Chapter 87

~5 min read 907 words

As a master of pranking, she knew very well that making the enemy panic is the prerequisite for causing "critical" damage to the enemy.

The more panicked the enemy is, the less they can accept the truth once they know it.

Until they become hysterical and produce amusement.

Sparkle thought while analyzing.

Trying her best to stay calm.

But as time passed, she gradually became uneasy.

Could it be that there really isn't one?

This feeling of unease reached its peak after she searched the whole room and found a stack of her previous photos.

"When was this taken..."

"How come I didn't know!"

Sparkle stared blankly at the photo in front of her, her expression even somewhat dull.

The photo clearly showed all her movements over the past half month.

Naturally, it also included all her acting behaviors.

So...

Did she fall into the trap from the beginning?

The key is, when were these photos taken? She couldn't have had no awareness at all.

Once would be fine, but basically every action had one.

Sparkle was still thinking.

At this moment.

Lin Qi's voice rang out again.

"No need to guess, I'll tell you the answer directly."

"These photos were taken with the camera in your hand."

"It has no other function, it can just take pictures of future scenes."

Hearing this, Sparkle couldn't sit still anymore.

Her expression management gradually spiraled out of control.

What?

Take pictures of future scenes?

So all her actions had been anticipated long ago?

No wonder she fell into the trap.

Wait.

Sparkle was suddenly stunned; she remembered the photos she took of the whole room not long ago, almost every one of them had her in it!

Doesn't that mean the future her has been trapped here all along?

Finished!

This time it's really finished!

But just at this moment, Lin Qi's voice rang out again, dealing her a "super break damage."

"Forgot to tell you, the knob on the outermost ring of the camera represents one year per tick, and inside are months, days, and system hours. You can see how many ticks you moved, so you'll know how long you'll be trapped. Oh, by the way, you can only look forward up to sixty years. You can take a picture and see if you're still there in sixty years?"

Lin Qi's tone was still as mocking as ever.

It made Sparkle grit her teeth.

Sixty years?

That would be worse than killing her.

Although this room wasn't small, with a few hundred square meters total, and there was no shortage of daily necessities.

But who could stay in there for sixty years?

Six years wouldn't even work!

This isn't a question of food and drink, but staying here would really bore one to death!

But it must be said.

An Elation follower being bored to death is actually quite Elated.

Sparkle is indeed a prankster.

But she doesn't want to become the "amusement" herself.

Then.

The invincible Sparkle-sama once again unwillingly searched for mechanisms.

"Doctor, is this okay?"

Through monitoring, Xueyi could also see the scene in the mural space.

Sparkle's transition from ease at the beginning to anxiety now, she saw it all.

It can only be said that everything was within Lin Qi's calculations.

Of course.

Don't look at Sparkle seemingly entering the mural quickly and then being trapped.

Actually, Lin Qi had prepared other means.

Even if the mural didn't attract Sparkle, there would be other things to make her fall into the trap.

What was utilized was the psychology of "a thief never leaves empty-handed."

"Hmm... probably."

Lin Qi wasn't sure if she had any other ways.

But considering that Masked Fools are all quite special, Lin Qi prepared to add a few more layers of "seals."

That is, putting away the mural space, then putting it into a universal capsule storage box, and finally putting it into a dimensional pocket.

Three layers of space.

Even Lin Qi himself had never experienced this.

It can only be said that Sparkle deserved to be treated this way.

The ability to traverse space...

She might have it too.

Lin Qi thought to himself.

"Alright, wait until she becomes able to tell the truth, then consider how to talk to her."

Talk about what?

Naturally, the Path of Elation and the Aeon of Elation.

Before Sparkle's spirit was exhausted, Lin Qi didn't want to engage in a battle of wits with her.

That is, pondering the truth or falsehood of every sentence.

As for "locking" her up, is there any psychological burden...

None.

Lin Qi believed that if he released the news that the Masked Fool Sparkle had been captured, countless people would definitely applaud.

No way.

Who told this "brat" to play such nasty jokes?

If it weren't for the fact that many people couldn't do anything about her, she would have been caught and vented on by various means long ago.

Falling into Lin Qi's hands, it was actually her good luck.

"Doctor, but that Future Camera is still in her hands."

Xueyi suddenly thought of this problem.

"No matter, even if she tears the camera into dust, I can restore it." Lin Qi waved his hand indifferently.

Having the Time Cloth is just that willful.

Of course.

During the time Sparkle is locked up, Lin Qi himself cannot use the Future Camera.

But no matter.

There aren't many times when it's needed now.
