When Lin Sanjiu thought back to that day, she couldn't help thinking, "If I had taken the opportunity when Puppeteer's hand stopped and rammed my head forward, would I have become who I am now?" Lin Sanjiu thought to herself. Or could it be that … Lin Sanjiu was already destined to walk this path from the day the Hyperthermal Hell descended?
However, she knew that she was oversimplifying things by ramming her head into Puppeteer's hand.
This was because she couldn't move at all when Puppeteer was pointing at her forehead.
It wasn't that someone was holding her down or restricting her movements. It was just that when she was facing Puppeteer, she felt like she was facing an unpredictable monster from the abyss. In the dark fog, she could only see a vague silhouette. Just this alone was enough to make her tremble in fear and make her legs turn to jelly.
Lin Sanjiu didn't have the courage to move.
However, Puppeteer, who gave her such an impression, was nonchalant. Judging from his expression, most of his attention wasn't on Lin Sanjiu at all.
The interlude of the [Versu Poison] only delayed him for a few seconds. When Puppeteer withdrew his hand, Lin Sanjiu noticed that there was a red ring on his finger. Puppeteer removed the ring and placed it on her forehead, avoiding touching her skin. He sighed and said, "You are not a Consular Officer, so you are not a Consular Officer. I had placed all my bets on you … "
It seemed that he had already memorized her face when Lin Sanjiu looked out from the container.
"The ring should be a detection device that can identify a consular officer. It is indeed much more convenient with this." Lin Sanjiu glanced at it and mustered her courage to speak, "M-Puppeteer … Lord Puppeteer …"
She followed Shen Lianqi's example.
Puppeteer walked past her without turning his head. "Hmm?" Then, he pressed the ring on Hu Changzai's forehead. A mannequin that Lin Sanjiu had never seen before immediately took a step forward and stood right next to Lin Sanjiu's face.
"The Consular Officer in this area is dead …" The image of Fang Dan sitting on the ground with a knife handle sticking out of her stomach flashed across Lin Sanjiu's mind. She took a deep breath. He deliberately ignored the dummy beside him and squeezed out a smile. "I saw it with my own eyes."
Puppeteer froze for a moment.
"Is that so?" His tone was still calm and polite. His golden eyes slowly turned to Lin Sanjiu. "Then why didn't you tell me when I asked?"
Her heart thumped. Just as he was about to explain, he caught a glimpse of Shen Lianqi's expression, which was ten times worse than before. Her heart froze, and the words were stuck in her mouth, not coming out.
"Since you know how to address me as Lord. Then you should know what I like. " Puppeteer's expression did not change. "You want me to wait on the stage like an idiot, but you have the answer in your heart. Are you trying to make fun of me?"
"This … is not …"
The situation did not seem too good.
Just when Lin Sanjiu was remorseful and her body tensed up, Puppeteer unexpectedly turned around and walked to the next person. He did not pay any attention to her anymore.
It seemed that this person's personality was not too tyrannical. Just as this thought came to her mind, she suddenly heard a low, sobbing voice beside her, "Oh no …"
It was Shen Lianqi.
"What's wrong?" Lin Sanjiu asked quickly.
Shen Lianqi looked at her with a complicated gaze. "With Puppeteer's … Lord's temper, don't you understand why he let you go just now?"
How could Lin Sanjiu understand?
Seeing that she still had a confused look on her face. Shen Lianqi stomped his feet and sighed. "You look so smart, but why are you so stupid? In Puppeteer's eyes, we are just pieces of dead meat. That's why he didn't even bother to do anything to you … "
His face was pale as he mumbled to himself, "Looks like the rumor might be true … We can't go on like this …"
The mannequins standing beside Shen Lianqi raised their hands with a stoic expression. It was only then that Lin Sanjiu realized that none of the mannequins standing beside them had guns in their hands. The mannequin reached out to grab Shen Lianqi's arm, but Shen Lianqi swung his arm away. A sharp bone spike shot out from his elbow. With the force of the wind, the bone spike sliced off the mannequin's hand without a sound.
The mannequin's hand, which seemed to be made of human skin and flesh, became a plastic object. It had already turned into a plastic object and landed on the ground with a "pa" sound.
Puppeteer, who had already walked a few dozen meters away, stopped.
"Do you want to die?" Before Lin Sanjiu could say anything, Hu Changzai, who was behind her, said anxiously, "He's coming!"
Shen Lianqi forced a smile at Lin Sanjiu, "I'm sorry, I can't help you. Didn't I tell you? Let's run for our lives … "
Puppeteer's footsteps were leisurely, as if he wasn't in a hurry. However, after a few steps, he was already behind Hu Changzai.
"300 kilometers to the south …" Shen Lianqi tried his best not to look at Hu Changzai. Cold sweat trickled down his face like raindrops, "Directional Jump!"
As soon as he said that, he shot up into the sky like a rocket. He knocked the mannequin that was pouncing on him away, and in the blink of an eye, he was already flying toward the south. Soon, he disappeared from sight, leaving only a cloud of dust behind him.
"Ah … So, he's a product from the Munitions Factory …" Puppeteer was a step too late. He stood beside Lin Sanjiu with his hands on his waist. "I didn't expect that there would be residents from the Twelve Worlds Centrum in this new, remote Class-D world. I was too careless. Forget it, it doesn't matter if he's here or not … "
He turned around, and Lin Sanjiu couldn't help taking a step back.
Unexpectedly, Puppeteer acted as if she didn't exist. He waved his hand and called the mannequin on the ground over. He smiled and asked, "Did anyone see that guy's face just now?"
It was a plastic mannequin in women's clothing. She raised her expressionless face and pointed her arm stiffly at Lin Sanjiu.
"Shit!" That was the first thought that popped into Lin Sanjiu's mind. Reflexively, Lin Sanjiu kicked the ground and leaped backward. The long, whip-like mouthpiece in her hand shot toward the mannequin that was following closely behind her.
When the mannequin's head fell to the ground, Lin Sanjiu's boots landed heavily on the ground. She skidded backward for a few meters before she steadied herself. Lin Sanjiu looked up. She saw Puppeteer standing in front of her, smiling at her. Both of them maintained the same distance from each other as if she hadn't moved at all.
"Don't run. I just need a pair of eyes from you … "
Cold sweat trickled down her back. Lin Sanjiu gulped. She understood a little of Shen Lianqi's fear. The person in front of her was not on the same level as her.
Just when Puppeteer was about to lift his leg, a small yellowish-brown shadow suddenly appeared out of nowhere and charged toward his chest. At the same time, Hu Changzai charged toward Puppeteer from behind. He clenched his fist and swung it toward Puppeteer's exposed neck. Their goal was simple. As long as they could touch Puppeteer's skin, their mission would be complete.
On the other side, Hai Tianqing pushed aside the plastic mannequin in front of him and strode forward. He grabbed Lin Sanjiu's clothes and pulled her behind him. Lin Sanjiu was still in a daze.
After all, they had been partners for quite some time. Their actions were swift and efficient. They blocked off all possible escape routes. If it were anyone else, they would have been hit. However, when B.Rabbit fell back to the ground and Hu Changzai stopped his charge, Puppeteer was still standing in the middle, unscathed and relaxed.
Countless noises rang out in the surroundings. Seeing that someone had escaped and someone had resisted, the commotion in this corner spread like a tidal wave. Soon, the other two hundred people also became restless.
"Sigh, they are just giving me trouble," Puppeteer sighed and said softly, "Forget it. Kill the rest of them. Make an opening on their necks. Don't hurt their bodies. "
Even though Puppeteer was just muttering to himself, all the mannequins, mannequins, and dolls seemed to have received his order at the same time. Before Lin Sanjiu could react, there were already more than ten pillars of blood spurting from the sky. They were dozens of meters high.
She wondered how many of their main arteries had been cut open.
"No, we can't defeat him. We have to escape …" Lin Sanjiu mumbled. It was only a matter of time before Puppeteer attacked them.
"But how can we escape? We are already surrounded by those mannequins! "B.Rabbit's anxious voice rang in her ears.
Under the onslaught of the sea of mannequins, the group of more than two hundred people couldn't hold on for long. A large portion of them had already been devoured. Blood splattered in the sky like fireworks. A few drops of blood fell on Puppeteer's face. He stuck out his purplish red tongue and licked them off.
Puppeteer frowned when he saw Lin Sanjiu's head. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He laughed and said, "So, you are a Growth-type!"
"Growth-type. It's that term again. I've heard it a few times already." Lin Sanjiu walked out from behind Hai Tianqing and gestured for her companions to stay away from Puppeteer. Hoping to stall for time, she asked, "What is a Growth-type?"
She didn't expect Puppeteer to answer her question. All of them were prepared for a battle.
Unexpectedly, Puppeteer seemed to be in a relaxed mood. He laughed and said in a relaxed tone, "It's boring to fight and kill all the time. Why don't I have a chat with you, my little friend?"
"Just like how Posthumans are superior to ordinary humans, we Growth-types are the best among the Posthumans. Even though we are weak at the beginning, the real power lies in the hands of the Growth-types. We are few in number, but we are born to rule … "His pale skin was flushed with excitement.
"You are also a … Growth-type?" Lin Sanjiu looked at him in surprise.
"That's right." Amidst the screams of the dying humans, Puppeteer nodded in satisfaction and smiled. "Speaking of which, I should be your companion instead of these low-level evolved humans. As long as you're willing to follow me, I can guarantee you a path of power that no one will dare to defy."
He paused for a moment and revealed a row of teeth, "However, to show your determination to join your compatriots, you have to get rid of these people."
Lin Sanjiu's face tightened. She bit her lower lip so hard that it turned white.
"What a long-winded old man. You sure talk a lot of nonsense. Do you always act like this when you get older? "B.Rabbit sneered.
Hearing that, half of Puppeteer's face scrunched up. His smile was filled with hostility, "I only talk to Growth-types. Cats and dogs like you are an eyesore."
Just as he raised his hand, he was interrupted by a slightly trembling female voice, "Wait, let me do it!"
Hai Tianqing and the rest were stunned. They turned to look at Lin Sanjiu, dumbfounded.
Puppeteer narrowed his eyes and stared at her.
Lin Sanjiu avoided her companions' gazes and whispered, "I'm sorry." Then, she kicked B.Rabbit. (To be continued.)
