"The bouncing Little Sesame is already in Salvation of God?"
The dark-skinned man in front of her was the only posthuman she had seen in the past few months. "Could he be the bouncing Little Sesame?"
While Lin Sanjiu thought about it, she put away her [eBay] doubtfully. She was quite sure that she had never seen him before, let alone had anything to do with him — but why did he pursue her so persistently and in so many ways?
Sitting on Sanduria's palm, the man did not seem to notice Lin Sanjiu as he remained motionless. Seizing the opportunity, Lin Sanjiu crouched down and inched behind Jujube. Soon, she hid half of her body behind Jujube's bulging trapezius.
"You don't even have a decent warrior with you. How dare you call yourself a True God with such a small body?"
Sanduria sneered when she saw that Jujube kept his distance from her and refused to take the posthuman from her palm. She threw the man on her shoulder and said, "Look at me. How long has it been? I've already become a Giant God. Since you don't want to grow, why don't you become my nourishment and make me stronger? "
Sanduria did not move after she said that. Instead, she aimed her face at Jujube. The contrast between her face and her neck made her look like a basketball on Mount Fuji. At such a close distance, the visual impact was even stronger. Lin Sanjiu was at a loss as to what to do, but she couldn't avert her eyes.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't see Jujube's expression, but she could feel the skin and muscles under his feet tightening.
If Sanduria had used all kinds of means to provoke, coerce, and bribe Jujube, it seemed that he had to accept the posthuman no matter what...
Slowly, Lin Sanjiu crouched down, grabbed Jujube's collar, and slowly climbed down. Her movement was light, and Jujube did not notice her, so she climbed smoothly. It didn't take long for her to reach his waist. They were not far from the ground. If Lin Sanjiu jumped down, she would be able to roll to the ground. The place where she met Sanduria was a yellowed grassland. Occasionally, the wind would blow down the weeds, revealing a few dilapidated buildings and half of an abandoned train track. The track extended from Jujube's feet.
To avoid crashing into a broken wall, Lin Sanjiu crawled down Jujube's clothes. Just as she was about to loosen her grip, Sanduria burst into laughter, "That's right!"
Jujube accepted it!
When she looked up, she saw the dark-skinned man leaping from the opposite direction and landing on Jujube's shoulder. He looked down and scanned Jujube's back. His eyes met Lin Sanjiu's.
It was indeed a person that Lin Sanjiu had never seen before. However, she felt a strange sense of familiarity when she looked at his face.
This was not the first time she had seen the man's empty gaze, wooden face, and thick stitches on his throat.
Lin Sanjiu was shocked at first, but then she was overjoyed. As soon as the name "Puppeteer" popped into her mind, she felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over her head. In that short span of half a second, she had figured out all the strange and puzzling things that had plagued her for the past half a year.
In the next second, her fingers loosened, and she fell to the ground.
The dark-skinned man followed suit almost at the same time he saw Lin Sanjiu's face.
"Huh?" Jujube's bewildered voice came from the sky as soon as he sensed something was amiss. He took two heavy steps back while the other body stood up. The ground trembled as the two Gods moved. Lin Sanjiu, who had just landed, almost lost her footing.
When the dark-skinned man landed on the ground with a dull thud, Lin Sanjiu had already run far away from him. She could not figure out why a puppet of Puppeteer would appear in Sanduria's body, and what role did Sanduria play in this situation? However, she knew that if she wanted to solve her own problem, it would be best to avoid Sanduria.
"Where are you going?!" Jujube bellowed behind her.
Lin Sanjiu did not have the time to turn around to look. She felt the ground beneath her feet rumble, and she was almost thrown into the air. Then, Sanduria's deep voice boomed across the sky, "Don't move. Let them go!"
When Lin Sanjiu heard the voice, she couldn't help being stunned for a moment. She quickly glanced behind her. Under the thick white fog, she saw a human figure wrapped in a red robe. The figure was so tall that it reached the clouds. It was like a mountain that she couldn't see the end of as it stood on the grassland not far away. She couldn't see Jujube anymore. Sanduria must have blocked his way.
And that dark-skinned man, with the speed of the wind, was closely following behind her, refusing to let go. After Lin Sanjiu put some distance between herself and the two Gods, she scanned her surroundings. She saw a cluster of half-collapsed houses near a small forest in front of her. After years of exposure to the wind and sun, the houses were just empty shells. She sped up and dashed toward the cluster of houses.
It seemed to be the remnants of a village. She could still vaguely make out the shape of houses from the broken walls. She had no idea how long the houses had been destroyed. A brick road cut through the grayish-black ruins. Vines and weeds had eroded the entire road. Occasionally, there were a few beams and a few pieces of roof that were stacked on top of each other. They looked as if they could collapse at any moment.
Lin Sanjiu aimed at one of the collapsed ruins. Before the puppeteer could catch up to her, she ducked behind a corner and looked into the distance.
The grassland in the distance was empty.
Sanduria and Jujube had already disappeared. Perhaps, they had returned to the area above the white fog.
Lin Sanjiu took a few deep breaths and slowed down. Then, she stealthily stopped. She stood behind the corner of the ruins and waited for the puppeteer to catch up to her. Then, she summoned her [Tornado Whip]. The moment she held the whip in her hand, she scanned her surroundings instinctively.
Then, her gaze froze and slowly moved back.
Not far away from the ruins was a sparse, thin, and short forest. Through the gaps between the trees, Lin Sanjiu could see the yellow sand that came from afar. There was a thin branch of a tree right in front of her, and there was something that had turned grayish-yellow tied to it.
Lin Sanjiu's mouth was slightly agape as she stared at the small patch of grayish-yellow and the vague desert behind the forest. She stared at it for a long time, and her heart began to race. It seemed to be a towel.
"No way!
I can't be that unlucky! "
Lin Sanjiu cursed inwardly. Suddenly, she heard a very faint sound. Her body reacted faster than her mind. Lin Sanjiu twisted her body and leaped forward. Before she could turn her head to look, she heard a soft thud and a gust of wind hit her back.
Lin Sanjiu quickly turned her head and saw the dark-skinned male Marionette strolling out from behind the corner. She could no longer find the spot where she was standing. Weeds, broken bricks, and everything else seemed to have been torn apart. All that was left was a mass of tangled and blurry colors. There was no longer any shape. The scene was extremely strange. Everything between heaven and earth was still clear and distinct, except for this piece of land, which had been twisted into a ball of ambiguity.
Puppets made from living people could indeed retain the abilities they had when they were alive, but it was beyond Lin Sanjiu's imagination that even a posthuman with such great power would be turned into a walking corpse by Puppeteer. If she had dodged half a second later, her legs would have turned into a smear of flesh amidst the lumps of color.
The dark-skinned man's face was expressionless. He continued to walk toward Lin Sanjiu in a daze.
"Where's your master?" Lin Sanjiu sneered. Without waiting for him to respond, she swung her [Tornado Whip], and a violent whirlwind whipped at the marionette. She didn't expect her attack to be of much use, so she stomped on the ground and used the wind as a cover. At the same time, she activated [A Twinkle in the Sky] in her hand.
However, before she could get close to the black puppet, Lin Sanjiu suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body. She immediately stopped and leaped backward because the sound of the wind had disappeared.
A large cluster of tall colored blocks, blurry and indistinct, was spinning between heaven and earth. Even the whirlwind from earlier was caught up in it, turning into a mess of colors within the cluster of colors. The dark-skinned man raised his hand, and the mass of colors stopped spinning. It fell to the ground and scattered into a pile of debris. The whirlwind had long disappeared.
Lin Sanjiu exhaled. She could feel beads of sweat rolling down her back.
It was not difficult to deal with this puppet. She had at least a few ways to kill him, but she could not use any of them. If she remembered correctly, once the puppet was destroyed, Puppeteer would know where it was. Even if she ran away immediately, she would expose her location to the Puppeteer.
The best way to deal with it was to send it flying so that it would not attract the attention of the person behind it. However, this man puppet seemed to be able to turn everything around him into a mass of colors. It was too difficult to get close to him...
As Lin Sanjiu thought about it, she couldn't help but glance at the forest in the distance.
She suddenly understood what was going on. She scolded herself inwardly, "How could I be so stupid!"
"What do you want?" She shouted at the puppet, "Can you speak?"
Of course, the puppet could not. There was not a single ripple on his squarish face. His eyeballs did not even move once. After Lin Sanjiu's attack stopped him, he took another step forward and walked straight toward her.
Lin Sanjiu did not retreat. Instead, she charged forward and lashed out with another tornado whip.
This time, the ball of wind also turned into a block of color. The dark-skinned marionette waved his hand and tossed the block of color away. Then, he raised his hand to grab Lin Sanjiu, who was behind the block of color. Seeing that Lin Sanjiu was so close to him, any sane person would be suspicious. Unfortunately, the marionette didn't have a mind of its own.
Lin Sanjiu did not dodge. The puppet grabbed her arm in an instant. Her heart leaped into her throat.
The second seemed to drag on for a very long time. However, it was finally over. Lin Sanjiu heaved a sigh of relief and looked at her arm. Fortunately, it was still in its original form and not a mass of colors.
She had guessed correctly. The puppet was only here to capture her, not to kill her.
"When you see your master," Lin Sanjiu chuckled at the puppet, "Send my regards to him."
As soon as she finished speaking, she activated [A Twinkle in the Sky] and placed her hand on the puppet's hand. When he soared into the sky, Lin Sanjiu took a step back and pulled her arm with all her might. Finally, she managed to pull her arm out of his grasp. As for the burn marks and the red marks on her skin, they didn't matter to her at all.
In the blink of an eye, the puppet had become a bright spot in the sky. Lin Sanjiu looked away and let out a long sigh of relief.
"You can greet me in person. You don't have to do it for me."
When Lin Sanjiu heard those words, she felt as if half of her body had turned into ice. After a long while, she slowly turned around.
In the Salvation of God, which seemed to be devoid of sunlight, Puppeteer looked even paler. His body was thinner and weaker than before. It was as if he was folded from a piece of white paper. The silver glitter around his eyes made him look even paler. He did not look like a living person at all.
There was no one around him.
Puppeteer smiled and lowered his head. Half of his face was covered by his black hair.
"Long time no see, Lin Sanjiu."
Lin Sanjiu stared at him blankly. She was speechless. Even though she had already guessed it, she still couldn't suppress the shock in her heart when Puppeteer suddenly appeared in front of her. After a few seconds, she decided to play dumb.
"It really has been a long time." She forced a smile. "What happened to you after that? Did you return to the Twelve Worlds Centrum? How did you know I was here? "
Puppeteer clasped his hands together. The black leather started from his fingertips and extended all the way to his chest. It formed a tall leather collar around his neck, revealing only his sharp chin.
Puppeteer smiled when he heard Lin Sanjiu's question. "I asked Sanduria to inform me … Well, I was fine. After that, I went to the Endless Tunnel."
Even if Lin Sanjiu wanted to play dumb, she couldn't. The muscles on her face twitched, and the smile on her face disappeared.
"You … Bouncing Little Sesame is you," Lin Sanjiu said in a low voice. She exhaled and said in a low voice. She felt that the last trace of luck had melted like ice and snow, leaving behind a bone-chilling coldness. "Why?"
Puppeteer's sinister smile was like the dark clouds in the sky during a rainy day.
"Isn't it obvious?" He raised his arm, and through the creaking leather, he gently stroked the spot where he had been injured. "We both came from the Starry Carnival Amusement Park … I thought you should know that. There was no Uterus Project from the very beginning. "
Lin Sanjiu bit her lip and said nothing.
"I joined that instance dungeon for its ultimate prize. However, there was an accident. I didn't get the ultimate prize from the Starry Carnival Amusement Park … I didn't expect that you would get it, and I heard that you kept it until now. " Even when Puppeteer spoke softly, he could not hide the gloomy tone in his voice. "With your hypocritical personality, no wonder you didn't want to open it … Well, I'm glad."
