The wind blew past Lin Sanjiu, rustling the tall grass beneath her feet. She tucked her stray hair behind her ear, feeling her skin and blood gradually cooling down from the wind. She didn't know where it came from, but she felt a dull, faint tremor. It was as if a God was walking. However, it soon disappeared as if it was just an illusion.
She knew she couldn't stay silent for too long, but she really didn't know what to say or what to do.
She could only come up with a lousy solution.
She let out a long sigh. She felt a deep sense of exhaustion from the bottom of her heart. She sat on the ground with a thud and covered her face with her hands. After a while, she looked up at Puppeteer and said, "Aren't you tired of standing? Why don't you sit down and talk? "
Lin Sanjiu didn't know why, but the pale man in front of her suddenly curled up the corner of his lips. His smile was so faint that it disappeared in a flash, like the shadow of a passing cloud in the water. Lin Sanjiu's heart tightened when she saw his smile. She put up her guard.
As Puppeteer walked toward her, she couldn't help straightening her back. However, he did not sit down. When he was still a few steps away from her, the black leather boots stopped.
"What do you want to say?"
"Look," Lin Sanjiu said stubbornly, "Didn't we resolve the unhappiness in the past in Red Nautilus? What are you trying to do this time? "
Puppeteer lowered his head. His face was expressionless. Suddenly, the muscles under his eyes twitched, and the silver glitter flickered.
"Don't misunderstand. I didn't kill you, but it doesn't mean that I like you, "he said softly," If you want to befriend me, I'm afraid that you will fall to your death. "
"What a sharp tongue." Lin Sanjiu sighed again. "It seems like Puppeteer's ability has improved again. He can even control a God like Sanduria. But why does he still need the grand prize when he is already so powerful?"
"Does he know the contents of the grand prize?"
With this thought in mind, Lin Sanjiu asked tentatively, "Who told you that I haven't opened the grand prize? I opened it a long time ago. I opened it the moment I won the game … "
A mocking smile appeared on Puppeteer's face. "Oh? What did you wish for? "
He thought that Geran's words were true!
Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. She immediately put on a surprised expression. She regretted not following Qing Jiuliu to the class. She only hoped that she didn't look too pompous, "What are you talking about? Don't you know? "
Puppeteer raised his eyebrows.
"After opening that prize, it's just an ability, not a wish." She waved her hand. "How can there be such a powerful thing? Otherwise, if I make a wish and end this doomsday cycle, wouldn't I be free?"
"Of course, wishes are also difficult to fulfill."
"No matter how small the wishes were, I didn't make any of them. Because there's only one ability called Scrooge McDuck. If you don't believe me, I'll show you. "
"Are you going to tell me?" Puppeteer said slowly as he bent down and stared into Lin Sanjiu's eyes. "You saw a living person in front of you. You had no grudge against him, but you ignored his crying and begging. You even killed him for your own selfish reasons?"
Lin Sanjiu opened her mouth. She had no idea how much Puppeteer knew, so she wasn't sure if she should deny that her grand prize was a humanoid. She steeled her resolve and said, "What do you mean by killing him? I … I just took the prize. "
As soon as her voice trailed off, she felt goosebumps all over her body. Something was charging at her. She hurriedly conjured a whirlpool of air in front of her. However, the whirlpool couldn't stop the thing. In the next second, she was thrown far away by the thing.
Lin Sanjiu fell to the ground with a thud. She quickly jumped up. When she looked up, she was stunned.
Puppeteer was still standing a few steps away from her. She didn't even know when he caught up to her. His hands were crossed, and one side of his black hair hung low on his collarbone. It was as if he had not moved at all.
"There's one thing you'd better remember. I can't stand a lot of nonsense," Puppeteer said. His tone was as gentle and polite as when they first met, but it couldn't hide the gloomy coldness in it. "After I was sent to another Starry Carnival Amusement Park, I saw the final prize. I even verified the information. The final prize in every amusement park was the same. It was a humanoid that looked no different from a living person."
'Did he not see what happened after the grand prize was opened? '
Lin Sanjiu was a little confused. She wanted to ask Puppeteer what had happened in the other amusement park, but she was afraid of provoking him. Since things had come to this point, she had no choice but to press on. "No matter what you say, I've already opened the final prize. There's only one ability, that's all. If you can take it, I'll give it to you. "
Puppeteer straightened his back and stared at her. His expression had completely disappeared. Lin Sanjiu could not tell whether Puppeteer believed her words or not. If she was a person who had no qualms about killing, her words would be much more believable. Unfortunately, Puppeteer probably knew that she was not one of them.
However, even if he didn't believe her words...
Under his cold gaze, Lin Sanjiu stiffened her neck and waited for a while. When she saw that he didn't say a word, she couldn't hold it in any longer. She couldn't help but speak first, "Everything I said is the truth. It's up to you whether you believe it or not. I can't do anything about it. But the cat doctor treated your wounds, so why do you have to make things difficult for him? Where is he now? Or should you release the cat doctor — "
"Everything you said is the truth?" Puppeteer interrupted her. He flashed a smile that didn't contain a hint of a smile. "Since you still care about the cat, you should think twice before you open your mouth. Do you think that I can't do anything to you just because you talk nonsense? "
Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. She couldn't continue.
"After I found out that you got the final prize, I started to search for you. I planted informants in the Twelve Worlds Centrum, found a Consular Officer, and posted a message to look for you … [eBay] was just a line I planted along the way. I didn't expect that it would bear fruit in the end. "
Lin Sanjiu didn't know why he would suddenly bring this up. She gulped dryly. The pale man wrapped in black leather seemed to be unusually patient. He spoke again unhurriedly.
"The funny thing is, I didn't get this Special Item because of you." Puppeteer's gaze was still fixed on her. He turned his body slightly and snapped his fingers. Then, he smiled. "I purposely changed my route to the Endless Tunnel to retrieve an item I bought from [eBay]. Now, I've also gotten this product. "
In a daze, Lin Sanjiu raised her head and looked past Puppeteer at the grassland behind him.
The grassland in that direction was empty except for the tall yellowing grass, which swayed in the wind under the white fog. She looked around twice but didn't see anything. Then, when she shifted her gaze again, she saw a few vague figures in the air.
"With this product, I can even tell which of your words are lies, and to what extent they are fake."
Puppeteer stood there quietly, waiting for the few figures to come closer. Even though the puppets' limbs were stiff, they were very fast. In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Lin Sanjiu and Puppeteer.
Just like the black man from before, their eyes were dull and lifeless. Their throats were cut in half by a thick thread. When Lin Sanjiu looked at each of them one by one, she suddenly jumped up from her seat.
Among the three of them, there was one who wasn't a puppet.
Lin Sanjiu stood there in a daze. She stared at the familiar face in front of her. She almost thought that she was hallucinating.
Hu Changzai opened his mouth and almost called out, "Xiao Jiu." Fortunately, he quickly realized that something was wrong. He quickly shut his mouth and stared at her blankly.
He was held in the middle by two puppets, one on the left and the other on the right. Other than his face being a little pale and his hair growing out, there was nothing wrong with him. Compared to Lin Sanjiu's memory, Hu Changzai seemed to be fatter. There was even a circle around his waist.
When Lin Sanjiu sensed that Puppeteer was staring at her, she quickly summoned her [Tornado Whip] and held it in her hand. She pretended that she had jumped up just to defend herself against the puppets. After a few seconds, Puppeteer finally shifted his gaze away from her.
"You heard everything, right?" Puppeteer turned to look at Hu Changzai. The glitter around his eyes slowly turned from silver to crimson. "Which part of what she said was a lie?"
