly possible, but she couldn"t help but think of another possibility.


If there is someone within Luther"s personalities who is a member of the Twelve Organizations and learned about Yu Yuan from Bliss, then... could they be using this information to lure her out?


"Such a nuisance," Lin Sanjiu sighed and released her Higher Consciousness. The barbell she had been holding high in the sky plummeted to the ground. "Why do they have to kill me?"


Just as the 80kg barbell was about to hit the ground, her Higher Consciousness surged forward once again and entered through the narrow gap below, unsteadily lifting it back up. This demonstrated the flexibility and resilience of her Higher Consciousness, a result of her training. This could be heard in the heavy panting of Mrs. Manas.


"Regardless of whether this is their trap or not, I have to go and see." Lin Sanjiu manipulated her Higher Consciousness, gradually lifting the barbell into mid-air, but she started to feel the strain. "Hey, are you okay?"


"Ab-about to... die..."


Mrs. Manas managed to squeeze out half a sentence, followed by a loud thud as the barbell finally crashed onto the floor, leaving a shallow white pit. The sound echoed in the gym for a long time, and Lin Sanjiu almost didn"t hear the sound of the door being opened.


"What are you doing?"


Bohemia"s head peeked in through the crack in the door.


She had recently experienced a comprehensive immersion in modern human society"s technology and was living quite luxuriously. Products like shower gel, lotion, and other chemical products, as well as vegetables, meat, and other agricultural products, were considered rare luxuries in the Twelve Realms. She was like a mouse that had entered a granary and had been pampering herself for a few days, leaving her skin smooth and radiant.


But even with so many books and music on the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, it didn"t stop her from constantly sticking her head out behind Lin Sanjiu.


"I"m exercising my Higher Consciousness," Lin Sanjiu replied, suddenly remembering that her Higher Consciousness level was quite high. "Don"t you train?"


Bohemia chuckled through her nose. "Train like you? No way."


"So how do you train then?" It seemed that Lin Sanjiu had never seen Bohemia"s Higher Consciousness outside the Astral Plane. "What does your Higher Consciousness manifest as?"


"...It"s "a garden of intersecting paths,"" Bohemia stepped into the room barefoot, and with each step, countless ornaments on her body s.h.i.+mmered. "When I train, I need to communicate my own spirituality with the divinity of the universe, achieving resonance on a higher level... I"ve never used methods like your foolish muscle training."


Spirituality and divinity, it was all just hippie nonsense.


"My Higher Consciousness manifests as a school," Lin Sanjiu wanted to ask her some questions about Higher Consciousness but was afraid that she would realize how far she was from the highest level. After hesitating for a few seconds, she blurted out, "I have a friend who was found by the Twelve Organizations."


Bohemia crossed her legs and sat down, although her expression seemed to say, "What does it have to do with me," she didn"t say anything and waited for Lin Sanjiu to continue.


"Don"t misunderstand, he wasn"t pursued by the Twelve Organizations," Lin Sanjiu explained, retracting her Higher Consciousness and sitting face to face. "After he was injured, he wandered around and happened to be saved by the Twelve Organizations." - If this wasn"t a trap set by Luther"s personalities.


"Hey, he"s pretty lucky," Bohemia said nonchalantly, not even pretending to show any concern. She pulled out a small handful of cashew nuts from her pocket and asked while eating, "You didn"t rush to save him?"


"I did," Lin Sanjiu realized something was off after she spoke. She summoned her Higher Consciousness, wanting to see if she could use it to take the nuts from Bohemia"s hand. "But I didn"t find him at the time... and later on, circ.u.mstances didn"t allow me to go and find him again."


"This person is quite lucky." Bohemia stared at the Higher Consciousness in mid-air, and her eyes followed it as it slowly moved to her hand - even though Higher Consciousness was invisible and colorless, it seemed to be visible to people with stronger Higher Consciousness. "Generally speaking, the Twelve Organizations won"t voluntarily do acts of charity, but if they happen to come across someone in a dire situation, they might lend a hand. After all, we"re all their cash cows. What are you doing?"


In her precise manipulation, Lin Sanjiu momentarily lost control of her Higher Consciousness and pushed Bohemia"s hand, causing all the cashew nuts to hit her body and scatter on the floor.


"Aren"t you bored!" Bohemia seemed unaware of Lin Sanjiu"s poor control of her Higher Consciousness. "You wasted the food, pick them up!"


"Okay, okay."


Lin Sanjiu swept the floor with her Higher Consciousness a couple of times but eventually switched to using her hand. "So how do they handle the person after rescuing them?"


"How do they handle it? They handle it however they see fit. If the injuries are severe, they"ll probably be taken to a medical station," Bohemia picked up a cashew nut, blew off some dust from it with a hint of reluctance, but after glancing at the woman in front of her, she resisted the urge to eat it and tucked it into her pocket.


"There are medical stations?" Lin Sanjiu was surprised and stood up abruptly. "Where are they?"


It was indeed possible that Yu Yuan was taken to a medical station due to his severe injuries.


"Don"t you know? There are several of them."


"Tell me about the one closest to Black Market."


However, no matter how much Bohemia spoke, she still failed to clearly explain the location of the medical station. Although Lin Sanjiu could go and inquire later, she couldn"t be sure if the situation with Yu Yuan was a trap and didn"t dare to interact with people indiscriminately. Moreover, it would be safer and unexpected for the Luther personalities to have someone guiding them. With these thoughts in mind, she raised her chin towards Bohemia. "Let"s go, you"re coming with me."


Bohemia"s face instantly fell.


"Why should I go? What"s it got to do with me?" Reluctantly, she swept the cashew into her hand. "Just go by yourself. I still have a book to finish."


"I shut down Silas."


"Why are you like this?"


That"s just how Lin Sanjiu was. In order to make Bohemia obediently comply, she added another promise. "If you accompany me, I"ll treat you to fried potato sticks when we return."


It was a food Bohemia had never tried before. That evening, the two of them left Exodus together. After a few twists and turns, they finally arrived in the area where Black Market was located the next morning. The place was crowded during the day, so to conserve energy, Lin Sanjiu quietly sneaked into a private garage after signing in and slept until evening before making her way to the medical station.


From what Bohemia had said, the so-called medical station seemed to be a building converted from a pre-apocalyptic "Disease Control Center." Individuals with medical backgrounds, skills, or medical-related items could register with the Twelve Organization and a.s.sume corresponding roles in the medical station, earning a certain amount of service fees. However, due to the resilience of the Evolved, there were not many doctors stationed in the medical stations.


"I know a cat that would definitely be willing to be a resident doctor at the medical station." Lin Sanjiu thought of Dr. Meowie Hu and sighed softly in her heart.


"...What are you talking about in your dreams?"


Bohemia rolled her eyes in the dark night and still felt resentful about being coerced and lured out. "Stop talking nonsense. The medical station is right ahead."


Lin Sanjiu looked up and saw a five-story building standing among scattered low houses in the distance. The old signboard had long lost its light, and only when rows of round streetlights slowly drifted through the air could it barely illuminate the old sign that read "Medical Station."


A few scattered lights could be seen through the windows of the rooms inside the building, but the open door looked like a dark abyss. Although there weren"t many doctors, and it wasn"t a regular pre-apocalyptic formal hospital, the rule of "night duty" seemed to have been preserved. However, it appeared that the person on night duty was rather careless.


The area around the medical station was deathly silent, except for the occasional insect chirping, there was no suspicious movement.


"You keep watch outside for me," Lin Sanjiu whispered, coming to a halt first. Bohemia made a lot of noise while walking, which made her unsuitable for sneaking into the medical station together. "Pay attention to whether anyone follows me inside."


Bohemia didn"t want to look at Lin Sanjiu"s masked face and impatiently made a sound from her nose, "Hmm."


"Stay alert! Don"t fall asleep!"


"Stop talking nonsense." Bohemia swung her hand back and forth with the back of her hand, and the bracelets on her wrist made a pleasant jingling sound. But when Lin Sanjiu looked back for the second time, the spot where the woman with long curly hair had stood was empty—Bohemia had silently disappeared from the spot without making a sound.


There truly were no mediocre individuals in the sea of consciousness.


Lin Sanjiu casually put her hands in her pockets and slowly walked towards the entrance of the building. With the disguise of the mask, even if someone was currently monitoring this place, they wouldn"t be able to recognize her true ident.i.ty at first glance. She must not arouse any suspicion now.


Inside the open doorway, a gloomy darkness floated. As she approached the entrance, she felt a chilling coldness that was even colder than outside, mixed with the smell of iron. Lin Sanjiu entered the lobby and looked around with the faint light that seeped in from somewhere before turning and heading up the stairs.


According to the signs in the lobby, the patients who needed to be hospitalized were all on the upper floor. However, when she reached the corner of the staircase, she slowly came to a halt.


Even in a medical station, there shouldn"t be a severed head lying on the stairs, right?
