Under Lin Sanjiu directions, Marcie drove all the way to the 38-floor condominium and parked the car in a secluded spot for theh-end residential estate after all, so there were lesser people coed beyond recognition, the garden still looked unusually peaceful now

Hesitating for a moment, Lin Sanjiu sealed the brokenand switched on the air conditioner Zhu Mei was no longer around… it made no sense to save that electricity A cool environth, it would also be good for that wound on her neck At least, it would reduce the chances of infection under such high teical her decision was, she could not help feeling somewhat crestfallen as the cool wind started to blow

Luther noticed her expression He sighed and corieve too much Your friend… at least your friend did not die at the hands of a duoluozhong…”

After experiencing that near death encounter together, their relationship had unwittingly grown closer Lin Sanjiu could feel the kindness in Luther’s words and s, “Can you stop calling ht, I haven’t had the time to introduce myself just now My name is Lin Sanjiu Well, I just… just evolved recently”

“So your name is derived from the phrase, ‘Mortal affairs are discussed merely over three cups of wine’?[1]” Luther immediately pouted “My name can’t compete with yours I will call you Xiao Jiu… And, why did you tie a towel around your neck?”

“Oh!” His words reminded Lin Sanjiu She quickly took off the wet and warled wound Luther suddenly drew a breath when he saw it Marcie raised both her eyebrows, looking puzzledly at Lin Sanjiu Lin Sanjiu opened a bottle of clean water and started cleaning her wound As she did this, she recounted the incident with Ren Nan Largely due to the fact that the two of the that previous critical juncture, Lin Sanjiu was very willing to trust them

Unlike Luther who listened dumbfoundedly, Marcie listened silently with knotted brows Suddenly, she pointed to the bottle of clean water — Lin Sanjiu paused for a moment — and Marcie offered, ”Let me do it I have studied medical science for a few years” After that, she took a roll of bandage and some antibiotics from her waist pouch

[Can a personality that had achieved a corporeal body actually have a set of life experience?] Lin Sanjiu shot Luther a look of confusion but did not say anything She just lifted her head and sed the two antibiotics obediently With Marcie’s skills, it did not take long for the wound on her neck to be properly dressed and bandaged

After listening to her story, Luther was still a little engrossed in the details “I have heard about such cannibalistic abilities… but Marcie and I have never ht that it was just an urban legend I can’t believe it was actually real That Ren Nan probably only evolved recently too, that’s why you iven more time, who knoerful he would have become!”

“Luckily, we didn’t meet such a person,” Marcie coht with theh Marcie was unable to engage in real combat, she was nimble, cool-headed and more experienced(?); she felt more reliable than Luther

“Can you explain to ? How many worlds are there?” Lin Sanjiu faced Marcie and could not help asking

“Why are you asking Marcie and notfrom Luther As if she did not hear her question, Marcie replied with another question instead, “Have you heard about the theory of parallel dimensions before?”

Lin Sanjiu answered with an “Ah!” before continuing: “Apart from our universe, there is an infinite number of parallel universe Every le choice that a person made, will create a split, no, will create a new parallel universe?”

She had read many science fiction novels before, so she knew of such a thing

Marcie nodded with a cal, “I will just state first that this is just a conjecture Soree with it I am not sure how many people there are in your world In our world, we had a population of 43 billion Every single decision that a person makes in his or her lifetime will create a parallel dimension If you decided to take the path to the left today, then the alternate diht… and within that new dimension, everyone will continuously make decisions and create other new dimensions If we take this into account, who kno inally, we all lived our lives peacefully in our own dimensions Within our lifetime, there was no way that ould ever meet someone from another dimension But for so… just like this one”

While Marcie paused for a while, Lin Sanjiu quickly interjected and asked, “Did they all turned out like this? Do they all have high-temperature climates?”

Luther replied to her with a rare look of seriousness, “Not necessarily For our world, half the population died due to an epidemic which was caused by a virus outbreak from a laboratory facility” It suddenly occurred to Lin Sanjiu that he had probably lost his family and friends in his world
