The sky had already darkened. The last ray of warm light from the setting sun had faded and faded into the dark blue sky. As the sun set, thousands of glowing spots lit up the Free District. The posthumans all had their own Thaumaturgy, so the lights they lit up were all different. Some were like a dazzling galaxy, some were like dancing ladies in flames. When Lin Sanjiu looked up, the city ruins looked like a dream.
When Lin Sanjiu stopped in front of an inconspicuous residential building, she turned her head again and glanced at Soulsqn, who had been following her quietly.
Even though the human skin was still the same human skin, as time passed, Soulsqn's appearance had become more and more distant from the golden-haired young man, Walter. Soulsqn's peculiar and uncomfortable aura seemed to have seeped into the surface of the skin and gradually transformed the body. Lin Sanjiu couldn't really remember what Walter looked like before.
Honestly, Lin Sanjiu was very grateful for this.
"If you want to change into another human skin," she lowered her voice and tried not to let Bai Xiaoqiang, who was walking in front of her, hear her. "I still have a few empty human skins here. You can change into them now. After you enter the Alliance, you can't touch anyone."
After learning from Marlon's mistake, Lin Sanjiu was still a little worried about Soulsqn.
If Soulsqn insisted on changing into another body and used an illusion spell on a Growth-type, she would be a much bigger threat than Marlon. Lin Sanjiu might as well satisfy Soulsqn's wish now.
"You chopped off my leg, so I have to feed on a living person to regrow the corresponding body part," Soulsqn said with a smile. "Even though I can put on an empty human skin, it won't make any difference to the current body part."
"In that case, you can let AYU hug you for the rest of your life." Lin Sanjiu suddenly thought of something, "Oh, unless you meet my enemy."
As she walked, she said, "… He turned many living people into marionettes. If you meet him, I can give you one to wear. I don't know which one of you is more disgusting … "
Behind her, Soulsqn smacked her lips. Recently, she had become more and more like a human. However, this did not make her look any better. "I can wear them, but I can't suck them. It's not as convenient as an empty human skin. "
When Lin Sanjiu heard those words, the warm night breeze caressed her cheeks. Her hair rustled as it brushed past her ears. The climate of the Free Zone at night was very comfortable. It was like soaking in a hot spring.
However, Lin Sanjiu stopped in her tracks. She felt goosebumps on her back.
The building where the Progressor Alliance was hidden wasn't far away. The closer they got, the more it looked like it had been haphazardly built with bricks and planks, making one wonder why it hadn't collapsed yet. Bai Xiaoqiang was just a few steps in front of her. When he sensed that she had stopped, he stopped as well and turned his head back in confusion.
Ignoring him, Lin Sanjiu turned around and narrowed her eyes at Soulsqn. "How do you know that you can't consume those puppets?"
It smiled again and gave an expected answer. "I saw it."
Light footsteps came from behind, getting closer and closer.
Lin Sanjiu still did not turn around, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"You didn't ask."
"Miss Lin, I forgot to ask you. I forgot to ask you, who are these two friends of yours? "Bai Xiaoqiang's calm voice came from behind him.
Before Lin Sanjiu could respond, the skeletal wings on her back fluttered slightly. A few of her long bones spread out and blocked something with a clang. That thing rolled on the ground. Lin Sanjiu looked down and saw that it was a small round ball.
The moment Lin Sanjiu laid her eyes on it, her body moved as if it was a conditioned reflex before she could even process what was going on. She stomped on the ground. When she leaped high into the air, a thought flashed across her mind. That was the Ripple Sphere that she had seen many times at Kisaragi Station.
With a loud bang, a scorching wave of Qi suddenly exploded behind her. Only then did she remember something. He quickly tugged on the black leather rope in his hand. AYU, who was running frantically behind him, used the force to propel herself forward by a few dozen meters. However, the explosion was too close. The two souls were pushed by the violent shockwave and rolled forward for quite a distance before falling heavily to the ground.
Lin Sanjiu reacted quickly, so her injuries weren't that serious. However, the two Souls were different. They were just human skins. Now that they had suffered the full brunt of the blast, their skin was torn to shreds, revealing the dark red flesh underneath. If it wasn't for the fact that the black leather rope had also bound some of their skin, they wouldn't even have a human shape.
A thin and frail figure gradually emerged from the thick smoke. Bai Xiaoqiang slowly walked out from the ashes and sparks. He was a little surprised when he saw Lin Sanjiu and her companions. Compared to the puppets he had seen before, this one was simply too lively and lifelike.
"Huh?" He stared at the two Souls, "What are these things?"
Panting, Lin Sanjiu got up from the ground with a gloomy expression on her face. Behind the billowing smoke, blurry and expressionless white faces peeked out from the windows of the inexplicable residential building.
Lin Sanjiu felt a pang in her chest. When she spoke again, her voice was hoarse, "Where are Reno and Rena?"
Obviously, Puppeteer had taken over Progressor Alliance's rendezvous point at Seagral Square. The fact that Puppeteer knew the rendezvous point they had set and could even call out the word "Brain" … Either the two children had turned to Puppeteer, or something bad had happened to them.
Lin Sanjiu didn't know which she was more afraid of.
However, Bai Xiaoqiang's answer was very vague, "Father took them away."
"Is he addressing Puppeteer?" "Fortunately, the two children were still alive when they left." Just as this thought crossed Lin Sanjiu's mind, she saw Bai Xiaoqiang waving his hand behind him. As if she was in a nightmare, many silent faces appeared in the surrounding alleys and buildings. They stared at Lin Sanjiu in the dark as they slowly approached her.
If there were only two or three opponents, Lin Sanjiu was confident that she could put up a fight even if they still retained their evolved abilities. However, Puppeteer had no shortage of puppets.
With a quick glance, Lin Sanjiu estimated that there were at least a few dozen humanoid figures around her. If each of them threw a Ripple Ball, Lin Sanjiu would probably be blasted into pieces.
She made a prompt decision to take advantage of the fact that their encirclement had yet to close. She grabbed the Souls, turned around, and ran.
She heard footsteps behind her. They were different from a normal person's footsteps. Their footsteps seemed to always be at the same frequency. Every step they took was precisely timed. However, their speed wasn't slow at all. They quickly caught up to Lin Sanjiu.
"Why are you still standing there? Release your illusions!"
Lin Sanjiu's voice was laced with fire. She wished she could stop running and turn around to tear every single puppet behind her into pieces. However, her rationality told her that she couldn't afford to be slower. Her eyes were bloodshot from anger at her own incompetence, "I don't care if it's reality or illusion. Just hurry up!"
"Do you think I didn't try?" Soulsqn, who was bouncing on AYU's chest, screamed, "Turn around and look. Among all the puppets, only that Bai something guy has consciousness. Illusions don't work on something that doesn't have a mind!"
"Illusions don't work. You guys can't eat the puppets —" Lin Sanjiu panted as she ran. When she spoke again, her voice was filled with murderous intent. "Then, what's the point of me keeping you guys alive?"
Soulsqn seemed to have just realized that she couldn't do anything to the woman in front of her.
"Wait, wait, wait," When Soulsqn shouted, Lin Sanjiu had already lifted AYU to her chest. Lin Sanjiu's skeletal wings were raised high. If she swooped down, she could pierce countless holes through the two Souls. "There are other ways. AYU can release chemical hormones —"
Lin Sanjiu stared at Soulsqn with a pair of tiger-like eyes without any warmth. "They are puppets!"
"Yes, but their bodies are still biological and not plastic. As long as they are still —"
Lin Sanjiu didn't let Soulsqn finish her sentence. "Release!"
AYU immediately stopped and twisted her body. Her movement was so big that she tore off a large piece of human skin from the black leather rope. Lin Sanjiu looked back and saw AYU's lower jaw drop. Her lower jaw dropped almost to her sternum. Indistinctly, a tinge of pink flashed across her open mouth.
There was no gas. To the naked eye, the night air was no different from before. However, when Lin Sanjiu slowed down a few steps, she turned around. She saw a few puppets that were chasing after AYU. They were almost touching the corner of AYU's clothes when they suddenly fell to the ground.
As if there was an invisible net, the puppets that were running at high speed fell one after another. The puppets that had just caught up with Lin Sanjiu couldn't stop in time and tripped over their companions, causing them to roll all over the ground.
"Let's run. Our hormones are very precious. We don't have much. We won't be able to stop those at the back! " Soulsqn shouted again. This time, AYU took a step forward and pulled Lin Sanjiu, who was behind her.
With that, Lin Sanjiu was no longer in a critical situation. She turned her head and looked around. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. She shouted, "Over here!" Then, she turned in another direction and started running.
When another puppet finally pounced on Lin Sanjiu, Soulsqn could only watch as the three people in front of her disappeared into a diamond-shaped surface of Seagral Square. (To be continued.)
