When the explosion erupted from behind her, Lin Sanjiu had no choice but to spread her skeletal wings against the wind. A strong gust of wind swept through the shop in an instant. Countless barbecue plates flew into the air and shattered into pieces. She flapped her skeletal wings frantically and with great difficulty, she managed to block the rain of glass shards that came from behind her.
Lin Sanjiu felt as if she was standing in the middle of a tornado. Even with the protection of her skeletal wings, Lin Sanjiu still suffered many deep scratches on her body.
Lin Sanjiu retracted her wings and slowly stood up from the ground. The lady boss had already hidden behind the cashier counter, only showing her eyes. Lin Sanjiu stared fixedly at the lady boss. For a moment, she didn't know how to turn around.
"Are you the person who asked about me just now?"
A feminine voice that Lin Sanjiu had not heard for a long time rang out softly from behind her.
Lin Sanjiu did not make a sound, nor did she move. In fact, her throat was tight and her heart was pounding. It was difficult for her to make any sound. All the mental preparations she had made previously suddenly seemed so useless.
She didn't hear any footsteps, only a creak, creak. It sounded strange yet familiar, and it came from the door.
"I don't think I know someone like you …" This time, the voice that could be said to be friendly sounded from behind her, "… Turn around."
Even though every word sounded friendly, for some reason, there was an undeniable gloominess in it.
"If it weren't for that incident, I wouldn't be in such a passive position." Lin Sanjiu cursed inwardly. Finally, she turned around slowly.
For such a long time, Puppeteer, who had been following her like a shadow, was now standing under the sunlight. He looked very relaxed and seemed to be at ease.
He was still wearing a pair of black leather pants and a pair of tall boots. The only difference was that the huge ornament on his back was gone. His upper body was thin and pale, and a thick black leather belt was wrapped around his neck several times. Lin Sanjiu couldn't see his facial expression clearly because the sun was shining brightly outside the door. She could only see the glittering red gold powder at the corner of his eyes and his lips in the shadows.
She looked behind him from the corner of her eyes. Lin Sanjiu immediately understood.
It was a man wearing a red hat who claimed to be a ticket seller. He was standing behind Puppeteer, looking up at her from under the hat. The lifeless expression on his face had disappeared. His long lips were curled upward, revealing a seemingly satisfied smile.
"You …" Puppeteer suddenly narrowed his eyes. Apparently, he found Lin Sanjiu's appearance very familiar. However, she had changed too much, so he couldn't quite put his finger on her.
Exhaling, Lin Sanjiu's gaze swept past the man with the red hat. There were two other people, a man and a woman, who she had never seen before. Needless to say, they were also puppets. She took half a step back and stared at Puppeteer. She smiled nervously and said, "Don't you remember me? I'm Lin Sanjiu. "
Puppeteer was slightly taken aback when he heard that. Lin Sanjiu didn't know if it was because of surprise or something else. After a few seconds, he chuckled, "Oh, it's you. I really didn't recognize you. "
"Yes, it's me." Lin Sanjiu calculated the time in her mind and gritted her teeth. "Let me ask you, where did you take my friend?"
When Puppeteer lowered his chin and looked at her, his face looked even sharper and thinner. A lock of wet black hair slid down his forehead. He said in a low voice, "I hope you look more pleasing to the eye after you turn into a puppet."
Before his voice faded away, Lin Sanjiu felt alarmed. She did a backflip and extended her skeletal wings in front of her. Before she could land on the ground, a few wisps of smoke rose from her white bones without warning. A few wisps of smoke suddenly rose from her white bones without any warning. Following a bone-piercing pain, she lowered her eyes and found that there were already a few small eyes on the surface of the bones under the light smoke.
Puppeteer's hands were in a pair of black leather gloves that extended past his elbows. From the beginning to the end, he held the gloves firmly in front of him without moving.
Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to stand in the open space anymore. She quickly crouched beside the cashier's counter. Seeing that Lin Sanjiu had hidden herself from view, the female puppet at the entrance withdrew his hands expressionlessly.
Seizing the opportunity, Lin Sanjiu waved her hand and summoned her [Tape Recorder]. When Xueqin's voice rang out, the female barbeque shop owner also spoke. She said something like "You broke the light", so Lin Sanjiu couldn't hear what the tape was saying.
"Shut up!" Lin Sanjiu turned around and shouted at Xueqin, but it was too late when she focused her attention. Xueqin spoke quickly and quickly, so Lin Sanjiu could only catch the end of her sentence, "... ability."
"What kind of ability is that?"
The moment Lin Sanjiu yelled in her mind, the Pygmalion Choker under her bandage started to heat up. No matter what Xueqin said, the ability had already been activated.
However, Lin Sanjiu had no idea what she could do. It was too late for her to rewind the tape and listen to the recording again. The man in the red hat had already leaped into the air, casting a shadow over the cashier's counter.
"Motherf * cker!"
Lin Sanjiu cursed in her heart. She folded her wings and crouched down. She leaped over a nearby table and dodged the attack of the man in the red hat. Puppeteer had three puppets with him now, and judging from their appearances, they were all posthumans. Based on the information Lin Sanjiu had gathered, each of them retained their main combat abilities and combat awareness when they were alive. Therefore, before she had a better understanding of their abilities, she didn't dare to act rashly.
Another reason why Lin Sanjiu felt like her hands were tied was that Puppeteer had been standing motionlessly in the middle of the shop, watching the fight between the three puppets.
Lin Sanjiu had already activated her hypersensory state. Before she landed on the ground, she glanced at the entrance of the shop. Then, an idea came to her mind and she immediately crouched down. Almost at the same time, three to five small eyes appeared on the wall behind her. The positions of the eyes corresponded to her heart. A few beams of light shone through the small eyes. It turned out that they had pierced through the wall.
The female puppet should have a long-range shooting ability similar to Chen Xiaoyuan's. However, the tricky thing was that she didn't need to shoot anything at all. Take the previous attack for example. If Lin Sanjiu didn't see what she was doing, she wouldn't have noticed anything unusual.
The man in the red hat also seized the opportunity to pounce on Lin Sanjiu in the blink of an eye. Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. She kicked a table and flew toward him. While the man in the red hat was blocked by the table, Lin Sanjiu sprinted toward the door at full speed. She pressed her [Mosaic Censorship] on both of her hands on the last male puppet who was blocking the door.
"Are you trying to escape?" Puppeteer said softly behind her. From his tone, it seemed that he found the situation quite interesting.
"Swamp!"
The burly male puppet suddenly roared. Before Lin Sanjiu could react, she couldn't move her arms and legs. Suddenly, she could not move her arms and legs. The air suddenly became viscous, and she felt as if she had fallen into a deep swamp. Every movement took all her strength, and her two outstretched hands could not touch the mannequin no matter how hard she tried.
The male puppet flashed a cruel smile at her and shouted again, "... Sink!"
Lin Sanjiu didn't even need to think to know what was going to happen next. Lin Sanjiu's face turned red, and her body started to sink. The air in her lungs was draining rapidly. Just as she was frantically trying to think of a way to deal with the situation, the male puppet suddenly let out an "Ah!" Lin Sanjiu's hypersensory picked up a few small eyes in the sticky layer of air above her head. The swamp suddenly loosened.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Lin Sanjiu's body reacted faster than her brain. She seized the opportunity to break free from the [Swamp] and dashed out of the "Pumpkin Route". It was only then that she realized how lucky she was. Apparently, the male and female puppets had attacked her one after the other. After the male puppet's [Swamp] took effect, the female puppet's shooting ability coincidentally pierced through his layer of air, giving Lin Sanjiu a chance to escape.
"It seems like Puppeteer can only issue a general command to his puppets. He can't control every detail of their movements. If that's the case, things will be much easier!"
Compared to the small and exquisite barbeque shop, "Pumpkin Route" was much easier.
When Lin Sanjiu heard the wind behind her, she calmly summoned her [Tornado Whip]. Unhurriedly, she summoned her [Tornado Whip] and without even turning her head, she unleashed her most powerful tornado to force Red Hat to retreat. Red Hat took a few steps back, but he was still caught by the tornado. The light on his hand struggled to withstand the violent wind.

"If you come into contact with this ability, you will die!"
Lin Sanjiu narrowed her eyes and looked at the red hat. She already had a rough idea of his ability. When she saw the other two puppets coming out of the shop, she immediately turned around and ran.
No matter what happened, the current situation was going according to Aker's plan. Even if it was just a test, Lin Sanjiu was determined to make Puppeteer stay!
"You sure are trying your best to escape, just like last time," Puppeteer's faint voice came from behind her. Puppeteer's voice came from behind her. "If I didn't see you running away, I wouldn't have recognized you." Puppeteer's voice was mocking Lin Sanjiu.
No matter how fast Lin Sanjiu ran, Puppeteer's voice followed her at a steady pace. He maintained the same distance from her.
Biting her lip tightly, Lin Sanjiu suppressed the anger that suddenly rose in her heart. She spun around abruptly. This time, she did a very different turn. With the help of her skeletal wings, she slid far away from Puppeteer, creating some distance between her and Puppeteer.
Puppeteer also stopped. He used his finger to push the wet hair on his forehead away. The red gold powder on his face slowly spread into a glowing arc.
Lin Sanjiu looked to the side to make sure that her preparations were still in place. She looked at the four people in front of her and smiled.
"It's a blessing to be able to escape," Lin Sanjiu's light amber eyes glowed under the sunlight. Then, she suddenly waved her hand and shouted, "Now!"
Puppeteer's face hardened. Before he could figure out who she was talking to, a man, whom Puppeteer had assumed to be an employee of the pocket dimension, suddenly stood up from behind a stall with a sign that said "Sketches, Oil Portraits, 30/60 Stamina Points". The man spun the drawing board in his hand, and a strong suction force pulled Puppeteer from the ground. In the blink of an eye, Puppeteer was pulled to the front of the drawing board.
The three puppets reacted quickly. They grabbed onto Puppeteer's legs one by one, and the last male puppet grabbed onto a lamppost by the side of the road. Only then did he manage to stabilize his momentum. However, even though he used his [Swamp], he still couldn't pull Puppeteer back. The three puppets were stuck in a stalemate in midair.
"Thank you, Xueqin!" Lin Sanjiu couldn't control the smile on her face. She couldn't stop herself from laughing. Then, she bent down and took a deep breath.
She recalled the series of events that had just happened and how she managed to pull Puppeteer to the ground so smoothly. At this moment, she finally understood what ability Xueqin had given her. The sentence that she didn't hear clearly must be "You have the ability to always be lucky."
"Hey, I say," Lin Sanjiu wiped her face. When she was a few steps away from Puppeteer, she stopped cautiously. His black, wet hair was now floating in midair, pointing in the direction of the drawing board. Even though Puppeteer's face was turned sideways, Lin Sanjiu could still see that his face was as red as a tomato. Obviously, he was so angry that he couldn't control himself.
"I don't know why, but every time you see me, you look terrible … This is what they call failing miserably at a simple task," Lin Sanjiu said with a smile. Lin Sanjiu smiled as she looked at Puppeteer calmly. Then, she looked at the artist. She cautiously asked the artist to take a few steps back so that Puppeteer couldn't reach him. However, if he did that, the suction force became even stronger. "Come on, tell me where Reno and Rena are. Then, I will consider not sucking you into the painting."
