Lin Sanjiu finally understood why Gong Daoyi wanted to leave.
Regardless of whether he or Puppeteer was stronger, if they were to fight, it would just be a battle of physical strength. To Gong Daoyi, this kind of thing, no matter who won or lost, who lived or died, was probably straightforward and meaningless.
However, things were different now.
She could even feel a piece of charcoal burning in her throat. It was so hot that she couldn't spit it out or swallow it. Every time the thought of whether she should tell him or not appeared in her mind, she would sink deeper into the abyss. The conflicting thoughts and thoughts tugged at her like an undercurrent, almost tearing her apart. Based on her limited understanding of Gong Daoyi, she knew he would appreciate the struggle in her heart.
"Where am I?"
Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat when she heard Yun's slightly hoarse voice. She quickly raised her head. For a split second, she thought she had heard a sleepy Yun. Due to the lack of light, Lin Sanjiu could only see a dark shadow that seemed to be made up of a few strokes of ink. It was so tall that she couldn't see his face clearly.
"Don't make me ask again."
This time, the dryness in his voice that had not been moisturized for a long time was clear. Lin Sanjiu could even hear the sound of his mouth opening and closing.
"Great, all he cares about now is where he is …" Lin Sanjiu heaved a sigh of relief. Puppeteer had been in a coma for so long that he didn't even know about the existence of the hospital. Even though she had left a pass and a simple note by his bedside, he would never know that Gong Daoyi, whom he had been waiting for, was right under his feet when he walked out of the hospital.
"It's a long story. Let's go in and talk about it."
She realized that her voice was a little shaky, so she quickly turned her back to Puppeteer and picked Crow Jiang up from the ground with her back facing Puppeteer.
She couldn't figure out why she hadn't noticed earlier that Crow Jiang's body had been replaced by another consciousness. After Gong Daoyi left, Raven Jiang's body gave off a different feeling. She couldn't quite put her finger on it. It was as if … as if something that had been frozen solid had been soaked in the warm water of a lake in the summer, and was slowly unraveling.
Gong Daoyi really hadn't lied to her.
Puppeteer stood where he was and watched as Lin Sanjiu approached him with the man on her shoulder. Lin Sanjiu had something on her mind, so she didn't dare to look at him. She pretended that she couldn't feel the weight of his gaze and walked past him. There was no change in the temperature, but she felt as if she was wading through a chilly river with ice on her bare feet. Only a wisp of his fragrance lingered in the air. It was like a hand covering her nose and mouth, making it hard for her to breathe.
"You're hiding something from me," he said quietly, as he passed her.
Lin Sanjiu shuddered. "Gong Daoyi is here." Before she could react, these five words had already slipped out of her mouth. All the struggle just now disappeared at this moment, and the following words naturally came out of her mouth — — "But, he left again."
Bohemia was already standing far away. As soon as she said that, the shadow visibly stiffened like a piece of air-dried plasticine.
Lin Sanjiu did not dare to turn her head to look.
She stopped walking with Crow Jiang in her arms. Her eyes were glued to the lines on the wall. Puppeteer was standing on her right side, and she felt that all her consciousness was focused on the right side of her body.
Puppeteer did not speak for a long time.
"When did he leave?" When he spoke again, his voice was very soft. Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell if he was angry or thinking.
Lin Sanjiu thought for a moment and answered, "He left for a while. It's been half a day."
Fortunately, Hu Changzai was not with Puppeteer.
"He remembers you, and he knows that you want revenge, so he wants to avoid you." She didn't know why Gong Daoyi did not want revenge, but she didn't think that he was afraid. "Also, from what I heard, he seems to be very confident that you won't be able to find him."
When Puppeteer heard the last sentence, he suddenly raised his chin and let out a low chuckle.
"I've tried."
Lin Sanjiu felt that it was better not to mention Crow Jiang at this moment, lest Puppeteer became angry and used Crow Jiang as the target of his anger. Therefore, she mustered her courage and said, "I wanted to make him stay, but I'm sorry, I couldn't."
As soon as the words left her mouth, she felt her feet leaving the wall. She had focused all her attention on her right side, but she failed to see the attack coming. While she was falling, Lin Sanjiu only had time to twist her body and throw Crow Jiang in front of her. Then, she felt her back hit the ground hard.
Fortunately, as a Growth-type, her body was much stronger than Crow Jiang's. Other than the pain and a little dizziness, she did not break any bones. Raven Jiang's unconscious body rolled away and stopped a few steps away. She tried to get up, but as soon as she sat up, her movement froze.
Puppeteer was standing beside her. His black leather boots wrapped tightly around his legs as he rose into the dark shadow he had formed.
"Who do you think I am?"
His gloomy voice was as heavy as a dark cloud, pressing down on Lin Sanjiu's nerves. "Do I need someone to make my target stay? You saw that he was confident that he wouldn't be found, so you believed him and thought that I couldn't find him? Do you really think that I need your help? Who do you think I am? "
Before Lin Sanjiu could reply, Puppeteer laughed. His voice was gentle. "As long as I want to find him, I can find him unless he's dead."
Lin Sanjiu bit her lip. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Indeed, from a certain point of view, she believed Gong Daoyi's words, "He will never be able to get so close to me in this lifetime." That meant that she didn't believe that Puppeteer had the ability to find Gong Daoyi. Therefore, it was understandable that she took the hit. However, when she thought about how Puppeteer had gotten so close to Gong Daoyi and missed him, she couldn't help feeling that she had to intervene.
Puppeteer seemed to have sensed something from Lin Sanjiu's expression. Suddenly, he let out a cold laugh.
"You seem to be hallucinating," he said as he slowly bent his waist toward Lin Sanjiu. The pitch-black leather made a slight creaking sound as it moved. "You don't play a part in this."
When his black hair fell from the air and touched the corner of his lips, Lin Sanjiu felt as if she could hear the crackling of electric sparks.
Right now, Puppeteer was truly an unstable and chaotic forcefield that could explode at any time. It was as if some kind of lightning was brewing inside of him. Lin Sanjiu could almost see that there was some kind of force inside of her that was trying its best to hold on to Puppeteer, forcing him to maintain a relatively stable façade. At this moment, even though she shouldn't say anything, she still blurted out, "It's not like that. When you were unconscious, it was Gong Daoyi who helped me."
Puppeteer suddenly calmed down and straightened his back.
"Oh?"
"No, I don't mean what you think I mean."
Lin Sanjiu was a little flustered. She realized that her words could easily be misunderstood as if she was indebted to Gong Daoyi. "What I wanted to say is that I noticed a characteristic of Gong Daoyi's behavior … He didn't deny it either. He always appears when a person is in a desperate situation, offering them help and hope. At the same time, he creates a … negative event for that person. "
She deliberately used words that were not loaded with emotion.
Puppeteer did not say anything. Perhaps he knew that she had not finished her sentence.
"Initially, I thought that he chose to leave before you woke up because he wanted to create a negative event for me because I would …" Lin Sanjiu thought for a moment. Based on her understanding of Puppeteer, she felt that it was better for her not to express her feelings. "But you're right. He only avoided you once. That doesn't mean anything. If you can make him worry about you, then you can find him … I shouldn't have. No, I've never doubted that. "
She just didn't think about it because her mind was captured by Puppeteer.
"In other words, I still have a negative event waiting for me." Fortunately, Puppeteer did not respond, which gave her a chance to continue. She did not mention the incident in Cloudwatch 9. Instead, she told him about her experience in Garden of Eden. She explained, "He's not a god. As long as he interfered with this event, he will definitely appear somewhere around me or leave some traces behind. I think this is the best chance for you to find him again."
However, this meant that Puppeteer could not be separated from her for the time being.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help feeling anxious. She raised her head and looked at Puppeteer's expression. She was not worried about her life. The fact that she could survive until now proved that Puppeteer was a man of his word. However, she still had Bohemia and Raven Jiang by her side. Puppeteer suddenly turned his head away. His black hair fell from behind his ears like a waterfall. Other than a flash of pale skin, she saw nothing.
"I don't need you to tell me what to do."
After a long while, the annoyance that he usually had when he talked to Lin Sanjiu surfaced in his voice. "Now, bring your junk and follow me. You have a lot of things to tell me."
Lin Sanjiu paused for half a second before she realized that he was referring to Raven Jiang. She couldn't believe that she had already settled Gong Daoyi's matter. She quickly got up, picked up Raven Jiang, and ran up the wall. Bohemia had already retreated into the ward, leaving only her head outside the door. When she climbed up the vertical wall, she looked like a meerkat that was stretching her neck to look into the distance. When she saw Lin Sanjiu and Puppeteer walking toward her, she shrunk her neck and quickly disappeared behind the wall.
Usually, Puppeteer would scold Lin Sanjiu, "Idiots always surround idiots." However, this time, he did not say anything. Instead of being scolded, Lin Sanjiu felt a little worried. She quickened her pace and caught up to Puppeteer. "How … How do you feel now?"
It wouldn't be surprising if she was thrown down the wall and bruised all over. However, Puppeteer had just recovered from his illness, so he didn't seem to want to do anything to her. He glanced at her over his shoulder and sneered, "Your mouth is like a latrine pit. Don't you know how to cover it?"
"Not bad. It's quite normal."
When the two of them entered the ward, Bohemia had already cleaned up the best spot. She only needed to bow at the door to be a qualified receptionist. Lin Sanjiu glanced around and found that the former guard was there as well. What was interesting was that when the former guard first laid his eyes on Puppeteer, Lin Sanjiu could tell that even though the former guard had always been an honest man, it was only now that she could see his true submissive attitude. It was as if he was kneeling on the ground. He was no longer subservient in exchange for some benefits. Instead, he had fully realized that there were some abysses that he could not afford to offend.
How many people in this world would hate Puppeteer for not dying along the way?
However, when Lin Sanjiu saw him slowly sitting down on the bed, her heart swelled. She wanted to take out all the delicious food in the card and let Bohemia eat as much as she wanted. She even wanted to run to the cashier's counter and draw the lucky wheel. It was as if she would definitely get an easy task if she drew the lucky wheel now.
"Turn your face away," Puppeteer did not even want to look at her, "Don't you know what you look like?"
He didn't.
Lin Sanjiu opened the card vault happily. She felt that she should have a thousand things to prepare. Just then, the former guard suddenly walked up to her and spoke with a stutter, "Um … Um … I have something to confess to you."
"What is it?"
"Raven Jiang gave me a Special Item and asked me to give it to you. He said that you and this … this lord can use it. He said that what he did for you wasn't a big help, so he wanted to give you something else. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a good match … Ah, don't ask me what he meant by not being a good match. He didn't tell me, so I don't know. " The former guard reluctantly took out an item from his pocket. He seemed a little reluctant to part with it, "I … I forgot about it. I only remembered it when I saw this lord."
