"Currently, the hatch of one of the healing pods has been damaged. Mechanical maintenance personnel, please rush to the infirmary immediately. I repeat …"
"Warning, the side door of Area A1 is under attack. Warning, the side door of Area A1 is under attack …"
"Mechanical maintenance personnel, please rush to the infirmary immediately …"
Silas's voice echoed through the entire floor of the airship as the warning beeped again and again. Lin Sanjiu had already rushed out of the room. She was so overwhelmed that she didn't know if she should go to the door to fight off the puppets or go to the infirmary to look for Puppeteer. Either way, it wasn't going to be easy.
However, she couldn't let anyone else deal with Puppeteer's problem for her. There was no need to mention Bohemia and the twins. She was afraid that the puppets would come back if they went out. Silvan could hold off the puppets for a while, but she didn't want to risk turning Exodus into a battlefield.
She had to solve the source of the problem first.
After making up her mind, Lin Sanjiu sprinted all the way to the infirmary. Halfway there, she slapped her forehead and hastily called for another hovercraft. When she jumped out of the hovercraft at the entrance of the infirmary, she suddenly frowned and hesitated. She didn't push the door open and go in. She craned her neck to listen, but there was only dead silence inside.
"Huh?"
Lin Sanjiu probably wouldn't be surprised even if a Godzilla came out of the infirmary and started destroying everything. On the contrary, it was the complete silence that made her suspicious.
A few seconds had passed, but she didn't hear Silas's voice.
"What happened?
Is he dead? "
Lin Sanjiu gathered her courage for a while. Finally, she wrapped her hand with the little bit of Higher Consciousness that she had recovered and gently opened the door of the infirmary. The door slid open, revealing a white, hard, and cold space.
As expected, the infirmary was badly damaged. The door was broken in half and hung on the ground dejectedly, revealing countless thin, dying wires. Even the sparks were no longer flickering.
Puppeteer, who was covered in black, was sitting on the snow-white wall and surrounded by lights. He was like a narrow and thin black hole, absorbing all the light around him. Lin Sanjiu heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that he was obviously not dead. However, she was soon puzzled. She approached him cautiously as if she was facing a ferocious beast.
Surprisingly, Puppeteer did not react at all.
It was obvious that he had seen Lin Sanjiu because his dark eyes moved slightly in the shadows. However, he did not flare up, nor did he attack her. He just sat there in a daze, just like an ordinary person who woke up after a long sleep and was in a daze.
Lin Sanjiu walked to his side and raised her hands warily. After a while, she put her hands down again.
His jet-black hair, without any luster, was scattered over his shoulders and neck. His pale, bloodless skin was like a layer of snow mist, and his faint, green veins could be seen in the mist. Lin Sanjiu plucked up her courage and brushed his hair aside. She saw a fresh needle hole on his skin.
It was only then that she noticed a line of words on the wall of the med bay behind Puppeteer: sedative.
injected。
… Seems like he was injected with sedatives?
No wonder he's so calm. A sedative that could make a normal person fall into a deep sleep only made a posthuman lose consciousness and wander in a daze.
Even though the door of the med bay was broken, it could still be activated at the critical moment. Lin Sanjiu thought to herself, 'I have to find a way to fix it.'
She called out, "Puppeteer?" Puppeteer raised his head obediently.
There was no anger or coldness in his jet-black eyes. There was only a faint, almost transparent glitter around his eyes that flickered from time to time, like the night stars reflected on the surface of a deep pool.
"... Hmm?" Puppeteer responded. His expression was as pure as the wilderness after a snowstorm. It was as if he had turned back into a defenseless teenager.
Lin Sanjiu panicked a little.
She had never faced Puppeteer like this before, and she did not know if he would remember anything after this. For a moment, she did not know what to do. She could only coax him softly, "You are injured, but this med bay is broken. It can't stabilize your condition. Can you move to another med bay? "
She only had three med bay cabins. She could only pray that Puppeteer would not destroy another one when the effect of the sedative wore off.
"Okay," Puppeteer nodded. His thin body made him look like an underfed lamb. Lin Sanjiu did not dare to touch him, so she watched as he staggered out of the med bay in a daze. When he walked into another med bay without saying a word, Lin Sanjiu quickly whispered a few words to Silas.
Puppeteer was sitting in the med bay, but his mind and consciousness seemed to be wandering in outer space, isolated from his surroundings. Lin Sanjiu quickly cut off the communication and walked toward him. She comforted him, "Erm, it's okay. Your injuries will be healed here. Come, lie down. "
When Lin Sanjiu first saw Puppeteer walking up the stage surrounded by his puppets, she would never have imagined that she would say such words to Puppeteer one day. "What happened in between?" Lin Sanjiu thought to herself.
Even though her words were harsh, Puppeteer responded to her with a nasal voice in a very, very gentle way.
He turned his head to look at the med bay behind him. Suddenly, he hesitated. Then, he raised his head to look at Lin Sanjiu. His dark eyes flickered a few times as he stared at her. Lin Sanjiu felt that he had lost the courage to lie down again.
Lin Sanjiu sighed deeply. She couldn't help combing his messy black hair with her fingertips, hoping that her action would comfort him a little.
By the time he recovers, I'm afraid I'll really die … She struggled between tenderness and fear as she thought unwillingly.
"Did you call me?"
Without any warning, a head popped in from outside the med bay. Bohemia, no matter how many jingling encumbrances she wore, could sneak up on people as quietly as a cat.
"I need to talk to you," Lin Sanjiu said. She could feel Bohemia's gaze following her hand. "Come here for a moment."
"I'm not."
"It's okay. He's not in danger now."
"I am."
Lin Sanjiu sighed again, "He's sedated. He's safe. He won't hurt you." Lin Sanjiu sighed again, "He has been sedated, so he is safe. He won't hurt you."
She glanced at the damaged med bay and stopped about ten steps away from Puppeteer. "What do you want?" "I won't be in Exodus tonight," Lin Sanjiu observed Bohemia's expression. She was ready to grab her when Bohemia turned around and left, "I hope you can stay in the med bay and take care of Puppeteer."
"I won't be in Exodus tonight," Lin Sanjiu said as she studied Bohemia's expression. She was ready to grab her when Bohemia turned around and left, "I hope that you can stay in the infirmary and take care of Puppeteer for a while."
Bohemia turned around and walked away. Lin Sanjiu grabbed her sleeve. Now that she was dressed like a gypsy, it was much easier to grab her.
"You might need to lie down and treat your brain," Bohemia said, her face turning pale. "Do I look like someone who's tired of living?"
"I promise you that he won't be in danger," Lin Sanjiu said. "When he wakes up, he will need someone to explain the situation to him, listen to his orders, and prevent him from breaking the med bay again … Puppeteer can't do all these trivial things. You haven't offended him, and his killing intent is reserved for Silvan and me. "
"You want me to prevent him from —" Bohemia was so angry that she couldn't finish her sentence. "Do you think you know him so well?"
Lin Sanjiu was speechless. She wanted to say yes, but she was too embarrassed to do so. Just when Bohemia snorted and was about to leave, Lin Sanjiu hurriedly grabbed Bohemia's arm and threw out a new bait. "Do me a favor and I'll do you a favor, okay?"
Bohemia was stunned. She rolled her eyes as if something had caught her attention.
While Bohemia was hesitating, Lin Sanjiu struck while the iron was hot, "Besides, aren't you always good at fighting? I'm not asking you to fight him. If something really goes wrong, you can just run away when he just regains consciousness. Don't tell me you can't run away? "
On top of that, the puppet that Silvan had somehow taken control of was still standing in the dining room with nothing to do. She planned to mix it with the other puppets in the dining room as a shield to protect Bohemia, even though she did not think that Puppeteer would lay his hands on his friend.
However, Lin Sanjiu didn't want to tell Bohemia about this. She just didn't want to see the woman being too reckless.
Lin Sanjiu didn't know whether Lin Sanjiu's words worked or Puppeteer, who was listening to their quarrel, looked harmless enough. In the end, Bohemia reluctantly agreed to Lin Sanjiu's request. She moved a chair and sat about ten steps away from him. Her body was stiff as if she was trapped in an iron cage.
With someone beside him, Puppeteer seemed to be a lot calmer. After he lay down, the sealed door of the medical pod was closed once again.
"The next step is to bring the puppets in …" Lin Sanjiu sat in the cockpit. She planned to call Silvan over once she realized that she couldn't control the group of puppets. Since they were going to be comrades in the future, she didn't have to worry about troubling him.
"Silas, what's the situation at the entrance?"
"Damaged 5%."
"How annoying … No, I mean, is the person at the entrance still there?"
"Yes, that person is still there."
"One? But the twins … "Lin Sanjiu suddenly remembered something. Silas could only use the thermal sensor to determine whether there was someone at the entrance or not. Naturally, the puppets didn't have any body heat.
"Then, who is the only living person?"
Lin Sanjiu thought as she opened the pneumatic door. When her gaze fell on the person who was pacing back and forth, Lin Sanjiu's jaw dropped.
"Xiao Jiu!"
