Chapter 746: 746
“Hold that guy!”
As an angry shout erupted behind her, Lin Sanjiu darted into an alley . This was the only pathway where she did not see any signs of people wearing blue-colored combat suits .
A series of messy pitter-patters echoed across the street in the Munition Factory after the man shouted . Lin Sanjiu pulled the mask off her face and turned it into a card . She looked to the left and right, frantically looking for a way out . Then, her eyes glowed when she saw a ladder hanging to one side of the wall . She took a few quick steps toward it and hopped onto it, causing the rust-laden ladder to let out a harsh metallic scream .
Raising her head, she attempted to look through the white mist but to no avail . Everywhere she looked, there was white mist . She did not know where the ladder would lead her to, but she had no other options left . As the footsteps were getting closer and closer to the entrance of the alley, Lin Sanjiu reckoned it was not the right moment to be indecisive .
Her movements were quick . Moving up the ladder, she put up a considerable large distance from the ground in the blink of an eye . Be that as it may, the ladder seemed endless, and no matter how fast she went, she was unable to reach the end .
Soon enough, several posthumans dressed in blue combat suits dashed out of the entrance of the alley, and Lin Sanjiu could see their shadows swaying on the ground .
She immediately stopped climbing upward and pressed the ladder as close to the wall as she could to stop it from rattling and giving her location away . Puffs of thick white smoke fluttered like silk in the wind from nowhere and painted her entire vision white . Lin Sanjiu had no idea why, but she felt warm when engulfed in the smoke .
Silently and cautiously, she tugged her leg in as she hid inside the mist .
Staring at the empty alley, the staff members of the Munitions Factory slowed to a stop .
“Where is he?” a youthful voice grunted . “There are so many forks here, it will take forever to find him . ”
Lin Sanjiu tightened her body as she listened closely .
“Captain Levin,” as another series of chaotic footfalls came into the alley, a woman’s voice wafted out, “Who is that guy?”
There was no reply from the man named Levin . Lin Sanjiu continued to wait in silence for a few seconds before the man began to speak .
“He is an impersonator attempting to infiltrate into the Munitions Factory,” said Levin . He had a deep, mellow voice that sounded as if there were strings vibrating inside of his throat . “Though his objective remains unknown . ”
“Captain . ” The woman walked a few steps into the alley and went closer to the ladder . “With all due respect, the road condition here is exceedingly complex, and it will be difficult to look for him with just us . Besides, all of us have our own missions, so why don’t we refer this case to the security department and have them…”
“That is not necessary . ”
Levin interrupted, and the woman turned silent with shock . Perhaps he realized his attitude was a little inappropriate, for he cleared his throat and began speaking again . “What I mean is, you guys go on your mission . I will handle this . ”
It seemed that none of them realized their target was just above them .
The last thing Lin Sanjiu would want right now was for the mist to be lifted by the wind . As Lin Sanjiu prayed in her heart for the wind to not appear at this moment, she heard the woman reply hesitantly with a yes . Following this, a clacketing noise ensued . Lin Sanjiu was a little relief when she saw them was finally leaving, but there was one shadow that remained unmoving .
“You got something to tell me, hmm?”
“Erm…” A cracking voice that Lin Sanjiu believed belonged to a teenage boy said falteringly, “Is captain going to notify the security department?”
‘Is this very important?’
Lin Sanjiu lowered her head, squinting her eyes . Vaguely, she saw a man with shoulder-length hair . And then she saw him turn his body halfway, staring straight at the last staff member who refused to leave .

“That is none of your business . Captain knows what he is doing . ” A silhouette rushed back and tugged at the teenage boy, trying to pull him away . The female voice then jumped in . “Let’s go . We still have a mission to complete . ”
Under Levin’s gaze, the teenage boy lowered his head like a deflated balloon . He said something again, but nobody could hear him well .
“Of course, I will inform the security department,” the tall man suddenly said, shocking the duo . He then let out a sigh, sounding like the wind that gazed through the strings of a piano . “I understand there is a ridiculous rumor going around in the factory and that’s made you guys a little uneasy . However, rules are rules, so there is nothing you guys should worry about . I will inform the security department right away . By the way, what is the mission you have this time?”
“We received intel that a new pocket dimension has appeared in the southwest direction, so we are heading there to check it out,” the woman answered . Lin Sanjiu had no idea why, but she had a hunch that the woman was kind of scared of the man .
“Oh, I see,” Levin chuckled . “Then, good luck in hunting . ”
After that, the duo gave obeisance to Levin then went away clumsily .
Levin sighed deeply once he saw both of them leave . He flipped his collar and waited . Then, when a buzzing noise came to life after a few seconds, he spoke in a low voice and sounded weary . “Close off the outer area, and then send a few more teams to me . Yeah, I’m looking for somebody . Tell them to be careful . I don’t want to alarm the people over there . Okay, I will send you my location right now . Alright, thank you . ”
After he hung up the call, he did not go away but remained standing quietly in his spot . After a while, he put his hands in his pockets and strode into the alley .
He stopped next to the ladder and angled his head up .
In that instant, even though she knew her [No Coincidence, No Story] was still in effect, Lin Sanjiu’s muscles were pulled taut . However, just as she readied herself to jump down and engage Levin in a fight, the building above her spewed out more smoke and the fog thickened . Levin looked around and then walked away when he found nothing .
Lin Sanjiu let out a long sigh of relief inwardly . She remained silent as she listened to the fading footsteps .

She was very certain that she had never come across this man before, so she did not know why he was so hell-bent on looking for her . Could it be that he was just doing his job and trying to chase her out of the Munitions Factory?
“Lin Sanjiu,” a crispy voice suddenly called out to her . “We are here, where are you now?”
It was the cat doctor!
“Come out now!” Puppeteer harrumphed impatiently . “Don’t make me wait for too long . ”
‘They’re also in Heaven Underworld?’
Lin Sanjiu felt the blood rush to her head as she was overwhelmed by waves of exhilaration and joy . All thought and reason was flushed to the back of her mind like a burst of noise .
“Hey, are you there? Why don’t you say something?” the cat doctor asked grumpily .
“I’m right here!” Lin Sanjiu’s heart leaped as she replied excitedly, “Meowie Hu? When did you guys get here?”
The second she finished speaking, a flurry of footsteps rang out in the distance . The footsteps were quick like a gust of wind, and the person arrived below the ladder in the blink of an eye .
Lin Sanjiu’s heart stopped beating for a moment and her blood ran cold . It was only at this moment that she heard Mrs . Manas’ voice, “It is the effect of a Special Item . You have been tricked! Run!”
Nevertheless, Mrs . Manas was too late . Lin Sanjiu lowered her head and Levin’s face appeared clearly in her vision . His hair fluttered in the air, and his pitch-black irises held nothing but coldness .

Lin Sanjiu did not run, as she knew that was never an option . If she leaped down, she would send herself straight into Levin’s clutches . On the contrary, if she went up, she would expose her back to Levin .
Right now, there was only one way left .
Gritting her teeth, Lin Sanjiu brandished her whip and sent a barrage of tornados at Levin . After that, she took out a metal case from her card and smashed it forcefully on the ladder, releasing a string of sparks into the air .
The case contained some resources the grand prize had prepared for her, and it was quite heavy . Gripping it tightly, she slammed the case several times onto the ladder, sending a loud jarring noise across the alley . Very soon, the ladder was broken into half and the lower part of it fell to the ground .
Before Lin Sanjiu climbed up the stairs to run away, she yelled at Levin, “Have you heard of route 300?”
As expected, Levin was stunned by her action . Seizing her chance, she activated the [Defense Forcefield] and went up the ladder at her top speed . Levin did not seem like someone she could mess with, and since he had called for foreign aid, Lin Sanjiu figured it was best not to engage him in a melee .
Her decision was proven to be right very soon . By the time Lin Sanjiu arrived at the end of the ladder and jumped onto the top of the building, she heard footsteps, probably of more than ten people, arriving below .
“Good timing! She is up there! Keep this perimeter clear and go up to search for her!” Levin barked out his order . He did not even need to give them a description of Lin Sanjiu—all they needed to do was search for someone who wasn’t wearing a Munitions Factory uniform . “Also, this is the refining workshop, right? Get them out of there . Now!”
