Hu Changzai's throat gurgled as a string of strange noises rolled past.
He was no longer wearing his spectacles, but his spectacles were still protruding from his previous severe myopia. He looked at Puppeteer and Lin Sanjiu stupidly until Puppeteer suddenly lost his patience. "Say something!"
"Ah," Hu Changzai was startled. He coughed. His face slowly turned red, white, and green. "She … she doesn't seem to be lying."
This sentence was said with great difficulty, it was squeezed out from his throat one word at a time. Hu Chang Zai did not know how to say one thing, and that was a lie.
Puppeteer narrowed his eyes. His glitter stopped turning crimson and turned back to silver.
"Are you saying that she didn't lie at all?" he asked softly.
Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. When Puppeteer turned his head away, she glared at Hu Changzai with all her might. However, there were still two puppets facing her, so she couldn't do anything. She could only twitch her lips. She wasn't sure if Hu Changzai could understand what she was trying to say.
"Not … not really," Hu Changzai stuttered for a while. Finally, he found an excuse that allowed him to speak smoothly. "I didn't hear what she said clearly. I can only say that from what I heard, she didn't lie — "
Puppeteer's face immediately turned gloomy.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" He waved his hand, and the two puppets brought Hu Changzai closer. He said coldly to Lin Sanjiu, "Repeat what you said just now."
This time, Hu Changzai had some time to prepare himself. When he said "she didn't lie," his expression was much more natural. Not only did he cover up for Lin Sanjiu, he even learned how to tell a lie. A lie that was 30% true and 70% false was the hardest to distinguish.
"Most of her words were true, but there were a few lies. For example, she said she didn't know the prize was a humanoid. That's …"
"That's enough," Puppeteer waved his hand and interrupted him gloomily. He had clearly lost his patience. He strode toward Lin Sanjiu and stared into her eyes. Both of them stared at each other for a few seconds.
Even though her nerves were tense, Lin Sanjiu pretended to be calm and said, "Look, I'm not lying to you. I told you, I opened the grand prize … "
Before she could finish her sentence, the expression of the man standing in front of her had already become more and more suspicious and sinister, looking as if he could wring water out of it. Lin Sanjiu took half a step back. She couldn't help raising her guard. As a precaution, she had already activated her [Defence Forcefield]. No matter what, she couldn't let Puppeteer touch her skin.
She still remembered that in Red Nautilus, parts of the cat doctor and AYU's bodies had been turned into dolls by Puppeteer.
"I … don't believe it."
Puppeteer uttered these few words softly, and both of them froze. The doubtful expression on his face had disappeared. Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell if he was just feeling indignant or not. Puppeteer glanced at Hu Changzai from the corner of his eye, "I don't care what kind of person you are. Humans are not as reliable as puppets. Since you can't become my puppet, I have no choice but to put you through this. "
He waved his finger, and the two puppets immediately dragged Hu Changzai back. Even though they had been separated from each other for so many worlds, his combat ability did not seem to have increased much. When the two puppets dragged him, he was involuntarily dragged into an empty space at the back and soon disappeared. Puppeteer must have placed a Special Item there.
'Could the cat doctor be in there? '
Lin Sanjiu gritted her teeth and forced herself not to say a word.
She just wanted to laugh bitterly. She didn't expect that other than the grand prize and the cat doctor, Puppeteer would also have Hu Changzai to worry about.
"What do you want then?" She sighed and asked, "Look, the humanoid guy beside me is this half-human … If you are willing to exchange the cat doctor for him, you can do it."
Puppeteer had already seen the half-human brother on Lin Sanjiu's back, but he did not look at him. He probably knew that the grand prize couldn't survive being cut in half.
"It's okay," Puppeteer said gently, "I saw that there was no one else beside you. So, I decided to be more lenient with you … Go and find the grand prize for me. When you bring the grand prize back, I will give you the cat doctor. "
Lin Sanjiu's face turned pale, but she did not give up. "I really dismembered him. Didn't that guy say —"
"I will wait for you here."
His words instantly added another worry to Lin Sanjiu's mind. Her heart sank.
'Puppeteer can't stay here! '
There was a towel hanging in the forest not far from here. It was still fluttering in the wind. The grand prize didn't have many towels with him. Since he left a mark here, he couldn't possibly leave and never come back. Otherwise, the mark would be meaningless. Lin Sanjiu didn't know if every grand prize looked the same, but she couldn't afford to let Puppeteer and the grand prize bump into each other.
'But how can I make him leave on his own accord? '
Lin Sanjiu said nothing. Her brain was working fast, but she couldn't come up with a proper solution.
Seeing that Puppeteer was about to leave, Lin Sanjiu panicked and called out, "Wait!"
The figure in front of her stopped and did not say anything.
"Um … Isn't it a little too dangerous for you to bring a few puppets with you?" Lin Sanjiu said, "I'm afraid that you won't be able to protect Dr. Hu well."
Puppeteer spun around abruptly. The glitter around his eyes had already turned into a dark red color that was as thick as blood. Lin Sanjiu stared at the bulging veins on his temples. She gritted her teeth and continued, "I've stayed in this area before. There are many dangerous Giant Gods around here. You, you are alone. I … "
With a snap of Puppeteer's fingers, a shadow that blotted out the sky emerged from the white mist. In the blink of an eye, it had transformed into a gigantic foot. With a loud rumble, it stomped heavily on Puppeteer's back, causing the ground to tremble. Lin Sanjiu looked up from the mountain-like ankle and saw Sanduria's familiar red robe again.
"What did you say just now?" the man wrapped in black leather asked softly.
Lin Sanjiu stared at Sanduria with her mouth agape. After some time, she asked, "Why … Why can you command a God?"
"It's simple." Puppeteer was still angry, but he still had a twisted smile on his face. "I can find a weak God and turn her into a puppet. Then, I can help her kill a few Gods. Isn't that enough? I tried it and found that it's a very useful method. "
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help shuddering.
"Oh, right." Puppeteer lowered his head. The shadow of his black hair covered half of his face. "It's been a long time since we last met. I guess you miss your companions, right? I'm not a completely cruel person. "
Lin Sanjiu widened her eyes. She understood what he meant.
AYU, who had a dozen Souls in her body, appeared in Lin Sanjiu's line of sight very soon. The puppets pushed AYU to Lin Sanjiu's side. Soulsqn had changed her skin, but she seemed to be obsessed with the "young girl with twin ponytails". This time, the skin she found was also a young girl. Since this corpse had been tied into twin ponytails for a long time and did not have the vitality to regrow her hair, there was a large patch of greenish-white scalp on her head.
"This is not my companion!" Lin Sanjiu gritted her teeth and said in a low voice.
"I know." Puppeteer smiled and walked away.
