His words came so suddenly that Lin Sanjiu did not understand what he meant. "Huh? I can take you there … Are you hurt as well? "
Silvan smiled at her. Amidst the scattered golden shadows, the contrast between his bright green eyes and snow-white teeth was startling. "Then, take us there," he said in a husky voice as he stood up.
"Us?"
Lin Sanjiu was stunned. Then, his shadow, his body temperature, and the faint scent of fig enveloped her at the same time. There was also a faint smell of blood. She shivered and could not help but turn around to look at him. With his hands in his trouser pockets, he lowered his head to the crook of her neck. His messy blonde hair and gentle breath tickled her skin. "You guys can leave first. Stay away from the church, okay?"
Bohemia refused to look at him. She stared at the ground with her head lowered. As soon as he finished speaking, she rushed to the door as if she was running away from a famine. Lin Sanjiu followed him instinctively. She only came back to her senses when Silvan closed the door behind them with a loud bang.
She stood at the door and thought for a moment. Then, she gestured for Bohemia to retreat with her.
"What are you doing?" As soon as Silvan disappeared from her sight, Bohemia's brain returned to normal. She seemed to be able to breathe again.
"Didn't you tell us to stay away from the church?"
Lin Sanjiu did not expect that before she could finish her sentence, dozens of shadows leaped out from the darkness in front of them. Both of them were startled. Just as they were about to fight back, their eyes fell on the faces of the puppets with different skin tones but the same expressionless face. They immediately realized that they were puppets, so they quickly retracted their hands and dodged to the side.
As the dolls rushed past them like a tide, they looked at each other, and a different sort of surprise came over them.
"They … went to the church," Bohemia whispered as if she was afraid that someone would hear her.
Lin Sanjiu bit her lip and looked back hesitantly.
"Why did they call for puppets?"
"Silvan asked us to come out because …?" Bohemia did not finish her sentence.
Under the night sky, the half-ruined church stood faintly and quietly among the weeds and vines. The pale moonlight was like the lingering breath of a dying man. Rather than saying that it brightened one's vision, it was more like it was about to sink into the endless darkness. Both of them felt a little uneasy. After waiting for a few seconds, Lin Sanjiu coughed and tried to ease the tension by talking. "What happened to you just now?"
"What do you mean?" Bohemia still wanted to play dumb.
"You crashed the moment you saw Silvan," she said bluntly. "I've never seen such an exaggerated reaction."
Even if Bohemia did not understand what "dead" meant, she rolled her eyes to the back of her head. "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just not used to people like that, that's all. He … he looks quite impactful. "
Among the people who had seen Silvan before, compared to superficial descriptions like "handsome" and "good-looking", they seemed to think that "impactful" and "shocking" were more appropriate.
"You better get used to it," Lin Sanjiu reminded her. Lin Sanjiu reminded her, "After all, he is going to enter the Astral Plane with us. You can't act like a cripple." "That's right.
Although she could not figure out why Silvan seemed to treat her in a special way — of course, it was definitely not romantic — because of this, she was confident that Silvan would not refuse to help her.
"You are the disabled one. Let's not talk about him," Bohemia spun around in frustration. "Why do you want Puppeteer to go to Exodus? Do you know what people in the Twelve Worlds Centrum call him? "She lowered her voice," Mad Dog! "
"Today he is a friend, tomorrow he will be a puppet." The more she said, the paler her face became. She was so anxious that she wanted to shake Lin Sanjiu to get rid of this crazy idea. "If you want to die, why don't you go outside Exodus? I have a lot of things in my room …"
"We are not friends," Lin Sanjiu muttered. "Isn't that even worse?"
"Isn't that even worse?"
"He once accidentally said that he wouldn't kill me. I think he is a man of his word …"
Bohemia looked at Lin Sanjiu in despair, as if she was hopeless.
Lin Sanjiu opened her mouth and was about to say something, but a loud bang almost stopped her heart. Both of them took a few steps back out of reflex. When they looked up, they saw the roof of the abandoned church come crashing down in a cloud of dust. It was as if the roof of the church had turned into a defenseless piece of cloth that was sucked into the non-existent vacuum. Unable to hold on any longer, the roof collapsed into pieces.
The ground under their feet trembled slightly as if it was roaring. Both women were a little stunned.
Wasn't Puppeteer's bed like a net hanging on the roof?
"Let, let's run away now," Bohemia's eyes lit up. "They might have a disagreement and started fighting. It has nothing to do with us, so we can escape … Hey, where are you going? "
Lin Sanjiu dashed toward the church. Her speed was so fast that it seemed like an illusion.
"What are you guys doing?" Lin Sanjiu yelled. However, before she could get close to the entrance of the church, another figure suddenly pounced out from the shadows and charged straight at her. Lin Sanjiu stopped abruptly and turned nimbly like a fish in water. She dodged the attack and dodged it.
However, even though she managed to dodge one, she couldn't dodge the more puppets that came after the door opened. One of them was controlling a large number of bowling ball-sized balls. They rolled out of the church and flooded a large area of the church like a tidal wave. Lin Sanjiu was a little flustered at the sight of them.
"Get away from me!" Puppeteer's panting voice rang out from the church.
Lin Sanjiu was blocked by a few puppets. She dodged left and right, but she couldn't get out of their encirclement. Left with no choice, she yelled at the other person who was more reasonable, "Silvan! What are you doing? Why did you break the roof? "
Puppeteer couldn't have destroyed the roof himself.
"To assassinate him," Silvan answered. His voice was very pleasing to the ear. Even though there was a distance between them, it was as if he was whispering into Lin Sanjiu's ear, "How can I assassinate him if I don't get him down first?"
"Wait a minute, don't you guys know —"
Before Lin Sanjiu could finish her sentence, she was struck by a Mannequin's ability.
She did not expect Puppeteer to attack her at such a critical moment. She did not know what kind of ability the puppet possessed, but she felt as if her bones and muscles had been drenched in acid. The pain was so excruciating that they were all scrunched up and wriggled. The pain felt like an eternity. When the blinding light finally disappeared and her blood flow slowed down, Lin Sanjiu realized that her vision was too low. She gasped for air and realized that her vision was too low.
She was much shorter.
She wasn't as short as 1.8 meters to 1.6 meters. Lin Sanjiu blinked her eyes and looked at the bushes and the tops of the puppets' boots. For a moment, she couldn't understand what was going on.
"Lin Sanjiu?"
Lin Sanjiu only turned around when Bohemia called out to her with a trembling voice. She felt weird when she moved her body, as if her neck wasn't big enough. She turned around and stared at Bohemia and the back half of her green body in a daze.
After a few seconds, Bohemia's voice rang out from afar.
"You have turned into a cucumber."
"A cucumber?!"
Lin Sanjiu's five senses were still there, and she could open her mouth. However, her limbs were gone. When she loosened her grip in shock, she felt that her "neck" had bounced back to its original position, which matched the slightly springy tail of the cucumber.
When the puppets saw that Lin Sanjiu had turned into a cucumber, they immediately turned around and disappeared behind the church's door.
"My luck is pretty good," Puppeteer said as he panted and sneered. Even though he was in the middle of a battle, Puppeteer still managed to catch his breath and sneered, "I got the worst prize in one go."
No matter what kind of evolved ability she had, there must be a limit to it. The ability to change the appearance of the opponent's species was too powerful, so there must be a limit to it. Lin Sanjiu pondered for a moment and concluded that the limit was probably due to the time limit. She yelled, "Bohemia! Take me away! "
"Why would I take you away?" Bohemia refused to budge. "Scrambled eggs?"
"Stop fooling around!"
"You should stop fooling around. If they are fighting, let them fight. What are you doing here? "Bohemia was very unhappy." Wait here. I'm going to throw a rope at you. You have to catch it. "
However, before Bohemia could throw the rope at her, Lin Sanjiu felt her body loosening up. She felt a warm and comfortable sensation spreading through her body. Lin Sanjiu was right. Not only did the puppet's ability have a time limit, but the duration of the ability was also very short. The more powerful the ability, the stricter the time limit.
Lin Sanjiu looked at her hands and feet in disbelief. Then, she quickly got up from the ground. In the short span of a few dozen seconds when she turned into a cucumber, the church had become dark and quiet again. Just when Lin Sanjiu was about to walk up to him, the church door was pushed open from the inside.
Silvan rubbed his shoulder as he walked out of the church. He looked even more exhausted than before. He took off his Navy Blue uniform and hung it on his arm. Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell whether he was injured or not. When their eyes met, he bit his lip and smiled at her. Under the dim light of the night, his pair of lake-green eyes seemed to glow with a gentle light that could devour a person.
"Let's go," Silvan's tone was still gentle and intimate. "Bring us to your infirmary."
Lin Sanjiu turned to look behind him.
A tall and muscular puppet — obviously, it could only be a puppet — walked out of the church with a black shadow that was as thin as a dead leaf in his arms. Lin Sanjiu didn't know what Silvan did, but the puppet followed him without making any other moves.
