Seeing that the other apocalyptic world was already in sight, the three of them sat down. Puppeteer leaned against a tree while Lin Sanjiu and Bohemia sat on the ground. The three of them watched the sun set in the west until it was nearing the horizon, painting half of the dark blue sky with streaks of orange and pink.
They were not in a hurry to cross the highway because Magus had told them that they were going to wait here for something. Moreover, even Puppeteer had no idea what kind of apocalyptic world was on the other side of the highway. While they were preparing Magus' "materials", they could observe the situation.
Without their puppets, Lin Sanjiu and Bohemia basically played the role of puppets. Following Magus' request, they found a way to make a pot out of an iron sheet and chopped a lot of tree branches to serve as firewood. Throughout the process, Puppeteer could only act as Magus' mouthpiece, telling them what to do next even if he was unwilling to do so.
"So, what is Magus' plan?" When the crooked iron sheet pot was finally hung on a tree branch, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help asking Bohemia in a low voice, "... Why does she need such a big pot at this time of the year? She won't be hungry. "
Lin Sanjiu had her own pot, but she couldn't take it out because she was trapped in the [Planar World]. When she had the time, she would have to study the two thin rings on her wrist.
Bohemia, who also had one of her storage items taken away, had no clothes to wear. She had no choice but to work in her underwear and shorts, "Magus! Don't you know? Don't you know? That's how she got her name … "
"Explain yourself."
"It's not like her parents named her Magus when she was born. Hey, go get some water, "Bohemia called out to Lin Sanjiu, acting like a hardworking maid,"... She is called Magus because she has witch-like abilities. "
"Witches?" Perhaps it was common to see such abilities on TV, but this was the first time Lin Sanjiu heard of such an ability in this apocalyptic world.
"I don't know exactly what kind of witch-like abilities they have. I just happened to hear of the most famous one. She was so respected in the past because of this ability … Because from a certain point of view, she can basically be considered a Special Item Creator. "
Lin Sanjiu did not rush her. Instead, she listened patiently.
"It's just like in the fairy tales. For example, if she wants someone to turn into a frog, she can use her ability to cook a potion that will turn the person into a frog. First, set up a pot, and then put in some strange things to cook … In fairy tales, witches put toad legs, spider silk, and so on. The ingredients she needs are even more bizarre. "
Lin Sanjiu understood a little, "From big to small?"
"That's right." Bohemia turned around and looked at the slope behind her and the highway that separated another apocalyptic world. Her eyes were filled with curiosity. "... I wonder what that world is like."
"Wait and see. Someone might pass by."
Lin Sanjiu remembered that Puppeteer seemed to have used some kind of light refraction method to hide their tracks, so they could observe them from the side. "We might be able to get some clues from them."
It was a good idea, but after they brought back the water to boil the fire, they sat under the moonlight and the cicadas chirping for half an hour, but they still did not see a single person on the highway.
The apocalyptic world on the other side of the highway was breathing quietly under the night sky, as if it was a sleeping giant beast. If Puppeteer didn't tell them, no one would have thought that there was another apocalyptic world just across the road.
"Have you collected all the other things Magus needs? Isn't it too early to boil the water? " Lin Sanjiu added water to the pot a few more times. When the water was almost dry, she couldn't help asking, "Is it … inconvenient for her to use her ability now that she doesn't have a physical body?"
Logically speaking, without a physical body, Magus shouldn't be able to use most of her abilities, but she was, after all, Magus.
Amidst the flickering light from the fire, Puppeteer, who was resting with his eyes closed, seemed to have regained some color. He didn't open his eyes when he heard Lin Sanjiu's question. After a moment of silence, he said, "She said … her Witch Ability is spiritual in nature. It has something to do with her high Potential Growth Value. "
It seemed that Magus had just told him that.
Perhaps, Puppeteer didn't realize that Magus's magic had begun to take effect unconsciously. She had both the power to intimidate others and the calmness to make them feel safe. If Puppeteer had to make an analogy that would make him angry, it would be like returning to his grandmother's house for a summer vacation.
"She already has two of the materials she needs." With his eyes still closed, Puppeteer repeated Magus's words in a flat voice, "... They are the shadow of the stars and the pot of hot water. After collecting the 'big to small', there is still one more thing … "
He paused for a moment, and it seemed that Magus had interrupted him. After a few seconds of silence, Puppeteer suddenly snorted. Apparently, he was replying to the voice in her mind, "She can do it. She is a suitable candidate."
"What? Who? "Lin Sanjiu raised her eyebrows. She had a hunch.
"Sit in it later," Puppeteer finally opened his eyes slightly. When he looked at her, there was a flash of pink at the corner of his eyes. "Soak yourself in the pot for a while."
"She doesn't need hot water, right?" "Why do I need to soak myself in water?" Bohemia and Lin Sanjiu asked at the same time.
"Even if she is willing to soak herself in water, no one will want to eat it." Puppeteer closed his eyes again. Since he had answered a few questions in a row, half of his face was filled with obvious irritation. "Magus said that she needs idiot soup stock."
Lin Sanjiu had a strong suspicion that those were Magus's exact words. But no matter what, since Magus did not object to it, Lin Sanjiu was afraid that she would have to sit in the pot and soak herself in the hot water.
"Magus's ability is really amazing. She can actually make something that can summon Gong Daoyi …" Lin Sanjiu thought to herself.
Amidst the crackling of the fire, the three of them fell into silence again. Lin Sanjiu glanced at the other end of the road and sighed softly. "It has been a day, but no one has passed by here. What is that world like? Even the cat doctor hasn't returned. "
When Puppeteer crossed the highway for the first time, the cat doctor and his two puppets followed him. However, due to the flood, Puppeteer was teleported away again. He did not even have the chance to bring them along with him. There was a high possibility that Meowie Hu did not know that he was in another apocalyptic world and was still wandering aimlessly.
At least, that was what Lin Sanjiu wanted to think.
"I've never seen such a world before."
In the silence of the night, Bohemia felt much more relaxed. Her long, golden-brown hair was glistening and curly, and it looked as if it was about to burst into flames under the light of the fire. Seeing that Puppeteer did not open his eyes, Bohemia used a twig to pierce a few cotton candy and roasted them over the fire. She got the bag of cotton candy from Exodus and kept it in her purse.
"There are two different apocalyptic worlds on the same planet." She carefully moved the cotton candy away from the fire. "How did this happen? If the world on the other side of the road is dangerous, what could stop them from crossing the boundary and going to the mushroom society? "
"No," Lin Sanjiu thought for a moment and answered, "Maybe that's why we haven't seen anyone on the other side."
"The Edible Truth Visa has not been popular for a long time," Puppeteer interrupted suddenly. Puppeteer cut in abruptly. "Probably less than twenty years ago. If the mushroom society is a recent development, then the apocalypse on this planet is probably growing like a scar. Perhaps, it has something to do with the flood. "
"Less than 20 years is not a long time?" Lin Sanjiu looked at Bohemia and saw that the latter was calm. It seemed that she, too, thought that an apocalyptic world of only 20 years was not a long time.
"When did the apocalypse start?" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help asking, but she did not expect an answer. "Compared to when it started, I'm more interested in when it will end."
"When the flood destroys all order, everything will end," Puppeteer said in a low voice.
For some reason, Lin Sanjiu shuddered when she heard that. He did not seem to notice that there was a hidden desire in his voice. It was a desire that the universe would return to its deathly stillness after he tore and burned the world, including himself.
Subconsciously, Lin Sanjiu gripped the grass so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
She had always thought that Puppeteer would seek revenge on Gong Daoyi. However, after two days, she was not sure whether this was a good idea or not. If Puppeteer still had some sort of balance in his mind, it seemed to have been swallowed up by the black vortex of his revenge.
He was now like a dangerous and unstable chemical ingredient.
Lin Sanjiu's words made Bohemia drop her cotton candy. She exchanged glances with Lin Sanjiu, and her face darkened. However, she did not forget to pick up the cotton candy. Just when she was about to wipe it, her expression suddenly changed. "Someone is coming!" she exclaimed.
Both of them were posthumans with outstanding abilities, so they had already noticed the presence of a person running at high speed from the other end of the road. Under the moonlight, he was as fast as a ghost. Obviously, he was a posthuman, a posthuman who was running for his life from his pursuers. His heavy panting caused the night breeze to tremble.
However, there was nothing behind him.
The man did not notice that there were two people on the hillside. He ran closer and closer until he ran past the three of them. Then, his figure grew smaller and smaller until he disappeared on the other side of the road. Puppeteer stood up and said, "Magus said that we already have him."
