The moment when the flesh and skin exploded, it was so short that they didn't have time to think. They didn't have the time to retreat, nor did they have the time to shield themselves from the explosion. Just as Bohemia thought, "Ah, it's that explosive Piccolo ability!", the dismembered body parts and skin had already enveloped them in a fine mist of rain.
With a "hua" sound, an unknown amount of blood, broken bones, and minced meat rained down on the road like a torrential rain.
Bohemia and the cat doctor stood in the middle of the bloody mess, dumbfounded.
"What happened just now?"
"Puppeteer is dead, and Lin Sanjiu — the Lin Sanjiu who has been trying to hold on to every single one of her friends — blew up his corpse with her own hands?
"Is she really crazy? Is there no hope for her?"
Bohemia raised her head in a daze. She couldn't resist the urge to look at Lin Sanjiu's face. To her surprise, when she raised her head, her eyes met with Lin Sanjiu's. Lin Sanjiu was still sitting beside the mutilated corpse. Even though her face was splashed with blood, she didn't move an inch. In the dim light, Lin Sanjiu looked like a dark shadow with her body drenched in blood. Only her amber eyes, which were staring at Bohemia and the cat doctor, shone brightly in the dark.
The hair on the back of Bohemia's neck suddenly stood up.
"Why did you blow him up?"
As a clean animal, the cat doctor was the most shocked and agitated one. He couldn't even speak properly. His fur was standing on end, and his legs were rooted to the ground. It was as if he was afraid that the minced meat would flow into his eyes and mouth if he moved. "I — God, Bohemia, help me wipe it off!"
"Ah? Oh, "Bohemia was immediately distracted. She stretched out her hand to ask Lin Sanjiu for a towel out of habit. Before she could open her mouth, her eyes fell on her wrist, and she froze.
It was true that they were drenched in a fine mist of flesh and blood. However, even though she and the cat doctor were standing in the middle of the bloody mess, their bodies were dry and clean. Not a single speck of blood was on them.
After the panic subsided, the cat doctor reacted quickly.
"Eh?" It spat out a word in a low voice. "What's going on —"
"Shh." A voice that sounded like the wind in the distant night sounded right next to their ears.
The man and the cat suddenly fell silent.
Lin Sanjiu did not even open her mouth. She was still staring at them with her bright eyes.
For a moment, Bohemia thought that the world was haunted. Suddenly, she realized who the voice belonged to. "Descartes!"
"Hmm?" Lin Sanjiu frowned and tilted her head. She seemed a little puzzled. "Why did you call it?"
"Didn't I just shush you guys?"
The chaotic voice buzzed and hit their nerves, making them feel that it was angry. "Stop talking, don't attract her attention!"
Hearing this, Bohemia blinked her eyes hard. At this moment, the dim road under her feet, the mutilated bodies not far away, the dim moonlight, and the swaying weeds around her … At first glance, they seemed to be the same as before. However, if her gaze lingered on certain things for a long time, she would notice that there would be tiny ripples flashing on the surface of those things.
She was very familiar with this kind of ripple. Not long ago, she was almost dissociated by it.
However, the "membrane" that formed was very small. It was just enough to envelop the man and the cat, separating Lin Sanjiu from the corpses, flesh and blood outside. The ripples on the scenery were not frequent or intense. It was as if the Descartes didn't want to ripple, but it still couldn't help but shudder occasionally.
It was obvious that the Chaos had covered the environment around them with a layer of "membrane". Needless to say, this Cartesian goblin's reaction was extremely fast. Taking advantage of the moment of the explosion, it turned around and pounced on the human and the cat, "wrapping" them from head to toe before the rain of flesh and blood could reach them.
"What is it trying to do?"
It didn't look like it wanted to attack them. In fact, it didn't have the ability to do so.
Bohemia had been wrapping the Chaos with her Higher Consciousness. It was only at the moment when the corpse exploded that she subconsciously loosened the shackles on it. However, her Higher Consciousness was still "attached" to the Chaos. If necessary, she could regain the upper hand with just a thought from Bohemia.
"Did you separate the flesh and blood for us?" Bohemia secretly waved her finger at the cat doctor from under her long sleeves. Lin Sanjiu wasn't sure if the cat understood what she meant. Then, she wrapped her Higher Consciousness around her and transmitted her voice to the front, "Why did you do that?"
However, this time, before the Descartes could answer, Lin Sanjiu slowly stood up from the darkness.
"Why are you guys still standing there?" She looked around and stepped over the corpses on the ground. It was as if she had forgotten who was on the ground and how much she had suffered. "Why did you summon that pocket dimension?"
Bohemia exchanged a quick glance with the cat doctor.
"Hey, I saved you this time. You should thank me, right?"
Seeing that Lin Sanjiu stood up, the Descartes seemed a little nervous. He quickly used his voice to knock on Bohemia and the cat doctor's mind, "After we get out of here, you guys will let me go and mind our own business. What do you think?"
"What … What do you mean? Make yourself clear! " Bohemia's heart was in her throat as she stared straight ahead. As the chaotic mass had taken the form of an object, it looked like she was staring at Lin Sanjiu without blinking.
The cat doctor couldn't hear Bohemia's voice, but it was obvious that he had the same question. He paced back and forth anxiously.
"Bohemia? Why are you in a daze? " Lin Sanjiu was even more puzzled. She took a step forward. Her boots stepped on the blood and mud on the ground, making a soft "Gurgle" sound. It was hard to imagine that the pile of flesh under her feet belonged to the person whose body temperature she had tested just now.
"I … I'm fine …"
"Listen, I've helped you block the first wave of spores. At least you won't be infected now," the Descartes said hurriedly. If he was a human, he would have swallowed his own tongue, "Why are you wasting your breath on this servant? Let's run. What if she brings a second corpse full of spores and explodes it at you again? I might not be able to block all of them. I've never done such a lowly job before."
"What?"
Bohemia was so shocked that she couldn't think straight. She looked past the Descartes and stared straight at Lin Sanjiu. The latter was getting closer and closer to her. Her messy hair floated in the dim moonlight. The bandage around her neck was old and yellowed. Her combat pants rustled as she walked. That's right. This was indeed the Lin Sanjiu who had spent half the world with her. But —
"Servant?"
"What are you confused about?" The Descartes sounded even more confused than Lin Sanjiu.
"Wait, wait, wait —"
Bohemia's head was buzzing, and she desperately needed a moment of silence to sort out the situation she was in. However, Lin Sanjiu didn't give her the chance to take a breather. She took another step forward and arrived in front of Bohemia. Due to the backlight, Lin Sanjiu had turned into a tall black shadow.
The black shadow lowered its head slowly toward Bohemia.
The Descartes let out a low, trembling syllable because the tip of the black shadow's nose was about to touch the "membrane" he had formed.
Bohemia felt as if she was trapped in a nightmare that she couldn't wake up from. Her body stiffened as she stared at the person shrouded in darkness. She stood rooted to the ground, unable to move.
"This is too much!" The cat doctor suddenly called out, waking her up. "I'm covered in dirt. Bohemia, come with me to the hotel to get a towel. Help me wipe my back."
As if she had just woken up from a dream, Bohemia staggered a few steps backward. As she moved, the "membrane" formed by the Descartes also moved away from Lin Sanjiu. The black shadow let out a long sigh of relief.
However, she still couldn't pull her gaze away from Lin Sanjiu's eyes.
There seemed to be a kind of exuberant, intense, and joyful energy burning in those amber pupils. Anyone who glanced at those pupils would feel an uncontrollable thrill from the depths of their soul.
"What … What is this feeling? It's scary, but it's also exciting … "
"We … we're all dirty. I'll go and clean the cat doctor up," Bohemia said. She almost suspected that she was losing her mind. Her breathing was as messy as her words. "Wait for a moment. We'll be back soon."
Lin Sanjiu stared at Bohemia without saying a word. She didn't move an inch even after Bohemia turned around and ran away.
Bohemia could feel that the pair of eyes were still burning her back. When she picked up the cat doctor, the cat's voice became a little uncontrollably high-pitched, "Lil Jiu … What's going on?"
"Darth said that those who are infected by the invader will become the servants of those meat pillars —"
Bohemia wasn't sure if it was because the eyes had ignited some kind of emotion deep in her heart or because the current situation was so strange that it scared her. She hugged the cat doctor close to her chest and whispered to his pointy ears, "Lin Sanjiu has been infected since a long time ago? The so-called invader is this spores? "
"Of course."
The illusion formed by the Descartes' essence could follow their steps. When the illusion changed rapidly, it looked like a moving road surface. "It seems like she has just been infected by the spores. Her brain has just started to change. You guys just happened to see a servant in the transition period! The corpse is full of spores. I guess she brought the corpse here to infect you guys. "It sounded like it was taking pleasure in their misfortune.
Bohemia stopped in her tracks hurriedly, but she stopped herself from looking back. Lin Sanjiu had already been infected and had become the servants of those meat sprouts.
Lin Sanjiu had long been infected and had become the "servant" of those bean sprouts. In order to infect them, she purposely carried a corpse full of spores to them and blew up the corpse at close range. This method was exactly the same as that of the old lady who had exploded after her sudden death.
"So, is that corpse really Puppeteer? Would Puppeteer's body be filled with spores in such a short time after his death? "
"No, no. The more important thing now is … Lin Sanjiu was so close to the cat doctor just now. She should have noticed that Lin Sanjiu's body was dry, right? Neither she nor the cat doctor was infected by the spores.
