Chapter 231: Breathless

Translator: Pluto Editor: Vermillion

Just as Lin Sanjiu felt her heart sinking as heavily as the two figures which had fallen out from the window above, the two people suddenly moved. They stretched out their limbs, as if trying to catch any sort of dangling lifeline. Lin Sanjiu was relieved as she quickly flew over to help them. contemporary romance

Lin Sanjiu figured that they must have been affected by the blast so they were incapacitated for a moment. She stretched out her body and accelerated toward the two people, hoping to create a net with her body to catch both of them.

As Lin Sanjiu got closer, she got a better view of their faces. Even though Rena’s face was black with soot, Lin Sanjiu could still see the girl’s frightened expression. Rena’s mouth was opened as if she wanted to make a sound, but her voice was stuck in her throat. “Ahhhhhhhh!” On the other hand, Reno was screaming loudly as he was flung far from the building because of the blast. His voice resonated through the building, echoing through each floor.

“As long as they are okay, we can teach Derik and his gang a lesson later!” Mrs. Manas said to Lin Sanjiu, with a calmer voice.

Judging from the positions of both children, it was impossible for Lin Sanjiu to catch both of them. Lin Sanjiu give it a quick thought and decisively flew under Rena, as she was closer to her. As Reno flew out from the building a little later than Rena, his position was a little higher and had a few more seconds before reaching the ground.

When Lin Sanjiu reached for Rena with her skinless arm made of blood-red muscles, Rena was not afraid at all. In fact, Rena had never noticed that Lin Sanjiu was so cute. When she finally felt that she wasn’t falling as quickly, she burst into tears, “I was so scared!”

Carrying an additional weight, Lin Sanjiu couldn’t help being dragged down a little. Thankfully, her current state was far superior to when they were at that demonic building. Once she secured Rena, she rushed upward once again.

Reno continued screaming as he fell but, knowing that Lin Sanjiu was nearby, he couldn’t help feeling relieved. For a second, his expression was just very weird. He didn’t appear to be hurt badly. Just when Lin Sanjiu was at ease, she sensed a gust of wind from the back of her neck.

Normally, with the movement of air caused by the blast, she should not have noticed that bit of disturbance in the airflow. Yet, she felt it without any real reason, and it seemed familiar to her.

“Behind you!” Mrs. Manas shouted, Lin Sanjiu’s scanning radius immediately expanded and her higher consciousness speedily create an image of what was behind her in her mind. A dark brown ball was flying directly toward Reno with a sharp whistling sound. Suddenly, there was a strong draft and the ball reached Reno before Lin Sanjiu.

When the ball unfolded and showed an arm, Lin Sanjiu was still several meters from Reno.

Everything happened too quickly. “Brother!” Rena shrilled. At the same time, Reno had been hit by that person’s arm. He stopped falling downward because that impact threw him horizontally, straight toward the building. His body folded in a 90° angle as it headed toward the walls of the building.

One could only imagine how powerful that attack was since it changed Reno’s trajectory even though he was freefalling. A few drops of blood fell on Rena’s face. She closed her eyes involuntarily and started screaming in Lin Sanjiu’s arm.

“Kill him!” Reno’s body hit the walls of the bank building violently while Rena screamed. He didn’t break through the windows of the building. It wasn’t because he had bad luck but that human cannonball had already planned for him to hit a wall. When Reno hit the wall, the impact was so huge that he vomited blood. After that, his body slipped down to the ground following the walls of the building.

The human cannonball looked like he was going to follow up with another attack. There was another gust of wind, as if the man wouldn’t leave Reno until he killed the teenager. Just then, the human cannonball unfolded and changed back into the dark-skinned man Lin Sanjiu met previously. He leaped and barely evaded Lin Sanjiu’s attack, then held on to an air-conditioner unit and quickly got into the building.

Lin Sanjiu was too worried and anxious to chase after him. She quickly flew downward. Rena’s pink wig had long been blown away. Her black hair, swept by the wind, whipped her face. Her tears leaked as she squeezed her eyes into two slits, bearing the painful upward gust of wind.

After a few heart-stopping seconds, Rena let out a suddenly sob without any warning. Lin Sanjiu finally caught Reno’s ankle and broke his fall. With the current strenght of Lin Sanjiu’s higher consciousness, it wasn’t as difficult for her to hold on to the siblings as before. With some effort, she flew down slowly until she could put the two children on the ground.

“Brother!” Rena quickly rushed over to check Reno’s injuries. While Rena went over to look at her brother, Lin Sanjiu did not dare to even relax her constant scanning. She extended her higher consciousness to its maximum scanning range. She spotted a few people on the rooftop shunning from its edge and concluded that they were Derik and the others. There was no one else hiding near them.

“Did you notice that?” Mrs. Manas said in a rather serious tone.

“Yes,” Lin Sanjiu replied grimly.

When that dark-skinned man suddenly unfolded from his ball-like form, Lin Sanjiu saw that the “7” on his back had turned to “8” at some unknown time.

Things seemed… more complicated than she thought.

“Lin Sanjiu, I think my brother has internal injuries. He doesn’t have any external wounds. What should we do?” Rena asked, sounding a little at a loss. Her voice snapped Lin Sanjiu from her thoughts. Rena didn’t dare to move Reno too much so she held his head and sighed, “If only there was a doctor around here!”

Lin Sanjiu was jolted by Rena’s words.

“There is a doctor here!” Even though he might not be reliable, he diagnosed the siblings’ condition correctly back then. ” If we just consulted him but not let him do any sort of weird operations, maybe it’ll be alright?” Lin Sanjiu thought to herself.”

“What did that cat said, he works in the provincial hospital, right?” Lin Sanjiu wrote. Reno had not fully recovered from his previous injuries, so it was quite unrealistic that he could survive these additional injuries. “What choice do we have? Let’s look for that cat doctor!”

With her guarding them, Lin Sanjiu guessed that the cat wouldn’t try anything funny if she was watching.

Rena’s expression eased a little as if she agreed that it was their only choice now.

However, they could not leave immediately.

“Lin Sanjiu,” Mrs. Manas said solemnly, “they’re coming.”

Even without Mrs. Manas warning, Lin Sanjiu already saw Derik and the others within her scanning range. They were rushing toward Lin Sanjiu and the siblings.
