Chapter 212: According to the Diary Card’s Hint…

Translator: Pluto Editor: Vermillion

The moment that the information recorded on Lin Sanjiu's Diary Card integrated into her consciousness, Mrs. Manas understood all its content as she was part of Lin Sanjiu's [School of Higher Consciousness]. Before Mrs. Manas could ask Lin Sanjiu what was wrong, she immediately changed her words and uttered, "Hurry! Go back!"

Even without Mrs. Manas urging her, Lin Sanjiu had already broken a window along the corridor and got out of the building. She flew upward as fast as she could but she was still too late. When she reached the "15th" floor upstairs, the siblings standing at the entrance of the stairways had disappeared.

"Damn it!" Lin Sanjiu cursed in her mind. She drifted hopelessly around the corridor a few rounds, but as expected, she couldn't find a single trace of the siblings.

"This is weird. I rushed up as soon as I read that Diary Card. That took less than a minute…" Lin Sanjiu was pissed, "How can that thing act so fast? It's as if it can predict my actions!"

Feeling furious and disgruntled, she couldn't help remembering what she read on her Diary Card.

The card didn't show much. Nothing unusual happened in the first two and a half hours recorded. However, a little more than 30 minutes after she and Reno 1 left the apartment unit, things started to change...

1:43 pm, Lin Sanjiu and Reno 1 opened the door of apartment 1520 and stepped into the corridor.

1:44 pm, Lin Sanjiu and Reno 1 took the bend around the corridor.

1:45 pm, the two people left the recording range of this Diary Card.

1:56 pm, the door of apartment 1520 opened. Reno 2 peeked out and yelled, "Lin Sanjiu, where are you?"

1:57 pm, Reno 2 walked out of apartment 1520 and stepped into the corridor. He looked around.

2:01 pm, there was a 'ding' sound from the elevator.

2:03 pm, Reno 2 seemed to be talking to someone. Reno 2 was at the edge of the recording, so the conversation was not recorded.

2:07 pm, Reno 2's voice is now in the recording range, he said, "Wait for me, I will come back. Don't go anywhere else."

2:08 pm, Reno 2 appeared at the bend of the corridor and rushed into apartment 1520.

2:08 pm, a 'head' peeked out from the bend of the corridor. It was a brain with half a skull.

2:08 pm, the brain quickly hid again.

2:09 pm, Reno 2 ran out from apartment 1520. There are a few black security alarm devices in his hand. He ran past the bend of the corridor and said, "Let's go!"

2:10 pm, the sound of footsteps fades and exceeds the recording range.

2:23 pm, this Diary Card was retrieved.

Lin Sanjiu was the only one who was a 'brain-with-half-skull'. When Reno 2 was with the said 'brain with half skull', Lin Sanjiu was with Reno 1 and had just met Rena. From this recorded events, things became clear. The Reno who the fake Lin Sanjiu successfully tricked, or found worthwhile tricking, was definitely the real Reno. Lin Sanjiu realized that if Reno 2 is the genuine Reno, that would mean that Rena was currently unwary of the creature by her side that was non-human!

Perhaps, the thing that was pretending to be Lin Sanjiu was that fake Rena.

Right now, both siblings were alone with one of those non-human things. The worst thing about this was that they both probably wouldn't suspect the other party next to them due to Lin Sanjiu's previous actions. With her around, Reno 1 (fake) told Rena that they fought off a spirit that looked like Rena. That was certainly convincing. Meanwhile, the real Reno, who had personally seen Lin Sanjiu saving his life, definitely trusted her fully and wouldn't think more about it. Thinking about this, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help feeling anxious and guilty even though she knew that it wasn't her fault.

Lin Sanjiu could not figure out how the two things could act faster than her. It shouldn't take her more than two to three minutes to reach this current floor and she took less than ten seconds to react after reading her Diary card.

"How can they disappear so quickly?" Lin Sanjiu mumbled to herself, as she flew into the stairways trying to look for the siblings. Unfortunately, when she went up another floor, it was quiet, she didn't hear anyone. "Noise reverbera t es through stairways. I should hear a footstep even if they are two floors away. If they really left, I should be able to hear… ah!"

She chided herself for her stupidity and rushed to the elevator. "If I don't see them in the stairway, they must have taken the elevator!"

Without any hesitation, she flew out of a window and flew up to the 26th floor. When she saw the bright red '26' on the wall in the corridor, Lin Sanjiu smashed the glass window. Broken bits of glass fell to the floor like ice, creating a loud racket.

"Who's that?" a teenage girl called out suddenly; she sounded alarmed. A pair of eyes, hidden under the fringe of a pink wig, appeared at the end of the corridor. Rena spotted Lin Sanjiu and gave a sigh of relief before walking out. There were streaks of dirt on her white socks.

"I'm really angry now!" Rena was so furious that her lips were turning white, and her eyes glowered. Then, she prattled like a machine gun, "Do you know there is some weird-ass sh*t going on here? Can you stop flying away like that?! You're an adult so why are you so insensible?! We came up here to look for you. Then, I lost my brother!"

"Hey, I came up here to save you." Lin Sanjiu literally felt an unspeakable bitterness. After the young girl berated her angrily, Lin Sanjiu really didn't care to waste any more time. She quickly thought about what she wanted to say and explained the situation in a few curt sentences.

This wasn't merely to defend her actions but Lin Sanjiu felt that she had to let Rena understand the entire situation. It was hard for her to find the real Rena, and as much as possible, Lin Sanjiu wanted to avoid the situation where things might get even more confusing.

After reading what Lin Sanjiu wrote, Rena quickly lowered her voice, "You mean that person beside me was an imposter?"

It wasn't easy for Lin Sanjiu to explain everything, even if she had her mouth. Furthermore, there were still many unanswered questions. However, she more or less managed to summarize the important points.

Finally, Rena nodded, "Okay, I got it. If that is the case, we must not lose sight of each other from now. Let's go look for my brother."

As soon as Rena said that, they heard a 'ding' from the elevator.
