Lin Sanjiu realized that there were times when Puppeteer was not as smart as she was.
"Yes," she said, looking at the dark silhouette. "For you, you must have thought that I came in first."
Putting aside the word "subordinate", Lin Sanjiu wasn't surprised by Puppeteer's last sentence at all. She even thought that it was nonsense. If Puppeteer didn't think that she came in first, why would he come looking for her?
However, he didn't know that the information he received was a trap. He thought that he followed Lin Sanjiu into this place, but Lin Sanjiu came to save him after him.
'Right, there's no need for me to change my words after thinking about it. '
Just as Puppeteer touched the chain on the back of his hand, which seemed to be a storage device, he froze. He turned his head so slightly that it was as if it was his soul that moved instead of his body.
Lin Sanjiu sighed inwardly. "As expected, he doesn't understand.
"I didn't come in before you. I heard that you heard that I was here, so I came here …"
"You don't want to die, but that doesn't stop you from spouting nonsense." Puppeteer's pale fingers slid across the silver chain. For a moment, Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell which one was colder. "Don't you understand? You were tricked into coming in here, and that's why I followed you. "
"Yeah, that's the information you received, but you were the one who came in first," Lin Sanjiu said patiently.
Lin Sanjiu said patiently, "I don't know who you are, but when I was at the entrance of the Palace of Confusion, I sent you and Bohemia two paper cranes. At that time, both of the paper cranes were flying toward the Palace of Confusion, so when I sent the paper cranes, both of you were already here."
"Not bad," Lin Sanjiu praised herself inwardly.
As for who "your subordinate" was, Lin Sanjiu already had a guess in her mind. The person who used this method to bring them together might be Gong Daoyi.
Puppeteer was silent for two seconds. Slowly, he took out a handkerchief from the silver chain. He gripped it tightly in his hand as if it was Lin Sanjiu's windpipe.
"You were tricked into coming in here, and I followed you. Think about it carefully. Which one is more reliable, your brain or my tracking ability?" he said gloomily.
"But I still couldn't track Gong Daoyi," Lin Sanjiu thought to herself.
"If you replaced your brain with a piece of pork," Puppeteer's voice was soft and sinister. "If the tapeworm in your brain could think for you, I wouldn't have to suffer like this."
"Even if you scold me, it won't change the facts. Besides, how would I know that the instance dungeon gave me a paper crane? Maybe the instance isn't wrong, and the paper cranes were sent by your living subordinates, and you just forgot about them? "
Lin Sanjiu finally lost the sense of intimacy she felt earlier. She became a little angry and stubborn as she said, "The two paper cranes that I sent to you are flying towards the grand palace. It's true —"
The moment she stopped talking, she could tell that Puppeteer wanted to make a move, but he was out of stamina.
The soft cloth slipped from his palm, and he did not even have the strength to pick it up. Even though he was so weak, he still refused to lie on the ground like Lin Sanjiu. It was probably because of his pride that he was still holding on.
Lin Sanjiu quickly softened her tone and gave him a way out. "Well, humans aren't saints, so it's not strange for them to make mistakes. Besides, there must be a mastermind behind all of this …"
"Oh? Really? There's a mastermind behind all of this? " Puppeteer was surprised. "Your observation skills are too sharp. You realized it after you were tricked into coming in here? You didn't want to wait for another two years? "
"Anyway, you can't explain the paper cranes," Lin Sanjiu said.
"No, I can't explain why your existence is enough to refute the theory of evolution," Puppeteer said.
One of them was lying on the ground while the other was sitting on the ground. Apart from moving their mouths, neither of them could exert much strength. Puppeteer finally couldn't stand it anymore. He waved his hand cautiously between the two of them as if he was trying to wave off the invisible war of words. "Wait, wait a minute. The most important thing for both of you to do now is to recover your strength and get out of this palace as soon as possible …"
"What is this item?" Puppeteer stared at him and asked Lin Sanjiu, "Nonsense meter? Noise recorder? Did you inherit it? "
After getting rid of the influence of the pocket dimension, Puppeteer seemed to be even more difficult to get along with than before. Puppeteer did not seem to realize that he was being scolded. With his hands on his hips, he smiled and said proudly, "I'm a life coach. My job is to provide encouragement, encouragement, and life planning to those who are in trouble. My fee is very reasonable."
At that moment, Lin Sanjiu felt as if a thousand words were going to come out of Puppeteer's mouth at any moment. Perhaps it was because there were too many things that he could insult, he fell silent for a moment.
"I understand your doubts." Even though Puppeteer looked like a human now, he could always give off the feeling that he was not a human. "It's important to get to the bottom of this because we all want to find the mastermind. How about this? I have an idea. "
He said to Lin Sanjiu, "Send the paper cranes again. Let's see where they go."
Lin Sanjiu wondered how much debt he had given her … As she thought about it, she slowly got up from the ground. She took out two paper cranes and exchanged glances with Puppeteer. "Why don't we send them to you and Bohemia?"
Perhaps Lin Sanjiu's intention was too obvious this time, but Puppeteer's expression did not change. He did not answer her.
'If that's the case, he kept saying that he was tricked into coming here, but he did not say a word about whether Bohemia is with him or not. '
As soon as the thought appeared in her mind, Lin Sanjiu felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on her heart. Her internal organs constricted. She took a deep breath and raised her hand. The two paper cranes that had been sent to the recipient leaped into the wind.
All four pairs of eyes, including the artist who did not understand what was going on, looked up at the sky.
One of the paper cranes flapped its wings and flew toward Puppeteer. Half of Puppeteer's face was filled with anger, so much so that Lin Sanjiu suspected that he would tear the paper crane apart on the spot. However, right at that moment, both of the paper cranes stopped moving at the same time.
Then, they turned their heads and flew toward the other direction of the Grand Palace of Confusion, as if they were following the thread on Lin Sanjiu's waist. They quickly disappeared from Lin Sanjiu's sight.
"That's weird …" Puppeteer mumbled, "Where did they go? Don't these paper cranes only fly to the recipient? Are they affected by the Grand Palace of Confusion? That can't be right. The recipient is right here. This is too fast … "
Puppeteer looked down without saying a word. The shadows of his black eyelashes blended into the glossy glitter.
"If the paper cranes are not accurate, then you can't be blamed," Puppeteer turned to Lin Sanjiu and comforted her, "Who would have thought that the paper cranes in the Pocket Dimension would be so unreliable … Hey, what are you thinking? Why do you look like that? "
Lin Sanjiu wanted to look at Puppeteer, but she did not dare to do so.
She pressed her hands under her thighs to stop them from trembling.
"Why … Why did the paper crane that was sent to you fly straight towards you?" Lin Sanjiu lowered her head to look at the tiles on the floor. She could barely hold back the cold emotions that were surging in her body. "But the paper crane that was sent to Bohemia only flew in circles in the air at first? When we were in Lava … I thought you went to look for her … "
"She has always been with me," Puppeteer said calmly. "Until a few months ago, when the fifth segment of her life came to an end."
