Doomsday Wonderland

Chapter 254: Exactly 4 Million Items

Translator: Pluto Editor: Vermillion

Lin Sanjiu would never have imagined that the books in Kisaragi Library were all Special Items. When the book dissolved into the dots of lights, she almost felt as if her non-existent heart had leaped out of her chest. Every single item there—that was, exactly 4 million—was a Special Item!

She had to admit that her incredible luck often helped her out during the most crucial situations. When one of the bookshelves was damaged and nearly a hundred books fell out, there was a high chance that the man with the top hat and his team could discover this. However, due to the fact that a Special Item could not integrate into another Special Item, none of their enemies discovered anything even when there was a heap of books on the ground. Extraordinarily, it was Lin Sanjiu who was the first person to uncover this discovery.

Saving herself from death's door, she immediate converted the book into a card and read the description.

"Dog Raising Guidebook? " Lin Sanjiu had just finished scanning through the words on the card with her higher consciousness when she felt a powerful gust heading her way. Regardless of her doubts toward the effect of the book, this was her only chance now!

Lin Sanjiu gritted her teeth, raised her arm to protect her head, and took a direct blow. Luckily, it was only a physical attack. Lin Sanjiu's higher consciousness just vibrated a bit. She didn't receive any sort of effect from any Special Item. Before the person could withdraw the attack, Lin Sanjiu flipped open the book in her hand. She quickly scanned the page with her higher consciousness.

Her higher consciousness could only create images in her head, it could not improve her reading speed. Luckily, she had opened the book at a page with a picture.

"Rottweiler..." when that word appeared in her mind, Lin Sanjiu felt her body sinking rapidly to the ground in a strange manner. The effect of the feather duster was almost at its end. Her three attackers, who were waiting to ambush her, weren't about to miss this chance. They abruptly ramped up the frequency of their attacks, that rained down on the skinless person before them.

An oppressive, monstrous growl suddenly filled the hall, causing the ground to vibrate slightly. It was like a rumbling thunder. When Lin Sanjiu felt the ground on her back, everything went dark for a moment. A gigantic black shadow leaped over her body in a split second and pounced on the people behind her. Disturbed by the sudden huge creature which appeared from nowhere, all the attacks missed their target. Lin Sanjiu quickly grabbed the opportunity. She turned over and got up quickly, just in time to see a giant dog, taller than a man and with black fur, biting a man's leg viciously.

Lin Sanjiu did not step forward, instead, while the three men were still distracted, she drew a book from the bookshelf beside her which was still wobbling non-stop. Even though the dog looked scary, it was just a dog. It definitely couldn't last long under the attacks from the three men. Besides, the small description under the photo stated: "Stable temperament, energetic, protective but knows restraint, this breed is not prone to aggression."

"Please give me a powerful book!" Lin Sanjiu prayed silently, even though she didn't know what qualified as "powerful".

The three men could attack her any second now, so she didn't have time to carefully choose her book. However, when she pulled out the book, she immediately felt disappointed.

"300 English Phrases for Traveling".

"This is even more useless than that Dog Raising Guidebook!" Just when she was about to throw it aside, she suddenly felt the floor shake. She looked up and saw that the large black rottweiler had received a serious blow. When it crawled up from the ground, it grew faint and then disappeared.

She had no choice.

As the three people charged toward her without saying a word, Lin Sanjiu quelled her anxiety and quickly glanced across the page. The page happened to be about asking for directions. A tourist was saying to a policeman, "Excuse me, I think I am lost."

As her eyes shifted away from the last word on the page, the man's top hat had already blocked the light above Lin Sanjiu's head, casting a shadow filled with murderous intent...

However, the black shadow suddenly glided past her. Lin Sanjiu was stunned. The man with the top hat actually just walked past her. Next, the two other men, who were just in front of her, suddenly acted like there was something wrong with their eyes or as if they were hallucinating. One of them pointed to another bookshelf and shouted, "There!" The other acknowledged and they ran in the opposite direction.

The three men actually got "lost" within this narrow path!

Lin Sanjiu was delighted at the turn of events. She leaped and jumped into the air, swiftly charging toward the nearest man. While the man was stupidly looking at the turning corner, she strangled his neck with her arm. "Crack," the person's neck bone snapped.

The number on Lin Sanjiu's back increased to 16. When a person received a lethal injury, they would not die as they still had their lives, but they would lose their ability to fight for a period of time.

Lin Sanjiu threw the man with the broken neck on the ground while he was panting. She raced back to the siblings' location like a leopard. On her way, she grabbed another book. Using the effects of the book, she repelled the people surrounding the siblings. The person who flew the furthest was the person who was holding the feather duster. That person landed right in front of Siri's desk.

After Lin Sanjiu's quick explanation, Reno held his sister's hand and jumped down from the bookshelves. "We can use all these?" he asked, almost in disbelief, as he stared at the rows of books in front of him.

Lin Sanjiu nodded her head and immediately twisted her body to look to one side. The book's "lost" effect had already ended.

"What can you use?" the man with the top hat eyed them from one bookshelf away. He did not move and his curious voice came from under the hat. He had noticed Lin Sanjiu's strange behavior. Despite being in a very tight situation, she still browsed through a book. He had his suspicions. He stared at the book that Reno had and also drew a book from one of the bookshelves.

At that moment, there was a sudden cacophony of almost inhuman screams. It interrupted the man with the top hat just as he was about to open the book in his hands. The screams filled with agony stopped abruptly after they reverberated through the library. Lin Sanjiu scanned the area around them with her higher consciousness and realized that the person she had flung aside, the person who was holding the feather duster, had been shredded into a bloody mess. What was left of him lay in front of Siri's desk. He had been killed by some unknown perpetrator.
