Chapter 375: Robbing The Rich to Feed The Poor is The True Law of Nature
The extent of McDuck's wealth was perhaps too overwhelming for Lin Sanjiu, so she momentarily fcomot Duck's other role.
Lin Sanjiu started sputtering for air uncontrollably while her face turned red almost instantaneously. Instinctively, she grabbed her own neck with one hand. She tried her very best to breathe. Each time she heaved her chest, it took her an extraordinary amount of effort. However, the pitiful amount of oxygen she received was disappearing at an alarming rate.
Reactively, Lin Sanjiu sprinted some distance toward Scrooge McDuck. Just as the large white duck backed away from her in dismay, Lin Sanjiu finally realized that the air around was dispersing away as if dodging her. The sensation was not only strange but very difficult to describe or even prehend. Despite being the person experiencing this peculiar phenomenon, she took at least half a second to make sense of it.
Though it was only half a second, she found out then that she couldn't get any more oxygen from her surroundings. It was as if she had been suddenly tossed into the atmosphereless outer space. Lin Sanjiu gasped for air as desperately as she could, but she couldn't get any air into the airway, neither could she make any sound.
There was a sphere of air around her head. Even though there wasn't any kind of barrier, it created a sort of vacuum around her head. No matter what sort of maneuver Lin Sanjiu tried, the "vacuum helmet" remained firmly around her head, following her every movement. After that short sprint toward Scrooge McDuck, Lin Sanjiu, who was already oxygen-deprived, instantly felt light-headed.
Scrooge McDuck opened his mouth and looked like he was speaking. However, as there weren't any air molecules to transfer the sound waves to Lin Sanjiu's ears, she couldn't hear what he said. In fact, Lin Sanjiu could only hear the sound of her grinding teeth and her blood coursing through her body. There was just a death-like silence around her.
"Hey, don't just stand there and do nothing."
Just when Lin Sanjiu was supporting herself with her knees and trying to calm her racing heart, a head peeked from a dilapidated house behind her, "What are you doing? He is just there. Just whack him!"
Snow White, with her full head of black hair and her fair elfin face was yelling at Lin Sanjiu.
"Whack me?" Scrooge McDuck guffawed and patted his tummy, hidden under his black frock coat. "I think she can't even defend herself right now… Besides, as the president, I have already established a new law: all air molecules must immediately move away from the player's head and this must be maintained. To pensate all affected air molecules for this relocation, each unit of air would be given the incredible amount of 25 Stamina Points… Right now, your little helper's life is on countdown."
Apparently, Snow White did not understand Scrooge McDuck's words. She stared at the duck in a daze. Even though she wasn't sure how the situation reached the current circumstances, she knew that Lin Sanjiu was in quite a dire state. Snow White threw an idiotic glance at the tall woman in the middle of the battle. With quivering lips, she turned to her own father and suggested, "Father, why don't we run away first?"
Even though Lin Sanjiu could not hear their conversation, she could more or less understand the situation: this was definitely a new effect of Scrooge McDuck's ability.
Even if it wasn't difficult for posthumans to hold their breath for a few minutes, the "vacuum" effect occurred too suddenly so Lin Sanjiu didn't manage to save even the smallest bit of air in her lungs. She felt her blood rushing to her brain due to the oxygen deprivation. Biting her lips, Lin Sanjiu lowered her head and flashed a sinister grin despite her reddened face.
