Lin Sanjiu had a feeling that she wasn't the only one who had just recovered from the chaos.
After five long seconds of death and shrieks, the five surviving night-walkers looked as if their faces had been daubed with white paint. Even the petite woman lost her composure for the first time. Her golden hair was mottled with specks of blood, and some indescribably slippery lumps were sliding down her face.
From the look on her face, Lin Sanjiu knew very well that the only reason the five of them were able to survive was because Puppeteer was severely injured.
The corridor was littered with corpses. Their arms were pressed against their backs, and their heads were propped against the corner of the wall. All of them were soaked in a pool of blood. None of them were in one piece. Four of their companions were walking through the pool of blood. They were bending over and examining the corpses beside their feet. After a few steps, even their ankles were stained with blood.
Lin Sanjiu had to admit that the petite woman's reflexes were fast, and her combat power was outstanding. Even though she did not have the chance to give the order, she still managed to chop a few female Nightwalkers into pieces before Puppeteer could do so.
Most of them lost their lives in the chaos, even if they were just unlucky and Puppeteer just happened to walk past them.
For a few seconds, no one made a sound except for the footsteps of the puppets in the pool of blood.
Lin Sanjiu only took two steps forward when the black figure suddenly swayed. She stretched out her hand, but she quickly retracted it before she could touch the leather. "At least you know what's good for you," Puppeteer said as he supported himself. He glared at Lin Sanjiu from under the shadow of his black hair. Panting slightly, he turned his head away.
The weakness brought by his injuries seemed to have filled him with anger. If she had helped him just now, she might have become Puppeteer's punching bag.
"There are no more intact corpses," Puppeteer said as he stared at the corridor that looked like a slaughterhouse, "Come back."
The few puppets immediately straightened their bodies and obediently walked back to his side. Quietly, they knelt down and put their arms around each other, forming a 'chair' that was half the height of a person. Then, Puppeteer slowly leaned on it. Bohemia immediately lowered her eyes.
A "wu" sound slid out from the throat of a male survivor. He had survived the five seconds, but the moment he saw the chair, he lost control of himself. There was no telling who he was begging. "I … I want to go. Let me go!"
"Shut up!" The petite woman stopped Puppeteer from sobbing. She turned around and looked at Puppeteer.
Everyone could see that his injuries were acting up, and he was unable to move like before. Even though they did not know what other Special Items he had on him, compared to some inanimate objects, this person was the biggest threat.
"Why?" After thinking for a while, she abruptly turned to Lin Sanjiu and said earnestly, "I can tell that Bohemia is afraid of him … What about you? Why are you on Puppeteer's side? "
Lin Sanjiu was taken aback. Before she could think of an answer, the petite woman smiled again with a pale face, "You are not the kind of person who relies on powerful people. Otherwise, you wouldn't be standing on the opposite side."
Before Lin Sanjiu could say anything, Puppeteer spoke first.
"No one is interested in your answer," he said with a shaky voice. His gaze was so cold that it almost frostbitten Lin Sanjiu's skin. "If you dare to open your mouth, I will tear it apart."
Lin Sanjiu coughed and did not dare to answer his question directly. "Um … Should we think of a way to get out of here?"
She looked at the petite woman and asked, "You must have left a way for us to leave this place. Is it that red tube? Where is it? "
"You have no reason to help Puppeteer," the petite woman said.
"Come to our side … He can't move freely now. I promise you that you can leave this place alive with us. Bohemia, aren't you afraid? If you are, don't do anything. Just follow us. "
"The way you measure combat power …" Puppeteer suddenly spoke in a low voice. His words startled the people on the opposite side of him. "Is it based on the number of people? I have four mannequins, and you have five people on your side … So, you're under the impression that these two bags of flesh are the key to our plan? "
Bohemia, one of the Flesh Bags, stood quietly beside Puppeteer. She was as quiet as a tree. Another Flesh Bag, on the other hand, started to panic. "If you think that you can escape and lock Puppeteer in here, then you are wrong." Bohemia, one of the Flesh Bags, said, "If you think you can solve the problem by leaving Puppeteer here, then you are wrong."
Lin Sanjiu had no grudge against Nocturnal Wanderer, but many of her people had died. Lin Sanjiu really did not want to escalate the conflict.
"Don't you find it strange? Why did Puppeteer only appear on your ship when the Sea Conqueror is almost at its destination? Why did he choose to cause you trouble when you are injured? " Seeing that the other party did not respond, she continued, "That's because he wasn't on the Sea Conqueror. Someone infiltrated your organization. It was that person who took control of our ship and drove it into the Sea Conqueror. That's why he appeared here halfway. If you go to the dockyard now, you can still find our round spaceship. So, your real enemy is not Puppeteer, but the person out there with unknown motives and ulterior motives. "
Suddenly, Bohemia staggered as if she had lost her balance. She took a deep breath and pushed herself up with her hands on her knees.
Lin Sanjiu glanced at Bohemia and suppressed her doubts. Then, she looked at the petite woman and said, "Do you understand now? Tell us the way out, and I will do my best to ensure your safety. Otherwise, even if Puppeteer is injured, you don't think that you can … "
Before Bohemia could finish her sentence, the male posthuman who was begging to leave suddenly trembled. His eyes widened as if he had seen something shocking. Before she could turn her head to look, the evolved man was like a melted ice cream that could not hold on any longer. His shoulder tilted and he fell to the ground with a thud. The moment he fell to the ground, the other female posthuman fell to the ground as well. Behind the two of them were the expressionless faces of the two Nocturnal Wanderers.
The petite woman took a few steps back from her companion. Her face was pale and pale. "You … Why are you guys puppets? When? No, he didn't touch you. This … This is impossible … "
"I don't let them talk or show any expressions," Puppeteer suddenly laughed.
Suddenly, Puppeteer let out a low chuckle. His chilling voice was like a snake crawling up one's ankle. "But that doesn't mean my puppets can't do it. It's quite lively, isn't it? "
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help glaring at the two puppets for a while. She had seen the two puppets running to the other night rangers with pale faces, and the fear on their faces was no different from that of a living person. "Since when did Puppeteer's control over his puppets reach such a high level?" Lin Sanjiu thought to herself.
Having lost all her companions, the petite woman was on the verge of breaking down. She shouted in a trembling voice, "Wait! Don't kill me! I know how to get out! "
Puppeteer licked his lips slowly. The pink at the corner of his eyes was frighteningly red.
"Erm …" Lin Sanjiu took a step forward, afraid that Puppeteer would kill her. "I think …"
"Shut up," Puppeteer interrupted her in a low voice. He turned to look at the petite woman. After a few seconds, he snorted coldly, "Let's go."
Accompanied by the six puppets, they walked deeper into the corridor. Suddenly, Bohemia reached out and grabbed Lin Sanjiu's arm. Bohemia's fingertips were cold, and her voice was weak. She had lowered her voice so low that it was almost inaudible. However, Lin Sanjiu could still sense the fear and curiosity in her voice. "So … Why?"
It took Lin Sanjiu a few seconds to realize that Bohemia was probably asking her why she was friends with Puppeteer, if they could be considered as friends.
